Belltown Pizza

"The New York-style, greasy-in-a-good-way slices at Belltown Pizza go extremely well with your last beer or hard cider of the night. The chill atmosphere also works for when things are winding down—and when midnight rolls around, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll be able to snag a booth. Do that." - aimee rizzo

"This follows a trend of other restaurants across the city commissioning painters' services to enliven some of the temporary boards across their storefronts, including Belltown Pizza (which well-known local restaurant artist Dozfy Nyguyen worked on)." - Gabe Guarente

"The Belltown tiki bar is offering take-home kits for five of its cocktails, though booze isn’t included. The bar provides the recipes, mixes, and garnishes for finishing at home, and half of the proceeds go directly to staff." - Megan Hill

"Local 360, a popular Belltown mainstay known for locally-sourced food, is opening a new all-vegan offshoot called Local Vegan. Located in the same building as Local 360 but with a separate dining room, kitchen, and entrance on Bell Street, it seats 45 guests. The restaurant features a seven-course plant-based tasting menu priced at $68, with an optional $20 wine pairing. Dishes include wild mushroom mousse, oven roasted carrots with vegetable demi glace, and almond cheese macarons with apricot compote. It operates from 5 p.m.-10 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. The menu will rotate weekly or even daily, based on available local produce." - Gabe Guarente
