Wild Child Pizza NE

The crust on their Sicilian style pizza is so delicious, buttery, and aromatic that you won't really care what's on top of it. I did try the veggie, pepperoni, and the bacon pizza and they were really great. This location is a walk-up window and not a full sit down restuarant, although there are benches to sit on outside. Bundle up and enjoy your pizza or take your pizza and walk it two doors down to Function Brewing for a beer.

We’ve ordered Wild Child in the past but took a little break when we had a couple of pizzas back to back that were overcooked. Took a chance and ordered a pizza tonight and it was seriously one of the best we’ve eaten…maybe ever. Really, it was that good. The crust was crispy but not mouth destroying; cheese was bubbly not crusty; flavors were perfect. Chef’s kiss to whoever was doing the pizza making tonight!

The cheese pizza is really good- has a crispy cheesy crust and soft dough inside . The dollop of marinara on top is also a nice touch. But what’s with the handwritten “do not knock on glass!” sign at the pickup window? lol seems a bit extra and dramatic.

Great Detroit-style pizza. The place itself is made for more of an order and takeout situation. I was warned there would a bit of a wait from friends and they were right. But it was worth it! One of the best slices I have had since moving here. Perfectly crisped dough.

A cool place to try some Detroit style pizza. We ordered a slice of the pepperoni and Supreme. The slices are of pretty good size and will range between $6.75 - $7.50 a slice. Once you have ordered the slice, they will re-heat it and add some marinara sauce to it, which gives it the extra flavor. Out of the two, the supreme was my winner. The Sriracha ranch is a great dip to order on the side. Just be aware that there is no seating inside, and it's more of a take out spot. They have a counter along the edge where you can eat off from.

I love the Harissa pizza! One day, I have to try a combo of them all. You can also order via Uber Eats for pickup. The place does not have seating as in tables, but they do have benches. It's not heated, but it is covered from rain while you wait. The best part is that you can see them make the pizza as the window is right there. Really cool 😎 My son still prefers Chicago across the street, but I like this place better as they are great for a quick bite.

We had their pizza for the first time, and we definitely came away happy. Nice deep dish pizza, the crust was super soft, and the sauce was flavorful. I like how they cooked the pies, not that floppy type, nice, firm, meaty pizza. We will be back.

Meat pizza ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - love the sauce - really good as a leftover Okonomiyaki ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ - more interesting flavor - loved the tater tots - wasn't just a gimmick was actually good - wasn't a fan of the smell initially but loved the taste! Harissa ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - was more savory than I was expecting! Loved it though - some of the kale was a bit hard to chew but it was only a couple pieces - loved this with crushed red pepper flakes - not great as a leftover though, I think the kale doesn't age well Supreme pizza ⭐⭐⭐✨ - usually a fan of these, but it's potentially not super good here because there isn't enough sauce. - because there's so many toppings it comes out dry ❤️Cheese ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - this sounds so basic but surprisingly it's so good - you need to order extra sauce though - it's basically a giant cheese stick but somehow better ❤️Pesto chicken bacon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - so so so good - almost smokey and creamy at the same time? - new unexpected favorite Pepperoni ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - what you'd expect --- Brownies ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - big!!! - pretty solid brownie! --- Notes: - no seating, just a window to order from - Detroit style - sour dough crust - sauce on top - thicker - 8 slices per pie

Pretty solid Detroit style pizza, tho not my favorite. The crust and sauce and quality toppings were pretty fine, tho I wish they had some more creative options; they're got the standard pepperoni/cheese/supreme, then a harissa one and a rotating special. We went w/ a half&half of supreme and harissa for about $35. It was a filling pizza for two w/ a couple breakfast slices left over, tho I'm used to feeding 3 ppl at that price point (w/ the leftover slices as well of course.) So all in all I'd say decent but I prefer Ranch or Via Chicago right down the street.

Portland has so many good pizza options we took to the streets to try places that were not our usual. What We Had: - Half/Half Maui Wowie & Pesto Chicken Ranch - Breadsticks Pros: - Detroit pizza is a great pizza brand - Employee was helpful in helping us pick - Pizza had a good chew to it - Good toppings - Extra breadsticks! Cons: - Take out only - Pizza seemed heavier than it needed to be (less airy) Overall: I would say on its own it's a good pizza. The Maui wowie has some heat to it. A bit more than I like but nothing to ding there. I think it was just fine given the other options. If I were on Alberta and wanted a slice this would be a good spot. I'll stay with my usuals for now and continue exploring.

