My girlfriend and I stopped by on a recent trip to Portland and were blown away. We had the El Chingon and Micho Rizzo pizzas along with the Caesar Chavez salad. We couldn’t resist ordering a third pizza to go (pepperoni). =]
P.C.Q. and Holy Ghost share the communal space so we grabbed a drink while we ate. Good vibes and great convo.

So glad we finally made it in for this incredible and unique pizza experience. The crust is fantastic. Sourdough and so well crafted. The toppings are thoughtful and unique, and the outdoor seating near the fire pit made for an excellent meal and conversation. Cannot wait to go back and try the whole menu.

Fantastic Caesar salad!!! Wonderful outdoor seating on and off street, and access to drinks via the attached Holy Ghost bar. Pizza dough (sourdough) is some of the best I have ever had.

Delicious pizza and quick! Have interesting flavor profiles (without being too wacky) and lots of options for dipping sauces for the crust. We have had the elote, cheese, green veggie one as well as the Cesar salad and all are delicious!

Overall great experience. Easily 5 stars across the board. I found out about this place from a video and immediately made it a priority to try it out. Service was great very helpful and had patience when I had questions about the menu. Everything about the pizza hit all my check marks. The flavors and ingredients integrated together creating their unique combinations created a very well rounded pizza. I will say one thing about the crust, it was a little doughy. The entire pizza was cooked perfectly but it was just inside the crust needed a little bit more cooking. Other than that this place was awesome to try out. Do not skip this place.

For the management, this happened at 7:30PM on January 31st, 2026. Was meeting for drinks at Holy Ghost with friends and stopped in here on a whim for pizza. I went to order and the dude behind the counter did not acknowledge me at all. Nothing. I said hi how are you? and he literally said nothing in response. I almost walked out cause it felt quite rude, but I ordered and sat down. A female came up and ordered after me and suddenly the dude working there was suddenly quite cheery and cordial with her. A second female came in after and he was also quite chummy with her. I guess the customer service here only extends to cute girls? That’s how it appeared at least for the 20 minutes I was there. As I am awaiting my pizza, there were ants crawling in the windowsill. I told the dude who served me my pizza there are ants in the window. He smashed one with his bare finger and went about his business which won’t last long with curt service and expensive halfway decent pizza. Up your customer service game quickly or you’ll be out of business. There are 100 other places I can get better, more affordable pizza with friendlier service without ants around. If you want to be surly, don’t work in customer service. Word of mouth is a powerful thing and the first thing my group of 10 friends asked me at Holy Ghost, oh how was the pizza place and I said the pizza was decent but the service left a lot to be desired.

For those seeking a creative twist on traditional pizza, Pan Con Queso delivers both in flavor and atmosphere. Their dedication to quality ingredients and innovative recipes makes it a must-visit spot in Portland’s vibrant food scene. However, guests can enjoy their meals at outdoor picnic tables or take advantage of the adjacent Holy Ghost Bar’s seating area. The friendly and accommodating staff enhance the overall dining experience. The pizzeria’s crust is crafted from a multigrain sourdough, fermented over several days to achieve a chewy texture with a subtle tang. This foundation complements toppings such as cotija, cilantro, chipotle, and corn, resulting in flavorful combinations. Pictured is the pizza El Chingon!

I recently started working in a new office, and with that came the excitement of exploring all the new dining options nearby and, of course, cross-referencing them on Yelp. One place, in particular, caught my eye: Pan Con Queso. I browsed their menu and immediately noticed a pizza named “El Kevin (McCallister).” I thought, “OMG, I have to go there ASAP!” (For reference, my social media handles are inspired by “Home Alone”, which is one of my all-time favorite movies.)
As I looked over the rest of the menu, I saw “El Chingon,” a pepperoni and pineapple pizza with a Latin/Mexican flair. In my opinion, pepperoni and pineapple is a far superior and more underrated combination of toppings than the standard Hawaiian that everyone gets. Growing up, I thought I was the only one who loved this combo, but I later discovered that there is a small yet passionate and devoted fan base for it. IFKYK. I was torn between the two, but I knew I couldn’t just add this place to my TDL, I had to go TODAY!
I pulled up PCQ on Google Maps and headed there after work, only to find out they had moved locations. That didn’t deter me, though, and I made my way to their current spot on SE Gladstone, which wasn’t too far away. When I arrived, I was disappointed to learn they were out of pizza for the day. The staff was really friendly and told me that although it happens from time to time, it’s pretty rare. I was let down, but I was determined not to let that ruin my day, so I made an effort to return the next day.
I had a horrible day at work and in my personal life that day, and all I could think about was getting that pepperoni and pineapple pizza to cheer me up. I called ahead and showed up even earlier this time, only to be told again that they had sold out. They were deeply apologetic. At that point, I was facing some pretty devastating things in my personal life, along with a big health scare and not getting this pizza that I was so excited for 2 days straight really felt like those cartoons where the clouds would follow the character and just dump rain while everyone else is perfectly dry.
Some time had passed, and I received a call from PCQ. They had somehow gone through the trouble of tracking down my phone number to tell me that my next pizza would be free of charge. That gesture was honestly the first bright spot I’d had all summer, and I was so grateful.
I finally returned to PCQ about two months later and mentioned that I had been told my pizza would be comped. The two female staff members (Mikayla? I apologize; I didn’t catch the other persons name) lit up and replied, “Phil?” I was floored. I couldn’t believe they remembered my name. Even before eating my food, I knew this was an experience I would treasure for years to come.

The pizza tastes as good as it looks, the elote pizza is a must have. The seating at Holy Ghost is perfect indoors or outdoors and they have a fire pit outside for chilly fall nights. I will definitely be back.
