Pieology Pizzeria

Pieology gets it right with the wood oven fast food style pizza. I have always seen nothing but fresh ingredients, separated nothing spilled into one bin or overflowing into the next bin.
This location always has multiple people working. Seems like a lot of activity and keeps the line moving. I am not the biggest fan of the take your order then sit down style restaurant but in this case they pull it off. You are ordering a Pizza after all. It takes about 7 – 10 minutes from the time you pay get your drinks and sit down at a table for your pizza to arrive.
Also special consideration is given for Gluten Free customers. Care is given to make sure no cross contamination occurs. Employees ask to change gloves, change brush and use new spoon for the sauce. Pretty awesome that they are trained that way and you as a customer dont have to beg and get that look you can at other restaurants.
Delicious pizza thin crust with the wood fire crispiness. Its enough for one person to eat and be full or to make into two separate meals. My daughter and I split one and my 14 year old ate his entire pizza. To give you a good idea.
The offerings of toppings seem to cover almost anything you could think of. Their menu offers multiple choices of combinations they have already thought of. I would only caution that it is a thin crust pizza. So, multiple toppings that cause water vegetables for example will probably leave your crust a little soggy. I had four toppings on mine and no problem but I could see how it could be an issue with say five or more toppings. I like the thin crust and am aware of that issue so I didnt push the number of toppings.
Definitiely a good pizza stop for the family. Be ready to order a pie for each person. Definitely more than 10 dollar per person trip. Worth the quality.

Pieology did a pretty dang good job on their gluten free pizza. I love that there is unlimited toppings there, cause no one likes being skimped on toppings.
I will definitely be back to Pieology for the value, but their meat just seems ok, sort of like the Subway for pizza.
I can’t complain though, because for the value, I’m really glad this place exists.
I think I will stick to vegetarian pizza myself when I’m there though, because there are just so many pizza places with amazing meats.
I recommend you try it for yourself though. Great place to go when you’re on a budget and want pizza.

We stopped in while in staying just outside of Portland for the night, as we were looking for a quick dinner where dress could be gym clothes. I read the reviews on Pieology and decided to stop in. I ordered the Smokin’ Barbeque Chicken and my fiancé got the Mad to Meat You. Both were good and the size was perfect for a single person. Maybe even to share depending on how hungry you are. The Smokin’ Barbeque Chicken had some heat, which was nice, but was really lacking on toppings. As for my fiancé pizza, he had to ask the staff to add more toppings that were included, as what the staff put on were a bit skimpy. They obliged without hesitation. Once the pizza was thrown in the fire and came out, the crust was perfect and cheese was bubbly.
Personally, I feel if you can get unlimited toppings on a $ 7.95 pizza and toppings are generous, the same generous portion of toppings should be given to the Specialty Pizza Selection.
It’s a great concept similar to Chipotle, but for pizza instead of Burritos. I’d come back again, if in the area and need a quick bite, but would definitely ask for them to add more chicken or other toppings if the workers were putting on small portions. Try it out, at least once.

You can get any pizza you want at Pieology and they’re all the same price, $ 7.95. They have some specialties on the menu you can choose from, or you can custom build your own pizza with whatever you want to put on it. It’s simple, you follow your pizza along the counter as it’s being made and tell them what ingredients you want to add to it, just like a sandwich at Subway. I really like seeing and choosing the exact toppings I want. Also, it’s nice that they have just plain olive oil available as a base to brush on to the crust because I wanted to try a pizza that didn’t have any heavy sauce like marinara or Alfredo. I also love their super thin crust which has a perfect combination of crispness and chewiness. The dining area is neat and tidy. The service is fast and efficient.. .after you’ve «built» your pizza and paid at the counter, they bring it to your table when it’s ready. I pretty much like everything about Pieology.

This is the Subway of pizza. You do get a lot of choice in terms of toppings and the pies come out quickly, but there is far better pizza around, even a short drive away.

I had never been to a Pieology before, and I am from Southern California — where they are super popular! So, when my son and I finished shopping and realized we needed dinner, we went here. I had been to other places like this (Pizza Press in Anaheim, CA, Pizzasmith in Tigard, OR, etc.), so I understood the concept. My son and I picked out our toppings together, so it was all random — artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, corn, etc. We finished it together, and it was good. The thing that was not good was the service. I felt like I was interrupting something. The employees were all happy and laughing until they had to help a customer. Then, it was all «yeah,» and «okay,» and silence. They went back to the fun as soon as they could talk and interact with each other again. When we walked up to the beginning of the pizza making process, there was no greeting. There was no smile. There was pretty much nothing besides asking me what I want to order. When our pizza was brought to our table, I politely said, «Thank you,» as I always do. I did not get a «You’re welcome,» or «It’s my pleasure,» or not even an «Anytime.» Overall, ehhh? I don’t really want to go where I’m not wanted.

