Listen, Portland. We love you. And we love pizza. So the Portland Mercury is teaming up with our pals at Jim Beam, Tetra Cannabis, and dozens of local pizza shops to bring you the third annual Portland Pizza Week—$2 slices for everyone!
Each of the following restaurants on the Westside of Portland will be offering a special $2 slice from April 16-21, 2018:
What’s on it: House-made merguez (lamb) sausage, tomato curry, feta, fresh oregano, and preserved lemon.
When you can eat it: 11 am-midnight
What they say: “Not your average gyro-style pie, our fresh flavors will lure you away from that basic ‘za with hand-stretched, house-made dough and our own marinara recipe.”

When you can eat it: Mon-Thurs 11 am-11 pm, Fri-Sat 11 am-1 am

What they say: “Wild-caught shrimp in a zesty sauce, crisp jalapeño peppers, and succulent pineapple make up the heart of this pizza, while the fresh basil and scallions give it soul. The flavor profile is rounded out with red onions and finished with a tangy sriracha aioli. All that’s left to add is a spritz of lime, but we’ll leave that to you!”

What they say: “They say “Stick to what you know,” but they must not have known how delicious this combination could be! We’ve gone way outside our (ethical) comfort zone to bring you our (humble) attempt at a taste of Northern India by way of NYC, made from scratch all the way out here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s vegan, it’s delicious, it’s chana masala pizza! And we LOVE it.”
