Talarico's Pizzeria Reviews

Came in for happy hour and had amazing drinks and the best meatballs I have had aside from my hubby's! Had a great drink and got to keep my bucket! Lol

We picked up a pizza after landing in Seattle and brought it to our rented house. It was huge! The crust was nice and soft, and one cheese pizza was enough for the 6 of us for dinner. It could have used a little more sauce, so if you like a saucy pizza, you might not like this. The cheese was good, and even better with the extra parmasean. The service was fast.

I normally hit this place for happy hour. Pretty good, and quite large, pizza slices for a discounted happy hour price. The Caesar salad makes a nice and tasty meal with one of the slices. If you really want the happy hour well drinks, be specific about it or otherwise you won't get the well drink price. Service is good and the setting is nice for watching sporting events.

Grab a gigantic slice of pizza, or go for a full pie if you have a party of 4+ (and you are hungry!) Talarico's is great for sports watching, and also has live music or DJ's on the weekends. Great pizza, also good pasta. Staff are typically friendly, though they can get a bit overwhelmed with crowds.

We loved this restaurant. The varieties of gourmet pizza were delicious. We look forward to trying them all. This is a great restaurant in a fun neighborhood. The service was prompt and very friendly.

We were looking for another restaurant, but it was closed, so without looking at reviews we walked in at Talarico's. What a lucky choice, we had delicious pizzaslices, a nice glass of wine and yummy deserts for a very reasonable price.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday here and had a great meal. The pizza and salads were delicious. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was fun and relaxing.

Huge slices of pizza, good meatballs and happy hour prices in a funky older building near the Junction. What"a not to like?

We love the pizza here! Not only are the slices huge, they also make a fantastic thin crust. Many different flavors to choose from. We ordered a full pizza oir a party once and it was so big we had a hard time fitting the box into the car. We've tried several other items on the menu, however always seem to come back to the pizza. Service can be slow at times if your not setting at the bar.

Bomb pizza! If you are looking for a great pizza place come here. The pizza slices are huge and they are only $5-7. You can get regular kinds of pizza or specialities. Must try!

Giant slices of great pizza, cewate yorur own or try one of their specialties. Full bar as well as tasty pastas.

Hands down this is a staple to our community. Love the oversized pizza slices and sports on the tele🍕

Enjoyed sitting at open windows to the street. Good people watching. Happy hour food and drink prices.

This pizza is awesome! If you order it by the slice, beware! The slices are giant, which makes it a great value. They have fun combinations and varieties. Super great service too!

This was a great place when they opened, but quality has gone down hill. Ok for a cocktail, but if you are looking for quality pizza, you have other choices.

My friends took me here because I have always wanted a big pizza. 28" diameter did not let me down. Good place to watch football, eat some pizza. Food quality was good too. Toppings were many, and crust was thin the way I like it. Recommended.

What a great place, really great pizza, tasty salads and excellent Penne Volka dish. It gets really busy. Good beer, and beverage selection. Friendly and helpful staff.

We like visiting with our extended family (party of 15) to make good use of their gigantic pies. They do have other dishes, salads, pasta, nice appetizers, but the pizzas are their thing. Note: you can get them by the slice (still huge!), which are a great deal during happy hour washed down by a tasty NW beer or craft cocktail. Fun spot with friends and family!

My husband and I grabbed a late night bit and drinks here. We found a gem! I had the margarita and my husband tried something different. The atmosphere was great, not too noisy, or crowded. They put something in that pizza bread that is sooooo delish!

We ordered the large pizza I share amongst 4 people. The pizzas were HUGE! We got half Italian sausage and half Hawaiian BBQ. It was ok. The Italian sausage one was a bit too spicy but it was fine. This restaurant is cozy - would probably come here again but not in any rush to come back.

Delicious meal on a cold Sunday evening. Place wasn't very busy and service was fast. My friend ordered a slice of pizza that had a perfectly delicate crust with great flavor and I ordered the spaghetti squash over arugula with a meatball. It was exactly what I wanted. Perfectly cooked and seasoned well. Great comfort food while trying not to eat pasta.

Great food and good service! My boyfriend is from New York and "hates" the pizza out here, He really like theirs. Karaoke night wasn't has fun as it could have been because it was too busy and we didn't get more than 1 rotation

This pizza place in West Seattle is so good! Easy to get to in the West Seattle Junction and you can park (for free!) in the parking lots on the west side behind Husky Deli. Highly recommend just getting one slice (maybe two if you're super hungry)...they are so huge and you will fill stuffed after just one! If you like goat cheese, ask for some on your pizza or on the side, you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful food. Pizza as big as your arm! Excellent service! The Caesar salad is also exceptional. I was longing for NY style pizza and this came pretty darn close.

