Farrelli's Pizza

I ordered takeout from Farrelli's Wood Fire Pizza, 4870 Yelm Highway Southeast, Lacey, WA. It's located in the Safeway shopping center at Yelm Hwy and College Street.

I ordered a 12 inch Fawaiian Pizza, with an "F" not an "H". The cost was $14.49 before tax and tip. Farrelli's describes it as their "'classic pizza' loaded with Canadian Bacon, mozzarella / Provolone and sweet pineapple is a sure "Apple Fired" hit." The crust was hand tossed with the taste and consistency of Naan Bread from the Middle East. It was very good. The marinara sauce was tangy and delicious. The Canadian Bacon had cooled some, but that is likely just due to the length of the drive home. The pineapple was plentiful and sweet.

I polished off this pizza in about 15-20 minutes once I arrived home. This would be a good pizza for two for a lunch, or a large meal for one. If you are a light eater, then I do not recommend trying to eat this pizza in one sitting by yourself.

Overall, I would have to rate this pizza as a B+ on the takeout scale. The dining-in scale would give this pizza an A.

Pizza represents a reward to me. It's not often that I eat pizza anymore, so when I do, I order good pizza, and I enjoy it. This restaurant is one of five in the Farrelli's chain. In my opinion, Farrelli's does a better job of making pizza than any of the nationwide chains, whether it's dine-in, takeout or delivery. I would rather support local business in these tough economic times, and when the local guy has better food than the national guys, we both win.
