Can't believe it took me moving out of Seattle to visit and finally try it! The classic pep was so amazing and the crust was spectacular!!! Great drinks and attentive service! Such a cozy spot for a catch up with a friend. read more

Cornellys saved us. It was a Sunday, and my BF's birthday. His favorite food is pizza, and literally all of Seattles pizza places must shut down on Sundays, so it was looking GRIM. But here comes Cornellys! We literally did a Reddit search of the best pizza and Cornellys came up and it does NOT disappoint. We just HAPPENED to be done with our birthday festivities kinda early so we decided to come early like 15 and OMG glad we did because the line was so freaking long! And it was like the rainiest day in June and these ho3s were still lining up. We were literally the 2nd to last people to get a table. So glad we did because it was such a cozy experience. It's We each got a glass of wine to top it off. The pizzas were great, super crunchy crust, and the right amount of dough and pizza to topping ratio. Overall a solid pizza. We got two which was definitely overkill, but with the monster of a wait I'm glad we went ham. One would be perfect for two people. The apps looked delish, was jelly of other people getting them. It's a cute date night spot! I'd probably only go again for a special occasion. read more

Cornelly - Classic Pep - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I think this is my new favorite restaurant in Seattle. Be prepared for a wait, but grab a drink at Sol next door and hang out because it's worth it. Everything we had was absolutely to die for. The bread service with lemon butter set high expectations for the rest of the meal, but the Caesar salad was amazing, and the caramelle pasta is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Do yourself a favor and come here, you will not regret it. read more

Tried Cornelly after seeing glowing reviews on Tik Tok and it did not disappoint. The pizza was amazing! The pasta was good, but the pizza and the drinks were really the stars for us. Our server was super sweet and welcoming, and the actual space was so cute and cozy. So glad we got to try this on our trip to Seattle, will definitely be coming back! read more

always love going to Cornellys and took one of my friends to their first time here and we both loved it. We came around 5/6 and they said it was about a 40 minute wait which I expected so we just put our name on the list and went next door for a drink. At almost exactly 40 minute later we got a text and headed over. Overall the spot is so nice and cute, next to lots of bars so help tide over the wait and inside is small and cozy but also bright. I got a cocktail that was pretty yummy, the pizza was really really good, I felt like the pasta was good but didn't impress me but I really liked the brussel sprouts. Probably some of my fav brussel sprouts ever, I think it had miso and I was interested by that and ended up loving it. read more

We ordered the chicory Caesar, classic pepperoni, pistachio pint, and Calabrian chili oil. The salad and pizza were great. The Calabrian chili oil wasn't memorable, so I wouldn't order it again. The ice cream was good and fun to try (they make it homemade!), but I wouldn't get it again. Total was $63. For online ordering, you can only order for the same day, during open hours, and for ASAP pickup (no option to choose a time). I didn't pick up the order, so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant! read more

Finally had a chance to go to Cornelly! Was about an hour wait but we just strolled around and didn't feel too long. We got seated at the bar, and loved this spot since we could watch them make drinks and the pasta. Loved the feel and ambiance of the restaurant. We shared the chicory Caesar, which is a must get, loved all the different textures. My only critique was some bites were a little salty, but I am one who loves salt. We also had the Honey Hornet pizza which was super yummy and cooked perfectly! Drinks were pretty good. I definitely will be back to try out their pastas! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday and thankfully didn't have to wait that long. Took a short walk along broadway until our table was ready. Basically we got there just after they opened so the line that had been waiting out the door before open had all just been seated so it was expected to take a bit but it didn't end up being that bad and we ate dinner basically at the time we wanted too. It was recommended that for 3 people that we get a pizza each which actually would've been way overkill. We got the brussel sprouts app, leek pizza, and margherita. It was perfect for everyone to have 4 slices which was A LOT. I really liked the leek pizza. I would say things are a little pricy though and there are other pizza places in seattle that are/look as good without the hype read more

Cornelly is one of my favorite spots in Seattle! They're always busy, so be prepared to wait as a walk-in. Luckily there is a bar next door where you can get drinks and sit down as you wait. The food here is something else. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The chicory caesar salad was one of the best caesar salads I've had. The dressing was very good, with the cherry on top being the chicory adding a bitterness that really tied the whole thing together. The summer squash spaghetti was very light, topped with pistachios that definitely went well with the sauce. The hornet honey pizza was sweet and spicy, with fantastic crust. read more

