Paiku

7425 N Leavitt Ave., 503-860-4773, paikupdx.com. Closed Monday.

First made famous by its pie mobile, Paiku's St. Johns brick-and-mortar spot is the place to get any pie—sweet, savory or in between. Perhaps its most unique characteristic is its willingness to use gamey proteins like wild boar and venison. Paiku's adventurous menu is the reason it's already established itself as an important part of the St. Johns ecosystem. $.
