Great atmosphere and the pizza is fantastic! We love sitting outside if the weather is good. And it's always nice that the beer selection rotates so much. read more

Love the place. It is chill after exercising. I only wished the sauce was much less than what I had. read more

Cute pizza joint with solid flavor options. They ran out of mushrooms, which was my top choice for pizza type, but were accommodating when I asked to combine two other pizzas instead. The seasonal pumpkin churros were great too! My friends got the gyro pizza, which they said was "good, but not really a pizza." I thoroughly enjoyed the crust! read more

This is my first review of Briggs even though I have eaten there many times. If you love pizza this is the place for you. Great crust and creative toppings. They have monthly special cocktails and pizzas. We also like the wings. My favorite wings are the teriyaki. The cheese curds with hot homey are also a favorite. There is takeout and delivery available. They also have a good tap list of craft beers and a selection of cocktails. I would give them 5 stars if there was a small area set aside for adults. It can get pretty loud and unnerving with a lot of children around. read more

Just ok... We live about 30 mins away but have been by Briggs a couple of times for Fastpitch tournaments in the Olympia area. It's always been busy when we've driven by and we've always wanted to stop and eat/have a drink but it hasn't worked out with game times. Yesterday it finally worked out for us. I love that they have a nice outdoor area to sit at. You find your own table and then go up and order food/drinks. My beer was good but the glass was not cold and the beer was not very cold either. We ordered 2 pizzas. Half cheese/half pepperoni for the kids. They both loved their pizza and I agreed, it was good. My husband and I ordered The Birds and the Bees pizza which has white sauce, fried chicken, pickles and hot honey, all things I loved and I had high hopes for a good pizza. Unfortunately it didn't have much flavor. I feel like it needed more seasonings and the chicken seemed like it was cut up chicken nuggets. I would probably give it another try if we're in there area again and try a different pizza but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

We have been in and ordered online from Briggs Taphouse over the past couple years. Have not had any issues with their pizzas or food in the past; love the variety of items on tap also! This time was noticeably different, not sure if they had new staff making pizzas or something, but they must have been almost out of several toppings or they were just stingy with putting them on our pizzas this time. The Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza could have almost passed for bread sticks as the toppings were so sparse and limited. Also, they subbed the sun-dried tomatoes with green onions?!? Our Combo pizza was also lacking; we only saw about 5 or so pieces of mushrooms on the entire pizza. My son joked that we should have gotten the 10" pizzas so the toppings would have been closer together. (smh) I get inflation has hit every aspect of our economy. If the prices for toppings are up, then raise the prices for the pizzas accordingly. Please do not keep the prices the same but put fewer toppings on the pizzas!! Disappointed! read more

Where to start. I don't want to be dramatic BUT..... This is literally the best pizza I have ever had. EVER. Nothing else comes close that's how incredible it was. Went our first time this weekend and were impressed with the location and set up of the building. Plenty of room inside. A covered area outside that is heated and dog friendly. Perfect for us since we have to frenchies. They also have an adults only beer garden outside as well. We started with a beer for the husband (can't remember what he got) and a cider for me, I think it was a boysenberry lemonade? It was fantastic. Ordered the mozzarella sticks to start, my Husband who loves mozzarella sticks says that they were fantastic and the marinara sauce was really really good. It was kind of sweet. We ate those out on their heated patio area, that's dog friendly. Met a couple of doggos out there. Everybody seemed really happy with their food. We were drooling over the people's pizza next to us. It looked like it had fried chicken on it and pickles so we made a mental note to remember to order that next time. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza to go and an order of their cheesy bread. The drive home was a struggle because all I wanted to do was climb into the backseat and eat the pizza because it smelled so delicious. we got home and immediately tried both the cheesy bread which was good but the pizza the pizza was fantastic the sauce the little pepperonis were toasted perfectly. I don't even like pepperoni and I thought about picking all of the pepperonis off and eating them. 10 out of 10 the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life!My husband who is somewhat of a pizza connoisseur also said that it's the best pizza he's ever had and the best part is that it's only 10 minutes away. I'm sad because we've been here in this area for almost a year and a half and we just found this place so don't be like us. Go there immediately like, tonight and order dinner. As a sidenote, I waited a few days to write my review because we wanted to try another pizza and the ceasar salad. So last night for dinner, we tried the "birds and the bees" pizza which is a white sauce pizza with fried chicken, hot honey, and hot pickles. I don't know how to put into words. The flavors. The smell. This is going to be the thing that I crave in life forever. It was amazing, so amazing in fact, we called the restaurant to let them know how amazing it was just so they would understand how much we appreciate good pizza. I think we scared them a little but hopefully in a good way. So don't waste time. Go give this place a try. The nice weather is coming! Dog friendly, 99% kid friendly. read more

