Dumb me I went back. Let me preface by saying I was not charged for my entree and given a coupon for a free entree. Went for lunch and had the tomato Gorgonzola soup. It is listed as a signature soup and I have had it before and loved it ( not at this location). My bowl this time was reheated brown stock Sysco beef base and probably 4 to 5 days old. No tomato , Gorgonzola , cream or basil flavor even slightly present but tons of grated Parmesan on top which I did not ask for or listed on the menu. Had the bread sticks as a appetizer but was lucky to have 1/4 cup of cheese on a medium sized pizza crust. and I did pay for them because I was hungry and did eat them. Maybe it was because a football game was on and nobody wanted to work but I don't want to pay for bad food. read more

This location: sorry, I won't go back. Inconsistent food, horrible service (had to complain twice, manager didn't do anything, had to take it up a level), crowded in the bar area to the point that people are standing literally a centimeter from your table. The "regulars" are touchy-feely (really) and obnoxious, and the bartenders really won't care about you unless you're buddies. The fire stix and bread stix are decent, but the service and environment is really not worth it. I had one of my pizzas ordered here come out right, which is sad since I've been there several times due to friends living close. If you like Farrelli's food, go to the one in Parkland, at least you have a 50/50 chance of it being a pleasant experience. read more

Yeah... just can't like this place. No matter how many tries I give them. We went inside, and just sat there. Our waitress disappeared a lot. The pizza was just moderate, nothing special in any way. I probably won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Most of my friends love this place but I just can't get into it. I can't speak to the drinks and everything else but all I know is the pizza simply isn't good to me period. Especially considering the fact that it's priced pretty high. There are a lot of other places I would choose to get pizza from when in Tacoma but maybe this is just a late night type of spot for when you're drunk on 6th Ave. read more

Service and food are always on point here! I enjoy coming to this establishment because 1. Vegan options 2. Food is awesome and 3. Servers and chefs rock! Food is always fresh and full of flavor, service is friendly and accommodating (I'm a picky one. Great establishment to just relax, grab a beer and feast on their fire Stix (with vegan cheese of course ) read more

Farrelli's Pizza - Half cheese and half Daiwa chesse - Pizza Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

we're always looking for new pizza places so friends recommended this one. It was ok, but not wonderful. the service was very slow and the servers seemed totally confused. i ordered a glass of white wine, they brought red. I said it was supposed to be white and not 5 minutes later I got the same glass of red wine back. while I like the thin crust pizza, when we went it wasn't crisp but sort of limp. Also thought it was sort of expensive for what you got. read more

We have always been curious about this place! We were served burnt lasagna, we sent it back and then we got super dry lasagna but if you added marinara sauce it was okay. White sauce Chicken Pizza Good. Waitress Excellent. Will we return- NO read more

Taking our friend to the airport, wife and I decided to try this place out before we left. We walked in and were seated fairly quickly. The bar area has a couple of pool tables and numerous TVs showing various games. We ordered two pizzas, two appetizers and a couple of beers. Food took awhile to come out, which gave us time to nurse our beers. Everything tasted great, even though we only made a small dent in our friend's mostly veggie pizza. Overall, everything was going as planned for a pleasant dining evening. Then the check came. Again, we had two pizzas, two appetizers, a side salad and two beers. Our grand total was over $100. Keep in mind, this place is located next to a college campus. It was good, don't get me wrong, but you can get the same quality stuff you get here in other restaurants for less than $100. I'd like to visit here again, but the price makes me hesitant. read more

My vegan daughter loves their pizza, with veggies and dairy-free cheese - one of the few places in Tacoma that do this. Their salads are large and delicious. read more

Great pizza! However, they have deceptive payment practices. On their in-house digital payment system, the tip amount goes from high to low as you read left to right. They also have their machines automatically set to 18%, 20%, and 25%. When you're picking up a to-go pizza, these practices put a bad taste in your mouth before you bite into a great pizza. read more

It's more like 2.5 stars. Since I now live in the DC area, I miss having those pizza places around every corner as Washington seemed to have. Unfortunately while the taste of pizzas is good, their service has SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED every single time. The staff they hire are like hooter's girls with small hooters designed to hit on the customers and neglect the ones with jobs who will actually tip 20%. I really love their salads and think the variety of pizza they offer is nifty but at what cost. How can you enjoy a meal when you're pissed off that your water glass is empty, drinks aren't done well, service slow. I went their multiple times because the food is decent but come on! Fix your wait staff! I really did struggle between my 2-3 star rating because the food is actually pretty good For the time and aggrevation, you're better off going to Safeway, getting a frozen pizza. Less taste but at least you're happy read more

I heard that the owner changed his name from Farrell to Farrelli's to make it sound more authentic. I think that sums up Farrelli's: on one hand, it's a bar and pizza parlor with pool and ESPN. On the other, their pizza is fairly expensive and yuppie. The pizza is good, I'll give it that. But the wait staff is amateur. And some of the other food on the menu is subpar. The one thing I will recommend is their happy hour. I don't remember what time it begins, but it's basically the entire night. Their drinks are super cheap, and they've got some great food (including a pizza) that's a fraction of the price. I wouldn't go there for any other reason. read more

