When the news hits your eye and it’s all pizza pie, that’s AMORE…
Zeeks Pizza
Last October, we were saddened to report that Zeeks Pizza’s Ravenna location (2108 NE 65th Street) had stopped serving individual slices of pizza at lunchtime:

Not e
nough foot traffic to keep the quality of the product where the company likes it, is the reason we heard.
HOWEVER, starting Wednesday, May 7, our Zeeks on 65th will start offering special lunch deals on weekdays, from 11 AM to 2 PM (dine-in only):
Small pizzas (up to 3 toppings): $10 (normally $11.45 and up, depending on toppings)
Small Signature pizzas: $12 (normally $16.95 and up)
Breadsticks: $4 (normally $5.95)
Add a half salad: $3
Add a fountain drink: $1
We were happy to learn that Zeeks responded to customers’ desires for more lunch options at our location. And while it’s not as simple and fast as the individual slices were, your pizza will be made for YOU, be super hot, and provide you with a leftover slice or two for an afternoon snack.
Mioposto
When Taverna Mazi closed (we believe it had been up for sale since at least February of 2013; also, apparently haunted?), its corner location in the more Bryant-y area of the neighborhood was snapped up quickly. The windows were covered up on the inside, and work began.
The news that Mioposto had taken the spot for its second location (the original location opened in the Mt. Baker neighborhood in 2006 ) was well reported in foodier circles (Seattle Met magazine’s “Nosh Pit,” Eater Seattle, and Seattle Weekly, to name a few), but on the local front, things are pretty quiet.
Move along, pedestrians. Nothing to see here. Yet. (Photo taken on April 26, 2014)
The new location has its own Facebook page now, but there’s not much going on there yet, either.
So far, the only sign on the establishment is the public liquor license application:
This is all well and good, but we’re HUNGRY. And we’ve heard good things about this place. They’re even going to be open for all three meals. BREAKFAST PIZZA, people.
Eater claims an open date of June 12 for Mioposto II. And while we’d never put money on a new restaurant opening on the day it claims it will open, we’re gonna get up extra early that day just in case.
