    I stopped by Sunny Hill for a late lunch. They open at 4pm on weekdays and 12pm on weekends, making it a great spot for a weekend lunch. Service was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and inviting with plenty of natural light. They serve both round and Detroit-style square pies. I ordered the Loyal square pie (4 slices) with castelvetrano olives and mushroom. I liked the sauce and the crust, but I personally would've preferred a bit more sauce and olives on my pie. There are plenty of pizzas and toppings to choose from, and it's also possible to customize the order. The chocolate chip cookie, while a little pricey, was excellent and very tasty.

    My review is for takeaway. I finished a walk around Green Lake and thought I definitely earned a pizza! I heard Sunny Hill had one of the best Detroit style pizza and round pizzas in Ballard. I placed an online order for their Lord General round pie. By the time I arrived at Sunny Hill pizza, my pie was ready! It was a Thursday night around 7:30pm and there were a few people in the restaurant. The server greeted me warmly and handed me my pie. It smelled really good! By the time I got home, the pizza was still warm. The sausage olive thin crust pizza was delicious. They added just the right amount of toppings so you can taste each flavor. The crust had nice coloring and it was crisp. Everyone has different preferences for their crusts and I like mine crisp vs chewy. I would go back and dine in to try their other pies.

    With a dash of hot honey on their pizza, and it was a perfect mix of crispy, sweet and savory. Their dessert was a sweet tiramisu like cookie which is always worth sharing with the table

    Saw the sunset at Golden Gardens and the smell of delicious pulled us here!

    I would highly recommend stopping here after visiting Golden gardens Beach. The staff was very attentive. The pizza was seasoned well, thick crust, and tasted amazing!

    Sunny Hill has an inviting, neighborhood feel. It's in North Ballard by Golden Gardens so could be a good hang out or date spot. If you can, snag a table by the window. It's ideal for people-watching and soaking up the afternoon light! A random touch, their glass cups are adorably shaped and perfect for drinks. What We Ordered: Gem Lettuces ($18): The bonito lime Caesar dressing added a unique twist, and the furikake sprinkled on top gave it an umami kick. The romaine was fresh and crisp. 4/5. Really Good Burrata ($18): Kind of not good. The burrata wasn't quite there and the rhubarb yuzu kosho accompaniment didn't elevate the flavor as hoped. But honestly, for this dish, maybe it's just me and I can't appreciate the yuzu kosho! 2/5. Roasted Asparagus ($18): This dish had a lot going on, but in a good way, and the accompanying flavors complemented it well. 4/5. Death by Misadventure Square Pie ($30): The pizza was tasty but portion size was basically for a single person. It's a lovely spot to catch up with friends over a drink and a bite, but it may not be the best value. It feels very Seattle food scene in that way-- iykyk

    Waffle fries and sauces

    Great little food stop. Friendly and quick service with street side seating, indoor seating and a rear heated seating area. We tried their square pizza and waffle fries. Both were great and loved their garlic ranch sauce and hot honey. Will definitely be back.

    Arcade pizza, half eaten
    Dewayne P.

    I got the arcade pizza to go and ate it while walking around in the area. I should have taken a picture from the outset but I couldn't because I scarfed half of it down too quickly. It was incredibly good. My wife actually thought it was so so but I told her she needs to rewire her brain. I think it's because she's trying to lose weight so she doesn't like thick pizza. But for me this was heaven. The pepperoni was perfectly crusted. I believe that's the mallard effect or something other. I also liked how it had both sauce and tomatoes, so it tasted extra juicy. And what's good about this is that there's no crust with no toppings on it, this is good all the way around. I also saw the chef taking a baked chicken quarter out of the oven and throwing it over some greens. And a few other people sitting down got some meatballs that looked good. I need to come back here and try it off. The ambiance is pretty upscale but comfortable.

    INCREDIBLE. I heard about the Detroit style pizza here and I had to try. The inside seating is very cozy and my husband and I got a cute booth in the corner. We ordered the crispy cauliflower and absolutely loved it. For pizza we selected the Arcade square pizza and added sausage and it was so delicious. The crust was the best part. Our orders came in a timely manner and the service was outstanding. We can't wait to go back!!!

    Psycho stick pizza
    Andrew H.

