Lil' Frankie's Pizza, East Village

Address: 19 1st Avenue (at 1st Street)

Pizza Rating:


Ginny was visiting the city this week, finally back from Thailand, so we took the opportunity to check out Lil' Frankie's in the East Village. The pizza was... blah. It was fresh, with good ingredients, but kind of starchy and bland. However, they had a great beer selection, a nice and informative bartender, and a pleasant atmosphere (even though we didn't get to sit in the backyard garden). Even though Lil Frankie's seems to do a lot of pizza business, the highlight of our meal ended up being the homemade ravioli of the day, Ravioli di Zucca (squash) with truffle oil, which Ginny ordered for $15.95. It was especially delicious. Maybe Frankie should put as much care into his pizzas as he does into his pasta.

We tried our first, or second I suppose, Seattle pizza tonight. Not bad at all, and a pretty typically Seattle scene all in all.
