I've come here twice now for lunch and both meals were tasty, filling, and satisfying. Great pizza, salads, sandwiches, and appetizers at generous portions and a good price. Also both times we received friendly, excellent service from the nice gentleman who also tends the bar. On our recent visit, The Hubs and I enjoyed the meatball appetizer and the Greenwood Elementary Pizza. We had them sub black olives for the onions. Excellent, light yet sturdy crust with a nice chew and generous toppings. The smaller size was plenty for two people. Recommend it. read more

This is a perfect neighborhood pizza place for families within walking distance to take the family, let the kids loose and have the wifes drink vino and fathers drink beer. Seems to be a neighborhood smaller version of Tutta Bella. The toppings on the pizza are good quality but I find the crust to be lacking, but can't figure out what's missing. Large portions on the salads and I could make a meal of just a single salad without ordering anything else. We had salad, small pizza, 2 beers and 2 wines and it was just shy of $60. The atmosphere is a bit cold, bright, loud with seating that's mostly hard wood booths without cushions or such. I found the service to be pleasant and the staff was professional and I enjoyed the service. For singles this is a strong 3 star and a 4 star experience for families with children. read more

I want to give 4 stars very badly. Staff were fun and friendly. Like the vibe. The pizza however lacked flavor. Sauce needs some love, not sure what cheese was used, even sausage did not seem to add much flavor. Hope to visit again and give it another try! read more

Love this place. The Interurban salad is so good. Gluten free pies and options for veggie n meat lovers alike.

Extremely rude waitress. I do not remember the last time I left zero tip but I'll remember this time. She told me I hadn't ordered 30 seconds after I had ordered, literally. I said I'd just ordered and she replied sharply, "No you didn't". (We should have walked, then and there.) My friends heard me order. So I ordered again and said "I just read this order." She then said, "no you ordered from him" meaning the owner who brought drinks. So she did hear me the first time and failed to write it down on the pad she was holding. The pizza was just OK but upon reheating the next day it was obvious the cheese was cheap, like rubber. We dropped ~$400 there over the previous few weeks; never again. read more

Great pizza, great service, but most importantly, great happy hour. The pizza always comes with generous toppings and bubbling cheese. The crust is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I've always had great service from multiple servers. I love that my water glass never goes empty. I've also noticed that there are always regulars there, but I never feel like I have to compete with them for the bartender's attention. The Ridge has one of the best happy hour menus around. They have a great range of snacks and meals to choose from. I recommend the 8" happy hour pizza. Only $1 per topping. Delicious. read more

It is nice to have a solid, locally-connected pizza spot in Phinney. GOOD: The salads are HUGE, tasty and worth every cent. Trust me, a full salad here is 3 meals. Ingredients are fresh. Top-notch. The meatballs are yummy, too! Super convenient if you live in Phinney/Greenwood, and not much competition in the area. AVERAGE: The pizza. Strangely, for a pizza place, the pizza underwhelms. I have tried 4 times, and I think the issue is actually the super-bland crust. The toppings are fun and fresh (the meats need a little kick, so get red peppers, etc), but I like a good pizza dough, and the Ridge crust is just there to keep the toppings off your hands. read more

When The Ridge is on, they are on, when thy are off they are way off. Been here 4-5 times (take out and dine in) and each time a different result. It's unfortunate about the inconsistency because the first few pizzas were great but the last 3 were not. Nice soft yummy crust vs a crust that shatters, is burnt or tastes of nothing. We might give it another try because we support local but.... read more

The SALADS are the best in the city I've found so far. Pizza is alright, their pepperoni needs to be spicier, in my honest opinion. Happy hour is killer Staff are wonderful. read more

I have wondered about this place for a while and finally went there for dinner. The food is OK, although definitely no real vegan options without customizing things. My husband said the pizza was pretty good, and I had a salad that had garbanzo beans and other veggies which was good. We did order the bruschetta because it did not say that it had balsamic vinegar. My husband can't stand it, and surprisingly it came covered in it. We then ordered a second bruschetta appetizer and asked for no balsamic vinegar, and the second one didn't have any on top but the little breads seem to be soaked in it as well which was pretty frustrating. overall it was so so. read more

