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

Went here on the recommendation of a friend who used to live in Seattle. Delicious flavor combos, but not fussy. Don't sleep on the salads, either (I got the marinated kale salad, so yummy.) Three of us shared two pizzas and two salads and it was perfect. read more

Serious TakeOut is a replacement for Serious Pie but without the dine in experience + this location offers items like a pork sandwich and desserts. Located next to the Ballard breweries--like Obec, Stoup, and Urban Family--this is a perfect place to get that bite to eat to complement your beer. Here's the highlights: 1) Close to breweries so perfect for takeout beer food. 2) Prices are pricey for portion sizes, especially for a quick takeout eatery. 3) Pizzas feed one hungry person only. I highly recommend going to Serious TakeOut when you're enjoying a brewery in the area. During COVID, it closes at 8PM so don't get stuck at the brewery without your food--order before 730. The portions are small and the prices are expensive. Consider a full meal to be pushing $20. The team is very quick at getting the food out, so this helps satisfy the quick last minute food cravings when out on a beer outing. This is a great addition to the Ballard brewery scene. read more

Overall I enjoyed the experience of this restaurant. I came around 4:30pm so kinda an early dinner. It was my first time here so I was a little slow at figuring out what to order. The employee ringing me up was agitated and dismissive but in his defense I was being kinda autistically weird looking at the menu and asking awkward questions. The other employee who was my server was very friendly and was very welcoming. I say in the patio area it has good vibes and they're playing fun modern funky music. It was a perfect baby blue sky fall Seattle Sunday day. They weren't too busy. The inside of the restaurant was very clean too. The food was quite pleasant. I over heard the server talking to another hipster customer about how all the ingredients are locally sourced. The preparations were nice. I felt full and not stuffed which is rare with most restaurants. The price was a bit higher than I would have liked to pay but overall fair since it's kinda a fancy, healthy ingredient restaurant in the middle of a city in Biden 2024 economy. If you're in the area come check it out. read more

Wow I'm impressed. Ordered a mozzarella pie and it was a stand out. There are a lot of good pies in the area so to stand out you have to be good. For the me sauce and the crust are just perfect. The sauce is fruity and have notes of garlic, along with the crust. Very fresh tomato taste. The crust is crisp, charred, airy, and coated in cornmeal. The cheese are balls of mozzarella and covered in slices of fresh basil. I will absolutely be coming back. Also the service was prompt and very nice. read more

Serious Pie Ballard - Half eaten pizza on lunch break. Delicious. - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Man I live in CA and I still think about this pizza to this day. I can't wait to go visit my friend so that I can savor the delicious mushroom pizza I got once again. I can seriously taste the fire blaze pizza dough and love that this was the first abstract shaped pizza, not the conventional circle which idk why but made it even more beautiful. I'm a pizza lover and this was an 11/10 if you're visiting Seattle this is a must read more

Delicious as always, dough is particularly amazing. Recommend the truffle/mushroom pizza, or the hot mama pepper/sausage. With how expensive mediocre pizza places are now 100% worth going to serious pie instead. read more

Decided to get something to eat while grabbing a drink in one of the breweries nearby. I ordered the kale salad and pizza with clams. The kale salad was delicious with parmesan, calabrian chilies, and pine nuts. Pine nuts were an excellent add on to the dish with the nutty aroma and texture. They definitely put a lot of parmesan and make it filling. The penn cove clams pizza also included pancetta, chili flakes, lemon thyme, and parmesan. The dough was just right without being too thin or thick. The pancetta was pretty fatty. The dishes here are a bit overpriced for the portion and size of the pizza. Wouldn't mind trying other pizzas but probably not for frequent visit. read more

Great pizza place. A tad over priced but a delicious walk up pizza spot to go to after hitting the breweries in the area.

Had some tasty sandwiches here...the pork shoulder was very good, service was quick and friendly. My daughter liked the grilled portobello. It's also very dog friendly! read more

I came from Urban Family with my family to end our Sunday Funday. From the get go the server was rude. The pizza crust was bomb. And the red blend was surprisingly great. Not sure what kind of wine it was but you'll likely like it. -K read more

Amazing service, fresh delicious ingredients and variety of flavors to suit many tastes.

