If you are looking for thoughtful and delicious pizza, prepared with locally sourced ingredients, Local 104 will not disappoint! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and were promptly greeted and seated. Our server Andre shared a few of the more popular options, and we decided on the Margarita and the Aries. Both were absolutely mouth watering. The fresh local herbs in the sauce created a symphony of flavors dancing on my palette. Andre took very good care of us, and the ambiance inside and out was warm and inviting. We will definitely be back, and we will take some pictures next time. read more

Our team met there on new years. I just don't understand why they have sooo much crust on their pizza. Still foo foo food otherwise Bruce Macdonald read more

Cute little place! My friends and I came here for drinks after brunch because we didn't want to end the day just yet. The staff is so nice haha. We couldn't figure out how to open the door and just assumed they were closed. They were open, we're just dumb hahaha. It was HH when we arrived so that was a plus. They have drinks on tap and the space is so welcoming but kind of cold. We did order some bread and fritters to share. read more

Local 104 is a locally owned pizza and bar restaurant that took over the space previously occupied by a 7-Eleven and the Lake Forest Park Market. The space has been completely revamped into a cozy restaurant--you'd probably never guess it used to be a small convenience store. Given that it took over a former convenience store, it makes sense that on-site parking is quite limited. The restaurant has a uniquely laid-out private lot that fits about 18-20 cars, with only one way in and one way out. If the lot is full, there are a few additional spaces available through a partnership with Wizz Kids Academy across the street (though there is one particular spot that customers are asked not to park in, as indicated on a sign by the door). If those spots are also taken, your best option is street parking along nearby residential roads. On certain days, Local 104 can get packed, both inside and out. You'll often find local residents dining in or gathering to watch sports games on the TVs. I visited on a Thursday evening in late July, right in the middle of a heatwave. Stepping inside, we were greeted by a refreshing breeze from the A/C. While the main dining space wasn't too busy, the entrance area was lively with customers picking up orders or waiting for patio seating. The restaurant offers multiple seating options, including a bar area, two patios, and the main dining room. My friend and I opted to sit inside, near the patio--so we got the best of both worlds: fresh air and A/C. After browsing the menu, we decided on the Pat Kane, The Max, and the House Salad. The salad was refreshing and flavorful, featuring Cosmic Crisp apples, walnut chunks, and a charred lemon vinaigrette. It paired well with both pizzas. The Max was a classic pepperoni-style pizza topped with fresh basil, while the Pat Kane came with sliced meatballs. Both pizzas were hand-tossed and wood-fired, evident from the char on the crust and base. The crust had a nice balance--soft with a slight crunch at the edges. While the dough itself was a bit bland, the sauce and toppings more than made up for it. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and my friend and I definitely plan to return to try more of their pizzas. TL;DR: Local 104 is a cozy, locally owned pizza and bar spot that took over a former convenience store space. Parking is limited but there are nearby alternatives. The restaurant offers indoor and patio seating, and has a lively, neighborhood vibe. During a hot July evening visit, we enjoyed The Max (pepperoni & basil), Pat Kane (meatball-topped), and a refreshing House Salad with apples and walnuts. The wood-fired pizzas had great toppings, though the dough was a bit bland. Friendly staff and good food--worth a return visit! read more

Our consistent go to for woodfired pizza featuring quality locally sourced ingredients. The Quixote and Amy Marie are a must-try. The Wedge salad and meatballs are a yes. On tap is an enjoyable rotating selection of wine, seltzer and beer. And if you prefer cocktails, the old-fashioned is a classic and Tanks by Dallas hits the spot. Ambiance is casual, service warm and welcoming. We've literally brought everyone here; family, friends, and clients. All agree Local 104 is a find! read more

