Walked in on Tuesday at 5:30pm and snagged the last free table! I saw a line form right after so I'd recommend you go near the opening time (if you're worried about the wait). Atmosphere was cozy and our server was very personable. Parking in the neighborhood can be a bit difficult to find but it's free in the area! Rigatoni ($24) Red Funghi ($26) - A great vegan option! I would get this again.

There is a good argument to be made that this is the best pizza in Seattle. I had takeout, which I usually do. The restaurant does not have a lot of seating and seems to be packed every time (they do not take reservations). It does not look like much, definitely just kind of a neighborhood place. When you are ordering, be aware it can take awhile, often an hour. The pizza is on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it. I ordered something called the Mothership. This comes with smoked scamorza, fennel sausage, and red onion. Needless to say it is outstanding. It starts with the absolutely perfect crust. It says it is naturally leavened. The key is that is it thin and crispy and cooked just right. The sauce is nice, but it was the combination of the cheese and fennel sausage that makes this phenomenal. It is just the ideal slice. They only have one size of pizza, 14" which should feed two people. It is definitely worth trying out.

Super good place! Went with a friend and split the bread, Margherita pizza, and cacio e pepe and everything was devine! We sat at the bar and it was a cute spot for a nice dinner. Very crowded but if there's a wait, it's worth the wait. It was fairly quick, and everything was amazing. The cacio e pepe was super great and creamy, and the crust on the pizza was superb. I can't recommend the bread enough, it was buttery and flaky and some of the best bread i've ever had. Super duper recommend coming here!!!

We arrived around 7:30 and were quoted a 45 min wait for 2 for first available. It ended up being closer to 30 min only and we went to a bar nearby to kill time until we got the text, which worked nicely. The pizza was really good and I'd say worth the wait. We were seated inside at the bar and the service was attentive and friendly. The music was kinda unique because it seemed like an EDM or house remix of 90s songs, which I was very into and the staff were dancing to, but did seem a bit different from what I'd expect. It was lively and very busy on a Friday and is a good spot for smaller groups or couples! You could probably split a pizza too depending on how hungry you are. Lots of vegetarian options. Also several sides and apps to choose from and a pretty full bar and drink menu. I'd definitely come again and it's the kind of place I'd go to for a date night or to bring family when they visit.

I've been wanting to try this pizza and pasta place and it exceeded my expectations. Now yes they are working in a small space but boy do they make good food. We sat at the bar and ordered the margarita pizza, hornet honey (which was delicious) and the fusilli snap pea pasta (to die for... so light fresh and unique!). Looking forward to next time!

Hostess completely forgot about our takeout order and had us wait an additional 30+mins outside on top of the 1.5hr wait. tried to hand us our cold pizza after asking us again what we were there for and refused to make us a new one. "Threw" it in the oven for 3 mins to get it lukewarm and tried to play it off saying it was fresh. Pizza quality overall suffered due to the mistake.

While I can appreciate a good "hole-in-the-wall" place as much as anyone else, this venue was a bit on the small side, resulting in a rather loud space that made it difficult-to-impossible to have a conversation with the person across from you. I suppose we could have been seated outside, but it was overcast and chilly. The pizza was okay; the "Mothership" pie we had ordered was definitely overcooked with blackened edges and bottom (I regret not saying anything at the moment); the other pizzas--a cheese, a pepperoni, and a sausage & pepperoni--seemed to fair better. The pasta was good, as were the Brussels sprouts (though slightly over-sauced). These observations regarding the food (and ambience) may seem harsh, but our portion of the bill (for 3 out of 8 people) came to $120! One would hope for a little more nuance and care in the cooking of the signature pie. Sadly, I cannot say that I would return unless I knew that things had changed.

Great pizza in a nice cozy area of cap hill! I appreciated how this spot is a little further from the busyness of Broadway, but don't mistake it for short waits! We waited an hour and a half after getting there at 6 pm on a Friday. The hornet honey was the favorite thing I had - it felt like a true elevated pizza. The pepperoni was solid with quality ingredients, but won't say it will stick in my mind. The warm chocolate cookie was the same way - delicious but not awe inspiring. Overall great choice for solid pizza in the area!

Definitely a great place to grab some great pizza in Seattle. They do not take reservations, so if you go on the weekend during peak dinner time you'll be waiting a bit. But I'm my opinion it was worth the wait. Small little place and not a lot of seating inside. We had a lovely outdoor table were right next to a propane heater. We got the classic pep, hornet honey, a bottle of pinot, and a warmed chocolate chip cookie. All were lovely. Would probably get the hornet honey without pineapple and extra hot honey though.

I would eat here again. You should check it out.Caesar, hornet honey pizza, rigatoni, and the Manhattan were highlights.There was an issue with the internet toward the end of our meal. They were communicative, set expectations, and delivered, perfect recovery. Not an issue for us.
I don't live in Seattle anymore, but I get FOMO when i think about Cornelly. In my top 3 pizza spots in Seattle. The doughy pizza crust is perfect. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and sitting outside sipping on wine on a hot pink sky Summers night is hard to beat. Pepperoni Pizza: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10

This place is THE best pizza in Seattle. And don't sleep on the pasta, it is incredible. Staff is great, ambience inside and outside is fun, and the wine and cocktail options are awesome. Loved the Negroni personally. Highly recommend!

Pizza is really good! Just plan to wait or call ahead - it's always busy which is awesome to see!

Great pizza! We got a side of the chili oil and extra sauce and I wanted to drink both haha! Delicious!

Cute, cozy, intimate with kind service and tasty dishes. This spot is SO good, especially for creative cocktails with savory Italian American dishes. There's a variety of unique pizzas that are customizable, easier to share amongst a group. Recommend the hot & honey pizza. My personal favorite are the pastas. You cannot go wrong with any choice as they're rich and creamy and hearty. Recommend doing family style dinner here. Con: doesn't take reservations and the wait can get up to several hours long depending on when you show up. It's a very small space. There's a pub next door though you can wait - outdoor seating in the summer time too. Also, can get kinda pricy.
