We Ranked The Top 7 Pizza Places In Washington And Here Is Who Made The Final Cut
One pizzeria on this list has been serving thin-crust pies since around 1950. Another hands out New York slices that stretch almost 12 inches.
A third lets you play pinball under ’80s posters between bites.
I love that kind of range. Washington pizza covers blistered Neapolitan crusts, foldable street-style slices, and thick, crispy pies loaded with toppings.
One mountain town spot even offers a Thai-inspired pie and opens early on weekends.
So I ranked the seven places I think are worth the drive. The list runs from Puget Sound to the dry side of the Cascades and down to the Columbia River.
Each spot earned its place for a different reason, and none of them feel like copies of each other.
A few are made for family nights. A couple could turn a simple road trip into a full pizza mission.
Which one would you visit first?
1. The Flying Goat
Spokane’s Audubon Park neighborhood has a pizzeria named after a goat with wings, and somehow that makes perfect sense. The Flying Goat leans into Neapolitan pies with creative flavor pairings you won’t find on a standard menu.
The room has an industrial-cool look, with exposed edges and a casual, trendy feel. Head outside and you’ll find a patio with a fire pit, which is a lovely bonus on a crisp Inland Northwest evening.
Pizza is the main event here, and it holds its own as one of the better pies in Spokane. You can pair a pie with one of the house salad combos, or start with wings and other appetizers.
Plant-based eaters get real choices too. The kitchen offers a full vegan menu and a full vegetarian menu, so mixed groups won’t have to negotiate.
Families fit right in here. There’s a kids’ menu, high chairs, and changing tables, plus a dog-friendly patio for your four-legged pizza critic.
Service has a reputation for being friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of place where a casual lunch can stretch into a long, happy afternoon.
One planning note matters here. The Flying Goat doesn’t take reservations, and evenings tend to fill up, so a late lunch is a smart move.
Doors open at 11 AM daily, with later hours on Friday and Saturday. Free parking makes the trip even easier.
Address: 3318 W Northwest Blvd, Spokane, WA 99205
2. ROCCO’S
Midnight pizza cravings in Seattle have a reliable answer on 2nd Avenue. ROCCO’S stays open until midnight seven days a week, which makes it a lifesaver after a show or a late night downtown.
The space has brick-lined walls and a hip, casual energy. It feels like a neighborhood hangout that happens to take its pies very seriously.
Specialty pizzas are the draw, with a crispy crust and soft, chewy cheese. There’s even a subtle hint of warm spice in the flavor that makes these pies stand apart.
The chicken pesto pie gets plenty of attention. You’ll also find lots of unique combinations, so ordering the same thing twice may feel like a missed opportunity.
Gluten-free diners, take note. ROCCO’S offers good gluten-free pizza options, plus a full vegan menu and a full vegetarian menu.
Want something green on the side? The arugula salad is a fresh, peppery break between slices.
The crowd mixes college students, tourists, families, and groups of friends. It’s an easy place to bring nearly anyone, and high chairs are available for the little ones.
Expect a wait during busy weekend evenings. The good news is that ROCCO’S accepts reservations, so a little planning goes a long way.
Address: 2312 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
3. The Cloverleaf
Few Washington pizzerias can trace their story back to around 1950. The Cloverleaf in Tacoma can, and it still serves the thin-crust pies that built its name.
Walk in and you’ll get a low-key, neighborhood feel with a historic streak. Multiple TVs make it a natural spot to catch a game with a pie on the table.
Crispy thin crust is the signature here. It’s the kind of pizza that holds a fold yet still crunches when you bite in.
Feeling adventurous? The Taco Pizza is a menu highlight, and it’s a fun twist for anyone who can’t choose between taco night and pizza night.
Wings round out the menu if you want something to snack on first. Vegan and vegetarian diners get full menus of their own, too.
Plenty of folks in town call it the best pizza in Tacoma. That’s a bold title in a city that loves its local spots.
Families will feel at home with high chairs and changing tables. Parking is usually plentiful, with a free lot and free street spots nearby.
The Cloverleaf doesn’t take reservations, so weekend evenings can get busy. Weekday lunch tends to be a calmer bet, and the doors open at 11 AM daily.
Address: 6430 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA 98406
4. Coconut Kenny’s Pizza – Bellingham
A drive-through pizza joint with a Hawaiian vibe in Bellingham? Yes, and Coconut Kenny’s makes the idea feel completely natural.