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience here. The service here was pretty good. Employees were nice and helpful and the food didn't take long to make. The pricing of the food is decently high. Our pizza cost $28, while our rigatoni was $26. The pizza was good. We had their hornet honey pizza and I enjoyed how sweet it was. I think there wasn't enough pepperoni and sausage on the pizza. I also wonder why this pizza was this pricey. It was oily too. We also had their rigatoni and it was good, but oily too. It came with pork, but there wasn't too much of the meat in the dish. The ambiance of the restaurant was decent. This restaurant is decently popular so spacing isn't great. There's indoor and outdoor dining. Overall, decent experience, but I wouldn't try this restaurant again. Food quality is too low for pricing to be this expensive read more

So excited to finally try this spot and it lived up to the expectation! Food was delicious! This spot gets pretty busy. We came on a weekday around 6pm and we were able to get seating at the bar. The only downside is it gets pretty warm inside if you are dining during a heat wave, so keep that in mind. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We got some of their pickled veggies and my husband and I split the Hornet Honey pizza which was so delicious! We also got a rice krispie treat to go! Overall, really love this spot and would come back to try some of their other items! read more

SO SO GOOD. I was recommended Cornelly by a friend a long while ago, but never came because I always heard of the small space and long wait times. This time around, we decided to show up at 4:30 and wait in line before they opened at 5 which worked as we were first to be seated. The inside is small but there are still a good number of tables -- most are for 2 people though and they do have larger picnic type tables to sit outside when the weather allows. We got the margherita, hornet honey, and rigatoni pizza to share amongst 4 people. They came out super quick and so fresh! The pizzas were absolutely perfect -- thin crispy sourdough crust, super flavorful tomato sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. We actually liked the margherita more since it was so fresh, but the hot honey was delicious as well. The rigatoni was the perfect al dente and had such a flavorful pork bolognese sauce. It was scrumptious! We also asked for a side of their seasonal butter (a corn truffle butter) to lather on the crust -- it was fantastic as well. This ended up being the perfect amount of food for the 4 of us and we were all super full at the end. I would highly recommend coming here and waiting in line early. Its worth it! read more

Everyone I know loves Cornelly. My friends go all the time. I typically hadn't, because there are not a ton of vegan options. If you're not vegan, I'd say this place is five stars. Because I'm looking for vegan options, I bumped it down a little. They used to have a vegan "fungi" pizza on the menu, that was vegan as is, and my vegan friend who loves mushrooms loved that pizza. My non-vegan friend who likes mushrooms loved it too. However, they recently took it off the menu, and now there is no pizza on the menu that is vegan by default. There's one with pesto and veggies that you can get vegan without the cheese, but both the friends I just mentioned said it's not as good as the old mushroom one. When I went; we had truly the best server - DC. I asked a ton of questions about the menu and he went to the kitchen to get answers for me. He gave me a full report on what could be made vegan form the menu. Here it is -- The starter bread course, without the butter. You could add a side of red sauce (for a charge). One of the salads without cheese. Basically any pizza could have cheese removed. None of the pastas (all pasta has egg in it) I decided to just get the margherita without cheese, and asked to add spiced pineapple instead, since I saw that elsewhere on the menu. So it ended up being like, red sauce and fresh basil and this spiced pineapple. It was good! The crust is incredible, but like, it was a bit lacking. Especially for the price, and the fact that I was charged additional money for adding the pineapple. I actually took the leftovers home and tried adding store-bought vegan cheese to the slice I reheated in the air fryer and it was DELICIOUS. It'd be awesome if Cornelly offered a vegan cheese (I'd be willing to pay an upcharge) or just a more fully rounded vegan pizza offering. The restaurant itself is so hip and nice. Great date spot, great place for groups. Lovely outdoor seating for nice weather. Be prepared to wait! People lineup before opening at 5pm quite often on weekend days. read more

Really cute and quaint spot in a quieter area of cap hill. The interior is pretty small and only seats maybe about 20 people at a time. We got there at about 25 min after opening and the wait was 45 min. Unfortunately by the time we got seated they were sold out of the rigatoni ): The caesar salad was soooo good and I would go there again just to eat the salad. Had great flavor and lots of textures. I LOVED the pizza crust - the sourdough made it so crispy and crunchy. The pasta was pretty good and had a very strong flavor. read more

