What happens when a love for Vietnamese and Thai food collides head-on with a passion for Neapolitan pizza? 🍕🌿
Hapa Pizza in Beaverton, Oregon, is the delicious, nationally celebrated answer to that question — a mom-and-pop Asian fusion Neapolitan pizzeria run by the Truong family that started as a humble farmers’ market booth and grew into one of the most talked-about pizza spots in the entire United States.
If you thought you knew what pizza could be, Hapa Pizza is about to very politely prove you wrong.
How Hapa Pizza Won Beaverton’s Hearts
The Truong family started serving their one-of-a-kind Asian-inspired pizzas at the Beaverton Farmers Market every Saturday from February through November — and the reception was nothing short of electric. ⚡
Lines formed quickly. Word spread faster. Friends encouraged them to keep going, and the community showed up in force every single week to prove the concept had legs.
That overwhelming support gave the Truongs the confidence to take a massive leap of faith — and in March 2023, they opened their first brick-and-mortar location in downtown Beaverton.
What had started as a market booth became a full-fledged restaurant practically overnight, and Beaverton’s dining scene was never quite the same again.
Hapa Pizza takes the chewy, charred, airy crust of traditional Neapolitan pizza and layers it with flavors pulled from the family’s favorite Asian dishes — pho, bánh mì, massaman curry, tom yum, Korean barbecue — creating a menu that feels simultaneously deeply familiar and wildly original. 🌏
The Pho Pizza became the calling card early on — slow-cooked brisket on a house pho sauce with mozzarella, cilantro, bean sprouts, and a sriracha aioli drizzle that made people stop mid-bite and stare at their slice in disbelief.
The local food community embraced Hapa Pizza with a ferocity that caught even the Truongs off guard. But the national food media was paying attention too.
In 2024, the New York Times named Hapa Pizza one of the 22 best pizzerias in the entire United States — a recognition that sent shockwaves through the Portland metro area and put Beaverton firmly on the best Asian fusion pizza map for food lovers nationwide. 🏆
For a family-run spot that started at a Saturday farmers’ market, that kind of recognition is nothing short of extraordinary.
The Truongs built this pizza empire the right way — with fresh, hand-made food, a genuinely original idea, and the kind of family warmth that no corporate restaurant group can manufacture.

The downtown Beaverton brick-and-mortar location is casual, cozy, and completely unpretentious — the kind of neighborhood spot where the food is the full star of the show, and the room steps back graciously to let it shine.
Outdoor seating adds a relaxed, open-air element that pairs beautifully with Beaverton’s Pacific Northwest climate and the farmers’ market roots that gave the restaurant its soul.
The rhythm of the kitchen — hand-making each pizza to order and firing it in just 90 seconds — gives the dining room a lively, almost theatrical energy that makes waiting for your pie feel like part of the experience rather than an inconvenience. 🔥
