We had a great experience here. I ordered the Apollo pizza, and the flavors really worked well together -- creamy pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken were balanced and flavorful. I also loved that the pizzas are made in a wood-fired oven. Our waitress asked if we wanted parmesan and ranch, which I appreciated -- especially since the parmesan was freshly grated and the ranch tasted house-made. Their happy hour prices are amazing, and they even have my boyfriend's favorite beer, Ridgetop Red. Plus, there was plenty of parking, which is always a bonus. Definitely a spot we'd come back to. read more

Great service! Brick oven pizza with a super good pizza dude! Full bar and good iced tea!!

Would do 3.5 stars. We sat at the bar and ordered the Greek salad and razorback pizza (add caramelized onions). Both the pizza and salad came out at the same time- not a long wait either. The salad was ok- a lot of lettuce, the chicken was a little tough in some parts. The salad was a little pricey, especially given 75% of it was lettuce. The pizza was delicious, they are super generous with their toppings, the protein especially. The slight drizzle of honey really helped tone down of the salt from the bacon and ham. I think there was supposed to be pepperoni on it too but there wasn't and the caramelized onions were just raw onions. Still good overall. Service is top notch, above friendly and personable. This was a great experience and I would happily return. read more

Tessio - Razorback Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

My wife and I went here for Fathers Day. I wanted pizza, she suggested Tessio's based on (long) past experience. We were immediately greeted and seated. Service throughout was adequate to good. No complaints there. We ordered bacon wrapped smokies and a pizza. They had some rather odd topping combinations which is a bit off-putting as I am more a traditionalist when it comes to pizza toppings. Forgot which one we ordered but it had spicy Italian sausage, pepperocini and mushrooms. Was really good but had to limit myself to 2 pieces on account of the spice (from the sausage) being at the edge of my usual tolerance. That said, it made a great breakfast the next day. Yes, it is pricey so it is more an occasional treat rather than regular dining. I have to nick them down based on the price... pizza is really not that expensive to make. Overall a pleasant ambiance, good service, good food. Just on the expensive side for what you get. read more

I haven't been here in a few years. The customer service was outstanding! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Not many people dining even though it was the lunch hour. Loved my stuffed portobello mushrooms. Would eat that every time. Did not like my sandwich, and my friend's pizza looked OK, but I wouldn't order one. I love their sister restaurant in Bremerton more. But I will try this place one more time. read more

The bacon wrapped sausages were what brought us in. They did not disappoint. They stood up to the reviews. I ordered the Havana sandwich and my husband had the baller sandwich. We exchanged halves. Delicious. The service was friendly and warm. It is definitely a destination. read more

Love this place. The specialty cocktails are the best! A regular stop for girls night!

Silverdale WA. A solid 5 stars for me. Still sitting here at Tessio, 1/2 the pizza gone. All the salad gone. I don't normally write these till later. 238 reviews and over 400 check ins. I eat out a lot. Pizza is a normal thing for me. Greens too. I got to say I really like this place. The staff, pretty friendly. The food, absolutely yummy. The side salad and pizza was so well constructed that it touched my tastebud's soul. Warm bacon on my salad, yum. The flavors were just on point. Well constructed, lots of ingredients, got my moneys worth. Not sure what the negative reviews are about but try it yourself and see. read more

Great beer, drinks, and pizza. What more could you ask for? Oh, a convenient location too!

Had a late dinner at Tessio's based on the restaurants open until 10pm on a Saturday, with good reviews, in the Bremerton and Silverdale area, that I hadn't been to yet. Dinner was good. Ordered the bacon wrapped smokies, chopped salad, and a specialty pizza (I forgot the name, but it had red sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell pepper, mushrooms, and scallions). My husband had one of the ciders. Also good. The reason I rated this restaurant four stars, was that based on the reviews, I was expecting pizza that would make me forget other pizzas in Washington state. Don't get me wrong... the pizza was delicious. Crisp, and lots of fresh toppings. I just have really high expectations for wood-fired pizza. I have my favorites where I live in SW Washington. My parents live in Bremerton, WA and I visit Kitsap County once a month, or so. The service at Tessio's was GREAT!! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Of the three items my husband and I ordered, I liked the salad the best. I know I'm going to "date" myself, but my favorite pizza of all time was Shakey's Public House Special with pepperoni, mushrooms, and bell peppers, on Wheaton Way in the 1970's. Not a competitor in today's market because it closed decades ago. I would recommend others to try the pizza at Tessio's and form your own opinion. CHEERS! read more

Came in on a Friday at 5. East to get a seat. Server came over quickly to bring water and take drink orders. Pizza order was an American standard and a your in charge which is a create your own pizza. The American standard is a pepperoni pizza with olives and mushrooms. It had good flavor with a bit of a spicy kick. On the create your own we had ham and mushrooms. I don't know what it was about this pizza but I liked it more than my favorite, pepperoni. Both were real good and would come again for pizza. read more

Service was good. They have wood fired pizza which is a huge plus. They also have a decent bourbon selection.

