Called to place an order and was told if using a card we would have to order online. No problem. Ordered online and received a confirmation that the order went through. We were told that our order would be an hour or so which is totally fine and what we expected. After an hour and a half we called to check on our order and we were told that our order had a technical issue and the order didn't go through. The person asked if we would like to reorder and we asked if it would be done any faster and were told it would be at least another hour. read more

Totally rude - not only would they NOT deliver to a place 8 blocks from their "cut off point" - for an additional $25 (Offered) - they wouldn't give me a recommendation of an alternative pizza joint. Told the guy my situation - and he basically said "screw you and hung up". Go with a Mona's House - Tiffany was much more sweet! http://www.monapizzaandpasta.com/delivery.shtml read more

The close at 10 I arrived ten minutes after 9 and the whole menu wasn't available seems unreasonable.

Best pizza in Tacoma, no comparison. Nothing even close to the same category. If you go during peak times, be prepared to have a couple pints of Rainier, and watch whatever game is on while you wait. You will wait. But you won't care. I've never gone here and not ordered the Larsen (Sausage, bacon, hot yellow peppers). It is the best. So unique. Always order the smaller of the two sizes, it comes out crispier than the large. If there are two people in your party, order two, so you have leftovers of two types of pizza. You will love the Cloverleaf. read more

I ordered it up and it arrived luke warm at best, and tossed all over the box like the driver was hitting corners at 60. I called to talk to someone about it, and a 'Jeremy' answered. Rude, and did not want to hear or help anything. The pizza could have been better, but the service? Not even close. So much so that I created this Yelp profile to address this issue. Pizza Hut is a massive upgrade from these guys. read more

I'm from New York and when I moved out here I wanted to find a place that made real New York style pizza - giant, foldable slices dripping with grease, real Italian marinara, and bubbling, slightly browned cheese on top. It's been almost 20 years and I'm still looking. Cloverleaf pizza is good, not great. The flavors are fine and the crust is nice and thin. But the "Huge" size pie is not huge by any definition, and the crust is baked so it's stiff (though by no means overdone), not flexible. My favorite in this area is still Tutta Bella in Seattle. They make genuine Neapolitan pizza, and while it's not New York style, it's the best I've had here in WA. Cloverleaf is good if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip for it. read more

This place has a really cool history if you take the time to look at it. Not to mention, it has quite possibly the best tasting pizza I've ever had. The crust is crispy and not too thick or too thin.. The sauce/cheese ratio is perfect. By the time you sink your teeth into the cheesy goodness, you get a nice crunchy surprise. They also have this dill-ranch that is phenomenal. I'm kind of a self proclaimed "ranch whore", and I vote this amazing. The atmosphere is fun. They have pub-like popcorn given to you when you sit down. Also, they have different sporting events on on their various big screen TV's. Many beers are on tap, also I see a lot of people that drink wine and soda as well. There is a nice mix of people that show up there. From people my age to people that I would guess were 80 years young. There are no words for this place other than "seriously yummmmmmy". read more

As great as the pizza was and I will given credit for comping the meal, after being told an hour and a half for delivery (on a Friday night during the huskies game which is understandable) my roommates and I began to get frustrated at the 1 hour and 45 mark and called only to be told they tried coming to the door and calling (they didn't, they said they tried the apartments, we live in a house so there was no apartment number given) and they just sent the driver out again, twenty minutes and another phone call later with an employee who gave off a no-shits-given attitude, once the driver showed we were on the porch and he just came up not saying a word and nelt down and dropped the pizza on the porch and turned around and proceeded to walk to his car. All in all not a good experience and I've had others similar to this. read more

This is my favorite pizza place! Always get the O'Brien with pepperoni. Yes, the pizza takes 40-50 minutes to come out, but it is worth it. The crust is the best part. Super crispy and delicious. Sure, it looks like a dive bar and some people don't like that, but the pizza is always tasty. read more

Omg, it took almost 40 minutes to get a sandwich and personal pizza during the afternoon with. Extra to no one there. This place has good pizza but I get frustrated with how they treat small orders. But the price of wine is totally a good deal. read more

