Detroit-style sourdough pies with creative toppings and dipping sauces
"The people over at Wild Child in the Alberta district are Detroit-style pizza masters who are mixing things up. The sourdough crust is leavened for longer than usual—a full 72 hours—which ups its natural tanginess, and the real-deal Wisconsin brick cheese that caramelizes better than mozzarella is strategically placed directly on the dough with marinara slathered on top. Yes, there’s pepperoni and supreme on the menu, but the more outre pizzas like the one with roasted butternut squash and melted leeks, plus rose harissa, is the dreamy meat-free combo you’ll be thinking about for days. Get the medium to eat yourself or gather a group and order a pesto chicken, with crumbled bacon and squiggles of ranch. It's delicious blasphemy to Italian and Detroit traditions." - krista garcia

"The crust at Wild Child is soft yet crispy; it's so tasty and probably Portland’s best take on Detroit pizza." - Eater Staff

"Rectangular pizza with 72-hour aged sourdough crust emerge from the takeout window of Wild Child Pizza’s Alberta Street location, accompanied by a bright orange swirling mural by Sebo Walker in the alley next door. Thick pies arrive topped with meaty toppings like barbecue chicken, sausage, and pepperoni, as well as a variety of a variety of veggies. Maui Wowie, a Wild Child take on Hawaiian pizza, is a well-balanced mix of bacon, roasted pineapple, and pickled jalapenos. Wild Child’s massive chocolate fudge brownies provide a sweet counterpoint to their savory offerings. The Northwest 23rd Street spot includes limited indoor and outdoor seating as well as a wide selection of slices." - Rachel Pinsky
