Yum's of PDX

I don’t always take the time to write reviews online, but I feel compelled to share how amazing everything at Yum’s of PDX is! The pizza is hands down one of the best in the city, and the service is impeccable to match. Each pizza has such a wonderful combination of toppings and flavors, and the dough is absolutely phenomenal - perfectly chewy and yet also light and so flavorful. Besides the pizza, everything else on the menu is spectacular as well. We had a special appetizer with burrata and asparagus, and it might legitimately be the best asparagus I’ve ever eaten. Not to mention the Caesar salad, which even my 6 year old had three portions of it was so good! We’ll be back often to enjoy dinners at Yum’s, and can’t wait to see all the new things that Miriam cooks up!

My wife and I came in for dinner to celebrate our one-year anniversary, and this was our very first time dining here. From start to finish, the experience was incredible the staff was so welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. It made our special night even more memorable. We’d also love to know more about the story behind the restaurant it feels like there’s a lot of heart and history here. Thanks Max our server and the rest of the Yum’s of PDX staff.

Another decent pizza spot to add to the growing list of good options in Portland. Nice clean modern industrial ambience. Food came out a little slow but might be the fact that they are still new. The service though was friendly and attentive at the bar. Pies were amazing. Perfect chewy crusts and flavorful, creative and fresh toppings. I would say comparable to Grana/turning peel for Neapolitan style pizzas. They also have fresh piped cannolis which we loved. Will have to try the black-and-white cookies next time.

Went in on a Friday night and was seated right away. Everyone was friendly from the host - to the server- to the owner. There were three of us, and we ordered the burrata special, the pizza special, a white sauce pizza and dessert- it was just the right amount of food with leftovers to take home. (Save room for dessert is a must!) The portions are good and the taste even better. Everything felt fresh, well seasoned, and cooked. I loved the bubbly crust and enjoyed the mixture of unique toppings and ingredients for each dish. I also enjoyed learning about how Yum of PDX pizza came to be by the owner, Miriam. The special touches on everything made our experience amazing and a standout amongst all the other pizza places in town. 10/10 recommending to friends this new pizza joint in town.

Yum's is so yummy!!! The chef's passion for food shines through in every dish, and the hospitality is top-notch. Every bite was phenomenal, with flavors that popped and ingredients that were incredibly fresh. Love tasting the woodfire flavor in each bite, the best pizza ever!! Can't wait to come back and experience it all again!

NEW CONTENDER ON THE BLOCK I heard about a new pizza spot that recently opened up and definitely had to come give it a try. I made a reservation a few days in advance for a casual dinner with friends. This place is located on the east side of Portland in a very unassuming location. Upon walking in we were greeted by very welcoming staff into a warm, cozy, family friendly space. The service itself is quick, however, food certainly did take time to arrive. It took about 30 minutes for us to get our pizza. The pizza itself was excellent. It is very clear that they use extremely high quality and fresh ingredients. It is very light on the stomach. The crust was fantastic. Extremely flakey and soft. However, the undercarriage was certainly on the more thin side. The pizza itself is also on the floppier side. The flavor while great may be lacking in some ways. I personally think it could use some salt or chili flakes kind of like a Ken’s Artisan Pizza provides to enhance the already present taste. Fair warning, the vodka sauce does have alcohol in it. However, they are very accommodating and will substitute it for another sauce on their sauce flight. The pricing is also slightly on the higher side, especially when comparing to Ken’s Artisan Pizza. The portion sizes however, are adequate. Overall, I certainly would recommend this place to anyone. I think it is a must try pizza spot in Portland.

