@@atp_3249 Hey thanks! Honestly real estate has been a blast but it’s been way more fun just reconnecting with my passion for film and using it to show people what I love about Seattle.
Been on many pizza quest adventures over the years here in SEA and must say that Post Alley pizza is not to be overlooked…great content Kyle, very well shot & produced!!
@@kyleweberseattleOwner of Post Alley was the executive chef at London Plane, a really esteemed restaurant in Seattle. Guy had serious talent in fine dining before he started, it’s my favorite pizza shop in the city.
Prior to Dantini's residency at Old Log Cabin Distillery, there was Windy City Pie which now has a permanent home in Phinney Ridge neighborhood. I've enjoyed their pizzas all the way back when you had to meet Dave on a street corner to pick up your order. 😂 I prefer their Brrezy Town Detroit style pizza to Moto.
Yeah I’m not a deep dish fan but I’ve had enough recommendations to go try that one! My Friend Derek’s in Fremont/Wallingford is another amazing Detroit style.
My go-to when I'm out and about is a slice from Hot Mama's in Capitol Hill. Pre-pandemic it was my Friday night hangout. They are walk-up and delivery only these days. But in the Beforetimes, you could hang out at the counter or the ONE community table and share some laughs and good pizza. I ended up going to a couple parties with random folks and even some drag queens after a show. I miss that... but the pizza is still rockin. TIP: Get it on a busy night like Friday or Saturday... the turnover is so quick it's always hot and fresh.
Pagliacci is my go to because idk any other Greta pizza places in Seattle but imma try these. Also great quality video. Imma subscribe for sure excited to see more Seattle food vids so that I can try
Great video! I tried Moto out of the Edmonds location in April of 2023, and thought it was just meh. I think it was a 3 month wait at that point. I'll have to try them again. The Alibi Room looks great.
I'm a bit of a pizza snob myself, having grown up in New Jersey and worked in New York. But if you haven't tried it yet, check out Spark pizza in Redmond. Definitely one of my favorite pizza places that I've found.
I tried spark! I gotta say I was disappointed. It has such raving reviews and got a couple recommendations in these comments. I’m thinking I may have gotten a bad batch, but consistency has to be a thing too.
I love “formula brewing” in Issaquah! They have a wood fired pizza oven, and the brewery, plenty of TVs to watch any game or enjoy a nice beer and some pizza out side where they have lots of seating.
@@kyleweberseattle if you’re partial to NY style, you may like Stevie’s Famous, newly operating out of Beacon Hill, which leans more in that direction.
@@mofongotron Yeah I guess to clarify I meant downtown Seattle. They get up to about South Seattle and Leshi area. Great pizza I’ll have to make it over to beacon hill!
This is sort of the definition of a weak food scene in a major city. Good food scenes tend toward easy to find + cheap. I too can make a delicious macadamia nut pesto sundried tomato pasta for $22, but I can't make a $1 taco that tastes just as good.
I was literally just talking to my wife about how Seattle has a weak pizza game and how I want good pizza lol. Crazy timing, I appreciate this video. Deeply.
After taking a pizza cooking class in Italy, I've tried a new pizza place in Seattle every week. I've probably tried over 20 now. Of course, some were misses but Seattle definitely has good pizza. Check out Tivoli (Italian-American) in Fremont, Lupo (Neopolitan) in Fremont, Independent Pizzeria (New York-Neapolitan) in Mad Park, My Friend Derek's online (Detriot) and my personal all-time favorite, Galileo's (Neopolitan) which is a food cart so you can find it at Fremont Markets, the Bite, or Farmer's Markets down south.
That sounds like an incredible experience! Great recommendations, thanks for the list! My friend Derek’s is closed for the summer but is hands down the best Detroit style in the city. Moto kind of more does Lee’s own thing with a Detroit inspiration.
@@kyleweberseattle oh it’s very possible it’s from another person too, but Gee Scott always says “always be kind” after their 10am-noon show lol! ;) I’m a local here too lol.
It's 20 mins north of Seattle but there's a place called spartas pizza, it's one of my favorites, I keep trying to get them to open one on the other side of the state.
I love Serious Pie. I especially loved Serious Pie and Biscuits in SLU before it closed (gone too early, best breakfast sandwiches). I especially like their take-away dough to make at home. But if I’m comparing flatbreads, I prefer Alibi Room.