"Hidden gem" is not quite sufficient. Local 104 is perhaps not so hidden given how busy it was on a Friday night, and, if it were a gem, it would be an emerald (see what I did there?). For a pizza and beer joint, this place is exquisite. They serve the best pizza I've had around--even better than the wood-fired one at the farmers market. Perfectly crispy and charred crust, super fresh sauce that tastes of tomatoes and herbs (not sugar), and thoughtful toppings. We got two of the margheritas, and they were perfection. We also ordered the house salad, which came with pristine mixed greens, toasted hazelnuts, sliced apple, and a lemon dressing. We had to order a second serving of salad because we loved it that much. Two pizzas and two salads was enough food for 3 medium-hungry adults and a toddler. The ambiance manages to be both hip and inviting, and we noticed parties of families with young kids and couples sharing a low key date night. There with our own young kids, we adults got to feel like we were out in a nice place without the pressure of keeping our kids perfectly behaved. I cannot say enough about how delicious the food was, but equally impressive was the genuine kindness of all the staff. Our server was a dream; not only patient with our feral toddler but actually friendly. The host happily obliged our request to sit outside until a table opened up inside even though this is annoying (we only asked because we worried our infant would be cold, but it turned out the heated patio was warm enough). And someone behind the to-go counter seemed to have rapport with other customers. I take all this time on this to convey that their kindness makes Local 104 such a welcoming place. We regret that we hadn't tried it sooner, but we are excited to make up for it with frequent future visits. read more

Really enjoyed this neighborhood joint! I loved the atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, fresh ingredients. Super cool vibe, great outdoor spaces, wine,beer, and full bar . Pros: - the mussels are a fun try, prepared in a tasty broth and steamed under a layer of pizza dough. Great for dipping! - my favorite were the fried oysters- fresh and served with aioli! 5 pieces in an order. - pizza was fresh, flavorful and the thin crust was delicious. Personal preference is I'd love the crust to have a light crisp all the way through. Just enough so it can hold its own. This one seemed to be soggy in the middle so it's pretty floppy. - was excited to see polenta fries on the menu! Served with marinara dip and next time I'll ask for the aioli instead. - blazing Saddles- yes!! Smokey, bursting with flavor , light. Prices might seem higher than expected but we're talking about fresh seafood, and fresh ingredients. I'll pay for fresh, clean, friendly and an overall fantastic experience anytime! Can't wait to go back! read more

Everything about the experience was top-notch. The vibe is great. It is a neighborhood joint with a great bar, TVs with sports on, and warm, inviting feel. The service is great, always. My favorite pizza is the Amy Marie. I love mushrooms, but most places only put a few slices on theirs. On this one, you get lots of mushrooms. Craft cocktails are fabulous, and the beer and wine selection is great. When the weather is nice, dining outside is a plus. read more

We always drive by this place and finally we decided to give it a try. It's a very busy pizza joint with super limited parking. We were lucky enough to find a spot in the lot, but fair warning, you may have to find street parking of some sort. Service was pretty friendly and semi fast. Pro tip: make a reservation so that you're guaranteed a table. The food was just okay. It seems like the menu doesn't change that often or if ever. Flavors & seasonings were missing and the pizza crusts were burnt. It's definitely on the pricier side. Vibes are cute, but not cute enough to come back, unfortunately. Maybe it's different on the weekdays vs the weekends? Give it a try if you're curious. read more

I feel like I'm in bizarro world with these reviews. Ordered an antipasto plate that was all pickled vegetables with two small servings of cured meats ($27), really not good. Then ordered a mushroom pizza that was straight 2" deep bed of mushrooms on a super thin crust. I love mushrooms but this was horrible and made me nauseous. Mac and Cheese was mediocre at best. My son and his girlfriend ordered the po' boy and chicken sandwiches, which they said were good (why the 2 stars and not 1). The server never asked how the food was because she knew the truth. This was quite the experience, and not in a good way. read more

Nothing special about this bleak dining hall. Can't get a wedge salad right. Pizza is ok for mid level pizza at premium price. Limp, dusty, dry, bland, gross, were some descriptions batted around the table. Weird vibes here. Go somewhere else unless you want to get expensively drunk. Booo. Thumbs down. Ick. read more

This place is so good!!!! If you dine here make sure you get the Walter!!! The burrata is also a fabulous appetizer!

