June is a big month around here. OTTO turns 17 this year, and we’re celebrating all month long with pizza, music, rewards, festivals, giveaways, and a few reasons to spend more time in Portland.

Here’s the full rundown of what’s happening throughout June.

MONDAYS IN JUNE

Double Rewards Points

Every Monday in June, OTTO Rewards members earn double points on qualifying purchases.

If you’re already a member, you’re automatically in. If you’re not, this is a pretty good month to join.

JUNE 13–14

Resurgam Music & Arts Festival

We’re proud to once again be the headline sponsor of the Resurgam Music & Arts Festival — a free, two-day celebration of Maine music, art, food, and community happening across Portland’s Old Port and waterfront.

This year’s festival expands in a big way.

  • Local performances throughout the Old Port

Sunday, June 14 — Ocean Gateway Waterfront

  • Coyote Island
  • Royal Hammer
  • Midnight Breakfast

JUNE 16

OTTO Birthday Celebration

On Monday, June 16, we’re celebrating 17 years of OTTO with an in-store birthday party at participating locations.

All day long, slices are just $1.70.

  • In-store only
  • Limit 2 slices per customer

We’ll also have:

  • OTTO swag giveaways (while supplies last)
  • A chance to enter to win a $170 OTTO gift card

It’s our way of saying thanks for 17 years of support, pizza runs, late nights, post-show slices, family dinners, road trips, and everything in between.

See you in June.

The OTTO Passport Has Arrived

Posted on by
Reply

Eat pizza. Visit locations. Collect stamps. Earn free food.

The OTTO Passport is our year-long pizza adventure, built for people who already find themselves saying things like “I’ve never actually tried that one” or “Wait… there’s an OTTO there too?”

Pick up a Passport, collect stamps along the way, and earn rewards for exploring more of what OTTO has to offer.

Whether you’re chasing your favorite pizza, trying something new, or plotting out a full Maine / Massachusetts / New Hampshire pizza tour, this gives you a reason to keep going.

How it Works

Pick up an OTTO Passport at participating locations.

Then:

  • Order a Large Pizza
  • Receive a stamp at the time of your qualifying purchase
  • Collect stamps and work toward rewards

There are two different paths to complete, and yes — you can complete both.

Pizza Path 🍕

Collect stamps for 10 different pizzas

Complete the Pizza Path and earn:

Free Large Pizza

Location Path 📍

Collect stamps from 10 different OTTO locations

Complete the Location Path and earn:

Free Large Pizza + Appetizer

Can I Complete Both?

Yes.

You can complete the Pizza Path, the Location Path, or both.

And if you complete both? You earn both rewards.

Important Rules for Getting Stamps

To keep things simple and fair:

  • Stamps are given at the time of a qualifying purchase
  • Qualifying purchase = one Large Pizza
  • One stamp per guest, per visit

Stamps are available for:

  • Dine-in
  • Pickup / takeout

Stamps are NOT available for:

  • Delivery orders
  • Third-party delivery platforms
  • Past purchases
  • Retroactive requests

Redeeming Rewards

Once you’ve completed a path:

  • Bring your Passport on your next visit
  • Staff will verify completion and mark your Passport as redeemed
  • Rewards must be redeemed on a future visit (not during the same transaction where you complete the path)

Reward redemption deadline:

Redeem by February 28, 2027

Stamp collection deadline:

Collect stamps through December 31, 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

Does delivery count?

No. Delivery and third-party delivery orders do not qualify for Passport stamps.

The Passport is designed around in-person visits and pickup experiences.

Can I earn multiple stamps in one order?

No.

A guest can earn one stamp per visit, regardless of how many pizzas are ordered.

So if you order five different large pizzas in one transaction, you’ll still receive one stamp.

Can I use old receipts or past orders to get stamps?

No.

Stamps are only provided at the time of a qualifying purchase.

Do small pizzas count?

No.

Only Large Pizzas qualify for Passport stamps.

Slices and small pizzas do not count.

Can I get both the Pizza reward and the Location reward?

Yes.

You can complete both paths and earn both rewards.

Do I need to visit 10 locations to complete the Pizza Path?

No.

The Pizza Path only requires 10 different pizzas.

You could complete it at fewer locations.

Do I need to order 10 different pizzas to complete the Location Path?

No.

The Location Path is based on visiting 10 different locations.

Can multiple people at a table receive stamps?

Yes.

