Cute spot near Golden Gardens Park with excellent pizza. The square pizza was excellent. There is a back patio as well, not a ton of inside seating so there could be a wait, but we got lucky to grab a table. Chairs are uncomfortable, though, because there is not much of a back to them. Server was excellent also.
Tucked away in a residential area, it's great for families or casual dinners. Relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff. The pizza was fine! I believe there is much better options in Seattle but this hit for what we needed. Something I don't care for is sweet red sauce. We ordered a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza expecting it to be rich in flavor and spice but it was sweet and served room temperature.
Fresh on our Detroit-style pizza binge, our first since moving away from Detroit, we chose Sunny Hill for our next stop. We walked in right after they opened for a Saturday lunch and were the second group seated. Crunchy Cauliflower ($18) - Amazingly robustly crunchy breading surrounding a tender roasted cauliflower inner core. It's so evenly breaded and adheres so well to the moist interior that it almost seems like a commercially breaded frozen cauliflower. But these have to be homemade, right? They are sprinkled with a chili crisp-esque aleppo oil, which is dry rather than oily, and has a bit of sweetness to complement the heat. It's all on top of a super creamy and thick cashew and cilantro sauce. It's fresh and nutty, and really delicious. (5/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Loyal w/ Pepperoni, 4-Square ($31) - Before I get started, I have to say that the pricing for the 4-Sq vs 8-Sq is bizarre. In no world should an 8-Sq pepperoni pizza be $56. Not to mention it's actually MORE expensive than the 4-Sq on a $ per square inch basis! And you get 4 less corners? People pay a premium at Jet's for their 8 corner pizza! I'm sorry, for a value proposition, this pizza gets a big fat zero. Usually Detroit-style take a while come out, typically 20+ minutes, often over 30 minutes. This one took less than 15, which I found very curious. Surprisingly, the pizza actually comes cut into four slices instead of six, unlike pretty much everywhere else on the West Coast. It looks picture perfect, with the two saucy racing stripes across the top and a superior lacy frico crust along all edges. It's seriously a sight to behold, one of the more perfect Detroit-style pizzas I've seen in a long time. It's after lifting a slice up that things start to unravel, at from a traditional technical perspective. Instead of baking the toppings on raw dough, Sunny Hill seems to either par or fully bake the crust before adding toppings, then bake again. This means the crust doesn't fully meld with the toppings, resulting in a crumb that's extremely airy and light and a taste that's somewhat disparate rather than harmonious. It's more akin to focaccia with toppings rather than pizza. And yet this allows the base to be fully fried on all sides, lending a superior buttery browned flavor. Unfortunately this method of assembly causes an issue - the frico literally slides off the bread. Even before picking up a slice, I could see it separating from the dough and melted cheese bleeding through. The top is a little more forgiving, so the melted mozzarella and brick cheese mixture does manage to mostly adhere. Speaking of the brick cheese, it really does make a huge difference in flavor. This blend is miles better in flavor complexity and fattiness as compared to most Detroit-style places around here that use pure mozzarella or a blend without brick cheese. The sauce is very good as well. It's balanced between sweetness and acidity, spiced just enough to add flavor but still keep the fresh zing of a great tomato sauce. On top of the sauce, the pepperoni is charred and cupped. It seems to be carefully applied so there aren't too many overlapping pieces. This ensures the pizza doesn't become too salty, which is really appreciated. Value-wise this pizza is terrible. $31 is the most I have ever paid for a 4-sq pizza. Heck, it's more than I've paid for many 8-sq pizzas. Luckily for Sunny Hill, I don't usually include value in my ratings, but I was seriously considering dropping the score here. (5/5) I think with this pizza, traditionalists will cry afoul. People who are more open minded will accept that this is a delicious pizza regardless of all the flaws. I'm in the latter group, although with a caveat: What Sunny Hill serves is emphatically not Detroit-style; It's a great Detroit-style-Inspired focaccia with toppings. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms.
As a fan of Detroit-style pizza, Sunny Hill has been on my list for a while. Then I stumbled across an article stating that Sunny Hill has one of top burgers in Seattle, so I had to go check it out. This place was fairly busy upon arrival. Someone came up to us immediately and politely asked us to wait a few minutes for them to set up the table for us. As we were waiting, someone else showed up to take our drink orders. As soon as she took our order, our table was ready. Very systematic and phenomenal service! This is within the first 5 min of being there! The building seemed a bit old and there was a rustic vibe to it. It's not very big and a bit intimate. I wouldn't say it's really designed for groups bigger than 4. Our food came out at a reasonable time after ordering. We had ordered the Arcade square pie with mushrooms, the Lord General square pie, and a Sunny Smash Burger with cheese. Hot honey on the side. Arcade - wanted to keep it somewhat simple with this one so I can get a general understanding of their pizzas. It was loaded with toppings. A bit too much, but I believe it's because of the added mushrooms. The dough was slightly too chewy. I tried it with and without hot honey. I preferred it without. The pizza had too much going on. The flavors were there, but it was a bit heavy. Lord General - this pizza was much better. The flavors were more balanced. It was lighter on the toppings, making it easier to eat with the dough. The sausage and soppressata were a very good combo. They compliment each other very well. Sunny Smash Burger - this burger was very solid. Although it's a smash burger, it's pretty big. The toppings were simple and delicious. The onions was definitely the star of the show. It was heavy on the pickles. A bit too much for my liking, but would be great for pickle lovers. This is great alternative for people who don't want a pizza. Overall it was a great first experience. My only regret is not getting a round pizza to taste the crust. The groups around us all had round pizza and it looked amazing. I'll have to try it next time.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Pretty good lime times two! Weird glass but we're not here for that. Come for the limes, stay for the pizza!