Had a taste for pizza while visiting West Seattle, tried Talarico's based on Trip Advisor reviews. There are many eateries in this area, but this place wasn't too busy for a Saturday night. Warm, cozy atmosphere with a large bar in the center and many booths and tables around the restaurant. Pizza is sold by the slice, huge slices over 12 inches long. Many varieties to choose from or build your own. Prices are very reasonable, $5.99 or $6.99 per slice. I ordered Florentine and hubby had " the Swine "..lol. Small Ceaser salad easily serves 2 people. Waitress was friendly and prompt. We will be back!

My date took me here for dinner... I was worried because it was loud, and all I saw was a big wait (at 10 at night), and a huge bar crowd. However, the service was excellent. The hostess was in her game, she was attentive to us as well as all the people coming through the door. We enjoyed the bruschetta to start off, very good. I had the Florentine (hold the meat) um.. so good. And that garlic! Loved it ❤️. My date had the south street, just piles of meat on a pizza 😬. He loved it. Our server, I believe Samantha was her name, was great. Samantha was friendly, quick, and made sure we were taken care of. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended.

Amazing pizza and a great bargain for this neighborhood. One slice is sure to fill any appetite. It would take at least 4 people to take down an entire pie. I'd definitely come back!

I'm amazed at how there can be so many positive reviews for this place! I wonder if they have ever had good pizza. Pizza is my favorite food and it's hard for me to find pizza that I really hate--well I found it here. We got the large individual slices which really aren't that good of a deal. Some are $7-8 a slice and so not worth it. You'd be better off going to a good pizza place like Sparta's or Astoria and getting a couple of large pizzas to share. That would be cheaper and better for a large group. This was the worst crust we have ever had! Dry and literally tasted like cardboard. I have had gluten-free frozen pizza better than this. Most of the frozen pizza I've had was also better than this place. I also didn't like the atmosphere. It was so loud we couldn't really talk to each other. We also ordered $8 bruschetta which consisted of some crusty crouton type bread chunks with tomatoes. To sum it up: it really doesn't matter what toppings you put on cardboard so don't waste your time and money. You've been warned!

Unlike other guests, I did not encounter screaming kids, the waiters did a great job of placing the families in a far area of the restaurant and kept families together, social crowds together and couples together. So we had no issues. Someone said the lighting was to low, I thought it was a great ambiance. I was also thrown off that the waitress offers a salad with your meal and you are charged separate, it was worth it. Never mind all that. THIS WAS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF PIZZA I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED and I do mean encountered, since I used three different techniques to eat it. First the fork and knife method, then the lift method and then the fold. I promise you will love it and be full..Without a salad the price was 4.95...more then fair!

Simply put. HUGE slices, small prices. I don't think it gets more clear then that. But I'll add this place has a get great ambiance, the food is delicious and a great staff!

It's cool that they can text you when your table is ready. Funky decor in the used-to-be-a Chinese space would make for a very cool place if they upped their game. But they are choosing to go the family, sports-bar route. It's really LOUD with lots of screaming kids. We were very surprised by this since pizzas are $50 each, but since you can buy them a slice at a time I guess it makes sense. We had the Sweet Signora salad as a starter and it was delicious. The server split it on two plates, which was very nice. He would not allow me to taste the two wines I wanted to taste before ordering. Every other restaurant I go to allows me to do that (although my husband says I've just been lucky), but the waiter was a little offended by this request. The pizza is their claim to 'fame' and a full pizza is 28" across. You can order a slice of any of their signature pies or make your own for about $5 or 6. If you'd had a salad or app, one slice is all you will need because it's going to be 14" long. Thing is, from our perspective, you can put just about anything on a pizza and make it taste fabulous or unique or whatever, but if you didn't get the crust right what are you doing calling yourself an Italian restaurant? The crust at Talarico's is like soggy cardboard. Tasteless and completely falling apart in the middle because it hasn't been cooked properly. There is no flavor at all. Truly, I cannot recall even eating the rounded end because it didn't taste like anything. And the marinara tasted like it came out of a jar. With Spiros a mile or so down the street, I am shocked this place is in business at all but they have a prime Junction location and a zillion TVs tuned to your favorite game. Most everyone seems to be rating the drinks and the bartending so maybe I just don't get it at all.

