Zaw Pizza, coming soon to Mercer Island and sooner to Wallingford.

The folks from Zaw Pizza get in touch to say plans are in motion for a kitchen on the Eastside, the first for the you-bake-it biz–starved region. The new spot is slated for a late October opening in Tabit Village Square, on Southeast 27th Street.

In addition to its about-to-open Wallingford storefront (the grand hurrah is Saturday), the local pie chain currently operates in five locations: Capitol Hill, Ballard, South Lake Union, Queen Anne, and Wedgwood.

Posted by: Christopher Werner on Jan 03, 2011 at 01:06PM 2 Comments

Zaw Pizza is set to open in Wedgwood January 10.

Another year, another pizzeria for Zaw.

The Seattle company is bringing its brand of healthful, sustainable-driven pizzas to 7320 35th Ave NE in Wedgwood. Same deal as at the other four Zaw locations: purchase the pie in-house, bake it at home, do the planet some good.

A release puts the opening date at January 10.

An Entire Chicken Dinner on a Pizza

Compliments of Zaw.

A chicken dinner pizza, from Zaw

The latest seasonal pie from Zaw Artisan Bake-at-Home Pizza is an entire chicken dinner on a pizza crust.

I’m going to let that sink in a minute.

They’re calling it their Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. There’s a picture of it, see?One of Zaw’s cooks, Anthony, put wine-marinated cranberries and roasted free-range chicken breast and housemade thyme-shallot gravy atop a thin schmear of Alvarez Farms mashed potatoes, along with mozzarella and feta cheese.

I haven’t yet sampled this pie—might be good with a Jones Turkey and Gravy soda—but that’s beside the point. The point, the truly weird point, is that this pie is not the only menu item in town that goes by the name of Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, a saying said to have originated as a casino call-phrase.

At his latest restaurant, Seatown Seabar and Rotisserie, Tom Douglas calls his plate of rotisserie chicken with dripping potatoes and braised greens Winner Winner Chicken Dinner too.

Or did, on his opening menu. The website lists it now as Northwest Free Range Chicken.
