"No spin. It's a New York-style joint. We could say it's 'neo-f-cking-whatever,' but we just wanted to compete in the crowded center lane with something that we really believed in."
"They were great people. I had a fun time over there. It was a really convenient place to be stoned, and they kept paying me."
Dick's Pizza, opening in April in Sellwood's former Sunny's Pizza location, represents a collaboration between the team behind the 1905 Club's Scorfana residency. Owner Chris Pfeifer named the restaurant after his grandfather. Head chef Jon Wiley, who previously worked at Dame, Estes, and Beast, emphasizes the restaurant's commitment to authentic New York-style pizza without pretension or culinary trends. The menu features classic offerings: cheese, pepperoni, sausage, salad, and beer. Wiley began his pizza career at Flying Pie, a Portland chain established in 1984. Dick's Pizza aims to occupy the mainstream market in Sellwood's increasingly diverse dining landscape, which includes upscale establishments like a Cena Ristorante and casual venues like the Last Rodeo.