Sicilian only available on Sundays and sold out almost immediately. Meatballs for mom ⭐⭐⭐✨ - was told this was amazing so it might be an off day - I adored the sauce - I loved the fresh basil - couldn't get over how hard the meat ball was 3 sauces ⭐⭐⭐ - only really like the ranch - the others I don't care tremendously about Jersey girl ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - got this Sicilian style - liked the pepperoni bc it was crispy - the basil was super fresh - the crusts were so perfectly crispy ❤️A lil pistachio squeeze⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - it was perfect - the mushrooms were perfectly roasted - the pistachios are part of the pesto sauce Half moon cookie ⭐ - this was too sweet for me, I wouldn't reorder it - it's a bit expensive at 12 dollars for a cookie that tastes super similar to a grocery store cookie

A New Favorite in Portland! 10/10 Experience We just visited Yums of PDX last Friday with friends, and wow—what a gem of a restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We ordered the "Fuggedaboutit" New York-style pizza, and honestly, it was the best pizza I’ve ever had. Perfectly thin, crispy, flavorful—it tasted like it came straight out of Brooklyn. We also tried the "Jersey Girl" pizza, and it was equally phenomenal. Every bite was a burst of flavor. The cocktails were delicious and perfectly balanced—we tried a couple and loved them all. For dessert, we couldn’t resist sampling everything: the Neapolitan ice cream, the cannolis, and the panna cotta. Each one was spot-on, with just the right amount of sweetness and richness. A special shout out to Miriam, the chef and pizzaiola, who came by our table to chat. She was so kind and gracious, sharing a bit about her background and love of pizza. It made the whole experience feel extra special. Our waitress was also fantastic—attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. We had a lovely evening and truly can’t wait to come back and try the NY Sicilian pizza and the spumoni next time. Yums of PDX is a true standout in Portland’s food scene. Highly, highly recommend. 10 out of 10!

Our waiter was a sweet attentive guy who helped us with choices and it was fun to see the workings of the kitchen from our table. We said Hi to the perky Miriam, the chef/owner. Casual and comfortable atmosphere. Everything was delicious. We were 3 ladies having the speciality berry cocktail (fabulous) and shared a loaded Jersey Girl with 1/3 procuitto (since we had 2 vegetarians)-they accommodated us for that request. We had the heavenly burrata salad with fruit-recommeded! and a Cesar salad. All were shared and we loved the trio of gelato and canolli for dessert.

Excellent service, wonderful pizza with interesting topping options, welcoming and comfy place. Sicilian gluten-free available (ask early, limited amount)

This place has potential to be a top front runner in Portland's epic pizza battle! Service was excellent, from the hostess to the server to the chefs that come walk your food out to your table! The owner actually dropped off our meatballs, it was incredibly cool. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a lot of options for indoor seating. There is a parking lot, it's paid, but available if you can't find street parking. We tried the meatballs, Belle Margherita, A Lil' Pistachio Squeeze, and Rainbow Cookie Cannoli. I would recommend all of these, and can't wait to come back to try some other items! Pro tip: make reservations online!

Was looking forward to trying out this place given all the buzz it has gotten but our experience here fell short. My husband and I are big pizza lovers so we decided what better way than to celebrate our anniversary here. I made reservations ahead of time since we were bringing our kiddo but when we arrived we were told that somehow they double booked and the table they had for us was a high top which couldn't accommodate a high chair. The hostess said that we could come back another time or squeeze into a 2 person table. We obviously chose the latter due to the fact that we already drove here to eat dinner. Skip the Caesar salad. Complete waste of $16. It was basically the bare minimum. The pieces of the lettuce were inconsistently cut, some fairly large pieces which were hard to eat. As for pizzas, we ordered the ricotta be kiddin' me and the lil' pistachio squeeze. After waiting an hour for them to come out (we were informed that there was only 1 person working the kitchen tonight) - we thought it was going be worth the wait but they were just cold and floppy. Not sure if they just got left out for a while or what. Even the table next to us had to switch over to using a knife and fork to eat because the topping were sliding right off when picking it up leaving them with a sad looking piece of bread with sauce. Overall, it was unfortunate that the food did not live up to the hype and we were just not that impressed with Yum's.

