If there's one type of food that there is a plethora of in the city of Portland, Maine, it's pizza. I searched on Google Maps for places that serve pizza, whether it be takeout or a restaurant and there is a total of 51 places to get a pizza. And now another player is opening up shop on Forest Avenue.

Cargo Pizza Company began business as a food truck that is a mobile pizza kitchen. They typically serve events or you can find the truck often on Portland's Eastern Prom. They've gotten rave reviews since opening in 2019 and now they're beginning a new adventure.

1053 Forest Avenue, Portland

That's the address of what will soon be Cargo Pizza Company's pizza restaurant. Coincidently, it's in a building that was also home to Papa John's Pizza until 2018.

Then along came Cargo Pizza Company, who had planned to be in the vacant space with their new restaurant in December of 2024, but things happen, and they are not quite there yet, but are very close to opening.

The new restaurant will seat around 20 people inside and have outdoor seating in the summer. They'll also be offering takeout and delivery. As far as I can tell, the pizza trucks will still be out there as well for events and private functions.
