Jazz Night at Pizzario, Hillsboro, Oregon
Tuesday, November 2, 2021


We brought our own wine and paid the $15 corkage fee.
,br>

Pizzario in Hillsboro, Oregon, has live music every night. Tuesday is Jazz Night. For the last three weeks they have had their usual jazz person along with the well known drummer and band leader Ron Steen who plays all over the Portland area. For the last few weeks, the Pizzario website at PizzarioPDX.com has not been working. Hopefully they will get that fixed soon.
