The Focacceria by Montelupo

We loved the focaccia pizza more than the sandwiches. We got the finocchiona, and it was delicious. It was spicy and flavorful. The salumi was a little bland. It had no punchy flavors. We would come back to try their other focaccia pizzas.

We were there on a Tuesday night and it was a little slow. This place has been out of pizza so often, we have given up on trying to get a slice….. but we finally got one. It was worth the wait. The arugula salad was nothing to write home about, I was wanting a little more variety of vegetables on it TBH

I don’t usually like to make the trek over to Portland, but my brother really wanted to show us this place. Worth the drive! We lucked out and got a table before it got busy. I ordered the mushroom and the pepperoni focaccia. Wow! Their pesto is fantastic. Pepperoni was just my safe choice but that was excellent as well. For those with nut allergies, I did ask about their pesto and was told it contains sunflower seeds! No pine nuts or other tree nuts. I did not buy anything else there, but they had a vast assortment of meats, cheeses, wine, pasta, sauces, and more.

My peers had nothing but great things to say about Montelupo, so we had no choice but to try it for ourselves. The experience surpassed all expectations. The pepperoni focaccia, Caesar radicchio salad, and garlic rolls were high quality. I also like that the dining atmosphere wasn't too uppity. 5 stars!

I was shocked when I saw the wolf logo driving past this place for work, remembering it from pasta sauces I buy from a small bakery with the same logo. Stopped there for a quick bite of pizza today while on route, glad I did . I had a pepperoni pizza slice, the dough is fluffy with a nice chew to it, the sauce has great flavor and spice to it, the pepperoni has great kick to it. The staff were funny and welcoming, glad I stopped by! I recommend their Tomato Butter sauce for spaghetti and meatballs!

Great little spot! Small shop with walk up counter, a few tables inside and a few out front. Not a great place for large parties 5+. The focaccia is already made but once you order they heat and dress it. Since it gets pretty busy it can take longer than you would expect from food already made. That being said the focaccia is delicious and beautifully presented. Love the little market wall and cold case as well.

This shop offers focaccia that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Although it's a small space, there are seats available both inside and outside. We had the Crispy Prosciutto Focaccia and the Pepperoni Focaccia. Both were freshly baked, wonderfully crispy on the outside, and quite filling.🤤 The interior has a stylish and cute atmosphere.🌞

Me: "This is cold right? They should have reheated it longer?" My partner: "Wait, you think they reheated it?" I've probably eaten here 7 times since it opened and really enjoyed it until my most recent visit. Nice change in seating configuration but please serve your food hot. I feel like a jerk for not reviewing it 4/5 back in 2023 but here we are.

Love this place!! The only store in town that always has Guanciale in stock! The staff are really kind and helpful too!

After a long few hours of walking I became aggressively hungry and was delighted to find the focacciaria. I got a square of pepperoni ($7). It was pretty big! Would've loved more cheese and sauce. A few too many pepperonis for my taste. The service was great. Waited about 7-8 mins for my pizza. I was still a bit hungry after though. There is no pasta here so the photo is misleading. The inside is very clean and cute. Lots of Italian goodies to purchase. Worth a stop for a quick bite.

Came here on a whim and was not disappointed. I tried the staff favorite pizza (had salami and mama's lils). It was spicy (so beware if you don't like heat) and the texture was perfection... imagine perfect focaccia plus pizza toppings. Limited seating available though and a bit expensive. Two slices of pizza was about $20. I'd say because it's a thicker pizza, it's very filling. Would still eat here again!

I had a fantastic meal at Montelupo Market. Cutest little shop. I believe they have a second location for pasta. They have a few booths inside and some seating outside. All the focaccia flavors looked so good I really didn't know what to get but the woman taking my order suggested the special that day so that's what I got. The focaccia was so thick and fluffy which I loved. The ricotta was sooo good on mine and the meatballs were super flavorful. They give you a pretty large piece and it's only 8$ which I think is very reasonable. They also have sandwiches, salads, and a few desserts like tiramisu. Would definitely recommend coming here but bring a friend so you can try more flavors!!

