proletariat pizza

good food, horrendous service. if you're going to keep people waiting for over 45 minutes, you might at least stop by the table and ask if they want something else to drink. it wasn't even crowded so no excuse.

when i think of white center, great pizza doesn't usually come to mind, but maybe now it will. our visit to proletariat pizza was a successful one. our dinner was satisfying, fun, and i'm happy we checked it out. if you have kids and you adore pizza, then this spot is for you. a full bar, even? yes! plus, there's video games, a photo booth in the back, and even a play area. yes, this restaurant was the hit. but even better than all that was the star of the show, the pizza. this had to be some of the best ever. the crust was thin and the pepperoni was high quality. it was the pizza of my dreams.

excellent and very unique pizzas! steve went here and we got a potato pizza. i know that sounds very unusual. i haven't come across it in my restaurant visits but it was wonderful! it was almost like potatoes au gratin on cooked pizza dough. very delicious!

service was very good and a fun and quirky atmosphere makes proletariat pizza a great place to go for those of you who are looking for new takes on the same old hum drum pizza or are pizza aficionados.

such delicious pizza - but what a shame that their service was sub-par. 'the favorite' was every bit delicious as expected with just-right heat from mama lil's peppers and perfectly seasoned house made sausage. my favorite, however, was the potato with all the right amounts of thinly sliced potato, gorgonzola and cheese on an otherworldly crust. if they up their customer service game, they'd max out the tastymeter. nobody likes to wait 30 minutes for pickup at the promised time.

rip off at full price. used to have an awesome happy hour and now they went cheap on everything. don't bother going here, not worth it

x- new yorker. if i close my eyes when i am biting into a slice i can swear i'm back in new york! the best new york pizza outside of new york city!

the best crust!!!. this pizza... is amazing! the crust is seriously the best that i've ever had. wish they had more room... there are times when you have to wait for a table, (obviously great pizza!!!) but it's usually not too bad. i would recommend proletariat to any pizza lover : )

the only pizza place i'll frequent!. so many things to love about proletariat. just a few miles from my house, and totally worth a short drive past the lesser pizza establishments...it's usually pretty crowded, but we've never had to wait long for a seat. the pizza is fresh and tasty, their salad with the garbanzo beans is awesome, and they have cheap, blue collar beer as well as the fancier local stuff! (i would normally support the local beer manufacturers but i like my beer light and watery, just like grandpa used to drink). also very kid friendly! those of us with kids know how stressful it can be to dine out with them, but not here! they have a cool little play area to entertain the kids while you wait for your dinner to arrive (which won't take long!). the people-watching is good too and the owners are very friendly and helpful. get ice cream at full tilt across the street afterward!

fresh, good pizza.. they make a very good, no frills pizza. what i mean by that is, there aren't a million specialty pizzas on their menu. the toppings available are pretty basic. but, the dough is fresh and the toppings are fresh (and mostly local). overall, they make a pretty darn tasty pizza! not the best, but pretty good! after 6pm this tiny little pizzeria is packed full of families with little ones. it can be hard to get a table, sometimes. if we can't make it in time for their happy hour, we call for take out. it is a family friendly, family owned restaurant.

here, for example, is a slice (arugula and egg) from proletariat pizza in west seattle. i like the people and the pies, and would gladly eat here again, though i wouldn’t call proletariat my favorite. i do appreciate the seasonal ingredients and the use of shepherd’s grain flour in the dough they make daily.

i could see why proletariat get's such high ratings from even the toughest pizza snobs: the pizza's are unique, flavorful, loaded with toppings, well made, and served with a smile.

props -continued. nov 7, 2010 update: proletariat pizza's phone number is on speed-dial, i've had gastronomical relations with almost half the pies on their standard menu without getting fat as a tick, and by year end i expect to have their hours of operation committed to memory. one of a dozen reasons i am so glad i bought in west seattle and a new reason to regret not inching closer to white center (so i could walk to proletariat). this pizza gives my annoyingly over sensitive and often disappointed senses a reason to live. couple proletariat's pizza quality and consistency with their thrifty priced growlers, refilled with rotating local brews of such flavor and quality that they'll wreck most any beer-marriage you've lowered your expectations for, and you could have what i now have -a reliable, affordable and legal source of simple happiness and pleasure.
proletariat pizza (pp) owners or managers may be paying attention to the reviews and feedback provided by their constituency because the sauce is perfect now, just like the dough and the toppings. this inspires my next selfishly motivated attempt to influence them, in order to improve my dine-in experience (which i recognize that they may or may not want but here it goes...). i will launch a campaign of my fellow proletariat pizza groupies, whom i choose to refer to as 'pp's children of the pie,' to bring in a low watt 'earthbulb' to collectively help pp replace the incandescent bulbs in dining areas lighting fixtures that burn out my retinas every time i visit the establishment.

sept 18, 2010: proletariat get props for 1) hand thrown dough 2) real soda (no hfcs), 2) fearless location and 4) kick'n body art. makes me want to go get my face tatted. i did worry a little about my car, hoping some dick head wouldn't bust a window for the out-dated garmin or my stash of grocery bags. going there during the summer was a sweat lodge so it might be good spot to sweat out a hangover. the pizza dough was thin and chewy with a little char on the crust. the flavor of the sauce and cheese was (don't hit me) bland. i bet a some anchovy mash and fresh basil would pep it right up. they've def got the best pie so far (sans the early days of zeeks before the dough quality management tanked).

new york neapolitan?. prosciutto, soft egg, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce and a new york pizza style dough. nice, simple ideas with good ingredients. certain would try it again. also had the margherita which was very good. nothing mind blowing, but certainly very good.
