The emperor has no clothes... – My wife and I finally got to Delancey after hearing all the fuss. We were there 5 minutes after opening and still had to wait 90 minutes for a seat at the counter. This would have been fine if it had been necessary. The rude ass regulars that were absolutely CAMPING at the tables were the problem. Hey great...you're having a good time with your friends. But if you're still here 30 minutes after dessert...you are an ass! We ordered a Jersey Salad which was small and just OK and then had the roa... read more

Patience for pizza – I waited two hours for a table at Delancey’s on a Saturday night. Which is a long time, especially when you arrive at 5:30 p.m. to “beat the crowds.” I heard the pizza was fantastic and the crowds intrigued me. I feared it would be overflowing with screaming children in with their parents for an early-bird dinner out, but nope, it was quite the opposite.

Bite into the thin, wood-fired, crust and get a mouthful of sweet, crisp, crunchy goodness followed by a hint of fresh tomatoes and toppings such as the crimini mushrooms, tangy sausage and he... read more

Citysearch Editorial Review – There's not much to say about this tiny Ballard restaurant that hasn't already been said eight different ways; it was easily one of the most talked about openings of 2009, thanks to the local love for the owners: blogger/author Molly Wizenberg and her husband/pizza-chef Brandon Pettit. Calling the place a pizzeria does it a disservice, because it's much more than that--a sort of temple to pizza centered around a gorgeous brick oven and built out of Pettit's passion for creating a perfect pie.

Artisanal Locally Sourced Pizza – Approaching Delancey on a cold winter night you'll see steamy windows and candles sparkling on tables where people are engaged in conversation, sipping classes of wine. Brandon Petit warmly greets his regulars by name while tossing pizza dough by the oven. Delancey reminds me much of co-owner Molly Wizenberg's blog Orangette: simplicity with an artistic flair. The menu changes with the seasons, from a Billy's tomato salad during the summer months to a beautiful beet, grapefruit and house-mad... read more
