Editorial Review for Zayda Buddy's Pizza – by Lauren Sancken

In Short
Sit back in tall booths or grab a seat at the bar to watch a game with a can of Hamm's, or for the more refined, a Minnesota martini (whisky and a beer schooner). The backbone of the menu is thin-crust pizza, square and saucy, but the more adventurous diner can delve into tater-tot casseroles, stuffed burgers and fried cheese curds.

This place is a fun place to have a casual drink and meal. One of my friend's had the turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce, delightful! One had a chicken burger, delicious. And my other friend and I split a pizza. The crust was perfect and the toppings were great. I had roasted garlic on my side it was great while I was eating it and I eat a lot of garlic. But seriously you should probably avoid the roasted garlic if you have to go out the next day or two. I was sweating garlic for at least 24 hours, it was insane and I'm certain there was not a vampire in the greater seattle area after I ate that. But like I said, it was good and I guess its just the price I had to pay. Also the drinks are fantastic! I had an awesome grape sode cocktail and my friends had some other cocktails off the inventive cocktail list. This place has a fun atmosphere and great bar style food. :)

Pros: Grape soda cocktail

Cons: a little noisy, but adds to the atmosphere

First things first, I grew up in the mid-west, so the pizza here is the style I grew up with. Having been consistently disappointed with the pizza this far west, I am always looking for new things. (I should probably mention that I lived in Chicago and like more than one pizza style.) Zayda's has been constantly improving since I first went in, and by no means have I exhausted the menu, though I have never had food I considered merely passable. Every restaurant has good and bad nights, and if you don't realize this you shouldn't dine out. This is a place I enjoy taking people to eat, though by no means would I say everything is perfect,