I was introduced to The Leaf years ago... It quickly became my go to joint for Pizza. Sure, the wait may be longer than you would like but that's what beer and bowls of popcorn are for right? My favorite is the "Monster" and frankly I don't think I will ever order anything else when I go here. Moved to Virginia a couple years ago and my quest for a replacement has been met with nothing but disappointment. Every time I go back to visit family and friends in the area I make a run to the Leaf for dinner. In fact, it is already scheduled for next Thursday! read more

My company had a dinner-get-together-and-eat-pizza-and-drink-beer shindig not too long ago here and I thought it was pretty good. The pizza is different because its like a mix between crunchy thin crust and pan. At first I wasn't sure how I would like this combo but they seemed to make it work because the flavors were really good. Service was fast and friendly which is always a good thing and the pizzas were pretty large in size. read more

Love the Larsen pizza! Any pizza! Good cold beer. Great service. Plus, a bowl of popcorn while pizza cooks.

People are huge fans of this place. They love it. They rave about it. They actually eat here. I have been three times and I am still not set. First time I had some beer, salad and pizza and it did not do too much for me...beyond mozzarella cheese on the salad. The next two times I came in I won a over two hundred dollars on pull tabs. The pizza is not bad, the beer is cold, but winning money. Well, that's money. I won't avoid this place, but I won't go out of my way to dine here. It is there and is is okay and I am cool with it. read more

I love the Cloverleaf. I had a Groupon and my boyfriend and I went to check it out since he had never had it, and it had been years since I had been there. I did exactly what all you Yelpers suggested, and checked the menu online and phoned in my order before I left. Our pizza was ready when we got there, and most important it was delicious. My boyfriend ate all but 3 pieces of the large pizza and would have finished it if I hadn't said something. The drink prices are very reasonable, and the staff was friendly. We went on a weeknight and it wasn't too packed, and there is a seperate family friendly area for the kiddos or the bar to sit in. There is even a little patio to sit on. I went in for the Groupon, but it definately got moved to my list of regular places to go. Thanks Cloverleaf, your pride shows in everything you do. read more

My FAVORITE pizza, ever. Period. There is something about the peperoni, sausage, and breakfast bacon, that makes you want to swoon. It's delicious, albeit greasy, and makes you very happy when you're full afterwards. -1 star for the absolutely crappy beer selection and no hard alcohol. read more

WOW!!! We have a pizza joint in North Tacoma that makes wonderful pizza. They have dine in (90% of the time the service is great), take out and delivery. The last 3 times we ordered delivery, the pie was cool, soggy and sticking to the paper on the bottom. At $27 plus tip per pizza, I had enough and called Zac who was the manager at this time. He was full of excuses to the point of acting like it was my fault because I ordered ingredients that "don't do well when they sit in a box for a long time", also they cannot guarantee any pizza be crispy when it is delivered. I was given the option to have another pie delivered or get a refund. Zac was very rude throughout the conversation with his attitude and slight comments, and acted like I was nothing but an annoyance to him. Did I mention that I am the client? Customers are the reason he has a paycheck? I told him I wanted a refund mainly because of his rudeness. To be honest, I didn't even expect anything, just to have him understand that I was frustrated and hope he would do better the next time. With that, he explained I needed to have the pizza ready for the delivery guy to pick it back up. Yes, you heard right. He wanted his disgusting pie back. Okay, no problem. 15 minutes after my pathetic conversation with Zac, he had the delivery guy call me and tell me they can't give me a refund. They can only comp with another pie or send another one out (NOT). I thought it was just another example of Zac's unprofessionalism when he couldn't even talk to me. He had the delivery man call me. If I owned this business, Zac would be out of a job because no client should be treated like they are an irritation and aren't worth the time for a conversation about the quality of my company's product. Fortunately Zac does not own the company. And I will have a conversation with the owner. The pizzas at Cloverleaf are wonderful and on the whole, my family has had good service. The pizzas at Cloverleaf are very good and a lot of flavors. Definitely worth a try. read more

