Bari Food Cart Reviews

Panzerrotti is absolutely delicious and I'm so happy we live nearby. I'm so excited to tell more people about this place. Also the tiramisu is AMAZING. I come here just for that sometimes.

My favorite food cart in Portland! Walter rocks. I definitely recommend stopping at the Piedmont Station food cart pod, introduce yourself to Walter, and enjoy one of his perfectly cooked panzerotti's. They are all delicious. I especially like the Italian Sausage.

First of all, the man who runs this truck is salt of the earth human being. Even if the food was a 3 I'd drop a 5 here to support such a good human. That said, the food is a 5 too. Reasonably priced large lighter version of calzones is basically what you have here. He makes everything fresh and on the spot. Please check this cart out. It's located toward the back of the pod station so you may have to look around a but if you're craving a pizza you can hold in your hand, you gotta stop by.

The service was so kind and genuine. He has a big smile and is thrilled to show people his Italian cuisine. The flakey dough crust is made fresh and is so light and fluffy, with a very delicious flavor. It's a very big portion! (But not too big for one person). 10/10 recommend, so many options too! I will be back

I have never been to Sicily, but I can tell you this food is amazing and authentic. The homemade cannoli were delicious the cream cheese light and fluffy with the perfect amount of powdered sugar on top. They were the perfect dessert on our way out. We will be back ASAP for the rest of the menu.

This place is so good You must try if you haven't If you have!! Frequent it again It's so delicious you must return again and again to try all the different kinds!!

First, you have to meet Walter. he is the most wonderful example of hospitality I have come across. My cannoli was really good. The ricotta filling had a delicious flavor, a little sweet, a little lemon, really great! Thank you for the water and containers of homemade marinara sauce. See you again soon!

Well, everyone is right, he has good food. Glad he is now in my favorite cart pod the Piedmont Station food carts on Killingsworth. The panzerottis are like light fluffy calzones, like a thinner more elegant cousin of the calzone. They're around $13 each. I got the special of the day w/ pastrami & pepperoncini, such warm cheesy goodness. While 1 filled me up I could've eaten 2 easily.

The cutest couple with the yummiest panzerotti! Heard about this place on an episode of Munchies and knew I had to try it. Came here around 7:30 before they closed and am so happy we got here in time. From the episode and the photos, you'd think that the panzerotti is super big and that you won't be able to eat the whole thing. I can confirm that it is so delicious, you'll want two to yourself. I got the mortadella special which has mozerrella, smoked provolone, tomatoes, and mortadella. The dough is soo light and airy, didn't taste greasy at all. I was deeply sad that we didn't get another one but I'll be back. They also have homemade tiramisu! Not sure what other food carts they have in the lot but you need to come here!
