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.

    I love pizza so my wife found this place to take me for my birthday, it was outstanding! We liked it so much we took our daughter's family and they loved it as well, including two somewhat particular young granddaughters 😉 We tried a number of their pizzas and all were excellent. My favorite is the Amante di Carne but all the pizzas were fantastic.

  • 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!

    Great food good vibes. Will come again

    Stopped by after seeing a show on a Saturday night. Even though it was 10 minutes to closing they made us a pizza to go. The pizza was so good we would definitely go back.

  • Ample seating with spacious tables. Everything is truly made from scratch and attention to detail is immaculate. Don't worry- if you are in a rush order by the slice. We lived the Goddess pizza, 12" was perfect for 2.The roasted fresh garlic was next level. Great thin crust. Pesto was flavorful, not salty! The Cannolis are top notch. Hunter makes a great hot chocolate if you aren't taking a cappuccino or wine. Grab a great t shirt for $20 and join the Fandom this place is worthy of. Easy & cheap metered parking. Accessible bathrooms, I noticed hand rail to right & rear of toilet in one of the 2 restrooms available. Space to maneuver in hallway and entry to the restroom for wheelchair.

    Great place, it was our first time and I did not know what to expect. We ordered tri cheese for kids and deluxe 43 for me. Both were delicious. Staff was very friendly and professional.

    Artur Grigoryan Avatar Artur Grigoryan

    Great first time coming here. You can taste the quality ingredients. We savored every bite. Even my picky eater devoured their entire pizza here. Atmosphere was chill and kinda like being home away from home? Will def be coming here again. Thank you!

  • Thin on crust, heavy on toppings. The PNW isn't known for pizza, but APIZZA steps up to the challenge.

  • 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!

  • Amazing pizza, cheese has flavor, tomato is rich and has a tiny kick to it, and the bread is light.

    Mohammed Osman Avatar Mohammed Osman

  • Super good pizza!! Will be back!!

    I was in the area and saw this pizza restaurant, So I go in and order their pizza a "Spicy Tony" with the woman at the counter. I then take a seat after asking for a to go box as I explained I wouldn't be able to eat a whole large pizza. A few minutes later I get my pizza, which was admittedly delicious. However, the waitress never brought me my to go box or even interacted with me other than to bring out the pizza. On the other hand, the employee Mike saved this experience for me. Mike noticed I was using a lot of red pepper flakes on my pizza because I love spice, So he asked me if I would like to try Red Pepper Calabrian on my pizza and provided me a small dish to sample it. I absolutely love it. He even checked up on me while I was eating the pizza and when I told him how I like the Calabrian he brought more for me. When I was done eating, I got up to talk to the waitress and request a to go box, again. However, before I could ask, Mike saw that I was done eating and offered to get me one. The employee Mike is a gem and is the reason I am giving this restaurant 5 stars. He saved this from being just another restaurant with decent food and transformed it into a fantastic dining experience.

    Love this new place! The slices are huge with really fresh ingredients. The staff treated us well and it was a relaxed environment with good prices. Felt very homey. Drinks were great too!

  • So good, that on a 3 day trip, we had to eat here twice.

    Greg Coons Avatar Greg Coons

    Delicious pizza, super friendly service!

    Alicia Barevich Avatar Alicia Barevich

    Really good hospitality, hard to find anymore, where the workers are polite and go out of their way to be extra nice to you, and good pie—it's actually delicious, not cheap gas station pizza, which most pizzerias are slinging around. They were voted the best in Tacoma, and I believe it. Not too spendy either. You can get a huge wide slice with a soda for around $10.

  • Great spot for a date
