At first I was like: wasabi infused pineapple? As a pizza topping? You crazy for this one, world pizza. But then it turns out THAT IS THE EXACT SORT OF THING YOU SHOULD PUT ON A PIZZA TO MAKE IT DELICIOUS! And so it goes for every kind of single-slice-madness I have ever had the pleasure of tasting at this totally magical place (and if you're more of a traditionalist, the plain cheese is nothing to sneeze at)! So, yes, the pies are dope, but really the people who make and serve them are what ratchets this review into the five star realm. They might be the nicest people in the city of Seattle. I mean, sincerely nice. The first time I went in there homeboy behind the counter had a ten minute conversation with me about record collecting (turns out we both love Wu Tang)! The last time I went in there I spent quite a while lamenting with my newest pizza-making-goddess-friend about how hard it is to own nothing but wool socks once summer rolls around. This was literally five minutes to closing, but there was zero amount of rushing on her part. We just talked about socks while she lovingly warmed my slices for me. She then proceeded to throw two extra pieces into my box afterward. All I did was inquire about how one of the toppings was made (the aforementioned wasabi-pineapple), and she, without a moments hesitation said "well you should just try it" and stuck it in the box. See? THE NICEST! As if any of that weren't enough; World Pizza is the lone dingy for the residents of the ID drowning in a sea of Asian Food (because a person cannot subsist on dim sum alone). Yes, it's all vegetarian, but chill out, because it's really good, and this is coming from a girl you orders the meat-a-saurus at Belltown Pizza. World Pizza is the best. Go eat it! read more

A vegetarian only pizza place? Be still my heart! What a weird little location for such place (I'm not sure that'll help their business) but the people at World Pizza were super accommodating for my UYE letting us take over the entire space. As far as the food is concerned, it wasn't the best but it was pretty darn good. I got the one with the wasabi pineapples but I didn't really taste the wasabi. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the one with the potatoes on it! Rebecca S. said that it tasted like french fries on pizza and so I'm thinkin' that'll be good to eat when me and my girlfriends are all synced up on our cycles. Yeah, I went there. read more

If Toms of Maine made pizza this would be it. It's disgusting. Their crust is like a flaky tasteless soy imitation of pizza. Their meatless topping leaves much to be desired Nasty. There's was a pungent smell of BO overriding the smell of pizza which didn't really smell like pizza at all. The ready and waiting by the slice pies at 6:30pm looked lien they'd been out for 3 days. This could be due to the vegetarian setting but who knows. My wife has called me a pizza snob but really I just like to make a good pie myself. Most pizza is ok, many pizzas are better and few are excellent. I rank this pie lower than a Totinos wafer thin freezer pizza @ 2 for $3. Where at least the cheese is real and the mystery meat is actually meat. Anyway I won't be back....EVER! Blah Just plain nasty. An insult to pizza chefs everywhere. read more

YUussss.. beer and pizza in the ID... WELCOME!! I always get veggie toppings on pizza so vegetarian pizza works for me. The potato pizza is out of this world. I wish I thought of it first. Their Manny's on tap tasted really fresh & tasty last time I went. Perhaps because they are new so the pipe is clean? Anyway, this place is real chill. It was not crowded last time we came here. You pay ahead of time and there are seating booths so you can just hang out with beer and pizza and oh people. good times. read more

I like what they have going on. Pleasant staff and dining space. Given the name and being in the ID, I wish they'd incorporate pizzas from different parts of the world. I.e., a Thai-themed (basil, peanut sauce, chicken satay...), a Greek-themed (feta-cheese, hummus, onions, etc...?), a German-themed (quality sausage, bonus Rammstein CD...)... The current selection is unique and good. I'd like to see more int'l variety, though. Perhaps in the form of rotating seasonals, Daily Variety, etc...? read more

So freaking good! So slightly sacrilegious that I went to Chinatown to get pizza by the slice but whatever. My cravings have no rhyme or reason. I was so pleasantly surprised by a vegetarian pizza spot that also serves vegan pizza. I'm a huge carnivore so needless to say I was uninterested in the vegan option, already getting vegetarian pizza. I got the a slice of classic cheese pizza and a slice of pesto mushroom. Lots of cheese but still really crispy crust which was great. Would've gotten 5 stars but there was a hair imbedded in one of the slices. I just picked it out and kept eating. It wasn't a short curly one so I figured it was okay to keep eating. read more

