Via Tribunali - Capitol Hill

913 E Pike Street
Late Night Happy Hours: 10:30pm — close

Holler: Via Tribunali looks legit. A pizzeria that feels like the inside of a catholic church, complete with glowing stained glass and monastic-looking light fixtures dangling overhead, and featuring a sizable wood-fired oven squatting at the far end of the bar. Wooden pews instead of booths. A priest instead of a bartender and a confession booth instead of a men's bathroom. Nah, I made that part up. But it would have been cool. They were playing a fine selection of old-school hip hop, however. Score.


Hoot: Its one of those places we’ve walked by a half dozen times and each time I say: “that place looks cool. We should check it out one night”. I really dug the vibe. It seemed like a good date kinda place with the type of candlelight-esque illumination that benefits even the most unfortunate looking peoples. Who doesn't want to look good on a date?

Holler: If it weren't for dim lighting and alcohol, I'd still be a virgin. The personal pizzas were less than impressive. They offer 3 varieties at $5 each. Maybe their full size offerings are better. There was one beer on special (Maritime Pacific's Old Seattle lager). Not my favorite beer, but not bad. However, we did order some tiramisu (although the dessert was not part of the happy hour) and it just about changed my life.

Hoot: With its one beer offering, slim pizza pickings and stingy toppings, it didn’t give me much to hoot about. Granted, the crust was yummy, the whiskey and ginger was nice'n'stiff and the tiramisu was so good it made me want to punch yo' mama.

Holler: ...don't punch my mama.

Hoot: Just make sure shes well away from my tiramisu and nobody gets a mouthful of feathers.
