    A dark corner, a cold beer, pinball.

    my fave pizza to be found in Ballard proper (Pizza Passion/Greenwood being my first choice for delivery)... hide in the back if you aren't up for being overwhelmed by the rug-rats...
  • willowboo
    My greek salad was excellent, but the waitress was plum rude!
  • Listen, quit whining willowboo and trevista: order for delivery and avoid the ankle-biters, because hot pie delivered by hot biker boys/gals just ain't
    a bad deal, plus it supports a sustainable neighborhood and undriving in Ballard: http://undriving.blogs.sustainableballard.org.
    We all have choices, and Snoose is a good one. Don't miss out!

    best pizza in ballard. yup! one of the coolest companies too - family oriented, green oriented, etc. and nw source agrees. They just won nominated awards for best 'za in Seattle.

    I like this place because 1) we can walk to Market; 2) there are the toys for children; and 3) the pizza is decent; and 4) the eco-effort is great (re-used materials, bicycle delivery, (composting??)). The biggest problem I have with Snoose Junction is the staff. It is very hit or miss with them (with or without the children in tow).

    I LOVE SNOOSE JUNCTION! I really love the bike delivery to my home and the people are so cool and decent. I am a picky orderer. I like it cooked just so, not stretched as normal because it is soooo good just a touch thicker/chewier, and the Cesear Salad dressing with the shaved parm. is yummy. If I don't need a whole pie, I go in for a slice or three and they are HUGE. My little boy likes (a lot) the old school archade games in the back, I like the BIG generous sized booths to stretch out in and enjoy the food and vibes. Great addition to my neighborhood.

    Best pizza after 12am! Have to love the red delivery bike out front too!
  • Terrific pizza, and the best by-the-slice I've had in Seattle.

    while the pizza was delish, I have a do problem with a pizza joint that states on their menu "can't decide? we'll gladly do half and half" and then charges $2 to do it. when we asked our very courteous and professional waiter, he wasn't aware of the policy either but the manager filled him in on the dirty little secret. Lame.

    Sorry but Snoose pizza sucks. Go to Veracci for good pizza by the slice. The only good thing about Snoose is that it's open late so you can get a cheap slice on the way home from the bar and after a few drinks you don't notice that it's bad pizza.
  • Yessnoose
    Snoose and Veracci make two different kinds of pizza. There's no way Snoose pizza sucks! I come here for lunch and take the fam in at night.

    Terrible. Look no further then the choice of ovens- a conveyor belt!!! They are obviously not concerned about the quality of their pizza, and are on par with other conveyor belt oven pizza places: pizza hut, papa john's, little ceasars, etc.

    This also shows in the crust, toppings quality, etc.
  • Come ON!
    Do conveyor belts now come with people and long wooden sticks to pull pizzas out of the oven? I am startled at the revelation. Never trust anyone over !!!
  • david t.
    This is some of the worst pizza I've ever had. No flavor, awful crust and cheap cheese. What's up with the conveyor belt sending the pizza through an oven? That's like a Domino's pie. Yuck!
  • david t.
    Worst pizza I've had. Once it comes off the belt, the sauce is flavorless, the crust like cardboard and the cheese cheap. Yuck! I don't know how they stay busy, either people don't know pizza, or the old saying is correct: Location, location, location.
  • mark ball
    To MB and David T,
    I can only believe that you work for another local pizza house considering you both try to point out that we use conveyor ovens when in fact we proudly use Bakers Pride Deck Ovens. So as far as the rest of your criticisms, I gotta think that you're about as credible as our last president - what was his name? Not worth remembering, that's right!
  • Ballardlove
    Give me a break Mark Ball bringing up Bush we're talking pizza here not politics. I don't care how the pizza is made or what special ovens Snoose uses the result is the same...bad pizza!
  • SteveD
    Only had the pasta's at Part Dieu on Greenwood.
    Spaghetti Bolonase was very good as was the cheese calzone. Beecher mac and cheese was very tasty but the portion was ridiculously small and expensive for an entree. Lower the price or give a larger portion (everybody love mac & cheese!).
  • ExiledBrit
    So I'm a hardcore Pagliacci fan, but props to the 'Snooze, they serve up a mean (trans: good) slice on the way back from the Tractor/Sunset at 1am...

    Affordable, big slices, crispy base, tasty sauce and fresh ingredients thoughtfully combined without pomp or circumstance (c'mon - "zaw", get over yourselves) make this a must visit for a slice of late night dining goodness - and did I say affordable?
  • wunderkuken
    bar none, the WORST pizza i have ever had. Frozen Totino's is a significantly better option if I had to choose between the two, no question. Cardboard-esque crust, et al. We are voracious eaters and clear our plates - couldn't bring ourselves even close on our visit here, and begged them to keep our leftovers. Perhaps it's their late hours that keep them afloat (all the other decent restaurants around are closed)??
  • regreb
    With so many "bad pizza" votes, how does this place rank 3.5 stars? We went on a packed Friday eve - not the place for kid-phobics: they were all over making noises, messes, bumping and fussing, but hey I was no angel in restaurants back when. We thought the pizza was very good.
  • nwkitty
    Have loved in the past and would have given Snoose 4.5. The menu has recently changed and gone down hill. Not sure what the problem is. Maybe the economy and trying to save money???? Only giving a 2 because of my last meal there.
  • gnomie
    Had the Pizza here once and it's not my favorite. My major beef is the bicycle delivery people seem to disobey every law in the book.
    I see them run through the light at 24th and market, making left turns onto the crosswalks from the left turn lane at a red light so they end up riding onto the crowded sidewalk and the wrong side of the road.
    You can have the best pizza in town but if you persist I will be cramming a stick in your spokes.
