A Seattle Sleeper That Deserves More Attention I absolutely loved the small, neighborhood vibe of Jackson Street Pizza Lounge. Tucked away in one of Seattle's neighborhoods, this unassuming spot is the kind of place you could miss, but you really shouldn't. We started with the Happy Hour Manhattan, and it did not disappoint. This was a genuinely well-made craft cocktail that hit all the right notes and was a perfect way to kick things off. Then came the hot wings, and I immediately appreciated that these were actual wings, not the tiny, cut-down versions you get at so many other places. They were meaty, crispy, and coated in a fantastic buffalo sauce with plenty of flavor and just the right amount of heat. But let's talk about the pizza. The pepperoni pizza is, without question, the best pizza I've had in Seattle so far. The sauce was the standout for me. Just the right amount, with a subtle kick that brought plenty of flavor. It had the thin, perfectly crisp crust, that I could very easily become a regular for. The service was great, too. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely nice, which only added to the laid-back neighborhood feel. Jackson Street Pizza Lounge feels like one of those Seattle sleepers that deserves way more attention than it gets. Great cocktails, legit wings, fantastic pizza, and a neighborhood atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I came for pizza. I left wondering why more people aren't talking about this place. read more

Delicious pizza! The combinations are unique, and the thin crust was perfectly cooked. It would have been nice for a larger serving of toppings along with some more evenly spread out. We went around 5pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy at all. There was fun music playing and the pizza didn't take too long to come out! read more

Eat here!! Finding food after 10 pm is difficult, we attempted the noodle place down the street but the kitchen was closed (bar is open late but hours didn't reflect that) they recommend pizza place or blue water something. We opted for pizza. We walked in and was told the kitchen was closing in 15 mins but go ahead and sit down. I usually experience servers who are not happy when someone like us walks in this late but she was very nice about it. We ordered 3 pizzas quickly. Pizza was out in about 10 mins. Pizza was GREAT!!!! Fresh parm on the side. We had the Carbonara, double pep and Italian sausage. Amazing. I will visit again! read more

I came to this cute little pizza spot for Seattle pizza week. Their featured pie had corn on it which I thought was a different twist that I had never tried before on pizza. The pies were on the smaller side but I still was able to share one between two people. I'd definitely come here again if I were in the area. read more

Yummy thin crust pizza! I wanted some slices to go, and they had cheese, pizza, and combo on the day that went. I got 2 combo slices to go and it was great! I'm looking forward to going again and trying more slices dine in. Definitely more of a place to come in and try as a group. Also, the person that helped me was nice and helped me as soon as I came in. Place was clean and welcoming as well. read more

Overall not a bad spot, we accidentally came during their trivia time on Tuesday an it was almost completely full by the time we left. We ended up playing and got a free beer but got a root beer instead. Service was pretty nice, I did go up the counter to ask the workers what the slice of the day was and she said she'd answer back at our booth which I found a little odd. Besides that everyone was nice. We just got one pizza which was perfect for 2 people. We bought thought the margherita was the better one and it was pretty good, wish it had more basil on it tho. The el pastor was fine, the meat on it said it was chorizo but I thought it tasted more like Chinese sausage and they were cut really thick so that was Interesting. I also thought the crust overall wasn't very good, tasted kinda flat. Overall not a bad pizza spot if you want a drink or wanna go to trivia, but I'd never come here just for the food specifically read more

3.5 Stars Thin crust, wood-fired style pizza. The pepperoni pizza ($25) is show-stopping with two different shapes of pepperonis including the little ones that curl up into little bowls of grease mmmmm! I am not sure whether I am just sensitive to pepperoni but it was so, so salty to me. The crust was nice and thin and crispy-burnt though. I would like to try some of the other creative sounding flavors (carbonara whaaat?) We also got the burrata ($17) and it was lovely. Fresh creamy burrata served with seasonal accompaniments (sour cherries and nuts in this case) and crunchy crostinis. Coolest Vibes inside! Dive bar-esque but not dirty like one. Staff was so nice and accommodating. read more

