With my pending adventure to the Netherlands and Austria I have been working more hours than I care to admit! So, with one night off I decided to treat myself to dinner at Delancey. For those of you who have not had the pleasure, let me fill you in. After reading numerous reviews of this new restaurant in Ballard with hefty comparisons to Veraci and Serious Pie, I was delighted to try this up and coming pizza hot spot. I was not disappointed, either! The design is...simple. White walls, a nice wooden bar with poured concrete top and an open concept kitchen where the main spectacle is the infamous wood fired oven create a clean, modern space. I loved the lighting which is simple but adds an extra touch of industrial sparkle. If I were to change two things I would a) put some signage on the windows and b) Curtain off the back of the house, especially the dish pit which is in full view from the bar. The pizza was in short...AMAZING! The crust was thin and thick in all the right spots and the house-made pork and fennel sausage was to die for! There is a nice selection of beer and wine as well as some nonalcoholic selections like Reed's Ginger Beer and Mexican Coca Cola. For those of you who can't dine out without a little sweet at the end they have a bittersweet chocolate chip cookie with gray salt that I am savoring every morsel of as I write this. Now, do yourself a favor and take yourself to Italy for some pizza, Naples specifically...and then when you return and find yourself craving those amazing Neapolitan textures and flavors, take yourself to Delancey!
