Slice of Heaven

 

Stadium District’s Pizza Spot Hits All the Right Notes

There is no shortage of delectable slices of pizza pie in Tacoma, we make it hard just to choose one. Woodfired, deep dish, NY style, from the funky fresh ingredients to the classics, there’s a little something for everyone. 

Tucked into that perfect stretch between Stadium High and Wright Park (aka prime strolling territory), Salamone’s PIzzaria is serving up New York-style slices with serious Tacoma soul.

Salamone’s is approachable in all the ways.

It’s got that "neighborhood hangout" energy: walk in, grab a slice, maybe post up upstairs with a cold drink and catch the street buzz from the window. No gimmicks, no pretense—just good pizza, good vibes and wicked fast service if you’re on the go AND you get a bang for your buck.

Now let’s talk crust, because that’s where the magic starts. The classic pepperoni? A total flex. The foundation boasts a nice crisp, blistered crunch that folds just right—exactly how a proper slice should behave. It’s cheesy, saucy, a little greasy (in the best way), and made for those grab-it-and-go Tacoma days.

Feeling Bold?

Go for the Grandma slice. It’s a thick, square beauty with a focaccia-style base that’s the exact opposite of the NY-style slices. It’s bready and dense and not for those who are carb averse. The sauce is herby and fragrant, layered with melty mozzarella and fresh basil—saucier than its counterparts sprinkled with herbs and cheese giving each bite an herbaceous pop. And the edges? Laced with crispy cheesy bits making it delectable to the last bite. 

Thirsty? Their cooler's stacked with a variety of cold cans – from sodas and ciders to brews and easy sippers that pair perfectly with a hot slice. Whether you’re rolling in after work or fueling up post-park hang, there’s something to quench your thirst. 

Due to the walkability of the neighborhood and proximity to public transportation, park hangs and more, it's the kind of spot that brings people together—lunch breakers, students, skaters, after-hours snackers.

So… have you tried it yet? What’s your go-to slice?
Drop your recs and let’s talk crust.
