 So, Tony and Carmela walk into a pizza joint in Ballard, guns blasting. TV's favorite mob boss wants to know why the hell there's pineapple on a pie at a place bearing his name. Listed under traditional pizzas, no less. OK, Tony would probably be all right with the Maui. (Get a load of girth on... More >> |

 Staple & Fancy exists way down in the guts of Ballard-by the water, crowded in among the sailmakers, mini-storage units, and coffee shops that pop up like benchmarks of rapid gentrification.
