This is such a special place. It was my second time coming, we were 5 and just about got the whole food menu. Default everything is gluten and dairy free. You don’t need it here. The service in very good from the host to all of the staff serving. You can really tell how proud the staff is of this restaurant, it just lights up in each of them and it’s so warming to see. The food is incredible. All kinda of unique flavors that wow you. The menu changes (not sure how often- seasonally maybe?) and our fav this time was the duck. Honestly a must go restaurant for a fun experience. Thank you Kann what all of the passion put into this. I’m so glad I get to tell people about this incredible restaurant. It’s truly such a fun experience.

High-quality cakes & muffins, with lots of vegan & gluten free options. Whole cakes to order and ready to go. Large choice of by the slice cakes. Eclectic and understated exterior and interior ambiance. On a busy avenue, but easy parking on the adjacent side streets. Nice seating area inside. Not a coffee shop, but they do serve a single choice of drip brew if you’re not picky.

Great gluten free option for Detroit style pizza

I really wanted to love Via Chicago, especially as someone managing both gluten and dairy allergies. I built my own medium pizza with the gluten-free crust and the vegan cheese combo (Daiya and tofu ricotta). Unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark for me. The crust was thinner and a bit tougher than expected (definitely not worthy of the Chicago style title), but the biggest issue was the cheese… It was so heavy and overpowering that it completely overshadowed the rest of the pizza. Being from Chicago, I fully understand that Chicago style pizza has a lot of cheese, but when you’re working with alternative cheeses, certain alterations need to be made because they simply DO NOT cook the same as regular cheese options. The texture ended up being more slimy than satisfying, and there was more cheese than crust. There was actually more cheese than anything else, including the toppings that I added (pepperoni, pineapple and supposedly onion, but I didn’t see or taste that on the pizza) Ultimately, I understand that allergy-friendly options are often more expensive, but when I’m paying $35 for a medium pizza, I at least hope I’ll want to eat the leftovers. Sadly, that wasn’t the case here. While I appreciate the effort to offer gluten-free and vegan options, I don’t think I’ll be returning. If you’re looking for great gluten-free and vegan pizza in Portland, I’d highly recommend Boxcar instead, they do it Detroit style and they do it right!
