Yummy Italian food! I've been going to Sparta's ever since I was young; it's a family favorite! I love the Feta cheese dressing they use in the salads, and the Danish cheese they use is unique and delicious! I got the Baked Spaghettini, which came with a salad and buttery, thick garlic bread. All were so good and filling! This is the best spot for cheese lovers! Our waiter was awesome, especially since the last time I came in was with a group of 10+ people! You can make reservations; however, it doesn't get too busy here. read more

Sparta's Pizza & Pasta House - Bothell - Baked Spaghettini - Italian Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Drove 30 minutes just to satisfy our pizza craving, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, our server (this sweet young guy) made us feel welcome. He seated us right by the fireplace, which was perfect because I was already a little chilly. He took our order quickly, was attentive, and just had great energy. Now, the food. My husband got his usual go-to: pizza loaded with cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and sausage. He was in heaven. My son had the chicken parmesan, but he asked to swap the marinara for alfredo sauce, which is an option and it was so good. I went with the fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms, and honestly....it was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious!! Seriously! I couldn't even finish it...ended up taking the rest home. For salads, the guys had a Caesar and I had a regular salad with blue cheese dressing. Everything was fresh and on point. Oh, and before I forget, I ordered a tiramisu to go on the way out. Because, why not? I knew I'd want something later on for my sweet tooth. And I had no regrets. The whole experience felt warm, the staff was great, the food was delicious, and the portions are generous. This place is the real deal. We'll be back... 30 minutes or not! read more

This is an amendment to at least on of my other reviews of this restaurant. I am not a pizza fan particularly. I've been to this place a couple of times to get pasta to and have not been impressed at all. Yesterday I was with a friend who wanted pizza. When we went in the host explained there were two large groups and it would be sever minutes for a waiter to begin helping us. We took a table and decided to wait. The waiter came in less than 5 minutes and said as very helpful. The Pizza- WOW! It was the most magnificent pizza I have ever eaten. It was pretty standard, Pepperoni, sausage, black olives , mushrooms and jalapenos. From the crust upward through the cheese on top, it was fantastic. Even though I don't eat pizza often, that's changing if I can come here. read more

Fantastic pizza, with the Danish cheese. Awesome salads with their homemade creamy feta dressing. Highly recommended.

The food was good! I was happy they had a GF option for pizzas but unfortunately no gluten free option for the pastas (maybe consider adding that too in the future?). Ambiance is decent. We were a large group so we sat on a round table towards the back of the restaurant. Nothing memorable about the salads though. Our party agreed that all the pizzas we got were delicious. I recommend the feta veggie pizza. I'm not sure if it's a one off or maybe they were understaffed on that day, but the food came out really late, and we had kids with us so that was a bit of an inconvenience. read more

The moment we entered the place the serve was amazing, we were greeted with such warmth. the food was absolutely amazing it tasted so fresh the cooks absolutely get down in the kitchen because the food was 10/10. the vibes were also amazing the music they were playing was so good. I will for sure be visiting again. read more

Been visiting this spot a couple of times now. I am a big fan of their meatball sub - one of the best I've had in Seattle area so far. Pizzas a nice too but I'd go for the subs any day. They have lunch specials. Lot of tables but (from what I've seen) not a lot of staff - so if your planning to be seated then expect that there might be a wait or get your order at the table. read more

Service: 3 stars Food: 2 stars Atmosphere: Just sad My advice: Go somewhere else, this place will be probably be blown over soon enough for something new. I mean, this is Bothell. I grew up in the Seattle area and coming here was a treat. Over the years I've enjoyed the restaurant. While I haven't been back in years, this was the last time and I'll NEVER go back. The restaurant was quiet, 4 in the afternoon and we waited for 14 minutes before anyone came to bring water or ask for drinks. We almost walked out and went someone (we should have). My son and I ordered chicken Parmesan and my wife ordered a pizza. The salad came for each of the chicken Parmesan dishes. They were covered in cheese and not much lettuce. Awhile later the pizza came to the table and they left and said the rest will be out shortly. We waited for quite sometime and one of the chicken Parmesan came to the table and was told the next would be out shortly. While I waited my son offered me a piece of his garlic bread which was buttered bread, no garlic to be tasted, my son said the same. A while later my chicken Parmesan finally arrived. When we finished and the server asked if the meal was okay. We gave him the feedback explained here and explained service seemed to be non existent. His response back was that the restaurant help turnover rate is quite high. I explained the restaurant over the years had been quite good. However, we will never be back. The server said he had heard many times the place was better than it currently is from many people who had come in. We paid our bill and left. read more

