    margarita pizza burnt

    Wanted to grab a quick bite before our flight and I just had a few notes: -Our sodas tasted like water, we let the waiter know and they brought us new ones, no change but they nicely comped it for us. -Our appetizer was brought out before we had silverware -We had 3-4 different people bringing us various things. -Our ranch was $3 for a small dish and we were not told that it would be so fennel tasting. -Pizza was super super charred on the bottom, giving it a burnt taste. -Our $18 charcuterie board had 3 small pieces of cheese on it.

    No menu photo. Here's a receipt instead.

    This is a 3.5 Stars review. Serious Pie is fairly famous locally, especially those who are Tom Douglas fans. This Kirkland location, part of the Village in Totem Lake with ample parking, is typically quite full during weekends. We randomly walked in during a weekend and got the last table in the back corner, which turned out to be a great hidey-hole to people-watch. The inside of the restaurant is modern basic. Our service was swift. I suspect they depend on high turnovers cuz the pizza came out quite fast, too. There is a Cinemark next door, so there is an eat-and-go phenomenon, too. The Food: Tom's Tasty Tomato Soup, $13 - 4 Stars We happened to have read the reviews and learnt this soup is a must. Dang, the reviews are right! It is really good. It's spendy for a bowl of tomato soup - the primary reason I didn't give it a 5 Stars. Sweet Fennel Sausage Pizza, $25 - 4 Stars Mushrooms Pizza, $24 - 3 Stars This football shaped pizza is a hearty meal for someone with a healthy appetite or two meals for someone with smaller appetite. First off, both pizzas are tasty with good seasoning and flavors. The crust is tasty for the portions that are cooked properly. The sausage pizza is a quintessential Americana type of pizza. It was evenly prepped, and the cooking was evenly toasty throughout. The mushroom pizza is a "suburban" white sauce pizza. This one is lopsided - higher on one side, flatter on the other side. The sauce and cheese run over the flat side and spill over. (See photo) I can visually this pizza being rushed through the kitchen and shoved into oven without care. The pizza shows this sloppy execution. Far too much crust is left uncovered on one end as a result. This pizza costs plenty and opt not be handled sloppily. Minus 1 star.

    A Tom Douglas eatery with several locations in the greater Seattle area; popular hangout for good quality ingredients & creative toppings. If you're looking for a New York pizzeria, this ain't it. Honestly, I wouldn't even call this a pizzeria but more like an upscale place serving fancy flatbread offerings, PNW provincial style. Salads are fresh, parking is free but can be challenging, dim lighting & moderate noise level depending on the time of day. Full bar, prompt service, clean interior & restrooms, decent first date night spot. Serious about quality but if you're hungry for a New York slice, look elsewhere.

    Such a cool place to be! The vibe is cozy and they have a great selection of drinks! This pizza was great! Crispy thin crust with some very good ingredients on top. Lovely experience.

    Stopped in for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the prompt service. I had come in about 15 min before the end of HH and my pizza and beer were delivered to my table within 5 minutes. The happy hour portion is about a third of their regular pizza - which is reflected in their HH price. If I had come in with another, I would have suggested their Tuesday dine in special, which I think is a better deal. Overall the pizza had good flavor and the crust had a good texture and chew. The most surprising part was the pizza spice offered at each table that includes margoram, fennel, garlic and red pepper flakes. It was a nice topping to add to already flavorful pizza.

    Pear and caramelized onion pizza with hot honey drizzle
    Shuba S.

    Seriously good! Had the yummiest pear and caramelized onion pizza and a hearty chopped salad chock full of asparagus, red radishes, pistachios and hot honey. The pizza crust was light, chewy, and perfectly cooked. The onions rendered an earthy sweet flavor and together with the pear, cheese, and the hot honey, it made for one fab combo. Generously sprinkled the Serious pie pizza spice mix. It maximized the deliciousness of the food. Very addictive it is. The spice mix jars are sold as well for $10. We got a jar as wanted them for our home-made pizzas. Had the best service. The waitress was super friendly and attentive.

