We saw Coltiva online before we headed to Seattle for the weekend to see a concert. The reviews looked great, and reminded us of an amazing place in San Diego we visited a few months ago. We made reservations for 7:00 PM, thinking a Sunday night may be busy. We also asked if we could be seated at one of the upstairs tables. When we arrived, we were greeted with a nice "hello" and a smile from a tall, dark-haired gentleman. We were the only customers and mentioned we had a reservation. We were seated upstairs, but quickly realized we preferred to be downstairs near the kitchen where things were happening. We moved down without any issue. We ordered and Old Fashioned and White Russian to drink, and ordered the pepperoni and burrata junior pizzas. The drinks were brought quickly and perfectly mixed, and the pizzas quickly followed. On the first bite you could taste the quality of the ingredients (I want some of their pepperoni for homemade pizzas!) and tell the bake was perfect. More and more people started arriving, all greeted kindly and seated quickly. As we finished our meal and paid, the waiter was sitting down chatting with a couple like he had know them for years, while keeping a watchful eye on everything that needed done for customers. If you want a great pizza and a drink with a great atmosphere, put this one your list! read more

I love my pizza from Coltiva! I came here for a group dinner on a weeknight and it was fairly busy. It looks small in the front but has a much bigger space when you go in the back. They have an authentic pizza oven so it gets a nice char on the crust. I thought the flavor of the dough was pretty good. I ordered the dishes and fennel pizza. I thought this was a nice combo and had a good amount of both sausage and fennel on top. The sauce was tasty too! The pizza was quite large so o would suggest sharing with 1-2 people. I also had some of the caprese salad and it was great! Had a nice pesto sauce and balsamic drizzle. I'd like to come back here to try some of their apps and drinks. read more

Pizza was pretty standard for Seattle but I think the prices were a bit high Our servers were great though! And the ambiance/patio is super cute I unfortunately thought my espresso martini tasted kind of watery. So would probably get a different drink next time read more

Coltiva Pizzeria e Barra - Burrata pizza - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

3.5 stars. It's pretty good, but proximity to Seattle center lends itself to some challenges. Be sure to make a reservation because it fills up fast especially on days there there are events, whether that be at the opera, Key arena, etc. I'm not entirely sure but it seems like they've recently expanded their dining room into the adjacent space. This is good because the original dining space was tiny. However, it didn't seem like they had quite staffed up to accommodate the larger capacity. Overall, this is probably the best pizza you can get in the Seattle center/Lower Queen Anne area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Really cute aesthetic and location for a pre game meal. Unfortunately the pizzas's lacked flavor - k needed a lot of red pepper to taste much of anything. The service was great, the patio was super cute - k just hope they dial in the sauce and flavors more! read more

We have been to Coltiva a few times, but the third time was the charm! Erin was the most amazing server, she was attentive and humorous at the same time, a hard hand to deal. The food is just as amazing too, we've tried multiple things and nothing is ever a miss. If you're in town, Coltiva is a must go! read more

There seems to be a high turn around at this little place, and I'm wondering if it's management or an owner issue? The little dude serving on 8/13, with glasses and dark hair, is no bueno. He was NOT nice at all, very rude and was no help at all when we asked questions. We asked to sub out sun-dried tomatoes for peppers. He said, "I don't know how to do that on my pos." So we said can you leave them off and put peppers on the side then, "no, I don't know how to adjust the price." You should probably get someone that knows how to work that and actually knows how to be a server. He rushed us, and was very pushy about us paying right away. The burrata jr was eh, and the other pizza we got was also eh. For $25+ a pizza and $18+ for crappy wine, your service and food better be top notch. Figure it out Coltiva. read more

