I will not shop at Trader Joe’s because of their blatant disregard for the environment as seen in their so-called "produce section", where most of their produce is wrapped in plastic. I shop almost exclusively at Madison Market, Pike Place Market, or the Capitol Hill Farmer’s Market when it’s in session, buying organic and making almost everything from scratch at home.

As a Trader Joe’s shopper, our family is doing our best to only consume USDA organic produce. I applaud Pizza Fusion for giving my family a place to take my dine out that is equally committed to serving quality organic pizza.

Sure their price is slightly higher than conventional pizza however their ingredient cost must be higher than conventional ingredients.

I for one am willing to pay extra to serve my family organics over conventional produce and the kids like the idea of the environmental initiatives. I think the company slogan is saving the earth one pizza at a time.

We are looking forward to the next visit.

That’s a really good point. Olives are decidedly not local. The bottled water definitely made me think twice.

I’m mildly irked that a place that touts being green sells bottled water and that focuses on local ingredients has tapenade.

I’d really like to know whats on the seasonal pie right now….

At least this place bakes the pizza for you. That’s the biggest downside to Zaw in my opinion. I’ve tried both once each, and likely won’t give em a second chance because of price.

Thanks for the report. I want to try this place, but there’s so much pizza I already know I like that I haven’t been willing to take the risk. Plus, seems like an awful time to open up a pricey anything, let alone a pizza joint. I feel like the place and Zaw are going to have to work hard to earn the diminished consumer dollar. Good luck with that.
