Slog - Comments on Late-Night Pizza by the Slice http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/06/latenight_pizza_by_t Finally! Middle-of-the-night slices! Juliano's is a new hole in the wall just up Pine from the Baltic Room that serves pizza until 3 a.m Thursdays through Saturday (and until 1:30 a.m. Sun-Wed). Juliano makes your slice to order (thin crust, generous toppings) and then sends it on a slow journey through a conveyer oven while you stand by salivating. Juliano (I'm only assuming that's his name) is a bit of a health nut; you'll find an array of fresh veggies on the toppings list. He's also got a good variety of cheeses (brie!), even a pretty damn edible vegan cheese....

He'll talk you ear off, even after you've paid. His ingredients are top-notch, and he takes pride in that. I ordered spinach on my pizza and to my surprise he dumped a huge pile of oil-balsamic-splashed fresh spinach on top of the pie. True, the decor leaves something to be desired, but such attention to the food at the expense of the atmosphere is pretty typical of real streetcorner pizza joints in Sicily, as opposed to your standard overpriced Olive-Garden Italiana with fake accents and cheesy murals.

Sweaty fat thighs sicken me, the smell of fat people is disgusting.

Pizza is the most fattening food ever.

3 years ago I wrote an urgent column about late-night pizza slices.

I think Hot Mama's stays open later now, but 3 Cheers!!! for Juliano's: The more late night pizza, the better.

There's going to be a new slice place opening up next door to the Hazelwood soon. Considering the fact that the proprietors recently spent a week in Italy researching recipes, I am highly optimistic about the joint.

Greasier, too. Good pizza demands a very light touch with the cheese. I hope that slice pictured isn't a sample of Juliano's wares, it looks foul.

Yay.

Oh wait, they're much more than a dollar each here.

Never mind.

Diet problems are CUMLITIVE, not dangerous in small doses.

Take it from a well manged diabetic who has learned all the tricks.

On the day you are gobbling the slices, decrase all fat, salt and other carbs. More veggies, soy drink, salads, and green tea.

Cheese is good protein, but also a lot of fat.

Good luck, just get smarter about eating and all is well.

Moderation. Your body can take the heat of a crazy-greasy meal, if you supplement surrounding meals with healthier fare.

This is some very old advice, from my very wise great granny ---- "don't ever turn down good organic protein, best when it is natural and free" .... so to speak.

Some spell it Cum and others, Come .... but it is all protein.

Or Joe. Not my cup of, uh, jizz. I like pizza, though, as long as it's not too cheesy-greasy.

A few years ago this guy took over a Pizza Time in West Seattle that we frequented, and we went in, and asked for extra sauce (because there is never enough sauce on pizza, and Pizza Time is actually not half bad with extra sauce) and he charged us for it (that's ok, even though the previous owners didn't) but then the "extra sauce" was a SIDE of sauce in this leetle plastic tub, the kind you put ketchup in. This tiny tiny blob of sauce. We returned the pizza, never to purchase pizza there again.
Anyway, the guy was wearing a sort of see-thru shirt and had a really hairy chest. So after that we called him Hair Pie. And Pizza Time turned into Julianos, and he left/went out of business shortly afterwards.
The sign at the place on the hill looks the same, but I don't recall the guy even trying to do anything except cheapskate the Pizza Time model even further, so maybe someone took over the name?
All I'm saying is, be explicit when you order extra sauce.

It looks like someone was trying to write in hebrew, but failed. Fancy.

Horrible rip-off. Stay away unless you are really drunk, in need of immediate gratification, or desperate for vegan cheese.

If you're none of these things, here's suggestion: QFC is open 24 hours a day. So is Safeway. Go in one of these places. For an extra dollar or two you can buy a frozen pizza and heat it up yourself at home rather letting this guy heat up a frozen pizza for you and then charge you $3 plus 50 cents a topping and tax for two small slices with a bunch of raw toppings dumped on top (in my case spinach). I'm glad hijacked liked this approach. But I don't need a damn salad on top of my pizza. Put some spinach on it. drop on a little extra cheese, like they'd do in NYC, and heat the bad boy up.

Why do it so badly when it wouldn't be that hard to do it right and truly have people jammed out the door.

I can't wait for the Ballard spot. I talked to one of the gals who is opening that place up. I'm more hopeful that will be good

Oh how I miss World Pizza. Why is Seattle such a mediocre pizza town. If they can do good pizza in Portland, why not here too?