Sunny Hill is a perfectly cute neighborhood spot known for their pizza in an area where good food is harder to come by. There isn't that much seating - they do a lot of takeout orders - so you can imagine how crowded a place like this gets on a Friday night. We came by around 5:40 to put our name on their list. We were told there'd be at least a 40 minute wait, which we had expected anyway. We walked around Golden Gardens to kill some time. Our table wasn't ready quite yet so they sat us over at the bar area in the back and had a some tasty drinks. Even though we waited, their service was so attentive, it hardly felt like a wait. When we got seated, we ordered the following: -Crispy cauliflower -Caesar salad -Waffle fries -Burger -Round pizza with cheese Long story short, everything was delicious. The surprising winners were all of the sides. The waffle fries were fried to perfection. The Caesar salad tasted different from the usual - maybe an extra bit of love? The cauliflower was completely vegan and had a nice kick. The burger was good as was the pizza. I think the square / Detroit style would've been a bit more interesting. But all and all, amazing and friendly service and great food is 5-stars in my book read more
Sunny Hill is the perfect way to end a day at Golden Gardens! It's just a drive up from the hill and it's not too hard to street park around the area. You'll most likely have to wait a bit to get seated if you come around dinner time, but there are plenty of chairs to relax in while waiting. Their square Detroit-style pizza is a must!! We ordered a draft beer each, the crunchy cauliflower, and Murray square pizza and our expectations were absolutely met. The pizza especially impressed me, the crust was so crispy from the cheese and I could really taste the quality of each topping, particularly the tomato sauce. It is a bit pricy I will say, but I'd pay it again tbh. The service was also super friendly and attentive, definitely coming back next time I'm in the area! read more
This spot is fantastic! We had mushroom toast and a square arcade pizza. Everything was so delicious. We sat out front on a patio and they even brought our dog a water dish. There was preppy music playing. The servers all kept tabs on us. Three different people brought out food and drinks. I'm already excited to go back later this summer. There is also an all weather patio out back, but we sat out front. read more

