Redmond boasts countless pizza joints, but navigating endless topping combos and price tiers can cloud your cravings. Simplify your decision—and your bill—by choosing a spot with straightforward excellence. Most of these pizzerias deliver consistent quality at clear prices, though we included a couple with standout specialty pies. Because, let’s be honest, sometimes you just need that perfect slice.
Pizza Twist
$ | (425) 861-9000 | WEBSITE
If you think memorable pizza requires red-checkered tablecloths and Italian flags draped across the walls, Pizza Twist is here to teach you a valuable lesson. This vibrant spot is known for its unique fusion experience and has a menu packed with creative options. Get the Butter Chicken Pizza, and enjoy it with the perfectly crisp crust that arrives warm and fresh, especially if you order for delivery (which we recommend).
Zaucer Pizza
$ | (425) 376-2700 | WEBSITE
Whether you’re actually a sci-fi fan (or just thought you were last night), a weekend evening craving for something fun is bound to catch up with you at one point or another. Enter Zaucer Pizza, a pizza spot in Redmond where you won’t find a bunch of people yammering and causing a scene. Instead, you’ll find a lively spot with captivating sci-fi decor and retro-style video games in the back.
It’s perfect if your crew has a collective need for entertainment or just wants a last-minute spot that can fit you all. The pizza isn’t fancy and the beers are standard, but it’s the most affordable of the creative pizza spots and perfect if you care more about the atmosphere than the artistry.
MOD Pizza
$ | (425) 307-1150 | WEBSITE
Grabbing a pizza at MOD is a Redmond family tradition. The counter-service spot near the tech campuses is full of Microsoft engineers who have spent all day debugging cloud infrastructure, animatedly debating the merits of Python versus Rust. Don’t let that intimidate you, though, because the dairy-free cheese option is both thoughtful and delicious.
Instead of sticking with the standard build-your-own approach (your choice of crust, sauce, and unlimited toppings for around $12), try the plant-based cheese with roasted vegetables and the spicy sausage, which pairs perfectly with their house-made lemonade.
Spark Pizza
$$ | (425) 898-4106 | WEBSITE
This wood-fired pizza spot in Redmond is a great place to bring friends for fantastic pizza (we love the Citrus Mistress and Buffalo Soldier). Grab a seat near the fire oven and order drinks while you wait—our favorites, because they’re cold and refreshing. The menu here also includes meatballs and burrata—the latter is a nice touch for anyone wanting an appetizer. They say parking can be tricky, but they usually don’t rush you about it.
Can Am Pizza
$ | (425) 747-7777 | WEBSITE
Can Am Pizza feels like two separate dining experiences with one mission: to be a more adventurous version of your neighborhood pizza joint. Up front, the Redmond spot is all bright colors and family-friendly chaos with that play section for kids. But the food itself transports you straight to a bustling Indian kitchen. The butter chicken pizza is a spectacle, complete with tender chicken, rich sauce, and a perfectly cooked crust that might make you think you’re biting into a fresh naan.
To be clear, you’re coming here for that incredible fusion of tandoori flavors piled high on pizza dough, not for the uneven parking lot or the lack of wheelchair access. The paneer butter masala pizza doesn’t just satisfy vegetarian cravings but is hella delicious, which is in line with the overall bold experience here.
Tropea Ristorante Italiano
$$ | (425) 448-9982 | WEBSITE
Dinner at Tropea Ristorante Italiano isn’t that different from lunch (the menu is mostly the same), except you can get larger portions and on weekends, a bustling date night crowd. The NY Italian restaurant in Redmond serves hearty dishes like perfectly-seasoned Pollo al Tartufo with black truffle sauce and creamy Rigatoni Zii Teresa (which you can enjoy with a glass of wine for around $30). But be forewarned: The food here is flavorful and you might be tempted to order everything on the menu.
Papa Murphy’s | Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza
$ | (425) 836-5800 | WEBSITE
Papa Murphy’s take-and-bake situation is exactly where you want to be on a weeknight when your family dinner needs a little something extra. The pizza spot does that in two ways: by offering a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere with easy parking and providing vegetarian options, gluten-free choices, and non-dairy cheese. Make no mistake—you’re coming here for pizza that customers praise as the best in years.
The service from staff like Grace is attentive even during busy times, ensuring a friendly experience that makes it an excellent choice for families with various dietary needs.
Indian Pizza Junction
Indian Pizza Junction is your spot if you’re looking for an authentic biryani experience in the Seattle area—or better yet, a place to enjoy proper Indian cuisine with friends. Frankly, the Hyderabadi biryani is so consistently praised that we got tired of hearing about it. The Redmond restaurant offers a welcoming ambiance for in-person dining and includes a menu of Indian favorites. Like, seriously authentic. Think Gongura Paneer biryani, Veg 65, and Chicken 65.
However, we say skip the takeout altogether and go for the dine-in service. As the regulars say, it’s a proper good experience, hence the reputation.
