Ex Novo Brewing Company

Ex Novo has some fantastic food and beer. A brew pub in Portland really needs to go the extra mile to stand out from the crowd and Ex Novo rises to the challenge. The Detroit style pizza is delicious (even for those that disagree with it being classified as "pizza"). There's plenty of variety for beers on tap and they have cans available if you find something you want to take home. Portions are good sized and while it's certainly not a cheap place to eat it's not going to break the bank either. There do seem to be a number of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. The location is nice and there's a small area for outdoor seating (although the road noise outside is a bit much). Additionally, and importantly, the staff members are kind and charming. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Ex Novo has an awesome atmosphere, great beers and honestly at a pretty reasonable price. We love to drop by here sometimes and try a new beer. Their pizzas are interesting too, they have square Detroit style pizza with 2 different sizes. The pizza is not my absolute favorite but definitely a pizza you should try!

What a great meal! The Forager Detroit Style pizza with a great assortment of mushrooms was delicious! The crust was crispy near the toppings and dinner roll like below! I really like trying this new type of pizza. The Autumn salad was crisp and fresh and dressed with a maple mustard dressing. It was a great accompaniment to the pizza! All of my beer tastes were wonderful! I tried the Penguin Tuxedo Stout, the Mexican Lager, Perle Haggart Pilsner and the Dunkleheit. I would drink any of these options again! Our servers were great and the service perfect. There will be more visits in my future.
