Varlamos Pizzeria

Title: "A Taste of Pizza Paradise with a Dash of Maddie’s Magic!" Review: Oh, Varlamos Pizzeria, you've officially stolen a pizza my heart! 🍕💕 From the moment we stepped into this charming pizzeria in Laurelhurst, WA, we knew we were in for a treat.
The ambiance was cozy, inviting, and carried a delightful aroma that made our taste buds tango in anticipation. Our fantastic server, Maddie, swooped in with an infectious smile and a world of recommendations.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she passionately described the Tortellini Bella Peppa, a dish that transcended the boundaries of pasta perfection.
With every heavenly bite, it felt like we were doing a little pasta dance with the Italian gods themselves. But the feast didn't stop there! We indulged in the lasagna, meatballs, and the glorious Formaggio Calzone.
Each dish delivered a symphony of flavors, leaving us speechless (and fork-full).
The taste explosion was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece! Speaking of the Formaggio Calzone, I must warn you—this heavenly creation is not for the faint of heart...
or stomach! It arrived at our table, the size of a football, daring us to conquer its cheesy magnificence.
We bravely accepted the challenge and emerged victorious, albeit in a delightful food coma. Now, let's talk about portion sizes.
Varlamos Pizzeria, you have officially mastered the art of fairness! The portions were beyond generous, ensuring we left with satisfied appetites and happy souls.
This place is a haven for families, where both young and old can gather, indulge, and create lifelong memories over mouthwatering meals. To top it all off, the prices were more than reasonable, leaving us with an extra reason to rejoice.
It's rare to find a pizzeria that offers such quality without breaking the bank.
Varlamos, you've won our hearts (and stomachs) with your incredible value. In summary, dear Varlamos Pizzeria, you've enchanted us with your mouthwatering dishes, exemplary service, and a cozy atmosphere that feels like a warm hug.
We're already planning our triumphant return to experience more of your culinary magic.
If you're in Laurelhurst, do yourself a favor and visit this hidden gem—you won't regret it! Buon appetito and a standing ovation for Maddie and the Varlamos team! We got: The Meatballs (bar menu!) The Tortellini Bella Peppa (the star of the show for me!) “Cheese tortellini sauteed with fresh garlic, roasted red peppers and sausage in a spicy Alfredo sauce.” *don’t skimp on the red pepper flakes! Chefs kiss! Muah! The Lasagna The Formaggio Calzone “Swiss, Parmesan, Feta, Ricotta and Mozzarella.” Ps.
You’d think that the side salad would be meh… but it’s actually tasty! 5/5 for price, family friendly vibes, Maddie (our server), and tasty food.

Great, large portioned foods.
We enjoyed salad, calzones and pizza and sandwiches.
Definitely worth he price.
4 big screened tvs playing final four! Staff was kind to us first timers.

Called in an order of calzones to go from the resto one evening on the way home.
Hubby had a craving for the pesto, pine nuts and dried tomatoes calzone he used to have regularly from Varlamos - he said it was the best one of all the places he has tried.
I ordered a meat calzone for the little kiddo. The calzones both came with a side salad and our preferred dressing in a small container.
The calzones were huge (each was good for two small adults) but my kiddo loved his so much he insisted that I give the restaurant 5 stars, and asked if he can have the left over the next day (he devoured 2/3 of the dish).
I had the two salads (they were nice and crisp) while hubby guiltily ate all the pine nut calzone. The calzones were made to order so we waited a while for the order but it was worth it. So, five stars for the pizzeria as ordered =)
