“ I'm a fan of Detroit-style pizza and unusual toppings - Moto ticks both of those boxes. We tried Mr. Pig and Clam Chowdahhh - both were tasty. I didn't love the sweetness of the sauces on Mr. Pig, and the Clam pizza could use more clams (there is ONE clam per quarter slice - not kidding), BUT these are minor quibbles because this pizza slaps. Mmmm those crispy edges. We'll be back for more, for sure. ”

“ My son went and this is his review: "This is one of the most excellent pizza places I have been to! The taste of the pizza was excellent and the service was quick and nice. It had a chill vibe with video games and music. Five stars!!!!" And from my wife: "Vegan pizza usually tastes like garbage, BUT this one was PHENOMENAL!!" ”

“ Fantastic pizza, coming from the Detroit area this pizza was 100% on point! Best pizza in Seattle!! ”

“ Having just moved to the area about 2 months ago from Detroit, I was happy to see that Detroit-style pizza, the best pizza style (fight me), has grown so popular nationwide in the last couple of years, even making it to the Seattle area. I was a bit dismayed that pizzas from MOTO had to be reserved months in advance after reading some of the old reviews, but I guess at this point, it's expanded operations enough to operate more like a normal pizzeria. I placed a same day order online and was soon digging in. There are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, a focaccia-like crust, airy on the interior, but with a crispness on the bottom and sides that's somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be Wisconsin brick cheese, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized cheese ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the tomato sauce, just a smattering of it, is spread on top of the cheese. The crust must remain crisp without becoming soggy with moisture. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike about traditional Detroit-style, since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Any place that moves the pepperoni to the top is okay in my book. The pizza is typically made in only two sizes: 8in x 10in (aka Four Square) or 10in x 14in (aka Eight Square). The largest "shareable" pizzas made at MOTO are the four square size, which follows the trend of the more modern pizza joints in Detroit. MOTO also serves a personal size pizza that seems to be half a four square. I've never seen this size before, but it's nice touch! Pepperoni Pizza ($22) - I started with the pizza closest to a traditional Detroit-style pizza as possible. This pizza measures out at around 8in x 9in. Starting with the crust - the sides and bottom are appropriately caramelized with a nice slight crisp on the bottom and a good cheese crust on the sides. The center of the crust is compromised, compressed far too much from the weight of the copious amount of toppings, causing it to be more in line in texture with a NY-style pizza than Detroit-style. The crust nearer to the edges, on the other hand, is quite nice and airy and overall the crust is cooked very evenly and is not soggy at all. Cheese is melted on top of the crust, with what they call "Moto cheese blend." It's quite heavy, fatty, a bit buttery and milky, and almost a bit chewy. I don't know if it's pure Wisconsin brick cheese or if it's adulterated with a bit of mozzarella. They add absolute tons of pepperoni on top, way more than you'd find at any place in Detroit. They cup upwards and generally are cooked until crisp edges develop, although in some areas the slices are stacked on top of each other, causing the bottom layers of pepperoni to be soft. Finally, on top of everything else is a generous drizzle of tomato sauce and parmesan. The tomato sauce here is too tangy and acidic for my tastes. I feel like it could be cooked down a bit more to develop some of the tomato sweetness. Of course the entire pizza is a sodium bomb, but that's to be expected with the massive amounts of pepperoni. I wish the pizza were a bit lighter on the toppings, to allow the crust some breathing room and to lessen the levels of salt. To be fair, I found it to be better than some of the popular modern pizza spots in Detroit that feature soggy crusts, and also better than some of the mainstays that don't brown the pizza evenly. (3.5/5) Mr. Pig ($22) - I originally wanted the Personal size, but for some reason, it wasn't available for dinner. The crust is identically cooked, but the taste profile is completely different. It's mainly sweet and salty, with a slight bit of fruitiness. There's red sauce on top that's sweet and tangy, different from the tomato sauce on the pepperoni. There's a green sauce that's herbal, sweet, and quite citrus fruity. There's kind of a garlicky cheesy white sauce. A couple of chunks of fatty pork belly lie on top, with some chunks that are pure blocks of fat. Some sausage is scattered about, salty and a bit spicy. Some aggressively sweet onion adds to the dish. Overall, I think the flavors might be a bit too sweet for me, but it's nice to try. (3.5/5) For the freshest pizza, I arrived 10 minutes earlier than my pickup time and they had just taken the pizza out of the oven. Pricing is about 40-50% more than a similar pizza in Detroit (typical pepperoni only four square is $15-16). I feel like MOTO may be better served by removing some toppings and reducing the price. Pizza is all about the balance of ingredients and MOTO unfortunately doesn't excel in that regard. Still, it's an above average pizza and I would return. ”

