I?m so happy I found this place! Checkerboard Pizza is my new go-to pizza place in Portland. Probably the best I?ve ever had! ... The service is always friendly and Pine Street Market (where they?re located) is fun to visit. Try calling and ordering aheadof time or use the Caviar app (for both pickup or delivery options) to skip the line if you want a full pizza. Checkerboard?ssauce and dough are the best I?ve had hands down. Always so fresh, thin, light and crispy. Delicious! The Brooklyn is awesomeif you like sweet and spicy flavors and the sausage pizza is something special. Pepperoni is great, too. You can?t go wrongwith any of their pies! Read more
Picked up two 18" pizzas; a Margherita and pineapple and pepperoni. This was on a Saturday around 2 pm and it was EXTREMELY busy... in Pine Street Market. For those who don't know, Pine Street Market is like an elevated food court with high end food offeringsand open table seating. We couldn't find seating so my friend and I decided to have a tailgate party in the parking lot (hencethe lousy pictures taken in the back of his Subaru). Parking is also dicey around that area, especially on the weekend withSaturday Market. The pizzas cost $22 for the Margherita and $30 for the pineapple and pepperoni for a grand total of $52. Theyalso offer 12" pizzas, pizza by the slice and they also deliver. The Margherita had a very strong basil flavor in sauce and themozzarella was fresh and delicious. I just wish there was a just a bit more mozzarella sprinkled on the pie. The pepperoni andpineapple was great, but I feel it's kind of steep at $30. The sauce didn't have a strong basil flavor, but it was a sweettomato sauce that I like. The toppings were plentiful but not overkill. The star that shines for these pies is the crust. Aslight chew with a light and crunchy outside. The inside is soft and almost pillowy. It's seriously the best pizza crust I'veencountered. Overall, if you're down at the waterfront I'd pick up a slice or if you want leftovers and feel the price won'thurt your wallet, go for an 18". It's the best pizza I've had downtown thus far.

By far the best pizza in Portland. They put emphasis on the crust with simple toppings. I would recommend a slice of Brooklyn.... So good even without the capicola. This pizza has ruined me for all other pizzas. Good folks and great slices. Read more
I rarely rate places lower than 4 stars. All I can say is that I got the sausage slice which LOOKED amazing. However the taste... left something to be desired. The sauce just tasted like marinara and the slice was smaller than what I get at any other spot. The cheese was uneven and only covered about half the slice. The crust was incredible, but this was NOT New York style. Thisis in its own category. I?d say the crust was closer to something of a baguette, just much thinner. It flaked and came apart. Nothing wrong with it as it tasted great, however again, this is not NY style. All that to say, the slice as good, but it leftme disappointed. I?d easily go to Straight from New York over this spot if you want real NY style pizza. Read more

I did a back to back pizza slice eating day. Checkerboard has by far the best slices in Portland. It's gotta be the best slice... I've ever had, actually. Great slightly charred crust, perfect tomato sauce & funky cheese with a little bit of a bite to it.5/5, easy. Read more
