We picked this spot for dinner with friends, we had an event at the Museum of Flight and needed something nearby. With only having location as the main basis for picking this restaurant, we didn't have expectations. This place was delicious! Absolutely everything- meatballs, salad, pizza. My friend said the meatballs were some of the best shes had and she was still talking about them days later. We split the Diavola and Piccante pizza - wood fired yummy perfection. Will definitely come back if ever in the area read more

I loved the ambiance and the service was friendly and efficient. The pizza, however, was average. It was not cooked enough and even though I had paid $2.50 extra for anchovies on my Margarita pizza, they were few and far between. I think this is the first time in my life where the pizza when served would NOT have burnt my mouth! I might go back because I enjoyed the ambiance, but I would definitely ask them to bake the pizza really well. read more

I hadn't visited this gem in quite some time, and I'm happy to say it's just as good as I remembered. The staff were wonderful--clearly working as a team and supporting one another, even during a busy service (which came as no surprise given how delicious the food is). My salad was slightly under-seasoned, but I still enjoyed it, and everything else we tried was fantastic--from the pizza to the cannolis. I would absolutely recommend this place! read more

I asked Yelp's new AI to recommend a good Neapolitan pizza spot and it found this so I thought I'd give it a try. It's a lovely cozy traditional restaurant with charming decor. The service is very friendly and efficient. Shout out to Liza for amazing service! Alright on to the food. Cappuccino 5/5 This is a very good cup of coffee that really reminds me of my time in Italy. Low acidity and smooth with no sugar needed. Excellent to the last drop. 4/5 Clams have great flavor and wrapped in a foil. The sauce is slightly tangy with a strong hint of white wine and very flavorful. This was very delicious but unfortunately the clams were a bit sandy. They apologized and didn't charge us for it so I really appreciate that. margherita pizza (5/5) I added sausage and mushrooms to this pizza and it is absolutely delicious. The mushrooms were plump and juicy and the sausages were delicate, bouncy and meaty, flavorful and amazing to eat. The pizza itself is a masterpiece of perfectly baked crust, delicious cheese and tomato sauce. This pizza is hands down the best pizza I've had in Seattle so far! I did not have room for dessert but I'll definitely come back to try other items. read more

Came here for the first time to treat myself. Parking was easy and there was plenty. The service was excellent and I got to sit right at the bar and watch them make all the pizzas! I ordered the steamed clams with bread. It was so delicious and fresh! I had their Giovanni pizza and the toppings were definitely plenty. I'm not sure if I'm just used to the crust on the pizza or because of all the toppings, but some parts of it was mushy in texture. It was still really good. Just a texture thing. I ended my night with cannolis. Also their spicy olive oil is so good! I had to put it on everything! I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I've seen this place for over a decade now but never gone in until last night. It's very homey and cute inside. I finally took the plunge to go because my friend said this place is better than Tutta Bella. We ordered the Vomero (prosciutto and arugula) and Enzo (rapini and sausage) (both 12 inch pizzas) and both had a delicious, non-soggy crust that was soft and well-baked. There was plenty of toppings on both pizzas, but I do wish there was a little more prosciutto on the Vomero. The sausage they used was delish and I never had rapini before but I ended up loving it. Pizzas came out FAST! It felt like under 5-10 minutes! One pizza should be enough for 1-2 people. I overhead that they can do split toppings on 1 pizza but it could only have 1 sauce. Total for 2 pizzas was about $46 after tax. I look forward to coming back and trying more! Service was fine but it did feel a little rushed. For instance, we were almost finishing up but I was still eating when we got asked if we wanted our leftovers boxed. Admittedly, it was getting pretty crowded so I understand if they wanted open tables. They boxed the leftovers for us which was nice. Only concern I had was that they seated us in a small table in the corner by the bar where the chili oil, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper were on this little shelf that also showed old pictures. The shelf and pictures were very dusty and every time my boyfriend grabbed the red pepper flake bottle I was afraid the dust would sprinkle onto the pizzas. Considering it was at eye level too, it wasn't great for the appetite. If any staff read this review please consider cleaning this shelf once in awhile! read more

We stayed almost next door to this place during our trip to Seattle, and this quickly became a favorite. Their pizzas are expertly made in a wood fire oven. I love their dough which is chewy and has a great flavor. The meatballs with marinara sauce were excellent. We came back several times during our visit. read more

I finally ordered something other than a pizza and a salad. I had the Cannelloni di Magro with a Caesar Salad. The Cannelloni was filled with a thick amount of cheese and spinach that was very flavorful. Delicious and tasty overall. This is a great place to dine in or get it to go. read more

