Stellar Pizza & Ale   

The SceneTucked in Seattle's south end, the industrial Georgetown neighborhood offers a smattering of hip spots, including this pizza hangout filled with cool cultural artifacts. A giant letter S, a red-neon remnant from an Esso sign, dominates the dining room; several '80s pinball machines and old beer signs start conversations in the pool-table room. Service is slow and a little absentminded but friendly nonetheless.The FoodPasta dishes make a cameo, but hand-tossed pizzas are the main attraction. Thick, chewy crusts, gobs of toppings and a molten mountain of mozzarella are hallmarks here. For those who shy from nouveau pizza concepts, the Beanie offers piles of pepperoni and cheese. And for vegetarians, the Roma-and-feta Eddy the Greek and garlic-and-spinach Courky's Veggie are your best bets. The Flora Primo is a must-try, crackling with spicy Italian sausage and artichoke hearts.
