Unique Pies and Fusion Flavors

If you're looking to branch out beyond the typical and expected, these pizza spots will not disappoint.

Rodaja Tandoori

Indian meets Italian at Tandoori Slice in Des Moines. With toppings like chicken tikka and butter paneer, the made-to-order pies at this family-owned spot will forever change how you think about pizza. It's also one of the best places to find vegan and vegetarian options, like the spicy tandoori tofu. The restaurant is quaint and cozy, so pair your pie with a specialty cocktail from the bar and take your time savoring each slice.

Pizza Locas

You've never had a pie like the pies at Pizza Locas in Des Moines. This nondescript food trailer, run by two brothers, captured the heart of a food writer for The Seattle Times, who raved about its wood-fired pies and Mexican-inspired toppings. Expand your horizons with a carne asada pizza with a salsa verde base, or a crazy flavorful Mexican corn pizza with cotija (cheese) with a light layer of mayo and a sprinkling of Hot Cheetos dust.

Barakat Pizza & Bakery

Barakat Pizza & Bakery, on the border of Des Moines and SeaTac, offers both classic pizzas and specialty baked goods. One of the standout menu items (pictured here) is Turkish Pide, a boat-shaped baked good often referred to as "Turkish pizza". Filled with seasoned meat, cheese, and tomato, it's packed with flavor and large enough to feed two or three people. Does this qualify as pizza? We vote yes (but if you disagree, there are traditional options like pepperoni and margherita). While there is a small amount of indoor seating, this is primarily a takeout spot. But if you want something delicious delivered to your home, event, or hotel room, we recommend trying it out!

Hora de la pizza

If you need a quick slice on your way in and out of SEA Airport, a late-night bite delivered to your hotel, or a pie for a picnic at Angle Lake Park, Pizza Time in SeaTac is the way to go. Part of a local chain, this unassuming spot has been going strong for more than two decades. It's consistently praised for its crisp, chewy crust, generous toppings, and speedy, friendly service. Build your own pizza, or try one of the specialty flavors like the Sweet & Spicy, featuring jalapeños, pineapple, and a mango habañero drizzle, or the Indian-inspired Tandoori Pizza.

Classics

These local favorites offer classic pies you can depend on.

via Marina

If you're looking for a full-service restaurant with gourmet food but a neighborhood feel, you can't beat via Marina in downtown Des Moines. This local favorite specializes in authentic, wood-fired Neopolitan pies. People rave about the perfectly balanced sauces and chewy crust. While pizza is the star of the show, the pasta, salad, and dessert menu are certainly worth exploring.

More reasons to love it: indoor and outdoor seating, ample parking, and a full bar.

Pub y pizzería Ulises

Ulysses Pub & Pizzeria is a beloved local sports bar that's been around since 1978. It's very close to SEA Airport, making it a popular stop for travelers on their way in and out of town. Their Santorini pizza, featuring chicken breast, feta, olives, artichoke hearts, and onions, is like a little taste of Greece in pizza form!

The inside has a fun sports bar vibe, with darts and TVs playing all the major games. Out back, there's a patio with ample outdoor seating and even some yard games.

Restaurante y Cervecería BJ's

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse es una cadena muy querida por una razón, desde sus grandes comidas a su sabrosa selección de alimentos, con, por supuesto, ¡pizza! BJ's tiene un montón de pizzas fantásticas, incluyendo pizza de plato hondo, pizza de corte de taberna de masa fina, ¡e incluso pizzas sin gluten! Pero la verdadera especialidad en pizzas de BJ's es el famoso Pizookie, una galleta o brownie recién horneado con helado por encima, un postre indulgente que es lo suficientemente grande como para compartir, pero lo suficientemente sabroso como para que no quieras hacerlo.

Bar deportivo All-Star

All-Star Sports Bar in Des Moines is a great place to catch the game, relax, and throw some darts. Beyond being a great bar, All-Star also offers fantastic pizza! Get their 12th Man pizza, featuring pepperoni, chicken, beef, and pickled jalapeño peppers, for a rich, hearty way to celebrate a Seahawks game.

Atenas Pizza y Pasta

Aunque su nombre pueda indicar comida griega, Athens Pizza and Pasta ofrece un completo recorrido culinario por el Mediterráneo. Su oferta de pizzas es fresca y deliciosa, con pizzas al gusto y combinaciones como la Spartan Special, con queso feta, aceitunas, cebollas, pimientos y tomates frescos.

Stevie's Famous

Stevie's Famous in Burien was crowned the best pizza in Seattle by The Seattle Times in 2024, and it's easy to see why. The signature Normie features coppa (a cured meat similar to prosciutto), burrata (soft, rich cheese), and a drizzle of hot honey served on a housemade sourdough base. It's unexpected and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. As a bonus, this spot also serves house-made ice cream, beer, and wine: all the makings of a great night out.

Restaurante Bullwinkle's en el Family Fun Center

Cuenca FC

After a long day playing soccer at Starfire Sports, you can recharge and reenergize at Watershed FC. The hand-tossed pizzas are delicious, and you can build your own or pick from classic combinations—either way, you're in for a tasty slice. Pair your pie with one of their fresh salads for a complete meal. There's also beer and cider for adults.
