Recently I had the pleasure of eating at Give Pizza A Chance, a food cart in downtown Portland. Between 4th and 5th on SW Stark, actually. I became interested in the place because some TX connects contributed monetarily to the start of the business. What's great about this place is all the disposable kitchenware is biodegradable. Only the napkins are made from wood. The plates are grass pulp, the cups are corn starch and the forks are potato starch.
The variety of pizza was nice. Something for everyone. Vegan veggie pizza for the strict herbivores and pepperoni and sausage for the carnivores. I chose the Greek from the recommendation of the server who was pleasant. Feta, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, red onions, olives and drizzle of olive oil in place of red sauce. Tasty for sure. The ingredients were noticeably fresh and the half white half wheat crust was crispy on the outside and moist inside. Great stuff for a food cart.
The really stellar part of the meal were the handmade sodas. Four varieties were available and I tried the cucumber lime and lemon mint. Both were refreshing and not overly sugary or carbonated. The lemon mint was perfectly balanced and was like a mojito sans booze. Bring your own cup because they are a steal at 75 cents.
I would highly recommend this place to any PDX residents in downtown around lunchtime.
$2-$3 slice
$3 greek salad
$1.50 hand-crafted soda (.75 your cup)
$1 for 3 garlic breadsticks
$6 for three of above items
$10 for whole cheese pie, $2 for toppings (allow 20 min)
spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, olives, peppers, onions, potatoes, pepperoni, italian sausage, feta, blue cheese
