Known for its Neapolitan-style pies with inventive toppings, locally sourced ingredients, and a modern, minimalist space, Kode has quickly become a favorite among food lovers looking for both tradition and innovation in every slice.

Kode focuses on quality dough and thoughtful flavors. Their pizzas are baked in a high-heat oven, giving each pie a soft, airy center and beautifully blistered edges. Popular choices include:

Rocco’s

In the lively Belltown neighborhood, Rocco’s has earned a reputation as one of Seattle’s best places to grab a slice—or settle in for a whole pie with craft cocktails. Since opening in 2011, this late-night favorite has become a go-to for its New York–style pizza, full bar, and stylish yet laid-back atmosphere.

Rocco’s is more than a slice shop—it’s a pizza bar with personality. The menu offers both classic and creative pies, with options like:

The Rocco — a loaded specialty with Italian sausage, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, and peppers.
The Margherita — fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomato for a clean, simple bite.
Rotating Specials — seasonal ingredients and bold flavor combinations.

Their thin, foldable crusts make the pizza distinctly New York–inspired, but the toppings lean into Seattle’s creative food culture. You can order by the slice until late, or sit down for table service and pair your pizza with a craft cocktail, local beer, or wine from their extensive bar program.

With its brick-lined interior, big booths, and lively bar, Rocco’s is perfect for everything from a casual dinner to a night out. It blends the energy of Belltown nightlife with the comfort of a neighborhood pizza joint.

Good Shape Pizza

Seattle’s pizza scene thrives on variety, and Good Shape Pizza offers a fresh twist: plate-sized personal pies that are perfect for one (or two, if you’re sharing). Instead of massive slices or shareable trays, Good Shape focuses on individually portioned pizzas, each crafted with care and loaded with flavor.

Good Shape’s menu keeps things fun and approachable. The smaller, plate-sized format means you can try different styles without committing to a giant pie—making it ideal for casual dining or a quick bite. Expect:

Classic Cheese & Pepperoni — straightforward comfort with a crispy crust.
Seasonal Specials — rotating toppings that highlight fresh, local ingredients.
Creative Combinations — playful flavors that go beyond the basics.

The pizzas are thin, crisp, and perfectly sized, striking a balance between fast-casual convenience and artisan quality. The atmosphere mirrors the food: bright, modern, and welcoming, perfect for grabbing lunch, a solo dinner, or a casual hang with friends.

What makes Good Shape stand out is its focus on the individual diner—delivering big flavor in a pizza made just for you.

Serious Pie

When it comes to artisan pizza in Seattle, Serious Pie is one of the names that always comes up. Created by celebrated chef Tom Douglas, Serious Pie is known for its handcrafted, wood-fired pizzas topped with inventive ingredients and baked to perfection in blistering hot ovens. And for me, it’s more than just a spot I recommend—I actually worked here, which makes it part of my own story in Seattle’s food scene.

Serious Pie sets itself apart by treating pizza like fine dining, without the fuss. The crust is long-fermented for deep flavor, chewy on the inside with a beautifully charred exterior. Pizzas come out thin, slightly oblong, and full of character. Some favorites include:

Yukon Gold Potato, Rosemary & Pecorino — a savory standout that’s become a house classic.
Sweet Fennel Sausage & Roasted Pepper — a bold and hearty combination.
Seasonal Specials — often featuring local produce, artisan cheeses, and surprising pairings.

The atmosphere is warm and rustic, with a balance of casual comfort and upscale touches. It’s the kind of place where pizza lovers, foodies, and curious first-timers all feel at home.

For me, Serious Pie was more than just an employer—it was where I learned the craft of pizza-making at a high level, and it gave me an inside view of why these pies taste as good as they do.

Jet City Pizza Co

Jet City Pizza Co. is all about variety and creativity. Their menu goes far beyond cheese and pepperoni, featuring unique specialty pies, build-your-own options, and even gluten-free and low-carb crusts. Highlights include:

The Boogie Fever — Canadian bacon, pineapple, and cashews for a funky twist.
The Great Northwest — piled high with smoked salmon, cream cheese, onions, and capers.
The Jet City Combo — a loaded classic with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and olives.

What sets Jet City apart is its local flavor. Instead of trying to mimic New York or Neapolitan styles, they’ve created a Seattle-style pizza identity—hearty, inventive, and unafraid to break the rules.

DeLaurenti

When you think of Pike Place Market, fresh seafood usually comes to mind—but tucked inside is a true hidden gem for pizza lovers: DeLaurenti Food & Wine. This iconic Italian specialty market has been part of Seattle since 1946, and beyond its shelves of imported goods, wines, and deli classics, DeLaurenti also serves up some of the most underrated pizza slices in the city.

At DeLaurenti, pizza is all about quality ingredients and authentic Italian flavor. Their Roman-style slices are sold from the deli counter—square-cut, with a crispy base and chewy interior. Expect options like:

Classic Margherita — simple, bright, and fresh with mozzarella and basil.
Pepperoni or Sausage — hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a grab-and-go meal.
Veggie & Seasonal Specials — featuring roasted vegetables, mushrooms, or other toppings sourced from the market itself.

The experience feels authentically European—you order at the counter, grab a slice on parchment paper, and enjoy it as you wander Pike Place. It’s casual, affordable, and a great way to eat like a local in one of Seattle’s busiest destinations.

What makes DeLaurenti stand out is the combination of market energy and Italian tradition. You’re not just getting a quick slice—you’re tasting pizza made with the same high-quality ingredients they sell in their market, from imported olive oil to house-made sausage.

Cascadia specializes in Neapolitan-inspired, wood-fired pizzas baked in just 90 seconds at blistering heat. Their crusts are light, airy, and slightly charred, with toppings that balance local Northwest produce and classic Italian flavor. Some crowd favorites include:
