Stickmen Brewing Company - Happy Valley

⭐️⭐️ (2 out of 5 stars) Stickmen Brewing – Happy Valley We stopped in at Stickmen Brewing in Happy Valley and were disappointed with the overall experience. The setup is walk-up style — you order at the bar, and the food is made to order. That’s fine in theory, but in practice it didn’t flow very well. Our food came out at completely different times, so we couldn’t actually eat together. The biggest issue came when it was time to pay. You have to stand in line again at the bar to cash out, and my uncle ended up waiting over 20 minutes just to pay while several staff members stood around. I even asked one of them about helping, and they explained they couldn’t because they weren’t OLCC licensed — and that their manager was running late for their shift. Meanwhile, my uncle had to stay in line or risk losing his spot. On top of that, there were kids running literal laps around the restaurant, ducking under tables, and no one stepped in to manage it. It made the whole place feel chaotic. The bright spot of our visit was Apollo, who made a great pizza and actually communicated with us. They deserve recognition — and honestly, a raise and an OLCC license so they can help customers more effectively. Overall, the food was just okay, but the disorganization and lack of management really hurt the experience. Hopefully they can tighten up service, because the space and concept have potential.

I went here for a nice Friday night dinner with my dad. We got there and bout to order drinks and the lady at the bar said she couldn’t accept my ID. That has NEVER happened to me before. I’ve eaten there plenty of other times and they accepted my ID. I understand that I look young for my age, but I’m 28 and have a VALID STATE ISSUE LICENSE. I was mortified, confused, and a little humiliated. The worse part is the lady wouldn’t tell me why she can’t accept it. Never gave a reason. So therefore I’m no longer coming here if I’m gonna be treated that way. Thanks stickmens pizza you just lost a whole family for your business.

Overall, good place to catch lunch on a weekday. I had a pizza with pear, gorgonzola, and arugula. The mix between the salty sweet gorgonzola dolce, the spicy arugula, and the fruity pear made for a nice bite. One pizza can easily feed two people or one person with eyes bigger than their stomach like me 😊 I paired the pizza with a blackberry ale that was very good and not too sweet. I ended the meal with a nitro coffee porter, that had the right amount of bitterness and coffee taste. It wasn't too creamy or flat like nitros can sometimes be. The lunch price is good, and I look forward to trying more of the pizzas on the menu. It won't knock your socks off, but it makes for a good casual lunch and is reasonably priced.

We were the second couple there at 4:15 pm We ordered a Greek Salad to share and it was good. We ordered a combo pizza that was so burnt they should have never served it. I kept looking for a piece that wasn’t totally black but there was none. This was not fire roasted but fire cremated! Hopefully garbage can enjoyed the pizza. Got too busy didn’t want to reorder and wait longer.

To say the pizza is thin crust would be giving them far too much credit. The crust was about 2mm thick and had disintegrated in parts of the middle. Without exaggeration, it was the worst pizza I’ve ever received at a restaurant. The staff and the atmosphere were fine though, so I’ll give them 2 stars.

We went in the late afternoon and no other customers were inside. Large cavernous area with plenty of seating. We had to order at the counter, pay in advance (plus a tip not knowing anything about the food or service), and seat ourselves. The food was delivered to us but no one ever came back to check on us or the food. One of the pizzas wasnt that good and my wife wouldn't return. We had to bus our own table when we finished.

Food was good, the drinks where even better. Our server Lauren had a great attitude and was super helpful with great recommendations. We will definitely be going back!

Good pizza. Good beer. Very nice laid back spot to open in our little corner. My husband was very impressed and he isn’t easy to impress. This place is new so go easy on these folks. Still working out the kinks but it’s going to be a killer spot to chill

I had a wonderful experience at this brewing company. A lady with beautiful tats offered helpful suggestions and was very friendly. She even visited with us for a little while. My friend and I split the chicken pesto pizza and with a drizzle of hot honey, the pizza was FIRE!!! The space is very large but the warm lighting and delightful staff fill the room.

My first time at Stickmen. We came for trivia night. The place is pretty big. A lot of seating and a small arcade for the kiddos. The menu is mostly pizza with a few salads and appetizer options. They have a good beer selection as well as some ciders, seltzers & wines. Service is order at the bar and they deliver your food. It was quicker than I expected considering how busy it was at the time. I ordered a large chicken ceasar salad and one of their seasonal pizza combos. I took a star off because I thought the food was good not great. I would definitely go back and enjoy it!