Cornelly's came as a fine recommendation within the South Lake Union/Capitol Hill area. As a resident of Seattle I hadn't had a chance to visit until recently and was pleasantly surprised! 4/5 Food, My partner and I ordered the Hornet Honey pizza as we are avid lovers of hot honey on pizza (AMAZING TOPPING). A nice pairing of spice, sweetness, and savory with a red sauce pizza. We paired the pizza with the Fusilli pasta, a minty fresh pasta for the season that helped combat the savory taste of our pizza. The flavor profile of the fusilli was very tame, in a good way as it didnt barrage you with an insane amount of flavor. 4/5 Atmosphere , beautiful outdoor seating, inside is cute. I would recommend reservations on weekends as there is not as much seating and spots fill up fast. 5/5 Service, received great recommendations and food came out in a timely manner. All in all 4/5, I personally would not wait more than an hour to eat here, but if it so happens I am able to grab a seat for date night I would recommend ! read more

Really difficult to get in. We went super late at night, the host told us 20-30 minutes and that she will text us. No texts, so we decided to try our luck after 20 mins and they had 4-5 open tables and offered us one. Apart from that, service and food was really good. The pizzas have the perfect under carriage and char while the pasta could've used some more flavor. The chilli oil definitely helped read more

Cornelly was awesome. Some of the tastiest pizza I've ever had! A thinner crust but somehow still felt very filling to me. We ordered the Hornet Honey and the flavors all worked so well together. We also ordered the Caesar Salad which was good as well. Could've been a bit more flavorful but was full of color and texture. I do think they could decorate and improve the interior a bit nicer and more cozy, but that's just a nitpick. Overall a good spot for a quality slice of pizza. read more

Based on the reviews we had seen, we really wished we enjoyed our dinner more, but there was a lot that just missed the mark. What we ordered: -The Mothership: The best item we ordered. Thin crust pizza. Sweetness and acidity from the tomato sauce, good flavor from the sausage, but it could've had more cheese, which also happened to slide right off the pizza on multiple occasions. -Bucatini Nero: We had high hopes for this one as the description sounded amazing but it was overwhelmingly salty. My boyfriend and I love our spicy pastas and anything with really strong flavors but we ate about two forkfuls before requesting for another dish. We almost never send any dishes back, but it really was not edible from how salty it was. The parmesan and colatura were probably the key players contributing to this, as well as any additional salt the chef used. Flavor was otherwise fine. -Rigatoni: Our server switched out the bucatini for this pasta dish, but it was still quite salty, it just hits your palate a bit later. Lots of flavor from the bolognese but the salt just made it hard for us to revisit the pasta, even after we took it to-go. A better option but still hard to finish. Restaurant and parking: The restaurant is located next to a bar (to which it shares a bathroom). Staff are accommodating and nice; our server had great personality. The restaurant itself is pretty small. We waited close to 30 minutes for a table for two on a Tuesday evening. They do not offer reservations. Indoor (table and bar) and outdoor seating available. Like most of Seattle, it's paid street parking. Overall: Our dinner left a lot to be desired. We were just visiting, but I could not imagine coming back here based on our experience. read more

