Post Alley Pizza is a pizzeria in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1][2]
Description
Post Alley Pizza is a pizzeria in downtown Seattle. In addition to pizza, the menu has included English muffin sandwiches; the restaurant has served BEC, sausage, and vegetarian varieties, as well as one with bacon, cashew butter, roasted delicata squash, and honey.[3] Other ingredients for Italian sandwiches included sesame hoagie rolls, finocchiona salami, spicy coppa, ham, provolone, red onion, and slaw. "Hoagie jazz”, an anchovy spread with calabrian chiles and garlic, was served on the side.[4]
History
Marc Russell owned the business for three years, as of 2015.[5] Andrew Gregory and Yasuaki Saito are co-owners, as of 2022.[6][7]
In 2021, Post Alley Pizza collaborated with Ben's Bread on a French bread pizza.[8] The two businesses co-hosted a French-bread-pizza pop-up at now-defunct The London Plane,[9] where Saito was also a co-owner.[6][10][11]
Reception
Post Alley Pizza was named the "best pizza hideaway" in Seattle Weekly's 2006 "best bites" overview. The newspaper said the pizzeria "remains the industry standard for food, service, and ambiance. It is the one place on earth where the special is legitimately 'special.' With a different one each day... these things are so good that you don't even have to know what the day's special is before ordering it; the only trick is to get there before they run out".[12] In Seattle Weekly's 2018 list of the 10 best "Seattle bites" under $10, Seth Sommerfeld wrote:
While Seattle may not be a mecca of by-the-slice pizza, Post Alley Pizza is well worth the trek to its tucked-away nook in the Central Business District. While you can't go wrong with the New York-style basics, including a near-perfect sauce/cheese ratio and crisp crust, the array of unpredictable daily specials make Post Alley stand apart from its peers. Any day might feature BBQ chicken pizza, bacon and potato slices, a pepperoni, onion, and jalapeno combo, some overloaded veggie creation, or basically whatever suits the chef's current mood.[13]
Jake Uitti ranked the pizzeria seventh place in The Stranger's 2018 "pizza pie face off", a search for Seattle's best slice.[14] In 2020, Jackie Varriano included the business in The Seattle Times' list of four "great spots to grab a scrumptious breakfast sandwich" in the Seattle metropolitan area,[15] and Aimee Rizzo included Post Alley Pizza in The Infatuation's list of 10 "great meals" for $10 in Seattle.[16] In 2022, Rizzo included the Italian sandwiches in a list of the city's "best sandwiches to take on a boat"[4] and also included Post Alley Pizza in an overview of Seattle's best pizza. In the latter, she opined:
This spot works really well if you're downtown and in need of a quick lunch slice you can trust, or you need a few reliable New York-style pies for a birthday party. Be sure to add sides of ranch and homemade calabrian chili buffalo sauce for dunking, and what's even more exciting is that this place offers granulated garlic to shake on your slice—a necessity that we haven't been able to find at any other pizza place in town.[17]
Post Alley Pizza was included in Eater Seattle's 2021 overview of "breakfast sandwiches in Seattle worth waking up early to get".[3] In 2022, the website's Jade Yamazaki Stewart included the business in an overview of "where to find exceptional pizza in Seattle" and list of 20 "great" restaurants near Pike Place Market.[18][19] Allecia Vermillion included Post Alley Pizza in Seattle Metropolitan's 2022 list of 13 "exceptional" breakfast sandwiches.[20] Portland Monthly called the pizzeria a "star newcomer" in 2023.[21]
