Madame K's Review

If you're looking for a fun, casual spot, check out this cozy pizza place in the heart of the historic Ballard neighborhood. The restaurant has adopted a bordello theme, which makes it particularly popular with young couples and lively groups of friends. The pizzas are good, but it's the atmosphere -- pure Victorian brothel -- that makes this place worth recommending. (Supposedly there really was a bordello on the upper floor of this building back in the early 1900s.) In summer, try to get a seat on the back deck. Artichoke lovers should try the artichoke lasagna or the Artie Parmie pizza. Oh, yes, and don't forget to order a Chocolate Chip Orgasm! Note: Because this is considered a bar, you must be 21 to eat here.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
