September
Andiamo Pizzeria, 672 S. Gaines St. #1 | Pizza
This brand new South Waterfront restaurant serves up wood fired pizza with a global twist: flavors are pulled from destinations including Italy, India, Pakistan, and Thailand. We can’t wait to try the Pakistano, which features garlic cream sauce, tandoori chicken, cilantro, peppers, and a sriracha glaze.
Pamana, 15 NW 4th Ave. | Filipino
The founders of Baon Kainan — which won Eater Portland’s Best New Cart award in 2021 — opened earlier this month inside Old Town’s Hoxton hotel. The residency is only open for six months, so hurry if you want to try dishes like these.
