After a day of household chores, my husband Dan and I headed to 6^th Ave for an adventure for our 30-year dating anniversary! Dan is a lover of Pizza (like no other) SO, as we passed Tacoma Pie – I suggested we stop in. 

From the moment we walked in we were enamored with the live edge wooden table AND the small back-bar reminiscent of our trip to Italy. At the end of the bar was the owner, Dino. Dino or Deano (Dean Shivers) was both knowledgeable and passionate as we asked many questions about him and his business. 

This style of Pizza is Detroit, where the burnt cheese becomes part of the crust. Cooked in a special deep dish pan that allows the cheese to bubble out to the very edge, the crust is light, airy and oh-so tasty. But if you want just a slice, you order it “Granmma Style” which we did. Fresh ingredients, perfection in foundation, and delicious sauce made us BIG fans! 

Deano is no novice to the restaurant scene. He is an accomplished chef and restaurant professional. He has created a mix of Detroit, Sicily, Golden Boy / San Francisco, and family secret recipes to create a wonderfully unique pie experience. The menu has seasonal special pies with everything from puttanesca to braised pork. Take out or dine in (did we tell you about the authentic Bocce Ball Beer Garden?). Don’t sleep on this one! 

Enjoy this Tacoma Pie Original.
