"Touring the Sodo winery and brewery scene with your parents is not a bad idea. Here’s an even better idea: afterwards, get some New York-style pizza at Nine Pies. Grab a table in the garage-like space and split some quality thin-crust pies with toppings like soppressata, homemade meatballs, chili oil, and pickled peppers. Your parents will like the fact that there’s a parking lot, and you’ll like the fact that the calzones filled with herbed ricotta are delicious (particularly when dipped in the homemade buttermilk ranch). Always get an order of the pesto breadsticks and cannellini bean dip for the table, and keep the wine coming." - aimee rizzo