I find myself thinking of Sunny Hill's pizzas often. My favorites are: arcade and you scratched my anchor. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more
Wow, I cannot rave enough about this place. It is a hidden gem, I live in New York, and this place is comparable to some of the best slices. I've had there hot honey and black garlic, ranch or also amazing I highly recommend getting the dipping sides. Also it's a super cute spot to just go on a date, but be prepared to wait at least 30-40 mins read more
Absolutely amazing in every way. Does that sound unreasonably positive? I assure you it's accurate. I'd been wanting to try this spot for a while and Seattle got one of those rare nice stretches of weather in the middle of a very dreary spring. So, so celebrate after work on Friday, we went, anticipating a wait. Their menu is one of those that, as a well practiced homecook, I wanted to enjoy to get some inspiration and aspirations from. It didn't disappoint. For an outside spot, it was a 45 min wait but it felt like that was a conservative estimate and in our probably 30 mins out front soaking up the sunset, we got to order drinks and an appetizer. Was it difficult to cut the charred broccoli on the arm of an Adirondack chair? Yes. But boy was it delicious. We had one of their mezcal cocktails and their daily orange wine pour (nice for $12) and the broccoli that had a really savory aromatic vibe with the tahini and what I think was togarashi seasoning. Delicious and well cooked. Soon after we were escorted to the back patio (by the very charismatic and jovial dude working front of house) with Drea as our server. What. A. Delight. Cannot say enough about Drea. She's rad, hell yeah. Really made the experience. We ordered our pizza, the standard with some chilis added and a side of hot honey, and some waffle fries. All was amazing and that homemade ranch had the best celery flavors. So good The pizza was surprisingly great. Not that I didn't expect good food here but ... y'know. Most pizza is ok. Few are exceptional and this one was it, y'all. Tons of gooey cheese, and all the food came from the kitchen in perfect timing. Clearly a well run restaurant. For dessert, they had salted caramel budino on the menu, which I'd heard of but never has, so we gave it a spin with an amari that I hadn't had before. Nice combo recommended by our server, who also treated us to a tiny nightcap of cynar to wrap up the meal. So absolutely amazing. Thanks for the hospitality read more
An excellent square pie in Seattle! This place had been on our list for months and we finally made the time to come over and try it out. It was bustling on a Saturday night but we could order a drink while we waited. It was only about a 25 min wait for 2 people at peak weekend time. I got the rootdown cocktails which was honestly one of the best drinks I've had this year. It had a tasty sweet rootbeer flavor with a angostura bitters whipped cream, yum! We ordered artichokes for an appetizer and they were tender and had a wonderful lemon flavor. For a pie we went for the pepperoni and pickled serrano square pie. The crust was excellent and the pepperoinis crisped up so nicely. Overall an excellent date night out with super friendly service. We can't wait to come back. read more
We walked in at around 3pm on a Saturday and had no wait- it was mostly empty, we were able to get a table right away and the waitress even told us her favorite spot where the air conditioning hit (it was a hot day) and I thought that was extremely helpful. Our first time in we got the Caesar salad and loyal pie (without peppers bc I am a baby) and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't your typical cae sal with the addition of bonito lime dressing and shiso furikake but it was incredibly delicious. The pizza is truly a stand out star. My boyfriend and I are both from Michigan and we miss the Detroit style pizza so this is an excellent rendition. Crispy buttery crust with an abundance of crunchy cheese pockets. On our second trip in we got the repo man which was mushroom and potato - it was kind of like garlic bread but way better! Definitely give it a try if you want something out of the ordinary. Seating was comfortable, plenty of water and the vibes are great. Worth a trip if you are nearby or going to golden gardens and want to run up the stairs! read more

Great spot. They have fantastic Detroit style pizza - we had the psycho-stick with hot honey and the tiramisu cookie to make for a well balanced meal. We will definitely be back! read more
We were looking for a pizza place and this one popped up with the good reviews. Oh man it was not great at all for us at least... The pizza for me was over cooked with black crust and big patches of flour on the bottom of the pizza. See pictures. Some flour is normal absolutely but mine had big patches on almost every single slice. All pizza pies are between $22-24. I swapped one ingredients and was charged the price of "building your own" which turned a $24 pizza to $27. On top of that, the cocktail was mediocre. I think this place got great reviews from the immediate community since it's at a great location and it's got a cool neighborhood vibe to it. Easy to access for the community to walk to. That's my guess. What I know is if this place was located at an actual heavy foot traffic spot like downtown Ballard or downtown Fremont or downtown cap hill, it wouldn't survive with this quality. Over all, the food is not impressive and with this high price tag, it's an absolute no for me. read more
I rarely give lower rated reviews but this one is warranted for a few reasons. I saw some amazing pictures of the food and Detroit style pizza is one of my favorite style pizzas. I found out that we can order our food in advance so I ordered it on the website and paid for it with the intention of eating there which is a slight bit abnormal but I did leave a tip and was going to order a few more things once we got seated to eat. We got seated quickly after arrival. They provided a plate and water which was fine. They didn't ask if we needed anything else though and left us alone. I decided we needed some drinks for our food so we asked for a root beer to start. We had already started eating the pizza and our hands were full. The waitress came over with the card reader trying to cash us out for the root beer while my hands were filled with grease and stood there waiting. I was surprised and said I'll pay for it with cash afterwards suggesting that I'm in the middle of eating and would rather not go wash my hands to get my wallet to pay and then wash again just to eat again. I felt for the first time as if the waitress thought we would run off without paying for the root beer as if we didn't already pay $70 for the food already in advance. The waffle fries were amazing as well as the burger with added bacon and cheese. I've been to Detroit 9 times and have had real Detroit style pizza so it was quite hard to eat subpar Detroit style pizza from here. I don't have a problem with the crust or sausage but the cheese and sauce were very basic. Like basic cheese and sauce I could get from dominos pizza or any standard pizza place. I probably should give a 2 star review but I'm a pretty generous person so I'll go with a 3 star and just say that maybe the pizza might be better on a different day and the waitress was having a bad day. I asked one of the waiters where the restroom was and he was very nice and pleasant. It was just the gal that was there around 7:45PM. read more

