This has been on my list for a long time. A visit down to the waterfront made this a great time to try. It lives up to the hype! I had the vegetarian sandwich and it was perfection. So delicious and full of flavor. The pizza slices are also really good. I don't think you can go wrong here. Grab your food and go sit on the Harbor Steps. It's a great area with plenty of places to hang out and eat. The staff working were very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. read more

Pizza is tasty, oily, and extremely crunchy. There's absolutely zero flop, so if you're looking for a little softness in your dough, this place isn't for you. I've honestly never had such a crunchy pizza before and I'm not entirely sure if I prefer that or not, but the fact is that it does taste good. Flavor is there. I really enjoyed their tuna hoagie. However, the last few times I've visited [in the morning], they didn't have any. Hard to really say when they ever have it and when they don't. Seems like a toss up on any given day. I do have to comment on the service. It's pretty terrible. One day, I came by as soon as they opened to make sure I was the first to grab some hoagies bc I know they can sell out quick, and I ordered 6. They made the transaction, I waited about 15 minutes, and randomly the guy tells me they can't make it. No explanation, no apologies for the wait- nada. I was pretty annoyed since I don't live in Seattle and drove in just for that. Regardless, I would still come again bc I do enjoy it. Just wish they cared more about their patrons. read more

No frills pizza window for tasty pizza (and hoagies which I haven't tried). They have the classic cheese and pepperonis and daily rotating meat and veggie options. Order in the small shop then wait for your slice outside. No seating but you can use the countertop table they've set up on the outside. Their pizza sizes are on the thinner side and very crispy. Simple, but I do like the flavors they put together for their rotating menu. read more

Post Alley Pizza - Daily meat and daily veggie - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came to try their Italian hoagie, and it was definitely packed with flavor! I personally sometimes am afraid of ordering a whole Italian hoagie because it tends to get heavy easily with all the meats. This one though had a good amount of slaw in the middle with a nice acidic kick to balance out the meat and cheese. Definitely recommend getting the Italian jazz sauce that adds a spicy kick and additional flavor as well. We chose to skip the mayo. I will say that the bread though is quite hard and can be a bit of a jaw workout. Staff is really nice, service is quick and there's 2 bar stools with some counter space inside if you get lucky. Otherwise there's outdoor counter space as well and they're really close to the water if you wanted to walk over there to eat. read more

10/10! The pizza was absolutely phenomenal and the servers were amazing! It was the end of the day and they were closing up shop and I told them it was my birthday so they gave me and my friend our slices for free. Absolutely will be coming back anytime. I visit Seattle. 10/10 slices. read more

Tasty pizza downtown - simple slices made well, pies to go. Rotating selection of slices features cheese, pepperoni, a daily meat slice and a daily veg slice - both of which feature inventive, tasty combos. Don't sleep on the Italian hoagie. Located downtown, within walking distance of Pike Place Market. Cozy cafe with counter service - best for ordering to go. read more

Post Alley Pizza is a pizzeria a couple blocks from Pike Place Market in Seattle. It's a popular restaurant for serving New York-style pizza and sandwiches. Although it's mainly a pizza spot, I heard of this place because of their sandwiches. I ordered the Italian hoagie ($16) which included a variety of meats, provolone cheese, and other veggies. I added the hoagie jazz on top ($1.75) which is their housemade spread with calabrian chili, anchovy, roasted garlic, and hot honey. The sandwich was good and had a good amount of spice from the hoagie jazz. The bread was crunchy on the exterior but hard to chew through. The bread also had a lot of sesame seeds throughout which you could taste after every bite. There are only a couple seats inside and standing room outside. Note that they close at 6pm daily so you'll have to stop by earlier in the day since they don't open late. read more

Great place. Great pizza. No space. No care. 85 more characters to go. Still characters.

