I'd been craving pizza for a few days and it took a while to decide which place to visit out of all those in the area - I'm glad I chose this spot! I got the 10" Calorosa, a perfect size for one person, and I'm suspecting it's their most popular specialty. The crust was spot on: great thickness and texture, and cooked perfectly. The sauce had a wonderful deep tomato flavor and not overly herby. Just the right amount of mozzarella with the classic stringy texture. Pepperoni not too spicy, and the sausage respectable quality (not those cheap little meat pellets). What really brought the flavor was the bacon - nice thick slices of smoky peppered goodness! Jacob was super friendly and provided great service - I could tell he enjoys working there and talking with him enhanced my visit. Thanks for the great pie! Bambinos is definitely on my list of places to revisit (next time I'll get a Tropicale + bacon).
My partner and I LOVE BAMBINOS!!!!! We have always ordered takeout, but we visited tonight for the first time. The owner is very kind, and we enjoyed chatting with him. The pizza is my favorite in Belltown, and the salads are fabulous, too. I am a little hesitant to post this because I always want to be able to have a table! ? Thank you guys for feeding us and for the wonderful experience. See you next time!!
Pizza and beer were wonderful. Only local IPAs but a huge selection. We would definitely come back. Tropicale hit the spot.
We enjoyed our calzones so much that we ordered a pizza to go for dinner. The food was delicious and served hot. We could see our food being cooked in the oven. The place was very crowded for lunch but we were seated promptly. Service was very attentive.
Not the best ambience compared to some other spots, but the pizza was good. They have a happy hour as well which was great (lots of beer and wine options!) It’s a fine spot if you are in the area and craving pizza, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come again. Service was on the slower side, but the people who worked there were super sweet
I had the Caesar's and for $9 the portion size was good. I could barely taste the dressing, and the slices of Parmesan cheese had the texture of rubber and no flavor.I followed with a meatball calzone and was similarly unimpressed with the taste. The pizza bread was plain tasting and the filling was just as uneventful. The green and red peppers tasted as if they have been pickled, which 1) surprised me since the menu didn't say they were, and 2) I didn't care for the vinegar taste.Not a terrible place but with better options literally across the street (at a higher price), I can't recommend Bambino's.**Pros**Prices are reasonableOkay atmosphere, clean**Cons**Bland foodLow quality ingredients
Service was very slow after we were seated. We didn't get water for 10 minutes and it took over 30 minutes after that to get the pizza. Pizza tasted cardboard like and the sauce didn't feel very high quality. I can't speak to the meat pizza but I did not enjoy the mushroom pizza. I also saw multiple people waiting in the store to get their pickup order and the waitress kept telling them 10 minutes until they had waited over 30 minutes. If you do end up going, I thought the calzone was marginally better than the pizza.
I was nervous reading the negative reviews but took the chance anyway. Glad I did. The Calarosa pizza was absolutely delicious! I arrived close to opening and was the only person in the restaurant. By the time I left it was beginning to fill up. I asked for the pizza to be a little well done. The combination of hickory smoked bacon and the smoked mozzarella is perfection.
So I want to start out by saying that both myself and others have had fantastic experiences here previously, this time was dramatically different, and this experience deserves to be told.There pizza itself was super tasty, we got the Genovese.According to the friend who picked up the pizza, they put in the pizza at the time they said it would be ready, when my friend arrived at the store.Do not buy the bread sticks, they are unseasoned rolled up pizza dough. There sauce tastes like store bought canned marinara.But when we opened the takeout box we did see two insects crawling around it. Which of course is not ok at all.So hopefully the restaurant sees this and fixes these issues.
Best pizza place in my life. I also love the variety of tap lists they have. Tried various types of ciders here.
