Serious Pie is the best and we were glad to discover this location. Stopped in for lunch on a Friday and they have happy hour from 12-5 then, with $8 individual pies! We had the special, with artichokes, and the sausage. Yummy!! Also kale salad, which we love. This time it surprisingly needed salt, but was good. read more

We were excited to check out this Serious Pie location in Ballard during a recent holiday shopping expedition, but honestly we were a little disappointed. While other Serious Pie locations tend to be semi-upscale-yet-casual pizza joints, this spot felt more like an afterthought with its small, dark space and decidedly hole-in-the-wall vibe. The good news is, the pizza was still delish, as it always is at Serious Pie. We enjoyed the sweet sausage pizza that has become a fave over the years, along with a couple of beers which were served in plastic pint "glasses". Okay, I'm sure this makes me sound like a beer snob, but plastic?! Good beer just doesn't taste good in plastic. (Unless you're at a frat party?) Our server (who, by the way, was excellent) later told us he'd accidentally used the wrong glasses for the beer; so apparently it's something they're fixing. Yay! It was also darn cold inside. We had to keep our coats on the entire time. A door between the restaurant area and the semi-open entrance to what appears to be their central storage area would most likely help. Again, this all probably seems a bit petty. I'll own that. But as someone who loves Tom Douglas and his restaurants, and has had great experiences at other Serious Pie locations, this one was a disappointment. Especially since they're charging the same (some might say elevated) prices as they do at the other locations. Maybe if they called it something else, to differentiate it? Serious Pie Lite? Semi-Serious Pie? I dunno, but I expected just a little bit better from this iconic local brand. read more

Possibly the BEST pizza I've ever had in my life! The crust is thin and crispy and the toppings are loaded perfectly so you get the best flavors. I want a slice just thinking about it! They have great Happy Hour prices. Staff are friendly and the food comes out fast! read more

I haven't had a lot of good pizza in the Seattle area so the other day I stopped by Serious Pie on a Thursday evening. It was a great day outside, we had a dog with us, and so we opted to sit on the patio. There were not a ton of people out there, maybe one other group, and the area was super spacious. A lot of the pizza flavors are really intriguing. The clam Pizza immediately caught my eye but of course they were out. But it was national cheese pizza day so we ordered one of their cheese pizzas (selecting 3 types of cheese) and one of their potato pizza. Both were delicious. They had a really crust and all the toppings were generous and flavorful! The employees here especially went above and beyond. They brought the dog water, and were really generous about treats (asking first of course). Definitely a nice chill place to get a pizza! read more

Went here for dinner after spending some time across the street in at great notion and overall had a great experience! A friend and I split the two specials for this month which were both Nduja Bella (a thinly sliced sausage). One was sweeter with baked apricots and had an amazing flavor to it combined with the pesto and burrata. The other had yakima corn and was more of a neutral taste. The ambiance was nice as we sat outside in the corner 6 table as the sun was setting and felt like a perfect summer day. One standout was our waitress, she was extremely attentive and went into great detail talking about each of the different pizza options. We also really enjoyed getting to know her! read more

I start out every review like this, but I think it speaks to why my ratings in Seattle are so low: I lived in NYC for well over a decade and I try to think of all the pizza in Seattle as flatbread so I'm not disappointed. And Serious Pie had some seriously good flatbread (I got the pear gorgonzola). I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but here's what made the experience amazing: the staff. I stopped in while walking my dog on a hot day. They brought him his own water bowl, a treat, and gave him a bandana. And then our server took a bit of time to chat with me, which rarely happens in Seattle. I'd consider this a good stop while brewery hopping, or a solid recommendation if you're looking for a shaded open-air porch with a panting dog. read more

Came with a group a few nights ago. The restaurant is in the middle of a bunch of funky stores, warehouses and beer breweries. Serious Pie is serious about making good pies. Every one of them were cooked perfectly with thin crispy crusts. Toppings were yummy and just enough of them. The potato one seem to be a tiny bit heavy with rosemary, but otherwise great. Kind of a spendy splurge, but as a splurge, worth it. Sorry no photos, we dug in and they all got disappeared pretty quickly. read more

