    Fresh on our Detroit-style pizza binge, our first since moving away from Detroit, we chose Sunny Hill for our next stop. We walked in right after they opened for a Saturday lunch and were the second group seated. Crunchy Cauliflower ($18) - Amazingly robustly crunchy breading surrounding a tender roasted cauliflower inner core. It's so evenly breaded and adheres so well to the moist interior that it almost seems like a commercially breaded frozen cauliflower. But these have to be homemade, right? They are sprinkled with a chili crisp-esque aleppo oil, which is dry rather than oily, and has a bit of sweetness to complement the heat. It's all on top of a super creamy and thick cashew and cilantro sauce. It's fresh and nutty, and really delicious. (5/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Loyal w/ Pepperoni, 4-Square ($31) - Before I get started, I have to say that the pricing for the 4-Sq vs 8-Sq is bizarre. In no world should an 8-Sq pepperoni pizza be $56. Not to mention it's actually MORE expensive than the 4-Sq on a $ per square inch basis! And you get 4 less corners? People pay a premium at Jet's for their 8 corner pizza! I'm sorry, for a value proposition, this pizza gets a big fat zero. Usually Detroit-style take a while come out, typically 20+ minutes, often over 30 minutes. This one took less than 15, which I found very curious. Surprisingly, the pizza actually comes cut into four slices instead of six, unlike pretty much everywhere else on the West Coast. It looks picture perfect, with the two saucy racing stripes across the top and a superior lacy frico crust along all edges. It's seriously a sight to behold, one of the more perfect Detroit-style pizzas I've seen in a long time. It's after lifting a slice up that things start to unravel, at from a traditional technical perspective. Instead of baking the toppings on raw dough, Sunny Hill seems to either par or fully bake the crust before adding toppings, then bake again. This means the crust doesn't fully meld with the toppings, resulting in a crumb that's extremely airy and light and a taste that's somewhat disparate rather than harmonious. It's more akin to focaccia with toppings rather than pizza. And yet this allows the base to be fully fried on all sides, lending a superior buttery browned flavor. Unfortunately this method of assembly causes an issue - the frico literally slides off the bread. Even before picking up a slice, I could see it separating from the dough and melted cheese bleeding through. The top is a little more forgiving, so the melted mozzarella and brick cheese mixture does manage to mostly adhere. Speaking of the brick cheese, it really does make a huge difference in flavor. This blend is miles better in flavor complexity and fattiness as compared to most Detroit-style places around here that use pure mozzarella or a blend without brick cheese. The sauce is very good as well. It's balanced between sweetness and acidity, spiced just enough to add flavor but still keep the fresh zing of a great tomato sauce. On top of the sauce, the pepperoni is charred and cupped. It seems to be carefully applied so there aren't too many overlapping pieces. This ensures the pizza doesn't become too salty, which is really appreciated. Value-wise this pizza is terrible. $31 is the most I have ever paid for a 4-sq pizza. Heck, it's more than I've paid for many 8-sq pizzas. Luckily for Sunny Hill, I don't usually include value in my ratings, but I was seriously considering dropping the score here. (5/5) I think with this pizza, traditionalists will cry afoul. People who are more open minded will accept that this is a delicious pizza regardless of all the flaws. I'm in the latter group, although with a caveat: What Sunny Hill serves is emphatically not Detroit-style; It's a great Detroit-style-Inspired focaccia with toppings. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms.

    Lord General Square Pie
    Tai N.

    As a fan of Detroit-style pizza, Sunny Hill has been on my list for a while. Then I stumbled across an article stating that Sunny Hill has one of top burgers in Seattle, so I had to go check it out. This place was fairly busy upon arrival. Someone came up to us immediately and politely asked us to wait a few minutes for them to set up the table for us. As we were waiting, someone else showed up to take our drink orders. As soon as she took our order, our table was ready. Very systematic and phenomenal service! This is within the first 5 min of being there! The building seemed a bit old and there was a rustic vibe to it. It's not very big and a bit intimate. I wouldn't say it's really designed for groups bigger than 4. Our food came out at a reasonable time after ordering. We had ordered the Arcade square pie with mushrooms, the Lord General square pie, and a Sunny Smash Burger with cheese. Hot honey on the side. Arcade - wanted to keep it somewhat simple with this one so I can get a general understanding of their pizzas. It was loaded with toppings. A bit too much, but I believe it's because of the added mushrooms. The dough was slightly too chewy. I tried it with and without hot honey. I preferred it without. The pizza had too much going on. The flavors were there, but it was a bit heavy. Lord General - this pizza was much better. The flavors were more balanced. It was lighter on the toppings, making it easier to eat with the dough. The sausage and soppressata were a very good combo. They compliment each other very well. Sunny Smash Burger - this burger was very solid. Although it's a smash burger, it's pretty big. The toppings were simple and delicious. The onions was definitely the star of the show. It was heavy on the pickles. A bit too much for my liking, but would be great for pickle lovers. This is great alternative for people who don't want a pizza. Overall it was a great first experience. My only regret is not getting a round pizza to taste the crust. The groups around us all had round pizza and it looked amazing. I'll have to try it next time.