The pies here go big. Expect a thick, crispy crust piled with generous toppings like bacon and cheese, closer to deep dish than a skinny slice.
That crust is the hero. It bakes up with just the right crunch, while the toppings stay fresh, flavorful, and plentiful.
Creativity shows up across the menu. If you love a pie that feels like a full meal in one wedge, you’re in the right place.
The atmosphere is fun and laid-back. Counter service keeps things moving, so you order, grab a seat, and wait for the good stuff.
Short on time? The drive-through and curbside pickup make this one of the easiest pizza stops in Whatcom County.
Kids are welcome, with a kids’ menu and high chairs on hand. A full vegetarian menu means non-meat eaters won’t get stuck with plain cheese.
Coconut Kenny’s also puts real emphasis on its local community. The company describes itself as an employer and business partner rooted in the areas it serves.
Hours run from 11 AM to 9 PM every day. Free parking is usually easy to find.
Address: 2220 James St, Bellingham, WA 98225
5. Thirsty Sasquatch & Hungry Sasquatch
Bigfoot may be hard to spot in the woods, but a Sasquatch-sized slice is easy to find in downtown Vancouver. These New York-style slices measure close to 12 inches, so bring both hands.
Size isn’t the only selling point. The dough is excellent, the sauce is nicely balanced, and the toppings hold up their end of the deal.
The slices land crispy, chewy, and perfectly foldable. For anyone hunting a true New York slice near the Columbia River, this is about as close as it gets.
Giant pepperoni slices are a classic choice. Vegan and vegetarian menus give everyone in your crew a reason to come along.
The space is wood-lined and low-key, which fits the Sasquatch theme nicely. A patio adds outdoor seating when the weather cooperates.
There’s often live music, and the room works for watching sports, too. It’s a relaxed, fun hangout rather than a fussy dining room.
Dogs are allowed inside and outside here. That’s a rare perk, so your pup can join the pizza party.
Hours run from 11 AM until midnight daily. Street parking can be tricky downtown, so give yourself a few extra minutes.
Address: 2110 Main St, Vancouver, WA 98660
6. Old School Pizzeria
Got quarters and a craving? Old School Pizzeria in downtown Olympia pairs New York-style pies with pinball and arcade games, all wrapped in ’80s posters and retro decor.
The nostalgia is thick in here. It feels like a time machine with a pizza oven, and that’s a big part of the charm.
The pizza delivers, too. Expect hand-tossed, thin-crust pies with perfectly melted cheese, plus a solid lineup of slices if you just want a quick bite.
Don’t skip the garlic knots. They share the spotlight with the pizza and make a great opener for the table.
The vibe is unpretentious and easygoing. Counter service keeps it casual, so you can grab your food and get back to that high score.
Vegan and vegetarian diners are covered with full menus. Some dishes also feature organic ingredients.
The crowd is a fun mix of families, students, and longtime Olympia fans. High chairs are available, which makes it easy to introduce a new generation to retro games.
Hours stretch to 10 PM most nights and 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Weekend afternoons and evenings get busy, so plan around the rush if you can.
Address: 108 Franklin St NE, Olympia, WA 98501
7. Leavenworth Pizza Company
Leavenworth is famous for its Bavarian look and mountain views. Leavenworth Pizza Company gives you another reason to visit, with fresh, house-made pies that hold their own on any Cascades road trip.
The crust runs thin, and the toppings get creative. A Thai-inspired pie and a sweet-and-spicy option with jalapenos and pineapple show the kitchen likes to play.
Prefer the classics? The Mighty Meat Pizza is a menu highlight built for big appetites after a day outdoors.
Cheesy garlic bread is a smart add-on. It’s simple, satisfying, and great for sharing while you wait.
Dietary needs get real attention here. You’ll find diverse gluten-free choices, along with full vegan and vegetarian menus.
Here’s a fun twist for a pizza place. On Saturday and Sunday, doors open at 9 AM, and breakfast and brunch are on the menu.
Staff have a friendly reputation, and the dining room keeps things casual. Outdoor seating is available, and dogs are welcome outside.
Weekday hours run from 11 AM to 8 PM. Unlike several spots on this list, Leavenworth Pizza Company accepts reservations, which helps a lot on busy tourist weekends.
It’s a fitting final stop on this Washington pizza tour. Mountain air and a hot pie make a pretty perfect pair.
Address: 894 US Hwy 2, Leavenworth, WA 98826
