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.

  • 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.

    Love this new place! The slices are huge with really fresh ingredients. The staff treated us well and it was a relaxed environment with good prices. Felt very homey. Drinks were great too!

    This place is amazing. Great pizza, the friendliest people, cute and unique atmosphere. I’m so happy they sell pizza by the slice! My new favorite place to eat in Tacoma!

    The Hot Honey pizza was delicious! We had a great time here with the kids.

    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 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!

    Good pizza!

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 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!

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

    Barbara Nielsen Avatar Barbara Nielsen

    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.

  • 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!
