Editorial Review for All-Purpose Pizza & Ale – by Anna Roth
The Scene
Families eating in find a casual, airy atmosphere with plenty of roomy tables and a TV showing sport tucked away in the corner; twinkling lanterns and maroon walls create a cozy, comfortable feeling. The open kitchen area affords a clear view of the pie-makers tossing the dough and forming pies.
The Food
Skip the starters and head right to the pizza, made with their own sourdough crust. Select from an assortment of specialty pies or build your own, choosing toppings (which run from basic to inventive, like caramelized onion and apple) and a sauce--red wine, pesto or garlic and olive oil. The Weed Eater, a vegetarian's nirvana, comes laden with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, red onion and pesto sauce. Ked's Fave has prosciutto, shaved almonds and parmesan; leafy arugula is placed on top at the end. Carnivores should look no further than the Jersey-worthy meatloaf sandwich.

I was just driving down Jackson one day, and all of a sudden, a pizza place jumped out of no where. I thought "whoa, what is that doing here?" So I called up my brother and said, "Hey, we gotta try this place out!" We made ourselves look like fools as we walked in, because we did not understand that we were supposed to wait to be seated. So we just wandered around the joint aimlessly until a waitress directed us what to do. There is not a lot of seating in the place, but it is not cramped. We noticed the sourdough crust advertisement, so we had to check that out. We had the Hullabaloo pizza, and we were very impressed. Fresh ingredients, and the crust is awesome. The people were very nice, but there was only one waitress that night with a full restaurant. So we were a little neglected, but we weren't in any hurry. Also, it is a little noisy when there are a group of kids playing in their "children's area." They have some awesome TV's set up if you want to check out a game, but they are not intrusive if you are looking to just converse with others. The pizza was a little bit on the pricey side, but you are paying for a very high quality product, so it is a good value. Finally, the neighborhood is not necessarily the best in Seattle, and the parking is not ideal. However, these little issues are trivial when looking at the overall atmosphere and quality of the food. If you are looking for just an awesome slice, then this is the place to go.
Pros: Awesome pie!
Cons: Little noisy.

we went to this place for an early dinner (around 5:15) and found the place mostly empty. Our service was prompt and friendly and our food came quickly. The pizza was good, nothing really special. We ordered the kitchen sink pizza and a few salads. Their Caesar is good and the Greek salad was good also. The selection of beer leaves a lot to be desired considering Ale is part of the name of the restaurant and they are in Seattle. I am interested to bring our kid here once he or she is old enough to run around and play in the kids kitchen (not born yet) since the kids that did come in the door immediately gravitated to this little kids area. We will come back.
Pros: Prompt service, clean tables and bathrooms
Cons: limited selection of beer and a little bit expensive for what you get.
