"Stevie’s Famous Pizza recently beat out 32 reader-nominated Seattle pizzerias in 2024’s Seattle Times’ Pizza Smackdown after more than 13,000 votes and five rounds of bracket-style competition (the runner-up was Bar del Corso). The secret? Stevie’s naturally leavened dough, which produces a consistent crust that is foldable and flavorful. Stevie’s also sources local ingredients for their pies, and even uses those trendy cuppy pepperoni that are all the rage right now. This is inside the Clock-Out Lounge, a music venue, but in the early dinner hours it’s a chill (and surprisingly family-friendly) restaurant." - Joey Carreon