I haven't been to the restaurant itself, but I have tried their food through a DoorDash order. Their pizza is delicious! Thin, but with a fully cooked (not floppy) center, amazing sauce and tasty toppings. The store prepared my order exactly as requested. Will order from there again, for sure!

Confirmed, they use less dough and pizza's are much smaller for the same price. The pizza isn't consistent either, depends who's cooking, sometimes it's perfect and sometimes it's so black on the bottom we've had to send it back. You be the judge.

Delicious Caesar salad, delicious combo pizza. Not too heavy. Thin crust. Very good hazy ipa. Overall great time. Beautiful views out the windows.

I love Stickmen's Pizza, it's always fresh and always delicious. It's also on the pricey side, but what isn't now a days?! This location is so clean and open. Tons of seating for big parties. We've been here three times now and the service is always good. Strangely enough, we're not beer drinkers, but we like the pizza so much we just keep coming back. I would love to see some non-alcoholic options, fruit on site maybe sodas or NA beers!

On Monday (6/23/25) at 8 pm we called to specifically ask if they're serving pizzas until 9:30 and answer was yes. We arrived an hour before they closed and the staff told us they aren't serving anymore. Answer was no and the staff complained about having to make the pizza since they were cleaning up. It's sad to see a staff that's not willing to work! If I was the owner I would definitely find some new people who care about their job. Also, from previous experiences this place stops answering their phone at 9pm (has happened at least 3 times) and turns off their open sign early to probably make their shift a bit easier. We have run into this specific staff a few times and is most of the time very unwelcoming and in a bad mood!

Food and drinks are good service is really bad. Seems like folks who work there do not want to work.

Ok been here twice, once for dine in and once to go. Obligated to review since we live so close and to set expectations on how things are run. They are up front on ordering at the bar. Not that big a deal, I just want pizza. I really like the style of pizza here. Thin crust, its about the toppings and a crispy delicious crust. First time I had the sauerkraut special which blew me away. It should be a regular honestly. Great beer selection. I do agree that hopefully in the future they are more full service, but glad to have a light thin pizza option in happy valley.

Messaged on social media and could see it was read, but received no response. "Could you please bring back fresh jalapenos? it's disappointing that you guys got rid of the fresh jalapenos and are doing the same canned jalapenos that both Ranch Pizza and Happy Hollow Pizza down the road have.

Wood fired pizza! What a treat. Great service and wonderful customer service. Nice place for your special gatherings. Excellent for large groups.

Fine option for a random weeknight or a bigger group! Beer was okay, pizza was great, it just took literally forever and we had to remind the kitchen about our order - I think it got lost or forgotten. A generally fine experience but nothing to rave about!

I stopped here for lunch. The food was yummy, but meant to share. Nothing for a single person. the place was really nice and open. Great patio area, minus the bees. I would definitely return with others.

Really good beer selection and excellent service. Will definitely go back and with a growler this time!

Great tap list of their own beers, with rotating experimental brews. Wood fire pizza is great. Perfectly cooked both times I've eaten here, with flavorful sauce and a good amount of toppings.

Great service!!! Love this place! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great! Great place to watch your favorite sports.

do NOT go here unless you want awful service! also, there's never a manager to speak with..

Amazing experience at Stickman's this Saturday to celebrate my daughter's wedding. We loved every part of it! The food was really great. The pizza and beer there is always good but they stepped up SO MUCH with the appetizers! Their charcuterie plates were works of art and with so so much delicious at the same time. So so good. And then the service. The event, which is one of the first they've done there, was so well organized (thank you Caitlin & Cass!!) and everyone who served were so enthusiastic and kind to our families and friends. What a great experience! I heard so many positive reports from all who attended. Thank you so much!! David (father of the bride, Shannon)

Internet out here isn't great so forgive my frustration. Sampled a few beers and decided they all had a "house flavor". That's normally due to equipment cleaners and ambient house bacteria. Settled on the Stickmen American IPA and it was void of the aforementioned "house flavor". Guess I got lucky. Now, for the pizza. Wood fired and delicious. Ordered a Hawaiian - like type and the only thing I would have added was cinnamon and a hint of allspice to the pineapple but they offered a spicy honey dip and it was satisfying. Overall good times and I believe this place adds a little more happiness to Happy Valley : D

One of my favorite breweries in Portland. They offer a Tuesday special - buy a pizza and get any pint for $1. They constantly rotate in new beers and are well priced. Pizzas are a bit small and only good for 2 people priced decently. Sometimes if you're lucky, they'll try to finish out certain beers by offering $4 pints.