As a West Seattle local, I feel guilty that I haven't committed to getting to MOTO yet since it had such a long wait before. I personally really enjoy the pizza at Supreme off of California Ave. It certainly has that dive bar feel to it, but the pizza's great, and you can order by the slice if you don't want to pick up a whole pie. Definitely going to check out Alibi Room and Dantini after seeing this. Thank you for sharing! - Gary
If you think Pagliacci’s is great, I can’t take you serious with the conversation. They have quality toppings, but the most important aspect of a pizza is a good crust. If I don’t need ranch for the bones, there is an awesome potential.
@@anthonyhernandez3569 haha I would say that it’s a great example that you need to look past the surface level to get through the over-priced mediocrity.
I've recently moved here from NYC and have been super disappointed by the pizza scene and a lot of the foods that Yelp and other folks consider fantastic. Since I learned that J. Kenji Lopez-Alt moved to Seattle, I saw he went to Ananas. Gave it a shot and loved it! It's a relatively new place and the dough is amazing. I am willing to give the pizzas a shot from the video you placed. I've subscribed to you! I'm looking forward to learning more about the food scene here!
Kenji is awesome and I’ve been meaning to make my way to Ananas! Gonna have to make it my next pizza outing. Thanks! Excited to share the new food content I’ve got coming up.
We live in Seattle. My partner is from Italy, and we typically prefer to make pizza at home. When we don’t have the time, the go-to is typically Via Tribunali, as that is closest to Neapolitan pizza. But the best pizza in town is made on our patio.
Would add - Delancey, Independent Pizzeria (for their clam pizza), Bar Cotto or Rionne xiii (mushroom truffle pizza) to this list. Such a well shot and produced film about pizza- Congratulations!! ❤
Just because I don’t mention it doesn’t mean it isn’t great, but if I have to pick between Rocco’s and Dantini, I’d pick Dantini. Rocco’s is a solid spot though.
So as someone whose lived in the PNW his whole life 24 in Eastern Washington and 5 now in Westerm Oregon, and as someone who loves pizza it's kinda disappointing we don't have a regional pizza style. IF one could just make a regional pizza style, I'd make 2 for the PNW, 1 for the East side, 1 for the West side, as both Oregon and Washingooo8ton are divided pretty much in half by the Cascade Mountains. I would use a Southdough base for each pizza. with the Westside I would do a thin round crust, with a white sauce, clams, mushrooms and Arugula. with the Eastside, I thick square crust, a red sauce, seasoned ground beef, Walla Walla onions, and jalapenos.
Pagliacci has great pizza? Maybe I'll have to try them again, the stuff they forced down our throats in the UW dorms was awful 😂 interesting spots in this video, looking forward to checking them out! Surprised a number of other spots didn't make the list like Sunny Hill, Delancey, or Bar Del Corso.
@@Armondahad I don’t think anything has changed for pagliacci lol. Solid sure, but I wouldn’t say great. Definitely try these if you haven’t! This list certainly isn’t exclusive and those are all great options. Delancey has gotten tons of love in the comments for sure.
I looked into Seattle's pizza scene because of you and apparently, they're not bound by tradition, they use fresh ingredients, and they have something to prove. Definitely putting Seattle on my list.
Granted, it's technically a chain but I do enjoy Pagliacci's. Might be a bit of nostalgia but lived in the U-District while attending UW in the late 90's/early 2000's. Now I'm living just outside Mount Rainier National Park and miss those Pagliacci's pizza. By the way, great video and information. Much appreciated!
I would definitely add Windy City Pie to this list if you're in the mood for a deep dish style pizza. Talaricos in West Seattle isn't bad either. I assume the Ballard location is just the same.
The Yucatán pizza from Candela Pizza is mind blowingly delicious. Never had anything remotely like it. Roasted pork and plantains, onions, cotjia and mozzarella cheese. It’s a food truck; they hit various locations around Seattle.
I grew up in Seattle(Queen Anne Olympia Pizza) and discovered over time that Spiros is a style of pizza(Greek I think) you can find in many places in the region. Gig Harbor, Everett, Shoreline, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens. Not everyone likes this style but its my favorite.