An absolute sucker for focaccia, I knew I had to stop in for a slice of pizza before leaving Portland. I found easy street parking right out front on a Sunday afternoon and went in for a slice of the mushroom pizza, which I requested to be heated up. The focaccia was so airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and the slice came with a light arugula side salad. I also got the regular focaccia and olive focaccia to bring back to Washington and enjoyed them that evening with some olive oil and balsamic. Interior was small, but filled with lots of goodies in their market, like French butter, fresh pasta, sauce, and artisanal sodas. Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in the area!

Saw this place on instagram a few times right before a PDX trip, so bookmarked it and made a point to check it out! We came by for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed! There was a line to the door, all the tables were full, and lots of people were standing around waiting to grab a table. The seating was pretty limited so we ordered our squares to go. While we were waiting, a table became available so we ended up getting to eat there after all. Perfect for the freshest bites. Two of us shared the mushroom and onion squares, we asked them to cut them in half and they were happy to oblige. I liked both of the squares, but the onion one was probably the winner for me. Though the real winner was the focaccia. I could've eaten 5 pieces of the bread topping-free. The toppings were flavorful, but a little different. The mushrooms had a super nutty taste to the point that I was wondering if it was a vegan based nut cheese on the focaccia, before realizing it was the mushrooms. I wasn't the only one that thought the cheese might be a cheese substitute either, it had a slightly off texture for what we were used to. Either way, it's a cool spot and I'm glad we checked it out. It's nice that you can order by the square or a whole thing. I'd probably stick to the squares to try more of the flavors.

Great fresh pasta. We were seated quickly and service was fast. Logs of vegetarian options. Food was tasty!

This focaccia was excellent! I've never been to an Italian market before, let alone a focacceria, so I was excited to say the least. The shop was small with a few tables inside for dine in. We ordered a couple of focaccias, one Simple Red and one Mushroom, along with a Raddichio Caesar. The caesar salad was delicious, it was very crunchy and creamy. Both focaccias were great, however, I enjoyed the Mushroom one more because I really liked how the savory mushrooms balanced out the ricotta and pesto sauce. I think I would've enjoyed the Simple Red more if there was more red sauce on the bread. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I would definitely come back when I crave this kind of pizza.

Yum! We ordered their vegetarian, hot honey, and supreme. My honest favorite was the supreme. It reminds me of Ranch Pizza but healthier. Some of these slices definitely needed ranch because it was on the drier side. The flavor complexity was just great for some of them. I've honestly never had some of these combos before and I'd like to try more in the future! I liked this place a lot, and looking forward to trying new slices. Make sure to bus your own tables!

Interesting pizza options at a seemingly popular location. This was my first time visiting so wasn't sure what to expect, but the ordering process was simple enough. Choose your pizza and you either get it boxed or to eat at the restaurant. Had I had my choice I would have eaten on site, but it was busy and not a single table was open so I chose to go back to my hotel. I thought I had ordered 2 slices one regular pepperoni and one loaded backed potato, but when I got to my hotel I only had the loaded backed potato in my box. I thought my 8 dollar bill was super cheap for two slices, but we must have not heard each other when I placed my order. Either way, I placed my order and gave my name and waited about 4-5 minutes for my pizza to be boxed. It took me about 10 minutes to get back to my hotel. In that time my pizza was not warm at all. It actually felt like it was cold. I guess my confusion was I could see the pizza, I could see the boxes my slice would go into. But there was still a small wait, so I assumed my pizza was being warmed during that time? But I don't think it was. Regardless of that confusion... the pizza was really good. Starch on starch is such an epic combo with sour cream and chives? So delicious. The focaccia the pizza is made on is also so delicious. Overall a solid recommendation.