Found this gem on a trip to visit family in tumwater. The vibes were super friendly and the service is fast as hell!! We ordered a classic pepperoni pizza, buffalo wings, and mozzarella sticks... and of course some beer The food was amazing. Have to give it up to the Wings. They were crispy, hot, and perfect amount of sauce. Overall everything was top notch. Would definitely come back! They had a lot of other options for pizza that looked good too so check them out read more

I went here for lunch with a few friends today. It was around 1pm so it wasn't super busy but there were a few occupied tables. When we walked in we were greeted and able to order immediately. I split some mozz sticks with one friends and got the fun guy pizza. The mozz sticks came out quickly and were delicious. They were hot and had a good cheese pull. They tasted delicious too. The pizza was also good but did come with massive whole garlic cloves on it which I wasn't expecting. Maybe I didn't read the description fully but it was just a lot. I ended up picking all of them off and eating the pizza that way and it was pretty good. The restaurant was clean and had good space. The bathroom was also pretty clean and is gender neutral which was a pleasant surprise. I would go back here again! read more

We'd been living in the Oly area for months before I managed to get my family here after hearing great things. Not only were we not disappointed, but after one visit it became our family's favorite place. Besides "traditional" flavors of pizza that rock, they have inventive flavors that have so far been absolute bangers, all of them. The birds and bees, a pizza with fried chicken, spicy pickles, and hot honey is a g.d. revelation (which my wife was scared to try but now demands). We've tried nearly ever pizza on the menu as well as a special (summer BBQ), and there hasn't been a clinker in the lot. The wings (we've tried the lemon pepper) are crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Again using my wife as a barometer, she hates wings (because messy fingers or some nonsense), but LOVED the l.p. ones. They have a rotating selection of beers on tap and by the bottle/can (takeout only), as well as cocktails and wine. The kids offerings include our kids' favorite; a generous pizza on a frisbee plate with craft root beer and fruit snacks. I think all that runs $8, and my kids (10yos) can barely or not finish the food, making it one of if not the best kids meal values in the greater Oly area. We prefer sitting outside at the covered tables, but inside features plenty of seating as well as big screens. There are heaters available outside and a 21+ seating area if you're trying to get away from the ankle biters. Our service has always been great. It's an order at the counter spot, and they drop your food off without much follow-up, but since our food has always been perfect, and since they have self-serve utensils and such, that's been fine. The staff is also good for a chat and I've never felt anything but overwhelmingly welcome. When I saw on Facebook that they have a membership you can join, I leapt at it. $120 (as of 2024) for 20oz pours at 16oz prices, 15% off total bill, a shirt (which I still haven't gotten as of 8/22/24, but hopefully soon), a key ring, and bragging rights. There is an annual window to join, as I gather, but if it's open, it's worth joining. I can't recommend my favorite restaurant enough! read more

We were here on a busy Sunday afternoon. Several TVs going with the Mariners game. Yay! We claimed the last available 4-top then got up to order at the counter. Good thing, too, because it was packed and there were only two people working front of house, including the bar. We waited patiently since it was obvious they were understaffed. Once we ordered the food did arrive quickly. We didn't try any cocktails or beer but the beer selection looked extensive and they had a cold case to buy cans to-go. A Cuban pizza was the special for the day (not on the menu), delicious! Pulled pork, ham bites, pickles, and mustard drizzle, so so good. The crust has a sour dough taste which is fantastic. We also ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza that was delightful. Big open seating area inside with garage doors that could open on a nicer day. It was raining and a little chilly when we were there so nobody was sitting in the covered outdoor area. Could use another wall menu posted that is easier to see without having to be right at the counter. Kinda felt like I was in the way of the staff coming from behind the bar and out of the kitchen. There is an ice cream shop next door in the same building. Will return! read more

I've been here twice now. The first time we got the house salad (delicious), the cheese curds (it's mozzarella balls breaded and served with honey), and the wings. This time, we got a Caesar salad and the combo. The food is decent. The pizza is the star here, along with the beer. When you walk in, it's a large open area and you walk up to the counter to order your food and drink. The staff come by every now and then, dropping off food and picking up empty plates. You bus your own table. It's decent pizza and I'll be back. But some small tweaks can really make this place 5 star like more toppings on salad, salt and pepper shakers at all tables, and maybe make it a little warmer inside. read more

My dad and I come here after talking our dogs to the dog park. They've got delicious pizza (sourdough crust and hop sauce give it a unique flavor), and they always have a yummy beer we want to try. Right now, they have a delicious mead from Axis Meads called Dark Sarcasm that is super good. We're also big dark beer people, and these guys *usually* have a dark beer on tap. They're dog friendly (outside, but not inside) and have a big, covered patio where you can sit and eat with your pups on leash. It's a big part of what we love about it. They're a sister restaurant to Oly Taproom downtown. So if you like Oly Taproom's pizza or beers, you'll likely find something you like at Briggs. The specialty pizza menu is different, which is kinda neat to try different things. We love The Birds and the Bees and the La Carnivora pizzas. read more