    Was told it would be ready in 15. Came back in 20 and it was ice cold. Dont really mind cold pizza but it made the gobs of mozz hard and chewy. Basil flavor was great, i can tell it would have been very good if it was hot or even warm. It was a cold rainy afternoon but still... Staff was very nice and welcoming/helpful. I would have asked them to heat it but I was at my car before I noticed. Should mention i did eat most of it fairly quickly.

    classic cheese pizza with tomato sauce and provolone, topped with Coro pepperoni
    Francesca S.

    I went late at night, and even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, the service was noticeably slow. It took a while to place our order and even longer for the food to arrive, which was a little surprising given the pace of the evening. That said, the pizzas themselves were excellent. I ordered two: the roasted oyster mushroom with crimini with truffle cheese, and the classic cheese pizza with tomato sauce and provolone, topped with Coro pepperoni. Both were flavorful and well-balanced. The mushroom pizza had a rich, earthy depth from the truffle cheese that paired perfectly with the roasted mushrooms, while the cheese and pepperoni pizza hit all the right comforting notes--savory, slightly tangy, and with just enough spice from the pepperoni. Portion-wise, two pizzas were definitely more than enough for two people, with leftovers to take home. While I wish the service had been more attentive, the quality and taste of the food made the visit worthwhile.

    6 years ago, Serious Pie was recommended when I came to Seattle. I went to the downtown location and loved it. I have wanted to go back. I was happy to go to the Totem Lake location on this trip. The Mushroom Pizza was even better than what I remembered my 6 years ago pizza was. The Brussels Sprouts were pretty amazing. The Lemonade was delicious, but I really wanted to try one of their cocktails, especially the Wicked Cocktails. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The bathrooms are gender neutral, individual rooms, clean and spacious. Service was great and I love the location as much as the Downtown Seattle location.

    I'm glad T-Doug has made a home on the eastside/best side as I can enjoy his seriously good pizza on this side of the lake. I'm a fan of Serious Pie, so to have this location in Kirkland just makes it easier for me to get to. I visited Serious Pie in Totem Lake while in the area and was able to take advantage of happy hour! On weekdays from 3-5pm, they have half size pizzas for eight bucks, which is why you come to Serious Pie. I ordered the sweet fennel sausage and peppers pizza on happy hour with the brussels sprouts. And for dessert, I had the coconut cream pie because no one should ever, ever, ever leave a T-Doug establishment without having the famous coconut cream pie. The food didn't take long to get. The pizza was delicious with the fennel sausage and loved the peppers for that extra kick. Crust was freshly made and the half size was great for one person. The brussels sprouts were crunchy and delicious, and would recommend for anyone who loves brussels sprouts. The coconut cream pie is the true winner though. This is the best coconut cream pie I've ever had! The thick coconut custard with the shreds of coconut and white chocolate is perfection. This is easily one of my favorite desserts! I love this pie. Overall, Serious Pie in Totem Lake is such a great addition to the growing area. The restaurant is located in the Totem Lake Village with street parking and a private parking lot and garage nearby. The space is large enough for groups and the bar is where you can see the pizza being baked in the oven. Staff was super friendly, too. I'm glad I can get my serious pie and coconut cream pie closer to home.

    Good food, but oh man the price. Come here if you are looking for unique toppings and appetizers, no meatballs or garlic knots in the place. I'd prefer a good quality pizza to this fancy topping trend OR a larger size to balance the price (or a filling on 'unique' and cheaper side). We went elsewhere to get fries when finished here as it was just not worth the price to us. Staff was pleasant but really didn't seem interested in working that Sunday late lunch.

    their pasta pizza was actually kinda good and super weird at the same time. it's only available on select days so you gotta time it but worth a try. also saw this flyer for tuesday pizza and wine night which looked fun

We joined at the restaurant and although there were tons of empty tables and we arrived pretty early we still had a 45 minute wait. Pretty hard with a toddler. The front is all parking and there's street parking. Not a lot of safe space to let a toddler run about. Food - chai tea - on the sweet side for chai - coconut cake - a tad too sweet for our taste and a bit dry - fries to share - fried chicken and gravy - saucy and tasty but wish it came with toast or biscuits - sandwich - my husband got this and it was ok. A little too wet for my taste. Overall, not a bad experience but compared to other spots it fell short. Maybe if we had jumped on the waitlist sooner and waited less it would have been better for us. Definitely an our fault move. The food was just ok. I was excited for the cake and a bit disappointed.

