SEATTLE, WA – Chef Ethan Stowell’s Ballard Pizza Company is slated to open next week in Seattle’s historic Ballard neighborhood. Located at 5107 Ballard Avenue NW, Ballard Pizza Company is the first of Stowell’s casual concepts from Grubb Brothers Productions.
The menu at Ballard Pizza Company features traditional thin crust pizza, salads, pasta, gnocchi, and specials made with the best local products and natural ingredients. Pizza is available by the slice or whole pie and can be eaten in or taken to go. Delivery service will begin in June. Ballard Pizza Company is open daily from 11am to 11pm and until 3am on Friday and Saturday.
“The idea behind Grubb Brothers is to make fast food approachable, a good value, and delicious,” says Stowell. “Quality products and natural ingredients shouldn’t be limited to fine dining – sometimes you want to grab a pizza on the way home or need to feed the kids quickly – and that’s the niche we aim to fill with Grubb Brothers.”
A large Cheese Pizza is $15 with toppings added for $1.50 each. Toppings include: Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Prosciutto, Spicy Coppa, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Eggplant, Olives, Peppers, Red Onion, Fresh Mozzarella, Pineapple, Basil, Tomatoes, and Arugula. Pizza by the slice is $2.50 for cheese and $3 for special pizzas of the day.
