We ordered feta fingers and a medium pizza, presentation was great and pickup time was about 20min. But it went down hill from there, we ended up with half Pesto- half Terminator instead of the intended half Pesto- half Mediterranean. The pizza was suuuper greasy, like see the sky in the reflection of the box greasy(pic), oh and an entire artichoke heart smack dab in the center of the slice. Not sure this is our type of place.
Surprisingly good Italian. Rough to judge based on takeout.
Visiting Seattle & the area from IL, I actually chose this place because I was trying to find the pizza joint my friend went to when he was little. Unfortunately this was not it, but its the best pizza we have had so far and we have been to 3 local places.So flavorful, the cheese was really good, the pizza bread was delicious, my friends thought it could use more sauce but I like less so I loved it. We got just a regular pepperoni pizza and also some mozzarella sticks which were AMAZING, possibly the best Ive ever had. The marinara sauce was delicious too.I wish I could take this place back home with me. 2nd most expensive, but this one has come in 1st place for me.
I have been eating at Varlamos for a very long time and it never disappoints. Whether you are ordering out, dining in, or visiting the new bar, its always great. The best calzones in town!
Great place for pizza and calzones. There Caesar salad is phenomenal! Staff is really good and friendly. The price is good for the quality food that you get. Its really good food.
This is the real deal. Great service, great food. Try a calzone, you will be back for more!
Man from top to bottom, this is the place to be. The owner is who and what sets the tone for a really Kool spot...
This local pizza spot is hard to beat. The switch to counter service in response to Covid has created a safe and fun dining experience for the whole family. The food, as always, was exceptional.
Not impressed- Theres way better out there. If youve lived and discovered legit pizza on the east coast, and have something authentic to compare it to, youd know better.
Probably the best pizza place in the area. Kind of a thicker crust with tons of cheese and a lot of toppings to choose from. This is one of the few pizza places that has capers as a topping. Great bar great service great owner who will always come out and talk with you. Will be sending a Syracuse University football jersey to hang up in his establishment very soon. :)
The pizza was a little salty. The wings were juicy but they were not crisp on the outside and overly caked with seasoning. It wasnt bad but I definitely didnt feel this was their best.
3 stars for the food. I ordered online & they tried to short me on my food. I paid for mini pizza, spinach fingers, & two juices. The juices they gave me were not the juices I ordered and they told me nothing. Furthermore they forgot to prepare my spinach fingers. The host told me that those were not on the order. I showed him the receipt assuming he actually looked at the order recorded through seamless and he looked confused. He then told me it would be 20 minutes and asked if it was ok. I didn’t have a choice, y’all already took my money of course I’m going to get what I paid for. Terrible customer service experience. If the pizza wasn’t bomb, I would’ve given a 1 star.
Really good pizza and meatball subs!
Good local 🍕 resteraunt. I usually sit in the attached bar and have a beer with a calzone. Food and service are tasty and reliable. Delivery options are available.
Great quality Italian-American comfort food. I ordered one of the pan pizzas, and it was extremely delicious - sauce, cheese, dough all right on point. The starter salad was also tasty and very generous. Service was efficient, and the atmosphere/vibe the kind of non-pretentious family-run joint where you dine with friends/family without breaking the bank. Definitely worth a visit.
Just celebrated my son’s 19th birthday at Varlamos!!Fantastic service, atmosphere and food! Special shout out to Kosta and Judy for running such a wonderful establishment!!
Great food and great service. Love the family and the owner. Just ordered take out for the 3rd time. Its wrong for the 3rd time. Great place to eat in at. Tried to call to tell them about the mistake, got hung up on. My fault for not checking before I left, Again.
Horrible service. Extremely rude, not friendly. Very disappointing. Eric did not smile or greet customers or say hi. Definitely not returning.
Fantastic calzones! The Monday night deal for calzones is a great deal and a house favorite.
We come here for the calzones! Comes with a simple salad. Makes for a great weeknight meal that will have enough for leftovers! Generous with their toppings. Good, fast service, even with large groups.
I like Varlamos. The food is good. The service is good. They have a calzone thats the size of a football. I usually get the mini pizza and salad, its just enough for lunch. The food always comes out on time. They have sports going on the TVs and music going while you eat. Parking in that area is a bit tight but we always manage to find somewhere to park. Looks like they just remodeled and added a bar area as well. Always go back..
Best pizza in the greater Seattle area. And those football sized calzones...Wow! The staff is always superb as well!
