Since 1996 in Portland and 1997 in Vancouver, Blind Onion Pizza & Pub has been a go-to for fuss-free neighborhood dining. It welcomes families, sports fans, and anyone seeking a relaxed meal without valet parking or dress codes. The standout feature is the crust. Each dough ball is hand-rolled daily and twisted along the edge for a puffy, soft center and crisp exterior. Fans often add a honey drizzle to the “pizza bones,” which has grown into a local favorite.
The menu covers traditional pies like pepperoni and sausage alongside veggie options such as the Popeye or a classic Margherita with fresh basil. Combo lovers can order the General’s Combo or the five-meat Carnivore, while artichoke hearts, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes offer a lighter twist. All sauces are scratch-made, lending depth to salads and sandwiches alike. With small pizzas starting around $13 and large pies reaching the $30s, the pricing feels like an occasional treat rather than a splurge. The setting pairs funky sports-bar energy with roomy seating, so you’ll never fight for a booth.
Uptown Barrel Room
Tucked into Uptown Vancouver, Uptown Barrel Room blends a cozy wine bar atmosphere with casual pizza offerings. A hand-built barrel ceiling sets the tone for a warm, inviting space filled with wood accents and long communal tables. When the drizzle lets up, guests can move onto the spacious patio.
Pizza is the star here. You can choose a 12-inch or 16-inch hand-tossed pie, with an extra fee for gluten-free crust. The dough falls in the flatbread category, so you won’t find deep dish.

Uptown Barrel Room knows what it does best and sticks to it, making it a reliable spot for post-work gatherings and casual nights out.
