Handsome Pizza was a pizzeria in Portland, Oregon. Established in 2012, the business closed in August 2022.
The pizzeria was located on Killingsworth Street in northeast Portland's Vernon neighborhood and shared a space with Seastar Bakery. [1] [2] Handsome's pizzas were "New York-Neapolitan hybrids" and featured sourdough crusts, baked in a custom-built, wood-fired oven. [3]
Will Fain acquired the Pizza Depokos cart in 2011 [4] and rebranded the business as Handsome Pizza in 2012. [5] The restaurant operated from a garage in north Portland, until relocating to Killingsworth in August 2015. [3] [2] [6] During a gap between the two locations, Handsome hosted a series of pop-ups at the bakery Tabor Bread. [7] [8] In 2020, fifteen employees were laid off because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] In 2022, owners announced plans to close on August 14. [10] [11] [12] The pizzeria No Saint moved into the space. [13]
Michael Russell included Handsome in The Oregonian's 2016 list of Portland's best new restaurants. [14] The newspaper's Samantha Bakall included the pizzeria in a list of Portland's best wood-fired pizza. [15] In 2018, Russell ranked Handsome number five in a list of Portland's top ten pizzerias, [16] and number six in a list of the city's best pizza by the slice. [17] In 2021, Brooke Jackson-Glidden included Handsome in Eater Portland's overview of eateries for "exceptional" pizzas in the city and said the "hyper-seasonal specials are often stunners". [18]
