about

Wood-fired oven pizzas from Ken’s Artisan Pizza are Italian-inspired with an American accent. Slow-fermented dough, hand-stretched mozzarella, Italian tomatoes, and top-quality toppings, baked with a blistered crust. Our pizzas are available in the classic 12-inch size.

Since opening in 2006, Ken’s Artisan Pizza has received local and national acclaim from Food & Wine, Sunset Magazine, The Oregonian, Bloomberg, Thrillist, and Modernist Pizza.

The pizzeria has consistently ranked among the top in both the country and the world by the prestigious Naples-based 50 Top Pizza, including most recently being named the 5th best pizzeria in the USA in 2024. Ken’s Artisan Pizza has also received multiple Green Oven awards recognizing a commitment to sustainability.

In November 2024, Ken’s Artisan Pizza will open its second location in Bend, Oregon. Read the Source Weekly story here.
