In a neighborhood without many options I often find myself grabbing a beer and a slice of pizza here. I have tried a couple different kinds of pizza as well as a few of the salads and would say they are slightly above average. The menu is typical with the standard pizza, salads, and pastas but the one thing that distinguishes this from the rest of the Pizza Shmizza locations is the FULL BAR. The bartenders are observant and make solid drinks and they have a standard selection of beer including a few local craft brews. Another nice thing about this place is the televisions. They have a lot of them and also have every professional sports package. I have asked many times if they can put on a specific game and each time they have done it without hesitation. The decor is basic with PSU banners and a line of NFL branded Lucha Libre masks (would love to get my hands on a few of those). All and all a decent spot to grab a drink and watch a game if you are in the neighborhood.

I really really love the Extreme Veggie Pizza here. It can be bought by the slice or a full pie and the veggies are extremely fresh and not overcooked, even a little crunchy! Love that! Even though I scoff at PBR, they have it for $1.50 here (during Happy Hour), so if youre trying to save on cash and want something lite aka one step above water, just know you can make that choice. By the way, the staff here is awesome as well as the fine music they stream. Totally recommend. P.S. I <3 their acrylic mixed media artwork on the walls also.

My normal Monday spot although hardley normal. Amazing staff always there when you think youre going to need more. Informative. Clean environment. Plenty of tvs if youre into that. Huge draft selection as well as liquor selection and the pizza is created not only by the man up top Mr. J.Christ but also his other half from down below Mr. Satan which creates a perfect balance making this place all and all your next favorite pizza joint on PDX. Great prices too. Hasta la Vista.

Everyone is friendly and the pizza is fine, but it seems like the tiny women there are required to wear tiny t-shirts in the dead of winter. They always look like theyre freezing. Add that to the sign behind the bar making some forgettable joke about how much they hate your wife, and I generally leave this place to dudez who like lame wife jokes and frozen waitresses.

The solid pizza place just got better. Since their renovation, the vibe has changed from family eatery to sports pub with plenty of bar space with the taps to match. Its a great spot to enjoy their great happy hour deals as well as to enjoy a late slice after a Timbers game. Service is great and anchored by some really great bartenders who are happy to help.

Even though the pizza here generally tastes like every other schmizza, they cant even compare. Joel and the rest of the staff care about nothing other than pleasing their customers. This place is wonderful in every way. Theyll even help you with fund raising! They are wonderful so give it a try.

Their pizza was tasty, almost has good as homemade. Crust was just that, not the freezer kwrap one usual gets. Not sure they still have the gator, but that gives a nice pizzaz to pizza, nice Cajun touch, better than some Andoulie sausage, and it tastes like chicken

What an amazing group of people they have working here, I love coming in after work on Friday nights having a beer, chatting with the bartenders, and singing some karaoke which is always a blast thanks to the young lady running it. Great times!

This place is great. Good pizza, good drink, good service. When I lived near it I would go all the time. They have a point card system for slices so you can get free ones and they have deals on slices all the time. :)

Schmizza is awesome. Their pizza is delicious and theyve always got something new on tap. The beer is affordable, the TVs show sports, and the staff will bend over backwards to make sure youre happy.

I just dont get this places success. Wheres the damn sauce? Whys the dough so thick and gooey? How come theres almost two inches of nothing but that circumscribing the toppings?

They have this amazing drink which is a long island at the bartenders discretion so they make it the way they want, and they are delicious :) Also it is a good price :) :) :)

Trivia on Thursdays! Excellent beer list, and although its largely a pizza place, they do have a decent selection of other foods like pasta, wings, and salads.

So concerned about my satisfaction and they worry about their quality on food. Each franchise is different and this location is the best one!

I love this restraunt/pub. You get a great pub feel while avoiding all the negatives of a pub(noise, smell, etc...)
