Stumptown is Hungry For Hot Lips Pizza

I met a person once who didn’t like pizza. Very strange. Pizza is one of those things that everybody likes. No one can resist the cheesy warmth and the mozzarella stretch that inspires conversations.

But if you want to really form an opinion about pizza, Portland has a local pizza chain that will spoil you with their gourmet offerings and twists on ordinary pizza toppings. Hot Lips Pizza. And it is. Hot.

With toppings like house cured ham and pepperoni, ricotta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese and seasonal offerings like Carlton Farms smoked bacon, local potatoes, apples, winter squash and brie… well, you just can’t lose.

You can go ordinary, with cheese and pepperoni, and still, the cornmeal dusted crust and the generous toppings will truly fill you with one piece. Not that that will stop you from having another.

The breadsticks, which I’m pretty sure measure at least 12 inches, are thick and doused with a layer of pesto, will take up whatever room you didn’t fill up with the pizza.

Hot Lips also makes their own berry soda – which is tangy and delicious. They keep it all local, all sustainable and all irresistible.

There are four locations to serve you in the metro area.

NE 33^rd and Killingsworth

SE Hawthorne and 22^nd

SW 6^th and Hall

NW 10^th and Irving
