Hot Mama's is kind of a Capitol Hill institution. And they have some of the best pizza in Seattle there.
Its spartan and utilitarian nature and lack of comfortable seating are somehow endearing. I frequently stop by for a slice and a sit down for a few minutes in the middle of my day. The copious band posters and rack filled with copies of The Stranger and other local free newspapers just fills out the ambience.
Fast service,good quality pizza, cozy yet runs through traffic fast, good attitude
Fresh slice l pizza at 2am makes up for it being an otherwise forgettable slice. It was $3 and some change for pepperoni.
Came here after dancing at sugarhill soul. This place has good pizza slices. Long lines after dancing!
I had a simple delivery order placed via telephone. The person I spoke with on the phone was unfortunately very curt and seemed to have no manners (or patience) at all. Bad customer service. She posed her questions in such a way that it made me feel rushed, anxious, and on-edge, causing me to give her the wrong phone number in a haphazard response.
On the bright side, the delivery guy was really nice and the pizza was great. (The pizza gets 5 stars)
Nice place to grab a quick bite. Sucks that there is no seats.
can't be disappointed, their pizza is best in seattle. way more affordable than Rocco's but flavor's on point. if I am having gatherings with my friends, this is the place I would go for.
I like the food could use a little more cheese customer service was terrible that actually yelled at me for not ordering my pizza online and then they short-changed me when they gave me my change that a real nice delivery driver there I gave him a tip the two guys that work the front door were unprofessional
Good and cheap pizza by the slice ($3), great local alternative to Dick's if you are on a tight budget for eating out but don't want to keep eating burgers and fries. Good spot for a casual date or friend hangout, but seating is limited and noticeably so on weekends.
Nothing beats Hot Mama s pesto pizza after a night out. Love this place.
My personal favorite:
Large pesto, add chicken
NomNomNom! Winning!
I've had 4 different pizzas here, and if you're into big slices, thin crust, sloppy toppy grease, this is a top pick everytime.
Mario who? This hot mama gets it right in my book. I drove 500 miles for the green pizza, yum. Though miss the Chile oil
Despite living less than two miles away, I was told that they "don't deliver to addresses that are south." I'm still unsure what that means.
Cheap pizza at a great price! Their pizza is consistently delicious and worth the $3/slice. Seating can be limited but it's worth the wait.
The pizza is fantastic! Great spot to stop in for a quick lunch or dinner.
The only reason I give a four star is because the pizza is fantastic only if fresh! I ve had pizza that they reheat like most places and it s good, but fresh is beyond better!
The best slices of pizza on Capitol Hill! And they aren't trying to compete with college tuition prices!!! Meaning, the prices are right
The best deal in Seattle! It s quite yummy too thin pizza.
Greasy nasty pizza and the two guys in the back we're horribly rude. I work for a local courier and they stated that they live on tips and that I was rude. Then get a different job if you don't like it. I wasn't rude I just needed a itemized receipt for my company and we do a lot to get people to eat your nasty food, so be careful what you say. You'll (customer) find better pizza at domino's or if you're drunk.
Crust was not my favorite but the toppings were tasty and not too salty! They are also very efficient so a line out the door doesnt take forever!
Hot Mama's is the best pizza in Seattle. Fight me. When it comes down to it Dave's crew makes the best pie in town. Yes there are other incredible spots making Za with all kinds of fancy ovens and doughs and ingredients, but when you want a delicious pie around $20 or under ( the cost a pizza should be ) Hot Mama's is the Jam. Just because your eggs cost $8.99 doesn't mean a single pizza should cost $35 +. I don't care what the rent cost, pizza is suppose to be tasty and inexpensive. Stay Hot, Never change!
I <3 this place. Stop by for a slice! Veggie slices are the best.
It goes without saying, its almost a religious thing.
Great pizza-by-the-slice and for an amazing price! Highly recommend Hot Mama's!
Best by the slice lunch counter in Seattle. Pesto is a standout.
"nothing new coming out" was the lie of the night, me and my girlfriend had to eat the driest leftovers because they wanted to sell, seconds later I came back to grab some napkins and saw 3 new different topping pizzas they began to sell by the slice, I stood in line again and when they noticed I was back they took their sweet time with all the customers in front on me, after an hour we got tired and left (waited that long only cause covid has better businesses closed).