No, really, it sells out. My friend and I visited for happy hour, when they have stellar deals with three pizzas for less than 20 bucks and drinks for less than 10 bucks as the menu is normally on the steeper side, especially for the pizza. I ordered the Feelin' Peppi pizza, which is basically a pepperoni pizza and my friend had the Happy Gal pizza, which was a mushroom base with garlic and different cheeses. We each drank a glass of sangria, which was strong, which is how I like my booze! The pizzas take a bit to make since everything is freshly made - and is worth the wait. The crust is crispy but soft enough to sink your teeth into and the pizza has tons of flavor. It's easy to finish a pizza on your own because of how flavorful it is. Although the happy hour is a deal you cannot beat, all the other pizzas on their standard menu are worth checking out at full price, especially their weekend specials, like the NY style pizza and Detroit style. Both of these specific kinds of pizza sell out as people usually wait before the place opens, I kid you not. It's that popular here. Despite how popular it is, there is a parking lot besides the restaurant if street parking nearby cannot be found. It's also not too far of a walk from Redmond Town Center as it's near the transit center and is in the downtown core. Plus, dogs are welcomed on the patio, which is a win. Staff could not be friendlier. For pizza on the Eastside, Spark Pizza is the best.

Tutta Bella is the first pizzeria in the Pacific Northwest to be certified as true Neapolitan - with a softer center (not meant to be handheld cardboard-like NY style) and a chewier crust. Read "Our Story" on their website about their VPN Certification, the culinary discipline of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) - from the preparation of raw ingredients to the cooking method in an approved wood-fired oven. We had two pizzas this visit - the Leonardo and the Mediterranean. Both were satisfying - with a balanced amount of toppings and cheese, not greasy, not excessive. Good meal!

The Food: Italian Sausage hot oven grinder - 2 Stars Menu: spicy Italian sausage, marinara, green peppers & cheese Hubby had pizza in his mind when he choice this grinder, meaning the individual chunk (globs?) of sausage meat. The Italian sausage was literally a sausage sliced in half and placed in the sandwich. He said it tasted like a polish sausage with hot dog texture (yikes). It also has a pale red/pink color that resembles a hot dog (yikes again). The toasty bread that we saw in other Yelp photos was less so for both of our sandwiches. They were toasted but much softer/limp when we unwrapped our sandwiches. Vegetarian hot oven grinder - 4 Stars Menu: mayo, lettuce, cheese, onions, green peppers, black olives, tomatoes, mushrooms & seasoning I asked if there's a half cheese option. She said they can do light cheese. My grinder is well filled with all sorts of veggies with discernible cheese. It's fine by me really. I asked for no mayo, and I added my own hot sauce at home. It tasted quite good that way. The next time I take-out grinders again, I will bake them in the oven to brown the bread a bit. These sandwiches lost some texture on the way home. Note the website says $13.95 for all grinders. The Yelp online ordering says $16.95 instead. I didn't ask for a receipt, so I have no idea what the correct price is.

Service was good overall, especially considering how busy it was. Our server was attentive enough and kept things moving smoothly. We started with bread and butter--nothing particularly special, but still enjoyable. The garlic herb compound butter oddly felt nostalgic and reminded me of childhood. For appetizers, we got the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the seafood pasta in a wine cream sauce and really enjoyed it. There was a good amount of seafood--not super crab-heavy, but enough to get a few nice bites--and the sauce itself was light and well-balanced. My husband ordered the chicken parm, which he said was good but leaned a bit on the bland side. Overall, it feels like a solid neighborhood Italian spot. Definitely a place we'd come back to when we're in the area.