Have tried a few different focaccia's here and have not been disappointed. The sausage & leek, mushroom, and the pepperoni were all fantastic. Still want to try the olive & herb! Our first time in not long after they opened they had a focaccia on the menu with roasted potato & cheese -it was soooo good, a bit bummed we haven't seen it since. It's a very small location with only a few tables, we've only been able to dine-in once because there hasn't been any seating; so be prepared that you may have to take it to go. Tastes just as good taking it to go! The only let down we've had is with the pre-packaged grab n' go case, last time we were in we grabbed tiramisu. We were looking forward to a sweet treat after dinner, got it home & it just tasted really off (very sour). Couldn't make it past a couple bites, think it may have been past its prime. But the focaccia has been solid every time!

Montello took over the space that was previously Baes chicken. At this location in Sellwood neighborhood, it specializes in focaccia. I ordered 4 types of focaccia. Pepperoni, sausage & peppers, mushroom, and olive & herb. For add-ons you can add burrata [+ $6], ricotta [+ $2], and/or arugula [+ $1] for additional charge. My favorites were mushroom and sausage with peppers. Service is easy. You order first and have ability to see the kitchen to the left. You have the option of getting it heated. On the right side, there is a wall of Italian goods you can purchase. They also sale a few desserts and fresh made pastas. Definitely will come back again.

The staff here are so much friendlier than the flagship NE location. Five stars for them! While I intended to pick up the Salumi sandwich starring mortadella, salami and cheese, all of the focaccia pizza looked so good that I decided to get a square. Wish I could say that it tasted as good as it looked. Maybe I chose wrong. I got the Mama Lila's pepper with goat cheese not realizing they would add so much softenened goat cheese in top, with the consistency of sour cream rather than chunks of goat cheese cooked with the pizza. It was too tangy and completely over powered the pizza. I'll definitely give Montelupos another try and will stick to a classic, the pepperoni. At $8 a square, it's expensive, even for Portland, but one square is all you need. The focaccia has a crust bottom and the inside and top super fluffy. Not Rome style, but still good. Inside is small, they have a few tables that seat about four or five people each. If you go between 12-1:00, it will be a challenge finding a seat. There are also a few smaller tables outside. In addition to focaccia and sandwiches, they sell fresh pasta (bucatini, cavatelli, malfadine), prepared meals (penne a la vodka), their jarred sauces and dry pasta, olives, and cured meats. Surprisingly they have a robust wine collection. Malfadine is one of my favorite pastas so I picked up a pound for $8 to go. Typically fresh pasta takes just 2 minutes to cook for that perfect al dente bite. The malfadine took about 4.5 minutes. Make sure to start checking at the 2 minute mark and recheck every 30 seconds. To get the restaurant quality, take the pasta out before it's done and finish cooking it for the last minute in the sauce with a little pasta water. Dinner came out fab and I'll definitely buy their fresh pasta again. Great addition to this part of town. Love that they are open all day as I don't typically eat lunch at noon so having an option to grab a square of pizza late afternoon works for me.

Focaccia, but hear me out, 5 different options to choose from! This was divine! My wife recommended this place; it's walking distance from where she was staying and it's DELICIOUS! We tried the pepperoni Foccacia and the Italian Herb Foccacia, OMG, so good.

Located in the center of Sellwood/Moreland. A tiny place, sandwiched between PDX Sliders and a credit union. The number one thing you go for - focaccia! Lots of different varieties, but all made on site, and probably the top five in the city. Also a selection of pre-made Italian treats in the refrigerator section, including fresh pasta. Cozy places to seat, and even if full, you can order out and there are lots of places to sit outside in Sellwood. Enjoy.