How come I've been in the Seattle area for 22+ years and never tried Post Alley Pizza? What a fool! I think you might call it NY style pizza, even though it's less floppy than a traditional NY slice. I got a cheese and a daily meat, both outstanding. The crust is crispy with zero flop and an awesome charred undercarriage. The ratio of sauce, cheese, toppings, crust is just right. Not greasy at all. Super satisfying to eat. Service is super fast, the place is super small with just a couple of stools and a small counter to eat on the fly, and longer counters outside. On a Dave Portnoy scale I'd give it a legit 7.8. WTF 22 years without this pizza!!! I'm an idiot... read more

Cool hole in the wall spot close to the waterfront/downtown. I met a friend here with the goal of getting am Italian sandwich (after seeing constant videos on my IG algorithm about it). Post Alley Pizza's pizza needs to introduction and I was excited to try the sandwich. I believe I paid about $21 after tax & tip for the Italian sandwich with jazz sauce (their quintessential sandwich spread made with Calabrian Chilis, Anchovy, Castelvetrano Olives, Pickled Red Onion, Roasted Garlic & Hot Honey). First thing I noticed was how small the sandwich actually is - 6"! The sandwich itself was excellent - good flavor with the jazz sauce and the in-house bread held everything together well. Would I go here again? Sure! Would I make this a weekly addition to my rotation downtown? Probably not due to the price. I do think it's worth trying at least once. read more

Post Alley Pizza - The Italian Hoagie - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Post Alley Pizza is hands down my favorite spot in the city to indulge in a slice of pizza (or several slices of pizza, lol!!!). Pepperoni is my go-to because it is a classic and I love how the edges of the pepperoni curls up and gets crispy. However, I don't believe you can go wrong with any of their selections. Plus, they have a special I've tried recently with Garlic Oil that is THE BOMB!!! The location is cool, somewhat hidden, and feels a bit mysterious and definitely old-school hip-- If you're walking from Pike Place Market, walk through the Gum Wall area towards the Post Alley neon arch. You'll pass a stunning and huge mural and the Harbor Steps. Post Alley Pizza has been here for many years and is a Seattle institution. Expect long lines, but their pizza is so worth the wait, especially if you are a fan of perfectly crunchy crust. My mouth is watering as I type... Nom nom nom :-) read more

Finally I found Post Alley Pizza! By the time I arrived the sandwiches were already gone. So I ordered a slice of pizza. Friendly service and jovial vibes. Apparently they sell out fast of Sammie's, the pizza slice was a slice they reheated, I believe. It had pepperoni, olives and yellow peppers. You can have it to go on a paper plate or to go box. I had it in a paper plate. It was served piping hot! I was able to walk towards pike place market, find a chair next o what used to be locust cider, another story, and enjoy a hot slice. Excellent crust, thin and crispy and delicious! I need to comeback for a sandwich!!! And the price. Around $7.00. For a tasty foldable crust. Do it! Eat good food and enjoy your life! SYOY! read more

I don't make it out in this area very often, so when we had a Seattle waterfront day, we were so excited to try this place! It did NOT disappoint! The pizzas were good and had some yummy toppings and the crust had a great crunch to it. We also got the Italian Hoagie and wow, it had such bold flavors! It was filled with a good amount of meat and fresh ingredients, however, the bread of kind of hard. It had a tough texture to it, which took away from the goodness inside the sandwich. All in all, great place for a slice of pizza and great tasting hoagies. It's a small place with maybe room for a few people to sit in the corner. It's pretty busy but you get your food quickly and they're super friendly. You can take your food out to the pier for a nice waterfront picnic! read more

Finally tried one of Post Alley's sandwiches yesterday. The Tomato Sando $16 added the bacon for additional $3 was a wonderful BLT version summer lunch had half yesterday and half today. I had heard great things about them and it was a great days to try one with fresh tomatoes. Believe it is sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Bacon added just the right amount of salt and smokiness. Would definitely get it again of it pops up on the menu in the future. Service is always friendly, orders are taken quickly and you stand outside till they call your name depending on the time of day the line can be longer. Sandwiches are made to order so wait is a tiny bit longer but not too bad. Small space most people get slices to go or eat outside. When I get slices I usually get it on a plate cause I work close but of you get it in a box there is a small fee. Parmesan and chili flakes available at window tow sprinkle on when you pick up your order. I suggest studying the menu while you're waiting and be prepared to order so you aren't holding everyone else up. Consistency good neighborhood spot! read more

