Long wait but worth it! Servers were so kind and you order your food via their QR code or at the cashier counter to then eat at your table. Pizzas are small (for four people id recommend four pizzas) but the ingredients all felt so fresh and were tasty. Our favorite was the pizza special with peaches. We were nervous about the mushroom and special pies not having any sauce but they weren’t dry at all. Drinks tasty too! Tiramisu was wayyy too alcoholic it felt like i was taking a shot of liquor but we still ate it. Pizza crust was also a bit too burnt for me but didn’t take away from the deliciousness of it all. The beet salad was exceptional. Overall worth the wait, expect small serving sizes but definitely get the mushroom pizza alongside any specials they have.

Incredible dinner! Came in on a Wednesday around 7:15, seated by 730, and had food within 10-15min of ordering. Pizza was killer with great crust. We got the special with included peach and arugula, standout for sure, but also loved the garlic truffle mushroom. Really friendly and quick service, and appreciated the well priced drink options. Really cute decor, intimate feel. Will be back!

Had a wonderful time checking out "The Turning Peel" for the first time this weekend! The staff welcoming & serving us was friendly (you order via QR code at your table and then the food is brought out to you). You could tell from walking in & the full restaurant that the food was going to be great. We got a Margherita pizza & pepperoni pizza & both were absolutely fabulous! The crust was amazing! We were recommended the feta & honey dipping sauce for the crust and it was definitely worth it. The restaurant is family friendly and even has books and little toy buckets you can take to your table for your kiddo to play with. We were enjoying a date night sans kiddo, but would definitely feel comfortable bringing our toddler back with us when we inevitably come back for more amazing food!

The best pizza in Portland maybe northwest. There’s another pizza place close to this one that’s always in the discussion for best pizza but this place is probably better and way more consistent hours of operations. There’s another pizza. The pizzas about good size for one hungry person or for couple to share with maybe dessert and appetizer. Parking can get full since it’s street parking and lots of construction or cars. Tiramisu is also outstanding best I’ve ever had.

Outstanding vibe and delicious Napoleon style pizza personal sized pizzas! The staff were very helpful and friendly with on-point service. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating with convenient ways to order either via QR code at the table or from the front counter. The pizzas are personal sized, with a deliciously light and airy crust and generous topping portions, so you’ll definitely want to order one for each person.

Hands down some of the best pizza we’ve had. We sat outside in the adorable patio. You order from a QR code or inside which to be honest was since as we were able to head out upon finishing. Someone still came by checking on us and filling our water. The pizza had the perfect crisp with still leaving the crust the perfect amount of doughy. We can’t wait to return.

Coolest pizza place I have ever been. Love the music, ambience, people were cool, friendly and the pizza was delish. I will definitely be back. So far one of my favorite places in Portland unpretentious ( don’t get me wrong I love fancy), and it has personality.

Super cute place with amazing pizza. The dough alone is worth the trip. The patio is the best when it's nice weather. You can order from a QR code at your table, or someone will come by and take your order, if you prefer. I love being able to order on my phone. I ordered the mushroom truffle pizza and made it vegan. Their house made vegan cheese is delicious. Can't wait to come back and try even more pizzas!