Dropped by here for dinner on a Friday evening. It was pretty busy and took about 20 minutes to get a table for three but didn't seem like a long wait. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. The service was great for being a full restaurant at the peak hours of dinner time. We each ordered a drink, the beet salad, and the arcade square pizza to share. The salad was tasty and refreshing, and the pizza was good as well. It wasn't too exciting of a meal and I think things were a little overpriced. Our bill came out to be $120, including tip. I don't think I'd come back but it was a pleasant experience. read more
Wow! Sunny Hill blew our expectations out of the water! We were seated out front in appropriately sunny weather - there is currently no indoor seating - and started our order with refreshing cocktails we happily to sipped while waiting for our pizzas. Our first pizza was the round, wood-fired Speckoli, which they kindly made half vegetarian friendly so me my partner could both enjoy. We thought that was amazing, with its crispy potato topping and cheesy goodness. However, as much as we enjoyed the round pie, the game changer of the night was the "square" Loyal pie. Pan fried, crispy scorched crust, gooey cheese and fresh basil formed a mouth-watering combo. Can't praise the square pie enough -- Holy moly we ate ourselves into a stupor! Service was also wonderful and attentive and the location was peaceful, in a residential neighborhood. Most definitely coming back once we've recovered from our food coma! - The Pizza Queen of Seattle read more
My friend and I went here after walking around Golden Gardens Beach. We mostly chose this spot cause of its convenient location to the beach. The space is super cute and has lots of natural lighting. It feels so warm and inviting. We arrived in time for brunch and got a breakfast sandwich and the porchetta. Both of our meals were AMAZING! We agreed it was our best meal all week. Everything was so flavorful, the eggs were runny, and the potato wedges were so crispy and tasty. If you go, make sure whatever you get comes with those amazing potato wedges. Even though our meals appeared quite simple, they were packed with flavor and we'd definitely go back. read more

I went to Sunny Hill for the first time last week to eat dinner on a Thursday night. Went pretty early around 5 and there luckily wasn't a wait, but it filled up really quickly after we were seated. We ordered the caesar salad, square pie, and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious! The square pie was perfectly fluffy in the middle and had a good crust around it. The salad was my favorite as it was generously dressed and had some unique flavors. The cookie was definitely big and delicious, but I wish it were warm! Service was great - everyone was so friendly and checked in multiple times. The space itself is very cute and has plenty of outdoor seating, which is dog friendly. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Is there anything better than Detroit style pizza? Correct answer: no. Perfectly thick, crispy crust cooked to perfection. I love the option of being able to get it cooked classic round style or Detroit style. The pizza was DELICIOUS. Served with hot honey as well which makes everything better. The Arcade Detroit style pizza was crispy, not greasy, and had a great kick to it. Love how close it is to Golden Gardens as well - pizza to go for a beach night! I do wish the menu offered a few more pizza options (maybe 2,3 more choices?) read more