Great Pizza, Rotten Hospitality 11/13/2025 Thu 7:15 PM Some restaurants reveal their true character not when they're slammed, but when they're empty and choices cost them nothing. Coltiva Pizzeria e Barra failed that test spectacularly. The setup is straightforward: five small tables for two and one claustrophobic round table crammed against the wall. I arrived to find two couples finishing their meals and three tables sitting empty. As a solo diner, I approached the bartender for a table. He directed me to the corner table. When I asked--politely, directly--to sit at one of the larger open tables instead, he refused outright. Not "let me check," not "give me a moment"--just no. Three empty tables within arm's reach, and his answer was still no. Hungry and pressed for time, I didn't have the luxury of walking out to find another restaurant. I sat down. Minutes later, both couples left. The entire restaurant emptied out. Five tables, zero diners, and I remained marooned at a table designed for drinks, not dinner. The bartender passed by twice, saw me cramped at that tiny table with every other seat in the restaurant vacant, and never once offered to move me. The indifference was deliberate. When my pizza finally arrived, reality became farce. The table was so small the pizza consumed every inch of surface. There was no room for a plate, no space to maneuver. Eating slice by slice--the way any reasonable person eats pizza--was physically impossible. Maddi, the waitress, immediately grasped the problem. She took one look at me struggling with this absurd setup and suggested I move to a larger table. She understood instantly what should have been obvious from the beginning. But here's the part that burned: moments after I relocated, a couple walked in. They were seated immediately at one of the empty tables. No cramped corner. No refusal. No struggle. Just normal, human hospitality--apparently reserved for everyone except solo diners. The pizza was genuinely delicious, which makes this whole debacle even more maddening. Excellent food shouldn't have to fight its way past hostile service to reach the table. An empty restaurant where the bartender refuses a simple, reasonable request serves only one purpose: reminding certain customers they don't matter as much as others. Seattle's dining scene doesn't lack options. It lacks tolerance for this kind of treatment. Coltiva can keep its corner table and its arbitrary rules. I'm done. Note: If 0 was available in rating, I would have given that. I found out later that the restaurant has another section with tables that was completely unoccupied read more

Very cute and quaint little pizza spot in Seattle! The food was so yummy, we got the vegetarian chorizo pizza and the Burrata pizza - both so delicious and a good different mix of flavors! The service was nice although that being said I do think the place could be a tad bigger and therefore more staff. It was decently crowded on a Wednesday night but the server didn't come back to give us water until we asked at the end. I also wish the prices were a tad less for the portions, but we did have some leftovers. We enjoyed! read more

Overall the place is really cute and quaint. The menu is quite small with mainly pizzas and so we ordered the butternut squash and the daily special which had pepperoni, sausage, garlic, and mushroom with a French 75 to go with it. The butternut squash was just kinda dry to us and the daily special was just not special, reminded me of a classic meat lovers pizza with mushrooms. Not much better than a pizza huts pizza in my opinion. The French 75 was ok. The service was very nice and friendly. They had sport games on the TVs which was fun. They have outdoor seating which might be a vibe if it was nice out and they had nice string lights. I think this place has potential to be a 4, it just wasn't today. I'd give it another try but try a Margherita instead, might be that we ordered wrong. Pro tip: don't order a French 75 here Butternut pizza: 5.5 Daily special: 4.5 French 75: 4 read more

The pizza was very good and I would definitely come back for it! The drinks were fine and fairly typical for an Italian spot, but I wished the had perhaps a bit more of a selection. Overall though I'd definitely recommend it. Our server was highly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She was very kind and helpful with getting us situated when the food came - the two person high tops are a bit small so we played some Tetris. The ambiance was really cute and intimate. Great for a date night or for time with friends or family. I can't really see groups of more than 4 getting seated though with the sizing. It started to get pretty busy about 30min to an hour after open so I'd recommend a reservation if you aren't coming earlier. I'd also probably sit at the bar or make a res for a table next time as it was a tight squeeze for the workers to get behind me to the storage area - they were always considerate and tried not to bump me but it was rough with the reality of the table placement and space available. We would definitely come back though for the pizza and maybe some apps. read more

this place is fine. what upsets me is that they advertise their hours wed-sat open till 11 pm. i went a few weeks ago around 10 and the doors were locked despite people inside. i knocked and the waiter waved me off and said were closed. okay fine... so today... i go to place an online order for pick up at 8:30 pm. again, it says they are open till 11 on a thursday. alas, they are not accepting online orders at this time. so i call... and my clock now says 8:33 pm. i ask, what time are you open till? the man says.. mmmm idk? maybe 9 pm? kitchen closing at 8:30? and i say.. sir it is 8:33. and he replies.. well then, the kitchen is closed. REAL COOL OF YALL TO HAVE INCORRECT HOURS AND SOME KIND YOLO SCHEDULE. please be edit your hours for accuracy. even if you wanna put like a we close when we feel like it, it'd respect you a bit more. anyway, pizza is fine. but i really just hate their dumb lack of consistent hours. read more