Slices are ginormous! Which helps with the price per slice. If you love Detroit style pizza, this is your place. Doughy, thick, and nicely crisped edges. Considering the slices are on the pricey side, I would venture out and try something other than a classic cheese or pepperoni.

Overall a very good Detroit style pizza that if you are looking for something a little different then this is a a must try. We Uber eats this place for our New Year's Eve dinner. A little different style with the sauce being the last thing placed on the pizza. The pizza dough definitely had some garlic butter vibes to it that I was not disappointed in. The pizza was very tasty. A little pricy but two pizza fed four people and a baby and we still had some left overs. This pizza is definitely a little heavier then most wood fired pizza. Overall would definitely try again.

Yummy pizza. I've tried many flavor combos. I think their best is just basic cheese or pepperoni. I was not a fan of the bbq chicken or the maui zowie. The bbq sauce is too sweet and the sausage is too bland. The cheese baked into the crust is so yummy tho. I would get the pepperoni anytime I was craving pizza and couldn't get to McMinnville.

I am extremely disappointed with myself that I did not write a review for this place sooner. First off, Portland has some very excellent places to choose from for Detroit style pizza...and I would put Wild Child against any of them. Ok, their basic pepperoni is, of course, a favorite. It's just solid. The first time I got one of these babies, I won't lie, I was disappointed by the size of the pizza as I initially thought it looked small. However, each piece is so dense and so delicious! You'll be full after 1 or 2 slices. 2nd win. Their entire menu is good but watch for their specials. They can get pretty creative and pretty crazy! Take advantage of their 50/50 pizzas so you can try a couple different flavors at once! Their Supreme is good, their Harissa is good, and their Maui Wowie is one of my faves especially if you like some kick to your za! Lastly. Why the 5th star? I reserve 5 stars for the best and that includes customer service. Me and a friend ordered a pizza for delivery with some garlic bread sticks. Mistakes happen and we didn't get the sticks. We gave them a call and were just going to ask for a refund on the sticks. Instead, they apologized profusely and offered to deliver the sticks to us. We didn't need them and politely refused at which point they refunded our ENTIRE order. These folks are great and they got a lifetime customer out of me. They're always so nice and friendly and their pizza is GOOD. Give this place a try if you haven't yet!

It's really really good if you like thick pizza & they have delicious side sauces too. Detroit-style is my new fave style I think. I liked the more traditional veggie pie over the Harissa one, it was a little too sweet for my pizza preference.

With WIld Child Pizza, you don't need Pizza Week! You can have delicious pizza here each and every week. I really love "the Harissa" it is an amazing combination of flavors, and there isn't any PIzza Creation like that in Portland, that I've found. It has butternut squash, rose harissa, kale, leeks and mozzarella. I have been a vegetarian since June 2001, and it is one of my pet peeves, when the vegetarian option is "Vegetarian pizza" with olives, tomatoes, green bell peppers etc. But, I opt for different ingredients and flavors, and this one is so good! My ultimate secret- favorite part of the ensemble is the crust! The outside, corner pieces have this cheese baked onto the crust. It is so satisfying! And again, I haven't found anything else similar to this in Portland, and it is "Detroit Style" pizza, so plan on eating with a fork and knife on a plate! It is still manageable with your bare hands though! All of the times I have been there, I have ordered online first for whole pizzas, and it has worked really well. I just walk up to the window and it is ready for me. And, all their staff are. really friendly and nice. I was born in the early '80's so I like their design and ambiance. It is a fun reminder of the good ol' days! But, as far as sitting in a parlour space, this is not really the place for you. It is located in a prime area of Alberta, and they do have a hallway/sitting area but no tables with pitchers and video games. But, the pizza take-away brings those memories to life! Definitely check this place out!

The pizza is way below average for the growing Portland pizza community. It's all deep dish and taste is very reminiscent of Pizza Hut with a super buttery crust. There is also no place to sit as sits a pizza window. The staff is also not the most friendly. The place is super over hyped!

Great, quick service! Delicious pizza. My kids loved it! We would definitely come back.

This is what I love about oregon, pizza everywhere. So this place is not too far away from my dad's house so I decided to come in here for a slice. So the crust was probably my favorite part, everything else was pretty good. The toppings slid right off, but that is because it just got out of the oven and I'm a pretty impatient person when it comes to Pizza lol. Anyways I recommend just ordering a whole pizza LOL.

