Olympic Pizza and PastaB-Worth Trying

6413 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115 · Pizza restaurant · 4.6/5 Google (468 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

Neighborhood pizza-and-pasta spot with creative fusion pies and late-night hours; quality is often good but consistency and service hiccups mean expectations should be casual.

Why it gets a B- for overall quality

Olympic Pizza delivers solid neighborhood appeal with reliable food quality and notably fast service, earning a loyal following for late-night comfort dining. However, variable execution—swings between excellent and undercooked pies—prevents a higher grade, while the functional but dated setting limits destination appeal. Worth visiting for creative fusion pizzas and generous portions, though expect occasional inconsistency.

Restaurant Summary

A friendly Roosevelt hangout where pizza by the slice meets hearty pastas, Olympic draws a steady stream of neighbors for late-night comfort food. Staff are often praised as warm and quick, and on a good night pies come out with crisp crusts and fresh-tasting toppings. Some diners rave that it is among their favorites in Seattle, while others counter with inconsistent execution and a dated room. The cooking leans classic with a playful streak. Expect pepperoni and Margherita alongside Tikka Masala or Mango Habanero pies, plus crowd-pleasing grinders and big bowls of Alfredo. The culinary approach leans contemporary and fusion-friendly: recognizable comfort dishes with global-leaning sauces rather than fine-dining theatrics. Portions are generous and prices land in the moderate bracket, though variability in bake and seasoning can make value feel uneven. Families do well here thanks to pizza by the slice, plain pastas, and chicken tenders. The menu has several vegetarian choices and a couple of vegan-leaning salads, but gluten-free specifics are unclear. For picky eaters, stick to cheese or basic toppings and skip the bolder fusion sauces; for adventurous kids, a small slice of the tikka pie can be a fun test without committing to a whole specialty pizza.
