Baby Blue Pizza (sometimes Baby Blue Woodfired Pizza)[1] was a vegan pizzeria in Portland, Oregon. The restaurant operated from July 2019 to January 2022, closing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Description[edit]
The restaurant served seven[2] vegan pizzas with sourdough crusts and toppings like meatless pepperoni.[3][4]
History[edit]
Vegan chef Odie O’Connor, who previously worked at Gracie's Apizza, began operating Baby Blue as a food cart on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland in July 2019.[5] He closed the cart for approximately one month during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing him to explore making other types of pizza and open a separate small pizzeria called Boxcar Pizza.[1][6] Baby Blue closed in January 2022.[7][8]
Reception[edit]
Michael Russell included Baby Blue in The Oregon's 2020 overview of Portland's five best new pizzerias. He said Baby Blue "stands out for the quality of its chewy, blistered dough" and was "leaning the charge" amongst the city's new vegan pizzerias.[9][10] Waz Wu included Baby Blue in Eater Portland's 2021 overview of "Where to Find Knockout Vegan Pizza in Portland" and said, "This successful pop-up-turned-food-cart slings some of the most exciting vegan pizza in town."[11]
