On the heals of Voodoo Doughnut being named to the top 10 list from a major magazine, a Portland pizza joint has made an exclusive list. A sexy and exclusive list, that is. Playboy Magazine has named Ken’s Artisan Pizza top their list of Top 10 pizza joints in America.
Playboy had this to say about Ken’s (NSFW link):
For nearly a decade, Ken Forkish of Ken’s Artisan Bakery has been the undisputed champ of Portland’s bread scene. Apparently the greedy bastard just couldn’t be the best at one thing, so he had to go and open a pizzeria in 2006 to swipe the title of Portland’s best pizza as well. Being a baker, Ken knows ovens, and he and partner Alan Maniscalao settled on a massive wood-fired hearth that blisters up a thin crust in two minutes flat. The peaks and valleys of the bubbling beauties hide just the right amount of bright tomato sauce and seasonal toppings like green garlic in spring and roasted squash in winter. Our favorite of the lot combines juicy fennel sausage with caramelly onions, torn basil and fresh mozzarella, and best of all it’s available year-round.