Love Alibi room, haven't had the other two. Cornelly on capital on Cap hill is the best pizza I've had in Seattle. Small sit down restaurant that opened and survived during covid. Often on a wait, but I usually get it to go living just a block away.
I have no idea why, but the bread/crust tasted so different in Seattle. I never enjoyed pizza in Seattle for that reason. I did, however, love the seafood, teriyaki places, and vegetarian spots.
@@kyleweberseattle It was 10 years ago, so I can't remember the exact places I tried. Will definitely have to check out the spots you recommend the next time I go back.
Fiddlers inn, Delfinos and Milanos were my go to pizza in the area. Of course Tutta Bella and Northlake Pizza Tavern too. Pagliacci is predatory employers.
They’re actually expanding quite rapidly! I know Lee’s got everything worked out to be consistent with his robots automating everything, but I hope the quality keeps up.
I moved up to Seattle from Portland, and I didn’t think that much about the Portland food scene when I lived there, but it really is better than Seattle.
Proletariat Pizza is my personal Seattle favorite. I've been to NYC and that's the gold standard for me. But if I need to satisfy my NY pizza craving I go to Proletariat. It's NY/Brooklyn style and it's amazing pizza outside of NY.
@@kyleweberseattle I live literally, and I mean LITERALLY, 75 feet from the first MOTO in west seattle and I still haven't tried it. Mostly because it's been wait listed for MONTHS but also because a personal pizza sized pizza is 23 bucks?! I guess it just upsets me how against the working class seattle has become. But that's a whole other issue altogether haha.
Lived here my entire life and will say that Seattle is not a pizza city. We have some solid places to go, but overall we make weird pizza. We have our own vibe here and frankly the best pizza I've had here is usually something not on anyone's menu. We recently got a local spot to do a bit of a custom pie and whelp now it's a menu item. To me a benchmark for pizza is how good your classic cheese is and what your cheese blend is going to be. Gotta grate and freeze the mozz.....
Pretty much in agreement here, just gotta find the right places. Seattle is more of a “someone does a good job, everyone doesn’t” city But Dantini is for real.
"You wouldn't think that you need roasted garlic smothered all over your pizza...." What? Where ARE you from?! OF COURSE I need roasted garlic smothered all over my pizza!
If you could only find 3 decent places in a major city then it is pretty clear that it is in fact not a pizza city. In Brooklyn, NY you can find 3 solid spots in a 20 minute walk radius.
Not a pizza city lol, but there are definitely more than three highlights! It’d start with these and branch out to some others that got repeat shoutouts in the comments.
@@kyleweberseattle You did a great job. There were shots of the food, but you really captured the vibe of each place and the interviews were great. Looking at all the other positive comments... I wouldn't let this one influence you. I mean, the point is to go try them and see for yourself, right?
These are all part and fade pompidore, 40 beers on tap hipster pizza places. what about Bar Cotto and Tutta bella. Neopalitan style wood fired pizza. This style pave the way for new York coal fired pizza. Edit I would like to try these pompidore style pizzas tho.😊
I hear what you’re saying, but none of these places are that at all. Alibi Room is almost a dive bar, Moto is more of a grab ‘n go, and Dantini is a pop up hidden inside a distillery. The Masonry in Queen Anne will definitely fit that vibe though lol. Nonetheless, still good pizza!
Couldn’t say if Seattle is, or is not a pizza city. But Portland sure the hell is…Ken’s Artisan, Apizza Scholls, Double Mountain, pizza fina, could add 30 more.
I haven’t been to Portland since 2019, but I feel like if I’m going to a city for pizza I’ll be flying to Phoenix, unironically. Very due for a visit to Portland though, will try these out!
That stuff is Transplant Pizza, made by people that moved to Oregon rather than those who grew up there. Real old school Columbia River-style pizza started in Longview, WA back in the 1950s and has a distinctive dual-layer texture with a very thin cracker crust baked on cornmeal covered by a chewy, very bubbly top layer.
Dantini is a revelation. inSANEly great… we drive 45 minutes to get pizza there. If you have the good fortune to try it, it’ll probably be the best you ever have.
Yeah but living in Seattle I had to search my way through mediocrity to find the good ones (and you will), I wish it was as accessible as somewhere like Portland.

