This pizza is the real deal! Fresh quality ingredients, so flavorful and cooked to perfection in a clean wood fired oven. The staff are all so friendly. It's rare that we have found such a great overall experience as here; with pizza that tastes authentic to Italy. A+++++++

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.

Very nice experience
Gloria Coyle
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 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!

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.

I wish I have found this place sooner. I have been in this area of Tacoma multiple times but always skipped this little hole in the wall! New favorite pizza joint 🥰

Had the Spicy Tony pizza. It was really good. No red pepper flakes needed. The crust is fairly thin with a little chew. Haven't had a restaurant with a thin crust that was at least a little crispy. In this case, it made this pizza different in a good way. There was a little crunch on the ends, but the ingredients are what carried the pizza. The sausage was sliced rounds from a link, but again we're high quality with a nice flavor profile and the sauce was extremely well balanced with enough Italian seasoning in it to cut through any paste flavor you might find at some other local places like Bar Rosa. It also wasn't acidic. Extra points right there for me. I mention these details because I believe that it will help better to figure out if you're wanting to try one of the many, many new pizza places in town. Service was attentive enough for my needs as they checked in a couple of times. The drinks were ok at least on the mixed drink. The beers weren't bad. A large pizza for around 40 after tax was easily shareable for two or three people and the chew in the crust helped keep it filling while it was still thin. I'll definitely be back based on the light sauce profile and toppings.

Had a draft while I waited for my togo pizza. Service and staff were very friendly. Owner gave me some fresh red pepper topping in case I wanted it. Ordered the Spicy Tony, and it was as advertised. Spicy but able to taste all the fresh toppings. This was one place, in my opinion, that they used a good amount of sauce on a thin pizza. Every bite had that right amount of sauce that complimented the crust. Can't wait to go back.

If you haven’t had this place you’re missing out on an amazing and authentic experience. Moving away and my heart is staying with APIZZA. Marshall, you are the BEST! Family style and run. You cannot go wrong with any item here. If you enjoy wine, highly recommend Barolo. A gem in downtown Tacoma.

8.7/10. Amazing flavor. Ingredients on point. Just wish the crust was more fluffy and bubbly. The hot honey and their spicy peppers on the side are amazing.
Rory Gracey
The pizza is crunchy, delicious, and somehow not too expensive. They sell it by the slice as well, so if you're short on money you can still grab a bite. The staff are nice. We ordered to go but decided to dine in, and they didn't kick us out (sorry about that...)

Best pizza in Tacoma or Seattle. Tacoma is very lucky to have this place. Been here several times and they rock it every time.
