"When you want your girls’ night out to feel like an adult pizza party, The Independent Pizzeria is the place to go. If you weren’t able to make a reservation (which you need to do by email), get there right at 5pm, because you’ll never get a table in the tiny dining room otherwise. Then, split a few insanely good pies, some charcuterie, and a couple of caesar salads, and wash it all down with tallboys of hard cider. It’s everything you’d ever want in pizza night, without the annoying younger siblings, lack of alcohol, and Costco cake you remember from your youth." - aimee rizzo
"The excellent pizza at Independent Pizzeria is like a nice button-down shirt. You could dress it up with some accessories (or in this case, a bottle of red and some charcuterie), or keep things casual with sneakers and a pair of jeans (cider tall boys and caesar salads). If you have more than four people with you, be sure to shoot the restaurant an email in advance to reserve a table, as the cozy space fills up quickly." - aimee rizzo
"This pizzeria near the shores of Lake Washington serves over a dozen different pies alongside an impressive wine list. Made to order, pizzas come out hot, with that perfect black-spotted crust, full of toppings, and a crisp bottom that holds up on the drive home. Order for pickup online or by phone." - Joey Carreon
"If you’re going to Madison Park Beach, The Independent Pizzeria is a convenient stop nearby. They serve some of the best charred Neapolitan-style pies in the city, which is ideal when you want to grab some pizzas and eat them in the park while sitting criss cross applesauce. Order a round of cider tallboys, a margherita, and the buttery lemon-squeezed clam pie before seamlessly transitioning to some prime duck-watching." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Whenever we want to eat a personal pizza chased with a tallboy, The Indie always hits the spot. Their incredible pies are thin, blistery, and have flawless cheese-to-sauce ratios. It’s also important to note that they make something that very few places do in Seattle: the clam pie. Their version is salty and velvety, and comes with a lemon wedge that brightens it all up. Sure, every pizza here is wonderful, but make sure you order the clam pie. You can go ahead and cancel that New England vacation afterwards." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