Delfinos beats it out, but wouldn't rave about Delfinos much either.
I want to try the garlic confit pizza!! Yummmmmm
It's so good! Gotta hang out at old log cabin. They actually have more than whisky too they do tequila and vodka and gin all made locally.
My go-to when I'm out and about is a slice from Hot Mama's in Capitol Hill. Pre-pandemic it was my Friday night hangout. They are walk-up and delivery only these days. But in the Beforetimes, you could hang out at the counter or the ONE community table and share some laughs and good pizza. I ended up going to a couple parties with random folks and even some drag queens after a show. I miss that... but the pizza is still rockin.

That’s a great one! I attribute a slice at Hot Mama’s or a Seattle dog as the Capital Hill nightcap.
Not the same customer service succs😅
As other's have said... Fantastic video. Detailed, concise, elite editing and videography. Well done. Will be subscribing. Keep it up!

Thanks! I was in the same boat, Pagliacci was all I had before I found others.
47yr. resident; I think we've always had great pizza options here. And thankfully, one of them ISN'T Mario's Pizza!!
It’s brought up a bit too often when there’s more standout options!

Could you tell me which brand is your sweater at the start of the video (maroon one) ? really loved it.
@@adityaakshay1 haha gotchu! Brand is called Artefact, I think it’s from Stitch Fix.

I love “formula brewing” in Issaquah! They have a wood fired pizza oven, and the brewery, plenty of TVs to watch any game or enjoy a nice beer and some pizza out side where they have lots of seating.
Sounds great!
Personally, I would go for Bar Del Corso, Stevie’s Famous, Post Alley Pizza, West of Chicago Pizza Company, Delancey, and Cornelly.
Honestly some solid picks! I don’t think there’s a “best” but I lean Dantini as someone partial to a NY style.
@@kyleweberseattle if you’re partial to NY style, you may like Stevie’s Famous, newly operating out of Beacon Hill, which leans more in that direction.
@@mofongotron They just started delivery but not quite to Seattle, I’ll have to make my way over there! I’d only had the Burien one.

@@mofongotron Yeah I guess to clarify I meant downtown Seattle. They get up to about South Seattle and Leshi area. Great pizza I’ll have to make it over to beacon hill!
People complain about the food scene being weak in Seattle but if you have a car and a lot of money there are plenty of options.
As much as you have to “know the right spots” in Seattle, there’s still a chance to stumble in somewhere and be blown away.
Yes! Agreed
This is sort of the definition of a weak food scene in a major city. Good food scenes tend toward easy to find + cheap. I too can make a delicious macadamia nut pesto sundried tomato pasta for $22, but I can't make a $1 taco that tastes just as good.
@@VegasTechno nailed it.
It depends on your baseline. I lived in Manhattan for 10 years and Seattle kind of sucks in terms of restaurants.
So glad to see Dantini getting the recognition it deserves!
@@deckard2123 Agreed! So good.
Big fan of Belltown Pizza!!! Prosciutto wrapped jalapeno poppers and NY style pizza and calzones!! So good!!
@@PelletSmokerOverload those poppers are no joke! Only have had the pizza once but it was solid.
I was literally just talking to my wife about how Seattle has a weak pizza game and how I want good pizza lol.
Crazy timing, I appreciate this video. Deeply.
Old Log Cabin/Dantini is a great date night! I would start with that, but depends on which style pizza you like most.
I just learnt to making it really well myself after moving here in 2014. Chicago, Neapolitan, roman, Sicilian
Dantini.
Def check out dantini bro. Some of the best crust I’ve ever had

Yoooo! The ranch part had me rollin! lol
Just speaking truth lol
NORTHLAKE TAVERN. It's now owned by Big Mario's but they still produce the pie they are famous for. Just ask for a Classic Logger Special.
“Always be kind” someone listens to the Gee and Ursula show on Kiro 97.3fm lol. 4:24

Are you saying that Rocco's isn't on your list?

Just moved to Washington from Hawaii, subscribing and. Be on the look out for place you recommend

Man I hope they get out of their food truck days so I can track it down, that sounds incredible.
Dantini is the best I’ve had in Seattle. Plus holy mountain brewery next door is some of the best beer in Seattle as well.
That whole little spot is actually a great rainy-day hideout.
i've tried alibi room and can confirm its excellent! crispy thin crust, clean quality pizza