I have been to Sparta's at Mill Creek a while ago and really liked the food. We wanted a dine-in experience with some great ambiance, so we decided to try the Bothell location. Hospitality was really great. It was a busy evening, we called in advance to make a reservation. The table was ready when walked in. We were helped by Alondra that day. Started with a mini pizza - #26 - Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Olives, Onions & Sliced tomatoes. Ordered a Lasagna with the soup, Cheese Ravioli, Root beer float and couple of sodas. The dine-in experience was great. They served the beverages first followed by the Salad. Also served the bread on the side with Olive oil/vinegar. Took a little bit time for the main courses to arrive. Really enjoyed the pizza. Top! The cheese ravioli was not impressive as last time we tried it; so as lasagna. Something was missing in those. Couldn't make out what's lacking! We told Alondra about this as well, she mentioned she will take the feedback to the chef. The overall experience was nice. The food was not up to the expectations. May be one off day. There are plenty to try from their options. We are disappointed, but that's not stopping us from going back and try their other options soon! read more

Cheese lovers, this one is for you! I wasn't initially convinced that I would like a Greek-style pizza, but I'm so glad that I went in with an open mind and an empty stomach. Their pizzas are a little different, with many of the toppings under neath the cheese, which I actually liked because I feel like they stayed more secure. The cheese they use is so melty and delicious, perfect for an amazing cheese pull! The owners are also fabulous and I love that this spot is locally run by a family. Even though the food comes out quick, it's not fast food. The ingredients all taste really fresh and they even make their own dressings in house! I've eaten in the restaurant a few times and like the vibes along with the beer and wine menu, but usually end up taking this to the couch, where it is best enjoyed. read more

Sparta's is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat, take out, or host a small gathering for birthday or celebration! The atmosphere is great, super friendly, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family and friends.. Their pizza is a standout, with a perfectly crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. Whether you prefer a classic pepperoni or a gourmet specialty, Sparta's always hits the spot. We got BBQ chicken this time and they allowed us to customize however we want. The pizza is a decent size and 3 people could easily share a large. If you're looking for a reliable, tasty Italian restaurant in Bothell, Sparta's Pizza & Pasta House is a must-try. read more

Greek style cheese loaded with ingredients underneath. Amazing sauce. Love this place.

A group of us came here for a Yelp Elite event and while there I bought a Blonde draft beer. Beer and Pizza...one of the greatest combos ever. I enjoyed the beer and the atmosphere at Sparta's. This place consistently provides great food and service in a locally owned unique restaurant. Great Greek and Italian influenced dishes and beautiful decor throughout. They even have a rather large outdoor area that would be great on a warm Summer evening. Keep it up Sparta's. We love your place! read more

I mean 60 bucks for a pizza to be delivered? The crust was good. The cheese was good but 60 bucks.? Not that good but you know a good pie

I usually get takeout from Sparta's location in Lynnwood. Haven't tried the new location in Mill Creek. However, this visit on 5/10/23 in Bothell was a convenient detour from Woodinville via Hwy 522 on the way home to Shoreline. Convenient parking lot, large interior dining area and also an outdoor patio area - perfect for the warmer, drier months to dine al fresco. Pleasant person at the host/reception stand. Menu items include starters, apps, pizza, pasta, and desserts. I placed my order onsite - large Italian sausage with extra cheese (w/ discount, tax, tip = about $35). It was a relatively brief wait and was handed a fresh, hefty, piping hot pizza. Back on the road and stuck in the usual commute traffic, the pizza traveled well and was relatively warm by the time I arrived home for dinner. Great local indie with convenient locations in Lynnwood, Bothell, and Mill Creek. Solid choice for both dine in and takeout. read more

The number 30 pizza is so excellent! Love the danish cheese on top. Keep doing good things!! read more

Lovely atmosphere. Salad was good. I ordered an $18 Meatball sandwich. Po Boy bread slightly burned. Meatballs buried deep in bread. But the first thing I noticed were cold lamb bits at the top of the sandwich. I assumed they made gyros and Meatball sandwiches next to each other. I pointed that out and sent it back for another go. Second sandwich came with hot meatballs, mozzarella...and cold bits of lamb at the top of the sandwich, also, the bread was legit burned! I got it to go, drank my beer and fed it to my dog. read more