We tried their new brunch menu. I think this might have been a thing before the pandemic but they just recently brought back biscuit-focused brunch items. The service was really friendly and quick. The biscuits were great and the prices were pretty fair for Seattle. My only recommended change would be to offer a Tabasco free gravy option or make the current gravy slightly less spicy. The gravy was really good and creamy but it's VERY spicy. I hope they keep their brunch menu because Seattle is largely lacking on brunch options, especially around the breweries. read more

Amazing pizza. Great service. We went twice during our visit to Seattle. Their pizza seasoning is the bomb. I had to buy some to take home . read more

Small outdoor dining space with tons of unique pizza, sammies and salads. Got the Pork Shoulder sammie that came with some local crisps I hadnt had. It was a fair portion for the price and the peppers (I think) were the real shining flavor. Simple cuisine with no indoor space (at least when I was there) in a lil industrial neighborhood. read more

Serious Pie is seriously delicious! I met up with a group of friends for dinner and we ordered a bunch of pizzas and salad to share. We ordered at the counter and utilized their large outdoor picnic tables to eat at. During a Seattle summer, the weather was perfect! Everything we ordered was extremely delicious! I really liked the mixed green salad and the variety of pizza topping combinations. read more

The location downtown was my favorite pizza in the city growing up. My family and I would share a margarita pizza- eating the warm pie together on rainy days remains some of my favorite memories in Seattle. After moving back to the area as an adult, i wanted to try it again to see if it lived up to what I remember it being. I visited the Ballard location last weekend with my partner and it did NOT disappoint. The staff is so kind and helpful, and the vibe is great with the Viking details and outdoor eating area. We got the potato rosemary pizza and it was perfect!! The potatoes were sliced thin and they did not skimp on the herbs. The crust is the best part. We also got the beet salad and the kale Caesar salad. read more

Super delicious! After a Saturday exploring Ballard, this really hit the spot. The pies have tons of seasonal and unique flavors, but definitely run on the small side and are a bit pricey. It's a sit-down spot and the waiters were friendly and helpful, but it was definitely pretty busy. It's a nice cozy ambiance, and they have seating that can easily fit bigger groups. read more

A no-frills pizza spot nestled into the heart of Ballard, right next to all of the breweries. My friends and I were at Obec Brewing and got a pie to-go to snack on while we were there... and this just might be some of my favorite pizza in Seattle! It was super easy to order from their website and run across the street to pick it up. The Mozzarella Pizza was SO. FIRE. The wood-fired crust was delicious and the cheese was melty and fresh and the sauce was so darn good -- I can't say anything else other than to go get it, like now! I am definitely coming back! read more

Serious Pie Ballard - Fresh Mozzarella Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They are Not kidding! This is some Serious Pie! How do I describe this? One of my dining companions said 'I think this has ruined all other pizza for me.' That's a good descriptor. The wood fired crust is crunchy at the edges and well cooked (as in the pizza chef did is correctly). The sauce has a nice herb quality. There is a fragrant olive oil in there. The mozzarella on my pie was thick and creamy, not overly chewy or stringy and the fresh basil has a nice mild flavor. I had an iced tea, which is fresh brewed, and it is one of the best iced teas I've had at a restaurant. They also have house made lemonade, soft drinks, beer amd wine. Walk up to the cashier on the sidewalk to place your order and select one of their picnic tables on either side of the street to dine-in. They have a 3 minute parking spot for pre-ordered take-out carry out. The staff are very friendly. This place is no frills. The attention is on the food, and it's really good. read more

