And we both wanted to use this as our cheat meal. First rule of cheat meal is never waste cheat meal. We pick Mio Posto. Upon entering I 'm struck by the scent of kid-less adults craving salty carbohydrates and a parent buzz. These are my people. After telling the hostess we 'll gladly split our 6 top with others if she screens for personality, we are seated. The atmosphere is 1940 's antique shop meets a space the cast of Friends would hang out in. Neon, bricks, wood, liquor bottles and the crack-like odor of artisan pizza being emitted by the oven in the middle of the room. Combined with the humidity I feel a boozy Bikram flash mob might erupt. Our waitress appears. Gazing out from the shadows of her tsunami-like, hipster bangs, she takes our order in a 'I like you but I still think I 'm better than you because I ride a fixie ' kinda way. Her recommendation: the pancetta and egg pizza. Some scotch, chickpeas, a nitro pour porter, blah blah blah. All foreplay. And then it came. No pomp. No circumstance. Just pizza. I took a bite. The house lights dimmed. God music began playing. Angels circled the room. A 12 ' golden glow enveloped our table. Pretentious bacon, loads of EVO, melty/salty/creamy cheese, hot sauce, a crust teleported from Sicily and...fried eggs. OH GAWD. How good was it? 16 hours later and it 's all I want, all I need. Like a positive form of PTSD, I can 't stop thinking about it. Lee 's Asian 's seven flavor beef, Buddha Ruska 's crack chicken, Jack 's burger, Ovio Bistro 's fried chicken, Bakery Nouveau 's twice baked croissant, you have been challenged. And beaten. The alpha, the omega, the silverback of West Seattle cuisine has arrived. It 's a fancy bacon and egg pizza. And you can get it at Mioposto.

Darren, bartender extraordinaire, took great care of us providing excellent drinks, conversation and service. The food was fab delish calamari, amazing beet citrus salad and of course, a yummy pizza. We enjoyed the cozy neighborhood vibe and can't say enough about the terrific service. Salute!

I had a stunning baked acorn squash with pancetta, Gorgonzola, roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic, and about six other ingredients. A perfect meal for one at a very friendly bar with a neighborhood restaurant feel.

We got the Margarita Pizza, Egg Pancetta Pizza, Shakshuka (I love that they have chickpeas in it), and Beet's Salad (my most favorite).

They use local ingredients and it is super cute inside. The watermelon salad was amazing. Great balanced flavors. The pizza was good but the sauce was a bit too sweet and thick for my taste. Maybe too much tomato paste? I just got backfrom Naples so my standards are high but I feel the crust was a bit too thin in the center but good on the edges. Solid pizzaplace.
