Great Pizza, decently priced and friendly staff. Food came quite quickly, everyone really enjoyed what they had. I personally had the meatball pizza and it was ridiculously good. Can genuinely recommend this place and would come here again.

Great spot!! Be fever on a Friday night without reservations and it wasn’t bad. We got in super fast or food to 15 to 20 minutes so it wasn’t bad. It was super crowded in there yet the server was super attentive to us. The mozzarella itself was amazing and the drinks are great. We were barhopping, so we didn’t I grab more food, but everything looked and smelled great in there. It’s also in the perfect location to go to surrounding bars nearby .

Love the vibe at Porta. They have a great menu and a good selection of beers. Their pizzas are so tasty and our favorite is the carbonara pizza. Thank you Alison for your helpful and friendly hospitality!

This was a venue for a wrap party from a movie I worked on. I was so glad I went because the pizza there is worth traveling for! I would love to know how they make the dough for their pizza, absolutely amazing! Also the staff was very professional and the bartenders made outstanding cocktails. I’m definitely headed back for an experience as a regular customer.

Porta is the go-to for delicious, wood-fired pizza and a chill vibe. The crust is spot on—chewy, crispy, just right—and the space is always buzzing. Great for groups, casual hangs, or a fun night out with pizza and drinks. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.
