More pizza – and this time it's free
Cody December 22nd, 2008
I think it must be some new inverse law of the universe: every time a Scandinavian in Ballard dies, he is reincarnated as a pizza joint. There’s no doubt that the atomic-grade bomb of pizza restaurants exploding in the neighborhood lately has left every Ballardite scratching their heads trying to figure out just how all this Italian-ness has gotten into the water, not to mention trying to figure out how they all these new places expect to distinguish themselves from one another.
So here’s what’s different about the one opening today, ‘Zaw, at Leary and Market: the pizza here, at least for today and tomorrow, is FREE. And, instead of ordering it up all hot and melty, what you get here is a made-to-order unbaked pie that you take home and cook yourself.
On Monday, December 22nd and Tuesday, December 23rd, the first 100 people in the door after 4:30 p.m. will get a free half-size pizza and Jones Soda to take home. The Seattle based mini-chain (with two other locations on Capitol Hill and South Lake Union), boasts 100 percent organic crust made from Bob’s Red Mill flours, in traditional, whole wheat or gluten-free versions. The signature sauce is made from organic ruby red tomatoes, and the beverages run the local gamut from Fish Tale Organic Ales to Snoqualmie organic wines and take-home six packs of other microbrews.
You can even order your pie online and have it delivered by bicycle. Just remember you still have to tip the delivery guy when it shows up cold.
SWEET!