On my previous visit, there was a two-hour wait for a table, so I left and decided to try another time. This time, I arrived 15 minutes before they opened and was able to get a table immediately. I ordered spring radish salad, cacio e pepe (night specialty), and hornet honey pizza. The salad provided a fresh start before the pasta and pizza. However, the radish was served in chunks, which added excessive texture to the dish. The sliced radishes might be better for the dish. There was a lot of mint on the dish, which dominated the flavor. The cacio e pepe had a notable peppery taste but lacked creaminess or needed more cheese. The pizza was enjoyable. The waitress offered ranch as a side for the pizza, which combined well with hot honey and pepperoni. The waitress was attentive, refilling water and clearing dishes to create more space on the table. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, but the indoor space is limited. I recommend going early to secure a table, as there is not much nearby to occupy time while waiting. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving pizza and figured it was time to see what all the hype was about at Cornelly. We went on a Tuesday afternoon, 15 minutes after they opened, and it was already packed! Luckily, we were able to get the last indoor table. They also have a few outdoor tables with heaters, which is a nice touch for extra seating. Chicory Caesar Salad - $16 This was such a great way to start the meal. The sourdough bread crumbs added the perfect crunch on top of the chicory, and the anchovy vinaigrette was SO good. They didn't overdo it on the dressing either, so the salad stayed crisp even by the time our pizza came out. Hornet Honey Pizza - $29 ( 14-inch ) When I first saw the price, I wondered if a pizza could really be worth $29... but, yes. It really was. It had all my favorite toppings: mozzarella, hot honey, cupped pepperoni, and sweet pineapple. The crust was thin but still had that nice crisp on the bottom! If you like a sweeter flavored pizza, I would recommend. My only complaint is that the actual crust was a bit plain/burnt and dried out our mouths, so I wish I had ordered some hot honey or marinara on the side to dip it in. A little sad because crust is my fav part of a pizza :,( Seasonal Panna Cotta - $8 We got the spiced apple panna cotta with cardamom cookie crumble, and omg... I wish this was a permanent menu item. The texture was so smooth and creamy, and the flavors were absolutely perfect. I'm literally drooling just writing this. They package their desserts for takeout; which makes sense, because I wanted to order at least ten more to eat at home. I didn't catch our server's name (short curly brown hair), but she was great! She was super sweet, patient with all our questions, and checked in with us throughout our meal. You can really tell that everyone working here loves what they do and puts so much care into Cornelly. Our total was $58 before tip, which I think is fair if you're looking to get a nicer dinner in Seattle. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

The first time I tried to visit, there was a 3hr wait so I came 15mins before they opened and was able to get a spot right away. I'd recommend coming a little before they open to get a seat. I ordered the Chicory Caesar, Spaghetti with pesto sauce, and the Hornet Honey pizza. The food was delicious and definitely seasoned (the salad was a little too seasoned with dressing). The pizza was my favorite -- the dough consistency was chewy and perfectly baked and the honey added a nice touch of flavor. The food took a while to come out so I waited more than 30min. But I'd recommend trying this place out if you're in the area! read more

I've been wanting to try cornelly for months now and finally had dinner here on a friday night! I put my name down at 6 and was quoted an hour and a half, which was accurate. The hostess let my friend and I decide if we wanted a table or booth which was really nice! The interior is small but really cute and cozy. We ordered "green funghi" ($27) which contains wild mushrooms, pea vine pesto, and ricotta. I really liked the cheese and crust, but I think it really missed the mushroom part. The greens on top really overpowered the taste and we joked we were eating a salad pizza... but I still liked it. We may have ordered the wrong pizza but I would consider coming back to try other ones! The "hornet honey" one caught my eye because I love hot honey. Overall friendly service and cute date spot, but I was a bit disappointed! read more

This place does not take reservation so the first day we came at 7 pm, they said 2-2.5 hours of wait time with closing time being 10 so we came back the next day at 5 pm at open time and got seated right away. I would recommend coming 10-15 mins earlier bc lines form quickly. However, the food was very underwhelming and left us all very confused over the hype of this place being of the best pizza places in Seattle. The food was pretty basic. We got the house special pasta for the night-- it was heavily seasoned with the black pepper. The pizza sauce also had a very tart taste to it and the lack of cheese on the Margherita combination didn't impress us. We did like the hornet honey but any time I tasted the red sauce by itself, it wasn't a good taste. The crust were also a bit overbaked and dry. The interior was cute and cozy, a small place. Our server brought the wrong food to our table multiple times. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else who has had good pizzas before. read more

Cute, cozy, intimate with kind service and tasty dishes. This spot is SO good, especially for creative cocktails with savory Italian American dishes. There's a variety of unique pizzas that are customizable, easier to share amongst a group. Recommend the hot & honey pizza. My personal favorite are the pastas. You cannot go wrong with any choice as they're rich and creamy and hearty. Recommend doing family style dinner here. Con: doesn't take reservations and the wait can get up to several hours long depending on when you show up. It's a very small space. There's a pub next door though you can wait - outdoor seating in the summer time too. Also, can get kinda pricy. read more

Extremely small portions for the price, little salmon in the pasta, and never had a bitter greens pizza before, but definitely don't recommend that one. read more