Date night before a concert. Sat at the bar and enjoyed people watching while grabbing a drink and some food. Loved the open air and food was great! read more

First time ordering here and I ordered a large pepperoni pizza. The pizza was loaded with pepperoni, however there was little sauce and cheese. This made the pizza dry and like eating pepperoni on white bread with little moisture. Disappointing. read more

Always great food that is named after the local neighborhood icons. Friendly staff. Clean inside. Safe Covid distancing set up. Pre-Covid they were always busy and packed, and at times a little too loud in the back area. But this family friendly gem is a consistent favorite. read more

Wow. Not only are the bartender what appears to be the manager/owner and wait staff unfriendly... The cliental are pretentious and tasteless. This place is for yuppies and douches. What a waste of time and money. Except the pregnant bartender..... She was kind. Everyone else can EF the EF off. The Doctor read more

The Ridge - Bar wall at Ridge Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I thought I'd give this place a go after driving by it for the last few years. We ordered the breadsticks, turkey meatballs and Ken's Market pizza. The breadsticks are not breadsticks, here is the description on the menu, "fresh baked breadsticks topped with garlic, grated parmesan & truffle oil, served with a cup of marinara." What we got was a pizza crust smothered in grated parmesan, and the sliced. If you are going to call that a breadstick that's great for you, but don't mislead people on your menu, I was expecting a breadstick akin to what you'd get at Olive Garden. The meatballs were fine, a bit heavy handed on the fennel, but not too bad. The pizza is just ok, not terrible, but not spectacular either. It's a little bready, especially at the edge, so if you are a lover of the crust, this might be for you. read more

Just a genuine neighborhood pizza bar. Great beer list and wine list, fair prices, and a solid menu. Salads were big enough to share as an appetizer as well, which was nice. As I've come to expect from Seattle pizzerias, the variety of toppings, styles, and base sauces was huge. Not only that, but the preparation was more European than American-- a focus on having really good toppings spread evenly or sparingly, as opposed to having tons of mediocre toppings covering the pie. I'm anxious to try one of the options with the pesto base next time. Definitely will be back... read more

Great pizza! One closest to me even said second to Serious Pie...that's huge. More traditional than Serious Pie but delicious fresh ingredients on top of a crust that you won't want to leave on the plate. Great choices to pick from and they are also great at making the pizza to ones liking without any scoff. Try this one ...mama l'il peppers with their sausage and white onions. Kind of really really good. Salads are big fresh and nicely dressed. Drinks are good from hot toddies to a great selection of beers. What gives these guys a push over others is their excellent, excellent service. I love going out to eat places where they treat everyone from myself, to my son, to some elderly bar patron with kindness. I saw the bartender one day go over and give a grumpy looking old fella a big fat hug for his bday. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Yesterday, we celebrated the Seahawks win there and for 5 hrs, these guys became family! read more

I was looking for pizza for dinner and came across this place. Let me tell ya I was NOT disappointed!! This place was so incredibly delicious. I wish I could have snapped a picture to attach to the review, but I inhaled my pizza and breadsticks. I will be coming back and I suggest you make a visit! read more

Ah, Pizza. One of those foods that is so beloved by many. Easy to please food, simple enough, but hard to get right. I mean really right. Sure I was hungry, our entire group was. But this has to rank up there among the best pizzas I've had. Our group ordered four large pies. Of the selections were the Oliver's Twist, Avanti, Martino's and the PTA. (except for the latter, they're all named after businesses on the street. How cute.) All four pizzas were amazing! Read about these on the website, but the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The crust was so good, I actually ate my crusts (which I often will leave behind). My personal fave was the Oliver's Twist: Sliced red potatoes, onions, and bacon, topped with truffle oil and rosemary on an olive oil base. The others were more/less a margarita, meat lovers, and supreme. But all of them totally delish. Lots of beers on tap, a pretty diverse selection. A really nice and comfortable interior. Since we were a big group we got the entire back area to ourselves. (Sorry, Ridge for hoggin it up!) And I am pleased that this place is actually not very far from where I live. I will definitely be back here again and bring a new group of friends. Yummy! read more