We got pizza to go-fennel sausage and mozzarella. The toppings were great! But the pizza was soft and floppy. Also got the salad special, which was huge and delicious! Arugula and a few blueberries, with a whole burrata on top! Really good! read more

This is a very small place so expect a long wait time if they are busy. The food was average but freshly prepared. We order pizza and drinks we had to wait thirty minutes to get our order. They have a small kitchen area and could be backed up early. The drinks were decent and not that great. We also ordered the tiramisu which was not the best I had. There are better pizza places around this area read more

Coltiva Pizzeria e Barra - Butternut Pizza and Deluxe Pizza to go - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love the pizzas and Caesar salad here, one of the tastiest in the area. Great location near Climate Pledge area but that can also cause a problem because of food shortage (the day of the Cure concert, low on beer and Caesar dressing-i even offered to pay for extra dressing but was told no) and limited staff. On game or concert days, the line is out the door, and expect service to be sup...p...p...er slow. We ordered the burrata and a pepperoni pizza that took about 40 mins, along with a 2 Caesars and didn't get our salads till after the pizza (a plate with lettuce, little grated cheese, croutons, and a side of their delicious dressing- that was disappointing). Service is good when you can get their attention and the drink menu and bar has improved over time. High turnover in staff, which could be a good thing. Previously there was a bartender who never wanted his hands after touching the phone, register, etc and would grab ice with his hands to make drinks. I couldn't pull myself to drink whatever he concocted for me, which was supposed to be an old fashion. read more

When Coltiva first opened, I took a date there, and six years later, we're still together. Located in Uptown, Coltiva filled a much-needed gap for quality pizza in the Seattle, even before the Climate Pledge Arena and Expedia popped up. The place has a unique California-inspired vibe--personable yet casually elegant, complete with a full bar. The original owner, who also helped start a successful brewery in California, spent months in Italy mastering high-temperature pizza making. He sourced authentic ingredients and invested in top-notch equipment to ensure perfect cooking. To elevate the experience, he brought in a top-of-the-line espresso machine for perfect coffee and carefully selected the best local wines. He was always experimenting with new cocktails and pizza combinations. But most importantly, he was very friendly and made rounds around each table to make sure everyone was having a good time and enjoyed the food. Although the pandemic led to a change in ownership, much of Coltiva's charm remains unchanged. The pizza is still fantastic, especially the ones with a burrata placed right in the middle of that 12" pie. We ordered the Margarita, and the Piccante/Hot Coppa pie, half cheese. The sauce wasn't too acidic, and the cheese stretches wonderfully, adding a unique flavor that stands out. The diverse combinations keep the menu exciting. Unfortunately, I didn't see coffee listed, but pizza and drinks are enough anyway. Coltiva is a bit off the beaten path, but the food and drinks are definitely worth the trip. However, like any place, there are always areas for improvement. On a recent visit, our young server was energetic and made some good suggestions, but she seemed overwhelmed by a large party inside. She was doing her best but appeared a bit rushed and didn't have extensive menu knowledge. This might be more on management to address. Additionally, while taking pictures for my review, I sensed some fish-hook looks from the bartender. There's no need to get upset when people take pictures--it usually means they like the place or they do social media. A welcoming attitude always goes a long way. Overall, Coltiva remains a great spot with delicious pizza and a generally welcoming atmosphere. Just in case it's the small space gets too busy, have a backup spot ready in Uptown. Or, consider ordering to-go and eat it in Myrtle Park. read more

