Von's 1000 Spirits | Seattle's Hidden Gem with a 4.6⭐ Rating 🍕✨
Tucked away near the bustling Pike Place Market and Pier 55, Von's 1000 Spirits is a local favorite that's been wowing diners with its creative menu and handmade dishes. While it's just a short stroll from Seattle's tourist hotspots, this spot remains refreshingly unpretentious. 📍 Location: 1000 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98104 (Right in the heart of Seattle's historic Pioneer Square district) 🍕 Menu Highlights (Our Honest Review): 🤍 Peach Plata Pizza - Absolute showstopper! The perfect balance of sweet peach slices, tangy goat cheese, and crispy crust. The caramelized onions add a depth that makes this pizza addictive! 🤍 Lemon Shrimp Pasta - Light and refreshing Zesty lemon sauce coats perfectly cooked shrimp and al dente pasta. The homemade sourdough pasta (made with their own starter!) gives it an extra chewy bite. 🤍 Beef Bolognese - Wine-forward flavor Rich meat sauce with noticeable red wine notes. Great if you love bold flavors, but might be too intense for some. 🤍 Pita + Eggplant Hummus - Meh Nothing wrong with it, but we've had better versions elsewhere. The pita bread was freshly baked though! 🤍 Bang Bang Chicken - Unexpected delight! Crispy chicken with a sweet-spicy sauce that surprisingly reminded us of Chinese "Pai Gu Wang" (pork rib king)! 🍸 Cocktails - Untested but intriguing They boast an impressive cocktail menu, though we stuck to wine this visit. The bartenders looked like mixology artists at work! 🍞 House-made Goodness: Watching their chefs hand-roll pasta and toss pizza dough right in the open kitchen is half the fun!Their commitment to using house-made sourdough starter for all pasta is particularly impressive. ⏳ Dining Experience: • Location perk: Walking distance from Pike Place Market • Reservation tip: Book ahead or prepare for a wait (we waited 45 minutes for our walk-in table) • Vibe: Casual elegant with exposed brick walls and warm lighting 💰 Price Range: $25-40 per person for a complete meal #SeattleDining #HiddenGemSeattle #PikePlaceEats #ItalianFoodSeattle #PizzaLover #FoodieSeattle #LocalFavorites #RestaurantReview #WeekendBrunch #SeattleFoodScene
