Old Town Pizza is a

Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of central Portland, Oregon
in the United States. The company has a satellite location at Vanport Square in Northeast Portland that includes a brewery branded as Old Town Brewing Co. Two days before its March 2012 opening, a fire forced the restaurant to undergo reconstruction for six weeks.

Description and history

Old Town Pizza was established in 1974 in the

Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of northwest Portland, Oregon.[1] The restaurant's menu includes pizzas, paninis, pastas and salads.[2]

Satellite restaurant and Old Town Brewing Co.

Old Town Pizza's satellite restaurant is located at 5201 Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Vanport Square in Northeast Portland.[2][3] Historically, the location was a hub for the automotive industry.[3] The restaurant serves the same menu as the original location and features a similar "rustic-feeling atmosphere", plus a full bar.[2]

The Northeast Portland restaurant was set to launch its seven-barrel brewery, branded as Old Town Brewing Co., in mid-March 2012.

India Pale Ale, an Irish red, a pale ale, a porter, S.T.E.A.M., a stout and a winter ale.[1] S.T.E.A.M. was developed in collaboration with Rock Bottom Brewery during Old Town's six-week closure and was served by both companies.[1]

Reception

Old Town Pizza has been featured on Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels,[5] a series hosted by celebrity chef and television personality Rachael Ray, The Tonight Show and the Travel Channel.[1] Portland Monthly recommended the original restaurant as a good place to start or end an evening. The magazine published about the restaurant: "There's something so McCabe & Mrs. Miller about eating in a warm, wooden room. And indeed, much of the allure of Old Town Pizza is the architecture."[6] The Old Town Chinatown Community Association included the Northwest Portland restaurant in a self-guided tour of the neighborhood.[7]
