Wood-paneled Mediterranean restaurant with pizzas & cocktails
"Stoneburner has a nice space that’s pretty loud and energetic - so use it to your advantage by pretending you can’t hear Max when he demands to have gummy bears for dinner again. Instead, order some delicious wood-fired pizzas ranging from a basic margherita to the spicy pie with pepperoni, pickled serrano, and honey. The pastas also tend to be a little bland, which is ideal for picky kids, if not their parents." - aimee rizzo
"You might know this Ballard Avenue mainstay as a brunch spot, but it has a rooftop event space called the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion. This accommodates up to 130 guests for a seated dinner and features a fireplace as well as walls that can be moved to make it an open-air space. There are views of the Cascades as well as the surrounding waterways, and while the website notes that to have your wedding here you have to get food catered by Stoneburner, that’s surely a benefit rather than a drawback." - Harry Cheadle
"We love Stoneburner for their pizzas. They also have a secluded wine room set off to the side of the main dining room that works for an intimate dinner for 12 where you can order all the charred pies and bottles of wine you like. But if you need to go much bigger, the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion is available year-round and can accommodate up to 150 people." - aimee rizzo
"If you’re in the mood for pizza, the closest (and best) spot near the Ballard Branch Library is Stoneburner. We’re big fans of their pepperoni pie with serrano chile and fresh oregano, and the crispy mozzarella-stuffed olives are a must." - aimee rizzo
"If you wanted to ironically eat pizza while wearing that blazer you just had tailored, Stoneburner is your place. It’s a good option for a small group that’s up for sharing a bunch of pies. A lot of the food here is good-not-great, but you’re very safe with the pizzas - especially the one topped with pepperoni, serranos, and honey." - aimee rizzo