This was hands down the WORST pizza I have ever had. First, it was expensive as hell. Second, they were rather inflexible in allowing me to customize one of their "off the menu" pizzas. You can't drop one extra topping into it? No, they said. You need to do a build your own... and that would've increased the cost of our pizza by about another eight dollars. The red sauce is probably the culprit of why it didn't taste very good. It just doesn't taste like a piece of shit taste. Do not come here. read more

Pizza delivery was delayed by a third party and Donald, the owner, stepped up and made us a NEW pizza, then delivered it by hand, personally delivering it to our front door! This is world-class dedication and the highest customer service. FIVE STARS!! read more

If I rated on last night alone, I'd give 3.5 stars but I've had their pizza as takeout before and that rounded it up to a 4 star. We walked in last night and it was very smokey. Like your hair and coat will smell like smoke the next morning and smoke was visible in the air. That should've been a warning for things to come. It's a small space but cozy. They have booths and some tall tables, bar seating, and two tops along the bar area. They had Christmas movies on which was nice. It took a little while to get seated. They were busy with a party and it seemed to impact a lot. The staff were friendly and were clearly working hard trying to get everyone taken care of. We got beers and two pizzas. It took a long time to get our pizzas. I didn't time it, but was over 45 min from the time we sat to the time we got our food. We weren't in a rush so it was fine but then the pizzas both came out burnt. They were edible and we were pretty hungry at that point. So we ate most of them. We also didn't know how long it would take to get new ones. They weren't bad and given our experience with them in the past, I know the food is good. But even good food isn't great when burnt. We let the person who took our order know it was burnt. He said he'd let them know (maybe the person cooking the pizzas?). But I'm pretty sure the person who sent out the pizza knew they were burnt. Maybe we should've spoke up sooner and just asked for new pizzas. But I just wish they hadn't tried to pawn off burnt food to us. read more

Considering all pizza in Seattle is extremely overpriced, definitely some of the best pizza I've had on the west coast. Taste like a solid NY/NJ pizza. Am I happy I paid over 35$ on DoorDash for a small pepperoni pizza.... Haha absolutely no. Will I order it again? Absolutely yes! Moral of the story if you want cheap pizza order dominos, if you're looking for some nostalgic flavors and a solid crust this definitely gets as close as you can get. read more

Ok thin crust pizza. The chicory ceasar with bread crumbs used to be pretty good, but - this seems to be a theme with the woodfired thin crust places in the area - it seems they have removed the cheese, anchovies and olive oil. read more

We wanted to try Jackson Street Pizza Lounge's pizza after we enjoyed Central Pizza and found the Italian Sausage utterly lacking in sausage and flavor. It was really disappointing and extremely expensive for what you got. $35 bucks. Probably the worst pizza in our neighborhood we've ever had. Sorry, we wanted to like it, but, alas, didn't. read more

I've been here 1x so far - and so far so good! Nice thin crust pizza with gourmet toppings and rich flavors. We had chicory salad, and two pizzas - one mushroom and one Nduja. The salad was very good but I think it would have been even better with breadcrumbs / croutons for extra crunch. The mushroom pizza was my favorite - super garlicky, and lots of flavor - top shelf ingredients. The crust was near perfect in terms of flavor and texture (I think the only way I would have liked it even more is if the dough had been aged longer / had a sour taste and a bit more char from the oven - but again this is only personal preference). The Nduja was RICH almost like eating a very good Sunday gravy / meat sauce. I was glad to have the mushroom pizza to alternate slices with the Nduja else I think having only this pizza might have been a bit too heavy for me. We had some leftover slices which I had cold for breakfast the next day. Extra delicious. 9.0 / 10.0 - will be back to try all the other creations. read more