First mistake was coming here way too hungry and then ordering the mezza platter. But maybe I should have been warned that I was ordering a group platter with intentions of two people eating as an appetizer before a meal. I loved that they had Angry Orchard Cider on tap (few places in Seattle have decent cider on tap, which I head is being mended with a Cidery on Capital Hill - must investigate!). We sat at the bar while my Friend watched a match - and we did have to wait over 20 minutes for the platter to arrive - and with reason as it was so huge! That being the case our pizza arrived soon thereafter, so I ended up boxing up most of the meat, bread, and cheese which over flowed off the plate. The pizza was tasty but it was that platter and the cider that were so memorable for me.... read more

Pizza was amazing! service was great! Recommend it to anyone! Great vibe! Place feels inviting and comfortable.

First off, this just isn't my style of pizza (favorites include Veraci, Serious Pie). I prefer thick crust whereas this is more like the old school pizza that you probably ate growing up. I would compare it to DiGiorno. Nothing special. In addition, while our waitress was friendly, the service was pretty slow. read more

These folks are always very friendly. I like the menu items and I can rotate through to different meals if I get tired of one particular thing. The food and service is very consistent, which is a lovely thing to feel walking into an establishment or ordering take out. read more

I can't believe it's been 12 years since my last review! We went recently, sat at the bar an enjoyed a glass of wine and a Martino's pizza! Great service and the pizza was superb! The crust was not too thin or doughy, Rather a perfect medium crispy crust, lots of good meats and mamas lil peppers, would definitely order again. read more

Our family used to love this place, not just for the ambience and food, but the friendly staff. The last three times we have been in, the staff (particularly the hostesses) have been very rude. The only exception is Chris who is consistently exceptional. There are too many other pizza options in the neighborhood that have good pizza that I'd rather give my business to than be repeatedly disappointed and annoyed after having a meal here. Thanks Ridge for the memories but good service goes a long way and I can't keep hoping this will ever return. read more

Firefighter pizza - delicious! Loved the sauce, crust and toppings. Ken's Market - very good!y favorite Martino's - spicy. I didn't love it but the men at the table devoured it. Greek salad - very good Cheesy garlic bread - nice and cheesy! Really enjoyed this place. read more

Finally a pizza place that the whole family loves! We ordered the Ken's Market pizza and it was so good! Perfect ratio of toppings to dough and just the right amount of sauce. We also really enjoyed the caesar salad. Thanks Ridge for a great Friday night dinner! read more

Salads: fresh ingredients, excellent ranch (kinda herby). Pizza: yum! Crust, good. Sauce, good. Cheese, excellent!! Meat toppings, wonderful. Overall very impressed with their pizza. You can tell some care went into it. Service: great. But keep in mind that pizza takes 25-30 minutes. Ambiance: quite loud on busy nights. Count on shouting to your neighbor. They have patio seating, but not much. Plenty inside. read more

Such a wonderful place! Great food! Great service! Highly recommend for a group dinner or a date night! Make sure you try the kale Caesar and the Texas Mule!!! read more

Just ate here for lunch. Pizza was pretty good, a little tame, but hit the spot. The device was fantastic and the atmosphere is really nice. I recommend this spot if you live on Phinney Ridge read more

This pizza was really bad. Surprisingly bad. Everything about it - the dough was like cardboard, the toppings weren't great..we won't order this again. read more

The Ridge makes really excellent pizza, but they also recently betrayed me when I needed them most. The day was March 20, 2017; a balmy day in Seattle, and also my birthday. For my special birthday dinner, my darling wife picked up a pie of my choosing. Wanting to try something new, I chose one of the signature pizzas--the Sip and Ship--which is described as: "Italian sausage, red and green bell peppers, and fresh mozzarella, on a marinara base." As soon as the pizza arrived at my house, I eagerly opened the box only to be hit with a wave of dizziness and abject despair... The pizza did contain all the ingredients listed, but was devoid of the traditional, foundational layer of mozarella cheese. The aforementioned fresh mozarella was dolloped intermittently, but for most of the surface all I saw was sad, naked, light marinara staring back at me. While I fundamentally disagree with this recipe, I do acknowledge its right to exist. However, the unfortunate product description resulted in a catastrophic if unintentional bait-and-switch. None of the other pizza descriptions specifically call out that a given pizza does, in fact, feature a crust-to-crust coverage of cheese like every other pizza in the ever-expanding universe. Hopefully one day I can recover from this momentous rug-pulling. In summary, the pizza is usually top-notch, but the Sip and Ship is missing a bunch of cheese. You've been warned. read more

