What People Are Saying About Zayda Buddy's Pizza
Featured Review

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.
Editor's Tips
- Happy Hour:
- Daily specials include $3 drafts, $5 half carafes of wine, $1.50 Hamm's cans, and a $3 food menu with tater tots and gravy boats.
- When to Go:
- Monday nights are $5 Minnesota Martini nights.
- The Extras:
- Tom Selleck has a starring role in the women's bathroom, which is plastered in posters of the "Magnum P.I." star
Cheers for the owner!!

I misplaced my leather jacket when I was at Zayda Buddy's about a month ago. The staff and especially the owner, Joel, went waaaaay ouf their way to help me take care of the problem. Grandpa Zayda would be proud of Joel. A classy place!
just a great place with awesome food

Seriously, I have enjoyed this place so much every time I've been there! It's clean and fun and casual and the food is INSANELY awesome. The veggie sandwich is my new favorite! Super gooey cheese and yummy grilled vegetables...and the last time we took a friend there (who also loved the place and the food) we all shared the "twinkle misu" ... Holy dessert nirvana. I had no idea you could do that with a twinkle. This place is fantastic, and I recommend it to everyone.
Great concept

Apparently this is a good place to watch a game, but if you are not expecting this it can be quite loud and crowded. Menu items and beer choices seem to be a little unusual which inspired me to seek this out. Whoever heard of a Midwestern themed restaurant? It is a great idea. Unfortunately they seem to have had some problem with thier beer distrubtion and most of the unusual beers I wanted to try were unavailable. Food was above average, I absolutely love my tapenade, hummus, veggie sandwhich (Joia Z’s Veggie Sandwich) and am not sure how I never knew these two things were meant to be together. They also have an interesting beer mustard. I hear the tatoer tot hot dish is delicious as well. And I did enjoy reading about fishing while I ate.
- Pros: Minnesotta theme, great sandwhich
- Cons: loud, out of most of beer selection
Midwestern delights!

Zayda Buddy’s is a great place to indulge your comfort food fantasies. If you dream of cheesy, buttery carbs served up hot with a side of dipping sauce, or dare I say tater tots, you must try Zayda’s.
My favorites: the mac-n-cheese topped with mama lil’s peppers, the velveeta grilled-cheese sandwich, and the chicken tenders. Did I mention they do pizza?
Round out your meal with an ice cold beer and you won’t want to leave the establishment. Wooden booths and flat screen televisions will keep you there for hours. Enjoy!
Other than the pizza, not worth the price

Zayda Buddy's makes pretty good Minnesota style pizza but I would recommend avoiding the sandwiches. Last night I had a tuna melt there, it was 1 piece of bread with tuna and cheese on top, a tomato, and a pickle on the side. I also had to pay 2$ extra for potato salad rather than pringles or fries for my side. Now that would be fine but the cost for this was $11 ($8.99 for the basic tuna melt plus two for the potato salad).
This wasn't exactly a gourmet meal, I really wouldn't expect to pay more than $7 for half a tuna sandwich and a side. Comparatively you can get a grilled cheese and toato soup near by for only $4.
There are much better and cheaper options in Ballard if you want a sandwich.
- Pros: Pizza
- Cons: Tiny over priced sandwiches, cheap beer marked up to 4$
