FINO

FINO chef Neishma Balaguer Sagarida hails from Puerto Rico and wanted to give Portlanders a slice of the island with its new pie. The 100×35 pizza, named after Puerto Rico’s measurements, features creole-style sauce, mozzarella, plantains and spicy cilantro chimichurri.

Rudy’s Pizza PDX

Inspired by Von Ebert Brewing Pizzeria & Taproom’s general manager who apparently loves baked potatoes, the Baked Potato with Smoked Pork Belly Pie features potato, a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, smoked pork belly, green onion and crema.

Wild Child Pizza

Wild Child typically serves “Detroit pizza with Portland flavor,” but its Mexican Street Corn pizza is a special take on that. The pizza comes with sweet corn, garlic crema, pickled red onions, cilantro, mozzarella cheese, and is topped with cotija cheese and ancho chili powder.
