Washington: Specialty Pizza at Rocco’s in Seattle
Last year, a pizzeria opened in the Belltown section of Seattle serving up fresh, homemade pies just like Nonna used to make (if Nonna’s name was Rocco). As a rule, they make as much as possible in-house, including the ricotta, for their many specialty pizzas. Since Belltown is full of night owls, they’re open until 2 AM, and since this is Seattle, there are plenty of options for vegetarians, vegans and the gluten-intolerant. For something a little unusual, try the sliced pears, gorgonzola and arugula. Not just a sit-down joint, Rocco’s is not snobby about selling any of their pizzas by the slice. But sit down and stay awhile, and get a whole pie and a few of their excellent cocktails.