I love this place now. I get to be the one in charge of my pizza as they make it right in front of me.. I get to choose the sauce and toppings… oh, and they have gluten free crust that is really tasty! I added garlic to my pizza and it had changed my world! Fired and roasted to perfection! Yum!

We recently visited the Pieology at the Clackamas town Center location and it was our first visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the pizza and liked that you could choose any items you like and create your own style. Pizza crust was thin and baked well and I enjoyed it.

Loved Pieology in So Cal, but the Clackamas/​Happy Valley location was the most disappointing of all the fast-​fired pizza places I’ve ever tried. The culprit was the crust. Four of us split three pizzas and all three had soggy, wet, and limp crust as if it was undercooked or the mixture was way off.
We tried a Chicken Pesto Pizza, a Spicy Whole Shabang Pizza, and a Sausage & Peppers Pizza. Three strikes and your out.
The thin flat discs ended up not tasting or feeling like pizza, but more like soft and soggy plates to serve melted cheese & toppings. As the fast-​food and quick-​baked pizza craze continues to spread, it is easy to compare versions, tastes, and textures. This Pieology Pizzeria was the worst and we haven’t been back despite its convenience and my general need for pizza to stay alive.

I think everyone gets a bit excited when they think of pizza. This place is basically a low end pizza place. Dough is average to below average. Toppings are low end mass produced whatever. If you like McDonald’s and taco bell then you will love this place.
Ordered a margherita pizza and it reminded me of that scene in good fellas. .order spaghetti and marinara sauce get noodles and ketchup lol

My visit to Oregon,
This is one of my favorites!
This is the place that I will never forget about, I will always go back on my next visit, great memories when I look at photos & think back how badly I want to go to Pieology again!
Thank you to my daughter & her BF for recommending this place.
She left for Oregon the week before my visit & she sent me a text,
Exact text: «This place is awesome! We must go!!»
I was thinking, its just pizza, why so excited!
OM, she is right! I felt the same way she felt, after eating here.
This place is really cool!
Located at the front of Clakamas Mall.
This place is fairly new!
I love the concept!
Its like a Subway but Pizza style,
You order at the counter,
get your number,
& they will bring your pizza order to your table.
It comes to your table, hot, fresh, & just ready to eat!
just one price for unlimited toppings, any toppings at all,
ONE PRICE! How cool is that!
& are you ready for this???
Not only one price, its also so cheap!

The pies are huge!

I really recommend Pielogy to anyone/​everyone who is visiting Oregon or Oregonians!
(so lucky!!) Please think of me when you are enjoying your pies!

Shopping at REI and we wanted to grab some food before we went off on our adventures for the day. I thought the pizza was good but not fantastic, there was an extensive selection of toppings. I got the BBQ Chicken (I think) and it was good. Pretty fast too. I like the thinner crust so I can eat more without feeling like a bloated pig.

Duh, It’s the best pizza ever. I could eat it every day. I just want to fill up a swimming pool full of Pieology and take a bath in it, intermittently grazing and taking naps. Am I obsessed… maybe? But Pizza is the best food ever created, scientifically. I call my heaping pile of Italian perfection «The Mother Lover» cause its both the mother of all pizzas and a meat and veggie lover all in one. You can thank me later. 10 out 5 stars!

Pleasantly surprised! It’s super affordable fast food pizza made how you want it. The crust is thin and crispy and there are plenty of options for toppings and sauce. There’s no reason you can’t leave happy. I would do this again in a heart beat. Especially on a lunch break or with my kids.

They were 1 minute late opening the door, but I’m not going to deduct for that.
They are my favorite, of course as all Pieology Pizzerias, you get to pick any toppings you’d like.
Since we were the 1^st ones in, the inside should be spik & span, right? Meaning: no crumbs on tables, chairs, floor. Wrong! I can count how many crumbs on the chair next to me, where I laid my purse, on tables, and floors!
While waiting for our pizza, my husband decided to go use the Restroom. I told him, to check it out for me, I’ll take his word for it. He said they’re clean! But he didn’t know there are seats with a view, where we could keep an eye on our new car! So, we moved. The next table was STICKY & GUMMY. The floors are also dirty.
The cashier who rung up our order WASHN’T AT ALL FRIENDLY!
We came for the food, sorry, I’m one of the UnilocalER’S Worst Criticizers! You learned all that, when you major in Hospitality & Tourism Management.