I like pizza! Much love goes out to the family that started this joint many years ago and kept the dream alive long enough to bring it back to it's present location. It's hard to be original in this day and age when it comes to Pizza but these guys are doin' it and the menu is changing all the time. Recently I was at World Pizza and it seemed like Adam was churning-out a pizza every few minutes... the variety kept on marching right out of the oven! He has a "special sauce" recipe that he uses and fresh ingredients that include my all-time fave "Field Roast Pepperoni". If you have to have meat on your pizza, you may need to bring your own but I for one am glad that they are a "cruelty free" establishment. Got to have some meat? There is plenty of dim-sum out there so quit your complaining and check out the real hot spot in Chinatown.. You won't regret it (get yourself some Manny's beer on tap while you're at it). read more

World Pizza is a charming little pizza joint tucked in among mostly Asian eateries on the neighboring blocks. The pizza is all vegetarian but even a meat-lover like me doesn't miss it here. They have field roast, potato, and many other toppings. The slice I enjoyed recently had field roast, jalapenos, and pineapple. The people working there are always very friendly. Would recommend this spot to anyone who loves pizza! read more

I'm a big fan of this place for my lunchtime slices! The crust is great and the tomato sauce is spicy and delicious. There are a few seats for dining in but it's just as easy to get it to go. Vegan? Call ahead and they'll accommodate you by making up a slice or two for you at lunchtime. And of course, whole vegan pizzas are always available..... read more

Little slice of heaven in Chinatown!?!?! YES I've always passed by this cute spot, and thought how funny it was that a pizza spot existed in the I.D.! I was automatically drawn, and couldn't wait to finally try their pizza. You're welcomed to a great window of melted goodness, and super friendly staff. I tried their margarita, and pepperoni slices to try how they do basics first. I'm a thin crust, NY style pizza, gal myself, but World Pizza got me through their ingredients!!! SO. GOOD. With their wide array of toppings from what I saw, and read about, you can't go wrong with trying any other slice they dish up for you here. Can't wait to come back for another yummy slice! read more

This is a vegie pizza place, although they have the "pepperoni " pizza. I do pick up here at least twice a week so have a pretty complete view of their food and service. They have all kinds of interesting pizza such as pineapple and jalapeño, peach and pepperoni, potato, etc. All their staff are extremely nice and willing to explain any questions you may have (about their food of course, but maybe even life philosophy if you ask nicely). And they have happy hours running from 3pm to 6pm, during which you get about 50cents off pizza by slice and cheap draft beer(4 dollar?) read more

Pizza is not very good. The dough doesn't taste very good. I am from NYC and love a classic New York cheese slice. This place has high prices for the pizza portion you get and the crust is a super crispy and almost bread stick hard. Would recommend another pizza place although haven't seen a decent pizza place in Seattle in the few months I've lived here. I may give up. read more

Charlie Brown Christmas on vinyl and $1.50 Happy Hour slices!! Yay! Throw in $2.00 Rainier on tap ( if I remember correctly) and Mexican Coca Cola...a recipe for success! The pizza sauce is by far the best I've had in years - rich and bright without being dominated by oregano. The toppings are artfully tossed onto a thin crust with generous helpings of cheese and sauce. This pizza calls for a knife and fork! The atmosphere is warm and inviting as well; dark chestnut floors, olive and rust painted walls, and a few wooden booths to share with a friend. The flavors are most definitely Mediterranean - no Peking duck pizza....yet! read more

Secretly located in Chinatown. Tasty, good crust, and nice variety. Cheap. Most importantly: Field Roast pepperoni slices. Love it. Bonus tip: The have beer and wine! Now all they need is a delivery option. read more

Delicious, freshly made vegetarian pizza made using quality ingredients. How much better does it get? I've been in twice with my bf and both times really enjoyed it, so we'll be back for sure. He also works nearby and it's convenient when I am picking him up after work and we need a bite to eat. I also love that they've got beer on tap in addition to other beverage, coffee and pastry options, as well as freshly made Greek salad which is delicious!! Their slices are good sized and so is the salad. Oh, and the best part? Happy hour! Slices are only $2!!! (I think between 3 and 6pm) Where can you get dinner for $4 besides like...fast food? (Ew). read more

Dear god... I dare to proclaim: BEST PIZZA IN SEATTLE! Each style has a lot of flavor. When they write basil in the description, you TASTE basil. I've had slices that were sitting out and ordered trays (pies/trays/whatever name you know the doughy-goodness by), both were freaking amazing. My fiance and I typically order the 16" Field Roast pepperoni with pineapple, which I never thought I would like, but we enjoy every bite! It has a light spicy kick to it (even more noticeable on your second slice) and the crust isn't typical. It's thin, similar to a solid baked good, but not flaky. That took a little getting used to, but now I love it. We've also had their "famous" roasted-red potato by the slice and once again, not something I thought would be appetizing to me, but omg I now know why it's famous. We also come from an area in Pennsylvania that has numerous styles of pizza, so I like to think we can differentiate good, great, okay and crap pizza from one another. This may not be "typical" pizza, but it is GREAT pizza. The staff is also very friendly! They're inviting and helpful, but whatever guy answers the phone on Sundays I gotta say, get it together, man lol read more