Just wonderful food! Loved the Bacon Wrapped Smokies, but the rest of the meal was delightful as well. Lucky to stop by on the way home from camping at Scenic Beach. Our server was very sweet and did a great job especially considering she was waiting on the entire restaurant plus bartending! read more

Tessio - The What About Bob Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

Silverdale has a variety of pizza places to dine at but this is my go to. It's a small cozy spot with great customer service, good food and a full bar! Gotta order their wedge salad. It's a meal in itself. I don't like to share it. The wedge is sprinkled with bacon and sits in a moat of a delicious blue cheese dressing that contains tomatoes and candied pecans. It is a magnificent salad. My spouse and I always share a pizza. The pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven which you can see from anywhere you sit in the restaurant. I don't have a favorite pizza because they are all delicious. This time my husband decided he needs an appetizer as he is not eating my wedge, he orders a flatbread! The flatbread is brought to the table and it's the same size as our pizza! We brought that bad boy home. It was cooked in the wood fired oven and had cheese- which I could place the type, Greek black olives, mushrooms, onions and prosciutto on it. It was delicious! The staff is fun and engaging. They have a full bar. Their house margarita is so delicious the taste motivates you to have another. The decorative theme is paintings of guitars and rock and roll is overhead. Looking for a small intimate place for pizza this is the place! read more

Tessio - The wedge salad - Pizza Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

We have found our new favorite Kitsap County dining establishment! Not only have they opened up some outdoor seating during this maddening shut down but the service and quality of food is superb! Tonight we enjoyed the spicy meatballs, wedge salad and Brewers Special pizza. I officially crave the wedge salad after enjoying it for the first time a couple weeks ago, best wedge I've ever had! Plenty of dressing, lots of halved cherry tomatoes, bacon for days and oh my, those candied walnuts take it over the top!! The spicy meatballs are loaded with cheese and have just enough kick to keep your taste buds tingling but not too much to make them too spicy for even the lightweights! Every pizza is a culinary delight with flavors and combinations that are definitely not your average pizza toppings. The Brewers Special did not let us down! Oh, and you've got to have a Lemon Drop, they're the best in town, not too sweet and plenty of lemon tartness. Service is spot on! No matter how often you go, whether once or weekly, they treat you like you're a regular! Friendly, outgoing and attentive, they'll make you feel right at home! Thank you Tessio's for weathering the storm and going above and beyond to serve your community! read more

This was our first visit to this wonderful pizza parlor! We enjoyed great service and the pizza was delicious! We were celebrating the new year with our daughter who is stationed up in Washington state, in the Navy and she highly recommended this restaurant, it's her favorite! I must say, during Mondays, this wonderful restaurant will discount military members, active or retired, pizza orders fifty percent! They really appreciate military members! Each of us ordered a different pizza and then we shared it all! By the way, they have a great choice of beers on tap and I recommend trying one of the local microbrews! The beer is delicious! Thank you Tessio's for a wonderful New Year 2023 dining experience! We will see you next time we are visiting the Silverdale, Washington area! read more

The pizza is the best, all the salads are fantastic. We love the broccoli and meat balls. All the food is really good.

