Editorial Review for Snoose Junction – by Don Rauf
In Short
Neighborhood pride shines at this casual pizza place. The owners constructed the interior with recycled materials from some favorite Seattle sites, including hardwood tabletops from Leilani bowling lanes and seats that were once bleachers at Roosevelt High. The pies approach New York quality with homemade red sauce, yeasty crust, and standard toppings from artichoke hearts to fresh, locally made sausage. Huge cheesy calzones easily feed two, and chopped salads pack a garlicky wallop.

I would have given this place 4 starts, but I'm in my mid 20's and I don't like other people children, sorry. This place is an other people's children magnet. There are children everywhere every time I've been here. They are yelling, and screaming, and running, and dropping things, and making that hideous screaching noise. The pizza is pretty good. The stuffed pizza is a little too bready. I love the idea of this place, I just can't stand all of the kids. If they added an "adults only" area, I might go back, but from now on I'm going to the Northlake Tavern for pizza. No kids there.
Pros: pretty good pizza that supports local business
Cons: CHILDREN

It's hard to find good "back east' pizza in Seattle. Some places serve big soggy pies with asparagus and others serve tiny dry "authentic" things with pinches of basil and a few globs of cheese. This place does a good job of turning out hand-stretched thin pies with just enough grease and good moisture content. (I don't care for more than 3 toppings on this style of pie otherwise the crust fails.) If you simply want a big tasty pepperoni pizza at a great price (especially with the Val-Pak coupons), this place is great. In my experience most of the staff has been eager and friendly. Don't expect the hipster cold attitude or the stoner dizziness that you get at many other pizza joints. However, I have experienced some service speedbumps. For example; they should have hot slices in the case at bar closing time. I've stopped in at 1:45 am on weekend nights and discovered nothing but an ancient slice or two of veggie. Last week I mentioned to the dude that he ought to get some pies in the oven before the bars close, but he just looked annoyed. They put a single pie in the oven that was snatched up by the first four or five people in line and all the other drunkards had to either wait another 20 minutes or slip out to the hot dog cart. It just seemed like the kind of rookie mistake made by staff that don't have the needed sense of urgency to completely satisfy both the customers and the owners.
