50/50 veggie/meat pizzas on menu. Can hold large slices with one hand. Find your favorite toppings and enjoy! Whole pies much better than slices (still quality, just a bit drier).

The margherita pizza was good, but the mashed potato bacon and scallion pizza was GREAT. Delicious. The house salad was fresh and red wine vinegar dressing was yummy too.

Step1: After reading this, look up. Step 2: Say to your server " I will have the butternut squash , ricotta and cranberry pizza , please". Step 3: Check-off that you have done this. Step 4: Be amazed

Margherita was delicious for those who don't want a tomato sauce based pizza . Thin crust & big slices (this was half of one slice)!

Alecia Branger

When browsing the arts district of Portland, duck into Otto's Pizza for a slice or two. You'll want to try at least a couple of their unique varieties. Don't miss the Butternut Squash , Ricotta & Cranb

This place is wicked awesome. My girlfriend's a New Yorker and the menu certainly surpassed her standards. Friendly staff and probably the best atmosphere of any pizza place I've been to.

Julia Warnock

Mashed potato w/ bacon and scallion pizza is the best, along with the pulled pork and mango pizza . Atmosphere is fun, always a great meal and a good time.

GF, Diary Free pizza available here! And if you want to drink, the Magner's hard cider is a pretty good compliment. The crust is so good it doesn't even taste gluten free . <3 OTTO.

It’s the best pizza in Portland !!When I was in New York City I had a pizza there and it was as good as there’s !!

Laurie Denness

The mashed potato , bacon , scallion pizza was different, good, but not my thing. Pulled pork and mango was amazing.

Went with the mashed potato , bacon and scallion pizza after reading some tips. Was not disappointed. Try the Otto Ale brewed by Magic Hat .

Jeff Casey

This place continues to surprise me with its deplorable customer service during all serving hours (lunch , dinner , fourth meal, etc.) Pizza is fantastic however, so I continue to be a patron.

THE BEST DELIVERY PIZZA IN TOWN . Add fresh ricotta to any pizza and it takes it over the edge of deliciousness..

Good pizza . They sell pizza by the slice.

I love the crust of the pizza , and it doesn't get soggy with added toppings!

Portland Phoenix

We like the house favorite pie w/ big piles of onion in some spots, and concentrations of mushroom in others. The crisp bacon — gathered in the middle — started the slice with salty crunch. Read more

Cormac Riordan

You have to try the bacon and mashed potato pizza . Trust me, you won't regret it.

You otto know... Go for the mashed potato pizza , stay for the delicous crust.

Came for the pizza and was disappointed. The ravioli pizza was just pizza with ravioli on top and. Margarita was an all tomato slice pizza pie . As a New Yorker, we were very disappointed
