Very tasty pizza. Nice atmosphere. Reccomend turning the thermostat up a couple degrees. Had to leave our coats on during our meal.

Lame. Drove all the way from Kirkland only to find out I Couldn’t even order a pizza the way I wanted it. No build your own pizza. No substitutions. Lame.
Staff was nice but no help. :-(

Look, we are locals and we know our food. I want to give Local 104 5 stars, I really do, but they never roll out any type of new specials and as a local who wants to come here more often, I find myself repeatedly BORED out of my mind with their options. There are only so many times you can order the same pizza. I would describe their food as "fine" and the staff is friendly, but they need far more variety in options/seasonal changes. I much prefer Guest House over in Bothell which seems to execute this much better, changing items weekly and offering seasonal produce, new pizza options that are actually well refined and tasty, and just an overall better experience. A+ to the drinks menu/options here, which is really all I come for anymore since I'm so tired of eating the same thing. We would come all the time with an improvement here but it just feels lackluster and has moved way down our list.

Staff is always friendly and the food is always perfect. Tonight I ordered mussels and the flavor was exceptional (I had no shame in spooning the broth into my mouth as if it were soup) but the presentation with the bread over the top… chefs kiss.

The food was good, but we waited around 40 minutes for the pizza.

Food was good but pricey. Bill came out to over $70 for two pizzas and two drinks. Loved that they offer patio and indoor dining options. Service after taking the order was non-existent. If the price wasn't as steep would have rated higher.

I have been to The Local 104 a handful of times and have always had a good experience. They have great pizza and a good tap list. The Burrata is amazing! Only downside is parking can be a little hard to find. I will definitely be back!

Upscale gem of a neighborhood restaurant. The Local 104 is hitting all angles: indoor and outdoor seating (back patio is dog-friendly), great cocktails and wine, a long line of taps pouring great micro and craft beers, delicious and artful pizzas, fresh, crisp salads, and signature dishes like mussels under a crispy dome of pizza dough that impress me every time I come

Parking: Only a do?en parking spots in the lot but there's parking on nearby streets in the neighborhood.

Wheelchair accessibility: Highly accessible. From the parking lot a gentle slope leads up to the front door, and the entire restaurant is on the street level.

Have dined here a few times and each visit has been delicious. Their specialty pizzas are definitely a step up from the Seattle pizza chains and their sides and apps are unique and exciting. The service is very welcoming and polite. It may be a bit pricey, but the trip is well worth it. Highly recommend.
