This two-month-old restaurant is probably the most buzzed-about pizzeria on the West Coast right now, a small, built-with-spit-and-Scotch-tape place in Ballard whose construction accidents, no-show cooks, and opening-night jitters have been chronicled on its owner’s blog. Sounds like a common enough story these days, perhaps, but Orangette is one of the world’s best-known food blogs, and author Molly Wizenberg and her husband, Brandon Pettit, started building out the space just a few months before Wizenberg’s book, A Homemade Life, hit The New York Times’ bestseller list.
