Reviews for HOTLIPS Pizza - Civic in Portland, OR
Update: Online ordering can randomly be disabled if demand is high, main website will note this but the individual location... ordering pages do not. That limited 20hrs/week open time is even more limited. Original: Food is great, order accuracy can behit or miss. When there's someone who looks old enough to be out of high school overseeing things, it's pretty solid. Othernights...doublecheck your order before taking off. *very* limited hours, only open 20 hours out of the entire week. Read more
Quaint little place on the corner. Lively energy, trendy decor, and fast service. They have way more than just pizza! Was able... to get pizza, drinks, and breadsticks for less than $15! Read more
They always have great pizza here, plus a few craft beers. The pizza is a must try if you are in Portland!
I usually order a pie since slices don't usually have enough cheese for my taste. Today I ordered with extra mozzarella and got... this.... Pic attached. Not common but I'm not happy. *update Hotlips replied and fixed my order, gave me a new pie and it wasawesome!! Added a star to review! Read more
The pizza is good. Unique slice selection. Great service. What's not to like?
I came here for Portland's Pizza week and enjoyed a $2 delicious slice containing the vegetarian Beyond Meat burgers. There is... lots to choose from, and if you are feeling super hungry, definitely add the bread sticks to your pizza. Very filling, and theatmosphere was very relaxing. There is also a special $2 cheese slice deal before 12pm, so check that out! Read more
The absolute BEST vegan pizza I've had. So many topping options along with falafel "meat balls". Vegan nirvana pizza is awesome... and they said they are transitioning from daiya cheese to follow your heart brand. (Daiya has a weird fake taste to it.)Crustwas thin and chewy with crunch on the end. Perfect. Paired with alpha centauri on tap. It gave me a food high. Read more
So far I've been here twice. After two year life or death type struggle with what I now know to be celiac, I thought pizza was... never gonna happen again. And I had some terrible experiences with other local pizza places who just dismiss your concerns andcross contaminate or even give you wheat based crust when you order gluten free Not here. Least not so far. Both times I go in they have been very reassuring, once going so far as to redo the pizza on their own volition and concern for me ( the person whocut it used the wrong cutter so they came to me and asked if I was legitimate celiac then redid it). The result is AMAZING. Idkif it's just the taste preference I've developed for gluten free or the way they make it, but the texture is unreal and thetaste is amazing... and CLEAN feeling compared to 'normal" pizza. I had a similar outcome at sfny pizza up the block, but thenthe second time I went there it was straight gluten and tasted like burnt microwave pizza topped with toe fungus. Whenever thishappens it is usually preceded by a dismissive attitude of staff - a thing I've learned to watch for. so I think it's primarilya matter of staff and how they deal with their ingredients rather than what those ingredients are exactly. The common thread Ithink is the atmosphere; stadium hot lips (in contrast to pearl hot lips) always has a business and responsible if not warm andfriendly atmosphere which for me has resulted in being able to enjoy an incredible pizza once per week.
