Old Town Pizza, Portland
Everybody raves about Old Town Pizza, just look at the front page of their website: “Something to Experience before You Die”; “Visited by the Tonight Show and Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels“.
So what are my raves about Old Town? It’s a really nice building and space. Oh, and it’s a really nice building and space.
I went with their normal crust, which is kind of “Boboli-like” in nature; they now offer a “new thin crust” but it only comes in a smaller version. (Wot? Wot?).
The sauce is non-descript, and the cheese, well, is cheese. I was really excited from the menu description of the “house-made sausage”, but it wasn’t all that flavorful, and the bits were miniscule. There are lots of great house-made sausages around town, and this isn’t one of them.
You place your order at the ‘order counter’, and it’s not really clear that if you want drinks, you can pay together or separate (at least it wasn’t to me).
The order-taker gives you a playing card, and your pizza is brought out when it is ready. If your server is ambitious, you’ll get flatware, plates, and napkins. If they aren’t, you’ll have to ask.
Standard seasonings adorn each table.
I’m just moving into a new office in Old Town, and I was really hoping this place was going to be my twice-weekly stop or delivery choice.
Did I mention it’s a really nice building?
