I would allow myself to support this place, even with their inflated prices on pizza, if they servied dessert pie too. Pros: pizza Cons: no dessert pie

A welcome addition to the local pizza scene. 2/6/2007

I'll admit that I'm an East Coaster who always complains about the lack of decent pizza in Seattle and even after two visits to this place I am still complaining...but I love Serious Pie! It's more of an artisan flatbread than a pizza but it's still fantastic. The crust is thin and the toppings are inventive but not scary. The traditional tomato and basil pie is great but the specials are really outstanding. I would never consider some of the toppings to be acceptable pizza toppings but Tom Douglas makes them work together and they are delicious. The house Chianti is great, too. On my first visit, everything was perfect. On the second, they were out of the house Chianti, the salad was way too salty and the waitress terrible - boring and unapologetic, not to mention uninformed about the menu. The pizza was so good that I will give it another try, though. Pros: Great pie Cons: Inconsistent service, crowded, loud more

Seriously...Okay pizza. 2/3/2007

I really was looking fwd to Tom Douglas's latest but it was just okay. I thought that the fennel sausage pizza that I selected was okay but overly charred underneath and overpriced. The place is almost take-out casual. I'd try them again but maybe get the pizzas to go. Skip the desserts here and go next door to the Dahlia Bakery (also Tom Douglas owned) and get the coconut cream pie. It's a local favorite. Pros: Unique pizzas Cons: Prices more

Good, not great, Pizza 1/19/2007

I went with some friends to Serious Pie a few weeks ago. he biggest problem I had was with the pizza crust ? they?re using cheap flour, flavorless yeast, and they?re not letting the dough sit long enough. The taste and texture was consistent with regular old all purpose flour, fast-acting yeast, and a two hour rise time with a punch-down half way through. I thought the toppings were decently tasty but the crust really ruined the whole pie for me. We had a rosemary and new potato pizza and a less-good butternut squash pizza. Great wine selection, but I think that?s because my friend is great at pairing wines and picked out just the right thing to go with what we?d ordered. We tried the cannoli, honey ice cream, and fruit pie for desert. Again, all were good, just not great. Which would be fine if Serious Pie didn't charge ""great"" prices. Pros: Decent Food Cons: The crust just isn't up to snuff more

Casual Tom 1/2/2007

I love TD's restaurants and this one is no exception. Casual and upscale environment - nice but super loud and hard to have a conversation. Needs a couple more pizza options on the menu but the special the day I was in included a basil/prosciutto option and it was amazing - this one should be added as an item on the regular menu. The crust is not authentic (like Via Trib on Cap Hill) but tasty! Fun for lunch. Pros: Tom Douglas, service Cons: Loud more

Gourmet pizza at it's best 12/20/2006

No it's not Pagliacci's, Zeek's, Belltown Pizza or Romio's. It's GOURMET... So if you're looking for the classical pizza experience here, you will be disappointed. Ask yourself, is one suppose to drink a fine red wine with ordinary pizza? I would think not, but at Serious Pie expect the extraordinary. Great rustic atmosphere, cozy surroundings, and friendly staff. As for the gourmet pie, fresh ingredients, thin light crust, nice balance of flavor and wonderful presentation. My wife had the mozzarella with basil and I had the only pizza with meat on it and it was sweet fennel sausage. Tom Douglas should revisit the menu to provide at least two more gourmet pies with meat on them though. The pies won't fill you up, which is fine for those watching their weight and carb intake, but satisfying enough to walk away not feeling guilty either. Belltown/Downtown are known for it's fine dining and great wine. This is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood. Pros: Gourmet pies, uber fresh ingrediants, fast service, very tasty light fare Cons: Tight quarters, may have to wait for table, limited menu, a little expensive more

Excellent gourmet pizza 12/18/2006

Excellent pizza and the best crust I've ever had. According to the waitor the crust takes 24 hours to prepare. I usually never eat pizza crust but this crust is outstanding. Apparently the crust is made with semolina flour, typically used in pasta. We've sampled a couple of other wood-fired pizza places lately and haven't been very happy with them but we love Serious pie. The pizzas are pretty much personal size and plenty for a hungry person.. Pros: Cozy and friendly staff Cons: Shared tables, small space more

Interesting and delicious pizza - - seriously! 12/11/2006

I visited Serious Pie for the first time on Sunday evening. The service was quick and friendly and the pizza was really delicious. Perfect crust - - not too thin, not too thick. It was a little strange (in Seattle) to share a 6 person table with two other couples, but, it turned out to be a fun and cozy dining experience. Though small, Serious Pie has a great atmosphere. Pros: Delicious and interesting pizza toppings....cozy atmosphere Cons: A little pricey....but....I would go back..... more

Yummy wood-fired thin crust pizza and good house wine 12/4/2006

The pizzas are thin crust so don't expect to split just one w/ more than 2 people. It's a great place to go with one other person - split two pizzas (you'll most likely have leftovers for both of you) and get a carafe or 1/2 carafe of the house wine. At $15 for a full carafe, it's a great deal. Yes, you pay a bit more than ""average"" for the pizzas, but they do use the best quality ingredients. Try the clam pizza - everyone I know who has tried it has absolutely loved it - even those people who aren't big clam fans! more

Tasty but expensive 11/15/2006

Small but pleasant space. There are a handful of pizzas to choose from. It's evident that they are using really good ingredients. The foraged mushroom pizza w/ truffle cheese was delicious but at $15 was pricey and not large enough to share but too big for 1 to eat alone. We also tried the sausage & pepper pizza which was also good. The cannoli for dessert was just ok---wouldn't recommend it. The service was cheerful & pleasant. Overall, a good experience but pricey for what you get. Pros: Tasty, Uses high quality ingredients Cons: Expensive, Uncomfortable chairs more

Taste Sensation 11/14/2006

Serious Pie has great Pizza with unique toppings. If you don't mind spending a few extra dollars for a single serving pizza, this is the pizzeria for you. They do offer a wonderful Chianti for 15$ a carafe, which is very reasonable for wine. It has a great atmosphere (very comfortable), great service (very friendly) and great food (delicious). If you?re a finicky eater or your date, spouse or partner is and you?re looking for a good cheese pizza, go somewhere else. Serious Pie is for the person looking for a great taste sensation. I went on a Monday which was fairly busy so beware Friday and Saturday you might be waiting, which they do have a sitting area but small. I will go back. Pros: Cheap Wine Cons: Price more
