"Dino's is technically a bar, but swinging in for a late-night round of Rainier tallboys and actively ignoring the pizza would be a huge error in judgment. We're talking mainly about the Mr. Pink. This pie is topped with sweet vodka sauce, patches of fresh mozzarella and ricotta, and basil, and it's definitively the greatest pizza within Seattle city limits. The crust is thick and crunchy, and the whole bottom is so charred that it’s almost black in some parts, which (to be clear) is exactly how you want it. For a very happy night, add on some negronis and a fistful of garlic knots." - aimee rizzo
"The Mr. Pink pie at Dino’s is operating on a different playing field than anything else here—especially when ordered in rectangular form. This Jersey-style pizza is topped with sweet vodka sauce, globs of fresh mozzarella, ricotta dollops, and basil in a less-is-more distribution that lets the pink goods shine. The crust is thick and crunchy, and the whole bottom is so charred that it’s almost black in some parts, which (to be clear) is exactly how you want it." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"It’s not as centrally located near the Pike/Pine strip as a certain other late-night pizza joint, but some might argue that Dino’s offers a superior East Coast-style slice come last call, and those people will die on this hill, and by “this hill,” we mean the calf-burner that is East Olive. Hit it up until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday and midnight most other nights." - Harry Cheadle
"When you’re looking for the best pizza within Seattle’s city limits, head to Dino’s Tomato Pie and order a Mr. Pink. This square Jersey-style pizza is topped with sweet vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, ricotta cheese, and basil. The crust is thick and crunchy, and the whole bottom is so charred that it’s almost black in some parts, which (to be clear) is exactly how you want it. For a very happy night, add on a negroni and a fistful of garlic knots—and let it be known that the thinner, round version of the same pie also hits just right." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Is Dino’s the best pizza in a city blessed with an abundance of lovingly-leavened artisanal pies? Probably not — even its incredible website only claims to be the second-best in town. Is it the best pizza in the neighborhood? You could argue about that for hours if you liked. But is it the best place to grab a slice on the Hill at 1 a.m.? Resounding yes. (Note that this is a 21-plus pizza place.)" - Sophie Grossman
