First Look: Ballard Pizza Company
Ballard Ave’s new pizza destination will open its doors next week.
Hanging above the front door is a highly visual reminder that pizza comes by the slice.
The interior isn’t unlike Staple and Fancy: exposed brick, aged wood, and a long open kitchen and counter.
The space has a row of tables, as well as two waist-high slabs of reclaimed wood where customers can stand for a quick slice and a pint.
The roll-up garage door is also Staple and Fancy–esque, and should see some serious use in the summertime.
Presumably the chalkboards will list menu items by the time opening day arrives, but meanwhile the drawing of a guy downing a giant slice of pizza is pretty enjoyable.
The eight beers on tap currently include excellent locals like Two Beers, Chuckanut, and Hilliard’s. As well as Ren-yay, of course. Ballard Pizza Co. will pour two tap wines from Proletariat, but the restaurant also has a full list of Italian and Northwest wines.
An envy-inducing reclaimed old door.
Some fragments of vintage pin-up girls provide some eye candy outside the walk-in.
The restaurant will open some time next week.