I love the pizza and they are quick and friendly! A Seattle classic and neighborhood favorite.
This is the consummate family owned restaurant. Every bite is like it came straight out of a mothers kitchen.Youll never find a better meatball or flavorful pizza dough.
Great food, wonderful staff. Try it you wont regret it.
The gangster Pizza is a family favorite!
Quick service with great pizza, discount if you have a patient at the Childrens hospital. Pizza is deep dish style and delicious. I got two of the specialties which were fantastic. They also have a happy hour and bar area open after 4pm.
Delicious pizza, love the vibe of the restaurant and fantastic owners! Very caring people.
Been coming here for years. The people that work here could not be any nicer, they have all our orders memorized. The food is spectacular and we are eagerly awaiting the opening of their new bar area.
I have passed Varlamos everyday for over 6 years, and today we decided to stop in. While it was almost empty, it took several minutes just to be acknowledged by waitstaff. But, once we were seated, the service and food were wonderful! I absolutely loved my dinner and will go back soon.
We were here on vacation and this restaurant was right down the road from us. We got take out by ordering online which was quick and easy. The portions you get are huge and it was some of the best Italian food Ive had! If youre in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by!
Great pizza, friendly.
Went here because I was nearby and looking for food with my family. At first it seemed pricey but the portion turned out to be about 3 meals worth for someone my size, so it was actually pretty great! The sub was tasty
It was so delicious 😋
Fun place to try out. Local pizzeria. Then even had gluten free pizza available in any size.
Great location. Everything came of kitchen was fresh and flavorful. Services was good. Great atmosphere.
The best pizza Ive eve had. Amazing. Hoping to get some more today. We travel from Monroe its that good. Thank you.
Beat Calzones in Seattle! My family and I have been going here for years. It is a wonderful establishment with great customer service!
Ive been going to Varlamos for over a decade, and Im as big a fan now as a 30-something whos downing my weekly carb intake in one go as I was when I was a college student turning one calzone into lunch, dinner, then breakfast the next day. The food here, all of it, is just GOOD. Quality ingredients, recipes that have been perfected over time, and a quality beer selection to round out your meal. Combine that with a super staff, and you have a pizza joint Ill recommend to anyone whos listening.
Why is it so difficult to find good pizza in the Seattle area? It wasn’t by any means bad, but it taste like a pizza you would buy in a box at a grocery store and heat in the oven yourself.
Tasty pizza! A little pricey for me. Quick take out and good customer service
Fantastic pizza. I have not yet made my way through all of the House Specials, because I am stuck on the Vasili Special. Friendly staff and excellent service. Dont forget to start with the Greek Salad.
Varlamos brings friends, families, and the Laurelhurst community together. Serving fresh, unique pizzas and their signature football sized Calzones, this family owned establishment has a special place in my pizza loving heart. The owner always says hello to friends and regulars. Everyone loves Varlamos.
Awesome food. Calzones are great. Chicken Parm is great.
The pizza is excellent. Wait staff was attentive, prices were pretty good. Would go again
I was invited to dinner at this casual, clean and cute pizza place. It was easy to find, has parking around the corner, tasty cocktails at the quaint little bar, friendly service and great food. The Monday night special of a HUGE calzone & salad for $ 8.95 was unbelievable. Ill be back!!
Awesome service and great food. Worth stopping in and having a drink
Very dissatisfied. I spent my entire lunch (30 minutes) waiting for the mini pizza cook, which didnt even come out how I ordered it. I asked for bbq chicken with pineapple & olives, & got hawaiian. Salad was lettuce & a single tomato wedge. Inside the restaurant was pretty slow too so its not like they were slammed. Not likely to come back since wait time was so long for such a small order.
Great local pizza. Easily accommodates groups. Friendly staff. Great selection of drinks.
