The new Dominos pies aren't bad. Especially at like six bucks for a medium.

yay! glad to see lonesome's getting the recognition it deserves.... i love this place - not only for the pizza but for what they're doing with local artists and pushing cool stuff out in to the world. never saw the hot delivery girl, but i totally have a crush on Nik, the little person that delivered my pizza one night. and definitely try the ethiopian, its my favorite!

Domino's is the Kia's of the pizza world, Lonesome's is the Rolls Royce. Nothing wrong with a Kia, but for a few dollars more, why not get the best? I've been in Portland my whole life and this pizza place is in my Top 5 places of all time for food in this city! I strongly recommend them, if not for yourself, do it for your tastebuds!

I haven't tried Lonesome yet but based on what I've heard it sounds like it's worth a try. On a side note: why when there's talk of pizza joints in Portland they always have to name drop Apizza Scholls as the best? That place is so overrated. Just because they limit their dough (intentionally) and you have to wait in line doesn't make it good. Their sauce and cheese are both mediocre. I'd gladly take a place like Hammy's over them any day.

Interesting facts.The top five day's of the year that pizza sells are the day before thanksgiving,halloween,day afer christmas,new years and super bowl sunday.The best time of the day to eat pizza?ANYTIME!!!!!

What a great marketing coup. Not only are they an advertiser, they are also a story. Sounds like main stream media. The best part is that there banner ad is right above the story.

Fuck all y'all! Escape from NY will always be the best pizza in Portland.

I agree with Joe Joe, aside from the negativity. Escape is the best I've had in town, but I'm glad that Hammy's finally has some competition.

Get back Joe.

For the super bowl, we ordered 4 large pies (I believe the 1, 2, 9 w/ tofu, and 10). While that was $100 ($84 for the pizza plus $16 tip),

1) The pizzas were hot (cold pizza has been a knock against them),
2) The pizzas were awesome (the 9 esp. went over well), and
3) The pizzas were delivered 10 or 15 minutes ahead of schedule - 35 minutes or so on Superbowl Sunday is an eminently reasonable wait.

Would definitely order again. Well done, Lonesome!

oh yeah,

4) Someone else paid for it. That helped.

i have to agree with Jota. after weeks of seeing Lonesome Pizza heavily advertising in the Mercury, it seems awfully suspicious that we now see a glowing review.

We were all just complaining about the price of pizza in town but, yeah, their pizza is decent.

@ Jota, so you want the Mercury to review local businesses, but for the sake of objectivity, they should not allow them to advertise with the paper/website.

When will you start personally funding the Mercury? Otherwise, it's trade-off time! Eek!

@4 you are crazy. Apizza Scholls has other-worldly crust, and delicate flavorful toppings. Not that it's my favorite pizza in the world or anything... but HAMMY'S? I've had Hammy's at least 2 dozen times and the crust has been doughy and undercooked in the center EVERY SINGLE TIME. The toppings are nothing to write home about either and basically it's just a really consistently mediocre pizza. Of course, I still order it frequently, because they are open late, and like they said in some hip 90's movie, "sex is like pizza -- even when it's bad it's still pretty good"

Glad to hear Lonesome's also delivers late-nite pizzas.

I tend to feel worse about myself on a downward slope, so simply by virtue of the passage of time I will feel worse after ordering the pizza than before?

This is the best pizza delivery i've had. Also really cool they're open til 4am, I really like what they're doing with promoting local artists. Portland needs more places like this. I don't see how they could possibly be making money. I got a large margarita. It came 45 minutes later; hot, fresh ingredients and a cd. Keep up the good work.

Pizza is terrible, guys. I'm sorry but it was really gross. The box was amazing, though. I discovered a new artist and I appreciate the late night pizza delivery. Try a bit harder with the ingredients please.
