The other day, Jake Flanagan from Saraveza emailed me with the news that now you can get their pizzas at Living Häus Beer’s taproom in Southeast Portland. This is the same location that has been host to Whit’s Pizza Pies, but Whit is currently undergoing cancer treatment and had to take a pause on his pizza work.

But I wanted to learn more, so Jake and I had a chat about their residency, their tavern-pies, Far Cry, and more. Here’s part of our conversation.

Tastebud gets review-bombed. This week some folks took issue with statements Mark Doxtader, owner of Tastebud, posted on the pizzeria’s website. This led to articles posted about it on conservative outlets like Fox News, the New York Post and the Daily Mail (UK).

Find additional info on this developing story in The Oregonian.

Tastebud makes wood-fired pizzas and more in Multnomah Village. 7783 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland
