#76: Blind Onion Pizza & Pub

What is there not to say about this pizza joint?!  I'm obsessed, that is the only way to put it simply.  I don't like to consider myself a pizza connoisseur because I'm about as boring as they come with my pizza preferences.  I am on the search for the best cheese pizza.  In my opinion, this is the hardest pizza to make.  The ingredients are few and they have to count.  

This said, Blind Onion Pizza has the BEST cheese pizza I've had in Portland hands down.  They know how to do the classics well and I'm never disappointed.  They work with amazing ingredients, and don't get me started on their  crust (the crust HAS to be amazing or you haven't sold me, sorry).  My husband loves their pepperoni pizza ("It's got a good spice to it," he says), and we drive 45 minutes to go to it.  Anytime were in Vancouver, WA we visit Blind Onion.  We are that committed people!  

There is a location in NE Portland off Broadway.  I've never visited that location, but I've heard there are two separate owners, one for the Washington locations and one for the Oregon locations.  Do they make their pizza differently in Portland now after the split?  I can't answer this question!  My only sadness is that there isn't a Blind Onion near me.

PS.  Fred is the name of their onion (yes, their onion).  If your name is Fred, you will receive a discount on the price of draft beer anytime.  Lucky.....