Best pizza in town. We had a party there in the banquet room and they were spot on. Party for 50 and the food came out exactly when scheduled and delish as always. Amazing staff read more

cloverleaf is a unique pizza, adored by many locals while others just don't see the fuss. i'm somewhere in between. it's a serviceable pizza, like what i imagine they served in a bar in the pacific northwest in the 30s. start with a bland yet crispy-to-the-point-of-cutting-sharp crust made out of something like bisquick, covered in a spicy, oregano and tomato paste-heavy sauce, then your standard toppings. remember the pizza in your elementary school cafeteria? ever make pizza from a little box? cloverleaf is better than those, but competing for all the same awards. REPLY TO DEBORA B.: i'm from tacoma and have been to your tavern many times. i think my description of your pizza was accurate, and i didn't say it was bad. just peculiar, and not my favorite (for the reasons mentioned in my description). i've had a lot of pizza, from nyc to naples, and yours is so far off the scale of standard pizza that it really shouldn't even be compared. however, since you call it pizza, i have to judge it next to all the great pizza i've had. and, sorry to say, it just doesn't hold a candle to the real deal. read more

Great dive bar and Tacoma institution! Their pizza takes a while but it's got great scratch made crust! There's also a family section that I've never sat in, but looks like a fun family place for after a soccer game. read more

Probably some of the worst pizza I've ever had. Crust was similar to over cooked cardboard and overall zero flavor on pizza! Service was not bad but did have to ask for refills 3 times. When the whole family says "Even little Caesars is better" it makes for a forgettable experience. read more

Don L. Despite living nearby since 2000 I have only visited Cloverleaf twice but it was outstanding each time and I know I'll be back-not sure what the negative reviews are about. First of all I appreciate that this is not a chain and I think it shows in the final product and in the service. If you judge a pizza place by how much it costs compared to Little Caesars or Dominos then that is such a narrow view and unfortunately is a reflection of far too many Yelp reviews in general and how unrealistic they are. I loved the trademark crispy crust on my Larsen (with added pineapple) and the freshness and quality of the generous toppings was unmistakable. I am also a fan of the relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Thank you for the delicious pizza and for giving us West Tacomans something to brag about! read more

Our experience mirrored everyone else's (5-stars to my fellow yelpers for being right, as usual). We found ourselves in the "family section" -- not the quietest place, but not a pit either. The pizza took a long time to arrive but it was generally good -- quite good for what you'd expect from a bar. And, as Tasha said, the beer selection is kinda lacking. So, to recap: yelpers: 5 Stars. Cloverleaf: 3 stars. read more

I wish you could sort out anyone not from the NY area or Chicago when looking at pizza reviews on here. This is NOT a pizza place (it's a bar) and this pizza is NOT New York style pizza. Just because it has a thin crust, doesn't mean it is New York style. I'm a little unsure this pizza fits a particular style, but whatever it is they have here is actually very tasty. The crust is unlike anything I've ever tried. It is thin and crispy and, in many ways, more like a crunchy yet chewy cracker than a pizza. The sauce is pretty good, which makes the overall flavor pop. There is no ambience and the service was fine. People on here complain it takes too long to make, but that's just because the pizza needs to cook much, much longer than a normal pizza. I think it's the crust. However, you can call ahead if you don't want to wait, so it isn't a problem. At any rate, I'd rather have a good NY pizza any day over this, but Tacoma is a long way from NY and I'd rather have this than a lot of other non-NY pizzas. I'll be back. read more

Best pizza EVER! Crispy, thin, flakey, toppings and cheese to the edge kind of pizza! Cold beer, t.v.'s for the games! It gets busy and pizzas can take a lil' bit cause hey... you don't wanna rush perfection! Also, you can call ahead and order your pizza so that when you get there... BAM, pizza! read more

