The Wheel House is easily our favorite place in town. It has that perfect, upbeat atmosphere that works whether you're catching up with friends or just looking for a lively night out. The energy is always high, the servers are incredibly friendly and attentive, and the beer selection is top-tier. But the absolute "pro move" here? You can get Village Pizza delivered right to your table from next door. Honestly, it's the best pizza in Skagit County, and pairing it with a fresh pint at the Wheelhouse is a total game-changer. Great vibes, better beer, and world-class pizza--you really can't beat it. Highly recommended! read more

Best pizza in Skagit County, in my humble opinion. The Wheel House is the bar side of Village Pizza and offers a full menu of pizza, sandwiches, salads and appetizers in addition to having a full bar. Pizzas offer a wide variety of toppings. The crust is delicious and just the right thickness. I can't talk about the appetizers or salad because I always get pizza. The bar is great - lots of table seating and a dozen or so bar stools. The TVs are usually showing local sports. The bartenders are friendly and get to know your regular order pretty quickly. read more

Stripped by to have a coffee and asked if they have a coffee menu. Looking for a non corporate option I asked if they had a coffee menu and the reply from the hipster(owner? Was "We don't do takeout" and the menu is online" I was expecting to sit and enjoy the shop but obviously unwelcomimg Will not be back The online menu does look interesting but the owner/ employee is antisocial read more

The Wheel House - The 4 Meatballs - Chicken Wings Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

This is by far one of my favorite places to eat. The lasagna is homemade fresh every day. The drinks are always fantastic. And they've had the same dough recipe for over 30 years. Whether you get pizza delivered at your house. Or go inside for a drink and a side of garlic balls. You will leave with a full stomach and a smile. read more

Awesome combination of restaurant and bar. You can order from the restaurant side and they'll deliver to your table but we ate in the bar. Great service. Super friendly and welcoming. The pizza was just what we wanted. Medium thick crust, tons of cheese and toppings on toppings. We also got the mozzarella sticks which are baked and not fried. Hubs said they were ok, but we would go back in a heartbeat for the pizza. My waistband is happy we aren't locals because we would eat the pizza everyday! Must stop while in town! read more

The food was fine. When we walked in, we were a party of six. None of the tables seated six easily. We asked if we could push a table up to one of the booths and I'll sit together there. They wouldn't let us do it. They wouldn't let us push two freestanding tables together. They forced us to sit at a very long table that was set up for over 25 people I think. It was awkward. Another large group came in after us and sat at the table with us. It made for a noisy and not very comfortable conversation for our meal. They didn't seem very welcoming to people who were coming in either. It seemed like all the locals knew to just walk up to the counter, order their thing and go sit down somewhere. But we weren't local, and we didn't know that. I ordered their mushroom chicken Alfredo pasta, and it was very good. My husband didn't order it the right way though, and I ended up not having a salad with it. That was sad. read more

We are here visiting from New Mexico & Oregon. Picked up two pizzas this evening and loved them both. The Village Veggie & the Garden Delight (added sausage). The flavor combination on both was delish. Loved the crust!! read more

Great food again, the village idiot pizza is the best! Lots of meat, good Italian seasoning and while it isn't thin crust, the crust is light and crispy. Absolutely the best pizza in Anacortes! The everything salad is covered with bay shrimp, mushrooms, cucumbers and black olives. It comes with onions and green peppers which I omit. It is delicious! The ambiance is loud and usually full of people, staff is friendly and quick to serve. They have been here for years one side is bar with full service the other is dining for families. Highly recommend! read more

For approximately 56 years I have rarely missed a month of ordering food and beverages from Village Pizza. It started as a Junior High School discovery and turned into most Friday nights in High School after the Football or Basketball Game. The little place at 711 Commercial (the Original location) was so popular after games that you could barely navigate to the restrooms. It was standing room only, the seats were like picnic benches. The tables covered with red checkered oil cloth, and the small cheese pizza was 99 cents. My husband supposedly told his friend Rob Nickerson, after seeing me there one Saturday afternoon "I'm going to ask her out and I think we're getting married someday". It was 1974. By 1977 the moved to their new spacious location at 807 Commercial Ave; site of Bryson's Mortuary up until John moved in with that famous dough, sauce, and toppings. There were plenty of jokes about what the ovens had been previously used for!!! The crowds got bigger and the food stayed the same, delicious, with a very complete menu and sides, desserts and beverages. There was a room to the side for Birthday parties, awards ceremonies, and Youth Sports Banquets. The room became a game room a couple different times, and then the newer owners created "The Wheelhouse" a classy pub with a terrific beer menu (though they stopped serving Manny's, quite a long time back) the salads got even more delicious ( I don't know how they do it; it is always so fresh and crisp with the World's best Ranch Dressing). Some people swear by the baked spaghetti, some the garlic meat balls, or Calzones. There are more choices than ever with gluten free now available.You can get your food delivered, you can pick up or for the most fun of all you can take your family and dine in. There is nothing better than a mushroom pizza with extra mushrooms, an Everything Salad with Ranch and a beverage of your choice; unless your choice is Manny's, like me you'll settle for a Diet Pepsi. The service is phenomenal, the atmosphere couldn't be better, and every once in a while on a rainy fall evening the Pub side is so packed, the windows are dripping sweat and if you close your eyes for just a moment or two, it is Friday Night in 1973 again and all our friends are there, and life holds endless possibilities. read more

nice neighborhood bar in the heart of downtown Anacortes. Stopped by for a beer while visiting my wife working in the area. Good draft selection and price at happy hour, had an IPA and talked to bartender for a minute. The family and I came back in the afternoon and had pizza at village pizza. All was great. read more

