Van Go's is an oasis of quality pizza in an ocean of crappy seafood that is Friday Harbor. If we were smart we would've come back here for every meal. We sat outside in the courtyard around back. The day was hot, but the courtyard was cool, shaded, and had a tiny play area for kids. We ordered a veggie and a meat pizza, both were awesome. We specified extra done for crunchy crust and the results were perfect. (Sometimes pizza places just ignore such a request) Our service was just fine, but I did a few areas to be improved upon: 1. A large party that was seated before us slipped through the cracks and ended up ordering after us. The staff apologized and worked hard to make it right- the family didn't seem to be too upset. 2. Pizzas meant for another table were mistakenly delivered to our table. 3. Menus seemed to be in short supply. Overall- none of the little inconsistencies would keep me from coming back. Especially considering the alternatives in a town that does it's very best to exploit a captive audience. read more

Great little hidden gem in Friday Harbor. Definitely seems targeted to locals, which is exactly what we want as a visitor! Excellent local beers on tap. Pizza crust was outstanding and toppings quite creative and the salads are super fresh too. We had the Brussels Sprouts/Bacon pizza, Buffalo Hot Wings pizza, and a Pesto Veggie. All were great and we had leftovers for lunch for the next day. Fun place for kids too - the decor is funky and there is a killer back patio with a gnome house. Playing cards on the table keep the little ones occupied until the food arrives. read more

This is a favorite spot of my family's on the island. We particularly love their pear pizza and three meat pizza. We love the style of the physical location, feels really cozy and intimate and authentic. Loses a star for being overpriced about $18-$26 for a pizza. Even if it was just $3 less per pizza we would go so much more often. read more

Fantastic pizza and good service. We had a Caesar salad bowl and 16'' prima pizza. The salad was tasty and nicely sized, the pizza was DELICIOUS and so fresh! Service was fast and attentive, prices were quite reasonable. Large pizza (16'') - $22 (for two people had plenty of leftovers) Beer - ~$5 Large bowl of salad - $13 There was ample seating inside and outside. Really great place, can't wait to go back! read more

Read the reviews here on Yelp first, and figured out this was the best place to get something quick and decent. That's exactly what we got...decent...the Ceasar Salad's were decent and the pizza was the same. The hostess was friendly and the place was quaint and intimate. Like another Yelp'r pointed out...the problem was the minimum 15% gratuity...the only options were 15, 20, & 25%...this didn't sit well with the wife because it was her turn to buy dinner, but REALLY 15% minimum...where was I when they changed the rules on tipping. However, good place to get a decent pizza!!! read more

This is such a great place. We wanted something easy and we could take back to light house and hang out for a little bit. This place opens at 4 pm, but it was worth the wait. Owner and employee were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed our thin crust pepperoni! read more

Friendly pizza place in Friday Harbor. We did take out which was perfect as we ate our pizza on our cottage deck by the water. I could see how eating in could be fun too. Quaint place to eat. read more

We had the greek salad and marg. pizza. Pizza was crisp and full of flavor while the salad was fresh with just the right amount of feta. Waitress was attentive and cheerful and food came out within a reasonable time. read more

Great pizza and really nice people. Every table has playing cards and they have a small but descent list of beers available as well as wine. We had the pepperoni pizza and it was spot on. Probably one of my favorite pizza places yet. They also have a patio to enjoy. Small and nice place. read more

The pear, Gorgonzola, prosciutto pizza was good, but not great. I would like larger pear slices, and a different sauce, but the pizza was still enjoyable. They have playing cards available at each table, and cool "Van Gogh" like decorations. The entrance is a tunnel structure with vines growing through it that is well lighted, and makes for a delightful preparation to entering the building. read more

Great pizza! We decided to order take out since we had a really busy day with island activities. Was pleasantly surprised when we order pizza from Van Go's. When we visit next time this is a must!! Ate the leftovers on our ferry trip back to Anacortes. Highly recommend to eat here!! Yum. read more

Awesome hole-in-the-wall local pizza joint. Great variety and service. Tranquil patio seating with nice selection of cold beer on tap. Thank you for the food and experience. read more

The pizza is fabulous. I tried the prosciutto and pear just to try something different, and it was amazing. Friendly people and a cute little courtyard out back. It will be a regular stop for me now when I come to the island. Stay away from bowling alley pizza, go to Van Go's! read more

Stopped in for a gluten free pizza and it's easily the best pie in town. They also have hard cider, which is always a plus. The prices are reasonable and the service was prompt and friendly. This just became our top pizza choice on the island. read more

The most amazing people run this restaurant and they make some delicious pizza. Alejandra and Daniel worked with us to create a welcome dinner for 45 people the night before our wedding. We are still hearing from our guests how great it was - all of it, the comfortable courtyard in the back, the personal service, and the yummy pizzas and salads. We'll be back again and again. Don't forget to tip the boys in the back kitchen. read more

Van Go's Pizza - Thank you Van Go's! - Pizza Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

why do I love this place? The salads. They are amazing and come in a giant bowl for sharing. That keeps me coming back over and over. The pizza is good as well. Nothing to write home about about but sure beats The China Pearl Pizza and Chinese food?. When have been in before when there has been wonderful service, and also not so great. I think it just depends on whom is working. It is a laid back casual atmosphere and the service mimics that. read more