I was introduced to Chef Tony's dedication to delicious and unique pizza art when he was at the Easy Monkey Taphouse. He went under the name of "Blasphemy Pizza" His pizzas offered a different spin on pizza, often featuring fresh ingredients from his back yard garden. You will see this take on sp pizza offerings. One lately featured goat, preserved lemon, harissa and ras el hanout. Having been to Morocco,had to try this pizza. It was spicy and the combination of flavors took me back to a Moroccan tajinine on a crust.Happy to see him branch out and start his own restaurant. I was able to chat with Chef Tony and found he extensively researched pizza at many famous pizza places on the East Coast before deciding on his pizza offerings. He even imported a wood burning authentic Italian pizza oven, to ensure a great crust. Parking here can be problematic. Small parking lot for the popularity of the restaurant. As you walk in, there is a stand that has a carefully selected to go items. Wine, dry goods and snacks. The pizza oven even greets you, with its flaming mouth and squiggly eyes. There is a nicely set up bar and several indoor tables. Spacious out door patio in back. This is where I like to sit. Plants, rocks and atmosphere transport you to a tranquil spot to relax. See they offer classic movies here in the back patio, with special snacks. Margaret is also an owner. She is a hands on owner, making sure food is delivered and guests are well taken care of. There is art on the walls, by Chef Tony himself. I started out with the ricotta fritters. The fritters were good, but I really enjoyed the rich pomodaro sauce that came with them. I loved the tomato sauce, so had to order the house made meatball sandwich. This was tender meatballs, so many places make them tough. Duck fat prunes? Nothing I would ordinarily recommend, but the combination was surprisingly tasty. The mussels in white wine were salty and very fresh tasting. Next, ordered a pizza. I understand each pizza name has a connection to the restaurant. After hearing the pizza Max is named after Tony's son Max, had to order it. The pepperoni, fior di latte, basil, grana padano all contributed nicely to the pizza. This pizza is Neapolitan style, so it has a thinner and crispy crust. I do prefer a thicker crus, but enjoyed the lack of flop on the undercarriage . Finished off with a special of homemade gelato. I really enjoyed the attentive staff, relaxing furnishings and the care the owners Tony and Margaret put into place here. You can tell this restaurant is a labor of love. read more

Late brunch, and I'm craving something healthy. I found a restaurant with great reviews and a variety of meals, so I decided to try their Tonnato Salad for $24.00 without tax and tip. It includes roasted fingerling potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, tuna, pickled fennel, cipollini onions, and tonnato dressing. The flavor is healthy and delicious, but personally, I found it a bit oily. It might not be the best option for takeout, but it's definitely worth trying their other dishes! read more

Had cocktails, ricotta fritters, house salad, pizza, and a dessert. The food was very good, the server was great, and I liked the general ambience. No complaints there. Value is a mixed bag. Pizza starts at $21, and although it's enough for two people, I recommend getting an appetizer or salad as well. But cocktail prices are pretty average, around $14. Do I wish everything was cheaper? Sure. Was I disappointed with what I got? Nah. Overall, we'll definitely return, but it'll probably be an occasional thing. This is for "I feel like fancy wood fired pizza and cocktails" moods. read more

I love this place. The ambiance is cozy and a little quirky, which I enjoy. It feels a little like a local European cafe, in a suburban neighborhood. The staff is great, very friendly. The food is fantastic and they make some delicious cocktails. The charcuterie board is incredible. I'm a huge fan of their pizzas, especially the Quixote and the Walter. I also took a gluten-free friend once and she said their GF crust was fantastic. I'll take her word for it... Anyway, definitely recommend this spot, even if you're not living in northern King Co. It's worth the trip. read more

It's nice to have this eatery in the neighborhood. My go to pizza is Magherite, delicious. The fried oysters, fried chicken sandwich, bread and butter are always favorites for me. I tried the salad with purple lettuce or was it radicchio-so so bitter. Inedible. Similar to another reviewer posted here; I didn't bother anyone about it. I just want to enjoy my meal. Restaurant ambiance is nice. Good vibes. Parking sucks. Limited spots. Had to park down the street in the surrounding neighborhood. All in all, I would come back again because we need more local eateries. Just get rid of that bitter salad. lol read more

Best authentic pizza in the area. Ive tried them all IMO they do it right consistantly.

Great little pizza stop! Very good pizza with a standard white flour crust, mostly crispy and held up well. Toppings where all good quality and tasty. Some interesting choices for topping combinations. Lots of excellent choices for beer on tap as well which doesn't hurt things. Service was the next star, they did a great job with several people coming by to make sure all was well and our main waitress was on point all evening. The local 104 is a bit out of the way but a good local spot, parking is something of an issue although manageable. We were outside, a good choice in hot weather, but local 104 is a former mini mart and on a main street. That means a fair bit of traffic going by which wasn't bad but could be better. All in all, I recommend you drop by and have a pizza and a beer. You won't go wrong here. read more

