Best Pizza on Bainbridge Island: A Local's Guide
Bainbridge Island has a surprisingly strong pizza scene for a community of 25,000 people. Whether you're after a quick slice after the ferry or a proper sit-down dinner, here are the best options on the island.
Bruciato
The best pizza on Bainbridge Island. Bruciato serves Neapolitan-style pizza with a wood-fired crust — charred at the edges, light in the middle, and topped with quality ingredients. The margherita is a benchmark; the seasonal specials rotate and are worth trying. The space is small and fills up fast on weekends — arrive early or expect to wait.
Style: Neapolitan / wood-fired Location: Winslow Way, downtown Bainbridge Island Best for: Date night, special occasion, or anyone who takes pizza seriously
Café Nola
Not a dedicated pizza place, but Café Nola puts out a consistently good thin-crust pizza alongside their broader Pacific Northwest menu. It's a reliable option if you want pizza in a more full-service dinner setting with a strong wine list.
Style: Thin crust, Pacific Northwest ingredients Location: Winslow Way Best for: Dinner with wine
The Harbour Public House
A waterfront pub with a casual menu that includes pizza — solid bar-style pies if you're here for the views and a beer rather than a dedicated pizza night. Good value, good location on Eagle Harbor.
Style: Pub pizza Location: Eagle Harbor waterfront Best for: Casual lunch or dinner, good beer list
Mora Iced Creamery (Post-Pizza Stop)
Not pizza, but worth mentioning for the walk after: Mora's Argentine-style gelato is a Bainbridge institution. It's a short walk from Bruciato and the perfect finish to a pizza dinner on the island.
Pizza Delivery on Bainbridge Island
Delivery options are limited on the island by geography. Most places focus on dine-in or takeout. Bruciato does not deliver — it's a come-in experience. For delivery, check current availability through DoorDash or Uber Eats for smaller operations that rotate on and off.
Planning Your Visit
Getting here: Washington State Ferry from Seattle (35 min) or drive across the Agate Pass Bridge from Kitsap County. Winslow downtown is walkable from the ferry terminal.
Timing: Bruciato fills up Thursday–Sunday evenings. Arrive by 5:30 or after 8 PM for the best chance at a table without a wait.
