West Seattle Herald Friday, July 8, 2011 5 Pizzeria 22 opens in Admiral District Thin crust pizza cooked incredibly fast, in an elegant atmo- sphere By Patrick Robinson Getting Pizzeria 22, the new thin crust pizza restaurant open in the Admiral District has been a six month process for owner Cary Kemp. Finally, June 27 arrived and the next phase, actually operating, can begin. As the West Seattle Herald pre- viously shared, Kemp has a busy schedule, doing up to 20 catered events per month but will now scale that pace back as he gets the restaurant going. Located at 4213 College St. (across from Blockbuster Video) the restaurant occupies a reason- ably narrow yet elegantly remod- eled space. The back wall is adorned by a painting of an erupting Mt. Vesu- vius painted by Torrez. He held a soft opening the previ- ous week and it went well. "The soft party was awesome," Kemp said. "It couldn't have been a better night. It was amazing." Just prior to opening Kemp hung a good luck charm over the door- way, an ornament of Pulcinella. Kitchen Manager Carl Schu- mann said they keep the oven hot 24 hours a day (though not on fire the whole time) which makes get- ting it up to the 900 degree operat- ing temperature easier. They seal it up at night so it retains the heat. "It's been challenging," said Kemp of getting everything ready to go. "There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that it's open you can expect $5 8 inch pizzas during happy hour (stop by to ask for spe- cifics) but the hours of operation at Pizzeria 22 are Sunday through Thursday 4pro- 10pro, Friday and Saturday, 4pm - 1 lpm. Though you might assume it's for 21 and over only, Pizzeria 22 is a family restaurant. "My two girls would kill me if I opened a pizza place that they couldn't come to," he said.

Patrick Robinson Pizzeria 22 has opened in the Admiral District at 4213 College St. Owner Cary Kemp said it has been challenging to maintain his existing catering business and open the restaurant too but he's very grateful for the community interest and support. .........
