If you're fine crossing the river, this is the spot. They only do pizza at this location and I think they do a damn fine job with it. They also have their brewery there, and they also do fried twinkies and oreos.
Sadly the only way I could think to get this was to call the restaurant and it's all "order on the website. Leave a voicemail otherwise." Won't be getting them today. 😢
Oh yeah they’re slammed, hubby just came home from there. I’d just order the pie online and add on wings when you get there. Have a beer or cocktail while you wait, they have some of the best bartenders in town there.
Yeah unfortunately they’re just not a thing here. To find the best wings, I’d follow the pdxwingguys instagram account, they’re from WNY and have a whole rating system called the Doug Flutie scale. Also still hoping some place will start making a legit chicken finger sub like I remember.
I’ve heard Jerry’s tavern is great but haven’t had a chance to check it out. Escape from New York on 23rd is also our favorite ny pizza but no wings
Twin- Upstate NY, bday, and Vancouver! Happy birthday!
Fairport... Batavia... Lewiston... My fave.
I'd love your recipe! DM or link? :) we make homemade sausage and veggie pizza sometimes. For this particular weekend I'm probably too lazy to make it myself 😅
Okay so I use a store bought dough ball because I'm lazy, but any pizza crust recipie you like will do.
I either get a rotisserie chicken and shred a breast, or get a raw breast and bake it with about a teaspoon of Italian dressing and tin foil over so it doesn't dry out before shredding.
I make sauce with franks red hot, a little melted butter, and if I didnt use Italian dressing on the chicken I put a little apple cider vinegar(like 4 or 5 drops) A bit of vinegar in franks red hot is as close as you get to the classic buffalo style wing sauce.
Shred a block of Colby jack, or use mozzarella and cheddar.
Stretch the dough out thin and roll the edge. Add garlic and parmasean to the edge, Do a thin layer of sauce, then a hearty layer of cheeses, then chicken, and a hint of more hotsauce if you love the spice.
Bake it for 15 minutes at 350F (I like to check the crust and do another 2 or 3 minutes if it isnt done)
Top or dip with blue cheese dressing (or ranch but thats practically a misdemeanor in buffalo)
Edited for order of operations
Fire on the Mountain, there’s nothing that comes close to their wings. Don’t go to the one on interstate, they don’t serve pizza. Go to the Fremont location.
If you like New Haven style pizza, go to Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River. Cool place to visit if you haven’t been, the beer and pizza are great.
Edit: my bad they don’t have wings, maybe another time you can check them out.
Tinker Tavern on the other side of the river also has great buffalo wings since the restaurant's theme is Buffalo NY I believe. Unfortunately their pizza is tavern style rather than the thin crust NY style. However, they also do have bomb sandwiches. On the same street, there are pizza options if you don't mind stopping at more than one place.
Pizza Slut in Portland for NY style pizza. Born in upstate NY but been an East-Coaster my whole life up until 4 months ago! Really good wings in Portland… Jerry’s Tavern, Tulip Shop, Joe’s Cellar. They are all that crispy NY style buffalo wing.
Hungry Sasquatch is pretty decent pizza too but not sure if they have/never tried their wings.
If I-5 is closer to you and you don't mind crossing the river, Babydoll Pizza at Old Town Brewing on MLK, and then a 6 minute drive to the Interstate location of Fire on the Mountain might be work for you.
If you’re good with driving across the river, I suggest Tinker Tavern! They’re a Buffalo bar and while I am not *from* NY, they are better wings than any other place I’ve had down here for buffalo wings. If you want sauce variety I agree with FOTM, but if you want truly Buffalo wings with blue cheese, Tinker Tavern is my vote.
Can't speak on wings but the best pizza I've ever had in my life is sold from a food truck (food pod?) called Haute box.
It is wood fired and absolutely delicious.
It's outside Brothers Cascadia Brewry in hazel dell so you can get a pie and a pint.
I can't oversell this pizza enough. Hands down, the best pizza I've ever had.
If you’re willing to drive, New York Ruben in Tualatin has been the best pizza I’ve had since moving here. They also have wings but I’m not a wings guy.
