Seattle Pizza and Bar — Restaurant in Seattle

I would not recommend this place unless you are looking for mediocre and overcharged food, and servers with an unwelcoming attitude. Our total bill came out to over $70; however, we were neither satisfied with the food, the service or the overall vibe of the restaurant. We were really looking forward to this place as it checked all the boxes on paper for a great pizza place in terms of proximity, a variety of draft beer and convenient store hours. We were especially excited that this new location was brought closer to us since we had a prior pleasant experience at the Belltown location.

However, the actual experience, food quality, and overall atmosphere failed to meet even the bare minimum standards:

1. The service was truly awful - the server stopped paying attention to us in the very beginning and made it very clear that they did not want to interact with customers. We have a long list of complaints solely about the service:

The server the check at us before all of our food came out. They were only two additional tables so they clearly were not busy. The server forgot to bring salad sauce - we had to pin down the server several times to even address as they were not at all concerned about our experience. She eventually forgot the Ranch sauce as well for the wings ; however, we gave up as we did not want to flag down the server again. Although the server had thrown the check at us earlier on, she did not even bring take-out boxes. The owner was never present at the restaurant, and the servers were unattentive and rude.

2. Most of the food had poor quality considering the higher price point compared to other pizza joints. I was looking for artisanal pizza quality but was left with an experience even less satisfactory than a nearby fast-food pizza chain. The pizza dough was tough, rigid and tasted at equivalent or lower quality than Domino's for 3x the price. The Garlic Parmesan wings were very salty (even though we had put the Garlic Parmesan sauce on the side), tasted like they were bought from a nearby grocery store, and were burnt. The sauce for the Chef salad was pre-purchased. Finally, the Pilsner tasted flat even though the restaurant was advertised as a bar.

3. The ambiance in the restaurant was very bare and unsanitary. There was an awkward, hollow space in the middle for pick-up and a back-seat area, which made the restaurant feel more empty. Also several, large flies were flying around and continued to approach our food and beer, which made our...

We were in Seattle to see My Chemical Romance at T-Mobile Park. Our hotel had no food service and we asked the front desk for a pizza recommendation and they said Seattle Pizza and Bar. Online ordering was easy, unlike a couple of other restaurants we'd tried that wouldn't accept our Canadian credit cards. Too bad for them!

We ordered a pizza without having any idea if it would be great or terrible, or even show up, and hoped for the best. The confirmation said arrival would be 60 minutes, which seemed a bit much, but nothing we could do about it.

We were pleasantly surprised when 1/2 hour later we got a text saying the pizza was outside our door, which it was, and what a pizza! Just what we hoped for but didn't really expect, a beautiful loaded pizza with luscious cheese we could actually see! It seems lately cheese is a minor component of a pizza, at least where we live (Vancouver BC). This was a generous pile of lovely crust, savoury toppings and gooey cheese. It was pizza perfection, and still warm. We gobbled that thing up right sharpish!

This pizza was $26.99 with $7 delivery. With a tip, taxes and whatever else is charged in Seattle, by the time it appeared on my Canadian credit card it cost me over $50! Luckily it was so good and really hit the spot at the time I hardly care.

Thank you, Seattle Pizza and Bar, for helping us enjoy our visit to your...

#UPDATE# ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW#

Well, I took a big walk over the weekend and to make note of prices at various shops. My opinion stands that even with 'quality ingredients' this place doesn't have a 'quality recipe' and the price point is not a good reflection of their product.

Whole Foods: $4.29 or two for $8 Post Alley Pizza: $5-$5.50 Numero Uno: $4.75 or two for $7.96 Hot Mama's: $4.20 Dino's: -cheese $5.50 round $6.50 square -pep $6.50 round $7.50 square -special $7.00 round (mine had guanciale and asparagus) Zeeks: $4.00 Slice Box: $3.75-$4.50 (secretly the best slices in the city)

If you're in SLU and need a lunch slice I'd urge you to visit Pizza by Ruffin which is two blocks north. It's also $7, but I think you're dollar goes a lot further there.

I'm changing my review to 1 star because of the owner, but still think the pizza deserves 3 stars.

ORIGINAL:Just because the owner replies to each review and mentions their quality ingredients doesn't mean it doesn't taste like a $7 7/11 slice. It's not bad, it's not great, it should be priced at $5. I don't think I'll give them a...
