Madame K’s pizza
Continuing my quest to find the perfect pizza, I ran across a delightful little place just minutes from home.
Madam K’s Pizza in Ballard - “Every town has its celebrated Madam, eternal women to be sentimentalized down the years. There is something attractive to man about a Madam. She combines the brains of a businessman, the toughness of a prize fighter, the warmth of a companion, the humor of a tragedian.” - John Steinbeck.
The ambience is cozy, particularly when it’s threatening to snow outside, but who cares about that? The pizza is magnificent. The crust was one of the best I’ve ever had (I tried the deep dish Go-Go Chick Pie) and I really liked the fact that there was no red sauce - it made the pizza a little unique. The cheese was not as gooey as I’m used to, but I was too busy trying out the server’s suggestion of spritzing balsamic vinegar onto each slice.
The food here reminded me of Pappasallis in Islamabad, in their early days, when they still made a mean chicken tikka pizza.
