Portofino's pizza has been a staple for me since college.
HUGE pizza (like, the pizza can't fit flat through a doorway, huge) for a very, very competitive price. I won't say cheap because it means that their quality is bad - which it's not.
Their pizza is a true definition of "bang for the buck" and had me coming back time and time again.
Fast forward about 5 years I was planning a fairly large party for my wife, and she wanted pizza. *Ding* Portofino's. Their pizza hadn't changed a lick since 5 years ago.
My only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 stars is that don't clearly advertise that their sauce can be pretty spicy (not necessarily to me, but a lot of my wife's friends) and i think it should at least be mentioned.
Other than that small subjective thought, good pizza! Great work guys!
We order pizza from Portofino's about every month or so. It isn't a particularly fancy place, and is a far cry from something like California Pizza Kitchen. However, if you are interested in a simple thin-crust pizza, made well, I'd recommend them. Our family lives relatively close, so there is also the "buy local" argument for us. Our order seldom varies so I can't speak to the breadth of their menu, but the pizzas we order never disappoint.
There isn't a dine-in option, just a table for people to sit at while they wait for their pizza to be finished. The look of the place has gotten much better over the last few months, though, mostly because there aren't pizza boxes piled high in the waiting room. The space, generally, is like their pizza - solid, no frills.
We are From New England. We have had a hard time finding a pizza place that had that New York pizza taste! Luckily we found Portofinos! The pizza taste great and the price is awesome! If you want to know how pizza taste in New England, try them out! They have a party size pizza!! No one in Columbus carries that size pizza!
