Seattle’s pizza landscape is a vibrant reflection of its Pacific Rim roots, global food culture, and creative pulse.
Whether you crave wood-fired artisan pies, classic NY slices, or neighborhood standbys, these are Seattle’s five best in 2025.
1. Serious Pie
Tom Douglas’s flagship pizzeria is famous for long-fermented dough, wood-fired char, and locally sourced toppings.
The “Mushroom & Truffle Cheese,” “Yukon Gold Potato & Rosemary,” and “Sweet Fennel Sausage” pies are mainstays. Hip, rustic, and always high-quality.
2. Big Mario’s Pizza
Seattle’s top spot for giant, foldable NY-style slices (or whole pies), with imaginative specials like mac-and-cheese pizza.
Open late, with locations in Capitol Hill and Lower Queen Anne, this is Seattle’s answer to East Coast cravings—quick, cheesy, and always satisfying.
3. Pagliacci Pizza
A Pacific Northwest chain that’s become a local institution, Pagliacci sources fresh northwest ingredients for both traditional and creative combos—like the seasonal “Prosciutto Primo” or “Grand Salami Primo.”
Their eco-friendly ethos and excellent delivery make them a consistent crowd-pleaser.
4. Cornuto Pizzeria
Nestled in Ballard, Cornuto brings wood-fired Neapolitan authenticity: imported Italian flour, a smoldering oven, and lean, simple ingredient lists.
The “Diavola” (salame and spicy oil) and Margherita show off the airy, blistered crust. Cozy, modern and a hit for romantic evenings.
5. Hot Mama’s Pizza
A Capitol Hill icon since 1995, Hot Mama’s serves up classic NY-style to-go pies, including standout “White Pie” and “Pesto” slices.
Always hopping after midnight, it’s an institution for late-night Seattle eats, with quick counter service and a loyal following.
