Restaurant Review: Serious Pie

Restaurant:	Serious Pie
Cuisine:	Pizza
Rating:	Adequate
Price:	about $10 per person
Location:	316 Virginia Street, Seattle
Website:	tomdouglas.com/restaurants/serious-pie/

Without question, the unique characteristic of Serious Pie is the uncharacteristic list of pie toppings: soft egg, dandelion greens, delicata squash? After I glanced over the menu, I decided to go with the special of the day... a pizza topped with venison sausage and caramelized onions. I dined for lunch with a friend and he ordered the roasted chantrelle mushroom and truffle cheese pizza. As a beverage, I ordered up a root beer. My friend ordered up a bottle of cane-sugar-sweetened Coca-Cola (Hecho en Mexico). Nice option.

There is only one size of pizza sold at Serious Pie and we were informed each pie is intended to "serve one person", e.g. "personal". But really, each pie is enough to serve 1.5 persons. A single pizza is just a bit too much for 1 person, but too small for two. I failed in my attempt to consume my pizza, it was just too big. Perhaps we should have ordered a salad to share and a pizza to share instead(?)... our neighbors to my immediate left (and by "immediate" I mean they were literally sitting next to us on the same table) ordered a salad and a pizza, both to share. Probably a good way to go for the next visit.

The establishment is a true charcuterie. The venison sausage on my pizza was made on-site and we observed several other sausages, pancetta, and other meats curing behind the counter on the way out. Impressive.
