Pizza Jerk is located at 5028 NE 42nd Ave., and it is also home to Mika Paredes's Girls Club pop-up, which just held its first dinner this past Sunday. Pizza Jerk is currently closed. Stay tuned for more developments here on Eater.
Update: The Oregonian spoke with Pizza Jerk manager Tyler Hauptman, who confirms that no one was hurt and says the fire was the result of the electrical box, located in the dining room. The O brings some good news: While the damage in the dining room was "significant," the kitchen and bar were entirely spared.