I went for happy hour... expecting it to be a fun crowd. It was me and one other person. Haha The food was OK. The service was slow. They do have plenty of TV's to watch sports. I'm sure it would be a fun place to watch a Seahawks game. read more

This place is a staple of the 6th ave bar scene! I've been a regular here for over 5 years, showing up most Tuesdays for trivia with DJ K-Pod (Team Troll represent!). I highly recommend Farrelli's trivia. K-Pod is a true homie and he works tirelessly to craft challenging trivia with new themes every week. There are drink "specials" in between the three trivia rounds. Sometimes they're great ($5 long islands), sometimes you get $4 fireball shots (I love fireball but seriously 4 bucks for special pricing?). Always great and attentive service. Beer selection is decent. Happy hour pizzas and the $5 breadsticks are a good deal. Some people complain about the pizza pricing...I don't know much abut that because trivia winners get gift cards, and I don't play to lose. This place has lots of TVs and some pool tables, if that's your thing. Ample parking. Note: if you park underground, there are video cameras that have a live feed into the dining area so try not to embarrass yourself. read more

Good place to go and get a beer and watch the game (or check out your hot waiter/waitress). The bar side can be fun - lots of college kids and o.k. drinks. Maybe a good place to bring kids - I personally avoid the "family" side of the restaurant. Food is definitely not the best. My pizza has always been undercooked and the last (and final) time I was there the pizza was undercooked AND cold. Come on Farrelli's - turn up the oven! Kind of expensive for what you get. Ridiculous parking. Scary, dirty, rickety little elevator from the "garage" up to the restaurant. There are so many blue collars in this town...I don't understand why Tacoma can't have a GREAT pizza joint. read more

I need to come by more, but so far this place gets 5 stars. Excellent service, bartender/ bar manager is adorable (once again; if you say that doesn't matter, you are lying) and lemme just tell ya--- get the bread sticks. I think I liked them more than the pizza, but, to be fair, I had already had two lunches the day I went. That's two lunches within an hour and a half of coming to Farelli's. Good beer selection, pretty dece menu; I think next time I will try the Greek pizza and I think they had a few delicious sounding appetizers I need to get on. HH is wonderful. Avoid the F-bomb. Well, actually, depends how much you like red Powerade and, you know, getting really wasted and possibly having a nice headache the next day. Good times. read more

We love Farelli's! Our favorite pizza is the spicy sausage and pepper with the Caesar salad. We also love the ravioli bolognese! The service has always been great and the food always flavorful and fresh. read more

Super easy to order over the phone for pick-up to-go order. Parking was easy. The restaurant was clean, the staff are friendly. Pizza was great! No complaints!! read more

We had a gluten free pizza and a calzone, the crust on the gluten free pizza was similar to cardboard in both flavor and texture. The sausage wasn't Italian sausage, more of a greasy breakfast sausage. The calzone was a bit bland and doughy with similar lackluster meat. Overall taste and texture for both meals were a solid step below Papa Murphy's, which is interesting when you consider the implications of a real pizza joint falling short of take-n-bake. I would suggest avoiding this establishment if you can, with highish prices there is simply no reason to visit or go back. Similar pizza can be found at Little Caesars or the frozen food section if you simply must. read more

Great place for beer and pool. They have several locations. The place has two sides, one for families and one for bar crawling. I have yet to really experience the "family side" as I am a bar kind of person. They have 2 pool tables and plenty of televisions to watch various sports broadcasts. I recommend the cheese sticks, you can not go wrong with this menu item. After 9pm is Happy Hour (awesome) and most food becomes pretty cheap and made for an individual. They have various drink specials through out the week. My one complaint is not with this location but the one off Pacific as they tend to be slow to make your order when you come in for lunch. So plan to stay for some time if you order any food. read more

It's like eating at the Rock. Nothing special. Here's what we had: Pizza ($15)- This is normally $25, but we got a military discount. O.K. deal for $15. Totally not worth it for $25. Meat Calzone ($11)- This was actually very good. But the portion was a bit on the small side. The meal came with a small iceberg salad. It's an o.k. place to eat. I'd eat here again if my friends want to come here. Otherwise, probably not. read more

I wish these guys weren't so expensive! Other than that great food and great people. The atmosphere is towards the younger generation side which is a great thing for me considering I'm in my 20s. read more

This place is good for a laid back t-shirt and jeans date night. The pizza's ingredients taste fresh, not refrigerated. The dough is chewy and crispy at the same time. They don't skimp on the meat toppings, but I was hoping for a little more cheese. There is a fireplace and a few pool tables in the bar, so it's a perfect hangout. read more

