There were also mentions of the crust not always being as crispy as desired, and some felt the portion sizes were small for the price.

- pizzaIt's kind a deep dish pizza almost (as a visual description for some) like having a big pizza on Texas toast. It looked fantastic tasted even better the box was even cool! That's the only location we've ever tried so if you are anywhere near Seattle area and you see a "Moto Pizza" please by all means order a pizza and try it.
- foodEverything about the experience was excellent- food
- crustI'm looking forward to coming back again to try their more creative toppings. The crust was flavorful and crispy, and the pizza was abundant with a variety of toppings. The combination of tomato sauce, vegetables, olives, and meat toppings with the cheese blended well and was very tasty.
- FoodFood always looks and taste as it should
- Detroit-style pizzaI had high hopes, and they were absolutely met. I’ve been wanting to try Detroit-style pizza forever, and this was my first time - and wow, it was amazing! Even as a vegan, I had plenty of options and the flavors were spot on.

- flavorI discovered this cool pizza venue through a friend, and although it's a bit tucked away, it was absolutely worth the trip. I had some of the best Detroit style pizza I've ever tasted, packed with so much flavor! I'll always make a point to visit again when I'm in the area.
- sauceThe sauce was rich, tangy, sweet and had just the right amount of zest, complementing the cheese and toppings without overwhelming the flavors.

- serviceBeing Filipino American, the menu really hits me in the feels with amazing dishes like Adobo and Lechon, and the sweet tomato sauce is all amazing. I love the vibes here; it's super chill with great service. The happy hour from 7-10pm is an amazing deal, perfect for an affordable pizza date with my girlfriend that doesn’t leave me feeling tired and lazy.

Frequently criticized
- called beforehandcalled beforehand to be sure they were open but they didn't answer
- closed earlythey closed early for an event, but didn't post any notice
- contact them by phoneCan’t get ahold of them on the phone either
- customer serviceBottom line: If you’re hungry, order from literally anywhere else. MOTO’s food may be good, but tonight proved their delivery system is a dumpster fire and their customer service couldn’t be bothered to put it out. Unacceptable.
- deliveryI’m restoring most of my rating because MOTO really stepped up and the food remains top-tier. I’m still taking off one star only because reliable delivery is important — especially in Seattle’s rainy season — and I’m hesitant to use their delivery setup again due to the previous Uber Eats issues. That said, I genuinely appreciate how MOTO handled the situation, and I’m glad to say they’ve earned back their spot on our regular rotation.
- delivery systemBottom line: If you’re hungry, order from literally anywhere else. MOTO’s food may be good, but tonight proved their delivery system is a dumpster fire and their customer service couldn’t be bothered to put it out. Unacceptable.
- scheduled timeArrived at scheduled time, and our pizzas hadn't even been started
- staffI've had the Sicilian Pizza with Pesto before and it's delish. As others have said, the staff isn't the kindest. This time, they closed early for an event without posting any notice online.
Overall, if you're seeking a dining experience with genuinely friendly and attentive staff, this place is definitely worth a visit. While the in-house service often earns high praise, be aware that some have encountered minor issues with communication or the delivery system.

- locationParking in that area like in most of Seattle is a challenge but we got really lucky finding a spot out front. Location of the restaurant is kind of a cool place it's down some stairs at the bottom of an old building it's a really neat place but it is kind of a challenge to find and get there. Locals must be super happy of this location.

Delicious Food and Fun Atmosphere!
As a Virgin patron, I'm loving it here! It's a delicious experience. The free arcade added to our dining experience.
The mural by Joseph Brooks is splashy and bold with cheerful loud colors, contributing to a great atmosphere. The main thing though is the food, well done guys/gals, not sure who's laboring in the kitchen, well done.

Delicious Deep Dish Pizza!
I dropped by on my way back to the hotel to try out this pizza place. It's a deep dish pizza, and it was absolutely full of toppings. Although it was advertised as a 2-person pizza, it only came with 4 pieces, but we could only manage one piece each.
Everything we tried was tasty and looked fantastic.

Incredible Pizza Experience at Moto Pizza!
My experience at Moto Pizza was incredible. Visiting from New York, Zariah made us feel right at home. She was so kind and genuinely helped us choose the perfect pizza.
We tried The Pig, and it was absolutely amazing! So flavorful, so unique, and honestly one of the best pizzas we’ve had anywhere. We’re already planning to come back and try it again!
If you’re in the area, please do yourself a favor and go to Moto Pizza. You won’t be disappointed!
