Lovely's Fifty Fifty

Dylan Gaus

Lovely's Fifty Fifty is an excellent place for a fun and upbeat dinner with friends. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and balances sophistication with a sense of belonging. They offer a variety of nuanced appetizers that complement the exceptional pizzas that follow. The sausage and fennel pizza (pictured) and the kale and eggplant pizza come highly recommended. :) And for dessert, homemade ice cream with a variety of unique flavor combinations feels like a less whacky and more authentic version of Salt & Straw. I highly recommend Lovely's for anyone trying to get a taste of what Portland's food scene is all about, and I'll definitely be returning soon.

Passing thru we dropped in for dinner on 5/7/22. Service was decent and acceptable. We ordered the spring greens salad with hazelnuts that was so good we ordered another! Then on to the asparagus pizza that was very good but not great enough for 5 stars. All in all a good experience and would definitely go back if in the area.

I'm so sorry, I know this place is beloved. I just don't agree. Specifically, the dough/crust -- for me -- tastes like bitter cardboard. It's beyond bland, and I cannot understand why people think this pizza is so good. There is also -- and we've been to this place several dozen times (my husband loves them) -- a sadly limited amount of cheese on 90 percent of their pizzas. We recently got the mushroom pizza, which was amazingly garlicky and delicious, as far as sauce and toppings go. But the greens were sandy. You have to wash your greens thoroughly. Lovely's gets a ton of business, so I'm sure it was about a rush and lack of time. Maybe let your greens soak and spin them dry? On the other hand, Lovely's gets at least three stars for their red sauce. The sauce is delicious. Amazing, lots of oregano and complexity. Beautiful. Apologies and respect to the owners. There are obviously a lot of people who disagree with me. I just know I'll have to be back soon and would be thrilled to see you guys play with a different crust.

This is the quintessential Portland Gourmet pizza experience. A must try, at least once in your life 😄