Stevie's in Burien is pretty legit. Great video!
Thanks!
Oh yeah Stevie’s is my joint
Great 👍🏿 video, I loved Alibi Room and have been going for years. Great happy hour menu too
Thanks! One of my favorite spots in that area for a late night bite too.
I’m going to Seattle in July and want to try Moto.
Do it! The KISSD is my favorite there. Try the belltown location if you’re downtown.
Delancey and serious pie are great too
Love serious Pie! Miss the location in SLU their breakfast sandwiches were incredible.
Great recommendations and video
Glad you like them!
Fiddlers inn, Delfinos and Milanos were my go to pizza in the area. Of course Tutta Bella and Northlake Pizza Tavern too. Pagliacci is predatory employers.
Great recommendations!
Moto seriously needs to find a way to expand. Another pizza oven, another location, another space-time continuum?
They’re actually expanding quite rapidly! I know Lee’s got everything worked out to be consistent with his robots automating everything, but I hope the quality keeps up.
All look so delicious. I need to get back to Seattle!
You should!
I moved up to Seattle from Portland, and I didn’t think that much about the Portland food scene when I lived there, but it really is better than Seattle.
I wouldn’t argue too much against that haha, but there’s a lot of highlights making the most of what we have here.
Shout out to Pizza Gallery in Burien. I love the BBQ chicken pizza.
Couple recommendations from Burien, I’ll have to make my way out!
@kyleweberseattle Yeah it's a super popular place!
Alibi Room is truly legit. The best pizza I had there was their Green Eggs and Ham. I don’t remember what was on it but it was amazing.
I’ve never gotten this one when I go, but I’ve always heard good things.
Proletariat Pizza is my personal Seattle favorite. I've been to NYC and that's the gold standard for me. But if I need to satisfy my NY pizza craving I go to Proletariat. It's NY/Brooklyn style and it's amazing pizza outside of NY.
So many underrated spots in White Center!
The problem is there isn't any AFFORDABLE pizza here.
Seriously, why is every pizza $35+
That being said, these three places actually range from $18-$25 which is definitely in the correct ballpark.
@@kyleweberseattle I live literally, and I mean LITERALLY, 75 feet from the first MOTO in west seattle and I still haven't tried it. Mostly because it's been wait listed for MONTHS but also because a personal pizza sized pizza is 23 bucks?! I guess it just upsets me how against the working class seattle has become. But that's a whole other issue altogether haha.
@@tylergibson7652 oh those “personal” pizzas are definitely a two person job. They’re thick!
Slice Box in SODO is hands down the spot to get a slice.
I usually lean towards Post Alley for a slice, but you’re not wrong there! I just don’t find myself in Sodo enough outside of games and concerts.
Picora’s was a decent slice if you enjoy NY style
Definitely one I haven’t heard of! Where is that?
@@kyleweberseattle I just saw that it closed in 2014. I didn’t know. My apologies. I moved from Capital Hill in 2010 so I was unaware.
@@robertsanssouci2093 The good ones are always gone haha. No worries!
We just purchased two and the clam pizza is our favorite.
Nice, it’s such a PNW pizza! My fav is the hot honey pepperoni.
Is that a King Seiko?
Omega!
I miss Piecora's❤ it was sooo good😢
A solid replacement if you’re into NY style- Dantini is right up your alley!
Kenji Lopez Alt continuously touts Windy City Pie as some of the best pizza he has ever had. I would give that place a try.
I’m really not into deep-dish personally, but I do feel like I have to try that one!
@@kyleweberseattle .... dude... me either. - trust!
@@omgitsjulian those were the words I needed to hear lol. I’m there.
Seattle, I believe has the most Neapolitan pizzerias per capita. Famously, Tutta Bellas in Columbia City and Fremont.
Did not know that! Shoutout to Via Tribunali as a fun spot for Neapolitan.
Lived here my entire life and will say that Seattle is not a pizza city. We have some solid places to go, but overall we make weird pizza. We have our own vibe here and frankly the best pizza I've had here is usually something not on anyone's menu. We recently got a local spot to do a bit of a custom pie and whelp now it's a menu item. To me a benchmark for pizza is how good your classic cheese is and what your cheese blend is going to be.
Gotta grate and freeze the mozz.....
Pretty much in agreement here, just gotta find the right places. Seattle is more of a “someone does a good job, everyone doesn’t” city
But Dantini is for real.
Another place is Delancey in Seattle's Ballard district.
I’ve had this recommended to me a few times, I need to make my way over there!
Yes! An absolute must visit!
