History
Chef Doug Miriello opened Dimo's in July 2020, in a space which previously housed Burnside Brewing Company and the Danish brewery Mikkeller. Eater Portland's Brooke Jackson-Glidden described the restaurant, named after Miriello's grandmother, as "a new, outdoor, potentially permanent pizza pop-up". In 2021, Dimo's hosted a 420 event in collaboration with Oma's Hideaway and the cocktail pop-up Shipwreck. A special pizza included wood-roasted Chinese eggplant, tomato sambal, lemon, cumin yogurt, herbs, and fried garlic. Some proceeds from the event benefitted Last Prisoner Project, which "aims to rectify the harms of cannabis criminalization". In April 2022, the restaurant served a 4-course dinner meal.

Reception