I was really excited about this brewery as I'm a big fan of a cold craft beer and dinner in new places. The experience was MEH! Service was poor, food was just okay from a pretty simple menu. Beer was cold - 5 stars for that. I'll spend my time at the better breweries with food.

Ahhh yeah Stickmen! They have sooo much beer! I'm pretty sure they been off site. I like the dark beers so I went heavy on that side of the menu. All great selections. Went here with the whole family because they have plenty of space indoors and outdoors for a crowd. We order half the menu! Five pizzas, two different salads, the charcuterie board and a whole lot of beer. The favorites were the Quattro fromaggi and the capricciosa. But I personally loved the sausage pizza all cooked in a stone oven. It's a great place for kids and the family but to take a star off for the ordering process. The ordering process is lame. Most of the beer list is on the chalk wall but you have to wait in a long line to order beer and food and there's is no food menu until you reach the register. So ordering food can take forever unless you're in Yelp looking at the menu in advance. Give the place a try it's differently with it. If you don't like delicious and crafted pizza with fresh toppings, there is a Dominos next door, have at it! Dis you catch the pro tip?? ;-)

We've visited twice now, and both times were stellar, so I thought it was time for a review. The greeting upon entry has been warm, helpful and friendly both times... and the team behind the bar taking beer and food orders friendly and full of smiles. You don't see service like this as often as you did pre-pandemic and that speaks volumes. The beers we've tried have been cold, crisp, flavorful, balance and worth coming back for. No soapy beers here! The pizza... I love pizza... this pizza is amazing. The crust is perfect, the mozzarella savory and stringy, and the sauces are just right. Red sauce, pesto sauce, yellow tomato sauce, all have been great and the toppings all fresh. As their wood fired oven, imported from Italy, seasons, it will only get better and better. This place is clean... they do a great job making sure you don't have to weed through dirty tables to find a place to sit. My only complaint is that we're moving out of state and won't be able to enjoy it as often. Happy Valley needed this so what are you waiting for? Come in for beer, amazing appetizers, and incredible pizza and support great breweries making a home on the east side.

The place is neat and clean, the downside is it can be busy (people like it) and the beer meets Portland standards, not exceeding them. The 5 stars is for the pizza. While not the best pizza in the PDX area it is the best per-dollar I have found. It's better than most and cheaper than most.

Happened to look this place up and absolutely impressed with it. They have a really cool outdoor seating area along with a very spacious open interior area and large wood fired pizza oven inside. Ordered the salami and olive pizza and it did not disappoint. Extremely flavorful with a blend of olives, and the salami was great. Only one beer for me, the Con O Sin, but loved it!

Beer is ok, BUT what really got me is their pizza. They have a WOOD FIRE OVEN for it, but what a waste of equipment. Just as a suggestion I think your place will really THRIVE if you hire a pizza chef, partner up with somebody or invest into a pizza dough recipe.

Good food but the drinks were inconsistent depending on whom was making it. Lots of people were there watching the sports on the TV. Industrial feel to it.

Lots of great beer options and the pizza is always consistently good. Love the Diavola pizza with pineapple! The staff are super friendly and helpful. The Happy Valley location has quickly become a regular spot for us. People giving this place a bad review need to get the STICKmen out of their asses ;)

-sighs and shakes head- I'm disappointed. Been here three times and the drinks and pizza are good enough but the service? I know it's busy and that flu is going around but come on fam... Bathrooms are clean, but the tables are always full. What's up with that? And management? HAHAHAAH!! Never coming back. Good food but the managers are pricks when it comes to food that comes back because the cooks and/or chef is terrible

2.5 stars if I could...... So it's a little strange that this is almost completely a self serve restaurant.. I find this to be the worst business model adopted after COVID shut down. First: the beer was warm which is just a terrible way to start the dinning experience. Multiple friends and family have shared the same issue and I just thought they were being picky.. OH NO! It's very warm. A warm IPA. NO THANKS. Second. I ordered a pizza with burrata expecting the burrata to come out gooey and warm so that it could be spread around the pizza... but it was near frozen. PS. the ranch you order is hidden valley ranch.. not a fan and it costs $.25. I swear they should swap the beer fridge for the cheese fridge or something. Otherwise the pizza is fairly good.... let's just say I'm not breaking a diet to have this pizza. I would come back if they made changes accordingly. Like making the beer colder for starters!!!

