Piecora's New York Pizza   

When Danny Piecora moved to Seattle from Brooklyn in the '70s, he couldn't help but notice something was missing from the Northwest: New York-style pizzas. Lucky for Seattleites, he did something about it. Piecora's hand-tossed pies are thin, crisp and buttery -- providing that momentary, mouth-watering trip back to the East Coast. Ordered by the slice or by the half or whole pie, choose from over 20 toppings or let one of Piecora's trademark specialty pizzas do the picking for you. Sure, they have calzones, pastas and salads, but with pizza this yummy -- stick to the crusts. The pizzeria atmosphere comes complete with red plastic booths and checkered vinyl tablecloths. And although many of the wall hangings seem to have come right out of a NYC gift shop, Piecora's is very Seattle-centric. Located in funky Capitol Hill, many of Piecora's patrons tend to have at least one body piercing -- if not a tattoo. Even trip hop and trance music mixes into the tomato-scented air, providing the kind of street-smart attitude needed to accompany Seattle's tastiest New York Pizzas.
