    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Most delectible delicious pizza we've enjoyed in years! Phenomenal! 🐾✨

    Melissa Wysocki Avatar Melissa Wysocki

    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!

    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.

  • Great service and enthusiasm from the staff and fantastic pizza, salad, and cannoli!

    Great pizza, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

    Joseph Krissoff Avatar Joseph Krissoff

    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.

  • Hands down best pizza to eat in Tacoma!

    Nina Schoepflin Avatar Nina Schoepflin

    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.

    I stopped by for lunch and was blown away by the Neapolitan-style pizza. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, just like you'd expect from a pizzeria in Italy (or so I imagine, since I've never actually been there 😅). The star of the show was definitely their fancy mushroom pizza - absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot-on. The whole ambiance of the place really adds to the experience, making you feel like you've stepped into a little slice of Italy right here in Tacoma. Now, I'll admit it's a bit on the pricier side, but hey, it's still way cheaper than a flight to Italy! And for the quality you're getting, it's totally worth it. If you're in Tacoma and craving some seriously good pizza, do yourself a favor and check out Apizza. Your taste buds will thank you!

  • 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.

    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.

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

  • 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.

    Chris Roach Avatar Chris Roach

    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.

    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

    This place is incredible! The food was delicious, the service friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is super cozy. We even got some red velvet gelato after our pizza and it was amazing. Highly recommend this place.

    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.
