Half eaten pizzas
Pooja S.

I haven't had a lot of good pizza in the Seattle area so the other day I stopped by Serious Pie on a Thursday evening. It was a great day outside, we had a dog with us, and so we opted to sit on the patio. There were not a ton of people out there, maybe one other group, and the area was super spacious. A lot of the pizza flavors are really intriguing. The clam Pizza immediately caught my eye but of course they were out. But it was national cheese pizza day so we ordered one of their cheese pizzas (selecting 3 types of cheese) and one of their potato pizza. Both were delicious. They had a really crust and all the toppings were generous and flavorful! The employees here especially went above and beyond. They brought the dog water, and were really generous about treats (asking first of course). Definitely a nice chill place to get a pizza!

Nduja Bella pizzas
Justin J.

Went here for dinner after spending some time across the street in at great notion and overall had a great experience! A friend and I split the two specials for this month which were both Nduja Bella (a thinly sliced sausage). One was sweeter with baked apricots and had an amazing flavor to it combined with the pesto and burrata. The other had yakima corn and was more of a neutral taste. The ambiance was nice as we sat outside in the corner 6 table as the sun was setting and felt like a perfect summer day. One standout was our waitress, she was extremely attentive and went into great detail talking about each of the different pizza options. We also really enjoyed getting to know her!

Small outdoor dining space with tons of unique pizza, sammies and salads. Got the Pork Shoulder sammie that came with some local crisps I hadnt had. It was a fair portion for the price and the peppers (I think) were the real shining flavor. Simple cuisine with no indoor space (at least when I was there) in a lil industrial neighborhood.

Clam pizza
Eric P.

In Seattle for a guys trip and checked out SP in Ballard. The pizza was fantastic. Great crust with good chew. We sampled about 4 pies and the favorite was the clam. Try the homemade ranch. Inside is small but they do have a patio. Very friendly staff.

Ordered pizza to go and it was ready pretty quickly. Was super yummy and light! Perfect for a snack or dinner for 1-2

Marinated Lacinato Kale
Emily D.

The location downtown was my favorite pizza in the city growing up. My family and I would share a margarita pizza- eating the warm pie together on rainy days remains some of my favorite memories in Seattle. After moving back to the area as an adult, i wanted to try it again to see if it lived up to what I remember it being. I visited the Ballard location last weekend with my partner and it did NOT disappoint. The staff is so kind and helpful, and the vibe is great with the Viking details and outdoor eating area. We got the potato rosemary pizza and it was perfect!! The potatoes were sliced thin and they did not skimp on the herbs. The crust is the best part. We also got the beet salad and the kale Caesar salad.

Two seasonal pizzas
Neha N.

Super delicious! After a Saturday exploring Ballard, this really hit the spot. The pies have tons of seasonal and unique flavors, but definitely run on the small side and are a bit pricey. It's a sit-down spot and the waiters were friendly and helpful, but it was definitely pretty busy. It's a nice cozy ambiance, and they have seating that can easily fit bigger groups.

yukon gold potato, pecorino romano, rosemary with sausage
Kevin J.

Came here on a road trip through Seattle and saw that serious pie was a hot destination. I ordered on the phone first and then came to pick it up. It wasn't crowded at all the late afternoon but they seemed to take a while to come out with our food. In addition, it didn't come with chili flakes and it took them forever to even find a packet. I ordered the yukon gold potato, pecorino romano, rosemary pie with extra Italian sausage. After bringing it to the locks, I bit in to a pie with good crust, a bit undercooked potatoes, and expensive sausage. The pizza was almost $30 with the extra sausage. Flavor wise it was a great combination but it was just a bit small in addition to the undercooked potato. Overall it was kinda just average for me. It's a bit too pricey for me and not good enough to try it again.

Fresh Mozzarella Pizza
Pratima M.

A no-frills pizza spot nestled into the heart of Ballard, right next to all of the breweries. My friends and I were at Obec Brewing and got a pie to-go to snack on while we were there... and this just might be some of my favorite pizza in Seattle! It was super easy to order from their website and run across the street to pick it up. The Mozzarella Pizza was SO. FIRE. The wood-fired crust was delicious and the cheese was melty and fresh and the sauce was so darn good -- I can't say anything else other than to go get it, like now! I am definitely coming back!

Place your order at the sidewalk host stand for take out or outdoor dining.

They are Not kidding! This is some Serious Pie! How do I describe this? One of my dining companions said 'I think this has ruined all other pizza for me.' That's a good descriptor. The wood fired crust is crunchy at the edges and well cooked (as in the pizza chef did is correctly). The sauce has a nice herb quality. There is a fragrant olive oil in there. The mozzarella on my pie was thick and creamy, not overly chewy or stringy and the fresh basil has a nice mild flavor. I had an iced tea, which is fresh brewed, and it is one of the best iced teas I've had at a restaurant. They also have house made lemonade, soft drinks, beer amd wine. Walk up to the cashier on the sidewalk to place your order and select one of their picnic tables on either side of the street to dine-in. They have a 3 minute parking spot for pre-ordered take-out carry out. The staff are very friendly. This place is no frills. The attention is on the food, and it's really good.

Sweet Fennel Sausage Pizza with added mushrooms
Jay H.

Really nice place to chill with friends and grab a beer and some food .. friendly staff , and delicious wood fired pizza .. crispy crust and delectable fennel sausage.. it was the perfect amount and I had leftovers for the next day.. I was surprised I was able to find parking as that area is pretty busy ..

Sweet Fennel Sausage Pizza - Delicious
Doug G.

Stumbled on this place while making a U-turn and what a lucky day it turned out to be! Delicious lunch, pictures do not do this place justice. Picture looks like any other pizza, but this one was really really delicious . Cool, fun, zero pretention in this place. While orderingordering, we were told it will be 15 minutes to prepare, in reality it was 10, another pleasant surprise. Definitely a repeat!

There's actually a hidden backyard seating area that's dog friendly. Owner was super friendly and went around asking about everyone's experiences. The Mean: Corned beef was not the most tender (I'm still partial to Dingfelder's), but it's well seasoned. Mint with mustard is a combination I never would have guessed would work, but the sharpness complemented each other nicely. Red cabbage had a nice tang and the soft bun for the contrast of texture. The Steak Tartare Club: Steak tartare surprisingly mild, almost feels more like a BLT with a background of slight beefy squishy texture (but in a good way!). The yuzu kosho was not too spicy and the rye bread toasted to a crisp added a good bit of crunch and almost nutty flavor. Will be back for the Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy.

tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.
