West Seattle restaurants: Pizzeria 22 hopes to open within 2 weeks

Once Bang Bar opens this Friday, that leaves three new restaurants on the watch list, by our count, and tonight we have an update on one – wood-fired Pizzeria 22 in the Admiral District (4213 SW College). We checked in with owner Cary Kemp for the first time in almost a month and a half (here’s our last progress report; we had first word of the restaurant in December). He says, “We are very close to completing the buildout and opening our doors. We hope to have the Health Department sign off this week or early next week and perhaps open on Monday the 20th. We are currently curing our oven, which will take about 5 to 6 days.”