Five people. Five pizzas.
Sauce is poured from a plastic squeeze bottle with the same consistency, quantity and flavor of ketchup on a burger.
The employees adorned our pizzas with ingredients with the same care as the 400 lbs pit-​stained lunch lady hags in the institutional slop line in elementary school.
Ptthhhhhup, pthuuuup! Here’s your sauce, a-​hole. What, you want more than THAT? I usually only do two squeezes.
Schlop! There’s your pile of peppers!
Plonk! There’s your two basil leaves.
Can I please have more? Two more leaves added. Can I please have more? Two more leaves added. Can I please have some more? Two more leaves added. Until, after asking 50 times, you can eventually get half your pizza covered in mediocre ingredients while a huge backlog of people rolls their eyes and taps their feet impatiently. When we were at the back of the line we wondered what was taking so long. Now I know.
I would call it the «Subway» of pizza, but in as much as comparisons can be drawn, Subway has better product. Same process though. Subway’s genius is the foolproof system that can plug any 14 year old, bleary-​eyed, slack-​jawed, drooling wastoid into the sandwich factory machine and have them make a decent footlong while they’re high.
Not here. Not yet. It’s too round fellas. That’s what’s confusing you. Make it football shaped.
The wood-​fired oven seemed like the most reliable chef here. It’s always-​opened mouth stood ready to service our dough.
Ewwwwww. That sounds way nastier than I intended.
Even the fire-​mouth, the one reliable piece to this ramshackle, poorly executed gimmick, couldn’t get it right.
Five pizzas ordered. Five burnt pizzas delivered to our table. We could smell the char even before they were set beside us. Apparently, the employee who gave it to us could neither smell nor see nor care about the burnt, aborted monstrosities he provisioned us with.
This is the kind of thing that will be trendy for five minutes, then disappear overnight when people realize that they can get bad pizza from a dozen other chains in town. If it had been done right, pieology could have been a major player, but it takes more than a wood oven and a slop line to make a decent pizza.

My Biology Says No to Pieology… ugh!
First time customer, and I went based on the great reviews and encouragement from several work associates. Perhaps it was an off day or wrong place and the wrong time but I wasn’t happy.
It was Friday, and about dinner time at 6pm so they were starting to get busy, and I’ll admit I was a bit out of sink having not been before. I told the guy on sauce duty this was my first trip in, and there was no regard for me at all or any help. I opted to build my own veggie pizza and away we went.
Some positives here. I truly love the idea of this place. Fast, thin crispy pizza piled high with toppings cooked in a flash fire oven in 5 minutes for $ 8. Now I’ve been to the place where pizza was invented in Naples, Italy and they still work the line the same way all these years later and the concept is the same here. They’ve adopted it from the masters. It’s also very clean inside, and a lot of care is placed on getting you in and out efficiently without making you feel rushed.
The issue here is execution. after I’d finished my topping selection, they put my pie in the oven, and I assumed I was supposed to pay next. I stood by the cash register with no employee around, no help, and no clue how to get my pizza. Do I wait here and they hand it to me, do I wait at a table? Finally several minutes later an employee asked me if I needed anything and I explained the situation. I said I’d be glad to pay but there was nobody here. She had no clue what pizza was mine (stick number I think they call it), and had to stop the line and figure out where they were at and which one to ring me up. Finally it got sorted, I paid, got my number, and sat down to wait.
Pizza was so so for a fast food pie. I love the selections, but with such a thin crust and being so oily even before the toppings, the cheese and everything just slides off. Basically I was left with an $ 8 watery mess. Could have been so much better.
While I’m not against trying this place one more time, I’d like to see some changes. There needs to be better training, and a clear manager on duty. It seemed like a bunch of new employees with no leader. A shame, because a place like this could really thrive, and keep me coming back.

Oh man. The Chipotle of pizza… what a fantastic idea. For about 8 singles, you can order a 11 inch pizza here that’s good enough for two. I had a great experience here with awesome customer service.
Working down the beltline, you get to watch your pizza freshly made from the gooey dough, to the multiple options of sauces, cheeses, and toppings. As many toppings as you want, all for the same price. Pile it high!
What’s really great about this place is the options. There truely is an overwhelming amount of options of toppings to choose from. Also not to forget, after being cooked, the pizza is DELICIOUS.
When I ate here I went with my friend who recently returned from a trip to Italy, and with how thin and crisp the pizza turns out at Piology, she mentioned that this was the closest pizza she has had in the US to authentic Italian pizza.
Pieology deserves some credit for that.

I gave this place four stars since this was my first time eating here.
Customer Service, food quality and speed of the order was based on four stars.
Personal pizza for $ 8 bucks. Any toppings you want. I had many toppings and it was tasty. Thin crust.
Not the best pizza I’ve had but overall, good.
Coke Products. Clean restaurant located near the parking lot of Clackamas Town Center mall.

I know I’m probably not the first to say this but this place is like the Subway for pizza restaurants.
There is a flat rate of around 8 dollars for a personal 11 inch pizza and you choose what toppings you want. They have recommendations on how to make certain pizzas like a BBQ chicken etc.
Overall the price was great and you’ll be plenty full with one and have leftovers if you load it up. I personally loaded mine up with all the meats but next time i would exclude the spicy chicken. It just didn’t go with the rest of the meats.