We ordered Chicory Caesar, the Mothership, and a thick noodle hedgehog mushroom pasta which was plenty for 2, with some leftovers. Chicory Caesar was really good - the leaves were sliced small like we enjoy, and the chicory (similar to an endive) has a light bitterness which actually was complementary to the dish. Breadcrumbs gave a nice texture. The pizza was great - it was slightly overcooked in that the bottom was a bit burnt on the edges, but thankfully the surface stayed nice and wasn't dry. The red onions had incredible aroma, coupled with the sausage, it was a very nicely flavored pizza with great crunch throughout the slice, no flop. If it came out the oven 20sec earlier it'd be near perfect, and I don't say that about many pizzas. As for the pasta, I wasn't a fan. The flavor was ok but it was a tad undercooked when you looked at the cross section, and the texture of the noodle itself was not very smooth throughout. Definitely coming back for more pizza and salad, would skip on pasta next time. Came on a Sunday 4:45pm and was in the first seating. As the weather gets worse and outdoor seating closes, I'd probably aim to arrive ~4:30 to seat as it opens at 5. read more

We were on a date. So were the couple the hostess tried to seat us next to, at a table no more than 5 inches away. I asked if we could sit by the window for a bit more privacy, and the hostess rolled her eyes before saying, "Fine. You can have that one." Not exactly the warmest welcome. Our waitress arrived quickly and asked if we were ready to order. We said yes, but also mentioned we weren't in a rush and would appreciate a slower pace. Despite that, every dish arrived within ten minutes. The bread service was fine, but the portion was too large for two people. We could've split just one of the four pieces. Unfortunately, both the bread and butter were bland and forgettable. Now for the highlights: the chicory salad was fantastic: bright, balanced, and full of flavor. The squash ravioli was also excellent, rich and comforting without being heavy. We also tried one of the seasonal pizzas featuring chanterelles. It was baked beautifully, but the flavor didn't live up to the presentation. The cheese was overpoweringly sour, and the oil dominated everything else. We couldn't taste the mushrooms at all. I found myself wishing we'd ordered one of the pizzas everyone seems to rave about. read more

So glad to find this small, yet busy establishment tucked away on a quiet street. If you aren't arriving early in the evening, be prepared to wait! Their menu has a small variety of pizzas, pastas and appetizers that are sure to please everyone in your party. If ordering a pizza, a side of their ranch is a must, you'll thank me later. Service was standard and I will most certainly be coming back next time I'm in town read more

Food was pretty mid not gonna lie. There was a huge line but we were pretty lucky to get a spot. We went like 15 minutes before opening on a weekday night. We got the pickles, one of the pastas, and a margarita pizza. The pickles were pretty solid but very small in quantity (was served in a hockey puck sized dish). Didn't taste anything too special about the pickles - they were on the sweeter side. The pasta was pretty solid too but nothing too special with the sauce or the pasta itself. Same with the pizza - was a standard Margherita. Vibes were really nice though - there's like 6-7 tables inside and a bar. Dim lighting and was not too loud - perfect for a date night. Service was mostly solid but they also gave us the wrong check. After taxes and tips, I think we paid like over $80 which was kinda steep for what it was. read more

Came here on Sunday at opening (5pm) during Pride weekend and found parking easily. There was a small line waiting for open, but everyone was seated. There is outdoor seating if preferred. The neighborhood is nice to sit outside in. We ordered the Horney Honey Pizza. Pizza takes longer to come out than pasta, etc. This pizza is quite thin and not super juiced out with toppings or anything. I wish there was more Hornet Honey flavor, felt more like a pepperoni pizza with a little bit of honey flavor. Maybe this isn't my type of pizza. We split it between 2 people and it's not filling enough by itself for us. I would say it's underwhelming and expensive for what it is. read more

This was some of the yummiest Italian food and pizza I have had in Seattle. I would definitely come back to Cornelly but parking around the area can be difficult cause it is street parking but if you are willing to drive around you will eventually find a spot. The restaurant is quite small making the wait for a table long we got there 15 minutes after it opened and had to wait an hour and a half to get a table but the wait was worth it. I would recommend coming in the summer time as there is outdoor seating which can make it easier to get seated. The restaurant is small but gives a cozy feeling. You can see the cooks making the pizza and pasta right in front of you. The servers were really attentive and checked by multiple times to see if we needed more drinks or any other items at the table. The pizza, pasta and appetizers are to die for. I would highly recommend the bread service for an appetizer, the whipped butter is so fluffy and pairs well with the olive focaccia. read more

Food was so good and creative, loved the seasonal items we got (corn and heirlooms). Can't wait to try other dishes next time. read more
