Pizza Week Spotlight: Meet the Slices and Pies You’ll Find In North Portland!
Let the bells ring and the confetti fall: PIZZA WEEK IS BACK, AND IT’S HAPPENING NOW!
That’s right, running now through Sunday, April 25, the Portland Mercury‘s Pizza Week has returned and is giving pizza-loving Mercury readers the chance to get special slices from some of Portland’s finest purveyors of pizza pies… for a mere two dollars each! That’s right: Each slice is just TWO MEASLY DOLLARS or, at participating venues, a WHOLE PIE for $16. (You heard correctly: This year certain Pizza Week participants may be offering $16 whole pies along with slices, or just whole pies alone. Be sure to check our Pizza Week locations to see who is offering what!)
Along with our pizza-loving pals at the SPLIFF Film Festival (tickets on sale now!) and EverOut Portland (the greatest event calendar in the city), the Mercury is proud to present what might be our greatest Pizza Week lineup ever—one that features 24 different pizzas at 30 Portland locations, available across the city and lovingly crafted by your favorite pizza masterminds.
There are fantastic slices and pies being served all over Portland for Pizza Week (check out our handy map here!), and you can look at all these delicious pizza creations here. But here are just a few of the slices being offered in the North Portland area, listed in alphabetical order:
Fino Bistro and Pizzeria’s “Strawberry Fields Forever”

Mississippi Pizza Pub’s “Philly Fungi”
WHAT IT IS: Caramelized onion sauce, provolone, parmesan, cremini and portabello mushrooms, Anaheim peppers, roasted garlic, and a touch of sea salt
WHAT THEY SAY: We are always finding ways to make pizza the ultimate comfort food, what’s more comforting than a veggie Philly cheese-“steak”? We put a West Coast spin on our pizza with the Anaheim peppers because of their smoky, sweet, and tangy taste. Science has shown that upon eating comfort foods the brain releases feel-good hormones that promote well-being, and we all need a little more well-being after the past year. We don’t argue with science!
