Proto's Pizza

"Best Traditional Neapolitan Pizza "

  • Specialty pizzas
  • Great wines and cold cocktails
  • Fantastic and friendly staff

Pam Proto and Rayme Rossello set out in 1999 to make great pizza-- and they succeeded.

Protos Pizza offers up delicious pizza in a fun hip atmosphere, and an extensive wine and cocktail list. The desserts and salads are made fresh every days as well. Bon Appetit magazine heralded them a "top neighborhood restaurant."

User Reviews for Proto's Pizza

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I guess some people like this style, but it's not for me. Pizza here is served on a very thin, very crisp crust. Kind of like pizza on Ak Mak. The toppings were just OK. Medium was more like other's small. It's a cool place in terms of having sidewalk seating and the management was friendly, but the food was awful. I give it a star because it looked like pizza.

Pros: Outdoor seating

Cons: Everything else

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My dad introduced me to Protos on a recent visit to Boise. The atmosphere was very cool, comfortable, and casual. One of the managers came over to talk to us and was extremely friendly, explaining the history of Proto's. So, time to order. The restaurant was pretty empty as this was afternoon, so we made our orders, and our pizzas were in front of us in no time. I ordered a Goombah, and my father and his wife had a Margherita. WOW!! These thin crustt pizzas deliver in a big way on fresh flavors, and don't leave you feeling like you're going to have to stop for a handfull of Tums. I wish there were more true pizzerias in Oregon, (especially a Proto's). I loved our visit to Boise, and I'm looking forward to Proto's again. It's wonderful to enjoy tasting great flavors without a ton of fake cheese and greese. Proto's service and food left a great impression, and I would recomend Proto's to anyone who truly enjoys food the way is should be. If you're a cheep neanderthal looking for the XXXL Value meal of the day regardless of taste, don't even open the front door, as you won't find a ton of crappy pizza for 9.99. This place is special and will always please a good pallate.

Pros: Great flavors, wonderful Pizza

Cons: There isn't one in Southern Oregon!! (yet??? )
