Belltown Pizza

Back in the day, when we lived in Seattle briefly in 2001-2002, we lived in Belltown. Belltown Pizza was our favorite. We often partook of delicious salads, and what we like to call The Don Special, which is simply sausage, black olive, and onion pizza.

We really miss the view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains (we could also see the Space Needle) from our cute little studio apartment balcony:



But back to the pizza. Once Michael had strayed from the pizza and ordered the Roma sandwich, with prosciutto, Roma tomato, black olive, melted provolone, and pesto. It was a sandwich on par with Honey Hole stuff.

Last week AJ and I ended up here and I waffled (mmm, waffles) between ordering this sandwich and ordering a little pizza. Ultimately, I chose the pizza. The one I chose isn't on their online menu. I think it was called The Derby? It had goat cheese, olive oil base, basil, proscuitto, and fresh tomato. It was delicious. I ordered the small (9 inch) and had two pieces to take home. Michael and I had a delicious snack when I got home!

AJ had the Roast Veggie Chop salad with romaine, chicken, roasted red and green peppers, zukes, summer squash, and mushrooms topped with balsamic vinaigrette. It was bigger than she was, and there were lots of leftovers for her to take home.

Love this place. I just wish they'd take out the tvs.
