What I love about......
The turning peel pizza dough is sourdough naturally leavened for 3 days. Sourdough is easier to digest and much healthier for your body. And it gives that flavor you cannot resist.
Airy rim and thin crust: the AVPN has a standard for Neapolitan pizza. The dough ball weight should be around 260g for an 11" pizza and cooked for 60-90s. The turning peel follows the AVPN standard.
The turning peel pizza has a deliciously chewy, yet crunchy texture. A thin crust that can surprisingly withhold the toppings.

Lunch Special
We are doing a $ 9 Margherita special for a 11"pizza on week day
Free Pizza Bread
When we have leftover pizza dough, we turn them into pizza bread next day.
Zero waste and freshly bake daily for grab!
The sourdough pizza bread taste good slice thin with brie and salami or perfect to have it with soup.
Vegan pizza
We use a house made tofu and cashew based ricotta cheese
Then we finished with a super tasty vegan parmesan
Almost all our pizza can be made Vegan
My favorite vegan pizza is truffle mushroom <3
How it began...
During the pandemic, I started "bao bao", my sourdough starter. I kept experimenting with different hydration, discard, and leaven - loaf after loaf. I loved sharing my bread with friends and neighbors and enjoyed seeing their smiles. Touching the dough is so therapeutic for me, I just could not stop. After baking bread with over thousand pounds of flour, I started my Neapolitan pizza journey.
Open Hours
Time: Wed-Sun: 11:30am-3pm and 5-8:30pm
Location: 4546 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97201
I can't wait to serve you with the turning peel Neapolitan pizza and beer/wine/cocktails at a price that you will be happy with.
Past farmers market
While we are getting the space ready, we are also doing a lot of pizza testing. Different hydration, mixing, fermentation, different toppings. Experimenting with vegan cheese, trying vegan options. (Not yet gluten free, sorry, maybe one day). We are in the Peoples Co-op farmers market every Wednesday 2-7pm. Come join us and give us your candid feedback.

Menu as captured Sep 1, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 296 venues in Portland, OR and could score 46 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