    I stopped by Sunny Hill for a late lunch. They open at 4pm on weekdays and 12pm on weekends, making it a great spot for a weekend lunch. Service was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and inviting with plenty of natural light. They serve both round and Detroit-style square pies. I ordered the Loyal square pie (4 slices) with castelvetrano olives and mushroom. I liked the sauce and the crust, but I personally would've preferred a bit more sauce and olives on my pie. There are plenty of pizzas and toppings to choose from, and it's also possible to customize the order. The chocolate chip cookie, while a little pricey, was excellent and very tasty.

    Lord General Round Pie
    Allie L.

    My review is for takeaway. I finished a walk around Green Lake and thought I definitely earned a pizza! I heard Sunny Hill had one of the best Detroit style pizza and round pizzas in Ballard. I placed an online order for their Lord General round pie. By the time I arrived at Sunny Hill pizza, my pie was ready! It was a Thursday night around 7:30pm and there were a few people in the restaurant. The server greeted me warmly and handed me my pie. It smelled really good! By the time I got home, the pizza was still warm. The sausage olive thin crust pizza was delicious. They added just the right amount of toppings so you can taste each flavor. The crust had nice coloring and it was crisp. Everyone has different preferences for their crusts and I like mine crisp vs chewy. I would go back and dine in to try their other pies.

    With a dash of hot honey on their pizza, and it was a perfect mix of crispy, sweet and savory. Their dessert was a sweet tiramisu like cookie which is always worth sharing with the table

    Great little food stop. Friendly and quick service with street side seating, indoor seating and a rear heated seating area. We tried their square pizza and waffle fries. Both were great and loved their garlic ranch sauce and hot honey. Will definitely be back.

    Sunny Hill has an inviting, neighborhood feel. It's in North Ballard by Golden Gardens so could be a good hang out or date spot. If you can, snag a table by the window. It's ideal for people-watching and soaking up the afternoon light! A random touch, their glass cups are adorably shaped and perfect for drinks. What We Ordered: Gem Lettuces ($18): The bonito lime Caesar dressing added a unique twist, and the furikake sprinkled on top gave it an umami kick. The romaine was fresh and crisp. 4/5. Really Good Burrata ($18): Kind of not good. The burrata wasn't quite there and the rhubarb yuzu kosho accompaniment didn't elevate the flavor as hoped. But honestly, for this dish, maybe it's just me and I can't appreciate the yuzu kosho! 2/5. Roasted Asparagus ($18): This dish had a lot going on, but in a good way, and the accompanying flavors complemented it well. 4/5. Death by Misadventure Square Pie ($30): The pizza was tasty but portion size was basically for a single person. It's a lovely spot to catch up with friends over a drink and a bite, but it may not be the best value. It feels very Seattle food scene in that way-- iykyk

    Arcade pizza, half eaten
    Dewayne P.

    I got the arcade pizza to go and ate it while walking around in the area. I should have taken a picture from the outset but I couldn't because I scarfed half of it down too quickly. It was incredibly good. My wife actually thought it was so so but I told her she needs to rewire her brain. I think it's because she's trying to lose weight so she doesn't like thick pizza. But for me this was heaven. The pepperoni was perfectly crusted. I believe that's the mallard effect or something other. I also liked how it had both sauce and tomatoes, so it tasted extra juicy. And what's good about this is that there's no crust with no toppings on it, this is good all the way around. I also saw the chef taking a baked chicken quarter out of the oven and throwing it over some greens. And a few other people sitting down got some meatballs that looked good. I need to come back here and try it off. The ambiance is pretty upscale but comfortable.

    Saw the sunset at Golden Gardens and the smell of delicious pulled us here!

    I would highly recommend stopping here after visiting Golden gardens Beach. The staff was very attentive. The pizza was seasoned well, thick crust, and tasted amazing!

    Pretty good lime times two! Weird glass but we're not here for that. Come for the limes, stay for the pizza!

    Psycho stick pizza
    Andrew H.

    One of my favorite pizzas in the area. The crust was crispy yet still fluffy. Definitely recommend adding hot honey to pair with the pizza. The burrata appetizer was just as good as the pizza to me. The bread was flavorful (I think they add like fried or dried garlic?) and nice texture to go with the burrata. It is a bit pricey and the space is a bit cramped, but I would definitely come back to try more.