Not your average neighborhood pizza joint. Creative and very flavorful thin crust pizzas; we've tried three, and our favorite so far is the carbonara. The real standout is the cocktails, which would do a buzzy upscale restaurant proud. Aperitivo and digestivo-heavy, but well-balanced; so far we've sampled some of the sweeter and the more bitter ones, as well as one non-alcoholic (the Dumas), and every one was perfectly executed. They're also great at accommodating my partner's food allergies (soy and potato). That includes being honest when something is not made in-house and they don't know the ingredients; but also some pleasant surprises (e.g. their "XO" is actually a garlic sauce and doesn't have any soy). We've been in on Sundays and the vibe was chill and neighborhoody. The prices are higher than a typical neighborhood joint, but the quality is absolutely worth it. read more

This place is such a great hang out spot!!! The pizza Is super good so is the salad. There is also a great happy hour where you can pop in and grab a quick slice. There are also super events where KEXP people come and DJ read more

Wow, what an above & beyond experience at Jackson Street Pizza Lounge. The bar was filled with friendly faces, catchy music and scents of Italy. We were seated within 15 minutes but they took our drink orders while we swayed. Three of us split a pizza and two appetizers. The burrata is made in house and its milky texture pairs perfectly with buttery bites of Crostini. Ours sat on a vegetable medley with notes of truffle. The pizza is some of the best I've had in Seattle and the meatballs soft and juicy. The drinks were strong and the artwork only added to the energy in the lounge. We will be back and if we're lucky, regulars! Shout out to Archer & Donald for such great service! read more

The first time I came here about a month ago excellent service and excellent food. This is the 2nd time coming here.....pizza was ok, and the service was annoying. Pay $100 for pizza 2 cokes and 1 ranch please don't act like we are a burden. I'm in service and I know folks have a bad day. But damn leaving a tip tonight makes me UPSET. But since we are POC I will never allow others to create a stigma that we don't tip for service/poor service. We weren't happy with the top pizza. Total misunderstanding, if I were the manager I would have allowed the customer to re-order something else. Or give another option. I doubt I will come back. I'm sure our money will be appreciated elsewhere read more

We did take out from here last weekend. Seems like a very chill place inside - they had basketball on tv. They were a little slow to get my order from the kitchen but hopefully it would be a bit different dining in. Dogs seem welcome. Their gluten free carbonara pizza was very good, and the carbonara was particularly unique and yummy. The gluten free pizza is quite small, and you pay extra for it so that is a little frustrating but all in all, the pizza was good and I am thankful that they offer gluten free. read more

How are you charging so much for meatballs that are warmed up in the microwave? Informed the server that the meatballs were ice cold and her response was, "well, the bowl felt hot". If you're going to have staff microwave the food then at least teach them how to do it properly! Thanks for your reply, Donald! So helpful. Much wow! read more

Great thin crust pizza, nice cozy little pizza joint my wife and I like to go to when we are too lazy to cook.

I love to support local business, so it's sad to have to write this review. Ordered 2 pizzas online on Sat. night, for carryout. Website said it'd be ready in about half an hour, at 7:20. I (perhaps naively) took that at face value and showed up at that time. When I got there, to a crowded and extremely loud venue, I checked-in with a server (this process is not clearly defined by any kind of signage, I just kinda had to try and seek out someone to assist me) and they asked the kitchen about my order. The server came back, laughingly telling me it 'was gonna be a while', because of all the Doordash orders that had come in. What does that mean? Do Doordash orders get priority over regular online carryout orders? More likely, the ETA on the order website that told me when the pizza would be ready is just set to 1/2 hour from when the order is placed instead of taking into account how busy the restaurant is. If true, this would really be a bizarre choice. Anyway, the server wasn't joking. I was there at 7:20 (the order had been put in at 6:50), and I left with the 2 pizzas at 8:20. After standing and waiting for an hour. I got an apology, but no other comp for my trouble. I was offered water at one point. The pizza was hot and fresh when I got it home. Was it worth the wait? In a word: no. It was a fine pizza, but not even really worth a 30 min wait, much less a 90 min one. The pepperoni one was all right: sauce was ok, topping quantity/quality was fine, crust was. very thin and very dark (but not burnt) and as such already had a distinct bitter aftertaste, which drowned out any other subtle flavors. Overall, kind of a mottled, even incoherent, flavor package. We are unlikely to order here again. We will stick to the far superior Moto and other local pizza venues with better food who believe in taking care of their patrons. 2 Stars since the food wasn't terrible, but the service and logistics here seem to be lackluster at best. read more