Came here on a road trip through Seattle and saw that serious pie was a hot destination. I ordered on the phone first and then came to pick it up. It wasn't crowded at all the late afternoon but they seemed to take a while to come out with our food. In addition, it didn't come with chili flakes and it took them forever to even find a packet. I ordered the yukon gold potato, pecorino romano, rosemary pie with extra Italian sausage. After bringing it to the locks, I bit in to a pie with good crust, a bit undercooked potatoes, and expensive sausage. The pizza was almost $30 with the extra sausage. Flavor wise it was a great combination but it was just a bit small in addition to the undercooked potato. Overall it was kinda just average for me. It's a bit too pricey for me and not good enough to try it again. read more

Ordered the mix salad for $16 and it's way overpriced for size and what's in it--mixed greens, radish, cucumber and vinaigrette.

Serious Pie may be known for their pizza, and some in our group did enjoy it. But for me, it was the Smoked Turkey Sandwich. O.M.G. They need a Serious Sandwich Ballard because that sandwich was one of the best of my life. I mean who puts pimento cheese on a sandwich?! I do. Now. I do that. The turkey was perfect. The pimento cheese was fantastic. The bread was fabulous. I can't wait to come back and have that sandwich again! Serious. read more

Rainy Seattle doesn't tend to excite me, but a visit to Serious Pie in Ballard on the weekend for its pop up biscuit shop will certainly brighten even the cloudiest of days. Set on the side of a warehouse, on the weekend mornings Serious Pie transforms into its beloved Serious Biscuit for a few lovely hours. And let me tell you, they take their biscuits and gravy seriously. The biscuits are hearty but fluffy and paired with the black pepper gravy (*chef's kiss*), it's a match made in heaven. And while there's other biscuit places around, few stand up to the profound quality of simplicity found at Serious Pie/Biscuit. Best thing on the menu: Anything that has to do with their biscuits and gravy - go nuts! Ambiance: Industrial pop up hanging out of a warehouse, mostly standing room only with a couple of scattered metal tables that are first come, first serve. read more

Was really happy to find a serious pie in Ballard to help sop up all the beer I tend to drink when in the area. Their pizza is fantastic, super thin crust with fresh ingredients. I never feel guilty about eating it. Sandwiches and salads are also delicious as well. I love that I can order/ pay online. There are some covered/ heated picnic tables for eating ur fresh pizza. read more

Good ambience. The pizza had a nice thin crust that did not get soggy at all. The pizza was really tasty but had a lot of oil or butter on it that became pretty heavy as I ate more slices. Love the taste but can't eat more than half a pizza! Good service, good vibes. Will visit again. read more

Good but expensive for what you get. We loved the kale salad and sausage and fennel pizza. The pizza was priced like a large pizza but was more like a smaller flatbread when we got it, though. read more

Serious Pie Ballard - Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's serious pie in Ballard! I was pretty excited to visit them fir the first time after start of pandemic. I ordered the truffle mushroom pie after debating to order the clam pie. It's just for myself and the pie is over 20 dollars. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a coconut pie from I believe Dahlia bakery. The pie was as good as what I remember from before Covid. The sandwich from serious pie I'd never tried was extremely good too! The brioche bun was so tasty, the combination of thin sliced pork and the kale? Along with mild sauce were all great together. There were several sandwich options I'd like to try others next time. The only thing is the outside no server dining.. it'd be cold as winter time is coming. It was actually pretty cold today in October. Pies are best when it's fresh and warm. read more

this place is overpriced with horrible pizza combinations and the smallest pizzas I've ever seen. Their simple cheese pizza taste horrible and is drowning in sauce. For some reason, pepperoni cost 6 extra dollars which is ridiculous for a pizza shop. Ir you want good or affordable pizza do not eat at this restaurant read more

Definitely recommend calling your order ahead. The neighborhood is pretty weird, like a gentrified industrial area. There are a lot of breweries around, but you "can't" bring a 6-pack and drink it at the tables outside... according to the cashier. However, I don't think they'd stop you if you did, just don't be belligerent about it. Ordered two pizzas and it took approximately 25 min to get them out. I first came to serious pie in downtown many years ago and I thought it was the best pizza ever. My second visit wasn't as memorable, but still pretty good. read more