Food 2 service 4. The Roasted pear pizza is super bad and the sweet funnels sausage is ok. Going forward I would return but pick other pizaas that I have tried before. This means that that Tom Douglas & Serious Pie is losing what I go there for...new innovative food. I have to stick to old tried and hence boring on the pallete food. read more

We came here for restaurant week and we're disappointed. First, we tried to order the prosciutto pizza and told it wasn't part (even though the website says any pizza is included). So we ended up with the standard pepperoni. The pep pieces was really small (felt like a kids pizza), the crust was good but overall felt the pizza was salty and not that great. I for sure wouldn't pay normal menu price. The kale salad was also okay but nothing special - I think we ate about 6 bites. The coconut cream pie is in the fridge for later so have high hopes for that. All seating is outdoor (and the rest room is a port-a-potty). In general Ballard Pizza Company down the road has a superior pizza for the price and size (Pagliacci is even better). I used to love Tom Douglas restaurants but this is a pass for me going forward. read more

I'm still dreaming about this pork and broccoli sandwich. Serious pie and biscuit set up a to go window in balllard in response to covid. Will definitely go back. read more

This pizza! Like holey cow! It's so fricken good! It's so unassuming, literally taking orders off of a loading dock/warehouse, but it's absolutely delicious. The crust was thin yet crisp with the perfect amount of char. The sausage was sweet and seasoned with a good amount of fennel. The pizza as a whole had a great balance of acid, sweet and savory in each bite. It was perfectly made and no other additions were needed. I really really need to come back soon to try more off of their menu. Would highly recommend! It's conveniently located next to at least 4 beer gardens too! read more

Everything Tom Douglas is delish although the interior is def what it is, a cafe dining spot at his world HQ in Ballard!

Jenny is the best server ever. Great pie great service! 5 stars. Loved the ambience so much, great vibes.

Was in Ballard grabbing a beer and everyone around us was getting pizza so we decided to try it. So glad we did! Tasty pizza and best quality food in the Ballard beer area. read more

The pizza dough is crisp on the outside and chew on the inside. Perfect about of sauce. My friend got the pop up tamale which I didn't try but he reports they were delicious. Service was a bit slow considering there was only three people in front of us but the food made up for it. Love this place and Liv Tom and Thierry. read more

While somewhat pricey relative to other takeout joints, the quality of the food and flavors are definitely worth the extra cost. Given the current COVID-19 situation, any luxuries are much appreciated. They avoid cash for safety reasons, so have a card ready. I certainly hope this is temporary and we get back to "normal." read more

Great pizza, great desserts, great beers, terrible salads. You can't win em all, but this a great place to grab a pie and take with to the breweries nearby, or sit under their tents. Very odd layout, but worth checking out. read more

Ordered delivery from here last night and very unimpressed. They forgot the two desserts we really wanted and the pizzas were both off the charts salty. Salads were good but not enough to save the meal. With the other choices in Seattle I wouldn't order from them again. read more

If I want the best taste for chocolate I find myself at the door step of this charming pie shop. Where I get the Mexican chocolate pie. And I am so happy it is the best ever! The rich not too sweet delight is just what I need. No way to get this any where else. read more

I took my 85 year old auntie here for lunch today. She said the smoked turkey and pimento cheese sandwich was the best sandwich she'd ever had (we split it and i agree with her!). And she's eaten a lot of sandwiches in her day. Great filling on a grilled roll, delicious little side of pickled veggies - carrots, cucumber, and cauiflower and the Rachel's blood orange ginger beer rounded out the perfect lunch! Yummy! read more

Serving up the great serious pie gourmet pizzas right in Ballard. Love their new location since it's right close to all the breweries so it's perfect to takeout and eat as you brewery hop. They do run out of the popular pies sometime so call ahead. They also have plenty of veggie options, the truffle mushroom, Yukon gold potato & Buffalo mozzarella pizzas are all excellent. read more

Best pizza ever! Crust light and crunchy and toppings were perfect. I asked them to adjust: light oil and marinara on the side for the potato pizza. Add peppers. Perfect! Too bad I live in CA and won't be able to taste this delicious pizza for awhile. Thank you read more

Delicious pizza, we've gotten it twice while we're at Great Notion. The only place that somewhat gets close to good east coast pie. Way too expensive though, especially given the portions are pretty small. read more

One of the most upsetting things of covid was to find that most downtown serious pie locations will be closed indefinitely. Luckily this place remains open and makes incredible food. Convenient take out option and online ordering are very appreciated during this time. Thanks Serious Pie team read more