“ We decided to check this place out and are glad we did. We had the beef adobo and cheese pizzas. The beef adobo was unique and very yummy, highly recommend. The cheese was also very good. My favorite is the crunchy cheesy sides of the pizza. Definitely worth a trip. Staff was friendly and helpful. ”

“ Delivery review In short Really good Detroit-style pie with some gourmet touches. In long Looks like they hype has died down and they have enough equipment and staff now to let you order more than once every 3 months. Nice! We checked them out on a delivery app to satisfy our curiosity. They're expensive but the quality is there and they're worth an occasional treat. Caesar salad Pretty decent portion value, some slices from brick cheese, dressing has some flavor. Lettuce is fresh. Croutons are bagged. Lemons were a little dry and under-powered. Overall a good salad and worth repeats--far from the bottom of the list. Black garlic cheezy bread (sic) Huge flavors, tons of garlic aromas from the first second you open the door to get your food. Nice crusty chewy bread. Probably about 12 square inches (2" x 6") of bread for $15. Kisssd (sic) Great flavors, just the right amount of hot honey, not overly generous with the toppings. 4 slices of pie for $23. Good stuff, and our appetites get lesser and lesser all the time, so this wasn't too bad. But there's a Detroit-style pizzeria near us with bigger pies and thicker, more-flavorful crust, plus more toppings, for about the same price. Bottom line, Moto is a solid choice and worth checking out more than once. That bread is very craveable. I don't have them #1 in the area but they're top 5, no question. ”

“ My faves were the Mr. Pig and thr Black Garlic Cheeze Bread. The flavors are very pronounced, not subtle... if you Luke Garlic, you'll love the cheese bread. The service was quick and friendly and a fun spot for the family to dine in. I will be back to try full size pies to see if it makes a difference in taste and texture. ”

“ Thought the ingredients tasted like they were high quality. Which I'm sure they were. All 3 of our pizzas tasted great. I also thought it was the right price point for what we were getting. Will have to say the Mr. Pig pie was the best IMO. The sauce with the lechon was on point. The All-In was solid as well as the Kiss'd. The store in Edmonds had a great vibe, 3 arcade games for free. Decor was great and gave off old diner vibes. Thought the boxes they came in were really cool and high quality as well. Pretty easy set up. You order on the screen and there's one up front to help and then there's a cook. The person at the counter was helpful with helping us select our pies. ”

“ I think the thing that stood out to me first about MOTO was their unique pizzas. They have classic toppings and then also beef adobo, crab, and clam chowder inspired pizzas. We got the clam chowdah pizza because the whole clams on the pizza stood out to me and the concept overall intrigued us. I was really impressed by the flavor of the pizza when I first took a bite. It didn't exactly taste like clam chowder, but it did take the elements and apply it to a pizza pretty well. I wish there were more clam pieces. The garlic chili oil crunch was a nice touch to it. The edges of the pizza were pretty crispy. I like my pizzas to be more crispier and I felt the non-edge parts of MOTO was not as crispy as other places that I had. I definitely want to come back here to try their other pizzas. The Mr. Pig sounds interesting to me. I think the price is okay for what it is. The pizza is definitely enough for two people. ”
