Julianos Pizza: Highly RECCOMENDED



JULIANO'S PIZZA: Highly RECCOMENDED
Location: 1211 Pine St, Seattle WA

Juliano’s pizza is not a bar however I felt it necessary to include in the Capital Hill Bar Food issue because of its nearby location to most of capital hills nightlife as well as its late night (3am weekend) hours. Juliano himself is a charector and although his Pizzas and Calzones are made to order, the wait time is easy to pass by with the combination of his innuendo/antics, flat screen TV, and impromptu Karaoke Sessions.


The Food:
You really cant go wrong with anything on the menu although I steer towards the Calzones. They arrive hot and glazed with an amazing garlic herb crust Juliano’s offers a wide array of the usual pizza toppings but also offers an extensive vegan menu and some more interesting gourmet cheeses/toppings. Prices are reasonable.

The Quick Rundown
Food Menu: Right on Point. All the Pizza/Calzone choices you could want
Drink Menu: No Alcohol but Soda/Coffee/Water is available
Price: Reasonable. (Slices are small but tasty)
Crowd: All Walks of Capital Hill Life
Seating: Several Small Tables (Not good for large groups)
Service: Juliano will entertain you. Ladies be warned
Random Tidbits: Vegan Slices/ Hilarious Karaoke Sessions

The Broadway Grill: NOT Reccomended



Capital Hill Bar Food
Broadway Grill: NOT Reccomended
314 Broadway E
Seattle, WA

For so long Broadway Grill seemed as a necessity with late night eating on the Hill. This is no longer the case. The restaurant has pissed off many of its long-time customers including myself. Reasons for this include changes on the menu, raised prices, warm beer, and bad décor among others.

While the drink specials and happy hour prices are still the highlight, they cant save my review. My draft beer has been overly warm on several occasions.

The Food:
The longtime adored Polenta Fries as well as the Jerk Chicken/ Sweet Potatoes are no longer. These being 2 of my favorite items on the menu I was annoyed. The new additions were not only overpriced but portions were quite small (Notably the Mahi Mahi tacos as well as the Burger) Regardless of the reasons for all the change, I feel Broadway must have noticed the negative response. Lets hope they can revive themselves once again and give us a reason to eat/drink something on Broadway besides Dicks Burger and a 40oz.

The Quick Rundown
Food Menu: Lacking Old Favorites. Overpriced. Small Portions
Drink Menu: Good Daily Drink Specials, Great Happy Hour, Warm Beer
Crowd: Mixed Crowd, Gays, Straight, Hipster, Old/Young.
Price: Overpriced (most entrees over $12)
Seating: Booths, Several Large Tables, Many small tables
Service: Decent Service. Slow Bartenders, Friendly Servers
Random Tidbits: Art shows have been Lacking Lately, Open Late
