OMG -- they deliver wine?

Well then, given that the last good reason for leaving the house has been eliminated, I can now begin the slow, stately process of fusing to the upholstery of my couch.

shit, places like this make me anxious for the day the economy crashes down on seattle's collective (and pretentious) head.

I'll bump into dan at the dog shelter on 15th, we're both looking for a pit bull. To eat.

Everywhere will be like the OLD frontier room.

Wine delivery good idea, but raw pizza delivery? Worst idea ever.

Uh, not to be bitchy, (but, why the hell not; it's been a crummy day), but it's not very close to the Elysian...it's 15th and Pine which is three blocks away from the Elysian.

And that mjgirl "review" sounds very fake.

And the overuse of the apostrophe is revoltingly twee.

Do we really need a yupped up Papa Murphy's?

I love the idea, and it's a block from my house, but seriously, for those prices I can get a pizza already baked and delivered (with a free salad) from piecoras, or palermo, or even pag's.
I might as well save 10 bucks and go to papa murphy's.

We have something like this in Chicago, called Homemade Pizza Company. It is a good idea in theory, but an enormous rip-off from a price perspective. Just as expensive, if nor more, than actually going out to eat at a good pizza place...

Just because this is the very first and the only thing mjgirl has ever posted doesn't prove it is fake. The fact that she uses stupid terms like "appiti'zaw" exactly as marketed, with a straight face, no *barf* *barf* asides or anything, is what proves it is fake.

Umm…delivering booze is so not legal in Washington state.

@10
I know this state has fucked up liquor laws, but can you elaborate on this?

Go to safeway.com. Click on Safeway Home Delivery in the bottom right. Put in a WA zip code in the New Guests box and click Browse Store. Click Shop by Aisle > Beer, Wine & Spirits. Pick out some booze, hand over all your personal data to the Safeway Club, and you're all set...

So yes, it's legal. You can also call a taxi and have the driver pick up beer and wine for you. Which is probably cheaper than the 'Zaw thingy.

I had pizza from - ugh - 'zaw on Sunday evening. After a mere 20 minutes, including walking home and pre-heating the, we had some pretty damn good pizza. It was called the "Viet'zaw." I'm still trying to figure out this might be racist or... something. Look, I'm really trying not to like this place, but it's making it pretty hard.

The beer and wine thing? I'm not so sure they deliver. I think it's still illegal. I used to live in Tucson, where beer & wine were deliverable. Tucson maybe be the place where dreams go to die, but at least you can get your drunk delivered. Still, with 7-11, Safeway, and Madison Market so close, you'd be a fool to order the yet-more-marked-up beer and wine from 'zaw if you have it delivered on the hill.

I gave Zaw a shot and it's totally over-priced and tastes just like Papa Murphy's take-n-bake, imo. And they don't have their game together--I had to wait 15 minutes to get an UNCOOKED pizza, when I was there in person.

Kozmo.com used to deliver beer & cigarettes.

Zaw pizza is sooo delicious but I probably won't order again until they get better vegetarian pizzas.

Only assholes refer to pizza as "zaw".

"Most sophisticated of palettes"? Whadda they do, paint?

It's PALATES!!!!! PALATES!!! THAT THING IN YOUR MOUTH IS A PALATE!!! THAT THING IN YOUR HAND IS A PALETTE!!! THE STUFF ON YOUR PALETTE SHOULD NOT TOUCH YOUR PALATE!!! (unless you are a five-year old with non-toxic paint, in which case it still shouldn't touch, but it won't kill you).

Sorry for the rant, Seattle. Won't be able to taste your pizza any time soon.

I just ordered a Blue Pear (exact name?) pizza -- it was square and had bosc pears, gorgonzola and walnuts. It tasted great. However, it was $15 and 2 of us were hungry after we finished it. Jury is still out on the 'zaw. Perhaps better pricing or slightly bigger pies.

Was excited to try this last week, but wound up being pretty disappointed. The toppings were fresh, but the crust was just awful, even cooked on a pizza stone. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since they *just* opened and were ridiculously nice. Check back in a few months.

I have no idea if their food is any good, but their menu is horrendous. Before I even got past the cover, I was saddened by the fake stamp/brand logos (set at the perfect angle) and the words: "adored by herbivores, carnivores and localvores." I see they're trying to be clever, as they've kept it all-lowercase, as per douchey under-condo guidelines...but "-vore?" As in the Latin "vorare," meaning "to consume or devour?" Really, "localvore?" Izzat wot ya meant, 'zaw?

Ignorance, Freudian slip, or did the person who wrote the copy try and slip in a little jab?

These boring condos with the tanning salons and Quiznos on the bottom are indeed consuming any remaining local charm in Seattle. (Full disclosure: I cannot afford a condo anywhere on planet Earth.)

Yes, make the jump from the boring condos to the boring people who buy them and have no problem saying "'zaw." I guess I need them around to feel better about myself...

Looks like they have two more locations: Ballard and South Lake Union. Shocking!

PS- corner stores have been delivering beer and wine and weed forever.