Our first time here and to Friday Harbor/San Juan Island. Wonderful, friendly customer service. Pizza was delicious and well worth the money paid. They were super busy, but that tells you something. Thank you! read more

A wonderful place! We came here for dinner and we're very happy with everything. The waitress was friendly and very helpful despite being very busy with customers. The food was all excellent as well. We had the garden salad as well as the Caesar salad and both had excellent composition and both dressings were excellent as well. The pizza was a thin crust and achieved the almost impossible -although it was loaded with ingredients the crust was crisp and done well. There wasn't a soggy piece in the entire pizza! Recommend this place highly and look forward to eating here again soon. read more

The Prima pizza was mindblowing! I forgot the babe if the lady who served us (she was the main one helping all customers, so perhaps the owner?) but she was really friendly. Gave us some good recommendations for desserts near by as well! read more

Great pizza and service. Try the prosciutto and pear. Crust is crunchy on the outside fluffy inside and worth every bite. read more

Fun little pizza place to stop in at. From the front of the house, you'd think there were only a couple tables with a push for take-out, but its actually a dine-in restaurant. Very cozy and friendly. The pizza was decent. I felt as though they did a nice job on the cheese blend, but the sauce was minimal and the crust was only decent. The bountiful fresh spinach on top was the best part. The 17" was very large for two people, unless you're pretty hungry. It was nice to bring home leftovers, though, and the waitress went out of her way to package our leftovers in a way that would fit in a mini fridge. It's worth stopping by here. Personally, it was my favorite of the pizza I tried in the island, but being from the Chicagoland area, I can only give a couple stars. Decent food. Really friendly people. Check 'em out and gain your own opinion. read more

The high ratings for this place baffle me. Took my family there earlier this week, and sure, the patio is charming and the people are nice. But MAN was the service ever slow and the pizza lousy! We must have waited 15 minutes before we were even served water, and though the classic pizza our kids ordered was passable... The chicken/Gorgonzola thing we had was just not good. It's not just that the crust was too thick (hey man, I can be down with deep dish)... It was just too doughy, rendering it inedible. We resorted to scraping the topping off and eating those do as not to consume insane amounts of bread...but yeah, the toppings. Not yummy...and it's not because we don't like chicken or Gorgonzola. Love 'em both to death. But there was something seriously off. read more

We were looking for some thin crust pizza while visiting the Island and Van Go Pizza did not disappoint!! We had the Margherita Pizza and it was absolutely awesome! Seriously the best Margherita pizza we've had in a long, long time. Wish it wasn't so far away from Mukilteo . Thanks for a great dinner. read more

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! Alejandra, Daniel, Megan and the whole gang are absolutely amazing! Feel like I'm walking into an old friend's place every time I'm here and the Salads and Pizzas are amazing! Only place we order pizza from on the island!! read more

Cutest little pizza place ever! The buffalo pizza is delicious! We will definitely be back.

Decided to give it another try and the same young woman was rude. Wouldn't let us sit outside at the table in the corner of the back patio and drink a beer while we waited for our pizza so we walked out. She also overcharged me at another place nearby at lunch. I realize now this is a pattern. read more

Lovely little place! We tried prima pizza and it was delicious! They had good variety of pizzas and drinks to choose from. read more

Went here for dinner and cold beer after a long kayaking tour. Everything hit the spot; pizza was good, beer was cold, and the outdoor patio is lovely. Pizza crust is denser than I usually prefer, but very good flavor and texture. Sauce and cheese are just right, and the distribution of toppings was well done. Friendly service, definitely sit outside if you can. Probably the coolest patio in town. read more

This place has amazing gourmet pizza and salads. We have been back to this place three times during our vacation and everything we ordered was excellent. Definitely try the bacon brussel sprout pizza, it is a thing of beauty! All of their pizzas are the best! read more

Always love this place. Adorable outdoor seating. If only people would watch their kids!! We had pizza and my husband loved the Greek salad. Great friendly service. read more

Good pizza great service. Plenty of room to sit and chat. Inventive menu. Simple menu.

Killer crust. Best I have had in a long time. Hemceforth, this is my pizza go-to in the Islands.

Pizza was literally the best I've had. The atmosphere and decor was very nice too. 10/10, going back every time I visit Friday Harbor.

Good pie, thin crust but at $20 for personal sized pizza its a little pricey. Service is friendly and food came out hot and fresh. Good selection of beer too. read more

Great pizza! It is pricey but we have never been disappointed! Ordered the Chicken Gorgonzola the last time we were there and it was amazing! Friendly fast service. read more

Great pizza and good for families! Deck of cards to keep everyone entertained. Fast and friendly! Awesome bohemian atmosphere.

Pesto pizza was to die for. The manager was exceptionally kind and took good care of us!

Pizza toppings were amazing, service was great, not a big fan of their crust and the tomato sauce needed some garlic and spices. The outdoor area was adorable, cute spot. It was definitely kid friendly with a cute driftwood play house. I wanted to like it more than I did because of the vibe there but it was just okay. Maybe it's because I am not a fan of thick crust pizza, I don't know. read more
