Our kitchen:Inspired by six-time James Beard nominated Chef Whims' many trips to Italy, the kitchen at Oven and Shaker unites tradition and creativity in the arena of wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and Italian street food. Adhering to Cathy’s legendary passion for detail, we use only the freshest available local ingredients, dough made in-house using our signature 70-year-old sourdough starter, and hand-toss and fire each pizza to order. Our bar:Overseen by barman Ryan Magarian, the bar at Oven and Shaker reflects Ryan’s passion for all things liquid and delicious. From his acclaimed whimsical signatures that deploy only the finest spirits, daily-pressed juices, to our wide range of “sessionable” local beers and old world-leading wines, our bar strives to offer every guest a beverage to remember.
Portland's Oven and Shaker is a popular dining destination for locals and visitors who crave artisan pizzas and unique bar drinks served in a warm and inviting setting. The nettle pesto arancino rice ball made with parmesan risotto and mushrooms and the fried calamari and octopus fritto misto with lemon and honey make stunning starters. In addition to traditional pizza choices, like margherita and bianca, Oven and Shaker crafts specialty pizzas, like the maple pig topped with apple butter, smoked ham, pork belly and maple mascarpone, the goat cheese topped with roasted leeks, prosciutto and aged balsamic and the vegetarian cauliflower topped with peppers, olives and cheese. Accompanying your pizza with a craft beer or cocktail, like the pineapple trainwreck made with rum, lemon, pineapple and ginger syrup, is a winning idea.For a sweet finale, enjoy Oven and Shaker's homemade mint chocolate stracciatella gelato.
