Unimpressive. Lacking flavor. Ordered the 'Margherita 22'. Perhaps they ran out of basil? Or perhaps I just ordered wrong entirely.

Stop reading yelp and just go here!!! Best pizza ever! Order the grapefruit Margarita it's made to perfection! I will be coming here again and again. read more

I tried Pizzeria 22 last night for the first time! Hands down...This authentic Napoli style pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. From it's perfectly thin,soft, yet crispy crust to its whole made sauces and fresh mozzarella....any topping will leave you enticed for more. Let me not forget to mention their one of a kind extremely moist not too sweet Tiramisu, what a perfect way to end the meal! I recommend saving part to enjoy with your coffee in the morning;) I strongly suggest every person in West Seattle to at least try Pizzeria 22 once. For those of you have, I'm sure you agree read more

If you have any excuse to be in West Seattle at dinner time, stop by Cary Kemp's delightful new restaurant, Pizzeria 22 (Ventidue) at 4213 College Street. Just one block north of Admiral Way and 1/2 block East of California Street, it's a short detour off I-5. Their phone number is (206) 687-7701. Cary, who trained in Naples and has been part of the Seattle restaurant scene for 20 years, recently opened his own restaurant, featuring authentic Italian wood fired pizza. He uses the finest ingredients in traditional dishes (salad caprese and margherita pizza) and in unexpected ways (salami and pepperoncini pizza). This charming restaurant, decorated with Cary's personal collection of Italian pottery and kitchen utensils, features a nice wine selection and a full bar. Whatever you order for dinner, save room for dessert; because Cary serves (drum roll please) wood fired s'mores!!! read more

My wife and I wrote a fairly negative reviews of Pizza 22 earlier this year and recently found that it was "filtered" by Yelp. They claim that a their system flagged it as fake. Here is the review again: "I have had better Neapolitan pizza in Seattle. We ordered the Margarita 22 as it is usually a good indication of how well the pizza is made. In this case, the crust was overcooked on the edges with an unpleasant burnt taste and not the smokey char that should come from a wood fire pizza. The center of the pizza was soggy and fell apart as it was moved from the serving dish to the plate. The sauce was o.k. but nothing special and tasted flat without any zip. Also they didn't slice the pizza for you and didn't provide a decent cutting utensil - that is not a huge deal but a pet peeve." read more

Amazing true Naples pizza! Delicious!!! Groovy atmosphere, check it out!

Great food. Fun staff. Been here a few times and intend to return many more. So glad it's walking distance from home.

My first time visiting this adorable pizza place was filled with good memories, which brought me back again and again. I walked in with zero knowledge of this place and was pleasantly surprised. It was right before the dinner rush started that myself and my three friends walked into the place and (luckily) got a table. The service was fast, friendly and the atmosphere was fun. There is a legit woodfire stove and you can see the pizzas going in and coming out. The owner has been there everytime I have been there and you can tell that he knows what he is doing. The pizza is my favorite in Seattle -- all of Seattle, not just West Seattle. The prices are reasonable and everyone seems to be happy there. On my first visit, a guy at the tables next to us bought us the clams appetizer, telling us that "These are the best clams you will ever have!" He was right. This place will not disappoint. And the dessert, the wood fired smores, OHMYGOD! Do get those if you save room, its delicious. The only unfortunate thing about this place is that it is hard to get a table. Unless you go early, this place can get busy and does not have many tables for the volume of business I have seen them experience. That will not stop me though because it is the best pizza in town! read more

My husband & I came here for Happy Hour recently, a 2nd visit for us. Both visits have been great! Happy Hour is from 4-6pm and offers pizza's @ $5.00, and drinks @ a discount as well. The pizza's are true to Italy, a thin crust with just the right amount of toppings (not over done), and they're cooked in a wood-fired oven which was also imported from Italy. We both have spent time there & this is as close to Italian pizza as it gets. We had great service from the bartender, who btw, makes a mean Manhattan. The space is small & intimate, very much like dining in an Italian pizzeria. They offer chili flakes, but their homemade chili oil is a great topper for those who love a bit of heat on their pizza. Bottom line: this place is great, I recommend you try them out! read more

