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.

  • Great family dinner...Marshall was such a great host!!

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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!

  • 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.

    Amazing pizza, cheese has flavor, tomato is rich and has a tiny kick to it, and the bread is light.

    Mohammed Osman Avatar Mohammed Osman

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

  • 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.

    Hands down best pizza to eat in Tacoma!

    Nina Schoepflin Avatar Nina Schoepflin

    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!

  • Might be the best pizza on planet Earth.

    I was in the area and saw this pizza restaurant, So I go in and order their pizza a "Spicy Tony" with the woman at the counter. I then take a seat after asking for a to go box as I explained I wouldn't be able to eat a whole large pizza. A few minutes later I get my pizza, which was admittedly delicious. However, the waitress never brought me my to go box or even interacted with me other than to bring out the pizza. On the other hand, the employee Mike saved this experience for me. Mike noticed I was using a lot of red pepper flakes on my pizza because I love spice, So he asked me if I would like to try Red Pepper Calabrian on my pizza and provided me a small dish to sample it. I absolutely love it. He even checked up on me while I was eating the pizza and when I told him how I like the Calabrian he brought more for me. When I was done eating, I got up to talk to the waitress and request a to go box, again. However, before I could ask, Mike saw that I was done eating and offered to get me one. The employee Mike is a gem and is the reason I am giving this restaurant 5 stars. He saved this from being just another restaurant with decent food and transformed it into a fantastic dining experience.
