This maybe the best pizza I've ever had in my life.
It's small so order generously! -

Ok. Overpriced.
Ambiance was rad. But, for a Chicago deep-dish trained family, it's too fancy-modern-west-coasty for us. -

When you walk into a restaurant that describes their food as serious, you know you've crossed over into uncharted territory. Serious Pie is aptly named. You can almost feel the intensity in their pizza, bubbling with passion and topped with fiery dedication.
Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of the communal tables they have set up here. My chance to have an intimate dinner with my girlfriend was diminished as I felt uncomfortable sitting within eavesdropping range of the people next to us. It literally gets elbow-to-elbow when it's busy in here. Yes, I know that's intentional, but please take note if you're socially inept or you have bad body odor or something.
Anyway, being from Southern Cailfornia, we were here for one night and one night only, so we were naturally very careful about what to order. The lady at the front suggested a few menu items: The sweet fennel sausage, pepper, and provolone pizza is popular with the customers; her personal favorite is the arugula, coppa, and soft-boiled egg pizza; and the chanterelle mushroom and truffle cheese pizza is what receives the most media attention. We decided to go for that last one.
The pizza we received was a work of art. Is it wrong to admire a food item as such? Taking that first bite, you're welcomed into pizza bliss. The cheese radiates with a warm, buttery glow--soft and inviting, like a cozy bonfire in the middle of the night. Chanterelles of differing shapes punctuate the landscape, and the crust is crisp and chewy with subtle charring around the edges. Then, the truffle oil hits you, and that's when you truly know you've delved into something special.
In short, Serious Pie is awesome. I visited this restaurant over eight months ago and I can still remember my experience there. Can a taste be so great that it's permanently burned into your memory banks? Apparently, it can. -

I have being wanting to eat here for over 18 months, at last I got into town for work by myself on an empty stomach. Got in at 2pm on a Thursday and there were almost no other people in the restaurant.
The short and sweet of it, they have right beers for the food you want eat. Sure the menu is short but it is what is good at the moment and they had a pizza that wasn't listed too and I am ok with it. The pizza was good to look at, the crust was thin and the ingredients were amazing, pork jaut on a pizza, booyah. The regular is big enough for one person, they have happy hour specials to boot if you want to sample some of different pies at a good price. -

This was my first time and I just wanted some good pizza for lunch...not duck or truffle or clam pizza. My husband and I shared the tomato/mozzarella/basil pizza and then went out for something else as sharing one doesn't fill you up. I wish they had more choices on their menu or a make-your-own type. Too expensive for the size I thought. $16 for a cheese pizza. It was good, but it's not a new favorite place.

Some of the best down to earth pizza in Seattle. They don't take reservations and you may have to share your table with another group/couple.

Tom Douglas means business. Other than the appetizers, the Serious Pie menu is pizza-centric.
We started with a kale salad, raw, lemony, crisp and whetted our appetites. Although we were just two wee gals, we ordered three pizzas. The roasted mushroom pizza with truffle cheese was my least favorite because it was so rich even though it was really delicious. The combination of the strong truffle and the heavy cheese was really heavy and we struggled to finish this one. The other pizza with pancetta and brussel sprouts was my favorite. Pork products and sprouts are best friends anyway so they played happy.Listed in: Pizza

Most REVIEWS let's go, peeps say it's yummy!! My friend drags me here.
Reading their menu feels like a list... The names make it sound so mouthwatering. But really the thin slice pizza only taste great the first bite... After that the bite taste so weakkkk! :T
It's like I am eating a piece of paper.
The pizza looks very edible and yummy but when you swallow it--your not very satisfied. Kind of sad..
The waiters here are patient and nice. Not a lot of room to sit.
Serious pie? How about seriously I need an upgrade on my pizza. The dough needs to be a little thicker and not too pricey please. -