Unfortunately we were all hungry and just got into Seattle looking for something to eat. We noticed this neat looking restaurant and decided to give it a shot. We ordered a Cesar salad and meatball appetizer. For our meal we ordered an assortment of pizza slices. The salad was wilting and brown. The pizza slices were huge but that was it for it being notable. The crust was burnt and sauce was drab. We tried a variety of slices, but not a one hit the mark. Although, the service was good at this restaurant.

Huges slices of pizza, good atmosphere, happy hour drinks, my personal go-to happy hour.

This is a busy place for good reason - good drinks (and plentiful tap beer) and great food. Pizza by the slice is delightful, but the mac and cheese dish is more than yummy! Service is good, but often there is a wait. Sit at the bar in the center of the restaurant if available and enjoy sporting events - almost all the bartenders are pros at their job.

In the heart of the West Seattle Junction satisfy your craving for a giant slice of thin crust pizza, in a buzzing open yet dimly lit room with full featured bar and even a few seats around a warm fire pit for the especially chilly amongst the regular tables . I recall having the Sinatra pizza slice which is my favorite, among many other choices. With the many options for pizza in West Seattle, this is fighting for the top in its niche. Check it out.

My wife, 2 daughters and husbands, and 2 grandchildren went to Talarico's on Friday February 15th. My one daughter and her family from Seattle had recommended the restuarant. The interior decor was great, with high ceilings, exposed wood joists, a variety of seating options, and a spacious bar and flat screens. Everyone ordered pizza and it was all good, large, and inexpensive. While it was out of the way (my daughter lives in Snohomish), we would find our way back to Talarico's.

Great neighborhood find. Always good for a slice and a beer. The largest pizza in town! They also serve liquor. Nice atmosphere to boot.

You can literally feed a party of 12 with the size of these pies. It's great pizza too. Reminds me of the slices I used to get when I lived on the east coast. Nice bar and great service. It's a local West Seattle favorite.

OMGosh - the biggest piece of pizza I have ever seen - makes Costco's slice look like a miniature. And soooooo yummy. Had the Butternut Squash - hubby had the Swine Lovers - both were so good - didn't have to eat dinner that night!!! Would love to go back and try others but unfortunately we don't live anywhere near. Sat outside - it was a nice day - our server Emily was fun to interact with! So many choices of pizza to choose from and they also have several other items to pick from.

Quite simply, the largest pizzas I've ever seen. A weird gothic/sports bar interior. Supposedly turns into an equally weird club at night.

Served immediately when we got there. We had the 12 inch pizza which was very well priced for what it was. The only slight downfall was the price for a drink of coke but other than that was an all round nice bar to eat at.

Staff here welcome families with children and adults. They will help make large groups work too. The pizza by the slice is delish and they have good local beer on tap. They also do a great happy hour for the early birds. A neighborhood favorite.

Took my 10 and 7 year old niece/nephew there for a fun night out, (their choice). Started with a salad which was great and we each had our own custom made piece of pizza. There was a birthday party for a child going on at the same time and many adults enjoying adult beverages as well. it is a great place to go and I am sure I will return.

Smelled pizza heading elsewhere and veered off course. A good selection of very large "slices" that are more than sufficient per person. I very much enjoyed my slice of Drunken Sicilian's toppings of beer-carmelized onions and sausage. Would have liked something a little more in terms of the smattering of provolone, and large nearly uncooked green peppers. The crust was a delivery mechanism for the toppings, not much special about it. Short but quality draft beer list.

Love happy hour - pizza, salad and glass of wine for about $20. BIG slices!!!

I heard about this place independently from 2 people today and decided it was meant to be. I took my teenaged sons and dad, not telling them about the enormity of the pies. Boy were they amazed when this enormous pizza arrived at our table! We ordered the Coppola and it was fantastic! Definitely recommend this place with friendly staff, cool vibe and excellent pizza.

I loved this place. The waitress was friendly the food was great! The drinks were above average! A group of friends and I went just to grab a quick bite to eat and ended up doing karaoke and having great laughs! One tip..If you go with one other friend perhaps you may want to split one piece of pizza because the slices are huge!!!

Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic Happy Hour. And the pizza was thin crusted, huge, and really, really good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Food seemed too salty. (Mac n cheese.) pizza is fair enough, but not our fave. Decent service. I do see it's renovated to open up front windows which is cool. It's obviously a place to feed a party, what with true mega pizzas. I cannot say we'd come back as a couple. Well- and we haven't.

Awesome pizza, and yep it is huge. Beer is good and fresh. Haven’t had a chance to try other foods, I am stuck on the pizza.

Fun place for good eats. Nice choice of beer and cocktails and really good (and huge) pizza by the slice. Friendly wait staff.

