Portland Pie Company

Update 2020. They have gotten there act back together. We continue to bring friends and relatives from-away there and they are never disappointed with the meals.nnThe food is great, a 5 star for sure. We go there (Scarborough) often and our friends and family from away usually ask to go there when they are up visiting. Be careful, however, when you buy gift certificates online at Christmas. Don't do it online; do it in person at the restaurant. They usually offer $5 free for every $25 purchased. But........ in the last year, we have twice tried to redeem the free $5 ones only to find out they were already marked as a zero balance (out $10) . We never ask for redeemed cards back and just leave them with the waitstaff, so there is no way we could be giving them one that we already used. Thus, I would recommend that you ask the cashier to check each and every certificate after you buy them to make sure that they are truly activated.nnUpdate: (12/16/17) Scarborough, again! The food is still a 5 but the service last night was a zero to a one. It was a Saturday; it was a week before Christmas; and there was a big sale going on at the major retail store, the draw to that shopping plaza. Was there ample service staff on hand to handle the crowd? NO! Was this the first pre-Christmas week that we experienced this lack of service? NO! If this was our first experience at PP, it would have been our last. Over 2 hours to get menus, beverages, our meal, and the check. The restaurant was half full when we arrived but we had to wait before we could be seated as all the open tables were cluttered with prior guests dirty plates, utensils, napkins, etc. They are called busboys or busgirls, eh! We had a guest with us so we stayed; otherwise we would have left as we could see a rerun of the past Christmas visit. We felt soooo bad for the young couple near us, with a baby. Did you ever try to keep a baby patient for over an hour before you get your food. We truly hope that management corrects this and stays on top of their game. Poor service does not foster return customers.

While the close location to our house is great, our server Blair really makes our visits special. Portland Pie is SO LUCKY to have her on their staff!!nnEvery time we show up, I take forever to look over the menu, change my order at least once and ask a million questions. Needless to say, I’m not a server’s favorite customer... Yet Blair (who seems to get our table every time) is always so kind, patient, and clearly dedicated to making sure her tables are well taken care of.nnPublic service announcement: Get to Portland Pie in Scarborough and ask for Blair!!

Excellent pizza! Some appetizers are really great too, dessert was a bit of a let down. Atmosphere was cleaner then its Portland location, could be cleaner but not horrible. If you ask me

Awesome food

Absolutely FANTASTIC experience. Food was phenomenal but even better was our server, John. Absolutely excellent at his job very welcoming and warming. 10/10 almost asked him to be the best man at my wedding and I don’t even have a girlfriend yet!
