My advice is to go—and go early! The restaurant opens at 4:30 p.m. on Sundays, and by 4:00 p.m. the line was already wrapping around the building. Trust me, it's worth the wait. The pizza is absolutely delicious, the service is top-notch,

Saw lots of reviews for the fennel sausage pizza so we tried it. Sauce was 3.5/5, toppings were fine, but the bread was the star 5/5. First time eating a pizza where I couldn’t wait to get to the crust. Wasn’t sure this was supposed to be a

Outdoor seating was the most perfect spot, and while I got there before they opened, there was a long line and I ended up outside. Get there early, pitch a tent, defend your square and get you some of this pizza, it is that good.

Really good pizza. Came here with my son and some friends. Got here 15 minutes after opening and all the tables were taken so we sat at the bar. Really friendly bar staff who were helpful answering questions and making recommendations.

One of the best pizza restaurants anywhere! On our CA, OR, WA road trip to visit five national parks, we dined and stayed in Portland, specifically to hit two pizza restaurants, with Ken's Artisan Pizza being one of them.

We been wanting to try this pizza since we moved here! We will be back! It was absolutely delicious, not just the pizza but the brussels sprouts and the roasted beets were like nothing we've ever tasted.

Wanted to place an order to pick-up on my way to the airport. The woman was unprofessional and even when I silenced for a minute, hoping she may realize how unreasonable she was being, she acted as if my request to pick up as late as possible was a burden.

We wanted to try Ken's as it had been rated so highly for pizza. Other people also must have wanted to eat there on a Tuesday evening because we had to wait to be seated for around 45 minutes.

This is actually for Ken’s in Bend. Same company different location but for some weird reason not on trip advisor. Anyway we have been waiting to go here because we were intimidated by the lore of long lines. We braved it today and actually got right in at opening. We were shocked! Great experience, food and drinks were lovely. We can see what the hype is about. Pictured: gin and tonic, prosciutto pizza with added burrata and the sausage and onion pizza.Read more

Really good pizza. Came here with my son and some friends. Got here 15 minutes after opening and all the tables were taken so we sat at the bar. Really friendly bar staff who were helpful answering questions and making recommendations. Even offered to close the window by the bar if I was too cold. Who offers that?? Incredible. Pizza was great. Bar staff recommended an ice cream down the street for dessert. We didn't listen and got dessert here. Should have taken his advice bc the affogato was not good. Go for the pizza.Read more

One of the Best Pizza Restaurants Anywhere! On our CA, OR, WA road trip to visit five national parks, we dined and stayed in Portland, specifically to hit two pizza restaurants, with Ken's Artisan Pizza being one of them. Plan on getting there early, putting your name in, and waiting for a good hour, if not longer. Street parking is available, and you can wander around as you wait for your table to be ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Why this place? At the time this writer went there, it was #43 on the list of Top Pizzerias in the World. You can look that up to see where the restaurant falls on the list at the moment. Anyhow, we have been to quite a few of the pizza establishments on the Top Pizzerias in the World list, and this was another nice one. We sat at the bar/ counter which allowed us quicker seating. I'm a fan of sitting at a counter, anyway, and watching the magic happen. The pizza oven was right behind us, and we turned around on our seats and watched as the pizzas came out. A gentleman sliced each pizza and gave each one the nod before the servers would bring it out. One pizza appeared in front of him with large, black blisters on the crust. We wondered what he would do. He knew we were unabashedly staring at him, not that it really mattered. He sent out a few other pizzas and let that one sit there. After a moment, he called over three people, gestured at the pizza and offered some words too quiet for us to hear. After he dispatched with the people and they returned to their posts, he folded the pizza in half and slid it into the trash bin. What a sorrowful sight. Of course we don't like waste, but good for him for turning this into a teaching moment for the staff. And good for him for only delivering quality pizzas to his customers. My salad was excellent, and as expected, the pizza crusts were really good and soft. Mid-range prices. Really hopping wait staff. They were moving. Nice atmosphere - a beautiful space. I am quite glad we went here.Read more

It was absolutely delicious, not just the pizza but the brussels sprouts and the roasted beets were like nothing we’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend- although the place is very small and gets really packed so be prepared to wait & or get there before they open! Service was great too, especially considering how busy it was! “Italy's 50 Top Pizza, ranking highly in both U.S. and global lists, including being named the 8th best in the U.S. in 2025 and a top global spot, plus earning special awards like the Best Dessert List Award. They are a consistent fixture on these prestigious lists, recognizing their exceptional wood-fired pizzas” https://kensartisan.com/pizzaRead more
