Serious Pie Downtown
Serious Pie Downtown is a Tom Douglas pizzeria built around wood-fired pies cooked in a 600-degree apple wood-burning oven, known for its blistered crusts and rotating seasonal toppings. It has locations in downtown Seattle, Ballard, and Totem Lake, and also runs a bakery-style breakfast menu alongside salads and sandwiches. The downtown spot added a private dining room for group bookings.
