Ballard Pizza Company - Ballard

TLDR; this style of pizza is not for me. We ordered a slice of pepperoni and a large cheese pizza with basil between the 3 of us. I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ll be back - the pizza was too greasy, and for the price, I expected better quality and flavors. I’ve made the mistake of eating a cheese pizza at little ceasers once, and this felt just like that except with a thinner crust. I’m hoping this probably has to do with the style of pizza they make, which just isn’t for my palette.

Super delicious and the best pizza stop to have a peaceful yummy pizza. Tried the veggie vegan cheese pizza and never knew vegan could taste this good.

Great pizza. Really good flavor balance, well constructed recipes. Decent crust! GF crust was chewy, crispy and satisfying. Asking an additional $4 for a 10in GF crust on top of the medium 14in price isn't reasonable, to me. Depending on what they're using, these crusts freeze and bake just fine. This is a price that will make me hesitate to come again. Atmosphere is really cute! Very old-school pizza vibes. *However* the track lighting should either point much higher on the wall or straight down. Pointing right at the face of anyone sitting along the wall is awful. I almost left because of this (no food is tasty with a migraine) but I was able to borrow my partner's hat, so it was okay. Fun cocktails, decent pours! Overall a fun new experience that i would do again with a few modifications and changes in expectation. The pizza is great. The service is great. The lighting needs some tweaking.

Solid New York-style slice. The crust is near perfect here and they have a lot of creative flavor combos in addition to more traditional toppings.

I’m new to Seattle, so when I googled “best pizza in Ballard” this place came up. I went on the thing to choose what I wanted and was shocked at how expensive it is. I thought, “Maybe this pizza is so good it’s worth it?” Against every fiber of my being, I went through with it and ordered a $40 pizza. I was so disappointed when I opened the box and saw a sad, sad excuse for a pepperoni pizza. This is nothing special and the single most expensive pizza I’ve ever ordered. It has changed me as a person. There’s gotta be something better in the city.

Beware GF orderers! The medium GF pizza is MUCH smaller than the regular medium pizza. And you have to pay an additional $4 for the GF crust. This size disparity isn’t communicated on the menu or online ordering. Shouldn’t have to pay extra for a very small and already expensive pizza. Very disappointed and will be going elsewhere in the future.

I've been ordering from Ballard pizza for several years, but recently their quality has just taken a dive. They seem to have changed their cheese blend to something closely resembling and Alfredo sauce rather than the usual expectation for a mozeralla blend. It's just a slimy mess. I can't imagine ordering from here again, which is a shame since they used to have one of the better options for feeding a group.

Listen Linda! This pizza hit the spot! Get yourself the 522. It satisfied the palate of an individuals. We grabbed pizza then took it to go and we all enjoyed every bite. I say do it.

Came here on a Thursday afternoon, during their weekly trivia night. There's street parking all around but it wasn't that easy to find an open space, but that is standard for Ballard. The space is quite nice, with both bar and table seating. The host asked me if I was ok with the bar versus a table, and I went to sit at the bar. I ordered a cocktail and a slice of pizza, both which came out very quickly. The cocktail was pretty good, and I enjoyed the pizza overall! During this time, trivia got started. The bartender gave me my bill, I let him know I'd be playing for a while, and he said it was fine and I could get to the bill when I was ready. I ended up ordering a second slice of pizza. Overall pleasant night and decent food!

Good pizza spot in Ballard. The crust was super good. We really enjoyed the salad, olives (appetizer), and Caesar salad! Good place to chat with friends. Options for drinks. They also have a bathroom.

Came in for the wing special on Wednesday. 0cent wings are hard to complain about. The staff was very friendly and the service was good. The rester aunt was pretty dead at one point we were the only one in there and it was only about 745.

Pretty meh pizza. I expected so much more from Ethan Stowell. The other pizza company from a local clean chef is way better. The pizza sauce is sour and crust is pretty ordinary. Way overpriced for the taste and quality. I should have read the reviews before going there.

Honestly so disappointed with this place. Was excited to learn they have gluten free pizza but man was I to be let down. This gluten free pizza is a 10" pizza that wasn't even remotely warm. Not to mention crust was somehow hard and chewy at the same time? I stood outside and called to order as I had my dog with me, the guy who took my order was rude and seemed to be annoyed at my questions. I also paid over $35 for a pizza that was honestly a waste of time and effort for everyone. Do yourself a favor, don't come here if you're gluten free.

Death Spiral Complete We used to love this place. When we moved to Seattle in 2016, we ate here all the time. We loved it, our kids loved it, the food was great, the service was great - it was a fun night out for all. We started going to Frelard because it was a little closer to our house, and that place was great too - with some fun outdoor seating. This was our go-to option for a pizza night out, or ordering delivery for years. The the pandemic hit. This place suffered the same as every other restaurant in the country. The problem is that they never really recovered. The quality went way down and staff turnover was pretty high. We tried for *years* to give them a chance to recover. When our delivery pizza was bad, we made excuses for them and said it must have been a busy Friday night, or that we should have gone there in person. Going in person didn't help - it was just as bad. We kept going anyway hoping they would recover. Our final visit to Frelard was so bad we left 2 pizzas to be thrown away, and Frelard shut down not long after that. Ballard Pizza Company recently moved to a new location, and we thought it was time to give the another chance. Surely they would put some effort in to make the food good a new location. Nope. It was awful. The cheese was bad, the sauce was bland, and the crust was simultaneously burnt and soggy. How is that even possible? I was really at a loss trying to understand how the pizza had become so bad. Ethan Stowell is an experienced restauranteur who knows how to run a restaurant that makes good food. What has gone wrong here? Then I read a McSweeny's piece about your local mediocre pizzeria, and it explained a lot. Go search for that article and read it. Also, take a look around at the space. It has a horrible sports bar vibe with the expected clientele. I guess if you are there to get drunk you can choke down the pizza. After this last visit, half of our family swore we would never eat there again. Someone from the other half decided to order from them anyway. They were warned: "We can't stop you if you want to ruin your dinner, but we are eating something else." The order arrived and there were errors - no shocker. And it was as bad as expected. There was one redeeming quality to the order - it came with pizza box and big paper bag that we could use for our compost.

I was enjoying the pizza until I bit into a slice and found a gold metal wire that was in my slice! Beware of this place!

Loved the veggie pizza! The crust, mix of veggies and epic size made it memorable... this coming from a Chicago pizza person. So good. We loved the wine too. I even bought a bottle to take home. Wish I'd taken a pic of the pizza.

We love your pizza and your business ! We had some friends over and bought your pizza for them and now your pizza is their favorite as well . I highly recommend this pizza to everyone ! So delicious :)

Such a cool little spot! I've been to BPC before but this one is on another level. Great new spot. Super friendly bartender, Josh! He was great. Pizza is amazing and the wings are so crave-able! Highly recommend.

Good pizza in Seattle often entails enduring Herculean trials just to find out that they've sold out or won't seat you (eg, "we're open from 2:37 pm - 4:31 pm on days that begin with the letter "T" and the line starts forming at 3:00 am"). Ballard Pizza Co is a nice counterpoint to the madness. It offers a comfortable space to relax with drinks and decent, but not phenomenal pizza. Regarding the pizza itself: I'm nitpicking, but I wasn't crazy about the cornmeal on the crust and I thought the slices needed a bit more structure. That being said, the toppings and flavors were on point. I'd go to Ballard Pizza Co over Delancey any day (much more relaxing), but don't think the pies are as good as Dantini.