Attention food lovers! I've just had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into the most divine focaccia pizza that Portland has to offer. At Montelupo Italian Market, Their Mushroom Focaccia Pizza, topped with fresh ricotta and arugula, and lovingly drizzled with olive oil, is a culinary tour de force that sent my taste buds on a joy ride! It's market style service, with a smile. They make the food right in front of you or you can grab one of their grab and go options. Now on to the Pizza! The focaccia was a symphony of textures - light and fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. Each bite was a delightful fusion of earthy mushrooms, stringy salty mozzarella, topped with creamy ricotta, and peppery arugula, all brought together by the luxurious drizzle of olive oil. Alongside this, a couple of tasty drinks were the perfect companions to wash down this scrumptious delight. And the ambiance? As charming as you'd imagine an Italian market to be. The market-style setting, adorned with shelves stocked with Italian goods, and a CLEAN open kitchen added an authentic touch to the dining experience. In short, Montelupo Italian market is a culinary gem that serves up a slice of heaven with its Focaccia Pizzas. It's a gastronomic experience that's worth every single one of its five stars. I can't wait to return and relive this culinary journey. Yo Pepperoni, I'm coming for you next!

Wow 10/10! The Salumi sandwich is really good, the aioli, arugula and meat all come together really well. The fennel sausage focaccia is slightly spicy and very cheesy! There's also seating both inside and outside and they have a chocolate chip focaccia too which was interesting, like a very sweet bread.

Been here a few times now and everything I have got was Devine!! I highly recommend if you're looking for a quick yummy pizza or sandwich There are only a few tables inside and a few outside. I've always just. Taken it to go. Oh did I mention they do large cookies so good. Four stars as I would like to see them open longer.

best service still but all of the sudden .... worst portions in united states!!! i got a salad the size of my fist for 18.00 .... as a nation we need to come together and cancel these greedy owners charging 13,000 % profit for lettuce!!! there isn't even meat on this !!!!! yes the sellwood yuppies will waste their money here but dont eat here please unless you plan a second meal right after ..... you will starve!!!!

This Sellwood location focuses on focaccia. Service is easy counter service. The place is small but there's a few tables to enjoy your food at. The focaccia was good, tad dry, but the toppings help! A nice little market to pick up premade items or snacks. A bit pricey here but worth the once in awhile splurge.

Since we loved Montelupo's other location with pasta, my partner and I figured we'd have to come try their focacceria as well, and we were not disappointed! There's not a ton of seating, so be wary of that if you want to dine in. We just grabbed some focaccia, fresh pasta, and a focaccia sandwich to go so weren't worried about seating. The focaccia slices are HUGE and so fluffy and delicious. I absolutely loved the sandwich too. They're not made to order, so it's great to just grab and go without waiting. I didn't have a bite of the sandwich until we got back to Seattle several hours later, and the sandwich was still amazing. All of the ingredients were layered perfectly, and the ratio of all the ingredients was perfect.

Great option in Sellwood! Stopped in and picked up some goodies for dinner. We made bucatini with guanciale , a delicious sauce, and burrata! You can pick up some focaccia squares and they'll warm it up and call you up when it's ready. The space is small with limited seating. It's great for a casual lunch. I like it as an option for picking up on the way home from work! Great wine selection and lots of fun stuff to check out for your pantry and fridge. Be back soon!

I've been to the restaurant a bunch of times and love it so I was stoked to try the focaccia focused location. Oh my, it's pretty damn good too. Got the simply red with ricotta on top. Decadent and delicious.

Great spot to pick up some quality Italian goods. They have some amazing pastas, including some they must make themselves. Various canned fish. There is very limited seating where you can eat, primarily pizza. We took a slice of focaccia home and it was delisted.

I recently had the privilege of stopping in for lunch on a Thursday at Montelupo Italian Market after hearing about it from my fav source the Female Foodie. The focaccia pizza was phenomenal, crispy chewy, perfectly season focaccia with different pizza toppings. We had the special that had artichoke hearts, spinach and a number of other topping, the sausage and pepper and the olive and herb. All were spectacularly delicious (and the slice is gigantic) but the sausage and pepper was my fav because I love spicy so much. We also ordered the arugula salad but they brought us the radicchio salad and it was so delicious I maybe loved it more than the pizza! The service was quick and friendly and the ambiance is like a little Italian market. Seating was a bit tricky since it was a cold rainy day and there is limited indoor seating. Love this spot!