We attended a private event last night and we're blown away. The food and drink were excellent but what made the night was the staff. They had been great the whole night but when another individual decided to verbally harrass my group the staff swooped in and kicked her out. When we were getting ready to leave a gentleman who I heard might be one of the owners walked us out so we could get to our car safely. Thank you. We will definitely be back! read more

Wow - I just moved back to Kitsap after being in Seattle the last 10 years. One thing I've missed so much (covid or not) is good food as Kitsap doesn't have the best selection in comparison to my beloved Seattle. With that being said - Tessio, you win. Spectacular wedge salad, I told our bartender/waiter Brian (he was amazing - will get to him in a moment) that the salad is a top 10 in my life honestly. Now let's get to the nitty gritty. The drinks were fabulous. I had the Easy cocktail and my fiancé had a Manhattan. We enjoyed the cheese bread and ordered the Belly Warmer pizza along with another pizza that I'm blanking on the name... Both spectacular. But BRIAN P! This waiter/bartender, the best part. The man waited on the whole restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, no other wait staff or servers or hosts. Very easygoing and delightful. We will be back on Wednesday for Brian and his fabulous service! Happy to have a new date spot here in Kitsap. read more

Tessio - Wedge salad is to die for just a heads up! - Pizza Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

disclaimer: i really do not like to eat pizza and don't ever go out of my way for a slice. that said i could tell based on yelp pics that their pizzas were different from other places, and i was with someone who is a mega pizza lover so i suggested coming here. i'll be honest and say i did not love my salad, it was mostly romaine topped with arugula, some kalamata olives w feta and some strips of roast chicken. but i needed a salad so $19 was what it was. i would not recommend the salad BUT their chopped salads look worth it - loaded with toppings it seems! we got the razorback pizza and these pizzas are HEFTY! the generosity with toppings was WILD. ya'll i watched them really load those babies up with meats, cheeses, peppers... ive never in my life said a pizza was worth it, but these were so worth it! i could only eat ONE slice because they were so hefty. the service was the best part, i loved the ladies working and how personal they were not only with regulars but us out of towners! the power went out a bit and they made light of it, such positive energy. i appreciated everything about this place, the people were wonderful. the bathrooms smell good and are very clean too. ;-) read more

We are visiting from Az. Looking for a good pizza joint. Showed up and it was happy hour. Grapefruit drop martini is good. So if you don't get anything else Lil smilies wrapped in bacon is a must. It's meat candy. We also ordered the lovers pie. Pink sauce, sausage, red onion prosciutto and papa dew pepper. All wood fired. So tasty. And no masks required!!!!!! Huge plus in my book. read more

Second time we attempted this restaurant. The first time we went in and didn't get acknowledged for 10 minutes and left. Tried it again due to the good reviews but it was the worst food experience I've had. We sat at the bar top and had full view of the open kitchen and it was disgusting. We watched the cook touch his clothing, face, dirty dishes, surfaces and then in all one movement put cheese and toppings on pizzas with the same ONE glove on-- didn't even have 2 gloves on. I would have thought since having a see through kitchen, the cook would know common sense and food safety. Only reason we stayed was the amazing bartenders and yummy drinks. Please train your cooks, Tessio has potential. barf. read more

Tuesday date night was a 8/10 at Tessio. The kitchen was short staffed so it took about 30 mins to get our charcuterie board order, but it was well worth the wait! (We kindly asked they do not add the goat cheese - I really don't like it, buehhhh) 5 stars for the board alone. My BF ordered their version of a margherita pizza, I believe it was called the red white and green. Pretty good! I ordered the Razorback, and mmmm. The drizzle of honey on the prosciutto and bacon was drool worthy. I really like sweet and salty savory flavor profiles. 5/5 They also have casamigos tequila (my favorite!) Will def be back again, even for just drinks and the shark coochie board read more

Went in on a Sunday which is happy hour all day! Nice little pizza joint with plenty of seating. We sat at the bar, ordered a couple beers, the razorback pizza and you're in charge pizza with mushroom, beef, pepperoni and garlic sauce base. Beers were great, wife said the razorback was very good especially with the honey drizzle. My pizza was ok, toppings were great, crust was a little chewy in my opinion. Also crust was a little too charred on the bottom, don't like the flavor of burnt. Then we get the bill, there is already a 3.5% credit card fee on it. Well we were paying cash, so we just deducted that amount from her tip. Maybe they should ask how you are paying before ringing you up. Will be back again to give them another shot. read more

The pizza is delicious! The Austin TX is absolutely scrumtchess - whatever BBQ sauce they use is so tasty! Freshly grated Parmesan cheese as a side topping was a nice touch.

Great pizza and always an enjoyable time with friendly service. Lots of unique pizzas to try out and also love the broccoli!

The pizza we ordered didn't come with the toppings as per the menu and our waitress didn't spend enough time making sure we had water let alone tell us they were out of hamburger that was supposed to be on the pizza not sausage. Food is definitely different from the last time we ate here. Disappointing. read more