This is a great place if you want a slice of pizza and a drink. The choices are ample and the drinks selection is wonderful too. There are a variety of salad, pasta and small plate dishes to chose from. Weekends can be crowded!

Great local hangout... huge slices that hit the spot. I like the Margherita and South Street slices personally. With a great bar and layout, it's a great place to watch a game, too.

The happy hour pizza slices and cheap well drinks are enough to keep me coming back for more each time. You can usually find a spot at the bar as well if you're waiting for a table. But seriously, the slices of pizza are almost as long as my forearm AND hand.

We stopped here on the advice of a local. We were in West Seattle to help a relative move and needed to feed 8 adults. We purchased 2 of their 28” pizzas, which are HUGE! The price seemed a little steep but when you consider we fed 8 adults dinner and lunch the next day all the while raving about how good the pizza was I’d say it was a bargain. Would definitely eat here again. Great service as well.

They make giant pizzas and serve very large, meal size slices, as well as, other Italian dishes and excellent salads. Many beer and mixed drinks options. Very large place that has sections away from bar area for families. Great vibe and very lively local crowd.

love their pizza by the slice. $5.99 and you are stuffed. Love the variety and the crust is a thing of beauty.

Stopped by as we were early to Arts West play across street. Had a couple of beers and drinks and also ordered the Antipasto appetizer (we had already had dinner somewhere else). Antipasto was ok but did not like one of the cheeses. Beer and drinks were great and waitress was attentive. We will try this place again next time we do our yearly trip to Arts West.

Located in the West Seattle Junction area, this is a short drive from my daughter's house. While this was not our original destination that night, it proved to be an excellent alternative. The three of us ordered different pizza slices and three different beers from their full bar. I ordered a slice of the Swine lovers with Pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, extra mozzarella, and marinara. My wife went for a slice of the The Florentine with roasted garlic, prosciutto, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and marinara. My daughter chose the Abbiocco with house roasted Roma tomatoes, basil pesto, goat cheese, mozzarella and marinara. Based on my daughter recommendation, we added Mama Lil's peppers to our pizzas. A couple of Mac N Jack's ambers later and the world was a warm a friendly place. Everything was delicious and highly recommended!

Stopped by for some lunch today and we were not disappointed. We had heard about the huge slices of pizza that this place offers. I would say the quality was better than average, but the quantity was outstanding! I would recommend this place to family and friends anytime!

Apparently if you're a "regular" here or you have good stripes in the karaoke, it is permissible to walk around to random tables and knock over customers' beers on them and get away with it. I watched this same guy doing this (Anders?) after I escorted him away being carried around by people barely able to walk and still being overserved. All I got was a rag to clean up our soaked phones and table and a half apology from a couple waitresses. This place has become so sloppy over the years and it is a bummer because it had a lot going for it.

Haver a slice and top it anyway you want. Don't forget the side salad.

Came here SOLELY for a gluten free option for our son after browsing a Yelp review of the area (we were there for a dance class). Well, while his gluten free cheese pizza was GREAT and cooked in it's own foil pizza pan (thank you for limiting the cross contamination, Talarico's!!!), our dinners were FANTASTIC! We started with salads - dad had the Chop Chop and loved it. It was light on the dressing so he ordered a side of it - perfect! Mom and I had the beet salads - OH MY GOSH! Delicious! Tons of bleu cheese, walnuts, beets, tomatoes, etc. all tossed in a perfectly light dressing. Every bit was a triumph! Pizza - we all ordered by slice. We got the happy hour prices and could not believe how large the slices were at $4 a pop! Wow - what a deal! Everyone loved it but I got the best one - Oglio. Goat cheese, roasted garlic and arugula. Absolutely loved it! Didn't think I could finish the whole slice but I did! Wish I lived closer....I'd be eating that weekly. Great crust....GREAT crust, too. Thin but not too thin. Chewy but not gummy and pasty. Just perfect! The beer was cold, the Italian soda yummy and the staff was friendly and fun! Can't wait to go back!

We have had several birthday party get togethers at Talarico's and the atmosphere, the people, and the service is impeccable! They are more than accomodating to little ones (we have a 7mo old). Our PEPs group meets there frequently. The go out of the their way to be sure the kids have their food "their size". It is just a great place for families as well as couple, adults, groups. I can say enough great things!!!

Seriously - only get one slice unless you are unreasonably hungry. This is a fun place to hang out. If you're looking for a noisy, cheerful atmosphere, this is it.

