It’s the pie, stupid!

Pizza Brava is a cramped, unkempt, greasy-looking little joint in the University District, and in my opinion, offers the best pizza in Seattle. Pizza here suffers from an advanced case of Californication—an unhealthy obsession with esoteric, high-end toppings that obscures a dangerous misunderstanding of the fundamental building blocks of a great pie: crust, sauce (and a distant third) cheese. The most popular pizza places don’t have these things right. Pizza Brava does. I’m sure there are other little mom & pop places in this fair city that are just as good, and hopefully I’ll find them.
