Re: “Camaron Azul”
Dammnmmn. Been meaning to get in here. Now I must!
Re: “Comfort Oriented”
I'm concerned this place is going to be the next Lardo, with hordes of lumpy suburbanites who can't park safely and walk right into the street on grease-filled highs. *Splat*
Re: “Comfort Oriented”
Huh. They must have prepared their dishes to be especially tasty and photogenic when you went there, Chris, because my experience from about a month prior was the polar opposite of yours. I was served an unappealingly soggy and flavorless "Cajun" chicken sandwich that appeared to be of the frozen, breaded chicken breast from Fred Meyer variety, and that was garnished with equally limp pickle slices, of all things. (pickles and breaded chicken breasts? really?)
My girlfriend had that same Mac n' Cheese that you decry as inadequate - and to add insult to that injury, hers was bone cold when served, like it had literally been scooped out of a refrigerated container and tossed into a bowl.
Not sure if we'll be back to this place, despite your somewhat generous review.
Re: “Comfort Oriented”
I don't even want to tell anyone because I want this to be my secret happy hour spot, but their onion rings are perfection -- not too thick, not too thin, not too greasy, battered, and you won't end up with a hollow batter shell after one bite. The beet salad is delicious too. I go back again and again for those two things alone.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
What makes New York pizza New York pizza is that it's cheap and everywhere. $17 ( with cost of living factored in that's probably equivalent to like $25 in NY ) for what a New Yorker calls a "plain" pizza is already NOT New York style.
That it doesn't drip a lot of grease also means it is most definitely NOT New York style.
The sauce is extremely simple and barely herbed: NOT New YOrk. Thinly painted, vailed on: NOT New York
Maybe this place is good, I haven't tried it. Whatever it is though it is NOT New York style in any way except maybe that the crust isn't really thick? Um... ever heard of a New York Sicilian?
This is what a NY pizza looks like:

And it costs about $3 a slice for the above. Much less for a slice of "plain" pizza, especially if you go outside of Manhattan.
I find it extremely confusing that people in Portland don't get this. I know y'all have been to NY. WTF did you eat there? Definitely not bagels, and definitely not pizza.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
roccos used to be pretty good, now there is only dinicolas over on powell. wich is quite yummy! or nona amelias out in hillsboro wich is king!!! this nastyy shit your reviewing isnt even worth the time and wont be around long.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
This place is right near my apartment and I had never been. Because of this review, I went on Friday and had some amazing pizza. Amazing. I am not a pizza snob because there are other things to worry about – like diabetes and sport hunting. This pizza was great and I will be back numerous times. Thanks for the tip!
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
Bring Back Stark Naked.....duh. This place will go out of business faster than.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz woop! ... I'm sorry I just bored myself to sleep talking about this place.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
My apologies to Baby Doll. My comments are not directed at them, but to the Portland pizza scene in general. I find it hard to believe that people love eating reheated slices of pizza. It seems like something you settle for instead of craving. Just wish there were more options like pizza made by real Italians as opposed to New York style by 20 something hipsters.
If that's your thing than by all means give Baby Doll a try. If Chris says it's good then it's definitely worth a shot.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
Ok, keep eating your reheated waxy cheese and cardboard. Like I said, this town will never know what truly great pizza is.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
^ you are such a bogus fuck face. It's frightening.......
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
I would go for the Lori alone!
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
^^Disagree on the pizza but I witnessed what you described a few days ago and it was very funny. Said "hipsters" debated amongst themselves what he meant. Bonus laugh : the guy who said this (more or less) ...big frame glasses, "ironic" (or stupid ) facial hair and a sweater that bore an uncanny resemblance to waldo. For real. DO I have video? Of course not, which is why I will always be a poor nobody. Sigh
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
Apizza Scholls sucks! Just because it's hard to get doesn't mean it's better. A hipster walks into a bar full of hipsters and says: 'This bar sucks, it's full of hipsters!"
Go to Hogan's Goat or Sizzle Pie. Boycott Scholls! F that place.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
This place is motherfucking delicious. Plus, the soda fountain has a Lori Laughlin trading card taped to it
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
Chris, please don't give full reviews for places like this in the future. Any of us can go and try a slice for ourselves with little risk. Save your reviews for eateries with more varied menus or that are likely to cause a person to pause before deciding wether or not to spend their hard earned dollars there. Pizza places like this are kind of a no-brainer.
Re: “Shut Your Pie Hole”
Yay, another New York style pizza place. How exciting. Sorry if the sarcasm isn't coming through in print.
This town will never understand what truly great pizza is. Apizza Scholls is the only place that comes close. Thank god, I'll be back in Milwaukee next month where I can enjoy a decent pie. The new Pizza Man should be open by then. Might trek down to Chicago for a proper deep dish too.
RSSGoing to Seattle?
Re: “Four Hits from Hell and Beyond”
That German bakery is awesome. Interesting to note that its name is 'German Bakery.'
Out in Scappoose, there's a dockside/floating restaurant/bar called Mark's On The Channel. They went away for a while, and came back. They used to make the best damn fejoada, which I see is no longer on the menu. I'm goin' there this Friday night, see if they redeem themselves otherwise.