After walking by Serious Pie many times, we finally were able to make it into here for dinner. The place is small and packed - really glad we came here early (around 5:30). If you're looking for a small table, this isn't the place for you, as it's mostly arranged as high bar tables that people share. One thing I do love - hooks under the each table for purses and other smaller items. It's a great way to keep things from knocking over or getting in the way in such a small space.
The prices here aren't cheap. The pizzas are on average in the $16-20 range. They aren't you standard round pizzas, more of an oval shape. The selection isn't huge, but it is pretty easy to find something for everyone. The duck confit pizza was a big hit at our table, as was the daily special with tomatoes and prosciutto. I don't know if this is standard, or it just happened to be the pizzas that we ordered, but most of the pizzas had a little kick to it - kind of like there was some chili powder that had been sprinkled onto the crust in the kitchen. The crusts were absolutely amazing; I would totally have loved to just eat the crusts as breadsticks any day of the week. The only thing I was less than happy about was that one of our pizzas did get a little too burnt to the point where I just couldn't finish my crust.
We also got two salads that I highly recommend - the honeycrisp apple salad (which comes with hazelnuts and blue cheese) and a kale salad. The apple salad was not you standard green salad with diced apples - it really was an apple salad, no greens. We were surprised when it showed up, but believe me, the quality of the apples and the taste are just *wow*. Both were portioned for sharing amongst two, but since there were four of us and two salads, we did manage to share between all of us. Salads seemed to run around $7-10 each.
I didn't have anything to drink, but the rest of the dinner party did. There seemed to be a good selection on tap. I think that I will definitely come back again - and maybe for happy hour (I hear pricing is way better during HH). The location is within easy walking from the Westlake Center and there are tons of parking garages (with reasonable evening rates) within a block making it easy to get to versus some of the other downtown restaurants.
The only thing I didn't like was our server. He was always looming, but never filling water glasses (I'm pregnant so all I do these days it seems is drink tons of water.). On more than one occasion I had to ask for water even though he had walked by and looked at our table multiple times and should have noticed that my glass was empty. One time I grabbed my hubby's water glass and started drinking out of there right in front of our server and all he did was ask 5 minutes later if my hubby wanted another beer. Uhm, how about some water dude?! -

Waited 3 hours to get a table here. It was not too bad because we went to McDonald's during the wait for cheeseburgers. After sitting down, we ordered the vegetarian pizza, the one without any meat. Waited about an hour for the pizza, and yes, it finally came. It was unique, but nothing too impressive. The crust is really fluffy and the toppings were tasty, not too much sauce so you can taste the flavor. Thing is, we only ordered one pizza for two people, not a good idea. It is not that filling, I suggest ordering one and a half for each person.
What was awesome though, was the waiter came by and said sorry for the hour wait for the food, this meal is comped. Wow, awesome dude! Never seen that before, where they just comp it on their own. Long wait, but really good service and setting.
Had to stop by the McDonald's after though for another cheeseburger, make sure to order more than one pizza. -
Review from Allison S.
Hacienda Heights, CA
We came on a very cold, windy, and rainy day, so business was a little slow. We had a light lunch consisting of their kale salad and sausage pizza. Both were great! I'm a huge fan of kale, and their's was done perfectly. It consisted of pinenuts, roasted peppers, and parmesean cheese in a lemony vinaigrette. So simple and delicious; definitely something I'm inspired to try at home. The sausage and roasted peppers pizza was nicely done, although I wouldn't say it's the best pizza I've ever had. I actually found it to be quite simple and ordinary, but just executed perfectly. A nice place for a causal lunch; I saw both business meals and family dining.

