Peel and Press

This is for take out so I'll give it another shot in person. Maybe. Pizza is good so maybe only order that if you come. I was excited to try the "hand rolled gnocchi". This is definitely from a package. I only ordered it because it stated hand rolled. Boo. Parm twists are extremely dry and taste old almost?. Skip on those too. House salad is greens with a few random carrot shreds lol. Skip on that too. Kinda bummed out.

I've been wanting to try the West 5 mac and cheese but sadly, the only thing theirs has in common with the original is the type of pasta. No flavor, was definitely missing at least one of the cheeses, and it wasn't baked. I couldn't finish it. The place could use a good refresh and cleaning. Most of the seating is ripped and worn, drab paint, and the restroom was very filthy. Even the toilet scrubber canister was dirty. These are things I'd expect to see in a dive bar. Service was non-existent once we got our food and drinks. Staff seemed more into chatting together then checking in and bringing by the check. We like this neighborhood and it would be great if they put some effort into the restaurant. Will be a while before we go back.

I have been a fan of Peel & Press since 2016 when I first came here with my partner and his older gay-couple friends. They were West Seattle residents for the longest time and thought we would love it...and they were right!First, the service is impeccable. Tonight, we ordered a large pizza. The owner came out right before our pie did and said he had good and bad news. The good news was they were giving us a second pizza. The bad news was that they accidentally made our pizza small instead of large. Big who cares!? I told him we were super happy with our small pizza and happy to pay for it! He insisted they already put the second pie in the oven. Who does that? Only an exceptionally customer-minded business owner who truly cares about the experience of his customers. Second, every time we have come, we always have this strange and awesome experience of someone super nice who have been outwardly friendly toward us. Tonight, this guy next to us invited us to his show, The Seattle Pun-Off. Prior to that, this couple heard us talking about living in WS without kids, and he and his wife started talking us up and told us about their favorite spots for non-kid people.Last, the food is bomb. Fresh toppings. Doughy delicious crust. Super stringy mozz cheese. Pretty much everything you want in pizza. Get your butt in here and support these awesome West Seattle humans!!

I have been an avid Peel and Press fan since they opened. While I still think they make good pizza and have okay customer service, the ambience is terrible. In the beginning staff were friendly and enthusiastic. Now they can be very slow and wait times for things like drink refills and the check can be too much. The most recent time, our server was more attentive than the last two times before that. The place looks like a dump. The bathroom was filthy which gives me pause about the places the public doesn't see. I actually didn't even use their bathroom even though I needed it. The dining room is run down. The booth seats are shredded and paint is scruffed off the wall. The floors are dirty. I'm really sad to say that it's unpleasant being in this restaurant now. I used to bring guests in and won't do that anymore. I'm bummed because I felt like this was turning into a true neighborhood gem. Something happened in the last few years, and the last few times I've gone in, I felt uncomfortable inside. New, clean and interesting pizza restaurants are in the area and until Peel and Press cleans it up, I'm going to have to prioritize them.

What a find!!! My sister has been raving about this place for many months now and we finally found some time to check it out. First impression. It looked dead but i guess It was a weekday and people were just getting off work. Eventually it picked up.We got margaritas. Not the best but also not bad. The food was so good!!! The pizza was sooooo cheesy and one of the best I've had. The crab cake was also scrumptious.We cannot wait to be back!

I like this fun local bar. Fun place to go to for a quiet date night. I like the lighting in the place as well as the service. They always have great snacks and drinks.

I feel good about supporting a local business, food 'this time' was really not up to standard..but may have just the evening??? It won't stop me from returning... food quality is top notch

Went here to check out a new pizza spot and fresh juice cocktails. Told to sit down wherever upon coming in by a bar regular instead of staff noticing us. Took a while to get water. Eventually our server comes over to take our drink order, and so far everything seems fine if not a bit slow. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes goes by before our drinks show up (mind you, not busy at all in the dining room), my girlfriend gets hers and I'm told they don't have the ingredients to make mine so I choose a different drink. No worries, I work in the industry, I get it, but I assumed since they didn't have my first choice, they'd make an effort to expedite my replacement drink. I kid you not, 40 minutes pass before my drink shows up and my girlfriend had long since already finished hers. I'm mildly freaking out but trying to keep it to myself but legitimately the slowest and most neglectful service I've ever experienced. Seems the only people getting any service at all were the bar regulars, who were getting new drinks by the score before me. So... become a regular and sit at the bar and maybe the experience here is better?Only redeeming factor is that the pizza I ordered was pretty good. Girlfriend got gnocchi which she described as mid. We had also ordered crab cakes as an appetizer that never showed up, but given the extraordinary waits we just cut our losses and accepted it for what it is. Prices are super reasonable, but they must factor in the poor service to make up for it.So yeah, just terrible service. Not busy at all, bunch of messy tables that hadn't been bussed and when new people walked in, server explained that she hadn't gotten to clearing tables because "oh it's just been so crazy and busy" I'm like girrrl in what universe are you living in? There's like three tables in here and not even many to go orders getting made (which is more a stress on the kitchen than front of house anyway).Would not recommend.

I'd been meaning to try this place & after fasting a day and a half for a medical procedure, I decided to give this place a try. We ordered the spinach salad, garlic bread with cheese & chicken Parmesan. The salad & bread were fine, the chicken was passable, too. Not the best chicken parm I've had but, okay. Not worth $24.95. The pasta that came with the chicken, though, wow. The restaurant decided to deviate from the traditional marinara sauce & added what appeared to be an attempt at pesto. The pasta was gummy and flavorless. Mind you, I was starving and I threw the pasta away. It was that bad. Never again

We love this little neighborhood place. Great food, cozy atmosphere. We would definitely go back again
