[1] [2] In 2015, Jamie Hale of The Oregonian wrote, "The place was bustling on a Monday evening, but the typical 20-somethings you'd expect to find were replaced with neighborhood families, filling the tiny pizzeria to capacity." [3]

[8] She also included the pizzeria in a 2022 overview of "Where to Find Exceptional Pizzas in Portland", writing, "The Neapolitan-style pizzas at Pizzeria Otto are outstanding, cooked in a rustic wood-fired oven in high heat, but the toppings are decidedly Pacific Northwestern."
