Cora Pizza Plates - Seattle

I really wanted to like this place as it's 5min from my place. But on principle I will not return. I was forced the pay 20% gratuity for take out. Not only was the waitress not accommodating, but just not worth the almost $30 for one small pizza.Service: 1/5

I have a very short list of reliable restaurants these days, as my husband and I don’t get out much. But when we do, we want a place that’s consistently tasty with a welcoming atmosphere, plus one that provides a decent value for our money. We also love sharing, so a menu with a small diversity of interesting options—mains, apps, sides and salads—is always appreciated.So, I’m delighted to say that I’m adding new Cora Pizza Plates to my roster of go-to restaurants. Opened just in time for spring eating, @coraseattle is the baby sister of @larkseattle. The neighborhood restaurant follows the family ethos of using seasonal and local ingredients to create approachable and delicious food, delivered in a laid-back atmosphere with friendly service. Check, check and check!Four of us visited Cora on a Thursday around 6:00. Since they only accept reservations for six or more, we got there early. Lucky us, no lines! JM met us with a smile and seated us at a booth. Although the small room is open plan, you can still hear each other across the table. I only captured a few of our drinks/dishes before we dug in. Between us, we shared seven courses and there was not a crumb left on the table. That said, I think the perfect combo next time will be three starters/salads/sides and two mains (pizza/pasta). Oh yes, and dessert. Light and lovely, it finished the meal on an up note.Our evening’s picks:??Chicken liver mousse??Fresh mozzarella??Pear salad??Funghi pizza?Rigatoni Cavalo nero?Lemon budinoTwo of us tried the house special pre-batched cocktails: ? Negronis and Manhattans; the others, red wine ?. All ??. On top of the memorable food, altogether dining at Cora felt like a pre-pandemic experience: easy, affable and affordable—just like old times at a new place. Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious choices.

Good pizza, super friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere, reasonable prices. Will definitely go back. They had room to seat a party of 2 at 7pm on a Friday night, which was an unexpected plus.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options availableDietary restrictions: They also had gluten-free pizza crust which was made in-house

Had an excellent experience! really enjoyed the great food and atmosphere! Sara was a great server as well!

Fantastic new format from a well-established Seattle restaurant team. Cozy, inviting, delicious, friendly, and date-night casual. Where else can you get a James Beard award winning chef to make you a reasonably priced pizza?We split a delicious duo of appetizers (pear salad with arugula, radicchio, hazelnuts, and Oregonzola; warm artichoke and white bean dip w/ crostini grana padano , a Verde pizza (excellent crust, interesting flavors, good size , a puttanesca (amazing, really complex for such a traditional dish , and some wood roasted carrots (don't skip your veggies here . It was a good amount of food for two and didn't leave room for dessert.Cocktails were strong and traditional, wine list was interesting and reasonably priced (ever tried Orange wine? .I highly recommend a visit to Cora for your next date night.
