Where Do We Get a Good Slice in Portland, Oregon?

Apizza is good but unless I'm mistaken, they don't do slices!!! I loved their pie but they are a bit too uppity for me to wait in line. I wait in line for very little.

Pizza is one of the 5 food groups in our house and the gold standard is John's in NYC. Bleecker st is the preferred location.

Now that I've given my credentials, my vote is for Tributes in NW portland http://portland.citysearch.com/profile/8459556/ . It's no John's but it's not about hype, location or anything other than being a east coast pizzaria transplanted to the northwest.

NY NY on Barbur off the Terwilliger curbs is run by a true NY import and has the closest to the real thing I've found. He got written up in the local pages back in '01 I think for having the largest pie in town, thus requiring a dine in only because they couldn't make a box big enough. Slices are massive and topped to order.

There are no great NY style slice joints to be had in Portland. Escape from New York Pizza is pretty mediocre. Their crust is a little on the thick side and they are heavy handed on the cheese. Hot Lips can do a decent slice, but isn't better than your average New York corner slice.

The best places in PDX are no-slice establishments—whole pie or no pie. Apizza Scholls takes the cake for east-coast style large pies. Ken's does a great neapolitan-style pie. Carboni's on MLK, which doesn't seem to get any press, makes a good pie. They imported their wood-burning oven from Italy and seem to take their pizza pretty seriously. Their dough is handmade and their crust has a nice char. Their large pizzas are 16" though, which is not-quite NY sized.