Moved to this area and was recommended this place by our neighbors. We got the burger, waffle fries and cauliflower to-go. The burger was fantastic, it was exactly what I needed after a long day of moving. The waffle fries were top notch as well, the cauliflower was a nice different option. Can't wait to dine here next time! read more
Fantastic spot for Detroit-style squares! Having the privilege to try some of the original spots for this style pizza, we were delighted to find Sunny Hill! Not only do they do the traditional cheese excellently, their other options are superbly done - creative and high quality. We've tried their Loyal and Duckie square pizzas, and both were delicious. Their Loyal ($24 - parmesan, mozzarella, provolone) is great on its own, and works even better with Pepperoni (+$2) if that is your jam. Note that the Loyal is a tomato-based pizza. The Duckie ($27) features shaved brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, and fennel sausage. Very balanced, and the fennel sausage with the caramelized onions is an exceptional flavor together. This is a white pizza. Both times we ordered to go and the temperatures hold up well. The space is warm, rustic, and cozy - reflective of the Sunset Hill neighborhood. It's a great hang out spot for smaller groups, but anything bigger than 6 people might yield a longer wait time. That said, it's definitely worth the wait. It looks like they have an outdoor patio in the back, so come back for that in the spring. Parking is challenging if you're traveling from afar without a decent walk, so recommend carpooling, rideshare, or via bus. Their online ordering system is easy to use so you can also place your order ahead of time for pick up. It's best to order earlier in their service hours as they only make a limited amount each day. The team there is very attentive and friendly. The energy of the space is lively and convivial. Overall value is very good for the area, and it's a fantastic neighborhood business we look forward to supporting for a long time. So, if you're looking for a bit of Detroit-style square pizza in North Seattle area, this place is definitely worth a try! read more

Service: Excellent Parking: Street Parking Atmosphere: Excellent Kid Friendly: Excellent Outside Seating: Yes Portion Size: I literally laughed when they delivered my food. Ridiculous! Flavor/Taste: Average Will I be back: Yes, if work is paying for it. My kids and I ventured out on a perfect Seattle evening for something new. We stumbled across Sunny Hill. We were greeted perfectly and quickly seated. The menu had a lot of variety including square pizzas (which looked good). My kids ordered Burgers ($15.00 each) shared an order of Pretzel fries ($7.00), and I ordered the Skirt Steak ($24.000), adding 2 Pilzners ($8.00 each). The first items to come out were the Burgers and fries. Fries were delivered on a plate in a paper bag (clever presentation). The Burgers could have passed for a slider in some venues. The kids weren't impressed. The fries were good but there could have been a lot more of them for $7.00. When my Skirt Steak arrived (just a steak) I literally started to laugh. I embarrassed my daughter and I think I ticked off the waiter. "Where was the rest of the meal?" The waiter offered to pay for one of the beers. I couldn't say "NO". The steak tasted OK and it was tender. There just wasn't enough of it. I know that there is a thing called inflation, but I eat out a lot (entertaining clients). This restaurant experience was a head-scratcher. The meal was not anywhere near the value I would expect for a $90 tab (don't forget they threw in a beer). I have never run a restaurant, but I have worked in a few in college (I know it's not an easy venture to undertake). There seemed to be a lot of happy folks at the venue - so they must be doing something right. We tried something new, but I don't foresee us coming back anytime soon. 30 minutes after our meal, my kids were hungry and asked me if we could go to Dicks Drive in. "YES" I raised smart kids! read more
Lovely spot in sunset hill neighborhood - so cozy especially in the crisp fall in seattle. We got some glasses of wine, Caesar salad, cauliflower, and the duckie rectangle deeper dish pizza. Prob the favorite bite of the meal was the cauliflower! So unassuming but it was jam packed with flavor and that cronch!!!! Only reason why this particular review got 4 out of 5 was I was real craving a red sauce pizza as I am not the biggest fan of white 'za and there was zero indication that the duckie was a white pie until it arrived to the table. Will definitely ask next time if what I'm eyeing is a red or a white 'za. All in all, definitely will be coming back as I want to try some of their non pizza dishes like the half chicken, burger, and (waffle) fries!!!! read more

I really enjoy the high quality pizza and apps here. The staff is kind and helpful when they are not stressed by nutjob patrons. This was our third trip in and we opted for a 5pm just to avoid the families and troublemakers. Kind of a senior time to eat, but we got much better service and a really good pace to the meal. The choice for toppings is thoughtful and tasty. Making unique combos that aren't just for show. The artichokes are a definite must when they are on the menu. The cocktails were well made as well. Just a nice little joy if you can carve out a peaceful visit. read more

