The food writers at the Seatlle Times like the way the new Peel & Press pizzeria takes pizza seriously.

Not in that skimpy, minimalist way, says seattletimes.com, but in the lay-it-on-thick way that anyone who’s from the East Coast will appreciate. Food writer Susan Kelleher goes on to describe pizzas arriving hot from the kitchen covered with ribbons of peppers and enough sausage to make a light meal of one slice.

Peel & Press offers pasta dishes, salads and tasty appetizers like bruschetta.
