2 Saturday food notes: Ice cream and free pizza

Rain (we’re supposed to eventually see some) or shine, the weekend’s almost here, and we have two Saturday food notes:

MOLLY MOON’S GRAND OPENING: As of mid-afternoon the signage wasn’t up yet, but rainbow bunting was hung over the windows and workers were behind the counter at West Seattle’s new Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream shop in the ex-Cupcake Royale spot on the northeast corner of California/Alaska. (Watching the live camera for a while, we’ve also seen people coming out with ice cream, so MAYBE a soft-open?) As announced earlier this month, they’re planning to officially open to the public after a 3 pm Saturday ribboncutting, with free scoops for kids 12 and under until 5 pm. This will be the second ice-cream shop to open in West Seattle in less than two months, after Ben & Jerry’s on Alki.

FREE PIZZA: To celebrate the summer solstice (which arrives at 7:42 pm tonight), Pagliacci is offering free slices (no age restriction for this giveaway) at its West Seattle restaurant (4449 California SW) and almost everywhere else in its citywide chain, 11 am-3 pm Saturday, limit two per person.

Both places had customers. It’s amazing that two ice cream shops serving different types of ice cream can coexist!

What is the history of that space? When I was a kid it was LaGrace dress shop. What was it before that?Husky will keep its fan base. There’s room for two ice cream shops and locals love Husky’s.

Before La Grace, it was a Poll Parrot shoe store, sold mostly children’s shoes (my friend’s Dad worked there)…Boy am I OLD!!
