A $24 pizza for 1 or 2 people should be delicious. The Yukon gold pizza was not even good. The margarita pizza was ok but not great.

Great pizza and drinks, fun atmosphere in the Ballard beer district. It's fun to hit a brewery first, like Wheelie Pop or Stoup, then grab a pizza and non-traditional salad. I gave a 4/5 rating because the menu could use some attention, mix things up a bit. For example, the staple, pepperoni doesn't always have to be made with same pepperoni. And seriously, all that good beer within 1 mile and only 1 tap devoted to this cultural oddity is a mystery.

Overall I enjoyed the experience of this restaurant. I came around 4:30pm so kinda an early dinner. It was my first time here so I was a little slow at figuring out what to order. The employee ringing me up was agitated and dismissive but in his defense I was being kinda autistically weird looking at the menu and asking awkward questions. The other employee who was my server was very friendly and was very welcoming. I say in the patio area it has good vibes and they’re playing fun modern funky music. It was a perfect baby blue sky fall Seattle Sunday day. They weren’t too busy. The inside of the restaurant was very clean too. The food was quite pleasant. I over heard the server talking to another hipster customer about how all the ingredients are locally sourced. The preparations were nice. I felt full and not stuffed which is rare with most restaurants. The price was a bit higher than I would have liked to pay but overall fair since it’s kinda a fancy, healthy ingredient restaurant in the middle of a city in Biden 2024 economy. If you’re in the area come check it out.

Had a perfect Saturday afternoon here. Beautiful weather, soft breeze on the patio. A cold ipa, and a fantastic mushroom pizza (they don’t skimp on the olive oil!). Thank you Serious pie!

Good pizza, unique recipes! We enjoyed the spinach and moral pizza: thin crust with lots of flavor. Minor complaint is that it’s super greasy, but I guess it’s a pizza.

New (to me) location of the famous Seattle pizza place. Location in Ballard beer district is awesome - great staff, music playlist that could not be more to my liking if I put it together myself. Pizza is consistently fantastic ?

57 dollars for 2 personal pizzas is outrageous. If I made a pizza like this I would be quite happy with it, but I paid 57 dollars. My grandma is rolling, and I mean rolling in her grave knowing I paid 57 dollars for these. Did I mention i paid 57 dollars for two pies I could have eaten alone.

Wow the service here is impecable. Our server was attentive, inclusive, and knowledgeable. It's giving fine dining energy. Highly recommend doing drinks and cocktails on their patio. Great selection of local beers.

The food...maybe we were unlucky and it was their slow Tuesday. An off day perhaps. We had the fennel sausage pie. It could just be a different style and preparation of pizza that's new to us. Visually it was fine. Crust all throughout was unpleasantly dry, not the crispy finish you`d expect. It was confusing not getting a nice crisp clean bite, an unpleasantly spongy and rigid dough. Overall flavor was bland. Objectively, the texture and mouth-feel was inconsistent. To be fair, prepping pizza dough, getting the water and moisture just right, timing, and proofing is skilled work. For $24 of your hard earned money, you can tell which local pizzerias are serious about a consistent high quality product. You just know when they're about it.

Nice people and good location but the pizza is not great. Very salty and acidic, and quite small. Good crust though! Wanted to love it but I fear this isn’t it.

Love the indoor/outdoor space at Serious Pie, the amazing staff, and great quality pizza. The sides are not to be missed, either.

Vegetarian options: Potato, mushroom pizzas are vegetarian, as are many sides.

We got two salads and four pizzas and they were all scrumptious. The atmosphere was fun, and the service was friendly and quick.