If each guest places their own qualifying order and has their own Passport, each person can receive a stamp.

What if I forget my Passport?

Unfortunately, we can’t retroactively add stamps later.

Bring your Passport with you on each visit.

What if I lose my Passport?

Treat it like a concert ticket or a well-loved road map.

Lost Passports cannot be replaced and previously earned stamps cannot be transferred.

Do all OTTO locations participate?

Most locations are participating, though availability may vary by location.

Ask in-store if you have questions.

The Fine Print

  • Valid only at participating OTTO locations
  • One stamp per guest per visit
  • Large pizzas only
  • Dine-in and pickup orders only
  • No delivery or third-party delivery orders
  • No retroactive stamps
  • Rewards must be redeemed on a future visit
  • Stamps must be collected by 12/31/26
  • Rewards must be redeemed by 2/28/27
  • OTTO reserves the right to modify or discontinue the program if necessary

Passport Listening

Collecting stamps is optional.

Having something good playing in the car is not.

See you out there. And maybe start planning your route. Some people are going to get surprisingly competitive about this.

OTTO Island Delivery 2026!

Posted on by

Every summer, we load up the pizzas, head toward the water, and do something that still feels a little unlikely:

We bring OTTO to the islands.

This year, we’re delivering to both Peaks Island and Chebeague Island — with a simple system, a consistent schedule, and a pickup waiting for you when we arrive.

Peaks Island

Starting Friday, May 22

We’ll be delivering to Peaks twice a week:

  • Tuesdays
  • Fridays

Ordering Window

  • Opens: 9am Mondays
  • Closes: 11:30am on delivery day

Order Here for Chebeague Island

A Few Things to Know

  • Pizzas are par-baked by default (finish them at home for the best result)
  • Prefer it ready to eat? You can request fully baked
  • Orders are timed so everything arrives fresh and ready for pickup


A Small Kickoff Offer

To get things going, take 10% off your first orders through June 5 with code:
ISLAND26

There’s something we like about this — the routine of it, the logistics, the small bit of coordination it takes to make it work.

It’s not quite the same as walking into one of our shops.
But it gets pretty close.

We’ll see you at the landing.

Pizza Powering Music Education

Posted on by
Reply

Music has been part of OTTO since the beginning.

Our first restaurant opened in Portland’s Arts District in 2009. Musicians worked here. We fed local and touring bands. We hosted shows. We sponsored local events. The music in our restaurants isn’t random — it’s chosen carefully and changes often. It matters to us.

Supporting music education feels like an extension of that.

Maine Academy of Modern Music

$1 from every Seasonal Special pizza sold in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts is donated to nonprofit organizations working to expand access to music education in the communities we serve.

Maine
In Maine, Seasonal Special sales support the Maine Academy of Modern Music, which provides music education and performance opportunities to students statewide, many at free or reduced cost.

Boston Music Project

Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, $1 from every Seasonal Special pie benefits the Boston Music Project, a nonprofit providing intensive, ensemble-based music education and long-term mentorship to students in under-resourced communities across Greater Boston.

New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, Seasonal Special sales support the Portsmouth Music & Arts Center, a community arts school serving more than 1,000 students annually regardless of age, ability, or economic background.

Portsmouth Music & Arts Center

Our Seasonal Specials rotate quarterly. Some become favorites. Some find a permanent place on the menu.

Each one helps support music education. One pie at a time.

Team ReMix Is Back

Posted on by

At OTTO, we’ve always believed that pizza should never be ordinary. For more than 15 years, we’ve built our menu around unexpected combinations and carefully prepared ingredients, crafted with the same attention to detail you’d expect from a scratch kitchen. But some of our best ideas have come not from the test kitchen—but from our amazing team members.

That’s what Team ReMix is all about.

What Is a ReMix?
Each OTTO location is challenged to create a brand-new pizza using only the ingredients already available in our kitchens. Sometimes that means putting a fresh spin on an existing menu favorite, and other times it means going completely off the rails with something bold and unexpected. The result? A rotating lineup of truly original pies that showcase the creativity, passion, and personality of our staff.

Think of them as new releases from your favorite band—each one has its own flavor, its own story, and its own fan base.

The ReLaunch
After a short break this summer to focus on our new menu rollout, Team ReMix is back—refreshed, recharged, and ready to roll.

Keep an eye on this space for the full list of what’s currently available, and get ready to taste the next great idea from the OTTO family.
