Tim M.: "(T)he food was so good. We got the Hawaiian and Margarita combo pizza and it was stellar! I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's not JUST mozzarella, and it was the perfect mixture all together... mouthwatering!"

23. Flying Squirrel Pizza Co., Seward Park
Christy N.: "For American style pizzeria can't beat this! Just good old fashioned yumminess from a wide selection of ingredients, good crust, excellent salad and beer selection. A fun twist is they play mix tapes that customers have brought in from back in the day, so if you have an old mix tape and donate it they give ten percent off your meal."

All dishes were great- the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the wood-fired pizza stood out for having a really great quality sauce. Look forward to coming back and trying other dishes"

20. Costco Food Court, Sodo
Nicholas G.: "How Zagat overlooked this culinary thought leader is a mystery to me!
Seriously though, I've driven several times from downtown Seattle with
the excuse in mind that I needed something from Costco (I'm low on 5
gallon jugs of mustard, need another 600 pack of granola bars etc) but
in reality I've made the trip to get a $1.50 hot dog (and soda), a
chicken bake, a slice of pepperoni pizza or a very berry sundae. All
delicious. All high Kirkland brand quality. All priced at a few cents
above cost--amazing."

The pizza is known for its pitch-perfect sauce and wide variety of toppings in seemingly endless combinations. The garlic-rosemary potato is a stone-cold classic, and the pesto is also pretty legendary. Other standouts include the seasonal fruit pizzas (apple! peach! fig!), and the delicious but elusive broccoli."

They sell pizza by the slice up until closing at 2 a.m. I've only had one pizza here on both of the times I've visited this place. I really enjoy the 'Fun-guy' pizza. If you like mushrooms, truffle oil, and garlic...that's pretty much what this pizza is. It is amazing! The slices here are also quite large, so a half order of a pizza is probably good enough for 2-3 people." less

they tried to make a pizza so big, but they couldn't do it. Total
losers. Italian Family Pizza makes the biggest pizzas. The best pizzas.
It's true. Everyone agrees. Nobody makes pizzas as big as they do. This
pizza, it's so big, you can even see it from the moon."