    One of my favorite pizzas in the area. The crust was crispy yet still fluffy. Definitely recommend adding hot honey to pair with the pizza. The burrata appetizer was just as good as the pizza to me. The bread was flavorful (I think they add like fried or dried garlic?) and nice texture to go with the burrata. It is a bit pricey and the space is a bit cramped, but I would definitely come back to try more.

    IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD DETROIT STYLE PIZZA IN YOUR AREA, STOP READING THIS AND NAVIGATE TO SUNNY HILL. We tried the smash burger and the cheese pizza here. As you can probably tell we were big fans of the pizza. Initially we had doubts that it could warrant the price in comparison to something like Jets Pizza, but after trying it we think it definitely does (or at least comes close). The pizza was not super greasy and the dough was so good. They don't try anything weird with the sauce it's just plain good sauce. The burger on the other hand was a bit dissapointing. It was really greasy and honestly it wasn't anything super special. The pizza was clearly the highlight. The service was great, nothing negative that stood out. We came a little before 5pm on Saturday and had no issue getting a table, but we did notice it started to get busy after 5. When we came there was also plenty of street parking. There is outdoor seating and a balcony out back.

    We went on a Saturday at 4 pm and it wasn't too busy, so we got seated right away. They have plenty of seating to choose from - indoor, outdoor and backyard. Both outdoor spaces have heated lamps. They started getting busy around 5pm. We got our food pretty quickly and service was great. We ordered the burger with fries and the loyal Detroit style pizza. Let's start with the burger. It was pretty average. I liked the caramelized onions which added a nice sweetness to it. The party itself was a bit too salty for me. The fries were sooo good. You could tell they were made fresh and didn't taste processed or weren't super oily at all. Perfectly salted too! The pizza was one of the best I've had in Seattle. The crust and dough were good to perfection - beautifully crispy yet soft and chewy. The sauce was sweet and flavorful as well. Would definitely one back here for the pizza!

    Sunny Hill had been on my list for a while and I got to check it out when I was in the neighborhood recently. It's a really nice place and it was a nice chill night for outdoor seating. The heater next to us was not working but it wasn't too cold to be an issue. Our server was very informative and provided us recommendations on her favorites. We got a split square pie of the Arcade which has pepperoni, pickled serrano, mozz and parm, and the other half was Death by Misadventure which has garlic & fennel sausage, basil, guindilla peppers, taggiasca olive. Both of these very amazing and I love the thick crust on the square pie. Their round pies have more of a thinner NY style crust. I am definitely coming back to try the other ones!

    Lemon crinkle cookie
    Austin H.

    I really enjoyed this spot and would definitely like to come back to try other items off the menu. The vibes are very laid back as it is a neighborhood spot and on the day I went with a friend of mine the weather was nice so we ate outside. It was also very nice that parking is easy to find here. The server was attentive and helpful as well. They have a solid selection of draft beers and a nice simple menu which primarily features pizza and some shared plates but they do also have a smash burger which I've heard is good as well. We were there for the Detroit style pizza and we tried the psycho stick and the arcade. I think both of us preferred the arcade one because crispy pepperoni cups on Detroit is an elite combo but both were very good and I would definitely order them again. I personally wish there had been some more pickled serranos on the arcade though. The side of black garlic ranch was also a tasty addition to add to the pizza as well. For dessert we split a lemon crinkle cookie and I would honestly skip that next time as it was a pretty average $7 cookie in my opinion. I really want to try the round pie next time I come back as well as some of the other non-pizza items.

Fresh ingredients, such as the peas were the best by far but the balance just wasn't there. The pizza was fine, not bad, not memorable. It didn't leave you thinking about it later. The charcuterie board wasn't anything to rave about either just an average plate. Still, the vibe alone makes it a decent spot to meet up, snack, and enjoy the space! The service was great!

The employee who eventually helped me was nice, but the overall experience still didn't feel welcoming or attentive. Over several visits, the service has just not matched the quality of the food. In this economy, it's truly a blessing for businesses to still have loyal customers coming through the door and wanting to support local spots. At the very least, customers should feel welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of when they walk in. I genuinely hope they improve the service side of things because the food has potential, the bar vibes they've created are pretty cool as well and I'd love to be able to give this place a better review in the future.

