"Temporarily closed as of Monday, March 17, the owners shared an Instagram post thanking the community and stating in part, "East Glisan is not the place we need it to be for us, or what we want it to be for employees." The message adds that the business will return, but they’re "taking some space to look at the business with new eyes, to take what we’ve learned over the past 11 years and rebuild with structure and culture in place that we and our crew deserve." Keep an eye on the business's Instagram account for updates about reopening." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This Montavilla neighborhood pizzeria has cozy, old-school bar vibes, but its Detroit pan pizzas make it a destination. The crust is sufficiently airy, not weighed down by its significant layer of cheese and super-herbaceous tomato sauce with those crispy, cheesy edges almost blackened in the oven. The restaurant also offers 12- and 16-inch rounds, topped with everything from garlic oil to puttanesca sauce." - Ben Coleman
"One of the first spots in Portland to serve Detroit-style pizzas, East Glisan Pizza Lounge has brought back its late-night happy hour menu, which includes $3 slices of New-York-style cheese pizza, $5 Caesars, and $8 lasagna pinwheels. Wine, beer, and well drinks are all $1 off. The happy hour runs from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays — and all night on Monday." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Maya MacEvoy, Eater Staff