Bad! very bad pizza! Did not enjoy at all! If you Like pizza Stay away! I don't know how they screwed it up!

Spacious place but at the same time very empty. This place needs some sort of foosball table or shuffle board, etc. The ambiance of this place feels dull, maybe that's the vibe they're going for(?) Pizza is good here and the beer selection is limited but a good variety. The service is quick and prompt too. I enjoy the self-serve station they have so you don't need to stand in line to ask for boxes.

Well, we ate here for the first time this last Friday. Not bad. The start, you order at the bar. You order your food and drinks and they ring you up right there. They give you the option of leaving a tip. As a first timer I leave a tip of twenty percent. We get our beers and find a table. Shortly after our pizza arrived. Very good, I loved mine. My wife's crust was a little burned but not over the top. No complaints about the food. My IPA was fine. Wife got the honey beer, weird. No one checked on us, ever. You have to get everything on your own. Napkins, cheese, peppers, water and utensils. They don't do a thing. When your done you're expected to bus your own table. Fine. Next time, no tip. I'll eat here again as I liked the pizza but the complete lack of service is still odd to me. Pay for your food but don't tip. A tip Implies they went above and beyond. Nope, they only take your order and cook your food, the rest is up to you. They never checked to see how our food was or if we needed anything. Three stars for the pizza only, one star for the complete lack of service which is how it's set up. I'm just not a fan of that personally.

Great pizza, great ambiance. The wait is a little long, but we don't mind because we know the pizza is cooked fresh! We love coming here!

I would give you 4 stars, maybe even 5(!) if you toasted the bread with the burrata appetizer. Seriously, it's the difference between a really remarkable appetizer or an appetizer I threw together in the frat house kitchen in college with a baguette from Safeway. Just toast the bread!! Pizza is good. Beer selection is good. Caesar salad is great! Toast the bread!

First time visiting. Like the atmosphere, but we dined as the sun was going down and had to move tables twice to get away from the stream of blinding sunlight into windows (changing the table directions would help this immensely)! Purchased three pizzas. Super good! But the crust had burnt black corn meal everywhere (imagine granular charcoal). Wound up throwing out all the outer crust due to this--is there any way you can get rid of the blackened junk on the bottom of the pizzas? Caesar salad arrived without any dressing. Chicken was bland. Plate was too small for overflowing lettuce. Will definitely go back and try again. It's a new spot in town and obviously still working out the kinks. Happy it's here.

Portland is known for its vast selection of breweries and I believe has been a true pioneer for the evolution of the craft beer industry. Unfortunately, Stickmen is not a brewery I would include in this and quite frankly misses the mark in every single aspect. Truly, there are so many successful breweries in the area that they could 'look up to' with excellent business models. How this business continues to fail time and time again is beyond me. Serve decent food, decent beer, have decent employees- doesn't seem too difficult, but Stickmen raises it to an octave. Let's start with the food- it's gross. I can guarantee the pizza will either be completely over cooked or undercooked, every time. Almost anything you order will be inedible. Whoever in upper management thinks that they're creative for the specialty pizzas they feature each month needs to look into a community college intro to foods class. Or maybe a simple intro to business class, even. What keeps customers coming back? Consistency. You'll never receive this from Stickmen. It might be advisable to focus on producing quality food that tastes good. I don't think people expect much from a brewery in a pitiful strip mall; that's how low quality their food selection is. You'd be better off ordering from Dominos a few doors down. At least you know what you're getting into with them There is absolutely nothing special about the beer. No creativity, no care, not one unique beer, absolutely nothing redeeming. Walk across the street to Fred Meyer and you'll find a much better selection than this sorry excuse for a microbrewery. This brings me to the worst component of the place: the service. Hiring unqualified, lazy, incompetent people who like to sit at the front on their phones and color little kid coloring sheets is perturbing to any customer who will walk out with a $100+ bill for two disgusting pizzas and subpar beer. The very little service you *may* receive will be accompanied with a side of eye roll and attitude. Hearing servers gossip and play with their hair and nails as they stand around an absolutely filthy establishment shows how little these employees know. This location is disgusting. Crumbs covering the counters, dusty everywhere, the bathrooms are constantly in shambles. I've received beer glasses with lipstick marks more often than I have not. Stickmen, your business is clearly failing which is completely deserving. A word to the (not) wise, if you were a knowledgeable business, you'd make improvements to an otherwise great area. The lackluster food, beer, and service will never establish a lasting business, deservingly so. Y'all don't have enough gas in your brains combined to power an ants go-cart half way around a cheerio. Best of luck! I'd highly recommend Ranch pizza up the road, and a 6 pack from Fred Meyers before you ever step foot in this establishment. Don't give this sorry excuse for a brewery a single dime or any of your time.

