Ananas Pizzeria

I thoroughly enjoyed the pizza at this place. The Ananas is basically their take on an Hawaiian pizza. The pineapples were fresh and this did the job for what it was. I didn't taste the togarashi at all though. The Lao and the Magic Mario was where it all shined for me. My partner is a huge fan of anything mushrooms and I love mostly anything Truffle. Truffle can be a hit or miss sometimes because you either really taste the truffle or you don't. You definitely do with this one and all the different types of mushrooms on this were divine. The flavors just melded really well and I could just taste the umami. Highly recommend! The Lao was another fave of mine. I've never had dill in my pizza before and don't think that's a Lao thing, but it really brought out the flavor of the Khaosoi pork for me. I would also 100% get this again. Service was really attentive. Drinks were a bit on the lighter pour side but my blueberry whiskey smash was tasty.Only gripe I had with the place is the lighting. Why did it need to be so dark? That aside, I would definitely go back.

I'm not going to bother going on a fool's errand to find a pizza this good when I'm back home in Bay Area.I've never had as good of a thin crust pizza: Perfect proportions, thin, but not floppy or soggy. The edges had perfect airy pockets of crispy dough. I had the mushroom with white sauce. It was just slightly more salty than I would want (but I'm salt sensitive); however, cheese is a salty food so it's not within their exact control.

Lao pizza. That's the order here. But everything else about this place is pretty damn cool too. I visited Ananas Pizzeria during happy hour and kid you not, I came back twice in one day. I first visited Ananas Pizzeria during happy hour on a Tuesday as my partner and I were going to an event at Town Hall, and Ananas Pizzeria is right across the street from it. Its predecessor was also a pizzeria that I had visited pre-Town Hall event, and must say, Ananas Pizzeria is so much better in every way. For starters, the food is delicious, especially the Lao pizza. So much so that the Seattle Times wrote about it as the item to get, particularly if you're a fan of Taurus Ox. Um, duh, who isn't a fan of Taurus Ox? That's one of my favorite restaurants, so I just had to check out this Lao pizza that my partner and I ordered after our event at Town Hall, which points me to my second visit in one day. I walked in the second time and the staff were like, "You're back!" Yeah, baby, I need to get that Lao pizza. The Lao pizza took about 20 minutes to make, which we didn't mind since it's a whole pie and clearly, they don't make it ahead of time, which is always promising. The Lao pizza could feed more than two people as the pizza was a hefty size. But the best part is what makes up this delicious pizza, like the pork belly, ground pork, bean paste and bamboo. It was fragrant yet savory. Crust was thin, which I prefer and cheese had that melted pull. You would be missing out if you didn't get this pizza. But if you're a weirdo or can't make room for a full pie, the happy hour is a great deal, offering slices at discounted prices, with some shareables, like the loaded tots, which is a must try here. Tots with cheese, jalapeno slices and Lao pork! Hell yeah! Plus, I love that they have Beer Lao here, and for a bigger size, which is two pints, it was less than 10 bucks on happy hour. Laos is on my bucket list, but until I get there, find me at Taurus Ox and now, Ananas Pizzeria. Love the pizza, the red lighting, the chill atmosphere and friendly staff. It's a great addition to the First Hill-ish neighborhood.

Ananas is owned by the same chef who created Taurus ox and ox burger. The pizzas are Lao inspired but also have traditional pizzas! My bf and I couldn't decide on just one pizza so we did half Lao and half magic Mario. When you do half and half, it's an extra $5. The flavor of the pizzas were absolutely amazing and the crust is chewy but not too hard. I only wish the pizzas were crispier on the bottom! The interior is interesting. I overheard from the waitress that it used to be a French bistro, hence the chandelier and fancy looking interior. There are 4 TVs and a bar area too! Feels more like a classy dive bar as it's on the medium to loud side.

Fantastic happy hour! 3-6 and after 10pm daily. All day Mondays. Super great deal!! And the cocktails are excellent. I usually get a margarita or the old fashioned. I tried a new one this time, Spirit of Ananas. If you like a good margarita, this one kicks it up a notch. The pizza is also delicious and the Ceaser salad. Birds Eye Honey is out go to pizza, always. Highly recommend this place. Great bar, food, service always!

Loved supporting this local business in Seattle! Very nice environment and vibe as soon as you walk in. The staff was very friendly as we had to wait a bit for our seats. It's a smaller seating area and they were pretty full when we arrived with a party of 5. Great cocktail menu and the pizza choices were both exotic & simple, with pizzas with ingredients you wouldn't normally choose to your basic pepperoni. They also run specials. Our server David was amazing and super friendly. Gave us info on the city, chatted us up about why we were in Seattle and just had a great attitude. I will definitely keep this place on my list to visit for when I return to Seattle! Thanks!

My husband and I came here for a little pizza date night. It has a really unique atmosphere, think red dim lights with tables and a bar. Staff is friendly but since we came when it was a little busier they seemed short handed. We shared a split pizza - half Lao and half Bird's Eye Honey. And I got a side of ranch to go with it. The Bird's eye honey was our favorite, a perfect harmony of sweet and salty. I wanted to like the Lao pizza more because it was pretty unique but the flavor profile wasn't there for us. I ended up using a lot of ranch for this one. Overall, a nice little spot to get some pizza in a trendy atmosphere!

Lao pizza and elephant ears is what made this place stand out for me! But the food came out super slow on the Thursday evening (lots of takeout orders). Sausage on lao pizza could have been more pronounced with bold flavors, but it was relatively tame and a bit oversalted. The breading of the pizza is masterful, but maybe not entirely worth the wait and price for me.Elephant ears on the other hand was an absolutely fantastic dessert. The caramelized pineapple along side the ice cream was incredible. The pineapple had a hint of rum that was perfectly and unexpectedly balanced, and the caramelized sweetness of the overriped pineapple was addictive. The fried dough part was crispy and fun. Service was great though and they were super nice. A bit out of the way would still recommend giving it a try at least once.

Finally made it to Ananas Pizzeria for their "Lao Pizza." Full disclosure- I'm Lao/American-LOL. I love the tribute to Lao foods and ingredients and the creative spin on another pizza. The pizza is a must try for pizza lovers and for my Laotian community. Please let me know what you think- if it's more delicious because it's a pizza or because it's distinctively Lao?

An excellent, home-y pizza spot in the First Hill/Cap Hill area. Been here a few times and meant to write a review but just now getting to it! There are roughly 15 tables of various sizes to sit at + a bar so there's definitely ample seating. I went here with two others and got 2 pizzas + their elephant ear. Everything was fantastic! The bird's eye had great flavor and gooey-ness from the honey and cheese combo, and the pepperoni really goes well with it. The ananas is their staple and while I usually don't do pineapple on pizza, I did enjoy it here. The pickled jalapenos were great as well. The elephant ear was actually my favorite, as the caramelized pineapple really tied the elephant ear and ice cream all together. It never hurts to have great service, too. David, our server was excellent - super friendly. Please check this place out if you're in the area!