Taking best advantage of a small, moderny space. The square of focaccia i had--delicious sausage and broccoli rabb) was excellent, every part of it, amazingly light crust, 2 cheeses. M's salumi sandwich thick with three meats and more, very tasty. Excellent service. And their name brand IPA (made by Level) is crisp and refreshing.

I can't say enough good things about this place but I also don't want everyone to know how good it is because it's so special. We tried some focaccia, bought some pantry items and hung out. Service was quick. The ambiance was lovely and I wish I could eat there all the time.

The good news is that Portland has another quality spot for buying a slice of pizza in the middle of the day, now that 4:00 PM seems to be the post-pandemic standard opening time. The maybe not-so-good news is that Montelupo is also a market, so this pizza joint-sized building has shelves full of pasta and sauce, instead of counter space for people to be able to enjoy their slices. There are a few tables at the front of the space, but not nearly enough to accommodate the line of people ordering and waiting for their food to arrive. As for the slices, they are large, filling squares of focaccia. Our experience (4 people sharing 3 slices) was that the bread/crust/focaccia suffered when more toppings were piled on. The 'simple red' was far and away my favorite. For future visits, I'm more likely to try their house brand fresh pasta and jarred sauces, instead of looking for a dine-in experience.

My first time in today and I'm so happy I stopped. I like to check out Italian food markets to see how authentic they are. I am happy to announce that if you have been looking for focaccia/pizza that looks like the kind you saw in Italy? This is the place that has it. A welcome addition in the Moreland/Sellwood neighborhood. Molte bene.

Honestly, REALLLY good pizza. The pizza was light, fluffy, and crispy. Everything u could want in a focaccia! My only complaint would be that it could get a little heavy w the cheesy toppings so make sure to get a drink w it :-) ps the mushroom pizza comes with arugula & ricotta, SO GOOD

I stopped in yesterday while I was taking my baby on a walk and we were starving. I stopped expecting to get a sandwich or a slice of pizza but instead I got their Simple Red Focaccia and got it warmed up. It was absolutely delicious. The spices were perfect and that last touch of olive oil (high quality) was fantastic. I lived in southern Italy for a while and I'm pleasantly surprised by the simplicity and quality of these ingredients. It's a tad crowded and it was pretty awkward to find a place to stand while waiting for my food but overall great experience!

Oh my god. I think I just saw god. This was the best thing I've put in my mouth since my boyfriend broke up with me. My soul felt like it was transcending into enlightenment as I ate this god given gift.

I love this little neighborhood Italian market, reminds me of home. Focaccia sandwiches for the win. I definitely will be back when visiting

I'm a huge fan of the original location so when their Focacceria location opened, I had to try it! First I love the casual vibe and small selection of grab and go items (including pasta) and I really enjoyed the focaccia-style pizza! I also liked that they allow you to order by-the-slice! Definitely will be back!

Such good pizza!! I went for the classic pepperoni and tried the new onion slice that had hot honey. SO good. Definitely recommend. One slice is very filling. They had plenty of wines, pastas, tiramisu, and things for you to try in the market. Next time I come back I'm trying a salad, slice of mushroom pizza, and the tiramisu!

6 stars! Well... we have a new favorite pizza spot now. This really blew our minds and we almost didn't get to try it. Don't fall for when their website says sold out, they still had some pizza left and it made our day. This isn't like anything else, every single ingredient or bite was like heaven. We tried a few different options and all were amazing. We missed out trying the sausage and was not too happy about it. They forgot to include it in our order and they ran out. To give you an idea of how good this place is, they sold out during the day and had to close down for a bit until they could bake more. The line was out the door and we just made it in time. We can't wait to come back for more.

We love Montelupo. The focaccia pizza is excellent, usually stop by once a week pre-sport practice/game with my kiddo to get him 1st dinner (13 yo, 2 sports...he eats do much). He goes ham on those garlic nots and a slice; it is quite delicious. I dig the pepperoni, he tries something new each time. The market is cool. Fun food and treats, we've not gone too deep into that yet. Staff - awesome. Seriously, always super friendly and seem to always in a great mood. Makes you feel welcome.