We love this place. The spaghetti and meatballs baked in the pizza oven is my go to there

It was time for another wing hit and after reading Yelp reviews, I dragged hubby here. And I am so glad I did. Ordered the regular Hot Wings and they arrived promptly and wafting Buffalo Sauce. Ten wings, too. Not just some wimpy 6 or so. Good division between flats and drumettes and nice and moist. We almost got a second ordered but opted to try a small pizza instead. Ordered the Garden pizza but hubby wanted sausage and I wanted meatballs. So we compromised and ordered both! Super yum...and ample. I had a small sliver this morning because you know...pizza for breakfast is a thing! We will be back in the neighborhood in about a week. Will be hitting up the Wheelhouse for another round of wings. Oh and bonus: they have four flavors of San Juan Seltzer's, too! read more

The Wheel House - Garden Pizza with added sausage and meatballs! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

Staff SUCKS.... Sat at the bar with my son and waited :55 minutes for a pizza that never came. $7 dollar beer empty and with no offer from a bar keep asking for another. Tried to inquire about the pizza and the Manager/Bar tender (dude) could've gave two shits!! Place was half full. I travel for work and eat at a lot of restaurants and pubs. This place has AWFUL staff!!! Avoid at all costs as they are pathetic and not worthy of your hard earned money. read more

My favorite tavern in Anacortes. Great staff and service with an excellent craft beer selection. Slightly upscale vibe but by no means pretentious. Everyone is extremely welcoming. Same menu as Village Pizza which is fine by me. Pizza is a very individual thing but I really like the style they make. Dough is made daily in house. read more

I've always wanted to try The Wheelhouse in Anacortes. We have been to Village Pizza many times and the Wheelhouse is connected to the Pizzeria. Their menu is the same and you can order a pie to be brought into the bar. We were fortunate in that we happened to choose a Saturday when the town was not jammed with people. It was very casual in there without the crowd which I liked. I've seen that place with standing room only. I liked the dark wood and the nautical atmosphere. We only had wings and drinks and the wings were just spicy enough but were cooked in the pizza oven and not deep fried. I thought the skin was too sticky but otherwise they were good. The Barman was efficient and friendly. We love Village Pizza and you can negate the kid factor by going into The Wheelhouse. We will be back. read more

Came during The Oyster Run and this place is so much better than it needs to be! The French Dip was delicious. The bread had a nice crisp. The meat was tender. The jus was balanced. My friends got a calzone and a meatball sub which were also great. Service was awesome even with the big crowds from the event. I will be back. read more

Every time we eat there we enjoy the delicious chicken wings and the jalapeño poppers. The pizza is great. We will definitely eat here again. read more

We came here from the marina on a recommendation from a fellow boater. What a hidden gem! Great pub food and good pizza. Awesome beer and cocktail choices. The bar was packed and the staff kept up with all requests. This is a small town neighborhood watering hole and it was great! Can't wait to go back! read more

This is our first experience here at the Wheel House. And.... It won't be our last. The food was very good. Hubby had the lasagna. I had the BBQ wings appetizer for an entree' along with a dinner salad. All hit the spot. Corey was our server & Bartender and it was quite busy but he did not disappoint being a solo server. Very impressed with his work ethics, a mover & a shaker. Super impressed! If you're in Anacortes, I highly recommend you stop in for your own experience. As mentioned, we will be back. read more

Always great. Good food and great service. It's become a local favorite. I no longer live in Anacortes but whenever I visit I stop by the Wheelhouse. read more

This is the best place in town for good beer and the best pizza ever! If you have rugrats Village Pizza is next door with the same amazing menus and a shared kitchen. This is our go to place when family comes to town, everyone loves the garlic knots. read more

We ordered the bbq wings and were very good. Also the medium village idiot pizza which is the meat lover. We ordered it thin crust and it was great. I also ordered a side salad with ranch. The staff was wonderful. read more

The Wheel House - Bbq wings and meat lover pizza. Yum!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

I had a big party, called a week ahead for reservation they called me 30 min before the dinner and said don't come, they are too busy. Seriously I have never had an experience like this, people were mad at me because we couldn't all eat together. No matter how good the food is I cannot support that kind of service. Instead went to Union tavern where they literally ran next door to get gluten free bread. Guess which place I will return to? read more

