"Headed east out of Ballard and across Leary Way, bikers have quick access to this popular local mini-chain, which dishes up New York-style pizza, served by the slice and in whole pie form. Known for its divey vibe, Big Mario’s menu is divided equally between meat pies (featuring the Mai Tai with pineapple and Italian ham) and veggie, like the Pear Gorgonzola. For those getting a slice to go, Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co. next door is not a bad place to camp out for a beer." - Kelly Knickerbocker
