Calling pizza purists and maximalists alike! Wood-fired, electric, by the slice, by the box, authentically Italian, unapologetically new world, team pineapple: we’ve got ‘em all. Go ahead, let’s gather round one of nature’s most innately delicious and shareable foods.
Updated October 1, 2026. Menus, specials and hours can change; check with the restaurant before your visit.
Tacoma
Tacoma Pie
The name of the shop is Tacoma, but its rectangular pies draw on Detroit, Sicilian and Grandma styles. Crisp edges give the corner pieces their own fan club. Settle in on Sixth Avenue, order a pie to share and leave the debate about who gets the corners until it arrives.
Camp Colvos
Camp Colvos pairs its beer with pizza at the Tacoma Outpost on Commerce Street. Order a full pie for the table or check the current menu for a quick bite between downtown stops. The all-ages taproom makes this an easy option for a mixed group.
Parky’s Pizza Bar
This beloved neighborhood bar is home to some humbly solid pizza. Their five-day fermented dough sets it apart for a surprisingly complex crust in a place adorned with beer swag and tvs. If you like a hand-tossed crust with a bit of chew that gives way to a crisp bottom, you might find yourself joining the daily line out the front door.
Wooden City Restaurant
Wood-fired pizza and a round of small plates make Wooden City a good place to turn dinner into the evening’s main event. Check its current downtown Tacoma address and menu when you reserve; toppings and other dishes change with the kitchen’s offerings.
Galileo’s Pizzeria
Fabio brings an Italian approach to wood-fired pizza, with blistered crusts and a mobile schedule. Check Galileo’s calendar to find the truck at a local brewery, market or event before setting out. A little planning puts the pizza where you are going.
Bar Rosa
A wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, an Italian wine and a table in Hilltop make a pretty persuasive date-night plan. Bar Rosa is for guests 21 and older and does not take reservations, so allow a little flexibility in your evening.
State Street
State Street is a neighborhood bar serving craft beer, natural wine and Neapolitan-style pizza. It is a good stop when the pizza decision is easy but everyone wants something different in their glass. Check the current menu before you go.
Salamone’s Pizza
Head to Tacoma’s Stadium District for New York-style pizza by the slice or the whole pie. Salamone’s is an easy choice for a quick lunch or a box to share later. Check the menu for the day’s selection.
Abella Pizzeria
Some pizza aficionados chase authenticity, wanting something that feels straight out of New York or Italy, and there are plenty of places on this list to satisfy those types of pizza eaters. But for an unapologetically American pizza experience, head to Abella. Self-described as “no fuss, no muss pizzas,” these are the slices you want for lunch when you are hungry. Abundant cheese and pepperoni if you’re into that sort of thing, with massive slices and a clean but tiny dining room.
Cloverleaf Pizza
Cloverleaf has kept a good thing going since 1950. Their green sign shouts “World Famous Pizza. Ice Cold Beer.” If you still need to know more, the toppings are generous, and the restaurant gets loud with all the families crowding in to descend on these satisfying pies.
Bigfoot Pizza
Bigfoot serves pizza from its North I Street spot, with pickup and delivery options. Check the current kitchen hours when you order, especially if you are hoping for a late-night meal; bar hours and food service are not always the same.
Slice of Life
This Pacific Avenue pizza spot is an option for a casual meal or takeout. Order something cheesy, split a pie and keep the rest of the evening uncomplicated. Check directly for any music or special events rather than counting on a regular entertainment schedule.
Cerello’s Pizza/Wine Cafe
You know what makes good pizza taste even better? Great service. Oh, and wine. Cerello’s comes through with both, making it a favorite among locals. This is the place to come when you want to enhance your dinner with cheesy breadsticks and chicken wings, but boxed wine simply won’t do.
Mikey’s Public House
Another downtown option joined the mix in February 2026: Mikey’s Public House at 1702 Pacific Avenue, in the former Zeeks space. Its pizza menu runs from a straightforward pepperoni to the House Special, topped with pepperoni, sausage, vegetables and the house green drizzle. Check the current menu for sizes and toppings.
Lakewood
Pizza Pizzazz
Pizza Pizazz offers carryout and delivery in Lakewood, with generously topped pizzas, pizza rolls and hot subs. For dinner at your hotel, confirm that the address is in the delivery area and arrange where to meet the driver.
Puget Sound Pizza
PSP serves hand-tossed pizza, calzones and sandwiches at its Lakewood location on Pacific Highway Southwest. Check the current menu for specials rather than planning around an old lunch price. There are also Pierce County locations in downtown Tacoma and Key Center.
Gig Harbor
Millville Pizza Co.
Millville’s wood-fired pies make a satisfying stop near Gig Harbor’s waterfront. The crisp, charred crust makes a strong case for keeping the order simple, though pepperoni fans have plenty to like here. Check the current menu for wine and any weekday specials.
Fondi Pizzeria
Fondi brings Neapolitan-style pizza to Gig Harbor, with a brick oven and a long-running sourdough starter at the heart of the kitchen. Make this your stop for a shared pie after exploring the harbor, and check the Gig Harbor location’s current hours before going.
Seabeck Pizza
Seabeck’s Wauna location on Highway 302 is a useful pizza stop for a Key Peninsula outing. Pick up a pie to share or settle into the unhurried end of the day. Confirm current hours and menu choices with the restaurant.
Fircrest
Slice Garden
Great news for the indecisive (or maybe bad news?): Slice Garden offers multiple pizza styles under one roof, so you can taste the pizza rainbow. Choose from their New York house pies, Naples-style pizzas, Sicilian, and even Grandma slices. Slice Garden is the sister restaurant to Salamone’s in Tacoma, so you know it’ll be good.
Puyallup
Puyallup Pizza “Pizza Time”
Puyallup Pizza Time keeps the choices broad, from familiar favorites to specialty pies. Order a box for a relaxed evening in, or work a pickup into your downtown Puyallup plans. Check the current menu for toppings and delivery options.
Wicked Pie Pizza
Wicked Pie in downtown Puyallup is built around a grown-up night out: pizza, drinks and time to linger. Check its current age policy when planning your group, and make room on the table for a pie to share.
Orting
Route 66 Pizza
Route 66 has served Orting since 1995, with hand-tossed pizzas, wings and a menu that also includes Detroit-style pan pies. Stop at its Washington Avenue location for a meal on a foothills outing, or order ahead for pickup.
Ruston
Farrelli’s Pizza
Farrelli’s at Point Ruston pairs wood-fired pizza with a family dining room and a separate adult bar area with screens for sports. The waterfront setting works for a winter meal, too; save the outdoor deck and nearby splash pad for suitable weather. Check ahead if catching a particular game is part of the plan.
University Place
Chicago’s Pizza Kitchen
If your ideal pizza calls for more cheese and a thicker slice, try Chicago-style deep dish at this University Place restaurant. The menu also offers tavern-thin pizza and calzones. Allow extra preparation time for deep dish, and check the current ordering menu before picking up dinner.
Wilkeson
The Carlson Block
Dear readers and eaters, we invite you to make a pizza pilgrimage in the shadow of Mt. Rainier to the charming town of Wilkeson. The Carlson Block is located in a century-old building on the main drag of Church Street, and perhaps the ghosts make the pizza taste so incredible, or maybe it’s the wild-yeast sourdough. The pizza is wood-fired, the toppings are locally-sourced, and rumor has it that this humble kitchen is churning out the best pizzas in the state. We’ll let you be the judge, but one thing is for certain: you can’t beat that view.