Tried this place with the wife because it is on the "Friends of Flannigan" website. http://fof.menubee.org/ I know nothing of his politics but this man sure knows his food. Although not my preferred style of pizza, this was another good suggestion. The place looks like a real dive though (so if this is a problem for you, move on)...full of tough looking people...or people who look like they are about to gamble away their last dollar on the table slots... But if you can get past that, the pizza is pretty interesting. We got the "Huge" size, Turco pizza which is a meatlover...your basic pepperoni, bacon, hamburger, sausage combo. The pizza took a while to get which was aggravating considering we were starving and about to eat our own paw, but once it came out, it was smolderingly hot. The cheese was bubbling. The meats were sizzling. The sauce was tasty. The crust was unusually crisp yet thick. read more

Tonight was my first time there, and I had a great experience. Sat in the family cavern. As soon as I walked in, I was awash in nostalgia. The smell (pizza, a good smell). The lighting. The video games. I felt right at home, and about 8 years old. Having been warned about slowness, called in the pizza order ahead of time. (The guy on the phone was nice.) It was on our table 10 minutes after arrival, too soon to finish the popcorn that came to the table first. (Bliss!!) The pizza was really good--crispy thin crust, nicely browned cheese on the edges. Plentiful toppings. $2 mug of rootbeer and a free refill. The service was friendly. Some kid kept bringing my daughter stuffed animals he won from the toy claw machine. Overall, really swell. Maybe next time they'll be slow and mean to us? We'll definitely give them the chance. read more

Cloverleaf, I love you. Please don't ever change a thing! The pizza here is hands down my favorite pie I've ever had, and I'm not even exaggerating. If anyone ever suggests pizza, Cloverleaf is my go-to. The sauce is great, not overly rich, not runny and wimpy... the toppings are REAL, almost excessive, and CHUNKY... the crust is a uniquely thin, almost cracker like style instead of gigantic thick bread (personally, I prefer thin crusts pizzas anyway).. the sizes are perfect - you can go big if you're starving, or get just enough to share with another person.. the cheese is plentiful and not generic tasting.. ... and to top it all off... ALL MEAT PIZZA. with huge chunks of real meat! I'm in heaven! Oh, and plan on calling ahead. The pizzas take a good 30-45 minutes. If you have time to kill though, hang out and have a beer or play some pool while you wait. read more

Food wasn't that great. Didnt have a lot of flavor. The garlic bread stick I'm pretty sure are from Costco and the just melted cheese on them. Be prepared to wait about 30 minutes for the pizza to come out read more

First time here. Went during lunch and was surprised it was busy. You can sit anywhere you want. We ordered the deep fried zucchini and the Turco pizza. Both came out in a timely manner. The zucchini was ok but the pizza was phenomenal. Never had a pizza like that. The crust was superb. Will definitely be coming back. And next time I will not be sharing. read more

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY! I came to get a pizza here with my family after reading good things about the place. Unfortunately, upon entering we were told that since my five year old son and infant daughter were with us, that we had to leave and come back at 5pm to eat in the "family friendly" dining room. I mean really? We came for lunch at about 11:45am on a Tuesday and were kicked out for having children. AT NOON ON A TUESDAY. I'll never be back to this place and will spend my money somewhere else that appreciates families. EDIT: In response to the owner, this place should be advertised for what it actually is, a bar/tavern that serves pizza, not a "pizza restaurant". Your hours and age restrictions don't support the idea that this is a normal pizza restaurant. Call it what it is. A 21 and older BAR. read more

The chicken pizza was good. The place was packed, so with only 2 servers the service was a slow but that was expected with the full house for the Seahawks game. Has quickly become a go to hang out. read more

The Cloverleaf - Mac & Jack's - Pizza Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Another neighborhood favorite! Best pizza we have found in the UP/Lakewood/Tacoma Area. The serve free popcorn when you arrive and the beer is cold! They have a good selection of sports on TV if you enjoy watching a game while enjoying your food! read more

