Bambino's East Coast Pizzeria

HOLY COW!

Most chain pizza is bad. Really, really bad. So the bar is set pretty low for a place like Bambino's that actually makes great pizza. They make a good crust, it's not too greasy, and they've got some nice combinations if you're not creative enough to come up with new ideas yourself. I like the Sila with spicy calabrese sausage.

terrible service

i ordered for a meeting for my boss. not only was the pizza late for the meeting, none of the special instructions were followed, which left me scrambling for plates and napkins for a lunch meeting that was already late. i was promised a reimbursement, and never received one. in apology, until i received my actual gift certificate, was given two wrinkly little coupons for small two topping pizzas that, of course, no one would make a delivery for without a 20 dollar order. no i didn't make them millions in catered events. i have a tiny non-profit i was going to use them for. and our business is small. however, whenever i was asked to order food for a meeting i ALWAYS ordered from Bambino's. no one else wanted to order from them after the tasting. but i admired their ingenuity. long and short i was eventually told (after waiting over a month for them to make reparations) that we did not pump in enough money to their business to warrant their wanting to make any extra effort, even though i was promised again and again a certificate i never received. i was told my wrinkly little coupons more than covered the expense of my order. thanks... a small business that doesn't care about other small business. you ought to do real well in corporate america stomping on the little guy.

oh and watch their reviews on sites like this, i seem to find profiles created simply to post a five star review. i'm sure a lot of folks do that... in fact... i was so displeased because the manager accused me of receiving a gift certificate and lying about it, on top of never letting me finish a single sentence on the phone... i created a profile to let people know the truth about the service.

i would not send anyone there. period.

• Pros: decent pizza, works with local growers etc
• Cons: wretched service

My brother and his wife took me here while I visited them in Seattle. Of course, my eyes were bigger than my belly and I wanted more pizza going in. They convinced me that one pizza would be enough. We started with a large Milanese salad , which was a delectable assortment of Baby Greens, Gorgonzola, Walnuts, Grapes, Creamy Vinaigrette I think that was it. We shared a Nosttrana pizza, which had lots of garlic and spinach, and just the right crispy and thin crust.

Because it was a celebratory visit, we had to finish with the tiramisu, which was amazing. Creamy, fresh, and sweet.

My brother said , the woman that is managing the place is from Italy. Service was perfect and the atmosphere is warming. I hope Italy is just as great....
