delancey

top 5 in seattle pizza but not the top. definately worth a try. but for those in search of the perfect pizza, this is not it. perhaps it was all the hype but i was underwhelmed. still, as far as seattle za goes, this ranks a solid b+.

worth the wait. for those with a deep appreciation for pizza

pretty darn good food.... delancey was a fun place for a wednesday night date. sure, there was a bit of a wait, but that's ok. you can put in your phone number and show up later when they call you. seems like a pretty good solution to me!

i know this place headlines its pizza, which was good, but the highlight for me was the salad and deserts. the jersey salad with the housemade dressing was amazing. i ate mine and half of another's. and, the roasted carmel apple desert was unreal. i could eat that every day and never get tired of it.

i also really appreciated the quality of service. i found the attitude of the hostess to be fine, and our waitress was phenomenal.

the price point was fine, and the price point on the wines by the bottle was actually quite nice. good quality wines with character at an affordable price.

finally, you must try the rachel's ginger beer. best i've ever had.

seriously?. an hour and a half to wait for a table for pizza? isn't the actual cooking time around 8 minutes? over it.

all about the dough. we were torn between delancey and another pizza joint and determined to give it a go. we waited the inevitable hour, and the wait was well worth it. the joint is more simple (design-wise) than i anticipated, but quite charming. i imagine a tourist would believe they found a "local" joint here. the pizzas were tasty - the sauces sweet - the dough divine. a crusty mix of flaky and almost doughy. loved it, although the chefs may kill me to know i added salt to every bite. great salt, though. not my favorite pizza in the world, but worth the wait.

burnt pizza. they have no idea how to cook in the wood stove, the two times i have been there the pie was burnt so bad it was inedible, and the pizza is skimpy and way overpriced.

over rated. most of the seattle mags. (stranger, seattle weekly) have praised this as the second coming of pizza. it is just not the case. i my opnion it is no better then tutta bella. i like both places. they both are very good and would not protest in going back. the wait could be a killer.

olive oil bursting tomato-y goodness. we entered the restaurant at 8:05pm on a sunday night and were greeted with a sweet smile by the hostess. there was a 15 minute wait, which we thought was a sign of a good restaurant. the salad was the perfect size and super light and refreshing. the tomato pizza sauce was so amazing, it tasted as if the tomatoes has just been picked fresh off the vine minutes before being spread over my pizza. i got the margaritta and i loved the bites of, olive oil bursting goodness that hid under the melted fresh mozzarella and basil. such simple yet high quality ingrediants, if you closed your eyes during a bite, you could be in naples. i loved it and can't wait to go back. oh and the bittersweet chocolate chip cookie with gray salt was sooooo good. fun!

i finally made it to delancey. this was long overdue. following my recent foray to flying squirrel , i was ready. with a group of six people, we'd be able to sample six pizzas - and a whole lot more. pre-pizza, it's nice to have some nibbles, and as compa

really?? its just pizza. not worth it, it's just pizza and not that good for what it takes to get in. they claim the nyc connection is what drives them. no where in nyc will you find a pizza place that has 1-2 hour wait, cost as much or people that are so full of themselves. come on guys its pizza. if you live in the area and can walk there, wait for a long time for pizza, pay a lot and feel good about self centered staff you may like this place. if you have to drive to get there, try somewhere else.

i travel a lot and have many opportunities to enjoy fine pizza and this is not the place. really guys you are pizza throwers lose the attitude, clean the place up, add take out options, and make real pizza.

just ok. i've been trying to go to delancey for months now, but could never bear the 1+ wait on your typical evening. tonight, i ventured over to the restaurnt at 4:45 and lined up with several other people. how crazy is that??

the service was great - the ambiance was cozy and comfortable. the beet salad was really incredible, though i was pretty disappointed to see the burrata app wasn't on the menu. the pizza was just ok. crust could have been crispier on the bottom, though the chewy top was pretty nice, despite being a little burnt.

we tried four pizzas at our table:
margherita ... very saucy and hardly any cheese. bland
crimini ... bland.
procuitto - good meat
pepperoni ... probably the most flavorful at the table, but that's not saying much

we closed out the evening with one of the famed chocolate chip cookies with grey salt ... good (i mean, how bad can you make a chocolate chip cookie), but the salt wasn't very pronounced and for $4, i was expecting a little more "wow" factor.

the end bill for our table was over $110 (with just one drink each). pretty spendy for pizza that's is just mediocre.

i think this would be a great neighborhood spot, if you could actually walk in on any given night. overall, it's good but definitely not worth all the hype.

fantastic food and lovley atmosphere. after returning from a trip in italy and stuffing myself with pizza on a daily basis, i came back to seattle and was so very excited to try out delancey. i was not disappointment. my group and i got a few different kinds of pizza and shared them all. this was a good plan for us because it gave us the option to have a variety of the very creative kinds of pizza that were offered at delancey. i would recommend this dinner spot to anyone who loves good food and a cozy atmosphere! just make sure you show up early because the wait can be a while.

may have a future. i agree that they are full of themselves, but i like supporting young people who are trying to make a success of their business. i have constructive criticism, and hope they are reading reviews. pizza dough and sauce are authentic, but crust is way too thin, and pizza is way overdone (there were many burnt places on my pizza, so half of it was inedible). i noticed all the other pizzas around me looked the same. how about taking it out of the oven a little earlier? also, very chintzy on the mozzarella. i wanted the prosciutto pizza, and knowing how weird u.s. places that pretend they know how to make napoletano pizza are, i asked if they actually cook the prosciutto on the pizza. as i suspected, she said no, and "why" (i disagree as to the "why" & will spare you the details). but, the waitress was good...no complaints for the poor dear. nobody in italy puts crude/cold meats on their pizzas. here's how you do it...make the crust a little thicker to actually support some toppings, put on sauce and a drizzle of olive oil--this is what gets everything cooking evenly on the pizza, then add the meat, and finally the mozzarella, enough to cover the meat. the pizza i had was not worth $14, since there was very little mozzarella, but they did let the prosciutto cook onto it, so i appreciated that. also, it was hard to find the place because they have no sign on the storefront, and zero ambiance. even the smallest of bank loans could have helped them spruce the place up a little. you have to look for the poor schmucks waiting in line to find the front door. i won't be waiting in line again, sorry to say. but, i do hope they improve, and if i read signs of that in others' reviews past mine, i might try it again. being from an italian family who's lived in italy, i can tell you that if you're looking for something like that, at least for now, it doesn't come close enough. oh, and, they don't do takeout? what kind of pizza place doesn't do takeout, especially when they don't have that many tables? oh, i forgot...they're full of themselves.

gourmet goodness. it's not often you're going to see wild boar bacon and chanterelle mushrooms atop a white pizza pie. the selection of odd toppings along with the tasty, if a bit doughy crust, make delancey worth a visit or two. very kid-friendly. open and light interior decor. go early or expect to wait for one of a dozen tables.

another pizza review. killer crust, chewy charry crispy woody goodness. different than but in the same league as serious pie (says a lot). sauce was good to ok...little too runny and bright but not multidimensional.
biggest complaint was the uninspired list of pizza combinations. come on and get creative with some fresh local goodness as it is harvest season.
ambiance - not much. looks like they had to hurry to open the doors and slacked on everything in sight. look around and you'll see halfassery everywhere. for the prices they charge i wish it was nicer. when i don't want to head downtown to serious pie this is the best runner up.