Well, this was an experience. I would give 3.5 stars if I could. We had the cheeseburger pizza, cheese, pepparoni and Hawaiian. Plus the cheesy bread app. The cheesy bread was amaze, we all wished we ordered two plates of it. The pizzas had great flavor and this crazy addictive completely crispy crust - I've never had anything like it ever. The closest I can think of is maybe a tostinos pizza (you know, like from a box) but that doesn't really come close to describing the crazy crispyness of the crust. 100% craving it, already. The cheese, pepparoni and Hawaiian were just okay. Sorta skimpy on flavor and toppings. The cheeseburger was pretty good. I would order that again no problem. And, I'll go back to try other flavors based on the crispy crust! This place is a bar, but they have a back room for families so that's what we were and that's where we sat. We didn't get alcohol drinks at all. Atmosphere: Abandoned kids party room, dirty, bland and not very inviting. You get stale popcorn as a free appy. There was a worker filling to go cups of parmesan sitting back there. Food: medium size pizza for 16 bucks - priced a little high IMO. We won't be back for awhile because of this. Flavors a mixed bag, some amazing some just ok. Price: pretty steep for what you get. You aren't walking out with leftovers. Service: our waitresses as friendly as a southern belle and just as annoying. My son asked if she had sauce and she said "no, we only have one sauce" and acted like she couldn't figure out he meant..... Ranch. She did other minor annoying things, it was like having an aunt you don't like ask you about your sex life. Awkward. read more

We and our neighbors have been a fan for over 20 years. Recently the quality of the food Is horrific. We order two pizza's when we had family over. The meat pizza was burned on the top and the crust was like soggy soda crackers. The Margarita pizza was horrible. The cheese was the worst ever. They sprinkled freezer dried basil on it. Or guest had about one bite and no one finished it. They both went into the trash. They either need to hire new cooks or just go back to serving drinks. My neighbors had the same experience, they took theirs back but the next one was not any better. read more

This is definitely some of the worst service I've ever had. So bad, in fact, that I've never actually been able to try their pizza! The first time my husband and I tried, we had out toddler with us. We walked in and were told in no uncertain terms to leave. It was the middle of the day. Apparently they're a bar during the day. We weren't even allowed to order take out while one of waited in the car with our toddler. Then we tried again tonight, for delivery this time. The first time I called, the guy on the phone wouldn't talk to me until I called back from an "unblocked" number. I was calling from my cell phone, which I don't have number blocking on. Luckily I was at home, so used my house phone. Then we went through the rigamarole of name, phone number, address and he asked me if I wanted it delivered. Apparently, I'm outside of their delivery area, despite being only 4 miles from the restaurant. After that I was done. Three strikes, you're out, Cloverleaf. From the reviews I've read, it seems this service is typical, so I'm not sorry. We won't be trying again. We'll stick with Sammy's. read more

Again unbelievable, owner Debbie stopped by our usual table an asked how things were going, we said as usual 'Awesome', absolutely love this place!!! Cold cold beers is carrot Friday morning getting through the work day knowing we are coming here! read more

The Cloverleaf - Pizza Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

THE best pizza with THE worst service. Have had several horrible incidents with staff. They are not friendly or efficient. One delivery almost resulted in a call to 911 after a scarey 15 minute incident and 2 calls to Cloverleaf. I can't deny that the pizza is good, but they have some severe issues with getting quality staff. read more

This pizza, or should i say tavern, presents the apex of pizza, an institution to the locals running over forty years... New York style, Chicago style, have nothing in comparison. My major concern, is that posting the perfection of pizza, people will overrun the tavern... but knowing the staff... you will wait just as long as everyone else... and be happy that you did. I have traveled up from California just for this pizza... the dough is thin, but like a sponge for all the greasy goodness that tops it... sausage mushroom is my favorite, but double pepperoni, pepprocini, pineapple is a great pizza. sounds crazy, but it works... it was created by my friend Pete... thus the name... "Pete"s pie". tip the bartender... Sam read more

Pizza here takes about 45 minutes (or longer if it's a weekend) but it's worth the wait on every level. Know this going on, order the pizza and a beer, expect a crappy ambiance and worse service. Just make sure the pizza is warm and the beer is cold and you will enter a food coma of heaven after you get done eating!! read more