I'm not sure what's happening but this pizza is melting in my mouth. The cheese is heavenly, what is it? I got a pepperoni and sausage slice and added some hot honey on top and honestly if anyone interrupts me eating this they will land somewhere on the scale of being blissfully mindlessly ignored or have their head bitten off (ewe, gross, don't make me, don't ruin my pizza mouth flavor). I'm a pizza snob from working in a New York style pizzeria as a 20 something and it takes a lot to impress me. This impresses me. Now, shhh, I'm eating... read more

"Greek Pizza" Wait: 4 people before us (no wait because no one was in the restaurant). ~12:30 Price: 4 Sizes, 7", 10", 12", 16". The 10 inch pizza I ordered was around $10.50 (Not cheap, bad value. . . see food review below) Staff: Nothing above and beyond, but average. Unfortunately server shortchanged us. (~19 cents. . . but that's not really that big of a deal, just probably wont come back again). Environment: Nice, Cozy. The fireplace was very cool. Tables were clean. Utensils were not. There was a fat scratch on the booth seat tho which was weird. Restrooms were clean, sink was kinda short. The ceiling in the restroom was moldy. Food: #10, Pizza with Pepperoni, Bacon, Sausage. Pizza came out nice and hot. Quite pricy for the size. There was a crap ton of cheese. Like TOO much cheese and Im used to having a lot of cheese on pizza. Cheese was ON TOP of the toppings so the pepperoni was not crispy. Bacon was not bacon, it was ham. The cheese stuck to the meat and when I bit it, it fell of the pizza because of the sauce. It was dripping with oil too. Very heavy pizza (Filling pizza ig?). Dough was nice. Other comments: This chain could save money by putting less cheese on the pizza. Maybe count better too? I was disinclined on giving a tip because the staff short changed me (not really a money issue, more of a moral issue and cus it annoys me). Experience: MEH 4/10 read more

Yummy Mimi pizza. And had a meatball too. Carry out was easy and the staff wasost helpful during a busy time!! Enjoyed the atmosphere even for a short time for a carry out order. Will go back again!! read more

Excellent as always. I never miss a chance to come here when I'm in town. Our new favorite combo is the #5 plus onions. That includes Pepperoni, Canadian bacon, Mushrooms, and Green Peppers. Also their Tiramisu is wonderful and homemade. read more

Absolutely awesome food! We had lasagna, personal pizzas, soup of the day, cannelloni. They were worried that they had made an error on our pickup(they hadn't), and called within minutes so we could come back. Everything was perfect with our order and it was done on time. read more

I want to like Sparta's a little more than I do. It's a local, home-town type pizza joint, and I think we all would like a little more of that. The problem is, the pizza just isn't that great, in my opinion. The service is good. There are always a lot of teenagers working, and that's a good thing. They seem to be well-mannered and well-trained, always friendly and helpful. At our last visit a week ago both the young man hosting as well as the young man serving were just about as friendly as can be and made us feel very welcome. I know a lot of locals really like the pizza here, and I won't say that they're wrong, it's just not my taste. The special cheese they use is kind of bland and doesn't add a lot to the flavor. The toppings are fine, the crust is fine, and even the price is fine...but I've never had a meal there and thought, 'Now that was a great meal!' Sparta's is close to my house so we go there a lot of times because of that. It's a decent meal at a decent price...I just wish they'd change it up just a little to make it a little tastier. read more

I've been here a few times and I recommend it. This was my first time ordering out and I'd say, dine in for sure. The pizza was cold when it was delivered. Now, I like cold pizza but not when it's meant to be fresh out the oven. When it is fresh, it's great! Its in the top 10 pizza places I've tried out here in the PNW. I'm a huge salad fan too. I loved this dressing with this salad. It was more of a spring/summer salad but it paired well with the pizza. This is also a great place to celebrate or just to spend time with friends and family while eating good food. read more

We tried this place for the first time tonight and wow! IT WAS HORRIBLE. Disgusting and flavorless. I mean really, really bad. Olive Garden is 100% better and we think Olive Garden is bad also. I can't believe this place is even in business. read more