"You wouldn't think that you need roasted garlic smothered all over your pizza...." What? Where ARE you from?! OF COURSE I need roasted garlic smothered all over my pizza!
Haha some people can be very “pizza purist” with their toppings but I agree, you DO need it.
If you could only find 3 decent places in a major city then it is pretty clear that it is in fact not a pizza city. In Brooklyn, NY you can find 3 solid spots in a 20 minute walk radius.
Not a pizza city lol, but there are definitely more than three highlights! It’d start with these and branch out to some others that got repeat shoutouts in the comments.
Love the talaricos shout out even if it wasn't featured
Might be unpopular opinion but I prefer Talaricos over Rocco’s, and they’re very similar.
Want good pizza? Get on the ferry and go to Sourdough Willie’s in Kingston. You’re welcome.
Will have to check this out.
Johnny Mo's on Eastlake is the only place I've found that does NY/NJ style properly. Pagliacci has fallen off so hard over the years.
Gotta try Dantini’s NY for sure.
Dantini is fantastic - their grandma pie is one of the best pizzas I've ever had without question. It's kind of dangerous I live so close to it.
I have a hard time trying new places because of Dantini lol
Verrazano’s in Federal Way and Breezy Town Pizza in Seattle. 🔥
Man breezy town is closed ugh.
@@kyleweberseattle that just made me mad lol
@@brandonderrick006 I know we lost Blotto this year too.
I love pizza, but I ain’t going anywhere near Seattle😂
Why not?
Salamone’s Pizza in Tacoma is straight up NY FIRE. Best NY in PNW I've found.
I’m gonna have to give this a try if I find myself over in Tacoma!
If you're south go check out Carlson Block
try Spiro’s in shoreline
Looks promising!
more shots of the food would be nice
Agreed, but hopefully this gave you an idea of what to expect trying these spots.
@@kyleweberseattle You did a great job. There were shots of the food, but you really captured the vibe of each place and the interviews were great. Looking at all the other positive comments... I wouldn't let this one influence you. I mean, the point is to go try them and see for yourself, right?
These are all part and fade pompidore, 40 beers on tap hipster pizza places. what about Bar Cotto and Tutta bella. Neopalitan style wood fired pizza. This style pave the way for new York coal fired pizza.
Edit I would like to try these pompidore style pizzas tho.😊
I hear what you’re saying, but none of these places are that at all. Alibi Room is almost a dive bar, Moto is more of a grab ‘n go, and Dantini is a pop up hidden inside a distillery.
The Masonry in Queen Anne will definitely fit that vibe though lol. Nonetheless, still good pizza!
I wish I wasn’t borderline diabetic and on a strict keto diet because that’ll put me in a coma, a wonderful pizza coma 🍕
Couldn’t say if Seattle is, or is not a pizza city. But Portland sure the hell is…Ken’s Artisan, Apizza Scholls, Double Mountain, pizza fina, could add 30 more.
I haven’t been to Portland since 2019, but I feel like if I’m going to a city for pizza I’ll be flying to Phoenix, unironically. Very due for a visit to Portland though, will try these out!
@@kyleweberseattle PDX consistently ranked best pizza city in USA!
That stuff is Transplant Pizza, made by people that moved to Oregon rather than those who grew up there. Real old school Columbia River-style pizza started in Longview, WA back in the 1950s and has a distinctive dual-layer texture with a very thin cracker crust baked on cornmeal covered by a chewy, very bubbly top layer.
@@rositis all pizza is transplant pizza. The focus here is on good, world class pizza, and PDX has it in virtually any and all styles.
Dantini slaps
Dantini is a revelation. inSANEly great… we drive 45 minutes to get pizza there. If you have the good fortune to try it, it’ll probably be the best you ever have.
Agreed! It’s really a BIG standout for me on pizza.
Brooklyn Bros up north is the best NY Style around.
I would say you need to go try Dantini, but I’ve not tried Brooklyn Bros. I’ll have to put it on my radar.
Yo pagliaccis is just aight… best in my opinion Good Shape, Dino’s, Vera’s, and Delancey
Humble pie is my favorite
I haven’t been there in too long, will have to go back.
Much like Cleveland is a pizza city only in that it is 3 hours from Detroit, Seattle is a pizza city in that it is only 3 hours from Portland…
You have to drive all the way down to Chehalis before you start to find Columbia River-style pizza.
Yeah but living in Seattle I had to search my way through mediocrity to find the good ones (and you will), I wish it was as accessible as somewhere like Portland.
Super underated ranch dressing review. Ranch makes the pizza joint in a way, you don't want a pizza joint that uses hidden valley😂
Strega ballrd, golden garden detriot style pizza... you're welcome
Yeah this is gonna be a must try for me. Did this open recently?