Tried this restaurant last week on the basis of its reviews, which are overall high. The menu is relatively small and leans primarily, on its pizza offerings. There are a few starters and even fewer entrees, most of which, by description, appear unremarkable. The pizzas are neopolitan style, from a wood-fired oven. The thin, crisp crust on the Margherita pizza we ordered was nicely blistered and very good. Margherita is a simple pizza with a light tomato sauce topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Although the sauce was good, the pizza was light on toppings. It would have benefited from some fresh herbs, in addition the basil leaves, to enhance the sauce and more mozzarella as those provide the substance of the pizza. We also ordered a Meatball plate, 3 small meatballs in a pool of red sauce and, a Little Gem lettuce salad served with lardons, blue cheese and a buttermilk dressing. We omitted the blue cheese. The salad was the star of the meal. Lettuce was fresh, crisp with just the right amount of dressing. The somewhat tough to chew lardons seemed out of place and didn't enhance an otherwise tasty salad. The meatballs were tender, if somewhat bland. I ordered a glass of rose. The wine was good, but at $13 the pour was a slight 3-4 ozs. Service was professional, but not friendly. On a relatively slow, early Sunday evening, we stood at the entry for 5+ min. without any of 3 employees within a few feet of us even addressing us. A simple: "Hello, someone will be with you shortly" would have been appreciated. The bottom line on Local 104 is also high. The total for our meal was over $70 with tax & tip it came to $85. The pizza combinations offered are unusual. The menu indicates that there are "No Substitutions". Most of us are accustomed to being able to add or subtract from specialty pizzas, or to simply order the pizza toppings of your choice. At a range of $19-29 for a medium-size pizza(The Margherita, $19, was the least expensive pizza on the menu.) more flexibility from the kitchen would be appreciated. read more

Go there NOW! Local 104 is an unassuming place that really delivers on exceptional food and bevs. I remember it as a 7-11 about a hundred years ago and am sooo impressed by what it's morphed into. I ALWAYS love the food and bevs I order and the waitstaff isn't obsequious ($5 word) but attentive and patient. I recently had dinner there with a friend whose dietary restrictions were on another level, and our waitress was a real trooper and endlessly helpful. Seriously, go now. read more

This place is our neighborhood favorite for upscale food with a laidback vibe. We always get pizza, the Walter is my favorite. It's decadent, creamy, garlicky, and perfection. Portion sizes certainly match what you're paying for. The inside of the restaurant is cozy, welcoming, and all around good energy. Service is always kind and friendly. Overall, a really good find! read more

Really nice set up inside, and had a lot of seating out front. We did not see the back patio. The pizza was not as crispy on the bottom as I would normally like but there was a good ratio of cheese and pepperoni. The fresh basil on top was a nice touch. The bread loaf is so worth it - warm and fresh. The butter that came with it was room temp and had flaky sea salt on top. Would definitely come back. The parking lot is not large but we thankfully found a spot. read more

Great food, cool atmosphere & exceptional service. Food: great presentation & delicious. Ambiance: relaxed, good music that isn't too loud. Cool vibe. Service: very attentive yet not overly so.

Seating both inside and out. The staff is really nice. Cherry on top, I've never had an establishment match my musical taste the way this place does.

Local 104 has a nice atmosphere and is a very relaxing place. The pizza is very good because each ingredient on our pizza had a purpose and complimented the other ingredients. You could tell the pizza was designed by someone who knows what they're doing. However, I struggle to give over three stars to a restaurant that: 1) charges $8-11+ for beer 2) charges nearly $30 for the said pizza that would not feed 2 people without a second dish, salad, or appetizer 3) has servers who see your water is empty, move the water pitcher out of the way to put other stuff on your table but do not refill your water.

Great pizza, not like the usual mediocre chain pizzas. Good selection of beer. I've been back & it's consistently good.

The menu has not changed in at least 8 years and is now stale and so overpriced that it is beyond belief. Over $100 for non alcoholic drinks, a pizza and some salad is preposterous. The pizza is excellent as is the service. Just please, please update the menu to make it more relevant to today's market and rethink the pricing. read more

I didn't even know this place existed but I was on a date and he brought me here before our movie. The menu is unique and the service is great. They have garage doors that can open for outdoor seating but since it's November in Seattle they were obviously closed. I can see how this place will be amazing in the summertime. The waiter was so accommodating. I asked for a drink with a specific flavor profile and the bartender made me an amazing cocktail. They have a fun menu and there was a dish I can't believe I liked. It was potatoes with prunes and a caramel sauce. I don't know what sick mind came up with this but it was actually delicious. The only downside to this place is that I was cold and kept my jacket on the whole time. You have to come here and try the fun, unique foods and enjoy the servers! read more
