What People's Say About Place

Okay so if your looking for the best gluten free crust on a pizza no one compares to this place. My wife and I have tried many places for her. We finally found the best. I got my self a Gilead and she ordered a build your own gluten free. We also tried the Greek salad they don't skimp on anything with their salads.

This a great cozy spot with good pizza at a reasonable price. The thin crust is crispy and tasty - i like that you can request a level of doneness if you prefer extra crispy! The sauce is my favorite part i think and all around quality ingredients and toppings. The owners are super nice. It has because a favorite spot and we look forward to checking out the patio when nice weather season returns! Salads and breadsticks are also tasty with generous portions and reasonable prices in a landscape of very pricey pizza spots.

**Gluten-Free** FINALLY. I get to have garlic cheese sticks again!! While the pizza was a bit cold due to delivery in winter, it reheated perfectly. My wife's family was in town so I ordered GF Cheese Sticks, a GF Bacon-pineapple-green pepper, and a regular crust Dillon. It was all delicious according to our guests. I could eat these cheese sticks all day and I didn't get sick. My wife and I worked in a pizza restaurant when we met and I loved getting to eat cheesy bread again. We'll be back to eat your entire menu.

I’ve really been stupid for not dropping in here sooner! Fantastic thin NY style pizza, great crust, toppings and sauce! Great slice price…. Might have found my new go-to!

When I walked in the door of Oly's, before I had a chance to look around, I was greeted by the same smell that I grew up with 50 years ago in my local pizza place in Massachusetts. The owners of came to Portland after extensive restaurant experience in Vermont, so I'm thrilled that both myself and the folks from Oly's have made our way to the east side of the Willamette at the same time. The 'Dillon' pie (sausage, roasted garlic, mozzarella and ricotta) was my introduction to their kitchen, and I suspect that it may take several more trips before I'm able to try anything else - good sausage was one of the main things I had a hard time finding when I first came to Portland, so I'm always delighted to find it nearby. The Oly's web site indicates that they may expand their hours to include lunch, and I look forward to that option, particularly since they sell both whole pies, and also make their creations available by the slice. Welcome to the neighborhood.

We finally made it over to Oly’s last night. It’s nice to have a good thin crust “NY” style pizza within a 2 block radius. I didn’t realize they had slices (they need to make this a bit bigger on their menu) but I had heard from a neighbor that they did. They had 3 vegetable and 3 meat selections available and hubby and I had a slice of The Floyds and Dillion. The Dillon was nice with whole garlic cloves on it, but The Floyds was fantastic with the red onion really bringing out the flavors of the sauce. The crust is crispy on the edges (as thin crust should be) and the bottom bendable if that’s your thing. The slice is very generous and they do a $1 off HH from 4-5 and 8-9. They had 4 beers on draft that including a good Red, Pilsner, IPA and Porter and some other more quirky beverage choices. There’s some seating inside (about the same as the previous occupant) and they have decorated it in a nice casual way showing their Vermont roots. I think this is a nice addition to our neighborhood and look forward to some lunch openings as well in the future

Best pizza in Portland and I'll take that opinion to my grave. Incredible flavor, always cooked to perfection. 10/10 no notes. They make their own ranch that is more addicting than crack. I swear I would sell my firstborn for a tub of it. If youre considering this place stop considering and order a pie or slice already.

We drove by a few times before finally stopping, and are so glad we did. Absolutely the best pie we have had in Portland yet! Our new favorite. Even our picky little one agrees and asks for it often. They have a nice covered area with picnic tables outside for safe dining and it is great for kids to be able to get some wiggles out too. The owners and staff are always great too!
