More like flatbread than pizza, this place never disappoints. When we have friends in town, it's a go-to.

Dare I say it? I think it's the best pho in a city that's known for pho. Cash only. (Don't go for the ambiance.)

It's only open for weekday lunch, and the line can be long (we've waited an hour), but I have never been disappointed by the fresh pasta here. There are only three dishes a day, and they are always fantastic.

The Link light rail is the easiest way to get to/from downtown and the airport. A one-way ride is between $2.25 and $3.00 depending on how far you go. If you plan on taking multiple rides, buy a day pass for $5.00.
