After the success of Monday Night Pizza, a weekly pop-up at Ken's Artisan Bakery, owner Ken Forkish gave his popular pizza its own home on NE 28th Street in 2006.

One of the most sought-after tables in Portland, Ken's Artisan Pizza was named the best pizzeria in Portland by The Oregonian and one of Eater National's Essential 38 Pizzerias across America.

The pizzeria has consistently ranked among the top in both the country and the world by the prestigious Naples-based 50 Top Pizza, including most recently being named the 5th best pizzeria in the USA in 2024. Ken’s Artisan Pizza has also received multiple Green Oven awards recognizing a commitment to sustainability.

Ken’s Artisan Pizza will open its second location in Bend, Oregon, in November.
