The Ballroom now serving Talarico's Pizza

This place has fallen from grace. Friday night. 7pm. 15 patrons total. 20 minute wait to order drinks as a table of 4. Told by the bartender we could not order from the bar because we had been seated at a table. 4 years ago when this was still ballroom it was always packed, the staff were always great. Now it is like someone wants to run it into the ground. Stay clear.

I love Talarico’s in West Seattle and was thrilled when it opened in Fremont. Have been a few times, all with great service. Went last Sunday and encountered a very grumpy staff member/bartender, maybe the same one others have mentioned. Multiple interactions made it obvious he wish I hadn’t come in. Maybe he was having a bad day, but I wish he hadn’t taken it out on me. I quickly left after getting my single slice to go, not wanting to even bother asking for a napkin. Still love their pizza, but won’t plan on staying or ordering if I encounter him again.

Awesome, friendly staff. We go often for trivia and they always make us feel welcome. Large slice pizza, usually good but occasionally less good. The inconsistency, and the fact that there was a stray slice of sausage on my veggie pizza, costs them a star, but the bar staff are all wonderful!

We just popped in on a whim, and I’m so stoked that we did. The food and ambiance were both great, but the service was the standout. Shea was our server, probably the sweetest, the best server I’ve ever had—friendly, open, funny, and then so supportive when our child got upset during dinner. She made sure he felt no shame for crying, and she empathized with him without being condescending. She made him laugh through his tears. Only a savvy, experienced, and kind server treats teens with respect like Shea did. When you go there, I hope that you have the delight of being in her section. Tip her generously, and enjoy the amazing food.

Great pizza! Super fun environment and the pizza is tasty. But oh my god, the drinks are terrible. Get drunk/drinks before you come here. The nightclub aspect of it is super nice and so is the pool. If you want a palatable drink, go elsewhere

The bouncers and bussers? bartenders? are really sleazy and were calling everyone b*tches and being super disrespectful and rude. They were saying gross stuff to me like “bro are you going home with her” (talking to each other) and were saying gross stuff to my boyfriend like “your girl has more balls than you”. The two guys circled in my photo were the ones saying this while other bartenders were trying to get them to stop.

Bomb slices! A foldable slice of pizza that is bigger than your head! Don't even get me started on how big a full pizza is, it's GINORMOUS! Come here just for the NY style individualized slices they are so delicious. Great atmosphere clean and booths/ pool table nice bar. Great area of town and good parking!

This place was cool we set outside and it was raining! The was heaters over all the out side tables and a fire place super cool and the food was so good!!

Don't go here after 9 if you want to eat. I drove with 5 other family members at 11pm (a 45 minute drive) from Woods Creek to get pizzas, only to be told quite rudely by somebody basically guarding the door "we don't take pizza orders here after 930". This is in direct conflict with their "late night dinner" menu which EXPLICITLY STATES "THURS, FRI, SAT. AFTER 9PM" and has a full pizza menu listed. i guess they don't like money. Ruined my fkn birthday. Thanks a lot, a-holes.

I got a cocktail to go and when I tried to pierce it with the straw (on the third try) it broke the cup :( maybe get the bubble tea straws so it can pierce the plastic better? Didn't think a regular straw wouldn't pierce it normally, but it would be easier if I knew to slice it like with a knife if bubble tea straws aren't feasible also. Totes not your guys' fault I didn't think it thru, just wanted to give the feedback! Thank you for being awesome!

After reading several reviews I no longer surprised by my recent encounter with incredibly rude bartender. There seems to be strong pattern of offensive and disrespectful employees at this place. I walked in around 10pm to find no one at the bar. I sat for about 10 minutes before someone came from back. There was no one there, so I assumed they were just taking care of something. They said, "ID and Vax!" no please, no hello. I showed my id and vax and they suspiciously looked me over. I've never been greeted with such suspicion and indifferent from a bartender in Seattle before. They then TOSSED my ID and vax card back at me. I was RIGHT THERE, why not HAND it back to me? After getting my order, the bartender disappeared again for my entire meal. No conversation, no checking up on me. When I finally saw them again I grab the check as quickly as I could and left. I felt so unwelcome at this place. Just wow.

There's plenty of room to dance, shoot pool, eat pizza slices bigger than your face! There is an outdoor area and multiple booths inside. Staff is super cool and quick with their service. Music and lights are slammin" on DJ nights.

Edit: in response to the owner’s comment (changed from 1 to 2 stars). The pizza is good, no complaints. The original one star was for the rude bartenders

The pizza was amazing - the Mac smelled and tasted just like the McD version but better! It was awesome to be able to find “calmer” and heated seating outside, even with the inside area totally hyped up. The to-go window is a great option, too. Definitely saw and affirm why these folks are so highly rated!

Overall I like this place. Spacious indoors with a dance floor, the fire pit on patio is awesome, and the massive slices of pizza are descent tasting when sober, and tastey when drunk. However, the price to play pool is expensive. They have a minimum order limit I think of $35 with a couple hrs of pool, if I remember correctly. I just wanted to play 1 game a have a beer, but They’re a business with their own rules for making a profit, So I still rated them well for their other attributes.