Review from Michael U.
Dublin, OH
With some great eating already in our rearview and more to come another between-meal stop would be at Tom Douglas' Serious Pie Downtown for Happy Hour - a fitting choice not only because the 3:00pm start would allow my sister and I a taste of the highly acclaimed pizza while affording us plenty of time to digest before the night's dinner at The Herbfarm but also because my mother and aunt could thereby get a good meal at a great price since they'd not be joining us for the night's extravagance.
Having heard that the space fills up quickly, especially for the discounted drinks and $6 personal pizzas our original goal was to arrive at Serious Pie as the Happy Hour began but unfortunately our amusement with the Fremont Troll and Archie McPhee plus a patch of bad traffic would delay our arrival till nearly 3:45, a time by which the restaurant was already full with a reported 45 minute wait during which my sister and I took a walk only to receive a text 20 minutes later that a communal 8-top was ready and that my mother and aunt were already seated (with particularly notable fantastic customer service assisting my aunt and her damaged Achilles' tendon through the crowded and tightly packed space.)
Having already noted the bustling nature of Serious Pie it would be mere moments before a young lady named Leyla would greet us and dropping off menus she stated she would "be right back" with water - a process that took perhaps ten minutes as it seemed she was the only server working our half of the room and when she returned we not only received our water but placed our orders as well - three happy hour pizzas, an impressively potent house aged root beer, and a diet coke, all of which would arrive less than fifteen minutes later as the restaurant became louder and even more crowded largely due to a particularly sizeable group near the bar.
With the pizzas arriving hot and bubbling from the large wood-fired oven, an oven that on my observation appeared to be able to turn out at least 6 pizzas at once, we were all quite amused by the small size and oblong shapes of the pies as each one was cut into 6 two-bite pieces with the puffy golden crust making up the better part of one of those bites, especially on the four "corner" pieces. Served on black slates big enough to hold one or two pies it would not take long before we decided to dig in and beginning first with the aforementioned crust I must say it was not precisely what I expected but quite good none the less with a slightly blistered underside giving rise to a dense and bready interior with a touch of sweetness and good chew without being "tough" - a bit like 'pan'-pizza from a national chain, but ever more pleasant and less dense to be sure.
Moving on to a discussion of the toppings our three pies would include "Buffalo Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Fresh Basil," "Soft egg, House made guanciale, arugula," and "Yukon gold potato, rosemary, pecorino" - all three featuring top notch ingredients in ample portions with the Margherita tangy and well seasoned, the egg a nice volley of creamy, savory, and bitter, and the potato and rosemary option a personal favorite largely because of the manner in which the lightly boiled potatoes provided just enough resistance to the tooth to be noticeable but otherwise served to lend their characteristic earthy body to the butter, hefty sprinkling of rosemary, and briny cheese.
Moving next to dessert but knowing the night was far from over for two of us we settled on one selection, my choice of the "Chocolate budino, sea salt, biscotti" - a dense chocolate pudding with a texture more smooth than mousse but less dense than panna cotta bespeckled with crunchy rocks of sea salt and a light lacquer of olive oil that added a fruity top note. Allotted only a couple bites each given the four spoons and rather small size I will say the thought crossed my mind to order another but deciding to show just a bit of restraint I instead took to using the warm and crunchy chocolate chip biscotti to wipe the jar clean while looking forward not only to our meal at The Herbfarm later than night but also another visit to a Tom Douglas spot the following day.Listed in: Best Pizza

Review from Julie H.

Well the results are in: Serious Pie is in some ways seriously good, and in other ways it's not so impressive. The pros did not outweigh the cons, nor did the cons sink this ship. The result is a mediocre review.
We went here for a group event. One of the perks of this is that they had stations in the "Workshop" where they let us make cheese, canoles and breadsticks. That's pretty cool, and it was a good time even though the filling for the canoles was a little too mascarpone-y.
The other perk? I didn't have to pay. If I did have to pay I would have been disappointed. Here's why:
1. The pizza is good in a we're-creative-with-our-pizza kind of way. There is a pizza with potato on it, think potatoes au gratin on crust, which is a carb double whammy. Tasty, but where's the meat or any kind of veg? Other than creativity the crust is the most delicious part. Even if you hate crust, you'll like this crust. The mushroom pizza tasted a little dirty, possibly due to an overabundance of truffle oil. I wouldn't want to pay that much for that pizza.
2. The staff seemed confused and not very friendly (read: annoyed by our presence). They shut down the whole place for us three hours earlier, but then would not let us in? Weird. This does not apply to the people in the "Workshop", they were awesome.
3. Some of the wine was just plain gross. I know, it's a pizza place, but it's also a Tom Douglas restaurant!
In the end they brought me back from the brink with a delicious salted chocolate desert and a coconut cream tartlet (Tom is famous for this coco-nutty goodness in my friend group!).
I'll be back for Serious Biscuits. -