Lots of neighbor locals dine here in the Phinney Ridge area. The restaurant is bigger than it looks since it goes way back down a long narrow structure. Good selection of pizzas & salads. Service was friendly and quick. Pizza was good but slightly overpriced for the size. read more

I was keeping my friend company who just had surgery on her hand and was directed by her doctor to keep it easy. She wanted out of the house so we decided to venture out and get some grub. She listed off the places in the neighborhood and as soon as pizza was mentioned I was sold. We walked right into The Ridge. The Ridge is a cozy space, full of wood paneling, tables, and benches. There is a bar with about four stools with a selection of taps. This place best suits small groups of up to four. Actually this would be a great place to rent out for a casual party. The Ridge offers pizza and similiar to many pizza joints it is more upscale. Sure you can build your own pizza with minimal toppings like cheese and pepperoni but why would you with the choices offered? We decided to order the Greek salad and the Carmelita for the pizza which comes with roma tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, black olives, red onions and roasted garlic finished with fresh basil. Since I am not an olive fan I asked if they could be on the side for the salad and on only one side for the pizza. The waiter who was very personable had no problem dealing with my request. The Greek salad was the perfect size for two people. The Carmelita pizza was yummy but I like all those toppings, with the exception of the olives, so I thought they were a great combination. The crust was between medium and thin and a bit chewy which I am a fan of. I am glad we chose The Ridge. I enjoyed the pizza and the salad as well at the atmosphere. read more

Happy hour at the Ridge is Italian food bliss. Garlic bread, meatballs, artichoke dip... everything on their menu that I've tried in the two visits here (which is everything) was well priced and completely delicious. I confess I have avoided spending 26 bucks on one of their pizzas, but only because I fear I will love it and then be sad that I spent so much money when I could have had the whole happy hour menu for the same price :-) P.S. I haven't had the salad. I don't eat salad. Ever. read more

We went back to The Ridge because you know what its close and we can walk there and its just good old fashion good! OK blah blah blah about the food its good you should have some from here! What I got to say is the staff here is out of this world polite and kind and just makes the experience out of this world. A staff works together, waits on tables that are not there's, working to make the experience reviewable, and personally I felt taken care of not handled. If you all are wondering to go here GO! EAT! Say thank you to the people that work hard for you to have an outstanding experience. read more

Awesome happy hour...we are leaving full after getting salad, garlic cheese bread and two pizzas for $24!!

The Ridge has really solid pizza, a well-stocked bar, and a friendly staff. I do like the Neopolitan-style which is so en vogue in Seattle these days, but sometimes, I like a little more cheese, meat, and carbs, and Ridge delivers on all three. The crust while thin is much more substantial than let's say Tutta Bella. But it's every but as tasty and I found myself not leaving a piece behind. They do pizza by the slide for lunch, but it's a better deal to get a fresh baked personal pie cooked to order. There is a decent selection of liquor as well as about a dozen beers on draft. The bar tender, Mary, was taking care of the entire place during lunch and doing a great job. Definitely a good place for pizza, and bonus points for being open during lunch! read more

The Ridge rocks! The local owners have quickly achieved what it takes some places years to do: they've made a comfortable, fun, lively neighborhood hangout. It's a little loud but not overly, and I really loved that they were playing ska the night I came in. The space has several varied sections: bar and dining on the main level, semi private reservable area and open kitchen view seating a few steps up in the mezzanine. Cold? Got a child who'd like to watch the pizza cooking? Sit at the counter looking into the kitchen. Their pizza's delicious with perfect crust, and I love the philanthropic pies. Salads are huge, definitely shareable. And the service was excellent - the people are truly what the Ridge is all about. read more

Raw pizza again the 2nd time... you guys have to learn how to cook pizza. If the cheese is not melted the dough hasn't cooked through...