What a accommodating restaurant from getting information on the phone from manager to organize the event More than willing to work with a large group The waitress was polite, helpful and patient Drinks were good Food was excellent Definitely will be back

One of my favorite places to hang out, grab a drink and get giant slices of pizza for $3 whoot!

Every pizza lover will have sparkling eyes when your slice arrives. I won't say it's the best pizza I've ever tasted, but it is very tasty! The ingredients are fresh and the staff is very friendly & helpful. Since the slices are so huge, this is a great place to have lunch for a good price in West Seattle.

This place tends to get mixed reviews, but I thought it was fantastic. Great bar. Wait staff was prompt and attentive. We ordered meatballs for an appetizer and they were very authentic, almost as good as my great grandmothers. Pizza was an awesome size, close to NY pizza. It was a great experience that hit home.

Pizza is NY / NJ style. Thin crust and very good, one of the best Jersey style Pizza's in the area. Been there twice now, but times we arrived about 5:45 and order a drink under happy hour, both times we were told that it was after 6. I pointed to my watch and said 'it's not 6 yet, and the waitress said that Happy was closed because the bar clock said 6.' They set their clock ahead so, beware. That didn't sit well with me and my tip illustrated it. Still a good pizza

Took my husband here for his birthday because he loves Pizza. We are from Philly so have high expectations when it comes to pizza. After reading some reviews I was misled. I should have listened to the last reviewer. Crust was like cardboard. The pizza slice is too big to enjoy the experience of eating it. We did have the meatball appetizer which was delicious. The marinara sauce was the best. We also had a glass of wine. Wine was good but I would say it was a short pour for $8 a glass. The place was very loud. Not easy to have a conversation. Service was good. First and last visit but they were busy so I'm sure they will continue to serve bad pizza.

We tried the chicken Parmesan and a chicken pesto dish. Both were dry and boring. The service was very friendly, the beer too warm. There must be better out there!

ok happy hour, 20's rowdy crowd in the evening

Visited this establishment on a busy Friday night, they got us seated quickly and efficiently and our servers were totally on their game. Lots of solid choices on the menu but this place is clearly best known for it's pizza. There are a couple of reasons for that....the most readily obvious is the fact that the pizzas are GINORMOUS. Like, out of this world kind of huge. That would be a draw in and of itself, fortunately these monster pizzas are also delicious! One slice is enough dinner for any normal human being. My daughter had the pepperoni, I ordered the margarita with a balsamic reduction. Both were fantastic. The only downer to the place is that parking could easily be an issue in the busy Junction area of West Seattle, but that should not prevent you from getting down here and stuffing your face!

Fun local pizza place with great happy hour - terrific pizza by the slice. Noisy but fun. Excellent pizza and other Italian meal options. Centrally located in West Seattle Junction.

I moved to West Seattle about a month ago and immediately fell in love with Talarico's. Whether I want to sit down for a meal, hang out at the bar with the friendly bar staff or have a giant slice washed down with a glass of rose, this is my spot. The place can get hectic busy on Friday and Saturday nights when they have karaoke, but there is always a fun time to be had, even if you're just going to sit back and listen. One of the bartenders is always up to sing some tunes as well, which makes it a lot of fun. I've never had bad service, even when the place has been super busy and they always have my water glass filled when I'm sitting at the bar. Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere rounds out the joint. If you're looking for no frills, tasty food, come to Talarico's and share a salad, have a giant slice or one of their pasta dishes. Their artichoke dip is amazing, and where else can you get a single meatball? If you find yourself at the Junction, stop at Talarico's for a slice and some good service.

We were staying nearby so we had dinner here. Huge salad for starter and huge slice of pizza (my son had the spag bol) Service was really good and we entered the quiz which was really good fun!

I liked the food, the pizza slices were huge. The service was okay, staff could use some training. I would definitely recommend this place.

The pizza was great. Huge slices and great priced. The juice drink with 4 kinds of Malibu comes in a bucket, worth the $10. Staff was great. Would come back again if ever in the area!

We discovered this place and then found ourselves back again within 48 hours. As someone who has to eat gluten free, I thought this pizza (might be) the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. It was so good and I had about half of it leftover (and left very, very full). My adult brother ordered two slices of the regular pizza (not gluten free) and that was more than enough, the slices are huge and very reasonably priced. Our party also tried the chicken parmesan which was a hit and got ordered again on our second visit. The owner (I think that is who it was) was very helpful and responsive. We dropped a utensil and she was literally there within seconds with a replacement (even though the place was quite busy). I would highly recommend this place! It is mostly a bar atmosphere but there is an area that is family friendly!
