Oregon: Ken's Artisan Pizza

Portland’s famed Ken’s Artisan Pizza is often credited with sparking the city’s artisanal pizza renaissance, even earning the #5 spot on a prestigious 2024 national pizza guide. The philosophy at Ken’s is to take classic Italian techniques and give them a Pacific Northwest twist: the dough is slowly fermented for exceptional flavor and baked to a perfect char, then topped with hyper-seasonal local produce and house-made ingredients. Their hand-pulled mozzarella finds itself paired with unique toppings like pistachio pesto, pickled jalapeños, roasted onions, and spicy Calabrian salami on various pies. The combination of old-world craft and inventive flair makes Ken’s Artisan a consistent contender for best pizzeria in Oregon, delighting critics and customers alike.
