Description

Sandwiches included an oxtail French dip and a turkey Reuben with purple sauerkraut, [2] as well as roast beef, a turkey club, and grilled cheese. [3] [4] In 2023, the restaurant served a roasted pork coppa with provolone and a green curry fried chicken sandwich with fish sauce. [5] The menu also included Caesar and wedge salads. [6] [7]

History

Gabriel Pascuzzi opened the original restaurant in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood on February 17, 2017. [8] Stacked began serving brunch in October 2017, [9] and also offered special holiday meals. [10] A new brunch menu was launched in 2019. [11]

Stacked closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic. [12] In December 2021, Pascuzzi announced plans to close the restaurant permanently on December 19, citing supply chain issues and high meat costs as reasons. [2] [13]

In February 2023, Pascuzzi confirmed plans to reopen Stacked in a shared space with a second location of his restaurant Feel Good. [14] The businesses operated in the space previously occupied by Sunshine Noodles, [15] in northwest Portland's Northwest District. Feel Good and Stacked Sandwich shop opened on April 11. [16] [17] Later in 2023, Pascuzzi confirmed plans to close Stacked, replacing the sandwich shop with Tip Top Burger Shop. [18] [19] An exact closing date was not announced, but a menu transition was expected on November 7. [20]

In 2017, Eater Portland nominated Stacked as one of "Portland's Game-Changing Restaurant of the Year". [21] Additionally, Pascuzzi was nominated for Chef of the Year for his work at Stacked. [22] Michael Russell of The Oregonian named Stacked one of "Portland's new sandwich All Stars of 2017". [23] He also included Stacked in a list of the city's 50 "most notable" restaurant openings of 2017 [24] and said the oxtail French dip was "already one of Portland's best" sandwiches. [25] In 2020, Russell wrote, "Few sandwiches turned more heads in the back half of the 2010s than the oxtail French dip at Stacked." [26]

Tasting Table selected Stacked's oxtail French dip for Oregon in a 2017 list of the best sandwiches in each U.S. state. [27] Benjamin Tepler of Portland Monthly complimented Stacked's wedge salad and said "Pascuzzi might make the best wedge in the city". [7] In 2020, Alex Frane included Stacked in Eater Portland's list of fourteen "excellent" sandwich shops in Portland. [28]