I have had a number of fine experiences at this establishment, unfortunately tonight was not one of them. I was greeted by a very nice bus person who seated me at 9PM and gave me glass of ice water, much appreciated as I was on a bike this hot day. Next to me was a large party finishing their meal, and in the booth behind me was another party who got service. I was ignored for the next fifteen minutes by a tall young lady and a tall young man who I assumed to be the waitpersons, each of whom walked by me several times without acknowledging my eye contact or even my presence, or the menu I put on the end of the table indicating that I was ready to order. Im an older guy and I was sitting alone dressed in my bike commuter clothes. Still I found this to be a somewhat surreal circumstance, I felt like the invisible man. After the guy walked by me the fourth time and the young lady walked by me the fifth or sixth, I finally decided to just get up and leave. I walked past the woman on the way out and she at least said hi or something. I told her I had been seated, waiting to order for fifteen minutes, and she was very apologetic. I said thanks, went next door to Jaks Grill and received the great service and a fine meal like I always have there. I have lived in the neighborhood 20 years and cannot say this experience is typical of Varlamos, but it was definitely a Twilight Zone evening. I wont be back. Dr. Jeffrey A. Short
There pizza is phenomenal! Very generous with their toppings and cheese. A little on the pricey side, but if you want fancy pizza loaded with toppings its worth it.
Great pizza! Bring your appetite.
Great pizza - great service!! Been going here for almost two decades and always leave happy.
Great service, great atmosphere, great food
Staple of the neighborhood, family owned and operated, fun atmosphere!
Pizza so good! I made the mistake of having a slice while walking out with my pickup order. Pizza so good that I couldnt stop eating it hot out the oven. It was burning my lips, tongue, mouth and I believe I burnt my teeth and gums. -) So good.
The brand new bar is awesome.But the pizza tastes awful. Paul Newmans Frozen Pizza tastes better than Varlamos.
The lasagna was delicious! Thanks for the yummy lunch.
Great service and good pie!
Great pizza. And great price.
Great salad and pizza, friendly service, great cost, and clean environment. Absolute gem!
They were able to accommodate our large (11 people) lunch group well.
Comfortable neighborhood sports pub with excellent pizza. Try the mini pizza for lunch, which includes a small house salad at a very reasonable price.
Our very large family has spent alot of time the last few months at Childrens Hospital. So glad we found this place. The food is great and the staff is too. I really appreciate the thoughful discount they gave us for our time at Childrens.
Great pizza and more. Friendly atmosphere
Great service, food and family 💕
Great neighborhood Pizza, pasta, calzone joint. Lots of sports team gatherings here. Love it!
Good food, nicely tasty. Love their calzone special. Ive enjoyed what Ive eaten there each time I go.
Its a great place. I eat there often. Great Calzones
Great local restaurant. Costa and the staff treat you like family, always taking the time to make sure you are satisfied.
Found our pizza place after being in Seattle for three years. Loved it! Great service as well.
Staff was great for a kids soccer banquet. Food was good too.
Nothing to brag about, it was extremely greasy. At around closing time staff doesnt want to do much. Damn near had to beg to get a pizza made for take out none the less. They acted like I owed them a tip. I worked in the service industry and lived off tips. Thats not a way too get tips for sure.
Good food. Nice people. Nice decor.
Amazing pizza, the Gangster is probably the tastiest pie i have ever had, bar jone, i was so surprised! The Margheurita and the pesto both excellent. Excellent wait staff, prices were great!
Best Mac& cheese I have ever had from a restaurant.
Nice experience, good quality pizza, nice overall service too.
Good portions, crazy good calzones
Very good pizza and apps, very friendly and fast. Walking distance from Childrens Hospital, and they gave me a 20% discount since I had my parent badge with me! Would eat again.
Great food, decent price. A Laurelhurst classic.
The meat calzone was delicious. Service was get and reasonably priced.
Great Food and service!
Discount Monday night calzones! Super great deal and last a couple meals as well. Sometimes they are not made with the correct ingredients which is a bummer.
Pizza was awesome. One tip if you can help it do not sit in a seat facing the kitchen. I spent all night looking at all the awesome looking food come out and questioning my order. In the end I was very happy that I did get the pizza.
Great place for good food, even better service, and a great atmosphere.
Great pizza and staff is fantastic
Wonderful food, family owned business that generously supports the community, great atmosphere and service too.
Great calzone literally football sized and stuffed to the laces with meat an cheese. Looking forward to more of their menu.
Good dinner. Staved off traffic while enjoying a good meal
If your really really hungry you found itXXL portions great prices
Great food, atmosphere and service! A true gem.
Calzones are so good! And huge.
Food was really good, service was excellent and i really liked how the owner walked around to each table to see how everything was
Excellent pizza, good prices, kid friendly, and great wait staff.
Big and fat Pizzas.. not that good! But the waiters are really nice.
Good place for families. Really good pizza.
Great food. Service a little slow but worth the wait.
Some of the best pasta around! Must try the pizzas, calzones and salads!