Discovered Briggs Taphouse during a lunchtime errand. An unexpected revelation. "The PNW" salad arrived - architecturally sound. Baby spinach formed a little emerald mountain on my plate, tender leaves, garden-fresh vitality. Smoked salmon came shredded, draped like coral-pink ribbons contacting red onion slivers providing calculated sharpness. Cranberries scattered like rubies. Chewy-sweet bursts. Sharp cheddar golden shards amplified salmon's depth. But, those just-roasted hazelnuts! stole attention. scene stealer. Warm fragrance ascending. House-made honey-mustard bound everything. Amber. Perfect viscosity. First forkful - sensory overload. Warm hazelnuts against cool greens in a tangy textural choreography. God yes and attentive staff enhanced everything. Unexpected discovery. Return visit inevitable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

My wife and I and our 2 year old went down to Olympia on a Saturday afternoon for the children's museum (a must stop if have kids) so we obviously wanted a libation and some tasty grub afterwards. Look no further. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful. You order at the register and then grab a seat with plenty of outdoor options. Local craft beers in 3 size options from 6oz tasters to your full pints. Wine, ciders and some cocktails too. A creative assortment of pizzas, 4 types of wings, salads and more. We had the bird and bees small 10 inch pizza and their garlic wings. The pizza was a perfect crust (and I am picky so well done and why got the 5 rating) a white sauce that was flavorful but not overstated... and wait for it fried chicken and a honey drizzle. It sounded questionable to me too but my wife was game to try so I agreed. Glad we did, was delicious. The wings were fried in a magical frier- no grease, nothing rubbery and great slight crunch with the crisp skin. And yum if you like garlic as much as I. If not try one of the other options. The only note is an old Yelp review says has a kids area - that is now a beer garden for adults 21+ only. They now have a loyal customer when I come down from Tacoma read more

Delicious wings and great pizza. Hope more people come out and enjoy. Great selection of locals brews

Our family has long awaited the opening of this sweet little neighborhood restaurant. We watched as the building was constructed, watched the interior be designed, watched the neighboring businesses open and waited for the taphouse to finally open. Today, we went in. I am so bummed as I was hoping for an amazing experience and envisioned many evenings, walking up to the restaurant, meeting friends, eating and walking home. I am definitely going to wait a few months, go back and try again, and hold hope out for this place but my rating for today is a solid 2. First, when I am not in the mood for beer I really enjoy soda with my pizza. This place only offers soda by the can. I hate it when businesses do this. I dont want to pay a lot for a can of soda and have to keep going back and buying more cans in the middle of my dinner. Why do this when you have craft beer, cider, and rootbeer on tap? Secondly, the pizza combos they offer are just odd. I like that they offer a few artisan pizzas but offer some traditional ones too. Yes, I know I can build my own pizza but I don't want my pizza to be super expensive because I want to create my own using expensive ala carte options. We had the combo pizza and I specifically asked if the green peppers were in rings (I dont like them but my boyfriend does, so my plan was to pick them off). The cashier assured me they were rings but when the pizza came out they were chopped and all over the pizza. Ok, I could deal with that but the pizza crust was burned. We waited about 30 min for the pizza and it was crowded so we just dealt with it. The sauce has a weird almost metallic aftertaste. My daughters kids pizza had thick crust and was decent except she asked for black olives and they gave her kalamata olives (I dont know about you but my kids arent a fan of Kalamata olives). The roll up door was open which caused a draft where we were sitting (44 degrees ouit) which wasn't real enjoyable) You order and then sit down. If you want more than one beer you have to keep a tab open as they don't offer pitchers or growlers. Which meant standing in a long line to order another beer. When we were done we had to stand in line for 15 minutes to pay the bill. Not good. All told we had a large combo pizza, kids pizza, a rootbeer, two beers and one cider. It cost us 73.00. I dunno, I am pretty bummed. I have high hopes for this place and will give it a chance to work the kinks out before I try again and update my review. read more

Stop being so great. Awesome pizza, check. Cool salads, check. Delicious wings, check. Separate fenced in bona fide dog area outside to eat the fantastic food with man's best friend, double check! Get in here and try the fun guy pizza, or don't, this place is almost too good to share. read more

Been here many times. Really want to still like this place but the last 3 times we've been here over the last year the pizza is not as good as it was after first opening. We always get the chicken bacon ranch and you can't hold the slice of pizza, it just flops and all the toppings slide off. The taste however is good. The other issue is the bathrooms are growing increasingly gross. They aren't keeping them up. For the price of what you pay compared to other pizza joints in town, it needs improvement. read more

Briggs is fantastic! I have been here twice now even though it's over an hour from where we live. Not only do they allow pets on the patio, they are so accommodating and friendly! We had a couple of dogs our first time there and a pretty large group, they were so nice, provided water bowls and ice, were so loving toward our pups, and generally provided excellent service. And of course all of that is for nothing if the food and drinks aren't good, but they are absolutely fantastic! The pizza is delicious and their drink selection is excellent. We had several different pies and no one had even the slightest complaint about any of them. We can't wait to find more reasons to head down that way to go back. read more

Great pizza, with some fun varieties to try! Friendly service, lots of beer options to try, fun atmosphere!