Pizzeria Pulcinella - Cannelloni di Magro - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A small little spot on Rainier Ave in between Seattle and Renton. Parking is small if the restaurant is packed so I highly suggest just street parking. It has some dining tables as well as a small bar area but it is most definitely cozy. I recommend making reservations if you have the opportunity to. The service was great; our waitress was super friendly and helped answer all our questions. Despite a packed house, she made sure to always check in on us and make sure we were okay. The wait for our food didn't take too long either. It was our first time here so we wanted to try a little of everything. The use a wood fire method to cook the pizza and it showed in the smokiness of each pizza. Our personal favorite pizza definitely had to be the Giovanni. You could taste the separation of flavors from the sauce and toppings but also taste how each piece complimented each other. The dough was on the softer side which was something we had to get used to but that didn't matter because the flavors were definitely there. While the other dishes we tried were also good, it wasn't something that screamed "come back for more" to me. Will definitely be back for the pizza. The desserts were so yummy that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. The Cannoli is definitely the must try but make sure to order it early or ask before your meal to make sure they don't run out because they definitely do run out (we came back the next day to order some to-go since they ran out the night prior). read more

My family and I love this place! It was the first pizzeria we found when we moved to Seattle and we truly lucked out because their pizza, salads, meat balls, wine, literally everything is amazing. My son especially loves the Italian sodas. Depending on the time of day there can be a long wait, however, the food and service are well worth it! We get the same server almost every single time and he is so kind and professional. We dine in and order take out and are never disappointed. An absolute must try in the South Seattle area! read more

One word -Sorprendente! Grazie for bringing Italy closer to our home! Amazing food, felt like we were in Italy and enjoying the atmosphere and the food. I started with Eggplant parmigiana which was a delicious eggplant with an amazing marinara sauce and cheese. We had the Mediterranean Pizza with chicken which was delicious, soft , thin crust with basil, olives and felt like we were back in Italy. For desserts, we had Spumoni which was a mix of chocolate, cherry and pistachio ice cream . The cherry was overpowering the rest of the flavors. The Cannoli was another masterpiece! What a delicious ricotta cheese filling. Super friendly staff and an Italian ambience! read more

Nice ambiance, great service and delicious food. Serves some of the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever had. Ordered the following: Insalata Pulcinella - fresh mixed greens, the seasonal fruit (pear) and mozzarella made the salad really tasty Margherita pizza - fresh basil and mozzarella, delicious tomato sauce and dough, simple yet delightful Vesuvio pizza - delicious tomato sauce and dough topped with sausage and red onions; the red onions had a nice crunch and its sweet flavor complemented the sausage well Would definitely come back! I've been thinking about the pizzas I ate here all week. read more

This Napolitano pizza joint deserves all the hype! The crust, the toppings (but you really only just need the margarita), the wine, the breadsticks!! We always get the caesar which is dressed to perfection and the Sorrento and the Margarita - they're amazing. Full of flavor, perfect crust and texture, and served fresh from the oven. The cheesecake is super yummy for dessert as well. The ambience of this place is also really great - it just feels truly Italian. The staff is awesome, and while it's a tiny little place, we can usually sneak a table. Parking can be challenging, but overall I just love this place - a true gem in Seattle. read more

Ordered a margarita and the muscles to my hotel room The pizza arrived quite cold which was a bummer b/c I could see the ingredients are of high quality . The tomato sauce felt like it was made out of fresh tomatoes . 4/5 The mussels were also ok - the sauce could use some more thickness and some more garlic . 3.5/5 All together i enjoyed dinner and will order from them again (if I get the chance ) read more

This is one of the best places in the city to get Neapolitan style pizza. We ordered the Margherita pizza, lasagna, and the Pulcinella salad. The greens are always fresh, and the pizza crust is perfect. The lasagna is pretty rich, so I could not finish it, but it tasted even better the next day. The restaurant is small, which I like and the service is impeccable. We were so hungry that we forgot to take pictures! You will not be disappointed having a meal here. read more

The first time we tried Pulcinella, it was one of the best dining experiences I'd ever had. The ambiance was cozy, and the food was excellent. The tiramisu of my dreams... The second time we went, we couldn't even get in. For the suggestion box: start taking reservations. In response to the owner, I've been told multiple times by staff that the restaurant does not take reservations, as I have tried to make one on more than one occasion. Now, because the owner was so rude in his response to my legitimate review, I'm lowering the rating from 3 to 1. I wouldn't bother returning to Pulcinella OR Vince's in Burien (which we frequent). Sansonina Ristorante, Enzo's Bistro, and Grazie will get my business. read more

