Description

World Pizza is a pizzeria in Seattle's Chinatown–International District (C–ID); the business originally operated in Belltown.[1] [2] Seattle Metropolitan has described World Pizza as a "comfortably worn" vegetarian pizza bar, serving whole pics and slices with "utilitarian" crusts with "clever" topping combinations.[3] According to Seattle Magazine, the shop has a "groovy, cheerful" interior with an orange couch and "retro" fixtures.[4]

One pizza has vegetarian pepperoni.[5] [6] Another variety has gorgonzola, potato, and rosemary.[7] Other pizza ingredients include basil, pesto, roasted red potato, vegetarian sausage, and walnut.[8] World Pizza also offers vegan pizzas.[9] The shop also serves large chocolate chip cookies.

History

Brothers Aaron Crosleycone and Adam Cone opened the original shop during the 1990s.[10] The business re-opened in the C–ID in 2011.[11]

World Pizza filed a complaint against OrderAhead.[12] World Pizza has been a vendor at the C–ID Night Market[13] and the C–ID Business Improvement Area's annual C–ID Summer Festival, also known as Dragon Fest.[14] [15]

Among notable diners is Amanda Knox, according to Northwest Asian Weekly.[16] In 2018, World Pizza introduced a reusable pizza box made by a regular customer; according to The Stranger, the pizzeria sold the boxes for "$5 along with a free slice".[17] [18] [19]
