Picked up two 18" pizzas; a Margherita and pineapple and pepperoni. This was on a Saturday around 2 pm and it was EXTREMELY busy in Pine Street Market. For those who don't know, Pine Street Market is like an elevated food court with high end food offerings and open table seating. We couldn't find se
I had one slice each of Pepperoni and Brooklyn (capricola, pickled jalapeño, and honey). Both slices were great! The pepperoni curled up and cupped the grease...always a nice touch! Very crispy crust, with just the slightest hint of char. My first two slices of Portland pizza were excellent!
EDIT:
By far the best pizza in Portland. They put emphasis on the crust with simple toppings. I would recommend a slice of Brooklyn. So good even without the capicola.
This pizza has ruined me for all other pizzas. Good folks and great slices.
Really very good pizza slices are big and taste amazing, I live in New York and I would say these are better
I’m so happy I found this place! Checkerboard Pizza is my new go-to pizza place in Portland. Probably the best I’ve ever had! The service is always friendly and Pine Street Market (where they’re located) is fun to visit. Try calling and ordering ahead of time or use the Caviar app (for both pick
I did a back to back pizza slice eating day. Checkerboard has by far the best slices in Portland. It's gotta be the best slice I've ever had, actually. Great slightly charred crust, perfect tomato sauce & funky cheese with a little bit of a bite to it. 5/5, easy.
Really great pizza and good selections. They also have a good selection of French pastries.
The best pizza in Portland is 100% correct!!! No one comes close to the crust that Ken Forkish and crew create for these unbelievably awesome pies. Definitely recommend hitting it up at happy hour for slices that blow your mind. Only reason for 4 stars in location in Pine St Market. Others will love
Pizza was tasty. We liked the reheated version better than the fresh from the oven pies.
But I can not say enough about the lovely lady behind the counter, Aurelia. She was so friendly and helpful, really cemented the amazing hospitality of Portland.
A truly great pizza experience. The pies are top notch, the pastries light and flaky without ever being too sweet and the bread is moist, slightly sour goodness. Highly recommended to any pizza lover.
Oh. Em. Gee. It is sooo good. There is a very particular kind of pizza I am always looking for and I found it here. You can tell the ingredients are top notch just from the taste and texture. The crust is chewy and thin, the sauce fresh, and the cheese delicious. We got the margherita at happy hour
The crust is amazing! Crunchy, chewy , and very tasty. Great toppings and very fair prices. Happy hour deals are fantastic 👍. Croissants and baguettes are really good too, also at very fair prices. Try the chilli oil - amazing!
Great location to grab a pretty good pizza.
Just a great slice. Haven't tried anything but the old standby' s of cheese and pepperoni and they were perfect. The crust is as good as it gets, hard to describe but the right amount of crispy and chewy. Love it.
Crust is really good. I think the cheese they use could be higher quality though. I saw some desert pastries on the counter with flies crawling on them. Thankfully I didn't go here for desert.
