Seward Park Pizza Company — Restaurant in Seattle

The food is good and it's nice that they have a full bar but the service is terrible. We just were there and the service was both slow, though it was early and there weren't many people there, and inept. The tables in the bar were all pushed together and there were only 2 of us so we asked the wait staff if we could move them. They said sure but made no effort to come help us with the task although it was super slow and they weren't doing anything else. It took us a minute or two to digest the new menu so weren't ready to order when she first came to the table. I ordered a drink right off, which she wrote down, but never brought. She said I'll be back in 5 minutes. I thought that was a turn of phrase but she literally meant 5 minutes. I turned around in my chair and looked right at her and she made eye contact with me but didn't come over. We were on the verge of leaving. When she finally came back I had to remind her about the drink. We asked about a build your own pizza and she said it was OK to do that but when we asked how much the toppings would cost she had no idea and just stood there and finally asked what we wanted in the pizza. I told her i need to know how much it costs first. She seemed flummoxed by that and I had to suggest that it must be possible to know that information or how would she know how much to charge us. There's more but ilk leave it at that. We have so many great pizza options in our neighborhood that we...

Great to see the owner be able take over the space and turn it into an independent pizza place! Same great location, same great people, but now the pizza is more affordable and even better than before.

Also, I saw a recent review from someone who couldn't figure out how much toppings cost on a build your own pizza. Yes, it should probably be listed. But it took me about ten seconds to figure out that meat toppings are $2 and veggie toppings are $1. All you have to do is count the toppings on one pizza, and compare it with the toppings on another, and figure out the price difference.

Also, as someone who would eat pizza every day, there are not very many good pizza options in this area. This is one of the best. Most of the other ones are overpriced, too specialized, or have weird hours. Not sure what places the reviewer was thinking of, but, then, I'm not in the habit of posting negative reviews from a single experience that involved a basic inability to do simple math.

Some people, though, just post negative reviews because they're picky and don't understand the service industry. If you're unhappy, just don't go back. Why post a negative review that could lose money for a small business unless it's something egregious? Keep your b.s. complaints...

Let me just start out by saying I really want them to succeed.We live in the neighborhood and we are excited about rides if this restaurant but why is it that they just can’t get a grasp? Location is awesome and we like the pizza. They have an amazing patio but keep the zippered canvas sides down on the nicest day of the year when they could capitalize on their open outdoor seating. When the sun comes out in Seattle people look for good patios, which they do have but can’t quite figure out how to use it. I’m sure the employees are wonderful, but they all seem to walk around clueless and managers seem to change on a daily basis. The simplest request like can we have water does not get fulfilled and any questions just can’t seem to be answered almost like everyone started yesterday. Every time I leave, I think I don’t wanna go back and then I go back hoping things have changed and they’re just even worse. Again, summer is coming and I love this location so I really hope they can get their act together!! I actually want to support but just can’t understand why it is so hard to...
