HOTLIPS Pizza is a chain of pizza restaurants in the Portland, Oregon, area. It is known for using local, organic ingredients in its pizzas.[1]
History
HOTLIPS Pizza was founded in 1984 by David Yudkin's father-in-law. Yudkin and his wife, Jeana Edelman, took over the business in 1994.[1] In 2005, HOTLIPS started selling fruit sodas made from local fruits.[2] The sodas were featured in The New York Times.[3] In 2011, Hot Lips made its millionth bottle of soda.[4]
Environmental practices
Many of HOTLIPS' ingredients are bought from local farmers, especially from farmers' markets. It also makes all of its packaging compostable.[5] Waste heat from the ovens at their Pearl District location is used to heat the whole restaurant.[6]
