    Ordered from here last night. Got the Penelope pie and the real nice pie. For an East Coaster visiting the PNW, Mississippi pizza has definitely had the closest crust to any pizza that I'm use too. Highly recommend it!

    Great service. Pretty good pizza. Crust is sweet, thin, and puffy at the ends, like proper NYC slice. Sauce and cheese are great too. However, the sauce doesn’t sit perfectly on the crust, creates a distinct boundary which imbalances the textures of the slice. Hence, my 4 star rating.

    Great pizza, fast service, a few beers on tap, there's a lot to like about this place. Plenty of outdoor seating, plenty of slices to choose from, and plenty of whole pies to choose from. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more beers on tap but this place executes pizza and their identity well. We'll come back.

    I chose this place because they had reviews regarding gluten free pizza being safe for those with allergies. They are very aware of gluten allergies and take precautions from seperate ovens to bringing in sealed crusts from Portland gluten free bakery. The only sign visible when we drove by the first time was Mississippi Pub. This is the same building. They have multiple outdoor eating spots (you see a row of wood slats from the road, which is the back of the seating slots) with ambiance, propane fires on the table. I'm not sure how warm they would keep you though. Today was drizzly and chilly, so we ate in the lounge. The pizza was out in less than ten minutes. They do have beer and wine choices behind a chilled glass case as well as four or five choices on tap...one of which is a malty apple cider. Unfortunately all the cider in the case is canned...which makes for a tinny flavor so I just had water. The gluten free pizza had the perfect topping ratio. The carmalized onions were excellent...not soggy at all. The ricotta must be local or in-house. It was fluffy, with a lightly salty, cheese tang a good ricotta has...no sour store-bought bitterness here. The sausage was perfectly balanced and a delicious, light mouth feel with notable, yet not overpowering sage and fennel notes. The basil was fresh and scattered in strips across the top. The sauce was bright red and simple...tomato sauce, salt, pepper, garlic and oil. Each table had dried chili flakes and powdered parm, as most restaurants do. The crust was the only area I would like to see improved. For gluten free, it was good. It wasn't dry, sandy, oily or cracker thin. It was a rolled out, quick bread texture thin crust without being too thin. I am so spoiled by New Cascadia Gluten free Bakery and thier yeasty, stretchy...just like a glutenous hand-tossed crust should be crust. They are the bar and it's a very high bar. If this spot charged even more to let me have New Cascadia as an option, I would very happily pay it. The service was friendly and the two bathrooms are gender nuetral...with an alien saying who cares on the door. The one I used was very clean. The building is dated but has old building character and wall heating units as well as AC. The whole street has a lot of locally owned and run spots with signs letting patrons know LGBTQ+ are welcome and support signs for black lives matter. This place does have live music on a regular basis as well. Don't throw money at greedy, bloated corps. Give these guys your money and have an excellent pizza pie and great ambiance. Vegan options are here as well. If you feel like desert, check out the vegan, gf ice cream and goodie shop one block west (toward MLK) and across the street. I don't need dairy free but we each had a scoop and it was creamy and delicious! Then slip into Restore back across from Mississippi Pizza and see what inspires you. The whole street is a great day to be had. πŸ™‚

    Mississippi Pizza is wonderful! It has some of the best gluten-free accommodations of any pizza restaurant in Portland, with sealed crusts and a completely separate oven for gluten-free orders to keep them celiac friendly. And both its gluten and gluten-free crusts are some of the best of either type in Portland- nice and chewy, thick, and cooked perfectly. Their pepperoni is great as well, both in the large "sheet" and small "cup" varieties. Its breadsticks are no slouch either. Possibly the restaurant's best virtue is its outdoor seating area, which is covered surrounded with heaters, and has a perfect atmosphere with the faint sounds of music from the neighboring Atlantis Lounge piped in for ambience. The biggest concern is the price, since a pie that feeds 3 can set you back $40-50... but that's about the same price as an average medium-quality meal in Portland these days, and non-picky light eaters can easily be satisfied with two slices for only $8 or $9.

    Love this place! Atmosphere is cool, service is friendly and the pizza is great. It has a nice crispy crust and generous toppings. Will definitely make this a regular spot while we stay in Portland.

    Let me just start out by saying this isn't Napoli and this place is a cornerstone of the neighborhood that has been going forever. They hit that perfect point of offering the highest quality pizza that they can while keeping it cheap. It's not super gourmet. But the dough has some stretchiness to it, bubbles when cooked and the toppings can be combined in ways that make it really satisfying. They also support musicians and the arts with their very affordable venue providing an amazingly useful hub of human interaction all day every day. Bless you Mississippi pizza!

    Absolutly delicious pizza and great friendly service. Kitchen accidentally made wrong pizza and I was OK with it But our server insisted we get an upgraded size and take the right pizza home. This was so much appreciated. 5 stars all around

    Went here for $6 adult slushy week and tried their Purple Rain slushy. Very very good. Actually, the slushy was served in a bar in the back of the pizza place called Atlantis Lounge. The pizza here is affordable and crazy delicious. We went here 3 times. Third visit, walked into a fabulous drag show going on. Made the spontaneous date night even more memorable

    Pizza! Love it. So glad we stopped in, friendly staff, fast service. Very cool little spot. We weren't super hungry, so we just grabbed what they already had made. But some of the specialty pies sound amazing. Very reasonably priced. If ever in Oregon we will stop again.

    Monday night is Bourbon & Bingo night. Bingo starts at about 7:30pm and it feels more like stand up comedy than Bingo. Very fun, definitely recommend checking it out!

    Soooooooo good!!! I got a gluten free pizza and it was delicious. My wife got a regular pizza and she loved it as well! I got the gluten free breadsticks and I’ll pass on that next time. The breadsticks didn’t have enough seasoning/flavor for my taste. But the tomato sauce was delicious! I enjoyed the sweetness of it. I’m visiting from out of town but I can’t wait to come back!

    Has been awhile since I have been here. I had a chance to do date night with my wife as we had the evening free. Decided to go early to beat the crowds but at 5:20pm on a Saturday it had a line out the door. Turns out there was a kiddie band playing at the Atlantis Lounge next door. Luckily we got a table. We ended up ordering a 16-in gluten free pizza along with a Caesar salad and two drinks. The pizza was great and they do bake it in a gluten free only oven in the back of the restaurant away from the regular pizza ovens that are up front. Took about 30 minutes but they were busy. The salad was also good but i think the small could have served two people and we were talked into a large but it was good none the less. We were only able to finish half of the pizza and took the rest of it home. It was your classic thin crust pizza but it was very good.

    Not the absolute best pizza I’ve had but it was pretty good pizza. Good value for how much you get.

    A great little lounge with booths and tables accessible to all. Bar is in the back, stage /music/entertainment in the front. Connected to a great thin crust pizza place. Nice and friendly. Good line up of talent!