We went to this FANTASTIC RESTAURANT last night for a birthday dinner - we have never been disappointed! That's why it's so popular! We had 4:30 pm reservations, but we had to wait until 5:00 pm and split into separate tables because a lady who finished her meal and paid her bill at 4:00 pm refused to leave her seat (she had her young daughter with her). When the staff told her there was a large party waiting with a 4:30 pm reservation, she got combative - telling them that it wasn't her problem - "they should have blocked off the tables." The staff and management were so gracious to her, her daughter, and our party. They tried everything including offering her another table. Nope. She parked there recording herself on her iPad while her daughter played on a switch until 6:00 pm when the police arrived. What can you do with restaurant squatters? Kudos to the staff and management at Pizzeria Pulcinella - they made the best of a lousy situation and we had a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY DINNER! Lasagna, Diavola pizzas, eggplant parm, meatballs... great service (as always)! read more

Fantastic local spot! Great authentic pizza, cozy atmosphere, quick service! Don't believe any recent negative reviews, just some crazy lady who decided she was going to make a scene and refused to leave (She was apparently there for HOURS after paying her bill), loud and rude to staff and other customers, recording people without consent and refusing to stop, playing videos/music on devices at loud volume, your basic entitled rude person stuff. Staff were AWESOME, and handled the situation very professionally. I haven't had to deal with someone acting SO unhinged and over-the-top being so antagonistic before, so the staff's professionalism (seriously, they have amazing patience) were hugely appreciated. Needless to say, everyone is welcome at this spot and you get lots of people from all over Seattle and Renton coming to this great little spot! This is one of those great melting-pot local establishments that I love about the PNW. This was the only time I had ever seen someone causing an issue, this place is super mellow. I definitely recommend the lasagna, fresh mozzarella caprese, and meatballs, but honestly it is tough to go wrong! If you like spicy, definitely try the Diavola pizza! The specials are also awesome, with a huge crazy calzone on the menu right now. On busy nights (Friday and Saturday, but sometimes Sunday) it helps to have a reservation, but usually the walk-in wait is quite short. Seriously, come try Pulcinella, it's always a great time. read more

Pizzeria Pulcinella is the closest thing to Neapolitan pizza from southern Italy. Not only is the pizza good but they have the best Caesar salad I have ever had. Their lasagna is also very good! Tip: don't add too many toppings to your pizza as it will overweight the crust. Less is more Staff is also very welcoming and friendly. Attentive but doesn't over bother you. Even with turnover they seem to have a consistent waitstaff that maintains this quality. read more

This pizza is very close to what you'd find in Italy which is rare to see in Seattle. I'm from New York and though I love New York pizza the most, you still gotta give it to real Italian style. Prices could be better but seems to be in line with what other places charge (with the exception of mod pizza). The pizza is large enough to share if you get a salad or a side. But for real, you could eat that by yourself. It's that good. If you sit at the bar, you can watch them make the pizzas which is cool! This place definitely has a loyal fan base and sometimes parking can be a nightmare because it's off of a residential street but the ambiance is nice and staff was kind. read more

Probably one of the best Neapolitan Pizza Place I have tried in Seattle We ordered Mario Pizza with cream sauce with rosemary chicken. It was flawless! The grilled chicken was delicious and the dough melts in your mouth The service was excellent!

She also let me click the picture of the bottle which was very sweet Def coming BACK!! read more

Wow! What a surprise! This place had great Italian food and delicious house wine. I highly recommend their meatball appetizer. It was so full of flavor and in a homemade marinara sauce. The sauce was so good that I ate it alone once the meatballs were finished. My son really enjoyed his cannelloni. Again, freshly made and so delicious. Their pizzas are made in a wood burning oven with high quality toppings. We ordered the Giovanni, minus tomatoes, add artichoke. They have house made chili oil, which made the pizza even more savory. It went perfect with a liter of their house wine, which poured about 6 glasses out of a chicken's mouth. So funny! One thing I would not order again is the clams appetizer. The clams were tiny! They were smaller than a dime! Definitely not what I expected, but I guess I'd never know unless I tried them. Regardless, the rest of the meal was fantastic and I would come back again and again! read more

Small place but they are super efficient. I've never had to wait, but even if you did, it is so worth it. My favorite is the cannelloni with the tomato cream sauce.

After reading such good reviews both on yelp and Google, we decided to come here for the pizza, this location is an hour away from our place so it was good that we were in the area. Looks like a single family house is converted into a Pizzeria. Parking can be tricky on weekends. Ample sitting options outside and inside for small as well as big groups. Placed order for pickup, which was ready when we arrived. We ordered their:- Margarita pizza - What did I just have, cloudy cheese with floating tomato sauce and a soggy crust. Seriously I paid $19 for such pizza. The price is sky rocket high, had the taste been different I would have no complains. I will stick to Ian's pizza for now. read more