SO happy these guys are in the neighborhood! Their food is delish and the vibe is the best. I haven't been a "regular" at a place in well over a decade but my boyfriend and I stop in here at least once a week for the tasty food & drinks AND the awesome staff. Sirin is an absolute gem, Colin and Donald are pretty fantastic and everyone else is top notch. They create the kind of atmosphere you want to come back to again and again. Love! read more

Love it all. This is a good vibe, neighborhood pizza place. The broccoli, Tomato Pie pizza, caponata, and mushroom stromboli are DELISH. I'll add the 5th star when a bit of soundproofing takes place. It's TOO LOUD. read more

I stopped in here about a week or more ago with my brother. We just wanted to hang out a bit and talk over a bite. You can't call it cheap. A very slim pepperoni pizza and a Coke came to 34 dollars, and the can (can!) of Coke alone was $4. My brother ordered no drink, which kept our tab from exceeding the $40 mark. The price wouldn't be a complaint if the food was worth the cost. My main complaint was the nothingness of the pizza. After my first slice, I actually pulled it apart to make sure there was cheese on the pizza. That's how little cheese they put on top. I thought they had made a mistake, but nope. I've been here several times before, but the quality has absolutely nosedived since the beginning of summer. If I had baked a pizza shell with a little sauce on top with some pepperoni it would have been a better meal at 1/6th the cost. read more

Our friend's band was performing here during the recent Jackson Street Jazz festival. We live far away but did make the journey to Seattle for the show and for the amazing pizza. Honestly, I am not sure we would have gone if it hadn't been for the music, but I am so glad we did. The cocktails were great. The pizza dough was perfect! The toppings were fresh and flavorful. The service was fast and friendly as well. It was a great experience, and we will definitely go back. read more

Do not buy this pizza. It's OKAY , definitely not worth $30. The bar looks nice though, might stop back for drinks some night.

Solid 3.5 star pizza but I'll round down since it took forever to get our drinks and food and the restaurant felt like a sauna since there is no AC. We got the chorizo/pineapple/hot honey, the Italian sausage/red onion/arugula pesto, and the pepperoni. Toppings were interesting and tasty but the dough/crust left much to be desired as it was way too dense and coated with semolina flour which left a grainy texture and got everywhere. Price point is also pretty high for pizza that is not that great. Some minor changes would go a long way. I'd suggest increasing hydration of the dough for a lighter, airy texture and using AP or bread flour on the peel and bottom of the dough after stretching instead of semolina. I would be down to come back as the vibes and drinks are good but I hope the pizza improves! read more

Great little neighborhood spot! We got the Al Pastor pizza which was super tasty. I don't typically like pineapple on pizza but they did a great job. Docking a star because the pizza is very pricey for what you get. I noticed they have a few happy hour specials so I'll definitely stop by for those in the future. read more

Just good pizza. Friendly staff. Nice interior. Easy street parking Will go back.

I've eaten here a few times and the pizza is always SO GOOD. Friends staff and quality ingredients

Unremarkable, bland, and incredibly overpriced dough. Stopped in for Seattle restaurant week and won't be back. I hate writing reviews like this. $65 for a pineapple juice, a bowl of broccoli, a floppy/ soggy pizza with no flavor and a tiny scoop of mango sorbet that was half ice crystals is egregious. read more

Happened upon this place as part of the Jazzfest music walk this weekend. We snagged the last table to listen to an amazing quartet as my son plays in his HS jazz band and wanted to hear some live jazz. It was just a lucky coincidence that they had to die for pies! We had the pepperoni and the AMAZING mushroom pies. We crushed both. Highly recommend if you like thin crust, light as a feather, slightly charred at the edges authentic pies. 10/10 will come back to try their other samplings. read more
