Well, there are the obvious... well selected ingredients (Adams wild mushrooms), a quaint view of Gig Harbor, etc etc But let's get back to the Averages The team working here would put any to shame. Between taking orders promptly and delivering food quickly, that is quite frankly amazing (so good we ordered the second pizza....) They are joking, tossing pizza, being the friends you wish you had. This place is a class act. A case study in great teamwork that just happens to serve amazing pizza. Apparently, I'm new here, because lots of people know this as they keep stoking that fire.

I have heard such good things about this place so we had to try it. My husband said his pizza was…read morephenomenal and he knows his pizza. Unfortunately what tanked my review was the salad. To be honest, it was probably one of the worst salads I've had in a long time. The dressing was very bland and I asked for no hard boiled egg and it came out with it on. I had already picked it off in the photo. I asked for chicken (+$3) and it seemed like it was that premade bagged chicken. The tomatoes were also not good. I ate maybe 1/3 of it. If I had gotten a pizza myself I'm sure my review would have been a 5 but the salad really ruined it for me. The staff were great though! Very friendly and attentive.

This pizza chain - at least the one in Gig Harbor - still has a very good salad bar, with all the usual goodies plus my fave: bacon bits! And two folks can chow down for about $21 bucks (taxes included). My family had pepperoni pizza, and it looked delicious. The staff is mostly young local kids and we're nice and friendly. There's also a small game arcade for the kiddies. Plenty of free parking.

We usually try to eat here whenever we're visiting the gorgeous place called Gig Harbor, and yet, this Yelp elite had not reviewed it before. The food is out of this world excellent! In fact, it's just like being in Naples or Gaeta, etc. Chef Michele "Mike" Simone and his wife, Azusa run a tight ship here, and it reflects not only in the food but also in how the place is usually packed with families and locals and tourists. Simone also comes out often and goes from table to table, talking to his happy customers and checking in... it is a joy to see and makes it feel homey. The place is decorated salon-style with tons of Italian wall hangings, sail ships, giant spoons, etc.; it's as Italian as Italian can get! The staff is friendly and efficient, and there's ample free parking at both restaurant and street. There's also outdoor sitting. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was enormous in size and super tasty. There's also a kids menu (not on the main printed menu) and those portions are also gigantic! Love Italian food? You'll wanna visit this place! Reservations recommended!

The vibe of this restaurant is great. Staff and owner are very friendly. It has a homey vibe, is…read moresuper laid back, and comfortable. The owner came out to chat with customers and many in the restaurant knew him, there were many regulars. We ordered the Caesar salad, soup (can't remember the name but similar to a minestrone), lamb chops, and veal Marsala. Overall the food was good, but not life changing. The flavors were what you'd think they'd be, pretty standard dishes. I was excited for the Caesar but found it to be too mild. I wanted more funk. The soup was basic, probably wouldn't order it again. The lamb chops were grilled after being cut which I believe is the cause of it being overcooked and a little dry. Grilling an entire rack will keep the juices inside. The veal Marsala was my favorite dish we ordered. Also not life changing but good. Overall, I would go back for a fun, loving atmosphere and decent food.

Our new favorite for Detroit-style pizza. Not a soggy bottom nor an undercooked center in sight…read more Husband and I each ate two slices and were happy to have another two slices for leftovers the following day. (Reheats really well in a med-hot skillet on parchment before finishing in the oven/air fryer. Keeps the crust crisp!) We were there to celebrate Father's Day and the service was great, they kept up with the dinner crowd the whole time we were there. Be prepared to be patient for your pizza to be ready, it takes time to bake that thick crust to perfection, but the beer garden was a comfortable place to relax while we waited to eat. Plenty of seats inside and with generous amounts of shaded seating for the garden diners too. Side note, I really appreciated the waitress doublechecking the current selection of darker beers for us before getting our drinks. Stellar service from start to finish.

Not the first time this has happened, but delivery from this location is absolutely atrocious…read more Made an order for two very basic pizzas at 5:15. Was told the estimated delivery was 6 pm. Making pizzas isn't rocket science, so this was already at the high end with delivery about 10 minutes away. Called the location at 6:25. The manager said he had called and left a message. He hadn't. Said it was going to be another 30 minutes. It's 6:55...it still hasn't left Papa Johns. If I could give no stars, I would have.

There is often a food truck, so if you don't mind that kind of setup there is at least food available across the lot. No servers or bussers as far as I noticed, so you get your own stuff and clean up after. Also no bar, just beer and wine. And I have had Seven Seas beers many times, and haven't really found one I would go back for. Lots of people love their beer, I'm not saying it's bad! Just not for me. Service is minimal at best. In the times I have been there, it's been one beertender, no service at your table and service at the bar has been less than great. Not particularly friendly, just .... there. If you've never been, I'd recommend checking it out for the experience. But the Tides is also right there and in my opinion such a better experience. Also parking is VERY limited, so you may have to park a block or two away.

The waitress explained each dish very well and recommended exactly what I wanted to try. The seafood pasta was fresh and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly.