Man, I was so excited about trying this place. Especially because so many of my foodie friends recommended it, but it was such a disappointment when I went in today. First, the bartender/server told me that ALL the apps were sold out, and they ONLY had pizzas and desserts so I didn't get to try any apps. I ordered the truffle pizza and the Jersey girl. I noticed a plate with peaches and what looked like burrata, go out so I went to the same server and asked what that plate was of everything was sold out and he said the had that appetizer dish...so we ordered that, and after receiving it, I would've been ok without it. It was so underwhelming and overpriced for just under-ripened peaches slices and some burrata and mint, there was just nothing exciting and not much flavor. The Jersey girl pizza came out first and it was ok. We were sitting at the bar, so I just watched my truffle pizza sit on the counter for about 10 min, as some guy in the kitchen just stood around for 5 min, waiting for directions or something. Until he finally got some prosciutto to put on the pizza. The owner/chef came by and helped him rearrange the prosciutto and then I finally got my pizza...cold, sloppy, and the dough was chewy but seemed undercooked. I got my pizza so late, my boyfriend was already done with his (he only ate two slices before he was over it) by the time I started on mine. I liked the flavor combinations of my pizza, and the dips (especially the orange one), but it didn't blow me away. I personally don't think this pizza place is a top contender in Portland compared to some great pizza spots here. I might have just gone there on an off day (I hope), but it was overall underwhelming, and disappointing. $80 for two pizzas and a meh appetizer. Kind of ruined my evening.

I know there's a lot of delicious pizza in Portland, but wow, Yum's has to be among the best. We got there early so were able to order one of the Sicilians, and it was amazing. Fluffy, focaccia-like crust with a lovely crispness at the edges. The topping were enough to coordinate with the crust without overpowering it. Truly excellent. We also ordered a daily special salad that included summer squash and cherries, among other ingredients; the cannoli; and a couple of cocktails. Everything was incredibly tasty. Heck, I would have been happy with the bread and EVOO we were served before the meal. The ambience was nice--bright and modern and not stuffy. And the service was friendly and knowledgeable, attentive without hovering. I can't wait to go back.

Good service and delicious pizza. I'm not a pizza lover but this is legit. What more could you ask for.

Wow, one of the best meals I've had in Portland, and it's not just the pizza! The cannolis were so tasty, crunchy. Great service. I gotta say, the mozzarella on the margherita was top notch. What a treat. If you like pizza, this place is a MUST. Loved the music too.

WOW! If I had to choose my favorite food group, it would be pizza. I've tried most of the well known spots in town and Yum's of pdx is hands down the best. The crust is absolutely phenomenal, and you can tell the quality of the ingredients. They give complimentary bread, and have daily specials. We tried the strawberry burrata and it was phenomenal. For pizzas we had the jersey girl, the burrata, and the cherry. All were amazing but the jersey girl was something special. You NEED to check this place out!

Had such high hopes, given all the buzz. Have lived in many of the places that Chef Miriam has in her pizza-making journey (Clinton Hill, Park Slope, etc. but not Dayton, tho). Tonight's service was surprising and disappointing. After asking the waiter his favorite of the night, I ordered that one. When the pizza came after a long wait (he had told us upon arrival that there was only one person in the kitchen tonight, so we understood this part), it was the wrong one. I asked him about it and figured he'd say something like: 1. So sorry, let me take that away and we'll squeeze you in at the front of the line in the busy kitchen to get you the right thing, but that'll still take XX minutes. Would that be ok? 2. Or wow, that's the exact opposite of what you ordered. If you'd like to just eat this one, we'll comp it. What's your preference? Instead, he asked me to solve it and asked what I'd like to do. To keep it simple, an not make him feel bad about his mistake, I asked him to just give me a deal on the $26 pizza because we couldn't wait longer. Instead of saying sure, he said he'd have to ask permission. As we were about to leave he came back and despite noticing I'd eaten one slice said that the chef could offer me a dessert. It's something I can't eat so I said no thanks, and that that was the end of it. He didn't have a comment either way. The people in my group thought it odd that a place would bring the wrong order to the table, ask me to come up with a solution, then disagree with that solution and offer something that didn't work and upon hearing that didn't care. I get that a place can have growing pains or new staff or an off night. Any one or more of those might have been true tonight. That said, we can agree that basic service is to make things right when things go wrong. That was not true tonight and we can't recommend this place to friends. For those who do go, a quick pro tip: Menu says to order one pizza per person, so we did. But they are nice and substantial in size, with those around us each eating half or less of theirs and asking for take home boxes. Two adults can easily share one unless you want some to take home.