Pizza, peppers, meatballs and salad, all was delicious. Killer neighborhood eats with great service. Will be back! read more
Came here for brunch and left very happy and satisfied! First impressions were great! We walked in and were greeted by someone behind the bar who welcomed us and said we could sit in their back patio area, inside, or out front. The patio area was super cute, but it was a little chilly in the shade so we opted to sit outside of the entrance of the restaurant. We ordered the the crispy potatoes and cabbage cakes with smoked salmon and the smashed chickpea toast. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful and unique! It would have been nice to have the potato cabbage cakes be a little crispier but still delicious nonetheless! read more
Sunny Hill located in Seattle/ Ballard's Sunset Hill neighborhood is phenomenal! A bit on the pricier side for my budget, however, you are paying for high quality from these indie culinary geniuses. If you're a parent of a teenager, usually pizza is Domino's, burgers from Dick's, and I bake my own cookies. I placed my advanced order via Tock, which I have done before with other establishments. Select your item(s) and pickup time. Just don't dawdle placing your order because menu items or pickup times can vanish while you're still entering info. Sunny Hill's menu items are very popular and in high demand. You snooze, you lose literally! Pickup #1, last Sunday 5/17/20 at 1600 Ordered a Loyal pizza ($18) with added Italian sausage ($2.50 extra). There's also a container fee ($1.50), 10.1% tax, and my 20% tip. Adds up for sure. Showed up a bit early at curbside, order initiated, then provided with a hot box of goodness! I drove around the corner, had ice cold RCs at the ready and The Homie and I dug in. Thin crust perfection, amazing cheesy goodness, generous Italian sausage, dare I say, reminiscent of Bar del Corso. Pickup #2, today 5/24/20 at 1500 Ordered a Sunny Burger ($13) and added American cheese ($1.50) and bacon ($2). Plus scored and was able to order one of those often sold out Chocolate Chip with sea salt cookies ($6). Again as mentioned above, the usual the container fee, tax, and tip. Again, showed up a bit early in the loading zone. A foursome with baby in a stroller also showed up at the entrance close to my appointed time...no masks, no social distancing observed. I remained in my car, but called directly (thanks Yelp app!), and my order was brought out to my car by a gloved and masked employee. As I was driving home, couldn't resist the hefty, monstrous chocolate chip cookie. The exterior was firm, but the interior was rich, soft, chewy with abundant melty chocolate chips. The restraint with the sea salt was brilliant to heighten the flavor. I ate half, the other half got hoovered by The Homie once I got home. Now a burger splurge for me is a once in a rare moment and hails from L'il Woody's. But this Sunny Burger edged that out. I had to admire it briefly in the takeout box before halving it. Yes half for me, half for The Homie. Bun, toasted and squishy. Homemade ketchup and pickles. Crisp texture from the lettuce, onions, and bacon. The patty itself, smashed grill goodness, well seasoned, and melty American cheese square. Omg, absolutely delicious and satisfying! Highly recommended! read more

Try this charming spot in a Portland-style neighborhood for an amazing square pizza. The 10x14 size offers a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and bread - ideal for two hungry diners. Skip the 10x8; go for the 10x14 for a satisfying pizza experience. Loved the pizza - great sauce, bread, and cheese combo. Could use more meat for that extra kick! read more

Sunny Hill had been on my list for quite some time after seeing their tasty-looking pizzas, etc. on Instagram! I'm so glad they are open on Mondays now (so many restaurants are closed on Mondays that it can be hard to find a place that is open)! I did takeout and ordered online. My order was ready when I arrived and pick-up was easy. I got the following: - Warchild (round) pizza ($24). Really good! I love mushrooms and truffle so really liked this! I do think there could be more mushrooms (or maybe larger pieces) and more truffle flavor but still very tasty! It did get cold/hard pretty quickly but I put it in the toaster oven for a bit when I got home and it was much better! Loved the crust on this... usually I leave the crusts but found myself eating a lot of it with this pizza. - black lemon spiced cauliflower ($12) - Very tasty with the sauce! But, seemed a tad pricey for the size, but definitely understand the price of everything is going up. Still would have liked to have a slightly bigger portion. Also was a tad too salty for me, but overall still really enjoyed! - Big chocolate chip cookie ($6) - Ok, I was skeptical about this one but read another yelp review where someone said it was legit! I agree -- it was crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside and so tasty! Plus the sea salt flakes on top give it the right amount of saltiness. I heated it in the microwave for a few seconds so that the chocolate would get melty. I'm glad I checked out Sunny Hill and will definitely be back (hopefully for dine in and also for brunch!) Definitely want to try their burger at some point too! read more