As former regional chair of the National Cattelman's Association, I was wary at first of their non meat selections. Upon investigation and ingestion I found their "fauxperoni" and imposter meat selections to be quite satisfying. The staff is wonderul: helpful, courteous, smart, and funny. AMAZINGLY they reflect an owner who seems to hire folks like him. read more

This, my friends, is my new favorite pizza. It's not too thin and not to thick, but Pizzalocks likes, is just right. In the middle of the International District, you got this place that is delightfully tasty. Field roast pepperoni and pineapple, plain cheese, potato Rosemary blue cheese--- youbget the idea. Grab a beer and a chewy chocolate chip cookie and you're on to your next adventure in the neighborhood. Or in my case, back to the office a block away. They got the cool goods here. read more

World Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great topping selection, loved the flavor but the pizza was so thin in the center that I had to eat half of every slice with a fork and knife -- only the crust end was stiff enough to pick up. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review of World Pizza yet! I go here every time I'm in Seattle. I've been here 5 or 6 times. It's some of the best pizza outside of the NJ/NYC area. I was surprised to find this place in the International District but I'm glad I did. Its a good change of pace if you get tired of Dim Sum or hot pot. The staff here are nice and outgoing. I haven't had everything on the menu yet but everything I have tasted has been worth it!! The full size pizzas were a bit too much for me to finish by myself so bring a friend if you are ordering a full pizza. Slices are always available. You can't go wrong with getting a plain slice but definitely try the rest of their menu. I personally recommend the Field Roast, Margherita, or Dragon! read more

I ate here with a couple coworkers last week and have to say I was impressed. The vegan pepperoni & pineapple I had was excellent and, in fact, didn't taste any different in taste than regular pepperoni and pineapple to me and I'm pretty picky. The crust was also noteworthy and cooked perfectly. The Greek salad was very tasty and they even made me a fresh one with no onions. I had a big chocolate chip cookie on the way out and have to say it was well worth the $2. A pizza place in the international district seems out of place but this place works since their food is so good and adds a little variety to the cuisine available there. If you like pizza and are vegetarian, it's worth a try. read more

Such a wonderful pizza spot! This place is a real jewel of the community, you can find locals in here at any time of the day. The pizza is known for its pitch-perfect sauce and wide variety of toppings in seemingly endless combinations. The garlic-rosemary potato is a stone-cold classic, and the pesto is also pretty legendary. Other standouts include the seasonal fruit pizzas (apple! peach! fig!), and the delicious but elusive broccoli. It's nice that the place has these personal touches: unique hand-drawn boxes, strange decor chefs who are willing to improvise by request. The atmosphere is the perfect amount of chill. It's awesome to find a place where you don't feel rushed ordering at the counter or lingering on the couch. Protip: come during weekday happy hour for $3 slices and $4 craft beer! read more

Pretty sure I have wrote a review for this in the past but the Yelp ghosts took it away. Anyway I have come here a handful of time the past year and been pretty happy with it. I live in the International district and I love meat but, when you live in this area you can only have so much asian food without freaking out. So, for it being vegetarian and only pizza place in area it is very strong. They have the best prices during happy hour and decent rotating handles of good beer. My favorite pizza is the Potato and rosemary pizza and the Pineapple and Jalapeño. Crust is a bit dry but, it is worth a try especially if you are vegetarian or trapped in Chinatown. read more

Seriously good, seriously creative, and seriously cheap! Really big fan of this spot. It's a bit tucked away up in the ID, but it is worth the trek. All of their pizzas are vegetarian, and many of them offer really unique toppings. There are some faux meats for those that like guilt-free proteins, but many other interesting combinations like the habanero/ricotta slice I had, and the rosemary/potato slice I also had (yes I ate two, and yes they are large). I also really like the flavor of the sauce, kinda spicy kinda sweet. For two large slices of pizza with very unique toppings plus a bottled beverage, it is crazy that the cost was still in the single digits. In addition to pizza by the slice, you can also order whole pies. And beyond bottled beverages and coffee, they offer wine and beer, including Manny's on tap. (Pizza + Manny's = Winning) (Yes I realize that joke is like 3 years old) The seating area is small, but I've been able to snag a booth both times I've been here. Though you may want to take yours to-go if you're not a huge fan of smelling like pizza the rest of the day. I worked at a pizza place in college so maybe I'm more immune to the eau de pizza perfume those massive ovens can cause. read more

