A Grown-Up Space for Serious Flavor

Wicked Pie isn’t designed for highchairs and kids’ menus—it’s a sanctuary for adult palates craving innovation, quality, and bold flavors. Open seven days a week, the restaurant operates from 11 AM to 10 PM (Sunday–Thursday) and stays open until 11 PM on weekends, making it the perfect spot for both lunch outings and laid-back evening meals.

Inside, the ambiance is both historic and hip. Housed in a beautifully restored 1900s building, Wicked Pie showcases original tin ceilings and exposed brick walls, bringing a turn-of-the-century charm to a modern dining experience.

The Pizza Whisperers Behind the Magic

Behind every pie is a team of culinary artisans affectionately known as “Pizza Whisperers.” Led by Adrian (“Boss Man”), the kitchen runs on skill, passion, and a playful dose of personality. Team members like Justin (“Silk”), The Dough Master, and Cheyanne (“Wobbles”), The Food Prep Queen, aren’t just employees—they’re part of the Wicked Pie identity.

This fun yet professional environment fuels both creativity and consistency in the kitchen, adding personal flair to every dish while cultivating real connections with loyal customers.

Every beverage is chosen to enhance the flavors on the plate and elevate the entire dining experience.

A Family Legacy, 50 Years in the Making

Wicked Pie’s success is rooted in a powerful family tradition. It began in 1946 when Italo Carsiello left Rome, Italy, and brought his old-world culinary expertise to the Pacific Northwest. Encouraged by famed restaurateur Vic Rosellini, Italo worked his way up, saved every penny, and eventually opened his own restaurant.

That passion and dedication have been passed down through the generations, culminating in the opening of Wicked Pie by the Anderson family—Randal, Mary, Randy, and Lisa. Their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients—like daily hand-tossed dough and whole milk mozzarella—ensures that each pizza reflects decades of heritage and craftsmanship.

Even the sauce carries history: it’s still made from Italo’s original savory, zesty recipe, a tribute to the roots that shaped the family’s culinary journey.

The Crown Jewel of Downtown Puyallup

With its eclectic menu, welcoming vibe, and historic setting, Wicked Pie has become a fixture in downtown Puyallup’s thriving food scene. Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time visitor, you’ll find that Wicked Pie offers more than a meal—it delivers a culinary experience designed for discerning adults with a taste for bold flavors and community spirit.
