The 12 Best Pizza Spots in Seattle, Washington

This “pizzeria con cucina” (pizzeria with kitchen) boasts wood-fired pizza, from traditional Margherita to Corno Di Capra with house-made sausage, and small Italian dishes, such as meatballs or mussels. The restaurant does not leave one detail overlooked, complete with local and seasonal produce, a chef (and general manager) who has worked in a Michelin-rated Italian restaurant, bread and desserts made in-house, and salumi, cheese, and wines of the Italian persuasion.

This “pizzeria with a bread baker’s soul” is the real deal. It all starts with the dough, hand-crafted over several days. With ingredients taking advantage of the region’s bountiful produce or being made in-house (hello, charcuterie), pies are cooked in a 600°F stone-encased applewood-burning oven built nearby in Bellingham. Check out the communal seating in Serious Pie’s main dining room for seriously delicious pizza.

This 21-and-up establishment does Neapolitan-style pizza and offers happy hour from 2 pm to 5 pm. Famous for their meatballs, The Masonry believes in fresh ingredients, allowing seasonal inspiration in the menu. With a second location in Fremont, The Masonry is “bringing the best of draft beer and wood-fired pizza to Seattle.”

Originally a “traveling wood-fired pizza company,” the Seattle-based Veraci Pizza has grown over the past decade into two brick-and-mortar spaces in Seattle (Ballard and Wedgwood). All dough is handmade in a mixing bowl (as opposed to an electric mixer), and pizzas are cooked for a minute and a half in their 1,000°F clay ovens. They also cater!

Basking in the pizza-making traditions of Naples, Via Tribunali is about as authentic as it gets—in the U.S. or otherwise. Their authentic wood-burning brick oven was assembled by a Neapolitan craftsman, using bricks made from the ashes of Mt. Vesuvius (think Pompeii), so it comes as no surprise that they are part of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Since they first opened in 2004, they have expanded to an additional three locations in Seattle: Georgetown, Fremont, and Queen Anne.
