There are some things in life that are worth more.

Good service is one of them.

Not that it cost us any more, it actually didn't, the price was the same at the other merchant I called, so really, it was like a free upgrade.

This is Seattle.

Best pizza ever to pass through my tastebuds.

Without hestiation I grant this honor to Flying Squirrel.

The sauce is perfectly spiced, the toppings divine, but THAT CRUST! The one place I never leave 'bones' at, I scarf them up like nobody's business.
