Does the addition of new food vendors at local venues make your community more appealing?
Pizza Rasoi has launched its kitchen operations within the existing Outer Planet Brewing space located at 1812 12th Ave. The expansion marks a transition for the food concept from its previous pop-up and Tapster-based residency models.
Why it matters
This partnership reflects a common local strategy for microbreweries to outsource food service to independent concepts, allowing operators to focus on production while expanding customer dwell time. Such arrangements allow food entrepreneurs to test brick-and-mortar concepts with lower overhead than a standalone site.
The menu features medium pizzas priced at $20. Outer Planet Brewing has operated since 2015 and recently transitioned to new ownership in fall 2025.
The players
Pizza Rasoi
A food concept known for fusion pizzas that transitioned from pop-up and residency models.
Outer Planet Brewing
A microbrewery in the Capitol Hill neighborhood that has been in operation since 2015.
Maahir Kasliwal
The founder of Pizza Rasoi who manages the concept's expansion into brewery-based locations.
Amory Carhart
The current owner of Outer Planet Brewing who took control of the microbrewery in fall 2025.
The details
Pizza Rasoi prepares hand-crafted dough topped with house-made curries and marinades to serve brewery patrons. The move into 1812 12th Ave follows the concept's history of operating as a pop-up and inside the local Tapster location. This integration utilizes the brewery's established seating and customer base, a contrast to the competitive street-level landscape that saw Roma Roma open nearby on 12th Ave in February 2026.
Timeline
2015: Outer Planet Brewing was founded.
Fall 2025: Amory Carhart assumed ownership of Outer Planet Brewing.
February 2026: Roma Roma opened on 12th Ave.
October 2026: Pizza Rasoi opened inside the brewery space.
Market Landscape
This arrangement follows the microbrewery kitchen residency model, a strategy that has become a common fixture for breweries looking to diversify revenue without managing a full-scale restaurant. The opening highlights the intense competition for culinary space on 12th Ave, which also saw the arrival of Roma Roma earlier this year.
Operators looking at similar partnerships should review local health department requirements for shared kitchen spaces and verify that the host's existing permits cover the additional food preparation. Ensure that liability and equipment maintenance responsibilities are clearly defined in the residency contract before finalizing operations.
The takeaway
The kitchen residency model allows food startups to bypass the heavy capital expenditure of building out a full restaurant footprint. Entrepreneurs should track how brewery foot traffic correlates with their specific price point to ensure the residency provides sustainable margins over time.
