- pizzaMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I can confidently say this place 100% has the best pizza in Seattle. If you're not a fan of floppy pizza, you absolutely must must must order your pizza extra crispy.
- foodI want to go back and dine in, but probably won’t if it takes this long to get food. I will probably just call ahead and set a time for pickup since the food is good most of the time. Note: I was comped something for how long it took, so that was very nice of the server.
- saucethe dough, the sauce, the cheese, everything is fresh
- crustMy experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The pizza was absolutely delicious, with a perfect thin and crispy crust. The sauce was perfection, not too sweet, and the meats were just great.
- cheesethe dough, the sauce, the cheese, everything is fresh
- cheesy breadWe had a very large late-night group, and the staff was incredibly friendly and took great care of us. The pizza and cheesy bread were delicious.
- pieOrder a pie Togo.. great toppings

- EverythingAlthough it's a little on the pricier side, the Seattle Dog pizza I had tasted great. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out pretty quick. It's worth a stop if you're nearby!

Frequently criticized
- pizzaMy experience was truly one of the worst pizzas I've had in my life. The pizza was dry and cardboard-like, which doesn't even begin to describe how horrible it was, especially since it was their signature pepperoni pizza.
- crustMy friend ended up just having to leave because of how long it took to get his slice (his came out last). Also, one of my slices seemed much older than the other one (colder, cheese looked like it had been sitting, staler crust). I want to go back and dine in, but probably won’t if it takes this long to get food.
- sauceInitially, they provided the wrong pie, but this was rectified without any fuss, which was appreciated. However, the actual pizza itself had significant issues: large, poorly cut chunks of onion, very little sauce, and dough that lacked both taste and color. While the place seems nice with hardworking people, the pizza sadly didn't measure up.

If youre craving creative pizza with a great crust and flavorful sauce, this place often delivers. However, be aware that some experiences highlight blandness, dry crusts, or even serious quality issues like rotten meats. Its a bit of a gamble, so manage your expectations.

Frequently criticized
- waiting timeMy friend and I used to really love this place, but the past few times we’ve gone, we have had at least one issue. This time, it took an hour to get all three of the slices we ordered, and there seemed to be only a few other tables there. My friend ended up just having to leave because of how long it took to get his slice (his came out last).

Frequently criticized
- atmosphereThe pizza was great, though I personally prefer more bread/crust. The atmosphere received a low rating because, outside of the kitchen, it felt like a generic dive bar in Seattle. However, the customers all seemed happy and well-taken care of, which is a positive sign for the service.
- barMy experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The bar wasn’t open, and there was no place to sit. While take out was available, with small kids and a wet day far from home, we had to go to a different place.
- noisyThe only downside, it's a bit noisy
- parkingParking is a bit scarce
- parking lotexcept the parking lot being full
- parking situationsWhile the pizza and beers were great, and it's definitely one of the best "Bang for you buck" places, the parking situation was a significant downside. It's always the best spots with the worst parking situations.
- parking spaceSomewhat difficult to find parking
- place to sitMy experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The bar wasn’t open, and there was no place to sit. While take out was available, with small kids and a wet day far from home, we had to go to a different place.
- signI'm eager to return to explore their good beer and liquor selection and other food items. While parking can be scarce and the sign is hard to find, this spot is a good little hidden gem for pizza. The prices by the slice are very reasonable, though the pie offerings vary.
If you're looking for a spot with a fun, relaxed vibe and plenty of entertainment, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for potential parking challenges and a lively atmosphere that might get a bit noisy, especially if you prefer a quieter setting.

Frequently criticized
- priceMy experience was super mediocre. The pizza was not good and came with very little cheese and toppings for the price. It was incredibly dry and about as good as a thin crust from Domino’s.
- $18$18??
- $40My husband and I are from Chicago and love pizza. He messaged me saying he received the worst pizza he had ever had, calling it "down right gross" and that he "waisted $40. " Initially, I thought he was exaggerating, as I call him "The exaggerator.
- Pricenear $40 for a large pizza (ridiculous
- expensiveToo expensive
- false advertisingThey immediately stated “that was false advertising”
- food wasteadvertised 18.00 worth of food and got 2 slices of pizza
- pizza slices$6+ each for tiny slices
- pricey for a sliceA bit pricey for a slice IMO
- pricier sideMy experience at this small pizza joint was very good. Although it's a little on the pricier side, the Seattle Dog pizza I had tasted great. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out pretty quick.
If you're looking for a good deal, focus on their lunch specials, happy hour, or slices, which many find to be great value. However, be mindful that larger orders or specific items might feel a bit pricey, so choose wisely to avoid disappointment.

Decent Service, Disappointing Pizza
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The service was pretty decent, earning a 4 out of 5. However, the pizza didn't look the best and lacked significant flavor.
Additionally, the price for the pizza slices was high, at over $6 each for tiny portions. The atmosphere was rated a 3 out of 5.

Timeless Pizza Bar with Amazing Service
My experience felt like stepping into a Hallmark movie. The vibe was immaculate and chill, creating a timeless atmosphere where modern worries faded away. The owner, a gentleman with a long white beard and immense charisma, provided insane customer service.
The meatballs were to die for, and the homemade sauce was delicious, even before trying the pizza.

Pastrami Pickles Disappointing Change
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The pastrami pickles were a significant letdown, having changed from dill to bread and butter. This was a huge step down from previous visits, and I'm not a fan of this change : -/.
While the food received a rating of 3, the service was excellent at 5, and the atmosphere was good at 4. The price per person was between $10–20, and the noise level was moderate.

Huge and Tasty Hawaiian Pizza!
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering a family-sized Hawaiian-style pizza. I went inside to place my order and had to wait for it to be made. The wait was fairly quick.
I was impressed watching three guys make my pizza from scratch. The pizza was HUGE, larger than I expected, and I loved the thin crust. It was overall very tasty.
While it wasn't quite New York or Chicago style, it was still delicious. The staff was so friendly, and I was overall very happy with my purchase.