World Pizza - Potato rosemary and habanero ricotta - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OH. MY. GOD. THIS PLACE ROCKS! I work in the I.D. and get SO tired of asian food that some days I just want some good ole american food. Now I am not a vegetarian but I don't mind not having meat but its great for my veggie co-workers that they dont have to live in fear of meat creeping on to their plate. Gladly, we came on a friday so I had a Manny's on tap with my Pizza. It was so good I had to get another slice, I was quite hungry that day. I love how the crust had spices in it. Yum yum. The kind I got was the veggie with artichoke, my favorite. Definitely coming back here! read more

This is reason enough to move to Seattle. Stick to THE PIZZA OR DRINKS and you'll be money. Also, happy hour: all slices for the cost of cheese slices and a dollar off all drinks. read more

Best pizza in seattle hands down! And i am not even a vegetarian... Its not just the pizza though, the atmosphere is awesome - employee sharpied pizza boxes on the walls and one beer on tap (mannys) and lemonheads randomly for sale - all while being extremely nice, personable and unpretentious. The brothers that own the place are always working when i come in and have some great stories. Plus, its just fun to show someone such a fantastic pizza joint in the midst pf the id. read more

This is an awesome, funky place. All of their pies are vegetarian, which appeals to my dietary choices. They use good ingredients, including locally-produced Field Roast grain meat sausages. That is rad. They have a great homemade thin crust and a flavorful, savory-sweet tomato sauce. The pies are super creative. I had an amazing pizza that featured sweet chili peppers and wasabi-infused pineapple. It blew my mind! One of the owners also makes homemade seasoned salts. There are several available to add to your slices and they are also available for purchase at the register. Anyway, my point is this - while I live in Laurelhurst, I will definitely go out of my way to visit this place again for a slice and a beer. read more

This pizza was pretty sub par. We got fresh slices of pepperoni right out of the oven so were I. Hope of some delicious fresh pizza. The sauce was okay, nothing spectacular. Just your standard red sauce. The crust itself was was really dense and hard. Not your typical pizza crust. Not fluffy and flavorful, just super dense. The Pepperoni was extremely spicy, thick bratwurst type sausage. They tried to "gourmet" up their pizza and successfully failed. Save the $3.00. Go get dim sum instead. read more

I love pizza. Pizza is my favorite food, and I believe pizza is a way of life. I've had a variety of pizza, and the one place that I always go back to and absolutely love is World Pizza. This place is seriously amazing. If I could eat here everyday, I totally would. During the school year, I go there before work and over the summer, I go there after. If you're ever in the International District, this is definitely a place you should check out. After becoming vegetarian, I thought pizza and I would have to break up, however, this is a vegetarian pizza place! It's like a dream come true. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

I thought the place was a bit pedestrian. Even though I made a trip just to try this place, I am not sure that it's worth it. Buying the pizza by the slice for three dollars is a fairly decent deal. The potato, garlic and rosemary pizza was tasty, though not sensational. Nevertheless, I commend the owner's courage to open up a pizza place in the international district (although, as a friend's friend from South Dakota once said that she considered spaghetti international, I suppose pizza is indeed international and we Americans just like to claim it as our own.) Although I wish they would do more to leverage their location and add a few twists to their pizza toppings. As they have already proved to be bold people who are willing to take risks by opening a pizza store in an odd location, I think they should take some risks in their food and add a few Asian spins if possible. After all, Asians have some of the best vegetarian dishes; surely some of those can inspire a good vegetarian pizza that unlike the establishment. read more

I work just a couple of blocks away and needed pizza for a lunchtime presentation, so I decided to go with World Pizza because they were my "neighborhood' pizza place. Got six pies and some Greek salad for a crowd of about 20, and it was plenty of food. I picked out six different pies, including one with no cheese. This was great because two people who originally didn't want pizza because of problems with cheese/meat/pesto were suddenly wanting pizza.The pizzas all tasted great, so the carnivores were happy, the vegetarians were thrilled. Unfortunately, World Pizza does not deliver, so three of my coworkers volunteered to walk over and pick it up. But, every pizza box was hand-decorated with magic marker drawings, so you gotta love that. Somewhat mysteriously, we got about a dozen sets of bamboo chopsticks with our order. I guess they were for the salads. but there was plenty of plastic flatware as well. The last pie to disappear was the red pepper and wasabi pineapple pizza, because most people didn't know what was going on with the green pineapple, and those who did feared the power of peppers and wasabi. As it turns out the peppers were very sweet and mild, the wasabi was very mellow. No danger of burning taste buds or blowing out your sinuses. I was tempted to get the funny side up pizza, but I feared eggs on pizza wouldn't go over well with the office crowd. Maybe next time. read more

