Best pizza around us and only about a 10 minute drive from our door. Get the mashed potato/bacon/scallion pizza but really anything there is good. Good local beers on tap and great for groups or solo.

Hands down the best hard tacos you will ever eat. Make sure to also get an order of the sweet potato taquitos which are a local favorite. Seating is somewhat limited and it definitely has more of a bar feel to it so it might not be the best for large families. One of our must eat places if you find yourself in Portland.