Post Alley Pizza - Tomato Sando with $3 for added bacon - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We got there near closing so they only had pepperoni or cheese pizza slices left. They usually also have their daily meat and daily veg. Cheese slice is $5, the others are $5.50 I found it a little too salty and charred BUT I also don't really prefer pepperoni pizza so take this with a grain of salt (pun intended). This slice was definitely on the thin crispy side. The charring is prominent throughout, perhaps slightly too prominent in some areas where it masks the flavor of the pizza. I do like their overall texture of the pizza though, I wish I could try their margherita flavor as a slice! As that's my favorite flavor and would be a fair testament to their pizza! You order inside around the corner closer to the stairs and pick up your order outside around the other corner. Order and go style, no indoor or outdoor seating. read more

Post Alley Pizza is a great Seattle staple whether you're eating pizza before a baseball/football game, or if you're at work and needing a mid-day pick me up. There's usually some sort of line at lunch time, but it's pretty quick! They have great specials and I totally recommend picking up a basic slice and a special slice. This place isn't too expensive and has a great slice of pizza! I got the pepperoni and it had such a good ratio of pepperonis and you can add hot honey if you'd like to! read more

On a recent Monday I got two hours sleep then flew to Seattle before the sun rose. Once I landed, I walked around Pike street, the market, and journeyed down the infamous Post Alley. It was a cold and rainy November morning in Seattle, so we stepped into Post Alley Pizza, on a corner down post alley, for a slice to power through our morning. I had the slice of the day which was a vegetable supreme. The crust was perfect and the flavor was delicious. There's a small counter with two stools inside and we grabbed them. They also have a walk up window for those needing a quick pizza fix. This pizza reminds me of what I ate on Phish tour in the late 90s. Delicious and funky with real creativity. Come to think of it, the pizza chef & owner looked like a grown up version of a pizza slinger from Phish tour. I bought a side of Calabrian chili sauce and gotta tell you, that made me so happy. Stop by and get yourself a slice! read more

Pizza & Italian Hoagie sandwich's ohhhh my! Post Alley Pizza is a Seattle hidden gem for a meal on the gritty streets of Seattle. Located in a alley way a few blocks south of the Public Market. This up and coming restaurant takes gastronomy to a whole new stratosphere. Time after time I'm drawn to the Italian Hoagie with light chicory. Chicory tends to be a tad strong so a little goes a long way. Hey it's my sandwich so bugger off. Ok, when eating this you need some extra napkins due to oozing juices dripping with each savory bit of your sandwich. Every mouthful explodes with flavors including the bread itself. I'm not sure if the bread is flown in daily from the east coast but this is the best sandwich bread I've ever eaten on the west coast... THE BREAD MAKES THIS SANDWICH !!!! Even layers of meat , cheese & veggies distributed through the sandwich so each bite is well balanced for taste. I had Tim's Chips & COKE and I'm all set. Now seating is limited so if I'm blessed to get a set in the window great or I'm stuck outside eating my meal. Inside is tiny so décor is pizza boxes and refrigerator and giant menu board. The food does all the talkin so who cares what it looks like. Staff is great. Orders are always prefect and within 5 minutes your food is ready... OK, your wondering why hasn't FRANK mentioned the pizza, well I haven't ordered slice cause my addiction is the sandwich. They need a BETTY FORD CLINIC for the sandwich ! But I will try a slice soon. Well, grab something and support this local business! read more

