proletariat pizza

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 isfreshand 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 isfreshand the toppings arefresh(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.

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 andfreshbasil 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).
