The garlic knots are good but the pizza is consistently the best slice I've ever had. The pepperoni is crispy and perfect and the sausage is seasoned incredibly well. The sauce is tangy and dynamite and the crust is crispy and perfectly buttery. The deep dish is also awesome! Just wish I lived closer.
Fantastic service!! Creative pizza flavor combos! Visited for the first time for Pizza Week! Excellent and the expanded seating was wonderful. Will visit again for sure, and will bring friends along!! Thanks so much.
Ok, ok… this is the real deal. I know this is gonna be a bold statement, but this just might be the best pizza I’ve had in Portland. 🙀🙀
Perfectly crisp on the bottom, fresh tomato sauce, melty cheese, and killer peps!
Open till midnight on Saturday which is a WIN!
Been coming to this spot for the last 8 years or so. It’s my goto and favorite pizza by the slice spot in Portland. Always consistent and rivals any other spot in town. The dough is killin and the topping distribution rules.
Friendly service. By the slice. Great crust. Good sauce. Garlic knots were on point. Good joint for laid back family quick stop
September 2023 update:
Pandemic annoyance - most pizza places have pivoted to a 4:00 PM opening time. For me, one of life's great pleasures is a slice or two for lunch. Baby Doll is, happily, still open at midday, making me very happy when I'm driving around in inner S.E. Portland. A great deal of comfort can be found when cherished traditions do not change.
Aside from lunchtime service, additional amenities include indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a highly efficient to-go operation.
There is a large indoor dining space, separate from the counter area, decorated with pizza box artwork on the walls, as well as stacks and stacks of boxes waiting to be filled, which I consider to be a delightful form of art, in and of itself.
Street parking in this neighborhood is much easier than other parts of the city where by-the-slice service tends to be found.

Older review:
Excellent to-go experience. I called in an order, and it was available for pick-up at the time they quoted me. The lobby was well marked for a limited number of customers being inside at one time.
The promptness of the order impressed me largely because they were BUSY. They had a large crew cooking and ringing up orders, and I was pleased to see the cashiers regularly checking with the people waiting outside, to make sure that nobody was standing on the sidewalk while their pizza was inside, starting to cool off.
Just as it was before the pandemic, the pizza itself is delightful. We went with caramelized onions and sausage, and were very happy indeed.
Pizza had good flavor and it was quite large sized, I just was a little disappointed that it took so long to arrive. Placed the order at 4:15 and it didn’t arrive until 5:55 and I only live 10 minutes from the location.
Best quick service meal! Pepperoni was crispy and flavorful! This was the most affordable we had while in Oregon! Can eat in or outside! Sell by the slice as well! Highly recommend I'd your in this part of Portland to try it!
For me, restaurants fall into 3 categories - never coming back, will come back if someone else wants to go, definitely going back. This falls under category 2. Nothing wrong with the place. Service was great. Friendly, cheerful staff even though they were busy. But for me the pizza was "ok"...not bad but not great either. They sell by the slice or whole pies. We had 4 slices - veggie, vegan, pepperoni & meat. Didn't like the vegan one, others were decent.
This pizza is bomb. Perfectly crisp on the bottom, super fresh sauce, melty cheese, and delicious pepperoni.
Anything I could say about this place wouldn't do it justice! A great place to hang out, eat phenomenal hand made pizza, have a drink, ( I love the hazy ipa) and meet some awesome people! I absolutely love this place and have been many times!
Pizza was good, no complaints...got a veggie slice and quite enjoyed it. Not quite as authentic an NYC slice as I was hoping for, but passable enough, definitely won't regret it.
Seating and ambiance is nice, the wood and decor helps mute sounds and the lighting isn't too bright.
My biggest complaint was distant and distracted service and lack of transparent pricing on beverages. I greatly dislike buying something I don't have a clear price for, and have enough social anxiety I certainly don't like feeling I have to ask
