Northgate Pizza: A welcome addition to the neighborhood

Peder e-mailed me this weekend recommending a visit to Northgate Pizza on 15th Ave NE in the middle of the Pinehurst business district. I stopped by the shop Sunday afternoon and met Steve, one of the personable new owners. He gave me a menu and told me they should have their web site up soon. (I will post the link as soon as it is available.)

When I got home, I gave my family the menu and they all agreed to order from Northgate Pizza for dinner. We ordered a large pizza with half plain cheese and half pepperoni and six BBQ hot wings. The order arrived well within the promised 40 minutes and was delivered by Mahi, the equally personable co-owner. Mahi explained that they make the dough themselves at the shop every two to three days. No frozen dough at Northgate Pizza. My kids were hungry and were devouring the pizza before Mahi could leave the driveway.

After dinner, everyone gave their candid assessment: four thumbs up for Northgate Pizza. My kids and husband are a tough sell when it comes to pizza, but they are sold on Northgate Pizza. Decide for yourself: Northgate Pizza 206-364-2009, on the corner of NE 120th and 15th Ave NE.