Upon arrival after 9:00 pm on a Tuesday, we asked to set in one of the booth but they said no because of their strict policy for the booth the used x 3 or more people. Meanwhile, all 4 booth were empty. The kind waitress then offered to move us to the bar booth if something opened up, we kindly agreed and simple went on with our night at different table. While on the table my friend picked up 3 small little flowers from the base and said happy birthday to me, and I put the little flowers on my hair, then I told the waitress I hope you don't mind, my friend gave this little flowers from the table it is my birthday, to which the waitress replied happy birthday, I have no problem with that!. Then comes the manager, and tells me sarcastically, that is a cute flower but it is not yours to take, you should have asked permission anyways, I told him with a smile, but is my birthday and it a tiny flower may I keep it? He stated no, because other costumers will come in and there are no flowers in the table. I told him to replace it with another from another table and he said No give it back now please. It is not yours to take!!! Me, already feeling unwelcome and missed treated, yet still stayed but couldn't even finish my pizza because of how upset I was. I told my friend I wanted to leave. After closing the tab, I walked upfront and waited for my friend. Upon walking outside, the managers comes after us screaming "hey give me back the flower" you took it, at this point I was still walking ahead on my friend and I can hear the manager yelling "she stole it" give it back now, she is a thief, you come here to steal is that it? I repeatedly, told him I didn't take it and even open my purse and told him to come search it, but he stormed back in while insulting and yelling to me IN PUBLIC! - I was deeply humiliated in front of absolute strangers. I didn't see my friend taking the flower either, and if he did, he never gave it to me otherwise, I would have throw it at his face. The luck of hospitality, professionalism, and simply compassion and dignity from this person is Absolutely Unacceptable. I was treated with far more respect and the Four Seasons (and they did give me flowers), than this ridiculous place. It is a shame that the owner would allow someone like this to be the front of the business. And I feel deeply sorry for their employees to have to endure this person as I saw on their eyes the embarrassment they felt. I deserve nothing else but an apology for the way I was treated. I too work in hospitality, I know what is like to provide costumer service providing healthcare and never in my wildest days would I ever treat anyone with such disrespect and unprofessionalism. I recommend this person to be replace or re train. Otherwise it will only affect the business.

If that line is intimidating or wet (think rain!) then duck inside to Pizza and Pasta Bar for a delicious meal. While there we met the owners Bruno and Goli who were helping out behind the counter. They are the nicest people ever! So friendly and accommodating and always smiling. Their pride in their restaurant really shows in their care of the food and customers. I had the infamous meatball sandwich and my wife had the chicken carbonara. They gave us each a slice of their pizza for free as they had a bit extra from one that just came out of the oven. The food was prepared in front of you which is always interesting to watch and the charming brick pizza oven was directly in front of us so we could watch that process as well. Pretty cool. There are a wide variety of pizzas and pastas, desserts and drinks (alcohol too!) available on the menu. We ate at at the bar and had a wonderful conversation with the owners as they bustled about in the open cooking area. I enjoyed my meatball sandwich which had great crunchy crusty bread that held in the contents of melted cheese, red sauce and meatballs. A great choice to get when there. My wife liked her chicken carbonara and as the portion was pretty large, we were able to take some home for later. Extra yummy for me (ha ha)! The complimentary pizza slices were a hit for us as well. Napoli style with thin crust and flavorful toppings. We found out that Goli created the restaurant's design with the face of a woman that looks a lot like Venus in "The Birth of Venus" painting by Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Italy (just sayin'). Except that this logo has hair made of pasta! Good enough to eat! Give this place a try. You'll leave with a big smile on your faces!

I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out.

Unfortunately, the experience is consistently dampened by one of weekend bartenders. As others have mentioned, it's that taller bartender (Alex?) who repeatedly comes across as arrogant and dismissive to us; a less than desirable character trait for a bartender. It's such a pity because that is the sole reason we now lead our groups to spend their money and patronize other establishments instead. Recently we did give Diller another try, but sadly it's the same story and thus this feedback. Hospitality makes a HUGE difference. Bartending isn't just about making a good drink and expecting tips. As someone who tended bar all over Seattle for 23 years, I know how much energy and attitude shape a guest's night. When the service feels cold and passive-aggressively rude, it's hard to feel good about the experience. It's disappointing, because this place has so much potential. Hopefully management considers bringing in weekend staff whose personalities reflect the warmth and atmosphere the space deserves, there are plenty of more qualified bartenders in Seattle that would gladly fill their spot.
