HotLips Pizza

HOTLIPS has been a family-owned business since making Portland's first "gourmet" pizzas in 1984. In 2005 we began producing fresh fruit soda from the fruits and berries our farmers were growing. Today there are five pizzerias in Portland, a commissary kitchen, a soda brewing operation, a mobile oven that travels to farmers markets and to regional festivals, and a mobile soda set-up. Our mission is to preserve culture and celebrate humanity through our rich culinary traditions and by joining with others in finding new, sustainable ways of doing business. Of course, deliciousness is essential, but it’s not just about what goes into HOTLIPS pizza or soda — it’s also about how much energy is consumed to make it and how long dollars spent and earned stay in our local economy. - See more at: http://www.oen.org/blog/what-food-beverage-entrepreneurs-can-learn-from-hotlips-co-owner-david-yudkin