I really enjoyed this place! Delicious pizza--their crust is to die for. We ordered the fennel sausage pizza but a potato pizza showed up first since our server missed entered our order so we got 2 for the price of 1! Sweet! We actually both liked the potato one better. Had a more delicate, appetizer feel and the sausage was heavier/greasier taste. We also ordered the apple salad with blue cheese and hazelnuts. YUM! Really tart and acidic but a perfect balance to a cheesy meal. Our server was really sweet and let us enjoy the experience. I would come back here happily. For a Sunday night, it was about a 10 minute wait to get seated.

Came here with my co-worker the other day for Happy hour. The happy hour pizza ($6 for happy hour) deals are good. Between the two of us, we ordered 4 pizzas and 2 appetizers. A lot, I know.
The standout for me was definitely the mushroom pizza and the clam with parmigiano pizza. The other pizza we tried were the butternut squash pizza and the fennel sausage pizza, but I didn't think those were anything to write home about. If you must pick one, I'll go for the clam with parmigiano pizza :) -

The hardest part about coming here though would have been deciding which pizza I was going to eat. Since I don't live here, I only had one shot to make it count. I was super pleased with my choice.
I ordered the fennel sausage pizza and nearly melted in my chair after taking the first bite. The crust that they make here is out of the world. The crust has the perfect amount of spring to it without being overly chewy and it's a bit dense so it's not as though you're only biting on air. Then there is the toppings and I was just lost and in love.
Tom Douglas, I think I might be in love with you. -

Serious Pie has the best pizza that I've ever had in my life. Yes, it is a little fancier than your typical pizza place, but definitely worth a try! They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait and wait, especially as it is not a large restaurant. If you take a Savor Seattle Tour, you can get 10-15% off here as they are on their partners list.

I was originally going to only give this place 4 stars, but it's been about a year since I've last been here and I still kinda dream about the place. We were fortunate enough to stay within walking distance to this place so we put an order for take out and quietly devoured the 2 pies in our room. Had we waited for the 45+ minutes I'm sure I would been writing a different type of review. Haha! Definitely a place to visit when you're in Seattle.

This is some serious pie.. Aside from the fact that the name reminds me of my favorite character from the Harry Potters series, this place is pretty damn serious about their pie. Great ingredients and different variations make for some interesting wheels.. This isn't your average pizza hut, so don't expect cheap but the price you pay for one pie is worth its weight in nommery goodness. Size on the other hand is something that I think could be improved upon. Taste excellent, price for size not so excellent.
The place is pretty teeny so if you plan on coming here, come early or go on off peak times.. be sure to try their happy hour.. small pies fpr $4 if i remember correctly.. I also was told there is another one on lake union so be sure to check on that one too.. Enjoy! -

Serious Pie was the most expensive snack, I had in Seattle. And I only had one pie which I shared with my 2 traveling partners. We ordered one pie and a starter since we were on a "snack" hopping thorough out Downtown Seattle.
We had the Sunchoke (it was an appetizer special) which was so new to my pallet I almost ate it all!
and the Margherita or Buffalo Mozzarella Pizza and it was quite delightful. Crunchy, saucy and covered in olive oil. It was a nice treat
It was a good snack for us. -

