SO HOT IT’S ON FIRE

Orfeo: Carmen

䴀䄀䜀䄀娀䤀一䔀

Dim lighting and attentive service make
this new addition to Belltown the best for
woodfire pizza. This is not your typical pizza.
Topping the charts is the Carmen which is
layered with mozzarella, tomato, calabrese
sausage, mama lil’s peppers, serrano chile
and oregano. The spicy serrano and the
pickled mama lil’s give the perfect bite a
welcomed zing. 2107 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA

This unsuspecting premiere
butchery in West Seattle has
gourmet fries with a gluttonous
twist. Take their swine fries –

local you can get in the seafood
scene. Saturated in creamy, steamy

up after a day downtown. 1433 4th

caramelized carrot and a seasonal
balancing herb salad. Just try
it, we dare you. 622 Broadway E,
