Description

Great traditional pizza is everywhere. But there is only one Lovely’s Fifty Fifty. Flavors you don’t associate with pizza march across the chewy sourdough crust. A spring pie mingled taleggio cheese and stinging nettle leaves, which bike-riding owner Sarah Minnick foraged that morning in, of all places, Forest Park. A diner once spotted her milling about the urban park’s bushes: “Is that you, Chef Minnick?” No wonder Italian pizza master Franco Pepe is a fan. This is pizza on its own mountaintop, in its own conversation, with a distinct taste of place. Throw in some wildflowers and Portland weird. Netflix’s Chef’s Table: Pizza devotes an entire episode to the Minnick way. The ice cream is just as good.