Wonderful addition to the Portland pizza scene. Detroit-style pies loaded with toppings on NE Alberta. We went with a couple of the basics: the pepperoni and the cheese. Both were packed with mozzarella, sprinkled with parmesan, and topped with Wild Child's tasty and slightly spicy marinara. Since the scoop of marinara is plopped on top of the cheese, one in our group spread it around their slice with a knife. However you choose to eat it, the pies had hefty amounts of toppings and delightfully chewy crusts -- fried golden brown on the bottom, nicely blackened on the edges where the overflow of cheese hit the sides of the pan. What we were most impressed with was the dough, a 72-hour fermented sourdough that approaches in taste a wedge of well-made focaccia. Delicious. Really impressive platform for the cheese and sauce. What more can you ask for? Great service. We'll be back.

We are new to the area and this place was suggested by quite a few people. So we tried it... Pros: Pizza was flavorful and crust was nice and crispy. The toppings were very fresh and the ricotta was good. Cons: Unaware that a medium pizza here is 4 slices. The garlic sticks were just average and underwhelming. Honestly think this place may have just been a viral thing because for the price and average pizza, I wouldn't come back.

Wild Style! Wild child is a solid pizza joint that does detroit style. Honestly, it's a good and delicious pizza that provides solid nutrition in rectangular shapes. Furthermore, the peach one that is the august special was a wonderful flavored pizza. I also got the pepperoni which had plenty of meat for your protein needs. A huge downside to this location is that there isn't much seating and there are not tables. So this is one of those take out spots. It's not bad, but sometimes you just want a fresh pizza to share with friends. Overall, solid pizza.

One of the newest pizza shops in town and it did not disappoint! If you're craving a thick crust or detroit style pizza spot then you have to check out Wild Child on Alberta. Right across from Salt & Straw you can easily make a trip both for food & dessert. You won't be able to miss it with their colorful building design & artwork. We were looking to call ahead but the message directed us to just ordering on their website. We ordered and within 20 mins we had our pie ready to go. We ended up just doing a classic pepperoni to see if we liked it but the harissa was also calling our name. I loved that they serve slices. Slices will run you ~$7+ but it's basically two slices in a box/quarter of the box. A They are not a sit down place in the standard way you would think. But they do have benches lining their designed wall so you can easily grab and enjoy. Does make it challenging on a cold day so be prepared when you come. Staff here was friendly as well. As for the pizza it was suuuuper cheesy. We took it to go and heated it up a bit in the oven for optimal crunch and when we did the cheese was oozing off! They're also pretty generous with toppings. We accidentally ordered extra pepperoni on ours so made it slightly too salty but it was a nice balance with their harissa pizza that had a kick and not your standard flavor.

I don't ever look for Detroit-style pizzas, they find me ;) We ordered to-go via online and requested a specific pick-up time which was respected promptly. As we walked up, our 2 pizzas were being packaged and waiting for us in the warmer. We ordered a Supreme and BBQ Chicken and equally good. I preferred the BBQ Chicken but both tasty and liked that crispiness on the crust and the oozy, cheesy goodness. I think I'm about to start a quest for more Detroit-style pizzas in PDX.

This pizza was surprisingly amazing. I ordered half Hawaiian and bbq chicken. I couldn't decide which half I enjoyed more. The crust is so delicious with crispy cheese cooked into the crust. I will definitely be ordering this the next time I am in the area. Want to try all the different pizza combinations!

This is a window walk up pizza spot for take out or delivery. No dine in. They sell pizza by the thick square slice and 4 slices make up a 10x14 rectangular whole pie. Each slice is $7.50 (exception being cheese which is $7) and whole pies range from $23 (Cheese) to $32 (Supreme). Note: Photos show 8 slices for a whole which contradicts what the guy at the window told me when I asked him about buying a whole pizza and how many slices come with it. But I was told it was 4 slices make a whole. The dough is a wonderful thick chewy sourdough base and the toppings range from your basic Pepperoni or Cheese to Maui Wowie which is a spicier spin on a Hawaiian with Jamaican jerk pineapple, bacon and jalapeños and the Harissa, with butternut squash, harissa, kale, and leeks. It has great flavor and and spice and I can see why there are so many reviews raving about it. I came right before they closed at 9pm and I hope that explains why my pizza was cold. I think they re-warmed it up before they gave it to me, it was hot on the outside and cold when I bit into it. Disappointing, because texture is compromised with reheating and made for softer rubbery bites that contrasted with the cold spots. I'm sure if you order a fresh pizza you wouldn't have to worry, but it's worth noting if you opt for their pizza by the slice, it may be reheated and therefore quality is compromised. Overall, despite those complaints, I still think the flavor and texture (as long as you get a fresh pizza) would be worth trying.

