They have 5 vegan pizza options which all looked great. We got the Plant one and the Shroom one (lunch-sized) which was plenty to split with two people. The sauce was super flavorful and the toppings seemed thoughtfully chosen. It’s true there’s no indoor seating but the outdoor seating is wonderful. Overall, it’s a lovely place to have lunch.

The pizza is extraordinary. But they are constantly behind / swap peoples pizzas to catch up. Expect them to give you a pick up time and take 30-45 minutes longer.

Saw and heard the hype but Moto did not deliver like we expected. Mid at best but gotta admit the Insta publicity is what drew us in. Good job. I heard somewhere that Seattle has the best pizza in the nation but I wholeheartedly disagree. For Seattle, Moto fits squarely in the mid-tier. Plus it was way overpriced for what it is. We had the crab topping and pepperonni ones. Except for the crab, the consistency and flavors reminded me of Little Caesars, sorry. Catchy packaging was part of the experience so props to the graphic designer for upscaling the expectation. Staff seemed nice too.

Came back to the famous West Seattle location now that the wait time is no longer months on end. Was able to order a dinner pie online and pick it up 1 hour 15 min later. 🍕 are decent, bit underwhelming given all the hype. Crust is delicious, a necessity for a solid Detroit style pizza. The more exotic pizzas can be fun, but the seafood options can make them a bit salty.

This place is awesome. It's pizza is not your regular old pizza. Amazing

The pizza is good, but it's a total ripoff. Nowhere on the menu does it mention that their "shareable" pizzas are NOT full-size pizzas. They're 4 slices each, whereas a standard Detroit-style pizza is 8 slices. Of course, they still charge you the price of a full pizza. I was very disappointed when I ordered 3 pizzas ahead for a party and was given half of what I expected. Moto, either call out very explicitly how big these pizzas are, or do the right thing and just sell normal-sized pizzas.

Was really looking forward to getting an order from here given it had been so hard to get before, but they only gave our delivery person half of the pizzas we ordered for a group dinner. I trust the dasher more than the restaurant considering how bad they felt and their communication with DoorDash. Not going back to Moto on principle alone. If you don’t have enough time or ingredients Moto, then figure out how to notify customers of that. OR… get your orders even 75% right maybe? ;) What we did get was just okay. Not worth it.

They don't have pizza by the slice. Best they can do is a "personal pizza". It's like they don't know West Seattle at all.
I feel like they should start selling by the slice or close permanently. We ain't got time for this nonsense.
There are plenty of other places well within walking distance that have pizza by the slice.
You are hard to locate. (Set back from the street) and your dining room looks like an OSHA violation.
You can't afford NOT to sell by the slice.
But rn, I'm headed to pegliacci

Fun fact! Detroit-style pizza is rectangular bc the restaurant that created it used pans from a local automotive supplier that were designed to contain drips or small parts. MOTO claims multiple influences, which is why they call it “odd pizza.” I’m a repeat customer. The Plant is my fave bc it’s basically health food, amiright? Fr tho, the garlic sauce slaps. The Kissd is 2nd on my list. I dunno what their vegan meat source is, but I believe the mozz is Good Planet + the hot honey is Mellody. The owner is a super nice guy, brilliant at branding + marketing. I predict this chain is gonna blow tf up, like 100 locations in 5 years. Don’t wait.

Only can rate the food, pizza is decent. One star for not allowing personal pizza for the entire day. Don't need to waste food at dinner time.

Terrible service at this location. Literally the most rude people I've ever talk to. Expects tip for takeout. Do not come.

Fun and delicious pizza. Had been hearing people hype it up for a while. Was definitely solid. A little on the salty and oily side but worth a short.

This is a great small pizza place in West Seattle. This pizza isn't your traditional New York style more like a deep dish pizza. We ordered the root and krab.

The krab was really good and the favorite between the two. It had a lot of cheese and a good amount of real krab meat on it. Crunchy but soft crust. I would recommend this one over the root.

The root is a mushroom, olive, and balsamic vinegar pizza. This was good but nothing over the top. A little too much tomato for me compared to cheese. It didn't taste like pizza to me. Not bad, but not what I hoped for.

The ice cream was surprisingly good. Got banana and pistachio twist. For $4 they give you around 2 big scoops, definitely worth the price.

Overall good pizza at a fair price with unique flavors. Some are better than others. Will revisit again.

Vegetarian options: They have multiple vegan options.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan pizzas.

Parking: Mostly street parking and paid parking lots. There is a qfc you could shop at to get parking as well.

Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating, so great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Have to go up a short flight of stairs to get to the eating area.