It usually is good but lately not so much and the new people they hired seem to be rude
The managers are probably the rudest people I have ever encountered. I came in for a remake on my pizza due to them making it wrong (asked for no mushrooms) due to allergy - they still made the combo with them on there. The managers then told me I was wrong and they wouldn t remake it - WHILE wearing a sweating string tank top with her arm pit hair out. Blew my mind!! The cleanliness is questionable now to me. Never coming back to this joke of a pizza place!
The staff is SO VERY friendly!! Stopped in late Monday night, 15 min. before closing. I asked if I had time to eat my pizza quickly before closing. Sure, you have plenty of time, said the polite friendly man playing my pizza. Very friendly staff and the best Pizza in Seattle. The Greek pizza is always my favorite. This place has the best pizza crust I ve ever experienced. Chewy crust yet has a very fine crunchy bottom to satisfy the most discriminating pizza connoisseur. Thanks to all the staff for making the best pizza and providing a friendly welcoming environment, it s so greatly appreciated.
Cheap and very tasty pizza! Is really near SCC so it is a good option for students to go grab some pizza for lunch or dinner.
Like New York slice pizza but on the opposite coast. Very good pizza.....
Best place for a late night slice after some heavy drinking
Solid affordable pizza, came here for dinner after not being able to get into stateside. Pleasantly surprised, had three slices: sausage, pepp, and pesto. For a solid representation of a NY slice of pizza, you can do a lot worse than hot mama's.
Sausage 4/5
Pesto 5/5
Pepp: 4/5
Crust 4/5
The best pizza I've had in Seattle. Real NY style pizza.
I'm born and raised in NYC and am a pizza fanatic. This is the best in Seattle. And I have eaten a lot pizza in NYC: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Long Island....
Hot Mama's definitely compares. When I'm in the area (which isn't very often), I call and order a large pie and have them leave it uncut so I can get it home and pop it in the oven and then I cut it myself. Great. Now I'm hungry.
There is no doubt in my mind that Hot Mama's makes the best pizza in Seattle.
Amazing pizza, cute little joint. Totally ordered too much food!
best pizza I've found in this state in over a decade, its only downside is I'm never nearby anymore.
hands down best pizza place in seattle. pizza gods and goddesses.
Nice to finally find some authentic NY-style pizza in Seattle. The place ain't much to look at, but when the pizza is this good, who cares?!
Great place for afternoon chats and hanging out with friends and family.
Also the perfect place to go to after you get done drinking.
It was good, but I can see that I ordered wrong, it could have been GREAT. Fresh pies would be so much better than reheated slices. I will be back, and order smarter!
Such great pizza and friendly staff. Great place to grab a slice and chill.
Very delicious they have free delivery you can buy full pizza or slice.. the workers are very pet friendly..
Good when you're out at night and don't want a hot dog.
Cheap and delicious. Would recommend the chicken slice and sausage slice. Pesto was kind of plain in my opinion.
Always hits the spot, live just grabbing a slice or 2, best slices on the hill. Can't get enough of the Pesto no where else in Seattle has better pesto pie
My favorite lunch spot during my work day. Excellent crust and toppings! Busy but the staff is awesome!
It was good, but not exceptional. You will be happy with it.
My favorite pizza in Seattle.
Fast by the slice pizza, lots of options, staff is super kind, not overly expensive.
Pizza quality is exactly what you need when it is late night and you are on capitol hill with the drunk munchies. It is Brooklyn style pizza, loaded with carbs and mediocrity. The customer service can only be described as disgruntled , intolerant and angrily judgemental. Do not expect any sort of a warm welcome. They have an awesome grateful dead pennant on the wall ... Which is the best part about the place.
Super cheap extra large slices. Great for a late night meal.
Not gourmet pizza, but definitely hits the spot after a night out. Also the staff here is so friendly!
Great Pizza, Busy but it's worth a wait.My kids love their green pizza.
Oh!!! I love this place. It's soooo delicious. It really is the best slice place in the city. I go here all the time and let me tell you - if you go, you will love the flavor of their slices.
Great option for pizza by the slice -- which is rare in Seattle. My favorite is the pesto pizza. But honestly the pepperoni is really good too!
Wish we lived near this pizza joint. Loved the pepperoni pizza and the sausage pizza. We would definitely be back but unfortunately we live out of state. Very tasty and we loved the more medium thickness crust.
Its always great and now they only serve through a window at their door but slices are fresh and everybody had a mask and proper PPE
