According to a recent article from New School Beer, Pizza Thief has partnered with Great Notion Brewing to take over the kitchen at 444 NW 28th Avenue.
A representative of Pizza Thief or Great Notion Brewing was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
According to the article, “Starting with lunch service on Wednesday, May 1st, Pizza Thief will be serving their delicious Sicilian pan pizza (10” square pies), salads, fried roman style snacks, suppli, and polpettes, and more sandwich options.”
“Sandwiches built on Pizza Thief’s pizza biancos, there will be a meatball hoagie using their neighbors at Brewer’s Bread sesame baguette. The food menu will be paired up alongside Great Notion’s Ripe, Ledge, Blueberry Muffin, and other beers.”
“But it won’t be just a direct port of Pizza Thief’s artisan take on New York pies and baked goods, instead it will focus on Sicilian-style pizza with a completely different menu.”
“Great Notion will become our new commissary kitchen space. Our mixer, current oven, and dough bench will move to the Great Notion kitchen. A new larger PizzaMaster oven will be installed here, as well as a larger pizza line.”
“This will allow us to increase production at Vaughn Street. Our salad and sandwich line will improve as well, which will allow us to offer our Italian sandwich all day through close. Once we settle into Great Notion Space, Vaughn will become a 7-day-a-week operation,” says Pizza Thief co-owner/pizzaiolo Darby Adalco in the article.
