A New Year brings a new app and changes to digital ordering

Throughout January, OTTO locations will be migrating to a new ordering system – including new web ordering and a new mobile app. Locations will be migrating in stages throughout January. 

Once complete, we will be rolling out new features over the next few months that will improve the overall customer experience, as well as providing operational efficiencies for our team members.

Our teams will be working hard to ensure a smooth transition, but it is possible that you may experience some minor turbulence.  We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this transition period.

What does this mean for me?
If you typically place your order digitally, and/or if you are a Rewards member, your account password will not migrate over to the new system. But never fear. See below for details on how to ensure the transfer of key account information.

Ordering Online
Once your location has migrated to the new system, you will notice that the ordering page has a different look and feel. You will not be able to log in with your previous password. On the new ordering page (order.ottoportland.com) click ‘Sign In/Sign Up’ on the upper right side of the page, click ‘Create Account’ and set up a new account using the email address associated with your ‘old’ account.

Your past order history not transfer to your new account, so you’ll be starting fresh. Any orders placed from this point on will be added to the ‘Order History’ tab, and will be available for quick re-order.

If you typically store credit/debit card info on your account, you will need to re-add these to your new account. You can add multiple payment options in the new ‘Manage Cards’ tab.

We apologize for these inconveniences.

OTTO Rewards Members
Existing Rewards members’ points balance and coupons will transfer to your new account, as long as your previous account’s phone number is used when setting up your new account.

OTTO Mobile App
The OTTO mobile app was just updated on Jan. 20. If you have downloaded the app prior to that date, you will need to update the app, or download again. (If you open the app and are not able to order, you are likely viewing the ‘old’ app and will need to download the updated version.

As mentioned above under ‘Ordering Online,’ if this is the first time you have signed in to the new platform, you will need to create a new account. Please see ‘Ordering Online’ above for details.

As always, the OTTO Mobile App can be found on the Apple App Store and on Google Play (for Android devices). Just search “OTTO Pizza.”

Gift Cards
Any OTTO gift card, regardless of when it was purchased, will be redeemable at any OTTO location post-migration. NOTE: Gift cards redemption is currently (and temporarily) not available on the mobile app…stay tuned.

Should you run into any issues activating an e-gift (email) gift card, or locating a previously ‘saved’ gift card during this time, please reach out to us at contactus@ottoportland.com with a brief description of your issue, along with details (date ordered, physical or digital card, email address or phone number associated with the account, etc.) and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

What if I run into other issues during this transitional period? 
We will be standing by to assist you with any problems you encounter during this transition. If you need assistance, please email contactus@ottoportland.com with a brief description of your issue, including any account details (email, phone number, etc.). We’ll do our very best to get back to you as soon as possible. 

Thanks for your patience. We really appreciate it.

OTTO Pizza: At a Brewery Near You

Pizza and beer just go together. It’s a universal truth. At OTTO, we are always looking for ways to work with our local breweries: tap takeovers, limited edition collaborations, even using craft beer as an ingredient. Lately we’ve been working with breweries in a new way.

We’re excited to announce that we now offer pizza delivery to select breweries in both Maine and Massachusetts!

If you’re a regular on the tasting room circuit, you may have seen one of our ordering tablets already. They’re simple to use and just like ordering online.

Here’s how they work:

  • After approaching the OTTO ordering kiosk, enter the delivery address that’s conveniently listed on the bottom of the tablet. Once the address is entered, click “order” and select “ASAP” to get your order started.
  • Place your order as you normally would by selecting your favorite pizzas, salads and apps. All you’ll need to complete your order is your name, phone number and payment information. You can also enter your OTTO Rewards information to earn points on your delivery.
  • Delivery typically takes 35-45 minutes. This leaves you a little time to enjoy some beverages while you wait for your order.
  • If you have any questions or need to make any changes to your order, simply call the number listed at the bottom of the kiosk to reach the OTTO team handling your order.

We currently have OTTO ordering kiosks at the following locations:

OTTO Pizza is also available at the Rising Tide tasting room in Portland (103 Fox Street, Portland, ME) . They offer slices, as well as small pies, right there at the tasting room.

If you are a brewery or other business interested in offering OTTO pizza at your establishment, please contact us at catering@ottoportland.com for more details.
