You can wander Woodinville for weeks, but ask anyone who loves good food — Vivi Pizzeria always comes up. Right in the heart of the Hollywood District, this local spot calls out to families, friends, and food lovers with simple, crave-worthy dishes. No secret passwords, no need to dress up. Just the smell of pizza baking, the clink of wine glasses, and the happy sound of your stomach rumbling.
Vivi’s Pizza: More Than Cheese And Crust
Everyone comes for pizza. Why? Because Vivi’s pizza tastes like it came from an Italian kitchen, with bubbly crust, creamy cheese, bold tomato sauce, and toppings stacked just right. The ovens turn out pizzas with golden, crisp edges and gooey centers. Try the Pepperoni for a classic fix, or grab a Margherita, bright with tomato and basil.
If you love something a little wild, branch out. The Tanina Pizza brings in flavor with toppings you rarely see elsewhere. Gluten-free? No problem. Vivi offers gluten-free and vegan pizza options, so nobody feels left out. Slice, bite, sigh — this is comfort food in perfect form.
Can’t Miss Appetizers
Hungry before your pizza arrives? Vivi’s antipasti menu sets the right tone. Start with crispy Calamari Fritti for that perfect crunch or cheesy, melty Arancini for the ultimate shareable snack. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken never disappoints, showing off juicy, tender meat under a blanket of seasoned breading.
Other must-haves:
-
Caprese: Fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, and basil with a balsamic drizzle.
-
Polpette: Four hearty meatballs in rich tomato sauce.
-
Truffle Fries: Golden, salty, and luxurious with parmesan and truffle oil.
-
Fried Brussels Sprouts: Crispy edges, savory bites, all chased with pancetta and parmesan.
Fresh And Bountiful Salads
Salads at Vivi Pizzeria don’t mess around. Hungry for a meal in a bowl? The Chopped Salad is loaded with romaine, tomato, avocado, garbanzo beans, olives, Gorgonzola cheese, and slices of salami tossed with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. If you crave a lighter bite, dig into the Insalata Avocado with crisp cucumber, tomatoes, and mellow Kalamata olives, finished off in a zesty vinaigrette.
Other favorites:
-
Rugola e Pere: Pears, arugula, seasonal berries, fennel, and pecans with gorgonzola.
-
Wedge Salad: Iceberg, crispy pancetta, tangy blue cheese dressing, and toasted hazelnuts.
-
Brussels Sprouts Salad: Shaved sprouts, walnuts, pecorino, local honey, and lemon.
Pasta Perfection
Pasta lovers, rejoice. Rigatoni Boscaiola brings together beefy tomato ragu, sweet peas, mushrooms, and a hint of cream. Spoon up the Lasagna — layers of tender pasta, soft cheese, well-seasoned meat sauce, and bubbling bechamel.
Try out Penne alla Vodka, with plump shrimp in a rich vodka cream sauce, or keep things old-school with Spaghetti Bolognese. For the ultimate comfort meal, there’s nothing like the Spaghetti Carbonara, packed with crispy pancetta and dusted with black pepper. And if you want a taste of the sea, the Fettuccine di Mare delivers seafood in garlicky white wine sauce.
Sip, Smile, Repeat: Drinks At Vivi
What’s Italian food without the right drink? Vivi’s drink menu is stacked with local and Italian wines, craft beers, and cocktails that make the whole meal sing.
Cocktail favorites include:
-
Vivi Spritz: Your choice of St. Germaine, Limoncello, or Orangecello, mixed with Prosecco and soda.
-
Spicy Vivi Marg: House jalapeno tequila, lime juice, agave, with a hint of heat.
-
Amante Bellini: Strawberry, vodka, Prosecco, and orange juice for a fruity finish.
-
Spritz Veneziano: Aperol or Campari for those who like a real Italian classic.
Wines are offered by the glass or bottle, featuring picks from local producers and Italy. Red, white, bubbly, or rosé — the bartenders are ready with expert pours. Beer lovers can grab a pint of local draft any night of the week.
Don’t skip soft drinks or the Italian sodas, served in a rainbow of rotating flavors.
Happy Hour That’s Actually Happy
Pull up a chair for Vivi’s Happy Hours, every weekday from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. The deals are worth clock-watching, with crisp fries, cheesy Formaggi pizza, buttermilk fried chicken, and half Caesar salads at wallet-friendly prices. Sip a glass of Sangiovese, a cool draft beer, or a pour of Prosecco, each for less than you’d expect.
Decadent Desserts
Save room for dessert. Vivi’s Tiramisu is pillow-soft, with espresso-drenched ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. Creamy, sweet Cannoli show up dusted with powdered sugar and chocolate chips. Limoncello gelato, pistachio custard, and towering chocolate cheesecake hit the table when you want to go big. Kids (and kids at heart) can ask for a scoop of gelato or sorbetto, too.
Bring Your Friends, Bring Your Appetite
Family dinner, date night, or celebrations with friends — there’s a seat for everyone at Vivi Pizzeria. The space is casual, with a lively vibe and a pretty patio for sunny days. Catch up over plates of pasta, fill up on pizza, and make your meal as slow or as speedy as you like. The friendly crew brings out every plate with a smile.
