There are two Tutta Bella restaurnts in Seattle--only two: On Stone Way in Wallingford and at Rainier South and Hudson. It is unqualifiedly the best pizza I have eaten on the West Coast. And the tiramisu is to die for. The inspiration for Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria stems from a passion for the authentic, fire-roasted pizzas born in Naples and found throughout Italy. For a century and a half, the pizza makers (or “pizzaioli” as they are known in their home town) of Naples have been producing unique, mouth-watering pizzas using the freshest ingredients available. It is estimated that nearly 7 million of these pizzas are produced in Italy every day. In the mid-1990s, a group of pizzaioli decided to join together to create an organization, Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, to defend the integrity of their product. They sought to establish a DOC (denomination of control) for pizza, a designation that can be compared to winemaking DOC zones. For wines, the Denominazione di Origine Controllata outlines the permitted ingredients and defines the production process. For DOC Pizza Napoletana, the process encompasses everything from specifying the origin and freshness of the basic ingredients to the stone cooking surface of the oven. In June 1998, the good news arrived: authentic pizza napoletana, “Verace Pizza Napoletana”, had become a protected legal entity. The regulations do not state that the pizza must be made in Naples, thus opening the opportunity for any restaurant in the world to make the DOC guarantee that the production of their pizzas meets the association’s strict requirements. To date, only a handful of pizzerias in the United States have chosen to do so-- Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria is the first restaurant in the Northwest to be DOC certified. The restaurant received its VPN certification on April, 3 2004. The owner, Joe Fugere has been trained and certified as a pizzaiolo. - Tito , posted 06/13/06 |

My bf recently moved to Columbia City and Tutta Bella was the place we grabbed food our first night here. That was some delicious!! I've yet to eat in and have the whole atmosphere of the place, but at least they know their pizza! - Inna , posted 03/29/06 |

If you are ever in Columbia City, stop by Tutta Bella. It is right next door to the Columbia City Ale House, so locating it should not be a problem. To make it short and sweet, Tutta Bella has the best pizza I have ever had and is currently the only Neopolitan pizzeria in the NW. With a Pleaseant atmosphere, great food, and reasonable prices Tutta Bella is one of my personal favorites for almost any occasion. They also have another location in case that is closer to where you live. 4411 Stone Way North Seattle, WA 98113 206.633.3800 - Matthew , posted 02/24/06 |

Best pizza in town, if you like it Neapolitan. The Columbia City location is one of the most happenin' spots in the hood, with 30 minute wait during peak dinner hours ... but they give you free red wine while you're waiting, so it's not so bad. And the pizza. Holy fook, the pizza. The wait is all worth it once you've bitten into a slice of their 4 Cheese or Margherita. Oh my god, so yummy. And the salads are delish too -- try the Salerno, filled with mozerella and fennel. And if you're looking for something a little lighter than pizza, try their "pizza insalatas" ... it's basically a great salad dumped on wood-fired pizza crust. So tasty, and a little bit lighter for those who aren't up for the delicious gut-bust of a good pizza. Tutta Bella used to be a diamond in the Columbia City rough, but now that they've opened a (HUGE!) Wallingford location, all you "where's Columbia City?" yups up north can enjoy it too. So, so tasty. And a great value, considering the quality. - Ariel , posted 01/26/06 |