The pizza is so good and fresh, without the grease! I came here with my boyfriend and his friends for food and drinks. Beer is beer to me and had my usual Hefe. The group split some fire sticks... um, YUM. Cheesy, spicy, delish. Did I mention they were GF? So good. Then my boyfriend and I split a half pepp&mushroom and half pineapple/mushroom. Loved it!! I'm not from Tacoma, but when I'm in town, I begging the boyfriend to take me back! YUMYUMYUM. read more

JJ is the sweetest and best server ever, Alex is tops behind the bar. Love the food and service. Love the Annie as well as the the meat eaters calzone. Highly recommended. read more

The pizza is decent but it isn't worth the price. The pizza we got tonight was $26 and had very little in the way of toppings on it. We had to dig around before we could even tell there were mushrooms on it. You could spend the same amount of money at several other pizza places in Tacoma and get a much better pizza. read more

Had a first date here and had never been. The layout for the seating is open and the waitresses are nice. I read a lot of their reviews and had always wanted to eat here, especially when I lived very close to it read more

Not a bad pizza place, but not my favorite. They have a variety of pizzas or other Italian food. Overall, good pizza. The beer selection is pretty general or you have the option of mixed drinks. The service was great, especially because we had a large group, the waitress was attentive. If on 6th ave, I would recommend a stop. read more

Overpriced pizza that is not very good. I am from the Northeast (NJ/NYC) so I am definitely pizza spoiled, but this place doesn't even come close. They have a good beer selection but overall it's never the place I want to go when we're looking to get dinner out. Unfortunately Farelli's is a "safe" choice, so groups of people we're with always want to go out there. Steer them somewhere else though - 6th Ave has many other better options! read more

They have one of the best happy hour times: 2 to 6 pm and 9 pm to close everyday plus all day Sunday. They serve Mac and Jacks and have mini pizzas for happy hour. Perfect combination. We also enjoy the awesome rewards. They offer check in deals for Yelpers. We are also members of their members club which offers some fun deals. Today, we received a free appetizer for being a member for a year. I recommend the focaccia bites with ranch instead of vinaigrette. They offer gluten free and healthier options. The bar has a nice low key vibe with TVs and other entertainment. The down sides I've experienced so far was the prosciutto on the pizza left something to be desired and the calzone was too bready for my taste and I love bread. I'd recommend trying the meatballs, spicy sausage or even pepperoni instead, depending on your preference. read more

Great place to bring kids, or to have a beer as they usually have a good selection on tap. I like the handmade pizza in the wood fired oven. It's hard to find better pizza in Tacoma. read more

I usually visit the farrelli's in frederickson, but our company was volunteering in the local area to repair a home for homeowner who could not afford the repairs herself. I called Madison's store to see if she'd be willing to donate food for this event. Without hesitation she offered to feed our crew of about 20. Not only do they have great food (the James favorite is my favorite), but they were incredibly generous for this event in their community. Keep up the great work. And thanks again! read more

We ordered the Northwestern Traditional pizza and it was amazing! The sausage and pepperoni combo with the sweet honey sauce made for a perfect match! We went on Monday evening and sat down right away. Service was good and the pizza was fairly quick too! read more

So Fresh and So good. our pizza was take out and it even traveled well and warmed up nicely in the one once we got home.

I am a tough cookie when it comes to pizza... My partner is not. We had driven by the place a week or so ago and decided to stop in prior to going to zoo lights. My wisdom for you on that is avoid zoo lights waste of time and money. Anyway... We accidentally arrived during happy hour and thought the choices for happy hour were extensive. We ordered a 12 inch half pepperoni/half cheese and a large pecan cranberry blue cheese salad. The salad was great and very filling... I would order it again... All of the salad descriptions sounded great. The pizza came to the table piping hot but lacking the cheese to dough ratio I appreciate. I can't stand it when you can see blobs of sauce through the scant clouds of cheese. I don't know if there is an extra cheese option. Our little guy loved playing with dough ball... Nice touch. There is free parking in a very small small ceilinged deck under the restaurant. read more

A couple decent apps. Only one of our three pizzas was good, though. Spent over $100 on mediocre food for three people. Not impressed. Employees were nice and service was prompt. Just a lot of money for okay food. Italian soda was good! read more

Easily a four star. The service time and quality has always been reasonable, even the last visit. We enjoyed our pizza, our waiter and even our bill! yes the bill too can be enjoyable considering the cost for a whole pizza, appatizer, drinks, desert and friendly service :D read more

It's a great spot to grab some pizza and a few drinks with friends! I never leave unsatisfied. The pizza was average nothing that really blew my socks off. The crust is flimsy and all of the toppings kind of just fall off one by one. However I did thoroughly enjoy their spinach artichoke and crab dip. I like their HH! read more

See all

Typical american italian joint. Decent pizza, wood fired i believe. Love their Spicy sausage mac abd cheese. Ask for some dough for the kids to play with read more

Ordered the hand-tossed Very Veggie and Cheese pizza with ricotta and small house salad. All the food was fresh and had great flavor. Needed to remind them about the ricotta, but that is all good. Service and price points were on mark. Clean and lots of fun on trivia night, Thurs. Good family place and couples place. read more
