BarFly's Review of Silver Dollar Pizza

It's not really a sports bar despite the countless TVs set to ESPN - after-work sorts seemed genuinely disturbed at anyone watching the game action - and, though their pizza perfects a post-seventh-grade-soccer-championship classicism, the bartenders do everything but refuse to take food orders. The Silver Dollar obstinately remains a neighborhood bar in search of a neighborhood.

Drunken louts from god-knows rule the sizable pool room and arcade, older area barflies know everybody's names, post-grad long-hairs tie their dogs to the benches outside and trade microbrews, hipsters sprawl across front couches to sneak wi-fi from the neighboring ice cream parlor.

On an avenue so crowded with niche destinations, The Silver Dollar helplessly became a catch-all retreat for all drinking needs otherwise unmet by surrounding bars - admirable, entirely, but ... they'd be such a GOOD pizzeria/sports bar.

alienating

I never even got to their pizza or drinks. Bad atmosphere and terrible customer service.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE their pizza... I have NO idea who these other peeps are or what they ordered? or where they've been before... for that matter... Silver Dollar cooks every pizza to order... INCLUDING single slices... you can't beat that. After the remodel, the old tv's went to the wayside and everything looks better than the "olden days" so-to-speak. Two thumbs from me... I live in the hood. Steve is rad if he's working.

Like sports, beer and pizza?

Then Silver Dollar will fulfil your needs. If you want a better sports bar, walk a little further to Uptown Silver Dollar as SD has the worst tv's I've ever seen a "sports bar" have. You want beer? Go to Blue Moon across the street. You want GOOD pizza, I recommend you avoid this place. In other words, you really shouldn't have any high expectations other than you can eat Izzy's style pizza, drink moderately priced beer and watch sports on 10 year old tvs.

Service is AWFUL

Literally the worst service I've had an any bar in Portland... And I've been to Dante's. Avoid it like herpes. If I wanted to be ignored by fat, uneducated women who put mascara on with a paint brush, I'd go to Gresham. It's a nice place to piss if you're homeless, but that's about it.

total crap

This place sucks! The service sucks...the bartenders are rude unless you are old and drunk apparently. Their pizza tastes like mold. The bartenders can't even make drinks right.

this place sucks now

This place used to be really cool a couple of years ago, when JC was running the place. The new manager came in, raised prices, made the pizza taste like crap, remodeled the place to make it look like a 12 year old boys bedroom and the crowd left. Now, its a pretty depressing place.