We had the pork shoulder sandwich and the delicata squash. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be returning, perhaps try the pizza next time. read more

This is our second time ordering since they opened in Ballard. I had a serious craving for wood fired pizza so my husband agreed to go pick up from here. It was just so disappointing. All three pizzas were practically burnt and they were so salty we couldn't eat them. I don't remember this being the case before. It was like whoever made the sauce over salted it. We also got one of the seasonals with delicata squash, greens and a ham of some sort. It described having ricotta and it was nowhere to be found. Just a strange combo of flavors. Even the cheese pizza had a very scant amount of cheese. For $60 it felt like we had been robbed. Awful! read more

Our taste buds and tummies are satisfied today. Needed to get out of the house and just go for a drive. Looked for who was doing take-out to support local restaurants. Serious Take Out in Ballard & the promise of something other than home cooking and leftovers! The menu is fantastic and the prices super reasonable. Called about 5 and got a 7:30 pick up spot. 3 sandwiches, wings, pizza, kale salad, cookies and wine to go! We arrived and Tom himself was in the kitchen. This was serious take out! Very appropriately named. 2 roast beef sandwiches loaded with beef, THE yummiest sandwich I have ever had - portobello, artichoke hearts, and i can't even remember what else was in my amazing sandwich, because everything blended marvelously and I devoured it. We also purchased 3 of Tom's favorite Italian wines that are sure to be enjoyed at a later date. We were already talking about what we'd order next time we go there. This is a repeat for sure, like next week! We are fans of Dahlia and have additionally enjoyed many of his other restaurants. We always return to Dahlia as it holds a special place in our heart. It's where we go to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, etc. If you're craving something for take-out, get to Serious! The menu has something for everyone in your family and it feels great to support a Seattle eatery with such deep roots in our city. read more

Well, I cannot believe the pie is serious! Price was not an issue, quality was. Edge crust was nearly burned. Center crust was flabby, thin as we usually appreciate, but the thin, under flavored tomato sauce almost dissolved the crust. Where was the cheese? DOCG would've appalled! read more

Ordered the cheese and basil pizza and added pepperoni. Delish!!

I had such high hopes for this place. We ordered the potato pizza and a cheese pizza and pie. The coconut cream pie and peanut butter pies were very good but the pizza was not anywhere close to what I would expect for the price! First off both were extremely salty, almost inedible. This is not a place to go if you are on a budget! The $10 pie slice was a bit tiny. It was good but not worth the $10! Serious pie take out costs some serious money, I hope they seriously improve the product. read more

We celebrated St Patrick's day with reuben and corned beef sandwiches on buttered rye. Delicious! We drove and ate the sandwiches at home and they traveled well. Awesome fries too, which also traveled well. And Tom himself made the sandwiches, thanks Tom! read more

Food excellent. Fix your order pickup so it isn't like customer thunderdome. Totally rediculous there is no line so chaos reigns - and maybe , just maybe, beer service *in the walkway customers try to use * is a spectacularly bad idea. Use a screen, show people the progress of their orders and use a number so we can just say (order 17). The customer experience is so (replaced a bad word, so, just think "bad") it may warrant negative stars. But the food is outstanding. Staff is doing their best. A few logical upgrades and this place earns all its stars back and yes we keep coming back because the food is fantastic. read more

We stopped here for the first time yesterday and picked up two amazing sandwiches--a salmon burger and a mushroom sandwich. They were among the best sandwiches we've ever had. And the prices were competitive if not below the market norm--$11 and $12. We were inspired to patronize this place in part because of the various times they've offered salmon bakes with all proceeds going to Northwest Harvest. They also offer some great options and reasonable prices for bottled/canned beer. read more

I have ordered twice from this pop-up. Pretty much the same order each time: Sausage pizza and Kale Salad. One time I added Pancetta to the salad (delicious) and one time olives (meh). The first time I had the sausage pizza... it was bliss! I quickly ate all-of-it! The second time, crust edge was over cooked while the center was super wet. Plus the sauce was super salty... two slices and I was done (I did eat leftovers the next day though). Price is high (especially if delivered) but I will likely be back... I cant stop thinking about my first taste. And, they are always adding items that look delish. read more

Perfect lunch today! Black bean & chicken soup, House made foccaccia, Little gem green salad, and apple quince pie.