I'm still on the lookout for the best pie in Seattle since the days that Zagi's packed up shop and hit the festival circuit again. World Pizza won't be taking the title, but they fill a need with some creative pies. I've been here several times since they opened when I'm craving a slice--the brothers are extremely friendly, their pie lineup has some steady favorites--the potato rosemary is usually my go-to--and some seasonal offerings. I had a peach and gorgonzola slice today that was absolutely fantastic. That said, I enjoy a slice you can pick up, fold down the middle and much away--a perfect shape for enjoying the flavor triangle. Most of the time, though, I've got to pull a Donald Trump and bust out the fork and knife and go to work. I respect them for keeping it vegetarian, but sometimes there's nothing like the addition of salted pig parts to take a slice from good to great. I'll continue going there and take my quest for the perfect slice to all the pizza joints in town...either that or track down the Zagi's folks on the road somewhere. read more

First time I was here was during the Chinese Festival. I was going to wait to see if a slice of pepperoni was going to come out but ended up just buying a slice of cheese. It was really damn good and I knew I would check it out again. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS VEGETARIAN! No pepperoni, no problem. It is fine as it is. I came back with Ron M and it was just as good as I remembered. I had the cheese with tomatoes and basil. You can also enjoy the pizza with a Manny's. Oh yeah! I can't wait to come back and try some of their other offerings. Zipzap Zubidy Bop! read more

Awesome pizza place in Chinatown! I often try to stop here before Sounders games (we often park under the bridge (across from House of Hong) but do not get to stop as often as I would like to. They have great vegetarian options and what at least seems like healthier pizza in general. I have tried a few different slices of pizza here and enjoyed them all. They do have some seating and a few booths inside, but the few times I have been, I have taken my pizza to go. They also have a few beer and wine options (both bottled beer and beer on tap) which would make this a great place to hangout with friends for a little while, and this is something I still need to do. If you are walking through Chinatown and looking for a quick bite to eat, this is a good spot. read more

I'm a pizza connoisseur. I've visited many many Seattle pizza places and I'm 99.9% certain this is my favorite, but I will be back again and again AND AGAIN AND AGAIN to be sure. They make thin crust that's not New York style or Neapolitan or fancy Serious Pie style and I think it's better than all of them. It reminds me a little of certain thin crust places in Chicago. I'll have to ask them to square cut it at some point. It's vegetarian (but I'm not), and the "pepperoni" is quite tasty. I think it's owned by a couple brothers who are always there. It's a cool place and it's interesting to have a pizza place in the ID. I'd highly recommend it. Oh, and I think a cheese pizza is only $15, which makes me happy. read more

Best cheese pizza I have ever had in Washintong, Hands down. Super friendly staff. Stop reading and go try it already! read more

VEGETARIANS, REJOICE!!! The only pizza place in SODO, and the only pizza place you will ever want to go to downtown. The wife of one of the owners told me that the potato pizza is just as exceptional cold as it is served hot... She was totally right. Each slice is around three dollars so make sure you're ready to dig a little bit deeper in your pockets than you normally would. But your money is well worth it. The only reason why I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars is because there beer selection is pretty ok. I wish they had a wider selection of IPA's and some reasonably priced wine. Do yourself a favor and grab your next slice here. read more

Surprised to find a pizza joint in the ID. Tried a slice of their potato and gorgonzola pizza. It was tasty and the sauce was great. The crust was good, but a little dry. I have a feeling that's because it's probably good for you (wheat?) and I'm used to more unhealthy offerings. Interesting choice of location in the Coon Dip Yovng building across from the Mon Hei Bakery. Usually head to the ID for noodles, but maybe next time I will head in for some pizza. read more

I unfortunately did not order a full pizza so I can only comment on the pre-made slices. Which was not great. But it wasn't bad either. The interior of World Pizza was tiny! They had maybe 3 or four booths and some bar seating at the Windows. The service was awesome tho! My husband is funny, he saw a pie on the counter in the back that looked a little burnt and he asked if he could just get a piece of it anyway. They sold it to him for the price of a slice of cheese. It was a potato blue cheese?? I believe....anyway I thought it was delicious even though it was toasty. I like certain foods a little crisp anyway! I thought it was cool they offered to let us get a slice even if they were going to toss it. It's a super divey hole in the wall place which I'm digging that vibe. Boy was it hot in there though! Next time I need to try me a full pizza to really get a grasp on the quality! read more
