Top 5 Pizza in Portland

Top Tier EditorialSourcesPortland Press HeraldDown East Magazine

  1. 1

    Lazzari

    Arts District

    Neapolitan-esque pies out of a Skowhegan-built Le Panyol wood oven — the Press Herald singles out the Amatriciana and a white clam pie that clicks when you squeeze the lemon. Down East's Maine Pizzas You Have to Try flags the bolognese.

  2. 2

    OTTO

    Arts District

    The Portland mashed-potato-bacon-and-scallion pie that put the city on national pizza lists — Esquire named Portland a Top 5 pizza city largely because of this thin, crackling, crust-first slice (the Press Herald calls it a local essential).

  3. 3

    Flatbread Company

    Old Port

    Wood-fired organic pies with roasted Maine potatoes, local free-range chicken, and Maine Grains whole-grain flour — the Press Herald's pizza survey treats the harborside dining room with the big deck as Portland's sustainability anchor.

  4. 4

    Micucci Grocery Co.

    India Street

    The famous Sicilian slab — thick rectangles of airy focaccia-style crust with slightly sweet fresh tomato and a sprinkle of cheese, baked in the basement bakery. The Press Herald treats it as an institution and Down East calls the slab essential Maine eating.

  5. 5

    Portland Pie Company

    Old Port

    Steve Freese and Nat Getchell's 1997 craft-pizza original — flavored doughs (basil, beer, garlic, wheat) that made it Maine's first meaningful boutique pizzeria. Still on the Press Herald Best 75 as a Portland staple.
