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.
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.

It’s our way of saying thanks for joining the club.
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.
Each Thursday evening, enjoy performances by some of the region’s most talented musicians in an intimate setting — all while enjoying your favorite OTTO pizzas, fresh salads, and a full bar featuring the best in Maine craft beer on tap. The lineup features a rotating roster of great local acts, with a consistent schedule so you’ll always know who’s playing when.
5th Thursdays:Surprise Artist – Always something special
Location: 576 Congress Street, Portland, ME Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm Admission: FREE Menu: Full OTTO menu available, including local beer, cocktails, and wine
No ticket needed — just come as you are, grab a slice, and enjoy the show. Whether you’re in the mood for rootsy Americana, upbeat rockabilly, or something completely unexpected, Thursday nights at OTTO will deliver.
We opened our doors in 2009 with a single goal: serve creative, crave-worthy pizza made with care, using wholesome, high-quality ingredients. Sixteen years later, we’re still doing what we love thanks to you. All month long we’re throwing a birthday bash packed with pizza deals, live music, giveaways, and even a nostalgic playlist from OTTO’s founding year. Here’s everything on tap for June:
