Pizzas are good; horrible staff from how they treat there delivery drivers I came to get my food heard it was over a hr wait for them which is crazy. Very rude staff.Wings are meh a bit pricey . Good for a local place but it's a hit or miss depending on the day. read more

Another great pizza night for our family. We had the DTR with pear, Spicy Monkey with pepperoni & the Swinging delux delight with sausage. Everything was delicious and delivered earlier than expected. Easy to place our order online. Wish I would have taken pictures of the pizzas but the family devoured it too fast. read more

Smoking Monkey Pizza - Super cute pizza boxes - Pizza Near Me - Renton, Washington

We happened to walk by on our way to the farmer's market and noticed they were celebrating their 11th anniversary to decided to stop in to support. We got free loaded fries (more on that later), and since all pizzas were BOGO, we got two pizzas. Their menu is huge! I was a little overwhelmed with all their options, and ended up getting what we were familiar with - a meat heavy one, and a combination. We walked around the farmer's market and when we came back, our order was ready. We brought the pizzas and fries home to eat, and sadly were a bit disappointed.. especially in the loaded fries. They were just regular fries. There was nothing "loaded" about them except some sweet sauce drizzled on? See photo. I wouldn't recommend getting them unless you just want sweet, normal fries. As for the pizzas, they were fine. There was a good amount of toppings which I like. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for pretty average pizza though. Other than that, customer service was great - the workers were friendly and our food was ready when we expected it to be. read more

I've tried to give Smoking Monkey Pizza a fair chance, but after my third incorrect order, I'm giving up on this spot. Pizza is too expensive these days to risk getting something completely different from what you ordered. This time, I placed a "build your own" pizza order with cheese, marinara, ground beef, red onions, black olives, and lettuce on top. What I received instead was cheese, sausage, Mama's peppers, red onions, ham, and lettuce. For me, this was inedible--and it was especially disappointing because I was really looking forward to the pizza I had carefully selected. I've called in about mistakes before, but the response has always felt like an interrogation, as if I must have entered the order wrong. I have my order receipt and can see that's not the case. At $27 for a small pizza (with tax and tip for takeout), accuracy matters. To make things worse, the pizza wasn't ready at the suggested pickup time. The restaurant was empty when I arrived, so I assume they were busy with deliveries or other orders. I didn't mind waiting, but there was no offer for a drink or any small accommodation while I waited. I used to frequent the previous business in this same location (with the same pizza oven) for years and always enjoyed it. Smoking Monkey's pizza is just "okay" by comparison, and after multiple mistakes, I won't be coming back--unless my kids beg for it. But truthfully, even they now prefer the neighborhood alternative over this place. I'm writing this review not to be harsh, but because I think details matter--especially when customers are paying premium prices. I hope they take this as constructive feedback and put more care into their orders. read more

After a recommendation from some friends, I decided to give this place a try. I opted for one of their all meat 21 inch pies. Undercarriage of the pizza was perfectly done and the toppings were generous on a very well-made pizza. Easy to find parking nearby. This was a great option for us and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Beware of ordering pizza delivery. I placed an order & received confirmation. A bit later got text pizza was out for delivery. It never arrived. When I finally was able to reach the restaurant by phone, the woman said they were really busy so they did not make my order. She would have to cancel it. My debit card was charged $70, no refund. Numerous unanswered calls, emails & hassles with my bank. Despite assurances still no refund. A total ripoff. I get it's a small business but certainly a few months is enough time to resolve? Will never eat there again. read more

This was a great take out dinner after a long day. It wasn't too greasy and extremely filling. I am looking forward to having some more for left overs tomorrow. read more

Smoking Monkey Pizza - Feta Fiesta Urban Pizza & Chimp's Cheese Sticks - Pizza Near Me - Renton, Washington

Decent pizza, interesting flavors, expensive After years of ordering, I think we've ever only got our order on time once. We joke about ordering it for pick up when our flight lands because we'll still have enough time to deplane, get our checked bags, walk to the parking lot, drive to Renton, and still wait 5 mins for the order. Also the small cauliflower vs regular size is just a different tin but same quantity.... read more

I love their pizza! The pepperonis are the good little ones that curl up when cooked. I also love their ranch. They have decent salads, pasta, and dessert too. I usually order through the Slice app. The only thing that is frustrating is that delivery is always an hour longer than what the app quotes. But I've come to expect that and factor that in. Always friendly delivery drivers. read more

We had pizza delivered and a large salad. The salad was definitely not a large salad. It probably wasn't even a cup of lettuce. And the pizzas were bone cold they're supposed to be here at six. They showed up at 6:37. The pepperoni isn't even cooked all the way through the cheese is literally not melted through the whole middle of it We have eaten here several times and never had these issues before, but for $100 something has to change read more

Easy ordering system by the slice, wanted a carnivore and veggie type of slice and they told us they use a base pizza and add on the toppings when the slice is ordered. It's pretty hot temperature wise in here, so definitely sweating while I wait for pizza. Said it was about a 10 minute wait when ordering a slice, but expect more like a 20min wait. Slices are a pretty good size! Barbarian: pepperoni, sausage, bacon, salami. Totally worth it for all the meat that's piled high on top! I like having a bite of meat, then crust, then veggie pizza to balance out the saltiness Margarita: The margarita looks more non-traditional with a thick layer of marinara sauce, globs of mozz, and shredded basil, has a bunch of Italian seasoning on the top read more

Yummmmy! This place makes good pizza and Italian style food. Good variety! Nice homemade ranch. I have ordered delivery from them but never stopped by. I definitely will one day. The food itself is super good! read more

I've ordered from here twice, both times they screwed up the order. Plenty of other pizza places in the area. Order somewhere else.

Best restaurant in Renton my ass. 3 times we have ordered because we have heard how "good" their pizza is and 3 times they have screwed it up or "lost" the order. They refuse to compensate their customers for their mistakes. I will never order from this place again. read more

Ordered pizza for work on October 9th. Was slated to be delivered between 12:12pm-12:22pm. Our lunch break is 12:30-1. I started calling around 12:40pm and was told it would be there soon. Pizza finally arrived around 1:40pm and it was cold. Called the store and the manager apologized and promised a full refund. It is now October 28th and I haven't received my refund. I've called every week asking and he always tells me he will issue it that day. As of today they will no longer accept my phone calls (they must have caller ID). I understand things happen and mistakes were made (delivery) and I'm totally accepting of that. But what happened after the manager promised a refund is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I hope whoever reads this takes their customer service into account before giving their money to this establishment. They don't care about you, only your money. UPDATE: On 10/30 I was in the area so I stopped in and asked for my refund in person. The guy working there (main character in their Facebook videos) told me they don't keep cash in the till and asked me to write down my number so he can Zelle it to me later. I respectfully declined, and after that he opened up the till gave me a full refund in cash. The cash he JUST told me they don't keep on hand. Nothing but liars at this place. read more

We ordered the spaghetti and a Caesar salad through DoorDash. The order arrived completely smooshed. Obviously the DoorDash driver has something to do with this, but if the restaurant did better with packing, this may not have been an issue. On to the food... the spaghetti was absolutely horrible. I would complain about the tiny portion size but because it was so awful I did not want anymore. $30 for cold, bland spaghetti that taste like it's from a can, and a pathetic Caesar salad, what a rip off! I guess this is the price you pay for ordering spaghetti from a pizza restaurant?- never again read more

My friends brought two boxes over on a Saturday night and they were decent. Crust wasnt very fluffy as I had hoped and was dry. The flavor of the pizzas were good though. They ordered the Chaos Chicken and the Maximillian. The favorite was the Chaos Chicken because of how generous with the bbq they put and noted by one of my friends, it cohesively tasted the best. Each pizza had a decent amount of toppings, especially the Maximillian. Overall, will come back and give them another try. Despite the crust, I am interested to try the other pizza flavors. read more

Pizza is good but prices are way too expensive. Over $20 for a 6 slice cheese pizza?!

Not like many other pizza places with similar flavors. My mouth was introduced to a new tasty pizza flavor experience. Extended and great menu. Cauliflower , plain wings and jalapeño cigars are good extra good with their home made dipping sauce. Definitely ordering again. Peeps need to stop complaining for the $$$$ I that stick to little Cesar's . read more

One pizza's bottom was burnt. Another pizza was dried out and looked like it had been sitting out all day

So so disappointing. We came here for my daughters birthday after not having ordered from Smoking Monkeh in about a year. Turns out the company was sold last year and now its absolutely disappointing. The only good thing about it was that the pepperoni pizza was smothered in pepperoni. Our other pizza we got, the Pasta pizza, was so oily and it had absolutely no flavor it was inedible. The cesar salad, although the dressing was okay, the lettuce to crouton ratio was definitely 50:50, if not more croutons than salad, for both salads! Mocktail drink was good if it wasn't 3/4 ice in a 16oz glass for 9$. Will not return. I miss the old one and their cookies! read more

This is the first time I used your website for delivery and it went really well. I got the Blazed Bacon Cheese Sticks and the Monkey King's Feast (Barbarian) pizza The delivery was so quick; I couldn't believe it!! You guys have some of the best pizza I've had since I've left Chicago. Don't know if you know this but native Chicagoans eat thin crust pizza regularly and not the deep dish that everybody thinks is "Chicago pizza." We call that tourist pizza and only have it for special occasions and out of town guest who come to visit and want it. Natives of the Windy City eat thin crust pizza cut tavern style usually. For me to cut isn't as important as the thinnest of the crust with the right amount of sauce, cheese and toppings. You're the second place I found in the Seattle area that comes to as close to what I like in thin crust pizza and have been searching for since I moved here 39 years ago. You're definitely going to be my go-to for pizza. Everything arrived as ordered and still nice and hot. This was a great delivery! read more

Take all my money, take it all. This food is STUPID good and you're an idiot to not eat here. The service was phenomenal, beyond amazing. The place is so good, gate keep good. I don't tell anyone about this place but I'll tell you guys. read more

I don't know what happened to this place. Years ago it was a wonderful restaurant with a fun atmosphere, fabulous servers and great food. Today was the total opposite. Mediocre over-priced pizza, skimpy little salad, no refills on pre-made ice tea, broken fountain drink dispenser, out of cashews for a pizza topping, so almond slivers were substituted without saying a word until we complained. Empty condiments jars, bare minimum cheap napkins, hard to reach utensils and very noisy. Sounded like some kind of construction going on in the front room. Service is terrible. Had to go get the server to take the order. After 15 minutes she decided to come to our table and we were the only customers in the place. Small container of ice water put on the table - no pouring just plop. Absolutely nothing beyond bare minimum service. And then businesses wonder why they're losing money. Come to this restaurant if you like wasting your time and money. read more

We decided to stop by here to grab some local pizza. The dining room of the pizza shop was monkey-themed, which was pretty cool. When ordering at the counter, there were two different size options, and we got the smallest one for two people. We also had the option to do a split topping on our pizza. It was open seating, so we grabbed a table to see all the incredible monkey decorations. It took roughly 30 minutes for our pizza to come out, and based on the presentation of our pizza, it wasn't going to be that great of a taste, and I was right. Personally, the crust tasted stale and a bit overcooked. The toppings we got stood out less than we thought they would have. Luckily, we had grated parmesan cheese to help add some flavor to the pizza. The pizza was pricey just to be mid and definitely could have been better. read more

This is probably the best pizza shop in Renton and it's in downtown Renton lol. I got some leftovers from a friend and it was randomly good so I knew I had to actually try it fresh myself. I saw that they had a weekend pizza buffet, which I knew would be my opportunity to try a variety of their huge menu of pizzas. So went and FYI it's $18.99 for salad, pasta, and pizza. The buffet was kind of random to be honest. Not that many people know about it and for a buffet to be really good it has to be busy. Luckily, they brought out fresh pizza every time so we got to try half and halfs of different flavors. The guy bringing out the pizza would say what it was every time, but it would be helpful if there were some name tags. All the pizzas were hot and fresh for just 3 tables getting buffet. The standout to me was their spicy pepperoni because it has pepperoni cups that curl up crispy (the best kind of pepperoni). I would next time just order this pizza to go. Also, their home made ranch is good so if you order from here make sure to get some. I left super full because there is only so much pizza you can really eat. I think if more people knew about the weekend buffet it would really pop off. Mostly a lot of to go orders here, which makes sense. Also, they have home made cookies that are surprisingly good too that you should check out. I would definitely order a pizza here to go again, but recommend the buffet to see which pizza you really like from here. read more

Been here a couple of times during their "Monkey Hour" which is the same as Happy Hour and it's from 3-6pm, M-Thur. They have $12 pepperoni pizza and it's pretty tasty and loved by pepperoni pizza lovers. Their Monkey Hour wings are tasty too. $12 for a pitcher of beer sealed the deal. It's cheap cheap cheap! The people working here are super nice and efficient. The walls are decorated with monkey posters which are a cute touch to the place. Yeah but come if you looking for pizza and cheap beer. read more

Got this delivered to my hotel. One pie and mozzarella sticks. The food was decent. Not earth shattering but also not bad.

Pizza stands out amongst the rest. Try their tropic thunder and one of the summer special salads with watermelon or pineapple. Cheesecake was delicious too. All served with good service. read more

Reposting my google review here. My "16in Pepperoni paradise" pizza and 3 soda cans was $27.56, I gave them $50. They tried to short me on change and argued with me about the amount and that they "didn't have any more change." When in fact they had plenty of it. Their machine doesn't provide change amount but i used my calculator because it didn't seem right. Sure they tried to short me $2.44 and it's not that much but it is the principal. They gave me a $1.44 in US and another $1 in Canadian currency trying to pass it off as the same. I did get my change back in the end. Never coming back. read more

Hmmm, maybe a new ownership? Pizzerias must have good pizza to stand their ground and Smoking Monkey falls short. Otherwise, there must be another factor that brings customers back. This is my second time here, and I'm pretty sure there must be new ownership, because the pizza tastes different. In ordered the "plain" because I do believe it's the best when to assess a pizza. This pizza was filled with cheese...overly cheesy...too cheesy. Some may call this "mountain pizza" because you have to climb a mountain to burn the calories off. I'm rooting for this place because I love the theme, but the pizza was No Bueno. I'm hoping the Pizzaiolo tweaks the crust recipe and less cheese please. (Sorry no pics) read more

Doesn't matter what the pizza tastes like when the service is horrible. First time, we waited 3 hours for our delivery to arrive. Second time, we did pick-up to avoid any delay, and it wasn't ready even after 90 minutes since we called it in. They said "20 minutes" over the phone. They do not know how to efficiently or effectively run a business. We have had social plans both times we've ordered from them & it has negatively affected our plans. We will not try again. read more

I ordered three pizzas yesterday from Smoking Monkey. I haven't had their pizza for a very long time. Was looking forward to what I remembered. The pizza was nothing like I remembered it was dry void of flavor. I was so disappointed. I will say that the customer service was great. The restaurant was clean. read more

Pizza is good not quite as good as round table but I do like it and have tried a few times. It is pricey though I would say around $30 for like a medium pizza. I have never went inside have only had it delivered. I called once to confirm the price and size and they were still charging an arm and a leg although they informed me the oven caught fire and couldn't do large size read more

Smoking Monkey Pizza - Nova - Pizza Near Me - Renton, Washington

Living in Renton for over a decade I have seen Smoking Money Pizza but I have never been. Now I feel as though I have wasted time and calories on suboptimal pizzas when here, all this time, was the best pizza I have devoured in Renton. I did not eat in the restaurant so I can not tell you the tales of how that was. Next time I will and there will be a next time! We ordered pizza to go through their handy on-line app and wow was the place busy when we went to pick up! The lone lady at the counter would have benefitted from eight arms or at least two more people. People came in to buy cookies, to buy a slice, and the Door Dash drivers were in and out so frequently a revolving door should be installed! So while the pizza was done when the app indicated the lady took another 20 minutes in order to check us out due to the amount of people. I can't blame her. She was moving nonstop. By the time we got home the pizza was cold. It was too bad for that because I am not sure how it would have been piping hot out of the oven, but it was delicious! A few things caught my attention. The "wall to wall" pepperoni on the Pep Perfection is truly as advertised. It is easily the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had, even at room temp. Better when reheated! The little pepperonis were spicy and crispy. The crust somehow thin without being floppy and yet also still soft! The sauce was amazing. It was a delightful flavor explosion with every bite! Next time I come back it may not be on a weekend, but I will return! It was so good! read more
