Baby Doll Pizza

Baby Doll Pizza is a pizzeria in Portland, Oregon.

Description
Baby Doll Pizza is a New York–style pizzeria on Stark Street in the southeast Portland portion of the Kerns neighborhood, named after a topless bar in Manhattan. In 2018, Nick Woo of Eater Portland wrote, "In this laid-back, casual spot with pinball machines and checkerboard flooring, pizza is available by the slice or as a whole pie. The thin crust has a crispy bottom, and toppings are made in-house including the sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella. Adjoining a full bar, the draft list runs about 12 deep with about 30 bottle choices. It’s also open late to satisfy any 2 a.m. pizza cravings." In 2021, the website's Rachel Pinsky said, "Enthusiastic twenty-somethings in overalls and tie dye serve pepperoni pies, sandwiches, and squares from this popular pizza spot frequented by Central Catholic students and SE Stark neighbors", and Nathan Williams wrote, "This is comfort food pizza intended to accompany the deep tap list of Baby Doll’s adjoining bar. Chessboard floor tile, pinball machines, black leather booths, and low-hung lighting gives the dining room David Lynch meets Tim Burton vibes."

History
The pizzeria was founded by Travis Miranda in 2012. Baby Doll filled the space previously occupied by Stark Naked Pizza. Adam Milne purchased the business in 2021.
