vibe: 4.5 | quality: 4 | service: 3.5 | selection: 4.5 | food: 4
To start off with, this is a really cool place. I wasn't sure what to expect when I showed up, but I quickly found myself enjoying the atmosphere, food, and drink. It's a very informal place with picnic tables making up the majority of the indoor seating and a small patio out front for those wanting to enjoy the weather. There was a selection of video games in the back, but I didn't get a chance to really check them out. The whole place had a kind of nautical or beach theme, with interesting swag on the walls. Food and drink was ordered at the bar and the pizza was quite good. There wasn't a lot of interaction with the waitstaff due to the setup, but service was solid and attentive. Paper plates and disposable plastic silverware were available for your dining pleasure. There were a lot of people getting pizza for take-out too. The selection consisted of ~15 house beers and ~15 guest beers on tap. These were pretty solid all around and included beers from Alesmith, Firestone, Allagash, Victory, Rogue, and Russian River. Pint prices were good at $4.25 for house beers. We ended up skipping some other planned pub visits in order to come back here a second time.

Staff is friendly. Whats so cool about pizza port is that all of the locations brew different beer. If you are lucky the person that brewed that beer. There are alot of beers that think should make it to canning like swamis or kooks did. All of the locations that i have been to have been packed full of people. The pizza was ok, not anything i would stand out to me. Very cool brewery. I would say that they take their beers seriously but they are not snobs about it.
Oh and the best thing about the beers that they brew there is that each beer has its own art that i believe is created by the brewer themselves. For example the original artwork for swamis is way different than what made it on the can. i wish they sold some of the art or made available on stickers. Good job guys!

The original! Funny thing is, it might be my least favorite. Vibe is awesome, its Pizza Port! Surf vibe, cool pizza and arcade 80s feel and shit. Its all wooden picnic tables inside, a row of plastic tables I think out front.
They don't seem to be as friendly, nor do they offer as good of a selection as every other PP location. Growler prices, especially refills are ridiculous.
This spot is all about the location and pizza.

Very good pizza and beer. Nice selection of their own brews and a number of other locals. Staff was very nice. To get beer or food you stand in line, which can get long. Place was very busy, but line went fairly quick.