I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but since I can't, I will give it the benefit of the doubt. We walked right in (well 5 minute wait) on a recent trip to Seattle. The place is a little too dark for my tastes, and is pretty small. Service was decent, although it was a little slow at times.
My wife had some special pizza with olive oil, and some special pork, which was quite tasty, although it was burned at the edges. My pizza was a tasty sausage pizza. All the pizzas are more of a high end ingredient list, and are not your standard mozzarella, ham and pineapple. The pizzas were a good size for one, and definitely larger than your normal "pizza for one" at some places. I had a delicious soup which was on special as well.
Overall, the food was pretty good and the price was decent. -

I can't... for the life of me justify paying this much for pizza and having to sit so close to other people.
I guess I could have asked for a private table, but we were all pretty hungry and we had already waited enough.
I had their version of the Margherita pizza, my 99.99% of the time go-to pizza. It was delicious. It really was. But it was not $17-the-guy-beside-me-was-so-close-he-asked-me-if- I-was-a-hardcore-yelper-because-he-could-see-every thing-I-did-on-my-phone delicious. I'm sorry.
Maybe I should have tried the one with mushrooms and truffle cheese. -

If thin crusted pizza is what you like, than this is the place for you. I had three pizzas here and the best by far is the truffle. This is so amazing that no other pizza can compare to this. Personally I am deep dish kind of guy but after trying this it completely changed my mind. I've eaten pizza from Chicago and new york itself York and this is very comparable.
The only thing I would say that was not as great was seating. I really wish they had a little more room and space. Waiting time can be frustrating, but it is definitely a place that you have to go and try. -

My parents came into town for the first time in a long while and they had been dying to try Serious Pie. We had all heard great things about it and I am a HUGE fan of Tom Douglas restaurants, so needless to say we were pretty excited for dinner.
Wow, were we sorely disappointed. Tiny menu, skimpy on the pizza toppings and TERRIBLE crust. I understand woodfired pizza is more rustic and can have some dark or burnt spots, but this crust was CHARRED. It was black and super crumbly. There were huge bubbles in the crust, which meant the crust had disintegrated once it was burned to a crisp and we were left with giant pits of missing crust. The pizzas were so small! I could have easily finished an entire pizza by myself and they were ridiculously over priced for the tiny portion and skimpy toppings you got. I ordered a pizza that had mushrooms as one of the toppings and there were 2 (yes, count them, 2!!) mushrooms on the entire pizza.
I was so, so, so disappointed with this place and its hard for me to write that because I love Tom Douglas restaurants so much. We'll never go back to Serious Pie. -
Review from Suzanne J. C.

A hot tip from my Savor Seattle tour guide sent me looking for Tom Douglas restaurants, and the Yelp app on my ladywife's phone sent us to Serious Pie. We certainly weren't disappointed, but I wasn't as bowled over as the lady was.
The space charmed both of us from the very beginning, with its open kitchen and warm fire and tall tables. Nothing felt gimmicky, either. That's the mark of a good design: novel without gimmicks. Charming. It's a small restaurant, and I'm not sure how accessible it would be for people with mobility issues. (See below for more notes.)
The staff and servers were on top of their game, delivering relaxed service that was really on-point. The only gaff was beer recommendations from our server. She didn't actually know what she was talking about, but I didn't realize she'd been faking it until the beer showed up. They were gracious enough to switch my beer (which was not an amber as promised but a stout) for an actual amber. Much better. I wish the server had pleaded ignorance at the get-go, however.
My wife cheated a little bit and read some highlights before we sat down so she knew to order the pizza with the potatoes on it. I balked at potato pizza and regret it a bit. My pie was good but not as stunning as hers. (I still love you, honey! Please continue to use your Yelp app for good!)
Were I a local, this place would be in my rotation. They do a good wood-fired pie, and the crust has an interesting wheaty tang to it. Lovely, just lovely. Still, eat in to enjoy the fresh crisp texture from the fire.
Accessibility notes: Space is very dark. No braille menu or signage. Three steps down into dining area. High tables. Open flame. -
Review from Jen T.
I'm pretty shocked that this is a Tom Douglas restaurant.
Went here for HH after work- I was super excited for their new SLU location.
I got the roasted chantrelle with truffle oil pizza....there was absolutely nothng special about this pizza. Flavor tasted like it was just bread drizzled with alot of truffle oil.
Half of the pizza was burnt- both the crust and the bottom - black.
the edible part (center of the pizza) was tiny.
For a $6 HH pizza- I will be spending my HH time elsewhere. -

