    Absolutely amazing experience! Had lunch here while exploring Portland and we LOVED IT! Brandon is an amazing server and bartender - an expert at crafting exquisite cocktails. With over 10 years of experience, he knows the importance of how to peel citrus so that the pith doesn't bitter the drink. The breadsticks are made with the Detroit style pizza dough. They are awesome, especially when dipped in their home-made red sauce. All our entrees were large portions and absolutely incredible. My Detroit style pizza is one of the very best I've ever had - and I eat a LOT of pizza. Lots of topping and the best red sauce I can remember. I'd love to take a jar of it home with me. The handmade meatballs were huge and very flavorful. The entire experience was OUTSTANDING and I can't wait to come back again!

    Such a great vibe! The lighting and structure gave great ambiance and the service was great. My gluten free pizza was delicious and my husband’s Detroit style was crazy good (so he tells me). So glad I found this on Yelp to visit!

    This was our first time at The Star Portland. We were very pleased with the friendly staff and service. Some in our group have dietary restrictions (GF, DF, food sensitivity) and the menu had options available for each of us. We will definitely return to The Star Portland.

    Excellent food as always! We started with a large Caesar salad and an order of the Cheesy Garlic Dippers - do not sleep on those dippers! They are always absolutely amazing! Then we had a large Old School, Detroit Style. It was great, though I prefer the Deep Dish crust, we wanted to try something different. All delicious, and the service was impeccable!

    Missed both good NY pizza and Chicago deep dish pizza since moving to the NW. The deep dish pizza here is great, as was the service. Will have to try their thin crust pizza sometime. Their Detroit pizza was very good.

    Service very slow. Didn’t seem to have enough help. Services were rushing from table to table. Bet it’s worse in the kitchen. At least 40 minutes to get our food and then the pizza was mediocre at best. Won’t go there again!