Finally decided to use Pi Day as my excuse to trek into downtown Seattle and try Post Alley Pizza after reading so much about it. I decided on a piece of pepperoni and black olive, and the hoagie special of the day (chopped cheese). First thing I noticed was the crust on the pizza, and the roll for the hoagie, were epic. It seems like a minor thing, but minor things make all the difference if you want to be rave worthy. The pizza sauce had a nice zest to it, and the hoagie had peppers, so plenty of tastebud tantalizing going on here. All of the ingredients were top tier, really almost perfectly executed on both items. I'll be back, and it won't be long. read more

a seattle staple! it's a star amongst tourists, local office workers and everyone in between. it's a very small restaurant - 3 seats inside and it can get very hot. takeout is key here, but note, you can only do group orders online. i usually get their pizza but opted for an italian hoagie after seeing a tik tok for it. it was phenomenal. great dressing, delightful and squishy bread and the pickled onions added such a lovely texture to it. some ppl think the bread to meat ratio is off, but given their bread is homemade and this is a hefty sandwich as is, i was perfectly pleased. always a bit of a line and wait, but so worth it each time and they are very efficient. great friday lunch meal because otherwise may fall into a food coma in the middle of a workday. will take pics of the pizza next time. read more

Post Alley Pizza - Italian Hoagie - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A little pizza place right off the waterfront and a quick lunch. It's a super thin crust and the sauce is good. The pepperoni was decent, but the veggie was disappointing. Basically a thin crust with some sad basil leaves and salty capers on top. I would call it diet veggie. To get a free box to go, be sure to order four slices. Less than four slices and the box will cost you a $1. Haven't had the hoagies, but they looked good from other customers. read more

We ordered a pie and sandwich to go, and was really impressed. Pizza - we ordered pepperoni with hot honey, and you can tell this pizza is really well done with great ingredients. I loved the crispy pepperoni, and the dough and crust is fluffy and has an amazing chew. 9/10 Italian sandwich - it was good, with really good ingredients especially the bread, but the combination of everything together for some reason just wasn't amazing to us. 7/10 I'd definitely come back for the pizza, and will order a few pies for a future gathering or party. read more

I've eaten here many times and tried the cheese, pepperoni, and vegetarian options. The pizza is good and the sauce is robust. The pies are always fresh and the location is a little hole in the wall where the bathroom is next to tomato cans and the bussing station. I love these types of joints. The ambiance reminds me of hot mamas pizza but filled with tourists and some locals. Service is ok, I wouldn't rate this place high on staff going above and beyond. For a quick Seattle take out spot, this provides a glimpse of old the Seattle vibe. read more

This is the rare slice shop outside of New York that would actually hold up in New York. The slices are crispy, charred, and full of flavor.

Heard a lot of great things and I've been missing pizzas from NYC so gave this place a try. Service was fast and it's a tiny shop so not really a place to eat. We got the cheese pizza and #7. The cheese pizza was a bit disappointing because it lacked a lot of cheese although the crust was pretty thin and crispy. Number 7 was pretty tasty, but has a lot of bold and strong flavors - definitely unique. Overall, the crust was pretty good but hard to say it's one of the best pizzas. read more

Yes, I'm a bit late to the pizza and hoagie party, but better late than never. Post Alley Pizza was a long time bookmark, but compelling IG posts from Zoe Kahn and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt convinced me to give a whirl (10/18/24). The usual Friday early afternoon traffic was avoided via an alternate route, but it took awhile to locate street parking being adjacent to both the waterfront and Pike Place Market. I eventually found a spot on Madison between 1st and Western ($4.50 for 45 minutes, as an fyi). Post Alley Pizza is at the corner of Post Alley and Seneca, between 1st Avenue and Western. Tiny spot, barely any room to place an order. There's a two person stand up area by the menu board or two seats at the counter facing Post Alley. Friendly counter staff to place the order with. Efficient kitchen crew in such tight quarters. There's hoagies, salads, and of course, pizza by the slice or large 18-inch diameter pies for takeout. I ordered an Italian Hoagie ($19) - stuffed full of Italian meats, cheese, vegies in sesame seeded hoagie sliced and wrapped tightly. I received this in short time while waiting with others at the sidewalk counter. I also ordered a whole 18 inch #7 ($31) featuring pepperoni cups, ricotta, garlic atop their signature tomato sauce, cheeses, and thin crust. I saw it come out of the oven, slid from the peel to the takeout box, drizzled with hot honey, and sliced. Containers of parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes were also placed strategically in the box. Omg such a beautiful sight, I photographed it at the counter and again once placed on the passenger seat. I had noticed though once in my car that my hoagie was sogging through its wrapper and onto the pizza box. I moved to another parking spot, threw on my car flashers, took a photo of the impressive hoagie halves, and propped one half upright in the cup holder. The other half I went to town. Messy af, but armed with napkins in my car. Passersby at the intersection and sidewalk were witnessing culinary bliss. Absolutely delicious, especially while ravenous coming up on 2pm. If the hoagie hadn't leaked, I probably would have stuffed a ginormous fresh, hot slice in my face while still parked. Long drive on side streets from downtown to Shoreline. Yes, my one slice at home was no longer piping hot, but still tasted amazing with a cold Pepsi. The Homie gobbled up 4 large slices, one after another. I better put my remaining 3 slices on lockdown, lol. That spontaneous pizza and hoagie cost me with tax and tip under $63, plus $4.50 street parking....however, so worth it and made up for lost time. read more