Went there today with our granddaughter for lunch. We've always wanted to try, so this was our first and last time! 1st an ant crawled all over our table. 2nd I ordered salad with chicken, there was no chicken, my grand daughter and I got our lunch while grandpa had to wait at least 5 or more minutes for his! Very, very disappointed! No wonder there were no cars in the parking lot! read more

Sparta's for the win!! My family and I had dinner here last night and we absolutely loved it. Coming here brings feelings of nostalgia for my husband and his parents, so it's nice to be able to visit this location. I love their traditional Sparta's salad, it's so simple yet so flavorful, just ice berg lettuce, mozzarella cheese and black olives. My in-laws love getting the senior specials, while my favorite is ordering a mini pizza. It's always cozy and a treat to sit next by the indoor gas fireplace, adds to the holiday vibes and bonus points for the Christmas music playing. read more

I went here again because I really wanted to like this food. It is close to my house, with good prices and a wide variety of foods, but my entree was horrible again. I ordered the spaghetti and there was some kind of sweet cinnamon like spice in my dish. My friend who came with me is East Indian and he said the spaghetti tasted like East Indian style spaghetti with turmeric and cloves. I wasn't sure what it was, but I think it might have been too much brown sugar and oregano. I ended up eating half of my entree salad (which was good) and boxing up my entire dish for my friend to take home. read more

Sparta's USED to be a great pizza. I used to be a regular here. One of the best. But the last 3 times I've had pizza here, it's been very disappointing. They used to put list of meat on the pizzas. Not anymore. I almost called the first time, but thought it was just a bad night. Next time--same thing. Third times is consistently--not good. I'm over it Spartas. You guys charge way too much for a mediocre product. Wish you guys would fix this, but I'm not confident that you care or will. Disappointed. Gary read more

Old Neighborhood pizza join that make descent pizza. I tried the spaghettini meatballs and the Sparta special pizza. Next time I'd just stick with the pizza. Will definitely be back for the pizza. Giving Taste a 7 because pasta wasn't good. T - 7 A - 7 B - 8 S - 8 read more

We would go back, but not sure it's "the best in the Universe," as they advertise! I can appreciate the confidence though! Food: Pizza is thick pan style crust. Sauce is a little sweet but too much... it's quite delicious. Lots of cheese. Salad portion is good, but the lettuce could be fresher. Some pieces were a little old and starting to look it. Garlic bread was huge but barely warmed up. Service: Very nice staff! Food took 15 minutes. Only did pick up though, might dine in next time and update the review. Price: We ordered a medium pie and salad to go... it cost us almost $40! That's a lot of dough... Location: Parking lot was easy to get to and lots of spaces. It's close to downtown Bothell and many homes in the area. Good location for to go orders. Again, we'll likely go back but are looking forward to finding another thick crust pan style place to also try in the area and compare! read more

There is a lot to say about this pizza. The pizza looked just like the picture. First bite response was I could really taste the sauce. Many pizzas see the sauce overpowered by all the other ingredients. This one had a great tomato flavor. Nice balance of cheese, toppings and sauce. Now this was delivery and you don't typically get the full test for quality with delivery. I am Interested in eating there because the topping and cheese did want to come of but hey, what's a little sauce on your fingers read more

We were seated immediately and the atmosphere was very homey and nice which I loved. They had an indoor fire pit which was cool. They had an abundance of staff but we were one of the only tables of guests. The food was good. We got a #34, #35, and a create your own pizza. They are deep dish pizzas and the larges are definitely a lot of food.. but they are also expensive. The pizzas were unique, as they have cheese over the crust, which I really enjoyed. We also got the mannicotti, which was good but nothing to write home about. We got a Caesar salad and a house salad with the creamy feta dressing which was really good and unique! I think the biggest let down was the service and the set up. We were a group of four, but did not have enough room for the 3 pizzas on our table so one had to be put on a nearby table which was annoying. Our server also kept forgetting little things- side of ranch, drink refills, extra plates, etc. Overall, our experience here was fine but it was definitely nothing to write home about. read more

I was excited to try this upside down method (toppings underneath the cheese vs vice versa). Thought that was an innovative idea but unfortunately didn't love it. It resulted in the cheese becoming... stiff? If that makes sense? It came in a block form almost as if it was melted on a plate beforehand and then layered on top of the pizza after cooking (I doubt this is the procedure but that's how it felt). The cheese wasn't melted into the sauce/crust/toppings at all. End of the day it's take out pizza so we can't complain, but it wasn't my favorite. read more
