RESTAURANT REVIEW: Mount Baker’s Mioposto Pizzeria

COVID Status: The State of Washington has removed many COVID-19 restrictions, but the COVID-19 delta variant is spreading fast. As of August 23, masks are required for everyone in public indoor spaces, and recommended in crowded outdoor settings. For more information, go here.

Recommendation: While in the Mount Baker neighborhood, treat yourself and head over to Mioposto Pizzeria. You’ll be glad you did!

Background: I’ve been having lunch at Mioposto for many years. I plan my trips to listings around lunch at Mioposto, and it’s on my list for dinner. I’ve heard great things about their happy hour and dinners.

Location: I frequent the Mount Baker location (address below), but they also have locations on Mercer Island, Ravenna and West Seattle / Admiral.

Food: Mioposto serves sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and my favorite, wood-fired pizzas. For lunch, they have 8” pizzas served with a small salad of your choice. My favorite pizza is the Zucca Balsamica, which is: olive oil base, roasted butternut squash, pancetta, mozzarella, caramelized onions, garlic, rosemary, goat cheese, red pepper flakes and a balsamic reduction.

I’ve also tried all of their lunch salads and like them all. The choices are Caesar (Romaine, house-made eggless Caesar dressing, house-made croutons, grana), beet (greens, goat cheese, cracked Marcona almonds) and arugula (Arugula, Corto olive oil, lemon, grana).

Mioposto has several vegetarian options and the dinner menu also features some entrees in addition to the lunch menu. They also have pastries and espresso drinks for your commute to work.

Service: The servers have always been efficient, friendly and attentive on my visits to Mioposto.

Atmosphere: The Mount Baker location is on the corner of a 1930s building. The restaurant has a wall of windows that overlook a park. They have bar seating in front of the windows as well as tables throughout. They also have outside seating. The restaurant has brick walls and feels cozy and inviting.