Absolutely loved it. We got the Barada for an appetizer and had two different pizzas. There were three of us. I'm hankering for more and just wish they had a delivery service or was on Uber eats or something. Can't wait to go back again soon.

Delicious pizza & great, attentive staff! So glad to have this new addition in the neighborhood!

Amazing wood fired pizza, amazing foccacia bread and amazing staff. Felt like I was at home during the holidays with family all around!

We made our second trip into Yum's this evening and now I can confidently say that in addition to being incredibly delicious Yum's also possesses that most vital of attributes for any truly amazing restaurant, consistency. The space is welcoming and comfortable and has just the right acoustics to cultivate a pleasant buzz without needing to shout to communicate with table mates. All of the staff are knowledgable, attentive and helpful without ever being overbearing. The menu offers a very nice selection without being overly complex or sprawling and I've yet to see a dish come out of the kitchen that isn't visually on point. Similarly, the bar program is impressive (in a city where saying that really means something) and all of the selections we've tried truly complementer the cuisine. Which of course brings us to the food. Miriam, you and your staff are KILLING it when it comes to the food. The meatballs are tender, savory, and exceptionally flavorful, with a deep, rich crust that adds depth to both the flavor and texture of the dish as a whole. The ceasar salad is among the best we've found in Portland and the lemon zest really sets it off. Then there's the pizza; the PHENOMENAL PIZZA!!! The flavor of the crust after such a long prep is unlike anything else I've found. I love the char that develops in the oven and the chew is perfect. It's true that the recipe yields quite a tender crust, so a knife and fork might sometimes be helpful, but this is pizza that stands apart from so many extraordinary options here in Portland. My favorite might well be the pistachio pesto with roasted mushrooms and sausage. Love, love, love it! Foccacia bread upon seating is a true treat and I can not recommend the cannolis highly enough for dessert. My daughter just told me they are her favorite thing in the whole universe (and I'm not sure that was hyperbole). I only wish we lived even closer so we could pop in more often. I treasure having Yum's in our community and hope it can continue to build a place in our family traditions and memories. Congratulations and thank you to everyone that's made Yum's so special!

We had high hopes to go here, after seeing many great reviews. We arrived 5:30 with no reservations so they sat us at a larger community table, where we were later joined by another family, not a big deal. The wait for the pizzas were extremely long, which was confusing because they had just opened at 5, and we were there at 5:30 so it wasn't like the place was fully packed yet so not sure why the kitchen was already behind. We had finished our drinks and our two salads and then were left at the table wondering if they had forgotten about it. When the pizzas arrived they were given to the other party sharing our table, the customers said they didn't order it but the guy who brought it out almost was arguing with them saying they did and that this WAS their order. I spoke up and said "I believe those are ours, seems odd that they sat down half hour later than us and would get pizzas before us", turns out it WAS our pizzas. We get our pizzas, excited, but then found hot honey on our pizza when I specifically asked "no hot honey". We brought it up to our server, she apologized, offered to scoop/remove the hot honey from our pizza. I said no thanks because we were starving by this point and just wanted to eat. They didn't adjust anything on our bill. So we spent $133.20 for two pizzas, two salads, two drinks. If experience was great, and if I felt like a valued customer when things went wrong, I would give them a better review. But I felt like the experience fell short. Pizzas themselves are average, taste was good (not sure if it was because I was starving) however the center of the pizzas were soggy, and the crust was super black/burnt, so I didn't eat any of the crust. Anyways, I wouldn't go back, too many other good pizzas in Portland like apizza scholls and turning peel!!!

