Awesome pizza 🍕 ordered just before closing and had a beer while waiting. Deserves return visit!

Quiet Saturday night so food came out at a good pace and mozzarella sticks were good. The marinara that came with them was just spaghetti sauce that seemed bland and almost too sweet with the salty richness of the mozzarella, but to each his own. The pizza was okay, well cooked no flavors stood out, seemed very sweet as well but maybe I’m just not a fan of sauce being like that. Service was mediocre. She did not seem at all happy to have customers (she did mention to us that if it’s slow they close early, so maybe we disappointed her on an early Saturday night) we asked for another minute on the menu, when she came back she had asked us “is it really that hard to make a decision?” A very poorly executed joke. It wasn’t a horrible experience, but we won’t be back.

Tl;dr - Olympia serves a pretty good pizza with generous amounts of average-quality toppings, although it's ultimately brought down a peg by a lackluster crust. I went into Olympia Pizza & Pasta Italian expecting something like what's served at Snohomish County's other Greco-Italian restaurants (e.g. Contos, Sparta's, Avanti, etc.). I was surprised to find that, at least as far as the pizza, Olympia's doing their own thing and are pretty clearly different. It's good, but it doesn't quite make it to great. A pizza's sauce is the most important element in my opinion and Olympia's is good. It's aggressively seasoned and very garlic and oregano forward. I'd have liked a little more sweetness but wasn't disappointed at all. The pizza I got was weighty with toppings, especially cheese. I definitely got my money's worth. I'd have preferred better quality meat toppings, however. They were pretty run-of-the-mill and nothing really stood out as particularly flavorful. The crust was a bit of a disappointment, however. It was very bready with little flavor other than a subtle burnt taste, although the crust was absolutely not burnt--even a little. It wasn't enough to ruin the pizza or anything, but it was definitely what I liked least about Olympia's pie. Prices are typical for the area and, because of the amount of food I received (couldn't finish the leftovers in three days), I feel like I got very good value for my money. Service over the phone and at the counter was friendly, professional, and quick and the whole takeout experience was good. As this was my first visit, I'm not ready to jump to conclusions about Olympia. I'll undoubtedly be back, but, for now, I'm not unusually eager to do so. I enjoyed my meal, but I hope things improve a little next time.

Old school pizza place, clean and friendly. The food is well made and cooked. It also fits the vibe of '70s pizza joint. Nothing stands out flavor-wise. Sauce was 'tomatoey' without being overly spiced/sweet. Meats were decent, nothing spicy tho. Wanted some heat (like jalapenos or good spicy sausage) but, like the 70s, not a thing. Crust was std med (saw no options) and it had good tooth and a bit of crunch. Her grinder sandwich was decent (toasty hoagie roll, not french bread tho), the meat lovers pizza good example of the era. Pros: hot, fresh food, friendly staff, good spacing between occupied tables, prompt service, clean tho dated interior. Cons: customers were all masked. None of the staff (ALL look to be family) had a mask anywhere in sight. Our wait staff was very friendly and didn't crowd our table which was nice if not going to be masked up. Nothing spicy available for the pizza, even the pepper flakes were mild. Overall, it seems very much like time (and taste buds) haven't changed much since they opened. This can be a good thing as you know they aren't trying to be trendy.
