Seattle’s Pizza Just Keeps Getting Better

Seattle’s Pizza Just Keeps Getting Better

New openings across the city make a strong case that Seattle can finally stop apologizing for its pies.  

Complaining about Seattle’s pizza scene is a well-worn civic ritual, on par with decrying the sad state of the city’s sports teams.
