Portland Pie Company
While we were out two weekends ago, She and I stopped into Portland Pie Company on Fore Street for a few slices. We’d previously eaten at the Westbrook location, which is much larger than the Portland location, and liked what we’d had, so we figured it was worth another stop. We were right. Though the Portland store is pretty small (seating for maybe 18 people), the atmosphere is what a hometown pizza joint should be. The specialty pizzas were quite good, and they had a decent variety of beer and soft drinks as well.
I had The Downeast, their version of buffalo chicken pizza, and loved it. She tried The Great Diamond (garlic, olive oil, vine ripe tomatoes, feta, and fresh basil, no red sauce) and was similarly impressed. Unfortunately, the slice of regular old pepperoni that I had wasn’t nearly as good. Their red sauce was unimpressive. However, if you’re into somewhat non-traditional pizzas, you should definitely stop at Portland Pie (perhaps on your was to Uná or Brian Boru?) and sample their specials for the day. You won’t be disappointed.
