Recently, Zapapizza opened offering Mexican inspired flavor combinations and pan pizza in downtown Portland. The thick crust pizzas also come in traditional combos like cheese, pepperoni, sausage and peppers, and a vegan pie of the day – but I would recommend trying out the Mexican pan pizza flavors.
Being a patron of Zapapizza is also helping the world while enjoying your pizza. If you bring a winter coat or heavy sweater to donate to the homeless, you can get a free slice of pizza (they will also accept other warm clothing so feel free to bring gloves, socks, etc. too). And, as part of their regular doing business a minimum of 10% of their profits are going to charities serving Mexican and Hispanic communities.
One thing that impressed me is that typically when you order pan pizza you are ordering the whole pizza – Zapapizza offers it by the slice as well. This means you can easily order different kinds of slices up to try. I highly recommend the Taquito pizza (vegetarian) that is a combo of Cheese, Green Sauce, Sour Cream, Avocado Salsa, Cilantro, Pico de Gallo, and a Potato & Cheese Taquito per Slice. That’s right, there is a potato and cheese taquito on every slice!
Or, their Mexican twist on the pepperoni, aka the Zaparoni, takes the regular pepperoni and adds Pickled Jalapeños, Queso Fresco, and Avocado for only 50 cents more a slice – so why wouldn’t you? The pickled jalapenos especially bring a nice balance of a little sour and spice to the crispy pepproni bowls on the pizza.
I mean just look at that cheesy crust… Other intriguing combinations include a White Pie (vegetarian) boasting roasted green chiles, a Papas & Chorizo with chorizo and french fries, and more. On weekends only, a special combo is available – the Chile Relleno (vegetarian) with Cheese, Red Sauce, Chile Relleno, Ranchera Sauce, Queso Fresco, and Cilantro. Other offerings includes vegetarian Caeser salad, smoked hot wings, etc.
Zapapizza is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. They are also available for delivery via Caviar.
Are you a fan of pan pizza, or what would be your ultimate Mexican pizza if you were going to build one?
