The scent of bubbling mozzarella is wafting through the Tri-Cities, the ovens at that family-run joint on Clearwater are firing up for another year, and Kennewick locals are already debating whether to fold or fork their slices. It’s pizza season, people. If you’re one of the hungry masses craving that perfect pie—first, we feel you. Second, let’s find it.
The Pizza Box 509
$ | (509) 840-9618 | WEBSITE
The Pizza Box 509 is Kennewick’s undisputed pizza champ. But the sleeper hit on their menu is the cannolis. The crispy shells are filled with a light, not-too-sweet cream that melts in your mouth. Both the pizza and a cannoli will be on my table next time, plus hot honey as a topping and that perfectly melted cheese.
Pizza Hut
$ | (509) 735-3355 | WEBSITE
This Kennewick pizza mainstay is behind one of our favorite casual dining experiences in the area (stuffed crust pizza and crispy breadsticks, anyone?). For a reliable meal, they’re serving up piping hot pies, a flight of three different ranch flavors, and a great inside dining area. The pepperoni ranch and Chipotle ranch receive particularly positive feedback, though the pizza can be a hit-or-miss experience comparable to Domino’s.
Staff is generally efficient with deliveries, though service can be slow at times, and drink refills may be limited. Many find the food enjoyable if they don’t expect an amazing meal, as the restaurant may struggle to follow specific cooking instructions. It’s a solid choice when you’re craving familiar pizza in a comfortable setting.
Excalibur pizza 2
$ | (509) 987-1037 | WEBSITE
There’s only one thing on Excalibur Pizza 2’s menu worth ordering first: a large pepperoni pizza, classic or specialty, with extra cheese and fresh toppings. Devouring the entire pie is the perfect way to spend a casual family dinner before heading out for a movie or game night.
Hubby’s Pizza
$$ | (509) 586-2340 | WEBSITE
This Kennewick spot serves some of the crispiest, most satisfying pizzas in the Tri Cities. The generously sized pies are topped with everything from classic pepperoni to creative gluten-free options, all on that perfectly crunchy crust. Grabbing a pepperoni pizza before letting the kids loose in the outdoor playground should be high on your family’s to-do list.
Round Table Pizza
$ | (509) 783-2204 | WEBSITE
Round Table Pizza is a family-friendly spot in Kennewick that puts a welcoming spin on classic pizza parlor staples, like the Chicken & Garlic gourmet pizza and fresh salad bar with gluten-free crust options. While they won’t be transporting their usual arcade games for kids to play elsewhere, you can still grab a half-and-half pizza with different sauces or a quick meal from the salad bar.
Papa Murphy’s | Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza
$ | (509) 736-3900 | WEBSITE
Papa Murphy’s is one of this year’s most reliable spots—and we’re looking forward to baking their ooey gooey cookie dough next to the oven. The take-and-bake pizza place is also serving gluten-free options with salads and fresh pizzas ready in five minutes or less.
MOD Pizza
$ | (509) 572-9964 | WEBSITE
MOD Pizza is arguably the most efficient meal option in Kennewick—it just requires minimal wait, is easy to customize on the spot, and, if you get one from Akita or Lea, is delicious. The popular spot is bringing fresh ingredients and vegetarian choices, plus salads and a ‘No Name’ cake. The clean environment and friendly service make it a worthwhile visit, even when busy.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (509) 586-1000 | WEBSITE
Domino’s is a quick-service pizza spot in Kennewick (and one of our best pizza picks for 2025). It’s their consistent delivery and takeout operation, and they’ll have well-made, hot pizzas with lightning-fast cook times. To order, there are online options with points toward free pizzas.
Rocco’s Pizza
$ | (509) 572-2259 | WEBSITE
Rocco’s Pizza is a pizza spot in Kennewick that we love for their lunch menu. Their standout offerings include the pesto pizza with chicken, plus fresh salad bar selections, and a cozy atmosphere to enjoy it all in.