First I would like to say this place has amazing service, great atmosphere and delicious pizza. If you come with a group of 6 or more be prepared for a 10% required gratitude tip and be ready for a wait if you don't place a reservation. One thing I wouldn't recommend is their cannoli. For 12 dollars you get three mini cannolis which had a very stale cracker like shell and an overly sweet filling that hardly tasted like real ricotta and more like icing. I definitely would come again but next time forgo the cannoli for those hoping for authentic cannoli.

I have a high bar for great pizza and Chef Miriam's pizza wizardry clears the bar with ease. You cannot have an exceptional pizza without a solid foundation -- the crust at Yum's is absolutely fantastic!! Start with the tasty Caesar & Burratta, then move on to the pies...my favorites (so far!) are the Jersey Girl and the Yum Yum Hawaiian. If you are lucky enough to be there on a Sunday, reserve a Sicilian IMMEDIATELY upon arrival...you will thank me. Desserts are not an afterthought - the gelato and cannoli are a great way to complete an amazing meal. The space is great, parking is easy and the Yum's team is friendly & efficient. Yum's & Chef Miriam are in my top 3 pizza spots in Portland and I will be back very soon!!

Truly fantastic pizza. And the cannoli are so cute! A very welcome addition to the food scene here

We could taste the love in every bite of the Smoked Wild Cherry and Ricotta Be Kiddin' Me pizzas. The exquisite pizza crust and flavorful combinations will definitely bring us back for more.

Went during the soft opening and was so impressed by the quality of service and the quality of pizza. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the space the ambience and service. Easily one of the top pizza spots in town, hands down.

Food was good, but service and wait time for food left much to bed desired. We ordered our food at 615, didn't get our first pizza until 715.. we ordered the sauce trio with our pizza but that didn't arrive with our first. We had to ask for the sauce and it arrived ice cold (if serving sauces they should be served warm ( except ranch)). Our second pizza didn't arrive until 730.. so it was over and hour for both our pizzas. It seems as if there is a bottle next as to putting out the pizzas.. if you go to many other pizzas spots in PDX (such as Hapa) they seem to be able to get pizzas out in a timely fashion. In fact - a table that sat next to us (a 4 top) got their drinks, salad, and three pizzas all within 30 mins. Left much to be desired and likely wouldn't come back - definitely some kinks to work out.

Super tasty pizza with lots of awesome flavor combinations. The crust is soooo good! Recommend the smoked cherry and pistachio pesto specifically. Cute place. Super nice staff. Definitely will be back

The sauce, the crust, the flavor combinations. I have been looking for pizza like this since I lived in Boston in 2002. I've been waiting for you Yum's. Welcome and thank you!!

We were really looking forward to trying this spot and unfortunately it fell short for our group. Flavor of dough was great but we all agreed the texture was way too soft for the slice. The sauce on the margarita was great. The arugula and Prosciutto pizza was not constructed well between how they cut the meat and the softness of the pizza with too much cheese, it was mush. We also tried the cherry pizza which was a flavorful combo but we all thought the softness combined with the heavy amount of cheese didn't work well. If the bottom of the pizza was crispy it would be excellent, this could be a preference thing. Service was good for a new spot.

My new favorite pizza! AMAZING crust and bread! Super friendly and efficient service. Perfect temp inside for a 95° afternoon. Who needs the cinema? Warm atmosphere, family style. I'm eating leftover pizza as I write!

We trusted the reviews and this place didn't disappoint! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. We had the salad special (smoked asparagus and fresh burrata) which was perhaps the tastiest asparagus dish I have had. And the pizza (especially the crust) was fantastic! We had the special, Jersey Girl, the truffle shuffle, and a margarita pizza all in NY style. We loved our meal!

Been patiently waiting for YUMS to open, I work at the salon next door & we've all been waiting for someone to takeover that space. I was blown away by the renovations, the aesthetic feels so cozy & welcoming. The service was amazing & everything came so quickly!! Food was 10/10, I will be making this a regular on my fav foodie spots. Also-the owner was present + continuously checking on guests. You can tell the owner put a lot of love & thought into every menu item & detail. The team also seems to work so well together despite being a new business. Highly recommend!!!
