What makes Apizza Little Italy the BEST PIZZA in Tacoma?

Our customer reviews speak for themselves, but this is what goes into making Apizza Little Italy the best pizza you'll have.

Authenticity

Come enjoy the thinnest crust you've ever had made with delicious and wholesome scratch-cooking with our own style of warm, dedicated, friendly, personal hospitality.

Wholesome Ingredients

We designed APIZZA's large, open kitchen to have something for everyone: fresh delicious salads, antipasto, gelato, mouth-watering apizza, Italian cured-meats, kid-friendly beverages, soft drinks and fabulous wine and beer on tap.

Love of Cooking

Chef Marshall Jett began his cooking career prepping vegetables for his mother when he was ten years old. Many decades later Marshall took his love and passion for cooking, ceramics and built his first mobile clay pizza oven and launched Veraci Pizza.

  • We ordered the Deluxe #13 and the Classic Margherita pizzas and highly recommend. The quality ingredients and love that was put into these pizzas by exceptional chefs. By far the best wood fired pizza that we have eaten. The customer service was amazing as well. Great atmosphere for dine-in and take-out. There are daily slices available as well.

    I ordered the Vesuvius from Uber, this pizza is absolutely delicious. I'm very excited to come down there and try it in the restaurant. There are a lot of pizza places in town but this is really good.

    One bite, everyone knows the rules. Great crunch to that crust and almost no flop! Cheese on the classic 3 cheese looked phenomenal, flavor was great, and very nice char! Easy 8.2, monster score for Tacoma Washington!

    I came to try the thin crust pizza like I remembered loving in Italy 🇮🇹 and this place did not disappoint = ) Delicious thin crust and a great variety of toppings in both ready to eat slices and made to order pies ♥️. Cute decor and good atmosphere both inside and in outdoor seating. Staff was welcoming and efficient. I'll definitely be back!

    Best pizza this side of New York. Most authentic pizza in Washington. Outstanding crunchy thin crust and superior ingredients all around. Tried the Spicy Tony at lunch and am back to try more the same night for dinner! It’s that good folks.

  • Decided to finally come check this place out and I think we will definitely be taking the trolley down regularly. The inside is charming and cozy. The menu isn't overwhelming and has just what you need and the pizza is out of this world. Best pizza I've had since visiting the east coast! The slices are huge too and reasonably priced. The staff is also super friendly, made us feel like family. We had such a great experience Parking: Take the trolley! Way mote convenient and you can park free at freigthouse square Kid-friendliness: They had kid friendly stuff, it is pizza after all, and a kid friendly vibe. Our 11 yo picky eater loved it and there was another family with toddlers there when we went.

    The staff is super nice, the pizza was delicious. We will be going back very soon. Gelato made my wife very happy.

    This place is next to The Forum. On Thursday, it has live music from 7-9pm. Outdoor seating is available. All ages ar welcome. No cover charge. They sell NY style pizza by the slice. I had pepperoni. It was delicious. They also serve alcohol and Italian sodas. I got the Peach Bellini, which was great. Overall, it is a great place to pop in for a bite to each or just a drink.

    Truly amazing! Chef Marshall is friendly and always makes time to check in with his guests. More importantly, the pizzas, salads and drinks are always well worth the visit. The Hot Copa is particularly delicious. This has become our go to place for occasions and when we have visitors from out of town.

  • Literally a little piece of Italy right here in T-town, from pizza to gelato they have it all. Looking for an espresso or Italian liquors, maybe both ¯_(ツ)_/¯ no problem. Highly recommend stopping in. The open kitchen is always a plus and their pizza is jumping to be one of the best in town, traditional and great ingredients.

    That's Tacoma Avatar That's Tacoma

    Great service, great pizza and great atmosphere! Drive 30 minutes over here every other week to get a slice because it truly is the best!!!

    Allie Jones Avatar Allie Jones

    Hands down the best pizza in all of Tacoma. I have been on the hunt for amazing pizza throughout Tacoma and surrounding area and this place is above and beyond the best. It is a true Neapolitan pizza, with perfectly baked thin crust, robust sauce in perfect proportion, and the toppings and cheese are perfectly paired for the given size ordered. My family consists of 3 kids (age range 6-13), my wife and I and we ate 2 entire pizzas as we could not stop eating it was soo good. We ended up ordering again the next evening and had the exact same experience. We have since ordered 2 more times and the quality never varies. If you want the best pizza experience you have ever had around this area you must eat at APIZZA.
