Beyond the Usual: Two Food Finds
A pizza counter in Seattle and handcrafted dumplings in Arlington, plus three more places to browse.
Browse for the detail that makes a place worth saving: a pizza counter tucked inside a grocery store, or a kitchen focused on handcrafted dumplings. This pair connects Seattle and Arlington through everyday food, not a shared neighborhood. Treat them as separate discoveries, not stops on one local route.
The find: Seaport Pizza is a counter-service spot inside the Westlake Whole Foods Market in Seattle. Custom-ordered pizzas sit alongside daily specials, with vegan and vegetarian options available.
Why browse: The setting is part of the appeal: a pizza stop within an everyday grocery destination. Save it for its custom-pie focus rather than assuming a stand-alone pizzeria.
Find it: 2210 Westlake Ave, Seattle, WA 98121.
The find: Tiger Dumplings centers its kitchen on handcrafted dumplings and traditional Chinese dishes along Washington Boulevard in Arlington.
Why browse: Where the first pick pairs pizza with a grocery-store setting, this one puts dumpling-making at the center. It is a different city and a different food focus, connected by the pleasure of finding a specific reason to stop.
Find it: 3225 Washington Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201.
Keep Browsing: Three More Places
Keep the browsing list open across different cities:
- Fiesta Burritos — Temple Hills, Maryland: Burritos and quick handheld bites on St Barnabas Road.
- Guru Curry House (Oakland) — Oakland, California: Traditional Indian curries and rice, with dine-in and takeout.
- The Pole — Mill Valley, California: A local landmark in the hills, for a change of pace from food-focused finds.
These are additional discoveries, not nearby stops on a single itinerary.
