    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 went in specifically for the Gelato, which is the best!

    Linda M Avatar Linda M

    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.

  • 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.

    Delicious food and friendly service. We had a party of 10 and everyone left with full bellies and happy hearts. Tacoma is lucky to have this gem!

    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.

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

    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.

  • Really great pizza! Super crispy and toppings were delicious and fresh! Highly recommend.

    Rudik Rsr Avatar Rudik Rsr

    Truly amazing! Chef Marshall is friendly and always makes time to check in with his guests. More importantly, the pizzas, salads and drinks are always well worth the visit. The Hot Copa is particularly delicious. This has become our go to place for occasions and when we have visitors from out of town.

  • Delicious thin crust pizza, friendly owner and staff, and live jazz performance. We enjoyed our luncheon and are looking forward to returning.

    My husband was walking by this pizza spot going to another place. As we were walking by we noticed owner or employee giving a slice of pizza to a homeless man going through the trash. She said here it’s cold outside! We took a mental note to come back and support this establishment, just so happened we had to wait for our seats for 25 mins. So we went back and had a slice of the best pizza I have had thus far. I would definitely recommend this place. We were there for only a little bit but their service was still excellent! Thank you your delicious pizza and giving to the community!

    Jameela Parks Avatar Jameela Parks

    Great spot for pizza and some live music. Winning this place is kind of funky little downtown pizza shop with a really great pizza oven right inside the door. Thought we just eat light and get a pizza by the slice but oh my God. My one slice of pizza was essentially 1/4 of a 16-inch pizza. The Caprese salad was really excellent as well and much larger than I expected. They also have really good gelato for after pizza. And what I hear is that they have really good tiramisu. Saw that after I already had the gelato. Have to give that a try next time

  • 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.

    Marshal the owner is an incredible guy, wonderful establishment by heart. The bread dough lady is the 'prime example of flour' she was just covered in it😂 The pizza was delicious, crust was thin and the spinach with cheese made you want to eat with your eyes closed. When you're in the area stop by and show some gratitude!

    Lamont Avatar Lamont

    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.

  • 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!

    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+++++++

  • 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.
