Portland Mercury’s Pizza Week is underway in Portland, with 70 restaurants serving limited-run pizza specials through Sunday, April 26. (portlandmercury.com) The deal is fixed across the event: $4 for a featured slice, or $25 for a whole pie at participating spots that choose to offer one. Portland Mercury says some venues are selling slices and pies, while others are offering whole pies only. (portlandmercury.com) The event runs from Monday, April 20, through Sunday, April 26, and the specials are spread across bars, pizzerias, and restaurants around the city. Travel Portland’s event listing also describes it as a citywide promotion with various locations rather than a single festival site. (travelportland.com) This year’s menu is built around one-off pizzas rather than standard menu slices. Portland Mercury’s event page says the week features “one-of-a-kind, creative slices,” and Axios Portland highlighted specials including Atlas Pizza’s “Kim (chi)-Possible,” Fire on the Mountain’s “GOAT Father,” and Boxcar Pizza’s “Banh To Be Wild.” (portlandmercury.com) (axios.com) Pizza Week has become one of the Mercury’s recurring food promotions, alongside events like Burger Week and Sandwich Week. Older Portland Mercury archive pages show the publication has been running Pizza Week for years, turning discount food weeks into a regular part of Portland’s spring events calendar. (portlandmercury.com 1) (portlandmercury.com 2) The format is simple: restaurants create a special item, the price is standardized, and diners move from shop to shop. EverOut’s listing says the promotion runs daily during the week, and Portland Mercury is also pushing a Pizza Week Pass tied to prize drawings for people who log their stops. (everout.com) (portlandmercury.com) The range of participants is part of the draw. Portland Mercury and partner listings say the event includes traditional pizzerias as well as bars and other food businesses, which lets newer or smaller operators put a single specialty slice in front of a large citywide audience. (portlandmercury.com) (travelportland.com) For diners, the clock is short: the current run ends Sunday, April 26, and the full restaurant list is being maintained on Portland Mercury’s Pizza Week page. After that, the specials disappear with the week. (portlandmercury.com)