Order inside! Wow, eating a fresh slice from post Alley was amazing. Crispy crust, tasty toppings, solid red sauce. They make a whole pie in about 15min and heat up a slice in a couple of minutes. Calling in to order is not the way to go, no one answered for multiple tries. Just walk in, order, and wait! Prices on GrubHub were more expensive than in store, so decided to just go in vs order online. #7: pep is great, ricotta is delicious, garlic is tasty, and hot honey gives a good sweetness but is not very spicy. Overall a delicious pie! Their daily meat has pineapple, pep, and pickled jalapeno with red sauce and this was SO good!! read more

One of the best slices I've had in this town. Great texture, great char. It's somewhere near the category of NY style, but without the flop. Inconveniently located unless you're already downtown or doing the tourist thing on the waterfront. Be prepared for stairs if you've never used the Symphony light rail station and if you're coming from that direction. If you just hit the gym in the a.m. and/or you have bad knees...it's gonna suck. I figured this out myself. Still, no regrets. It was worth the expedition to seek out this slice. My only regret, is not getting an italian hoagie to-go for later. I might have make more excuses to be in the area. read more

Really really good New York style pizza. The first time I had it (a month ago, perhaps) was during that stretch of beautiful, sunny days, and I remember standing outside the establishment at the corner of the street with my face toward the sun as I took massive, luxuriant bites out of my slice of pepperoni, ricotta, hot honey, and garlic pizza (ask to "make it a 7"). It was everything my soul and stomach needed in that moment. The combination of the vitamin D, greasy pizza, quality ingredients, and indulgent gulps of root beer truly sent me to another dimension of bliss. I would've given this place 5 stars but I came a second time maybe two weeks ago with a girlfriend and that same slice of pizza just didn't hit the same. I think it may have been a bit too overcooked--borderline burnt? And the person at the register was not pleasant. Snarky even. For no reason. So quality/taste/service isn't always consistent, but I'd definitely say this place is very much worth your time to visit and try. read more

Finally got to give this place a try after hearing about it for years. The line was pretty short on a Saturday afternoon and we waited less than 10 min for food at the window. The pizza slice was fantastic, better crust than I've had in a lot of NYC places. The Italian hoagie is the thing we've heard so much about, the bread really lived up to the hype, crusty and crunchy. There were abundant meat and cheese filling and the jazz sauce really added a kick although it made the whole thing a little salty for me. $18 for a hoagie before the sauce is more than I would go back for, but it was a unique thing to try. read more

We picked this up to take back to our hotel after a long day. Customer service was fine, even though they did forget about us while we were standing in the restaurant. Not a huge deal though it was still warm when we got back to the room and definitely enjoyed it. It tastes how it looks, seasoned, cheesy and greasy. It is located in an alley (aptly named) so if it looks like a random spot for a restaurant you're still in the right place. We'd probably go back, maybe just double check sooner if it's been a minute and they're not busy. read more
