Italian cuisine in the shadow of mt hood

made completly from scratch

This is no ordinary pizza. The dough is made inhouse and never frozen. Cheese is shredded from whole blocks, and sauce is made with just tomatoes, wine, and our spices. No oil, water, or sugar has been added to our marinara.

But we don’t stop there, we hand make, cure, and smoke our pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, and Italian sausage.

We have our own handcrafted soda, a rootbeer and cream soda you will only find here.

Oregon Trail and native history

We offer a vivid glimpse into the historic Oregon Trail and the interactions between early American settlers and Native American tribes.

Among the treasures is a heartfelt letter dated 1864, penned by newlyweds detailing their plans to journey westward to Oregon, conveying the hopes and challenges anticipated by those who traveled the trail.

Additionally, the exhibit features a variety of Hudson Bay Company trading trinkets, which highlight the commercial exchanges between settlers and Native Americans, showcasing items that were integral to early barter economies.

Another central piece of the collection is an authentic wagon that successfully traversed the Oregon Trail, complemented by various yokes and farming tools used during the era. These artifacts not only depict the arduous journey undertaken by thousands seeking new opportunities but also reflect the technological and agricultural practices of the time. Together, these items offer a comprehensive look at the daily lives, challenges, and interactions of those who shaped the early history of the American West.

scratch made

We cure, smoke, and slice our Canadian Bacon. It cures for a week, and takes about sixteen hours to finish the smoke.

We also grind, stuff, cure, and slice our pepperoni and Italian sausage. We use the finest pork and beef, our house spices, and stuff in a natural casing.

Our pizza sauce is just tomatoes, wine and our spices. We add no water, no oil, and no sugar to our sauce.

Dough is made fresh inhouse, and cold fermented over 72 hours before it is ready to be used. Cheese is shredded from blocks. Vegetables are hand cut, never frozen or from a bag.

Enjoy our house sodas, made from natural essential oils, cane sugar, and never any caffeine. Our signature root beer is made from wintergreen, sassafras, butter, caramel, and vanilla. Lots of vanilla.

Ivy Bear is also the home of Scott’s Pepper House, a boutique hot sauce company that adds the perfect amount of heat to not just pizza, but just about anything else.