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD DETROIT STYLE PIZZA IN YOUR AREA, STOP READING THIS AND NAVIGATE TO SUNNY HILL. We tried the smash burger and the cheese pizza here. As you can probably tell we were big fans of the pizza. Initially we had doubts that it could warrant the price in comparison to something like Jets Pizza, but after trying it we think it definitely does (or at least comes close). The pizza was not super greasy and the dough was so good. They don't try anything weird with the sauce it's just plain good sauce. The burger on the other hand was a bit dissapointing. It was really greasy and honestly it wasn't anything super special. The pizza was clearly the highlight. The service was great, nothing negative that stood out. We came a little before 5pm on Saturday and had no issue getting a table, but we did notice it started to get busy after 5. When we came there was also plenty of street parking. There is outdoor seating and a balcony out back.

    We went on a Saturday at 4 pm and it wasn't too busy, so we got seated right away. They have plenty of seating to choose from - indoor, outdoor and backyard. Both outdoor spaces have heated lamps. They started getting busy around 5pm. We got our food pretty quickly and service was great. We ordered the burger with fries and the loyal Detroit style pizza. Let's start with the burger. It was pretty average. I liked the caramelized onions which added a nice sweetness to it. The party itself was a bit too salty for me. The fries were sooo good. You could tell they were made fresh and didn't taste processed or weren't super oily at all. Perfectly salted too! The pizza was one of the best I've had in Seattle. The crust and dough were good to perfection - beautifully crispy yet soft and chewy. The sauce was sweet and flavorful as well. Would definitely one back here for the pizza!

    Had the Arcade and crunchy cauliflower.

    I've been a regular at Ananas for about a year, and reading some of the recent reviews honestly…read moresurprised me. Karin has taken care of us countless times, whether it's a quiet Monday or an absolutely packed one due to the events at the town hall across the street, and they have always been warm, patient, and accommodating. I actually celebrated my birthday here because it's one of my favorite spots. I am part of the large group that one of the recent negative reviews is referring to. It happened immediately after the USA FIFA match, and the restaurant was the busiest I've ever seen it. Despite that, Karin still went out of their way to accommodate our requests that normally wouldn't be possible due to the rush, including trying to help with separate tabs when they'd already explained that large groups would likely need to stay on one check. As for things like grabbing water, silverware, plates, or chili flakes...our table had already gotten those before a majority of the group arrived. It's a casual pizzeria, on one of their busiest days ever. Setting and cleaning up the table (especially when seated outside) is not a problem for our group as we do it every week. Which is why it's upsetting that we opened our spot to someone that left such a nasty review. What stood out to me wasn't poor service. It's that despite how overwhelming it must have been to work post-FIFA, Karin was able to take orders, bartend, serve food, and close out checks with professionalism. Sometimes no matter how much effort someone puts in, not everyone leaves happy. The pizza is fantastic! I love showing up every week and trying what new slice they have come up with (in the year that I've been coming here there legit hasn't been a repeat). The atmosphere is great and the staff, especially Karin, have earned our loyalty over the past year. We'll absolutely continue coming back.

We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

A lot of places are closed already but this reliable pizza place was open. SWEET!! I walked in and lady working the counter was super nice and helpful. I got a slice of Italian supreme, which has everything. Now looking back though I wish I had gotten one of their Turkish dishes as I would have liked to try their lahmacun and read another Yelpers review and this place is supposed to have the best Turkish lahmacun in the US. Oh well, I guess I will be back! The woman heated up my slice and after a few minutes, it was ready. I took my slice and went to sit outside near Pioneer Square so I could be outside and people watch. Pizza was tasty and solid, but the crust was too dry. I have a feeling the slice wasnt the most fresh, so thats why the crust was a bit dry. But, if you know me, I do jot like soggy pizza (I mean - who does??), so a bit drier isn't too big an issue. The rest of the slice was good. Slice of pizza and a diet coke came to close to $9. Gosh things are so expensive now. They do have a special of 2 slices for $8.99 but I couldnt eat two slices. Id definitely come back here again when back in this area. Thanks for feeding me and if you need a late night spot, this is your place!

Bartender...not so much…read more We came here semi-regularly for the past two years, typically bringing in a handful of people with us, because the ambiance is wonderful (chill space, beautiful decor, warm lighting with a romantic feel to it). Unfortunately, the experience is consistently dampened by one of weekend bartenders. As others have mentioned, it's that taller bartender (Alex?) who repeatedly comes across as arrogant and dismissive to us; a less than desirable character trait for a bartender. It's such a pity because that is the sole reason we now lead our groups to spend their money and patronize other establishments instead. Recently we did give Diller another try, but sadly it's the same story and thus this feedback. Hospitality makes a HUGE difference. Bartending isn't just about making a good drink and expecting tips. As someone who tended bar all over Seattle for 23 years, I know how much energy and attitude shape a guest's night. When the service feels cold and passive-aggressively rude, it's hard to feel good about the experience. It's disappointing, because this place has so much potential. Hopefully management considers bringing in weekend staff whose personalities reflect the warmth and atmosphere the space deserves, there are plenty of more qualified bartenders in Seattle that would gladly fill their spot.
