Via Chicago

Ordered it for takeout and only one deep dish pizza so my experience is limited but that is a fantastic deep dish. The sausage is their best topping but add some giardinera peppers for spice on the pie if you want. I got a full pie so no issues with getting something reheated after sitting around for a while. It was well cooked and I loved how the sauce was thick instead of thin keeping the pizza shell crisp and unmolested by a watery sauce. Brilliant pizza. Probably in one of my top 10 favorites I've tried.

Atmosphere: Small spot with a few tables for dine inFood: Decent but not standout. Might be better if the pizza is fresh but if you order a slice, they just reheat an already-made slicePrice: Prices are pretty reasonable. Wednesday they have an AYCE slice deal that is worth it.Service: Friendly staffParking: Street parking

Wow ! My mouth is watering at the thought of getting this pizza again. I kept coming across online reviews of Chicago style pizza and thought to myself , my goodness, I NEED to try this. I came to yelp in search of the best Chicago pizza pie and it led me here. I was also surprised that there aren't many Chicago style pizza Joints in Portland at all. I sure am happy I picked this place. I online ordered a pepperoni whole pie with extra cheese and light sauce. When I order any pizza, I often get light sauce because I'm not really a big fan of marinara but this was not just any pizza. Something about their homemade marinara was too good to be true. The sauce was Very rich, thick and delicious. The cheese was fresh and beautifully melted.The woman working at the front was lovely and polite. We had a delightful conversation about the restaurant and their passion to make great Chicago style pizza. The surrounding customers also chimed in on our conversation and vouched for this pizza. They mentioned how they'd been eating here for years and that I wouldn't be disappointed in trying my first Chicago pizza from here. The aroma that lingered from the box made it so hard to wait till I got home to take a bite so I did just that and was mind blown. It was piping fresh out the oven just how I like it, all ingredients beautifully came together . This is definitely one of those places where you can tell they make everything from scratch . By far the best pizza I've ever had hands down. Thank you

Very relaxed pizza spot. Offer beer and wine, amongst other beverage options. The gal who helped us was super friendly. Garlic knots were very hot and tasty. Pizza was very good (ordered a slice of pepperoni and meaty to share) and our favorite was meaty. Be aware, the meaty is spicy and contains carrots!

I'm usually a New York pizza guy. With that out of the bag...I found Via Chicago pretty darned good! One slice will fill most, but with some many toppings/varieties I recommend trying them all. So far, my favorite is the 4 cheese pizza. The sub sandwiches are pretty darned good too. My current "go to" sub is the chicken parmigiana sandwich. Perfect! Also, Kevin (the owner) has a huge selection of cold adult beverages to chose from. And don't forget to grab a chocolate chip cookie or two afterwards. They are baked in house and are super good! Finally, for all of you midwestern euchre players, they have euchre every other Monday from 6pm - 8:30pm. The euchre folks are a diverse group of chill players. See you at Via Chicago soon.

Deep dish pizza is the way to go! Parking: During peak hours, it can be challenging to find parking. You can park in the residential areas (be aware of the no-parking signs). Service/Ambiance: We were greeted when we walked inside, the lady at the counter asked us if we had any questions. There is limited seating inside but there is some outdoor seating at the back. Food: The deep dish pizza tasted great! I personally wouldn't say its the best pizza but I heard its certainly the best in the Portland area. I barely finished two slices and had to save the rest for later in the week ( I couldn't finish it the next day, the pizza was so filling). A whole deep dish pizza can be easily be eaten by two, but if your a pizza lover might as well have the whole dish to yourself ;)

Luckily, we loved this deep dish pizza, and it's flavor, because if I had one suggestion, it would not be too get it delivered! The delivery driver managed to get all of the toppings sloshed over to one side of the pizza! I would definitely go in and experience the atmosphere along Alberta Street while you eat this Chicago pizza!

The pizza was great, fresh and amazing. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the grilled cheese and Caesar salad I ordered. The sandwich was hard and dried out. Probably left over from lunch. We were there about 6:30pm so it had been awhile. At first I thought it was just overcooked and different but later I realized it was a leftover. The salad would have been lovely if the lettuce was a little bit fresher and not partially wilted. But the people are great, I didn't say anything but I should have.

My favorite pizza place in Portland. Always clean and the pizza is tasty. Never been to Chicago or had "authentic deep dish" but the pizza is great so I can't wait to go.

This pizza hit all the marks if you're a cheese lover who likes deep dish! The flavor of the toppings were great (I kinda wish the sausage had fennel-but it was still tasty), and the cheese was full of pull! The service was great, and the setting was quaint. Next time I'm in Portland I will be sure to stop by!