This place seems to be pretty lowkey as it wasn't too busy when we came for dinner on a Friday night. It was walking distance from our hotel so we figured we'd save ourselves a Lyft to Pike/Belltown since Coltiva seemed promising. The drink menu is a bit underwhelming for me as there were only very basic options but nonetheless the drinks were still good. We ordered their Brussel Sprouts and Burrata Pizza with sausage which were both delicious and big enough for my friend and I to have leftovers at the end. I love the way they cook the brussel sprouts, it was glazed very well! The pizza is delicious with added sausage, I love the little clumps of burrata was in almost every other bite. The dough is tasty and it was overall a good pizza, especially with red chili flakes and Parmesan added on top. We would definitely come back to avoid lines at other pizza places since we were seated immediately with no reservation. The customer service here is very attentive and we had a great experience trying Coltiva! read more

Delicious pizza & good cocktails. We've gone twice now before a Kraken game but early enough to beat the crowd. Does get very busy on game days so plan accordingly, smaller restaurant with limited tables inside. Excited to try the patio in warmer months. If you do go on Kraken games there is just 1 guy taking orders & making drinks, so be patient or aware of longer wait times. read more

The pizza here is really good, that's why we've come back several times. The first time we tried to dine in, we were told they were too busy to seat anyone, so we ended up ordering takeout instead. Since then, we've only done takeout, but every time we walk in, we're still immediately told they're too busy to seat anyone before we even say we're just picking up. It feels very unwelcoming and off-putting. A simple greeting asking if we're dining in or picking up would make a big difference. read more

First visit back to Coltiva since Covid -- and was surprised to see they'd changed a bit (but tbh, who hasn't?!) Gone is their extensive natural wine list, but restaurant manager / server Garrett was happy to let us sample some of the wines and beers by the glass. (Pro tip: he's a heavy pour -- and owns it. ;-)) Garrett won us over with his charm and humor; seriously, it's so lovely just to interact with someone who loves their job (thank you, Garrett!) As three hungry folks, we tried a bunch of dishes: the brussels sprouts and flatbread appetizers, and the burrata jr. and kale / butternut squash pizzas. The brussels sprouts come out in a little cast iron skillet and were hot and delicious; the flatbread was good, but not memorable. Pizza-wise: we loooooooved the burrata jr. pizza. It's basically a margherita pizza with a giant burrata on top. The kale / butternut squash was less of a hit; the butternut squash is a puree that's spread out over the crust, not chunks. The pizza also comes with a giant burrata on top (this is great for dipping your crust, btw!) We added some salt and fresh parm to it, which helped, but we all agreed we just loved the red pizza more. I'm so glad to see this little neighborhood gem has survived the pandemic, and we'll definitely be back soon. I think next time we might try the goat cheese pizza. Nom nom. read more

I stumbled upon this wonderful spot hungry and thirsty. Small cozy and smelling great I ordered a Sazerac and a pizza. Service food and drink was excellent and the mood was happy.

I emailed and got an immediate response and Patrick was kind enough to deliver it to my workplace mid day! Go eat here all the time! read more

This place was a DELIGHT. The first thing we noticed upon checking in to Coltiva was how friendly the service was. Like "when you're here, you're family" level friendly. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but when we arrived at 5 for dinner on a Friday there were still a handful of seating options both inside and out of the restaurant. We ordered a refreshing Limoncello Spritz and Paper Planet cocktail as we waited for our pizza order. Both were wonderful! Our Burrata Jr. pizza was delivered to our table with heaping pile of burrata in the center and was so good we made the painful decision to stop grabbing extra slices once we were full. The Delux pizza (w/pepp on half, your girl is vegetarian) wasn't the ugly step sister of the night, and also tantalized our taste buds with its dried tomatoes and goat cheese. Coltiva was by far the most satisfying pizza we've had in a while and we are definitely coming back soon for more of that beautiful burrata. - The Pizza Queen of Seattle read more

