I discovered this place trying to find a way to my new office. Once I saw the sign saying GF pizza I wanted some.
I called in a to go order when I got off work, after checking out the website and got the alfreda – spinach – mushroom pizza. To die for!
I’m fighting the urge to eat another piece and that would make 1/2 the pie.
With all the comments about them not being busy makes me worry. It’s a Thurs eve about 8PM when I was in there, all the surrounding businesses were busy. Inside there were 2 tables and 2 people in the bar, there was a bunch of people hanging outside.

I LOVE the gluten free pizza at Virgo and Pisces!!!! It is BY FAR the highest-quality and cheapest GF pizza in Portland. It only costs something like $15 for a large (compared with at least $25 for a medium other places). They make their own crusts and even source GF blue cheese. I cannot say enough about this pizza and I hope that they get enough business to continue offering it. It would be great if glutenfreeportland.org tried their pizza and reviewed it. I swear I am not affiliated with this restaurant, just an enthusiastic customer who hopes to eat their pizza for years to come.

I’ve been to Virgo and Pisces twice… I can see the gluten free pizza sign(on the street) from my balcony and it drew me in :)
anyway, both times I’ve been, It seemed like it took a ridiculously long time to get our food. That was a major downer. The first time I went I got the Alfredo-pesto mushroom pizza that was absolutely delicious! I’ve never had such amazing sauce on any pizza I’ve had in my life!
My second trip was just 2 days ago, in which I went with my whole family. My sister, who was also ordering gluten-free, didn’t find anything she wanted on that menu, so they made her one of the crepes w/out the crepe. which was really just a pile of potatoes, tofu, and spinach I think… she liked it. I however, decided to try the rice pasta with alfredo sauce(and salmon, but I had that left off). I was VERY disappointed. the pasta was very very undercooked and I had quite a few crunchy noodles. I know rice pasta is hard to cook and can get mushy easily, but this big of a mistake shouldn’t be made at a resteraunt of any quality.

I’ve been to Virgo and Pisces several times. The owner is very accommodating to gluten-free patrons. I haven’t been there in a long time, but they used to have a GF tempura-style shrimp appetizer that was pretty good. The quality of their drinks and service varied depending on who was serving that day. I just recently noticed that they have GF pizza now, but I haven’t gone over there to try it out yet. Now that I know it’s a house-made crust I’m even more interested! I’ll let you know when I get around to it.