Great beer and great environment to hang out at. Did not try the food yet but it sure looked great..

Pizza was great! Loved the flavor of the sausage and thought the crust, sauce, and cheese were all delicious. Lots of choices for adult beverages and I selected a local Washington beer. The Caesar salad was also super yummy! read more

We really like the pizza from here and the cheese curds are Excellent. My only complaint is that they added chicken to the Meat pizza and neither my wife nor I like the change as we think it was better before they started adding the chicken. read more

Ate here and had a pizza with obvious holes all through the bottom. Also had way too many toppings. Was basically soup on top. Not very tasty either. Didn't finish and won't come back. Was ignored by staff and then watched her turn to another person and rolled her eyes right in front of me. Overpriced and overrated. If I could give less stars I would. read more

I was in the neighborhood and decided to pick up some pizzas while in the area. We didn't get to dine in, but loved the vibe of the whole place during pickup. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is perfect. Staff are really friendly. Service was quite fast and prices are fair. The pizza was one of the best we've had in the area. We will be back next time we're craving pizza. read more

The pizza is bomb! So yummy. The crust is perfection. Just the right amount of crunch and chew. Will order again!

Amazing Pizza, no alternatives if your significant other isn't in the mood for pizza, a hamburger would be nice on a sourdough bun. The register prompts for a tip but no one provides any service. You have to go stand in line if you want another beer so order more in advance to prevent from standing in line. Be prepared to clean up your table, I'm not sure if this is required but it looks like they expect it. It's an OK place that could be a lot better if someone paid attention or took some feedback. Looks like business is good so change is probably off the table, pity. read more

A solid pie, with good toppings and tasty red sauce and crust. That said, I would pass on getting one delivered. The very thin interior crust combined with a good amount of sauce makes the center almost translucent, and the toppings and cheese slide off too easily. Dining in would be awesome, though. Better by far than the big chains (Domino's, etc.) but not quite Vic's, Old School, or Wicked. read more

We met some friends for lunch here on a Sunday. My husband and I shared a Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza and a Panzanella salad. The salad was fresh and consisted of arugula greens, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, garbanzo beans, and olives. The pizza was excellent with a crisp, chewy crust, white sauce, and delicious toppings. Next time, I want to try a pizza with their signature marinara sauce that's made with herbs and hops! You seat yourself and we chose to sit outside in the shade. There is a self-serve water table available. You order and pay at the register inside. The food was served quite fast, considering they had a good number of customers there. read more

I've been here a couple times now, and I really like it. It's a great place to bring a group of people especially if you sit outside because there's a lot of seating. The outside seating is covered and heated and dogs are allowed. All the drinks are great, the selection of beer and other drinks is really good, and the food is pretty good too. I found the pizza to be kind of OK but the different kinds of chicken wings are delicious. I'll definitely come here again with groups of people! read more

First time coming here and had a terrible experience! Came here with my family that was visiting from out of town. I got a cocktail and the cashier said to pick it up at the bar. After a few minutes, I went up to the bar and politely asked the bartender, "Excuse me, what drink is this?" She said, "the Lacey Fog," which is what I got. Being my first time here, I wasn't sure if I should just take whatever drink or what the drink even looked like, which I tried to explain to her (her name was Britt) -- I didn't want to take someone else's drink. In a very rude tone she asked, "WHAT DID YOU GET?!" and said "THAT'S THE LACEY FOG!" Pretty much snapping at me. I didn't appreciate her demeanor/attitude which was very degrading so I told her to not speak to me that way. I might've not been nice when I told her that -- she said she didn't appreciate me snapping at her? Okay, well maybe you should treat people with respect so it's reciprocated especially in this industry -- you don't snap at customers. I later went to grab another cocktail and the lady at the cashier(I believe her name was Taylor), said she couldn't serve me anymore because she didn't appreciate the way I spoke to her manager. I worked in the restaurant industry and I never heard of a manager speak to guest like that. I'm not sure how this bartender/manager still has her job because she has an attitude issue and no customer service skills. Their bar system SUCKS too! Our salad and appetizer also came out after our pizza, which sucked. Food was good but customer service wasn't -- good enough reason to not want to come back. read more
