History
Solstice first opened in Bingen, WA in December 2006 and we operated there for seven wonderful years. We then built a gorgeous new restaurant and moved to the Hood River, Oregon Waterfront in the fall of 2013. Our opening day was Dec 12, 2013. Our Washington location closed in October 2013. Thanks to our local community, returning visitors, our successful Kickstarter campaign backers, friends, family and investors for making this dream come true!
Specialties
Solstice Hood River is more than a pizza restaurant. It is a destination dining & hospitality experience that unites friends, families, & community with a common love of our region's bounty. Inspired by the Gorge & seasonal harvests from our neighboring farms, our food & beverage menus are chef-driven & handcrafted. We consider ourselves Ambassadors to The Gorge, eager to bring you on a culinary journey through the place we call home. The pride of Solstice are our wood fired pizzas, leavened with old culinary traditions, our dough is made from regionally milled flour, slow-fermented for 72 hours, & fired to a perfect char in our imported Italian oven. While we're honored to be so well known for our wood fired pizzas, we're excited for our guests to try our specials, salads, small plates, pastas, entrees, & elevated classics. Our full bar program complements our dishes with beverage pairings ranging from culinary inspired cocktails, local craft brews, regional ciders & award winning wines to kombucha, house-made shrubs, & zero proof options. Our culinary & bar teams work together to expertly highlight ingredients & artisanal products that have been grown or produced in our backyard. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, feeding a hungry family, or on vacation in the gorge, all are welcome at Solstice. We are proud to offer vegetarian, vegan, & gluten-friendly dietary options to our guests. Please ask about making any pizza with our house made gluten friendly crust!
