I want to try the garlic confit pizza!! Yummmmmm

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

[@TheGingeneer]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

[@weirddingus4620]

Delfinos beats it out, but wouldn't rave about Delfinos much either.

[@EricaGamet]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

That’s a great one! I attribute a slice at Hot Mama’s or a Seattle dog as the Capital Hill nightcap.

[@Crownmonique]

[@dentari2626]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

[@needum9212]

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

[@kyleweberseattle]

Thanks! I was in the same boat, Pagliacci was all I had before I found others.

[@mofongotron]

Personally, I would go for Bar Del Corso, Stevie’s Famous, Post Alley Pizza, West of Chicago Pizza Company, Delancey, and Cornelly.

[@kyleweberseattle]

Honestly some solid picks! I don’t think there’s a “best” but I lean Dantini as someone partial to a NY style.

[@mofongotron]

@@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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

@@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]

@@kyleweberseattle I’m not sure what you mean; the new Beacon Hill location is in Seattle and they deliver to the local area, which is also Seattle.

@@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!

[@SenorChubbs420]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

Alibi Room is such a great haunt. Really feels like a place a bit frozen in time.

[@sabrinalee417]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

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

Thanks Gary! Yeah definitely give them a try!

[@billalbert8990]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

Do you make your own dough? We typically like to get our dough from either Delaurenti, Serious Pie, or Trader Joe’s.

[@nickpetrowski6873]

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.

[@anthonyhernandez3569]

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.

[@benandring365]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

Oh dude I’d love that! There definitely isn’t a “Seattle” or “Washington” style at all.

[@orionvassi]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

[@MinimumEffortMedia]

Yes! Agreed

[@VegasTechno]

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.

[@MinimumEffortMedia]

@@VegasTechno nailed it.

[@knoef82]

It depends on your baseline. I lived in Manhattan for 10 years and Seattle kind of sucks in terms of restaurants.

[@KevinBye-ig2ev]

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!

What about Serious Pie?

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.

[@Armondahad]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

@@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.

[@Raaaaaazr]

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.

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

I have a hard time trying new places because of Dantini lol

Is that a King Seiko?

[@kyleweberseattle]

Omega!

[@DocSkirv]

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.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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!

[@DocSkirv]

@@kyleweberseattle PDX consistently ranked best pizza city in USA!

[@rositis]

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.

[@DocSkirv]

@@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.

Salamone’s Pizza in Tacoma is straight up NY FIRE. Best NY in PNW I've found.

[@kyleweberseattle]

I’m gonna have to give this a try if I find myself over in Tacoma!

[@Garlander]

If you're south go check out Carlson Block

Stevie's in Burien is pretty legit. Great video!

Thanks!

ian's in cap hill is good too.

[@kyleweberseattle]

Ian’s used to be a go to for me! I was really into their ranch lol. But after trying a few more Ian’s is just a little…bready. You know what I mean?

@@kyleweberseattle I feel you. The sauce can be thin sometimes.

[@karliekek]

more shots of the food would be nice

[@kyleweberseattle]

Agreed, but hopefully this gave you an idea of what to expect trying these spots.

[@shanemichaud3011]

@@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?

Brooklyn Bros up north is the best NY Style around.

Why not?

Yo pagliaccis is just aight… best in my opinion Good Shape, Dino’s, Vera’s, and Delancey

[@DukeTrout]

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…

[@rositis]

You have to drive all the way down to Chehalis before you start to find Columbia River-style pizza.

[@kyleweberseattle]

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.
