My husband & I’s absolutely favorite pizza joint we’ve tried in the northwest! If you like a traditional Neapolitan margherita pizza, this is the spot hands down. It’s the closest we can get to Italy out here, and we love it. Highly

We discovered this gem on a recent trip to Vancouver, WA. Great wood fire pizza, friendly service, nice interior (not fancy but modern, simple, and weathered kind of look), and atmosphere.

It’s seriously good! The dough, the toppings, and the quality of the ingredients. Do yourself a favor and try out Nonavo. The ice cream is also really good, too.

I really wanted to like this place. I was hoping for something similar to real Italian pizza but I was so disappointed. The crust had a lot of burned spots but was super doughy/mushy and not in a good way. The sauce was bland and the mushrooms tasted canned. Needless to say, I was done after a few bites. My son who loves pizza and isn't picky about it at all didn't finish his either.The service and atmosphere were good but I just couldn't with the pizza.

Easily the worst pizza I’ve ever had in my life. It’s burnt yet undercooked and chewy at the same time. It tastes like burnt toast and tomatoes. They must have spared the cheese because it’s basically uncooked dough sprinkled with tomato sauce. My buddy got something just as bad. The restaurant is hot and steamy. I assumed a pizza place would know how to correctly make a pizza. I waited at least twenty minutes and $18 later I’m not happy. AVOID.

This place is a treasure. Amazing pizza, fair prices, no nonsense, and run by kind humans. Don't let the GFY signage fool you, they're gruff on the outside and soft in the center. Try the mortadella burrata if it's on!

Excellent wood fired pizza, thin chewy crust with all the delicious burnt bits. Never thought to have anchovies on my pizza but the combo is delicious. Pesto pizza was exceptional as well, the preserved lemon slices and lemon oil finish was the "cherry" on top.And after all this only to find out they were totally hiding the ball. Save room for ice cream! We had their seasonal rye and bay ice creams and the flavors were so good, both separate and paired. I would return just for the ice cream, but who am I kidding I would be here for the pizza as well.Good local beer selection, nothing fancy but it works well with what they serve. They also serve in convenient half pints!

Delicious pizza, perfect crust. The staff were very friendly. Every time I eat here it tastes better.
good pizza. their website and others show $16 for 1 of their pizzas. they are a little spendy at $18, may have gone somewhere else had i know that. staff was strangely passice aggressive. the outer edges of most of the crust was burned and center a little gooey. the pizza chef didnt even bother to say anything. looked at me and rhen went back to burning the pizzas. it was good and i see how some people could develop a knack for that. over priced for what you get, shop around- there is better pizza in Vancouver. 12" pizza for (w tax) 20 bucks maybe if you really like it.

I've been here many times, I love being able to bike here from my house about 4-5 miles away. I come to hang with friends or go on dates. It's always a wonderful experience! (My only complaint is that sometimes the dough feels undercooked, so I ask them to keep it in a little longer so the dough has time to stiffen up or it easily falls apart.)Parking: Lots of near by parking structures and an easy accessible walk to the restaurant from the parking structures.Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly with colors and coloring pages.
My husband and I went here for our 14th anniversary. We’re pretty casual and we love authentic neopolitan pizza. We were just looking for great pizza and nice people, sadly we found neither. The elements are there but it’s lacking heart and soul. It seemed a little dead inside and the FU art on the wall isn’t very welcoming, neither was the pizza guy or the counter girl. It was very floppy crust due to being undercooked. Bottom line, they just didn’t care. Such a shame because it has all of the elements to be exceptional, it’s just lacking the people with real heart and desire to make it possible. All of that said, I know it could have been an off day or an off staff. The other reviewers seem to be very pleased and the photos look much more amazing than what we received. I don’t want to hate on this place just hoping they will do better.

The pizza here is delicious, the staff is great, my only complaint is that there are NO FANS or anything to cool it off and the giant pizza oven makes the small space unbearably hot on warmer days. My partner jokes that I took him to get fantastic pizza in hell. Definitely give this place a try, but go when it's cold or you'll be extremely hot inside.

I had reheated pizza the night before that was 100x better & what left me craving more pizza. A previous review said they got a slice & wished they got a whole pie. That's where I was. Margarita is one of my favorite pizzas & I wanted to celebrate a milestone. Saw they have it & decided to try. For the same price I could've went to Mcds drive thru, not had to pay for parking, got points in the app, got a drink to go with my meal & pretty much the same service.Me & a gentleman who obviously doesn't speak were standing there for a minute before we got any help.Wasn't worth the hassle of getting parking at all especially with rude locals flying by & very impatient wow.Parking: Good luck