So good! Love that it's right next to all the breweries because it definitely hit the spot. take out only. They had a few seats outside I think but it was too cold and rainy. Also I can't clearly remember if that was true so don't quote me. We got our pizza and went back to urban family brewing read more

TLDR: Seriously overpriced for what you're getting. My credentials: born and raised Italian now living in Seattle, looking for good pizza. Several friends pointed me to Serious Pie, and wow, I was hopeful. I was very let down by this place. Mostly, it's seriously (!!) overpriced. The $17 margherita I ordered was appetizer-sized. The mozzarella pieces were definitely too big proportionally, considering that they didn't fully melt into the sauce and easily slid and plopped all over the place. Not the refined or "elevated" pie you'd expect by any means. The $13 kale salad I also ordered didn't help soften the blow when I picked up my order and noticed how small it was (maybe a cupful of kale, about a tablespoon of pine nuts). Somehow it costs the same as their pork shoulder sandwich? Anyways! Still hungry and considering ordering a second dinner. You'll easily save your $ and find better wood-fired pizza elsewhere. :-) read more

Serious Pie Ballard - Seriously small portions (hand for scale) - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered from Serious Take out this weekend for Mother's Day. I was in charge of dessert and was a little late ordering from other places luckily I remembered Serious Take Out wasn't far from my nail salon which I had an appointment for on Saturday. Ordered the Strawberry Rhubarb pie one of special pies that were being sold for Mother's Day. It was just a five minute walk away from my salon. It's right near a ton of breweries assuming they fo great business. I know some breweries have food trucks perfect but not all have food in house or the room for a food truck. Service was friendly, I think the only thing that could be done better is maybe an area for prepaid stuff and an area for people buying point of sale. Just to streamline things a bit. read more

I have always loved Serious Pie, but I was always challenged by the waits and all of the other places nearby. Serious TakeOut brings the same tasty pizzas to the northern neighborhoods. Ordering a pizza online is a breeze and there is plenty of parking around the area. There are also plenty of breweries nearby so it's very convenient as well. I had my favorite version - the sausage and peppers, which was so good, and also a solid cheese pizza for the fam. They also brought over the smoker from Brave Horse (RIP), and they also have a pork shoulder sandwich on the menu which sounds so good. Definitely a nice addition for the neighborhood and a great location as well. read more

We usually reserve ordering from Serious Pie for special nights. This is the first time I've been dissatisfied, especially given the price. I should've checked my pizza before driving away. My mushroom pizza was burned. I forced myself to finish because again the price. But their was not a single uncharred slice. My husbands pizza was perfect and of course we could've switched but I don't eat meat and he ordered pepperoni. I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

Delicious fresh pies! Very easy to call ahead and pick up. I love their seasonal pies.

Popped in for a little while a few nights ago. The heartfelt service I received is what really prompted me to write this review; though I'd come in for the holiday drink menu primarily. At every turn, I got the sense that my business was appreciated. I left something behind on my way out, popped in some earbuds, and was far down a block when I heard someone running after me. One of the amazing staff ran the better part of a block to return my item. Give this individual a raise! read more

Tom Douglas' Serious Takeout is a great option for these times. We ordered through Door Dash. Process was easy: menu items with pictures and descriptions, order confirmation via Door Dash app as well as text. Pickup is easy: you an prk across the small street in designated space. Order was ready and staff friendly. Best of all: Serious Pie quality for your takeout! We had Prosser Farm Potato pizza- our favorite Pie. Potatoes are thin, tender and salted to perfection w truffle. Heirloom tomato pie was very well bananced: tomatoes were as fresh as flavorful. Fresh mozzarella pizza - we added panceta and black olives- great combination! 3 pizzas were plenty for party of 4 adults - we eat on the lighter side. For an added bonus, take your food to nearby Golden Gardens Park as we did. A full Seattle experience. read more
