Excellent pizza, significant step up from salamones imho which is my other Tacoma go to. Also nice welcoming vibe, live music. Lots of street parking but it’s often nearly full, extra street parking in alley behind.

Our family enjoyed the most delicious pizza, salad and desert. They slice the cheese for the Cesar salad into a yummy mouthfuls, we had never had anything like it before. The service was top notch, and the pizza- we pretty much inhaled it! A spicy red sauce - not too spicy, just right!! Absolutely going back! Highly recommend!

Pizza was as good as I was hoping it would be. I like my pizza a little on the floppy side and this pizza was just that. Great flavor in the sauce and the cheese was just right. Give this place a shot. It’s worth the price.

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

*Ownership reached out and provided a resolution for the issue. In my opinion, it is rare for an executive to be that attentive. Furthermore, when contacted, the manager was professional, courteous and efficient. I have changed my review to reflect their efforts. I highly recommend anyone try their restaurant if they haven't already. It's the best pizza in Tacoma. Full stop. Original TLDR: Got a luke warm after a longer than usual wait. The Apizza team rectified the issue.

Just a step off the hustle and bustle of Pacific Ave, APIZZA transports you to authentic environment. With live music on Thursdays, handmade pizza and dessert, and friendly staff, this is a must-visit destination in Tacoma.

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!
Luis Tovar
Everything was fantastic!
Benny Stanfield
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...)

APIZZA Little Italy's food is next level! I have no idea how they cram so much flavor into their pizzas. We sat outside (out front) and got to listen to street performer while we at with friends. Such good atmosphere.

Very nice experience

This is THE place to get pizza. You take your first bite and you can just tell that the owner is from New York and brought a piece of it with him here. The service and atmosphere are so good, and the pizza is the best I've ever had in my life. Ever. As someone who is always crazy for a quality slice, that's a recommendation you might want to take.

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!

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+++++++

The sign needs some work, but wow, does the pizza speak for itself. We spoke with an older gentleman, and he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The food.. wow. Wish we had one in Lacey/olympia! Crust is crispy, sauce is fantastic, and toppings were fresh. Skip the local camp C and drive a little further to this hidden gem.

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!

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.
Robert Stocker
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.

I went to see a live Jazz performance, and it was perfectly housed in this establishment. The environment is very comfortable, the food is tasty, and the service was very friendly. Loved it