Had the Maui wowi pizza and it lives up to the name! I normally don't like square pizza but this was damn good. I'd definitely come back here next time I visit Portland

Is it delicious? Yes. Is it filling? Absolutely. Will you be glad you got it? 100% yes. Is it worth the price? Depends on what you order.... It's expensive. But it's also very filling. It might be best to try out the individual slices if you aren't sure.

Decent but I found the pepperoni pizza to be super salty. Breadsticks were also pretty over-baked. Glad I tried it but hard to stand out in a very competitive pizza city.

Meh .... Pizza was okay. I did not care for the sauce because it was really sweet yet there's some spicy kick to it too. It wasn't too cheesy and the crust wasn't memorable either. I'm a fan of Detroit style pizza but I won't be returning here.

Well at $7 per slice maybe I just expected more. Main flavor profile of my pepperoni slice was sodium. The sauce is meh and the parmesan "cheese" the smothered it in looked and tasted like it came from that classic green container in the back of mom's fridge. Can't see myself going back unless I have a 50% off coupon.

Tiny pizzeria in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. Staff is always friendly and prompt with your order. There isn't any indoor of outdoor seating, this is more of a walk up and grab a slice or take a pizza home type of deal. The shop is full of windows, so you can see everyone hard at work. The pizza is very thick and they don't skimp on the cheese or toppings, this will hit the spot if you have a craving!

It's a pretty solid place to try some Detroit style pizza. We ordered a slice of the pepperoni and Supreme. The spices are of pretty good size and will range between $6.75 - $7.50 a slice. Once you have ordered the slice, they will re-heat it and add some marinara sauce to it, which gives it the extra flavor. Out of the two, the supreme was my winner. The Sriracha ranch is a great dip to order on the side. Just be aware that there is no seating inside, and it's more of a take out spot. They have a counter along the edge where you can eat off from.

Took me way too many months to finally come here, and the pizza was as great as I'd imagined. I came back the next weekend and got a different pie and it was also delicious.

Really tasty Detroit style pizza in Portland, OR. The pizza is a tad spicy but other than that it has a great taste and the crust is really good. One of the better Detroit style pizzas I've had in my life. Definitely would get again when in the area.

Stopped in for Pizza Week. The special was delicious. We wish they had tables to sit and enjoy.

Did you love Little Caesar's in the 90s? This place is your wet dream. Detroit it style pizza done better than you deserve. Place is great. The only thing missing to make my childhood pizza experience is one of those Simon says type memory games in the lobby. Eat this soon

The pizza dough was underdone and not crispy. Also, the tomato sauce was dolloped on each piece. It was way too much and spoiled the slice by making it super wet.

The pizza is good. The viral tiktok brought us here, but the place isn't as big as it seems on the videos. It's quiet and calm though. Maybe it needs music and more arcade games.

Aside from having some of the best pizza, the staff are INCREDIBLE. I lost my phone, an employee found it, saw my ID and chased me down on the street to return it to me. I came back to buy a slice of pizza as a thanks and they gave me one for free.

Food is decent. The crust is delightful but the sauce is a bit sweet and someone has just dumped garlic into it. It comes across a little harsh as a result. UPDATED 4/26/2023 I have ordered several more times since my initial review (my kids love the soft, chewy crust). Either my reaction to the taste has changed or I've gotten more used to it but I have enjoyed things more and more. Bumping my star level up from 3 to 4.

Tasty Detroit style pizza. Love they offer slices. Got the cheese slice and really liked the sauce on top.

