This is one of my favorites place to get pizza!
from their website:
"Fino is a 62-seat, locally owned, neighborhood bistro, bar & pizzeria, located in North Portland's historic Kenton district. The restaurant has 2 distinct personalities. Up front is the take-out counter where you can get your pizza to go (slices and whole pies) or grab a seat and a cocktail at the intimate bar and order any dish from our extensive menu. Follow the glowing tomato lights down the hallway to arrive at our spacious 48-seat dining room, perfect for date night or dinner with the family. With a décor of plush earth tones, glass mosaics & light fixtures from local artists and heavenly aromas wafting through the air, Fino is a feast for the senses."
