A favorite from a local pizza shop that opened recently https://dinostomatopie.com/ https://dinostomatopie.com/ - very much intentional. The design credit tucked in the bottom links to a nice writeup on making this site, but currently has an cert error - https://www.madebyneversink.com/ https://www.madebyneversink.com/

"the second best pizzeria in seattle" Sold! I've found going for second best almost always has a superior cost-value ratio! You can eat sushi in Tokyo at Jiro's... or go to the second best place at a fraction of the cost.

  Dino's definitely would not meet your cost-value expectations, they're exceedingly overpriced. They're located on a busy block of popular bars in a hip neighborhood, and they use hipster-ironic self deprecation as part of their marketing schtick, but their pricing is definitely "what the market will bear" and their quality is fairly average. If you want the second best pizza in Seattle, definitely go for the more unassuming Big Mario's.

    Don’t know why you’re being downvoted... Dino’s is pretty meh. The drinks weren’t all to impressive either.

This is a working link: https://madebyneversink.com/ https://madebyneversink.com/ There is no certificate for "www" for whatever reason.

Haha I almost linked to Dino's site in my comment. Their window art is also silly and self deprecating ("the longest bar in Seattle" etc).

  Can you explain what you mean when you reference “the longest bar in Seattle”? I’ve been their and seen their (fairly short) bar and left a bit confused.

    It's printed on their window, and that's the joke.

Their pizza may be good, but if their website exhibits all the worst features of GeoCities from way back when, they are certainly never getting any business from me. You wouldn’t buy a vehicle made yesterday that had all the worst features of the original Ford Model T, would you?
- mercer 6y ago
  Your analogy would perhaps make sense if there's a documented causal link between a pizzeria's shitty website and the quality of their pizza. Did I miss some ground-breaking research on the matter?

  > Their pizza may be good, but if their website exhibits all the worst features of GeoCities from way back when, they are certainly never getting any business from me. I checked out your website in the hopes of discovering this was intended as some kind of really hard to detect ironic antihumor, but it seems sincere. Buddy, you listen to Lords of Acid, the Geocities of music. Lighten up :)

  Are you kidding, that website is awesome! So self-aware and ironic, I love it!

There's nothing bad about that design at all. It's fast, functional, fun, obviously retro on purpose. It's quite good actually.

  >Retro I think they went a little overboard. If they dialed it back it would be a nice homage, right now it’s a callback to the worst of the worst, which is also fine because clearly that’s what they were going for. I just enjoy subtlety.

  On ipad the animations stopped midway on the first load, leaving me perplexed at what “TA”, “DE” would mean in the main block. I’d argue a design that is more prone to failure is bad design. The rest is all subjective, more power to them.

I love this kind of web design. So much more authentic and creative than "professional" design. It's a timeless design while the industry's trends for boring cookie cutter websites change constantly and nobody will remember them.
