Baby Doll Pizza, named after a topless bar in Manhattan, is a New York–style pizzeria with two locations in Portland, Oregon. The original restaurant operates on Stark Street in thesoutheast Portland portion of theKerns neighborhood.[1] In 2018, Nick Woo ofEater Portland wrote, "In this laid-back, casual spot with pinball machines and checkerboard flooring, pizza is available by the slice or as a whole pie. The thin crust has a crispy bottom, and toppings are made in-house including the sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. Adjoining a full bar, the draft list runs about 12 deep with about 30 bottle choices. It’s also open late to satisfy any 2 a.m. pizza cravings."[2] In 2021, the website's Rachel Pinsky said, "Enthusiastic twenty-somethings in overalls and tie dye serve pepperoni pies, sandwiches, and squares from this popular pizza spot frequented byCentral Catholic students and SE Stark neighbors",[3] and Nathan Williams wrote, "This is comfort food pizza intended to accompany the deep tap list of Baby Doll’s adjoining bar. Chessboard floor tile, pinball machines, black leather booths, and low-hung lighting gives the dining roomDavid Lynch meetsTim Burton vibes."[4]