First time here, service was a solid 3, wasn't expecting any better a food window TBH. Ambiance was kind of nice, seats to sit and enjoy your slices if you dare, music may have been too loud but I'm old so..‍... As for the actual pizza..... had a cheese slice which is what I get everywhere. This one was the most bland, unseasoned, flavorless slice of cheese I've ever eaten. I don't throw pizza away, but I was tempted to. The cheese was hot and plentiful, but, really tastes like they just use a low quality random mozzarella. The marinara was slightly less sweet than ketchup and didn't have a pinch of flavor. I'll give a .25 for service, 1 for ambiance, and A solid .50 for the food. This pizza is a dub. Reading the reviews of it is so confusing, you'd actually think the pizza has flavor, it doesn't, this is an honest review, find pizza elsewhere, or risk it.

First and last time getting this pizza, Pizza was not good. We got a 1/2 cheese 1/3 pepperoni. Cheese was hard and chewy.

Stumbled upon this place as we visited Alberta Arts District. Saw quite a few people ordering so we decided to give it a try. We ordered one slice of pepperoni to share and were so impressed with the size, how fresh, hot, and tasty it was. Amazing slice of Detroit style pizza and the sriracha ranch complimented it very well. Thanks for the wonderful food and great customer service! Will definitely be back again!!!

I had a quick slice of pepperoni, with hot honey. I thought that it would be a social media darling gimmick (since it's owned by the Portland Clothing crew), but I actually really enjoyed the pizza quality. I'll definitely be back for a slice again another day (I work nearby).

I'm always a sucker for Detroit Style Pizza so Wild Child has been on my to do list since it opened. I placed an order to do to be picked up in 2 hours and it was ready to go a few minutes before the designated time. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the supreme pizza and was very impressed overall. The marinara had a subtle spiciness that complemented the sausage perfectly. The dough was the standout that put this pizza at the level of other top notch Detroit Styles in the area.

I was so excited to try this place. I ordered the Maui Wowie. It was good, but the problem is I felt like I was just eating a giant cheese bread stick. There was barely any toppings and there was a glob of sauce on top of each slice, which is fine and all, but only the middle section had sauce so the rest was cheese breadstick. Disappointed, but the bread does taste good so maybe I will try a different flavor before I never come back again.

Located in the lively Alberta Arts district, Wild Child Pizza is now one of my favorite Detroit sourdough inspired Pizza in Portland! The crust is amazing because it is both crispy and chewy. The toppings are outstanding. I love their crispy Pepperoni! The sauce is spectacular and I love how they put some sauce on the top of your Pizza. The dipping sauces are also outstanding, my favorite being the sriracha ranch. My favorite pizza choices here are the Pepperoni, the Meat Pizza and the Harissa pizza. The owners, managers and staff are very friendly! We attended the recent grand opening where they gave out free slices. It was an amazing and fun experience! I definitely recommend this absolutely delicious pizza place. You will not be disappointed, especially if you love Detroit style rectangular pizzas with exceptional flavors!

This place is so popular that people arrive before the open. Detroit style pizza is the new go to for Portland.

The pizza here is really good! I do wish they had a few more different kinds. When I was there they only had 6 options. The pepperoni was very good though.

Love this Chicago style pizza! The pizza dough is super yummy. I am not a fan of lots of sauce so this is perfect for me.

On some days this is is some amazing pizza. On some days it's no better then ordering Pizza Hut deep dish. Let's hope they get more consistant with their quality. For the price you'd expect better. Hoping they iron it out !

We ordered online and picked up at the window. Very convenient. The pizza is great! Detroit style, more cheese than Pop or Ranch, so there's an amazing crispy cheese crust around the edge. We got Veggie and Supreme, both classic styles that were very tasty. I'm looking forward to trying other kinds. Looks like they have some available by slice than you cannot order online or as a whole pizza, so I'll have to stop by the window sometime to try. All in all, very glad to have this place on Alberta!

We thought we would try this place! When we order online through DoorDash it wasn't clear the size of the pizza or what type of crust but we took the plunge and ordered anyway. The pizza was very good. The size was about a medium and it came in a rectangle size not round and was cut into squares. We loved the topping and the pizza sauce. The crust was thick and airy but crispy on the bottom. The best thing we loved is they put a little doll up of sauce on top of each slices. I thought what a great idea! . I would recommend this place if you like thick thick crust style pizza. We probably won't order again as we like thinner crust but if thick crust is your thing you might want to try this place out!

Very tasty, good dough, cooked well, and appropriate amount of toppings. Overpriced for what it is, but that's normal for portland these days. It would be nice if there was an area to sit and eat.

Before I even tried the pizza I was treated with unexpected kindness. Then I tried the pie and I can't wait to go back. Awesome pizza and even better people!!!
