| coops32's Full Review: Zeek's Pizza |
Zeeks Pizza is my favorite!
I have always been a pizza addict – I never quite outgrew my love for pizza. Seattle has many very good pizza restaurants and I have a couple favorites depending on what I am in the mood for. I like Zeeks for its tangy spicy sauce and creative topping range.
locations and delivery options
Zeeks has five locations in the heart of Seattle plus one in the Eastside suburb of Kirkland. You can find Zeeks in Seattle in Belltown, Greenlake, Phinney, Ravenna, and near the space needle at Dravus. Hours have varied by season and location in the past, but the company has now implemented a central phone system for pick up and delivery. You can start preordering your pizza as early as nine in the morning. This is great if you are busy and forget about lunch or also for office parties.
Seattle 206-285-TOGO
Eastside 425-893-TOGO
Current hours –
Sun-Thurs 11-10
Fri & Sat 11-11*
*Dravus and Kirkland are open 11-10 on Sat
I can’t get delivery at my house because I am out of their range, but I can easily call in my order and pick it up with ease and no hassles. I love having the centralized number because I am usually all over Seattle on some days and it helps to be able to just call one number and tell them where I want to pick it up. In addition, I can remember the number because it is easy! I have been at friends’ houses and delivery has been a nice option which makes me jealous.
Dining in with the family is always nice. Zeeks offers slices at the counter if you are just running in for a quick bite and they have a nice selection of soda and beers. Salads are fresh and the wait staff is friendly and fast. My little one loves going in there because they give her a ball of dough to play with. She always shapes it into a bunny and brings it home to bake it. There is indoor and outdoor dining depending on location (and season). Seating is not overly comfortable, but the environment is pleasing and exactly what I would expect from an in city pizza restaurant.
And now to the menu…..
In addition to slices, pizzas are available in twelve and sixteen inch sizes…..
I am a vegetarian – I love their “Tree Hugger” pizza because of its amazing burst of flavor. The dough is one of the best I have tasted – chewy and flavorful, but also crisp on the bottom. The red sauce for the Tree Hugger is loaded with spice. This pizza also has broccoli, spinach, garlic, mushroom, olives, artichoke hearts, as well as both sun dried and roma tomatoes.
Other vegetarian options include plain cheese, the olive based Super Margarita, the pesto infused Frog Belly Green, the BMG (broccoli, mushroom, garlic), the Hurricane, and an amazing Veggie Thai pizza. There are other vegetarian pies on the menu, but these are my favorites by far! Zeeks is really great with vegetarians and takes care not to slice through my pizzas with a cutter that has been used on a meat pizza.
My family does not eat a vegetarian diet and takes great delight in partaking in Zeek’s wonderful meat pies. Their favorite is the Texas Leaguer which is a BBQ chicken concoction. I must admit even as a vegetarian that the smell of it is heavenly! My husband likes their Thai One On chicken Thai pizza which you can order from one to five stars. Occasionally I will bring home the Kitchen Sink for guests. This pizza is exactly everything but the kitchen sink with ingredients such as tomato sauce, mozzarella, canadian bacon, pepperoni, sausage, chicken, bacon, mushrooms, olives, green peppers, garlic, and roma tomatoes! It is heavy and one of the most expensive pies.
Prices range from $12 for a 12 inch plain cheese to $18.95 for a 12 inch Tree Hugger to $20.90 for the 12 inch Kitchen Sink. The same pizzas in 16 inch sizes cost $14.50, $20.95, and $26.35. In addition to their specialty pizzas, you can also build your own.
Lastly,
I like Zeeks because it is full of flavor and not a greasy pizza. Their creative menu offers a seemingly endless array of choices and their ordering system is primo. I appreciate their attention to my needs and we find ourselves picking up one of these pies on a regular basis. I hope they will deliver to my house one day!
If you come to Seattle, stop in at Zeeks and see what I am talking about.