Super cute little place with nice outdoor seating and a couple of smaller tables inside. The service was ultra slow, they are way understaffed. We went on a concert evening and came early enough where only 3 tables were taken, but it took 20min to place our drink order and another 10 to get the food order in. I can't blame the server, he was the only one working all the tables. He was seating parties, buzzing, taking orders, serving... He clearly was overwhelmed with the situation and it got only worse when more people arrived. The pizza menu is small and simple, but probably a good idea to keep things moving. The pizza itself was great, delicious crust, nice toppings. We got out there in time, but I'd say it was a good 2h+ in total so plan accordingly. read more

Cute little place! They have limited seating but it's so cozy and aesthetic inside. They have bar with a nice wine list. I believe their margarita pizza is about $18 and it has about 8 slices.

We were in town for the Joe Bonamassa concert Feb 16, 2025 at the arena and made a reservation for dinner before the show. We enjoyed our delicious dinner of a sausage and funghi pizza and the special salad featuring strawberries. The service was great and we enjoyed chatting with the owner. Highly recommend! read more

Came here to meet a friend for drinks and an early dinner. It was hot out so I ordered a limoncello spritz ($9 if I'm not mistaken) while I waited. It was just what I wanted; nice and refreshing without being too sweet. The drinks menu is on the limited side, but everything on there looked solid to me. Also, the limoncello is made in house! No wonder it tasted extra fresh and not artificial. When my friend arrived, we ordered a Burrata Jr. pizza to share and a side of the Brussels sprouts with bacon for her, a Caesar salad for me. We both loved the pizza and the burrata was extra luscious...the sauce also tasted nice and tangy, just how I like it. Our sides were tasty as well and definitely enough to share. Service was attentive and friendly. Only downside is it's a bit pricey, but I guess you're paying for quality ingredients. Would absolutely return to this cute neighborhood spot! read more

I really want to love this place but I can't get past the inconsistent hours. Multiple times now, I've tried visiting during hours they state they're open and they're not. Most recently, I tried going in to order takeout at 8:45pm and was informed that the oven was off already when their website and all internet sources state they're open until 10pm. I wrote off the first few occurrences as one-offs but at this point, it's a pattern. I'd suggest calling ahead to confirm they're open before making a special trip to this spot. The pizza is pretty solid-- for 6 slices it could be considered a bit on the pricier side, but it makes sense for the area and the ingredients are high quality. The outdoor seating on a nice day is perfect for a date or chatting with a friend, indoor seating is cozy and intimate, and service is always friendly, even if occasionally slow. My favorite menu items are the Pepperoni Americano (I love the cupping pepperoni), Piccante Numero Due (spicy and delicious, sometimes a little soggy from the toppings but that doesn't bother me), and the Brussel Sprouts are a must! If you're in the area and have some time on your hands, try it out but I'd recommend you have a backup plan just in case. read more

Two amazingly delicious pizzas, accompanied by a wonderful bottle of wine (Brought myself, small corkage fee), good service, and nice ambience The Delux pizza is the best in my opinion! Though I brought my own bottle of wine on this occasion, their wine list is really quite nice and they have some nice craft cocktails, and the tiramisu is a delicious dessert! I've been here five or six times since they've opened a few years ago and I've always had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

I've been to Coltiva a few times now and have always had a great experience. Their Caesar Salad is amazing - a must order ($10)! I've tried the burrata pizza, fennel and sausage pizza, and the butternut squash pizza. All are good but my favorite is the burrata pizza ($20). I've also tried their tiramisu, which is not really good to be honest, so I don't recommend unless you like a very strong cream cheese flavored tiramisu. Everything else is delicious and service is great! Highly recommend! read more

My favorite weekday happy hour spot! I only wish the place was a tad bigger as it's not good for large groups. Great prices, great people (seriously, meet the owners), and fantastic food! Everything is so fresh and delicious. The kale and burrata pizza is to die for. There's seriously something mystifying that makes me salivate every time I think about it. Not only that, but the Margherita pizza is one of the best around. Margherita pizzas are usually so basic, but they've really elevated this to another level. My only complaint is that they need to step up their cocktail game. Pro tip: don't order a French 75 here. read more
