BarFly's Review of Old Town Pizza

If Old Town Pizza resembles a turn-of-the-century luxury hotel overtaken by squatters of impeccable-if-stoned taste 'round the mid-'70s, there's a reason. It began life as the lobby of the 1880s' Merchant Hotel - the pizza order window's in the original reception desk area - and was reborn a generation ago as counter-culture restaurant/bar (with failed SF and Eugene franchises) where Bill Walton rode his bike to pick up vegetarian pies and Willem Defoe nightly held court. There's film screenings, now, and acoustic music and still a loyal cadre of regulars chatting round the bar alongside families visiting from around Portland. Space enough through the nooks and crannies stuffed with funky vintage furniture for tykes to run around without much chaos, and, should one spill your drink, just tell stories of the Shanghai Tunnel and house ghost Nina. Or, for that matter, Walton and Defoe. That'll send 'em screaming. $1 PBRs 4-6pm everyday. $2.50 wells plus food specials 9:30pm-close every night.

Reader Reviews of Old Town Pizza
Old Town Pizza, very bad service

Old Town Pizza needs a huge change in attitude and management. We went in after the OBF and they assumed my entire party was comprised of drunk assholes! Nothing was further from the case, thank you.

We ordered our pizzas ahead of time over the phone with no problem.

When we arrived the head bartentder (manager?) Christian, decided our entire party was drunk and we shouldn't be served alcohol, because in his words he had never been given a citiation for serving anyone under age, and questioning his judgment means you must be intoxicated!

Note: our party was the average age of 32+ and was very well behaved.

On top of this, Christian (the bartentder) accused me of calling him an asshole, which was an absolutely fabrication.

Old town pizza was a totally rude and disappointing evening.

If you must go, I suggest going when

1. Christian (the manager/bartender) is not working 2. When there is nothing going on in Portland which may cause heavier than normal patronage.

Thanks for listening BFM readers! Hardy