One of the best pizza's around town. Very underrated. I like the way how they cook it! Firewood pizza ftw!!!

The people have a failing business plan. Fall Winter and Spring they offer only one warm food and drink, tea. These people don't get it. They open locations like Happy Valley that they can not expend People walk in read the menu and walk out. Old beer, cold soda and cold salad. WOW, for 3 months our of the year. WAKE UP PEOPLE. OFFER soup, chicken, sandwiches and hot cider or cocoa. If you really want to be successful EXPAND your lousy menu. And one more thing, TURN ON THE HEAT. People wearing jackets, hats and gloves is moronic.WAKE UP!!!

Overpriced pizza. It tastes okay, but it's not worth the price for a small personal sized pie.

Becoming one of our staples in the happy valley area. Great wood fire style pizza, wide range of beer selection, and very friendly staff! Drew is always welcoming us by name and never fails to make us feel right at home. Def love coming here!!!

Visited the new location. 2nd day since opening. The atmosphere was nice and spacious. You order at the bar, get a number and they bring the food out. You buss your own tables. The pizza was a 3.5/5. Has potential but a bit over baked so the crust was tough and dry. Maybe up the heat but keep in the oven less? Not sure. I like crispy but this was dry bread kinda crispy. Everyone was very nice and they did mention this is their second day so they're trying to get into the groove of things. The Caesar salad was basic and ok. Nothing special or elevated. They serve Illy coffee in the morning. Will be back to try that :)

Haven't had a bad pizza yet. If you like your pizza wood fired,, give them a try. Bees Knees is a good beer choice to go with your pizza.

Caesar salad was ok. They give you little pepper packets and not actual pepper out of a shaker. Pizza was odd...the dough has too much elasticity, very chewy. Beer was good but needs to be colder. Odd that you order from the bar tender. Inside is nice.

Beautiful ambiance- nice big open space inside with plenty of seating outside. We ordered a flight and every beer we tried was pretty good. Service was fast and friendly.

If you like undercooked pizza toppings, then this is the place for you! You're better off going to Dominos a few doors down. Paid $39 got two pizzas- one had crunchy raw potatoes and we were told this is the best they could do (guess they don't know about par baking?). If you add jalapeños they add them on raw after your pizza has baked. The other had so many Calabrian chiles it was inedible. In all fairness, I asked for chiles but there was so many on the pizza it was impossible to eat even for my husband who loves spice. This is a handful of times in our dining experiences over the past ten years that we've asked for a refund.

This is a self serve pizza and brewery - order at counter. You fetch all of your plates & utensils and bus all of your own dishes. They do deliver the food to your table but that's it. That would be okay if the food were any good. Our pizzas were very bleh. The dry dry dry bland crust tasted like supermarket frozen pizza dough. Sauce lacked herbs & spices. Toppings were kinda minimal and pathetic looking. One of the beers was okay. But nothing you can't get at a hundred other places. Looks like they spent a lot of money on the pizza oven and the counters. They should spend more $ and send the kids working there to cooking school. Won't bother going there again. There's a lot better pizza and brew out there.anyone giving this place 4-5 stars has quite obviously got ties to the owners or they have never had actually good pizza.

The beer was sub par for a strong ipa and the pear/Gorgonzola pizza had pears so thin they imparted no taste, and there was no Gorgonzola at all. Bleh!

Place was mids $15 arugula salad with cured beef was pathetic. Not even going to go into detail cause there was none. Get creative. The Potato Rosemary pizza was bland to be honest. Potato and dried rosemary totally missed the mark. Flavor lasted for 1-2 seconds and then nothing. Maybe try a rosemary oil or fresh herbs. The salami picante was decent but lacked toppings. One of my slices didn't even have a topping just cheese and sauce. They honestly have a good crust but poor execution. I think whoever curated that menu needs to add more character to their dishes. Might come back and try something else but I feel like it's going to be difficult to crave this place.