This place is great ! The pizza is fast and delicious. Very intimate and cozy atmosphere. The 3 Bartenders Jesse, Carl, and Jesse are fantastic. Try the Crudo pizza and add some of "Carl's Burnin Hot Oil" read more

This place has high quality pizza and a nice ambiance. My only complaint is the pricing. ($15 for a small pizza) I'm not a cheapskate but I'll hit up some of my favorite spots around town for half the price. Was satisfied with the product though and am going to go back in the future. read more

This place is a gem tucked away in West Seattle. We came here on Yelp's recommendation and we're very satisfied. The pizza was excellent and reminded us of the style we ate in Italy. The s'mores (traditional or dark chocolate peanut butter cup) were to die for. read more

I've been to Pizzaria 22 several times. The pizzas are some of the best around. The salads are big and good. I'd bump the review up to 4 or 5 stars but for the noise level. Both rooms are way too loud. Last time I was there I could barely hear the couple we were with. Go for the food during off hours or get it to go. During busy times it's just way too loud. read more

Fun little spot in W. Seattle. I heard great things are really wanted to love this place. The service was fun and attentive (although a little unorganized). Wine/beer selection is great. We had the meatballs and a couple of salads to start. The meatballs were the low point of the night. Zero flavor and a very weird/soft texture. The caesar was really tasty but seriously drenched in dressing. I enjoyed the pizza but think that it could have been way better if they were simply using better quality ingredients. Crust was perfectly crisp and slightly chewy...yes! It's just that the toppings were so....not great. Bummer. read more

This is my favorite pizza in the world! No questions. I always get the Al Pepperoni and add goat cheese and red onion. I do love Tony's in San Francisco also. Gotta show respect, but Pizzeria 22 is right there with em. Everything about this pizza is perfect. The texture, the flavors, the presentation. Crust is amazing. Crunchy and chewy. I also love the environment. They have a new large dining room, but I prefer the original tightly packed space whenever it is open. This place is a must. In response to Melissa D. Sounds like you would rather have a lot of really bad pizza. Complaining about size and price... Try Pizza Hut. I understand everyone has their preferences and all that, but this is honestly one of the best pizza's you can buy anywhere. No question. read more

The Best Pizza, you will not be disappointed. All the ingredients are fresh, and the quality is top notch. I don't think its overpriced for what you get. The salads are generous, and the pizzas are big. House wine is good and not overpriced either. I've been many times and I highly recommend it. read more

From our very first visit to Pizzeria 22, we have been treated so well that we just keep coming back. Carl was our server/bartender the first night. He was working really hard and was still very friendly and attentive. Our pizza arrived in 5 minutes. There is a fabulous proper wood stove. This really is our favorite pizza in Seattle. We are slowly working our way through the menu which is difficult because we keep wanting what we've already as it is so delicious. Carl and Jessie are always working hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. Even though we love the food, we wouldn't keep going back if it weren't for the service. There are a lot of choices in Seattle. Both Carl and Jessie are worth coming in for. Both excellent bartenders as well. Also they have this really lovely chili oil that I've become addicted to. It is Carl's recipe and he told us how he makes it. It takes ages. And as I don't have a wood oven, it wouldn't be the same at home. Fortunately they sell it! Even the bottle is adorable. I highly recommend this restaurant! It is small and very busy on the weekends, but worth the wait. Weeknights are much calmer. read more

Stuffed mushroom appetizer underwhelming and overpriced. Two kinds of pizza were both great recipes that were very poorly executed. Both thin crust pizzas that were floppy & messy with poor texture but good flavor. The BEST s'mores for desert! However, I bet they are the only s'more made in any west Seattle establishment. I'll never get pizza there again, but i'll carry out a s'more. read more

Walked in got a drink at the bar right away. Staff is very friendly, the ambiance is great and a very upscale feel with the decor. Ordered the roasted chicken garlic, best pizza I've ever had! Staff is extremely friendly and outgoing will definitely be returning in the future. read more