Interesting place. First of all their food is top notch, it comes from next door which is Village Pizza. The Pizza, Salads and wings are really good, definately 5 stars. On to the wait staff, best I can describe it is they do not seem genuine at all, phony replies and really don't have an interest in the customers. 2 and a half stars on the staff. Now onto the drinks, I have never seen such weak pours coming out of a bottle into a shot glass for measurement, okay I get it, portion control. But seriously $6.50 for a drink that is not even 1 oz. Tip of the day, order your food from next door or have it delivered (yes, they deliver to boats too!) and save your money on the drinks and hit the bowling alley or el jiente for a great drink. read more

Very tasty Buffalo wings & Dan's Favorite pizza!! Delicious food and great friendly service. This is my family's go to pizza joint in the past 5 years and we will return again! They also have a good mediterranean pizza for veggie lovers. If you you want a small pizza for yourself, the personal pan is ideal. read more

Wait a second here! No online menu? ¿Como? Gluten free only in the small size? ¿Como? Wait. No thin crust because everything is rolled out in the morning ahead of time? ¿COMO? Feggedaboudit. Too many other places with "Real food by real people"™© in Anacortes to put up with this kind of antediluvian non-sense! Go somewhere else, like Ciao Bella or elsewhere! read more

We went here for a date on a Sunday night and had a great time! The Wheel House is a restaurant and bar attached to Village Pizza. They seem to have the same menu as Village Pizza- but with a full bar! My boyfriend had a Melvin beer on tap and I had a screwdriver. while our drinks choice were basic, I saw the bartender make some fancier cocktails as well. We had a medium combination pizza for dinner, which was plenty for us to share. The service was fast and friendly and our pizza was delicious! Overall, The Wheel House is an affordable, low-key, and relaxing place to grab dinner or drinks when in Anacortes! read more

First of all, the servers, bartenders etc are so friendly and cool! They are fast and can multi task like crazy! The pizza is the best pizza around. They also have garlic balls (bread) that are so yummy! A favorite of mine are the meatballs. They slice them in half, so when you order three, you're getting six! ;) I always get the "everything" salad which is easy to share with someone. Their turkey sandwich is awesome! Casual atmosphere and a locals hangout! read more

Fantastic bar, right behind a pizza place that you can order your pizza and carry down the hall to the bar to sit down and have a beverage while you enjoy some good food. They will also bring it to your table. The bar is very pleasant with lots of pictures of early american period pictures about the life of old Anacortes. The bar is full service and strictly 21 or over so please leave your kids at home, this is a location strictly for the big kids. The pizza establishment that is connected by a hallway is kid friendly, the last time I was there it was a group of folks gathering for a bingo night. I think the bar has it's own menu separate from the pizza establishment but i'm sure they do overlap in some way. Pizza place has a juke box. The pizza's are quite large so keep that in mind when you order, it's certainly not a bad thing, they are tasty and a good value. read more

Had the chef salad and ranch, it was delicious. My daughter had the penne alfredo with mushrooms and chicken, also very good. Tried a bit of the pepperoni pizza, also delicious. Good came promptly and hot. Liked the minimalist modern industrial decor. Good jukebox tunes. The only negative at all is the lack of friendly staff, otherwise good place to grab food. read more

Surprisingly good. The 6 of us were tired from the festival activities and were looking for something to eat and to rest our feet. Both accomplished here. Food tasty (heated sub and mini pizzas) and beer cold. Service a bit slow but only one server for the bar plus the food read more

The service is usually really attentive but not annoyingly so. I like the pizzas and my husband loves their sandwiches and pasta dinners. We both love that we can get something other than a burger at a bar -- sometimes we want to go to a bar but want something different, you know? He food usually comes within 15 minutes. If you're a garlic lover, definitely try the garlic balls. They're dinner rolls swimming in garlic and butter and they are awesome! read more

Best bar in Atown, period. Also, the only bar with Redbreast. So if you like Irish Whiskey, this is your spot ;-]

The best garlic bread EVER!!!!! Also had a delicious dark and stormy made by Shawana!!

A review from Boston travellers: Great food- the penne & lasagne were excellent. Decent selection of draft beers. Cool ambience. Relaxed vibe. Excellent service. We thought James was really top-notch!! read more

Really great place for a drink and exceptionally wonderful food!! The meatball appetizer is to die for, and the pizza is awesome! Update!! The last 3 pizzas here have been horrible, the good and friendly waitstaff are gone, replaced with the same awful lack of service and attitude which you can find anywhere these days. This place has really gone downhill in a big way, sad. read more

Stopped in the Wheel House before catching the Island Express to Blakley Island. The locals were friendly and interested in what we were doing and where we were going. If in the neighborhood, definitely stop in for good service and fun conversations! read more

Good beer options on tap. Good food. Nice decor. Can be a bit slow for food service. Try the lasagna it's great.
