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.

    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.

    From initial order phone call to last bite, experience at Apizza was top notch. Person at counter was super friendly, personable and efficient. We picked up the Deluxe #13, ingredients off their menu: Cascioppo Bros sausage, mushroom, roma tomato, scallion, fresh mozzarella on garlic olive oil The pizza… oh the pizza, sublime! Sausage had excellent flavor, but did not overpower the other ingredients, Roma tomatoes diced tiny, added to the perfection. The thin crust had a light flavor and so edges were oh so crispy. Best pizza I’ve ever had. Don’t read this - do your self a favor, call them, place an order, and try it for yourself. Parking: Easily found a parking spot on the street just around the corner.

    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+++++++

  • We’d been meaning to try this place out for months and finally did on a Thursday. First group in around 5, then it filled up quickly. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Most importantly, the pizza was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked thin crust and a really flavorful, delicate red sauce. We frequent brick oven spots with small, artisan options like Bar Rosa or E9, or occasionally Camp Colvos if we want a classic pizza slice meant to be folded. This place felt like a wonderful marriage of those two elements. Get the tiramisu though (made in house). It’s as good as you’d hope for a place that feels this authentic.

    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...)

  • 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.

    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 Avatar Rory Gracey

    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.