If you like cold pizza, salads that could kill you and horrific service, this is the place for you. This was a restaurant I have loved in the past. Celebrated my 40th birthday party here, lots of date nights here, have recommended it to many, many people here in West Seattle. I will NEVER go here again. You have lost my business and I will tell everyone to go to Mio Posto (which I hear is amazing) down the street. Heck, you'd get better customer service from Sbarro in a mall food court. I ordered a pizza and salad through grub hub tonight. Pizza was delivered 40 minutes late, was cold and they sent the wrong salad. When I called Pizzeria 22, I was told it wasn't their fault and I needed to call Grub Hub. They also told me the pizza was sitting there for 30 minutes waiting to be picked up. Do they not have any pride on what they serve? I explained how frustrated I was that my pizza was completely cold and that they sent the wrong salad. On top of that, the romaine on the salad was pink and wilted...and it's caesar salad which I am allergic to because of the anchovies. The young guy who answered the phone was very nice and tried talking with the "manager" of the restaurant. I could hear their entire conversation. The "manager" (sounded like an older guy) did not care about the situation at all. He didn't have the courtesy to even get on the phone...instead he sounded like an a-hole to this poor kid and didn't offer an apology for the wrong salad that THEY sent. They blamed the cold pizza on the delivery guy which is probably true and not why I called. My main issue with them was the wrong salad which the delivery guy told me to call the restaurant. I am not one who posts negative reviews and I get the pressure that small businesses are under but I have totally written off this restaurant. On a Sunday night, I can't imagine the "manager" not having the time to apologize for their mistake or offer a free salad next time I come to dine. I get grub hub is potentially at fault for the cold pizza but the "manager" needs to be fired for his heartless attitude. read more

Watch out! I was adopted by Sicilans who owned a restaraunt (from Chicago)..I was very impressed with the food here. The service was great (I suspect the owner was my bartender) and he was very humble and obviously proud of his food. Rightfully so! The pizza is amazing! Thin and perfect crust and a POW! of delicious flavor without a huge mess of toppings.I also sampled the mushroom appetizer. That was amazing as well.They have a lovely roasted garlic cheese filling and come simmering in marinara..YUM! I decided to try one of their home created fresh juice coctails. I dont remember the name, but it was fresh squeezed grapefruit juice,bacardi,a liquer and their own special recipe cinnamon syrup.Absolutely Fabulous!! I also had the pleasure of a pint of an East coast local beer called Genny or Genesse. It went well with the food and all the while I could feel a strong sense of family here... If you are a' foodie' then this is the place for you. The location is a little off the beaten path but not hard to find at all.Definitely worth the search and once you find it,you wont forget it.I will definitely return soon (:D read more

Prosciutto Primavera is delicious with lots of arugula. The service was awesome and the place is cute and cozy. Great place.

I usually love this warm, friendly neighborhood joint, but we've been disappointed the past couple times we've been. Both times our pizzas were burnt. The first we ate anyway, the second was unacceptable. We discovered it only after we drove it home and sat down at the kitchen table. How disappointing to have to order another, drive back, and wait another 40 minutes for dinner? They apologized and made another, but that was it. They've added to the menu, as well as the space, and I worry they are trying to do too much. Both rooms were full and the staff was busy answering to go orders from three different online apps. There were only two pizza makers, and they were slammed. I'm glad they are still popular, but I think the quality is suffering. read more

thin crust, wood fired pizzas. you almost believe you are in italy. italian beers, outdoor picnic tables, friendly wait staff, quality ingredients, very fast service. awesome new addition to west seattle if you like itialian style pizzas. eat in or take out. read more

Food was not good. Went here with my boyfriend because it's in the neighborhood and saw the Yelp reviews and thought it was worth a try. Pizza crust was half burnt and there was no sauce on the pizza. Pretty much thin dough a couple pieces of chicken lightly garnished with cheese and some cloves of garlic. Don't let the wording in "homemade" lasagna fool you. It was terrible. No taste and no cheese and a small portion. I would rate Olive Garden better than this place. Also it's not a good deal take your money elsewhere. Maybe the ratings were high because it seems to be a type of hipster spot, but it's not worth it for the food. read more

Amazing pizza service and atmosphere thank you jessica and the rest of the staff.