Pros:
-Really yummy food - it was so good we ordered 1 more pie
-They make it right in front of you & you see it cooking in the oven
-Has nice ambiance
Cons:
-Expensive
-Small, not a lot of seats - the tables are joined together, so you may eat with other parties -

The pizzas are good, but could've been a lot better. I love the high quality ingredients and creative combos. They're stingy with the chanterelles and meat, but generous with cheaper toppings like egg and greens. The crust is great if you like it paper thin with huge air pockets. Somehow we ended up with an overbaked crust that was not very chewy.
I was looking at one pizza and thinking "Ooh, chocolate crust." Nope, not chocolate, it's soot! If this happens to you, ask them to replace the pizza. Don't be passive like me and suffer eating a badly burnt pie that tasted like ash. -

My girlfriend and I tried Serious Pie not too long ago. While the food was good. Nothing else seemed to impress me. Like many posts says, its a small area and you do sit on top of people. The place is way over priced for the amount of pizza you get. $17 can get you a large pizza and pop and bread sticks at most pizza joints. Not here. I say closer to half of a small pizza. I feel like this is one of those places where everyone in the Seattle area has to like it cause it's "Tom Douglas." Pizza Ragazzi in the U-District and Pegasus Pizza on Alki all taste better and you get a lot more for your money.

Tried two pizzas during happy hour, one with pulled pork on it, the other with pepperoni and sausage. The pulled pork pizza was very mediocre, with a strange meat but sweet taste. It wasn't quite salty enough to get a good flavor, though. The pepperoni and sausage pie was fantastic on the other hand, I would definitely order it again.

This is one of my favorite places to eat and they're so close, talk about neighborhood eats! This place is always packed, so get your name down on the list ASAP and be prepared to wait. I love the thin crust, fresh ingredients and innovative toppings. The appetizers could be bigger, but I never really get anything except pizza here. The special changes daily, if you want something added (like meat) just ask and they can add this for you for a small fee. They also do take out!

It's been a while since I've Yelped...Ahh, don't hurt me!! =(
I honestly had no idea what to expect when my friend told me we were going to Serious Pie for lunch. I'm rather adventurous when it comes to food (as long as it's not spicy) and I'd be down for anything and I probably wouldn't ask too many questions until I actually get to the restaurant.
We walked into the restaurant. Small-ish, quaint, comfy, nice ambiance. I like it already! Honestly, it did seem like a pretty serious place. That might actually be because we went on a weekday during lunch hour in downtown Seattle... it was crowded with businessmen and women in their business outfits. Serious Pie was very serious that day.
I wouldn't worry too much. You don't have to go their in a full business outfit or anything. I was dressed very casually and it was just fine.
Here's a shocker, they don't really serve pie...it's PIZZA! I mean, I knew that Pizza can also be called Pie, but it wasn't a term I used very often to call pizza. So when my friend said "Pie" I thought ...well...pies. Shepherds Pie, Apple pie, ya know....pies!
Anyways, we ordered and shared the Yukon gold potato, rosemary, pecorino for $16. It was amazing. Absolutely great! So fresh! They were definitely "serious" about making their pizzas taste really unique and it pays off
Why 4 stars then? Well, the place is small...a little too small. I felt like I was sharing my conversation with the next table over. It's kind of a big issues for me... I like having one-on-one conversations and not feel nervous about what the next table can hear and I definitely don't want to be interrupted by their conversation either.
Other than that, I'd highly recommend for anyone to go and try their PIES!
