The Spot
Lovely's Fifty Fifty is a family-owned restaurant in North Portland, open since 2010. The kitchen builds its pizzas on whole-grain sourdough techniques and uses produce sourced exclusively from Oregon farms, in keeping with the West Coast farmers market tradition. Pies come topped with fresh greens, foraged flowers, wild mushrooms, and other vegetables that shift with what's available.

Regulars point to the creative sides and desserts alongside the pizza itself, in a dining room known for attentive service and a considered, aesthetic space.

The restaurant holds a spot on the Eater 38, and its kitchen has drawn sustained attention from the James Beard Foundation — an Outstanding Chef semifinalist in 2025, an Outstanding Chef finalist in 2024, and a Best Chef semifinalist in 2020.