Always supremely delicious. If you like Neopolitan style pizza, you will not find a better pie in Seattle. Great atmosphere, nice staff, expert cocktails and decent selection of beer on tap. And, if you have dogs, save a bit of the crust --- they will love you for it! read more

Best pizza place in West Seattle by far, perhaps even all of Seattle. I have only been here once but will visit this place regularly. Great pepperonis on the pizza and the crust is what really makes it. It has great flavor from the dough fermentation combined with the wood fired oven. read more

Love this place! The food is great and it is very family friendly. Best pizza in West Seattle. Great happy hour menu too.

I've been hoping for a quality wood fire pizza in West Seattle and I finally got it. Great staff provided for a wonderful dinner with recommendations that proved so worthy. Carl had made an incredible concoction with figs that were perfectly in season, Jesse poured the perfect wine, and Kerry provided the perfect and informative host/owner. Thanks guys! I'll be back soon.. read more

First, we were seated at 2 top despite the waitress acknowledging that it was probably too cozy for 3 people. Second, food was just ok; nothing special. Pizza crust was bland but toppings were good (proscuitto and arugula). The insalata 22 was not worthy but the caprese was pretty good. The chili oil was a nice surprise. I like the cozy atmosphere, good customer service and mom and pop feel. It was by no means awful but just not worth returning to. read more

OK First, I have to say I'e been sooo wanting to check this out and 1st off, I am crazzzy for some wood-fired pizza! Which IS pretty good here, the chicken-pesto one was perfectly done, with the most excellent thin-chewy-ness one expects in Italian wood-fired pie! The mixed greens salad had a great dressing made with obvious QUALITY balsalmic BUT WAIT! Why the 2 stars?? Because my lovelies, once again,good-to-great service in Seattle seems to be something that one can only gamble on, with the house usually winning. But it's more then that, Ms.Blondie seemed positively BOTHERED when my partner asked politely if there could maybe,ya know, be a table for 2 in the place....I've been to Italy, I've been to some small,small joints there but they still WELCOME you and will find you a place to sit. She then tossed the menus at us like so many playing cards (Like how I'm staying with the gambling theme?) When I asked for some ice for my Coke and more water, she mumbled something and then placed the bottle of water on the table with a "THUNK!"(no pouring here), when the poor man next to us with a small child asked for pepper, she did the same thing with the pepper grinder as if to say "Grind it yourself, you breeder!" WTH??!! We looked at each other and asked"What did we do!?" The bartender dude was nice , could've done without his red-denimmed-ass in my face when he was addressing the other table but....my question is : You are a small place and your product is good but HOW can you afford to have such a surly,unpleasant unwelcoming employee cuz I will not return if I see her sour puss in there again. oH and Mr. RedPants? A Moscow Mule is made with Ginger BEER-not Ginger ALE- just sayin'.... read more

Among the best pizza I've ever had. The cured meat sampler was the perfect accompaniment.

The owner is very friendly I feel always I'm home when I go to this pizza place the pizza is so good right amount of cheese right amount of sauce read more

Picked the $20 meat pizza and got one with a limp center and not much in the way of toppings. A rather poor value.

Nothing special here. Average food with so-so service. The pizza was fine, but I'm not a fan of the type of crust that is mostly burnt to a blackened crisp. I like thin crust, but heavily charred crusts are not my favorite. I thought the salad was fine, but the stuffed mushroom appetizer was nothing to write home about. read more

we just got home from Pizzeria 22. Love, Love it !!!!! We will be back and bring neighbors. Good job pizzeria!!!! We are hoping we will be able to get in this winter. read more

This quaint neighborhood restaurant has become a favorite of ours! Every pizza we've tried is amazing. The s'mores dessert is a must! They also have a great happy hour. Carl and Jesse will take great care of you. read more

Super friendly and great food. I love thin style pizza. The ingredients are very fresh. We sat outside at the picnic tables with the umbrellas and had a nice cocktail before dinner. I have been here before and will come here again. This is my favorite pizza joint in West Seattle. read more

Great place friendly and good pizza. Wish they will come up with different daily special other than clams.
