Portland restaurants deliver a variety of cuisines.
Sometimes there is nothing better than getting dinner delivered. In Portland, Oregon, restaurants that specialize in a variety of cuisines offer delivery. Outsourcing dinner is also a great timesaver. With someone else making and dropping off the night's meal you'll have more time to spend with the family or take care of extra work that needs to be done.
Bellagios Pizza Goose Hollow
Order via the telephone or online for delivery from Bellagios Pizza. Bellagios' menu features salads, sandwiches and calzones as well as pizza crust dough to go--for when you're feeling like making your own pizza on your own time. Unlike most pizza places, Bellagios has an entire gluten-free menu with offerings like mozzarella, salami and pepperoni or pesto chicken on a wheat-free crust. Don't forget dessert--the restaurant features cheesecake by the slice or the whole pie.