Love it! I got the pepperoni and the sausage and peppers. Very tasty. The pepperoni was spicy and crunchy exactly the way I like it . The sauce was well balanced and the crust was thick and gooey but with a slight crunch. Yummy. The sausage one was my favorite with pecorino peppers and spinach for a sweeter milder taste. My favorite of the two. We got wine and beer and a lovely tiramisu with some coffee punch. Yumm. Park in the streets nearby. Sit inside or outside. Friendly and casual service. Right on my alley

Cute little place! I got a slice of pizza and a cider, and sat outside. The pizza was really good, a tiny bit salty but the focaccia was crisp and soft at the same time. One piece of pizza really filled me up lol Will definitely be coming back!

Came here to grab food before going to the airport and we were so happy we did!! We were given great customer service from Marissa who helped us make our decisions by giving recommendations. The simple red & the mushroom focaccia were so delicious and I'll be dreaming about this food until I return to Portland again.

I would sell my kidney to get their foccasia recipe. I was worried it wouldn't be fresh as we were there in the evening. Nope. Fresh and soft with crunch edges; just enough salt to make the toppings come together. The people behind the counter were still making it fresh. Service was easy, we did take out as there wasn't much seating inside. Quick and friendly. We had the simple sauce and the potato slices. My college kids said it was one of the best things they've ever eaten. I have a feeling that our college kid has just added a mandatory stop to our next visit.

Wish I had read the reviews before dropping $20+ to take two pieces of focaccia homw that completely missed the mark. I must admit, I was thinking it would be more like what I experienced all across Italy. And even if it wasn't at least it should be great focaccia. Alas, it's not. The bread is greasy and has absolutely no flavor. The toppings are good, but just not worth the price. I suppose if the focaccia was $4 and $4.50 rather than $8 and $9 my expectations would have been more in line and I would be writing at least a 3 star review. Meanwhile, my friend dropped beaucoup bucks on food to take home and treat her honey to a nice dinner. She let me know it was a fail, that the food just wasn't the quality it should have been for the price. Like others before me have said, the staff are super nice. Staff 5 stars Food -1 star

Beautiful market with delicious food! Too many good choices for food, but just pizza. Their tiramisu, take and bake pastas, bottles of wine and various dried pastas. All of it looked too good to choose

I actually really like this place. The food is amazing and they have very high quality products. Unfortunately the staff are either aloof or intentionally incompetent. I have ordered pizza to be picked up multiple times and each time it is 20-30 minutes later than what I was shown. Typically what happens is I come in, and say I am here for my order. They say it will be 5 or so minutes which is reasonable. Then after about 20 minutes the staff comes up and say the kitchen didn't hear that I was ready. I don't understand how that could happen if I placed my order ahead of time; I would assume the kitchen would see my order and be somewhat prepared. This last time was honestly pretty infuriating because I heard the front of house staff say I was here and I noticed they made eye contact. I seriously would not have made this review if it wasn't the third time this has happened. Food: 5 Staff: 2

Meh. I ordered a prosciutto sandwich because the sign said "piled high" but the sandwich was just tough focaccia bread and two thin slices of prosciutto and a little greens and soft cheese.. wasn't bad, but also not a $14 "piled high" sandwich. My daughter got a slice of focaccia pizza.. the "simple red" and it was much easier to eat. It wasn't as tough being warmed up. The only negative to the pizza was the amount of salt.... It was very salty and she ended up picking off the large flakes of salt in order to eat it. Likely won't return because the value isn't there.

Delicious focaccia with many choice toppings... did I say it's delicious . Also a fair amount of Italian products are available to purchase.

Excellent friendly service, the focaccia and tiramisu are crave worthy. Definitely coming back!

Really disappointing! I was hoping for so much more. Food wasn't flavorful and the wine selection was extremely overpriced. I'm all for supporting local small business, but this one is a hard pass.

Don't dare come here an 1 to 45 mins for they close. And don't ask if their making any more witha line to the door and maybe... maybe 10 slices left.
