Big Mario’s Pilgrim Pie. Sorry. No delivery on Turkey Day.

With Piecora’s shuttered and awaiting demolition, one of the small traditions of Capitol Hill Thanksgiving is gone. Every year, the restaurant opened for a come-all Thanksgiving feast. Don Jensen, executive director at Community Lunch on Capitol Hill, tells CHS that the tradition is still alive with his group and All Pilgrims Church:

I wanted to let you know that Community Lunch on Capitol Hill will be serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal on the 27th at 5pm at All Pilgrims Church, and it is open to EVERYONE! We will have turkey and all the trimmings, and it should be a great meal. I have attached our turkey flier promoting it. All Pilgrims is at Broadway and Republican, entrance on Republican. We will be serving from 5-6pm.

If you’re interested in learning about this and other “feed the hungry” and volunteer opportunities in the area, here’s a roster of local food banks and organizations that are busy this time of year.

Capitol Hill also offers feasts for budgets of mostly every level. Here are some of the special Thanksgiving plans for Capitol Hill food and drink Thursday of the more “last minute” variety. Please let us know about anything we missed.

  • Hopvine: “We are offering a delicious holiday meal this Saturday. Stop in for a whole roasted pig with all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes! Prix Fixe and a la carte. We will also have Sierra Nevada Celebration on cask!”
  • Julia’s: Tradition!1511777_10152392755091447_7662533836744593417_o
  • Lost Lake: “Classic Turkey Supper: Sage and rosemary roasted turkey (light & dark meat) served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, hot turkey gravy and house made cranberry chutney. $14.99”
  • Comet: We’re going to be honest. We’re more interested in this:
    Seahawks vs. 49ers at Comet Tavern
    Come for dessert & booze & leftovers –
    $5.00 Turkey Stuffing Sandwiches: herb roasted turkey, cranberry chutney, mayo and home-style stuffing served on Texas Toast!
    $6.75 slices of A La Mode Pumpkin Pie
    $5.00 Fireball Shots
    $5.00 Pumpkin Spice Cider Drafts
  • Big Mario’s: We include yet another Dave Meinert creation because it’s funny every year. And it’s probably pretty good:
    The Pilgrim Pie: Roasted turkey breast with stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce, all on top of our classic New York Style crust with a garlic-olive oil base, dripping with mozzarella cheese.
    Sweet Potato Surprise: Everyone’s favorite holiday side dish has finally made it onto a pizza just in time for the Mario’s Family Thanksgiving Celebration! Brown Sugar glazed sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows. Garlic-olive oil base and mozzarella. Just like mom used to make.
  • Plum: “Pistachio Crusted Tempeh with Sauteed Lemon Slices and Mashed Potatoes with Gravy”
  • Manhattan: Get fancy with a $38 three-course meal — you can order the same menu for takeout but you need to call by 9 PM Monday night.
