Tommy’s Pizza Palace

The pizza is just south of average. The grinders are somewhat good but extremely over priced. Delivery and takeout orders always seem to get mixed up.
Simply put. Tommy’s is terrible! It’s really become a stain on this town! They get away with it because it’s the only place around that really delivers.

Worst pizza place ive ever been. Told me 30 mins for my order. Made me wait another 30 mins in store, then tell me my order was never made. This restaurant does not value your time or money. Tell everyone U see in Portland to NOT eat at tommys pizza !!! Can’t give less than 1 star. Just horrible.

Pizza is tasty but honestly, did they drop the pizza in the deep fryer before they put it in the box? I’m used to pizza with grease but this was grease with a side of pizza. I don’t get it. I like this place but lately it’s just been greasy and I question why I even give it another chance

Best pizza in Portland. Sweet sauce that makes the pizza so tasty.
Went tonight for pizza and a salad. Had a bit of sticker shock at how I ended up spending over $ 30 for pizza and salad!

Don’t get me wrong, but Tommy’s pizza is to die for. I have been living in Portland since 1970 and Tommy’s opened in 1968. The pizza’s have not changed in over 40 years. If you were to go back to Tommy’s to relive the experience you expeienced in the 70’s, the sense of atmosphere would be like, you never left
The newly added Bugers are a different story. Lets see if I can make this clear. The buns are oversized, the burgers are over sized (not allowing them to be cooked evenly. The lettuce used in the sandwich is too big. and when you have to have 2 slices of tomatoe to cover the sandwich, it is just TOO big. But the accompanying French Fries or Onion Rings are perfectly cooked. I need THREE hands to be able to eat teh burger correctly. It got so hard to eat, I had to relagate eating it by knife and fork.
So on a scale of 1 – 5: Pizza (6) Burgers (2) for an overall score of 4.

weird. i thought i wrote a review about this place and i got an email from Unilocal HQ that one of my photos of Tommy’s was inappropriate and being removed. So, I have no idea what ll that is about but I do remember the pizza I had when I was here, and you can even see it in my photos — two old reheated slices wrapped in foil. no box. unwrap the foil and a majority of the cheese sticks to the foil. sad slice. I also remember the flies. Oh yes, the flies buzzing around were quite annoying. I wanted to like this place, but the slice was unremarkable. I shop at the neighboring IGA often and would love to have a nearby go-​to slice place, but this is not it. Maybe better if you go for pies.
Tommy’s shares a large parking lot in a strip mall with IGA and a bunch of other stores i dont remember.
Noise level: Quiet, nobody is ever here.
Good For: Cleaning out your intestines.

Excellent Pizza, the best in the area. Prices are extremely high though.

Before I moved to New Haven when I craved pizza, I really craved Tommy’s Pizza.
I worked there for almost the entirety of my senior year of high school and I loved it! They have a reputation for only hiring good-​looking girls for the prep/​waitstaff and a guy or two for delivery… people in town used to go to Tommy’s just to check out the «Tommy’s Girls» :-p
They also have a reputation for being one of the only places in town that delivers and for being one of the higher-​priced places. People come anyway.
And why? Because their sauce is awesome! It’s deliciously sweet and silky and a lot of people like pizza sauce on their pasta & grinders instead of the marinara (which is also quite tasty). The pizza toppings are fresh and numerous. And for a real treat, dip that crust into their house dressing! Yum!
I haven’t had their pastas in a while, but I remember them being tasty. The meatballs are wonderful and hand made and they have some of the tastiest grinders in town. Just beware the veal parm… it tends to be tough. Then again, when I was in Italy it was pretty tough too, so maybe it’s «authentic» (even though it’s a greek restaurant), but nonetheless not the most pleasing.
But Tommy’s gets five stars for putting up with me, for loving me and for feeding me.
