Pizza debates can get surprisingly intense.
Some people swear by wood-fired Neapolitan pies with blistered crusts. Others want a thick layer of cheese, a sturdy crust, and enough toppings to feed a small village.
Then there are the pizza purists who believe simplicity is king and the adventurous eaters who see pizza as a blank canvas for creativity.
So when Kitsap County residents were recently asked a simple question — where can you find the best pizza in Kitsap County? — the answers came fast.
There was plenty of disagreement, a few passionate defenses of favorite local spots, and even one resident who argued the best pizza comes from their own kitchen.
But one restaurant received more recommendations than any other: Toad House Pizza Pub in Bremerton.
Why Many Locals Consider Toad House The Best Pizza In Kitsap County
Unlike some restaurant debates where one place wins by a landslide, the Kitsap pizza conversation was surprisingly competitive.
Evergreen Pizza Co., Campana’s, Tessio, Spiro’s, Silver City, Brooklyn Pizzeria, Tony’s, and Westside Pizza all earned loyal supporters.
Still, Toad House Pizza Pub appeared more often than any other restaurant in the discussion.
“I really like Toad House. It’s our go-to,” one resident wrote.
Even critics who preferred other pizza styles generally agreed Toad House belonged in the conversation.
That broad support helped the East Bremerton pizzeria emerge as the community’s most-mentioned favorite.
What Makes Toad House Different?
Located at 1405 NE McWilliams Road in Bremerton, Toad House Pizza Pub has built a reputation as one of Kitsap’s go-to destinations for handcrafted brick-oven pizza.
The veteran-owned and women-owned restaurant combines the atmosphere of a neighborhood pub with a family-friendly pizza house.
Inside, guests will find a casual dining room, classic rock playing in the background, televisions showing major sporting events, and an outdoor patio for warmer days.
The restaurant has become something of a community gathering spot, attracting everyone from families and sports fans to craft beer enthusiasts.
Beyond pizza, Toad House serves salads, wings, sandwiches, appetizers, cocktails, cider, and an extensive selection of craft beer.
What To Order At Toad House Pizza Pub
One reason Toad House stands out is the sheer variety on its menu.
The restaurant offers more than 20 specialty pizzas, ranging from traditional combinations to creations that push well beyond the standard pepperoni-and-cheese formula.
Among the customer favorites:
Salty Orchard Pizza
This sweet-and-savory pie combines mozzarella, prosciutto, green apples, bleu cheese, fresh basil, and a honey drizzle.
It sounds unconventional, which may be exactly why so many customers love it.
Toadal Protein Pizza
For meat lovers, this pizza piles on pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and salami atop mozzarella and red sauce.
Subtle? No.
Popular? Absolutely.
Bourbon BBQ Pizza
Featuring bourbon barbecue sauce, shredded pork, chicken, bacon, roasted garlic, grilled onions, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions, this pie feels more like a backyard cookout served on a crust.
Other notable menu items include the Winning Combo, the spicy and creamy What’s Poppin’, and the boldly named Let’s Be Frank, which combines goat cheese, chicken, garlic cream sauce, pepperoncini, and Frank’s Hot Sauce.
More Than Just Pizza
A surprising number of pizza restaurants struggle once customers venture beyond the pie menu.
Toad House appears to take the opposite approach.
Its toasted garlic cheese bread remains a customer favorite, while the wings come in flavors including Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper Hot Honey, Buffalo, and Frank’s Hot.
The sandwich lineup is equally ambitious. One menu item is literally called the “Best Sandwich You’ve Had All Day.”
That’s either incredible confidence or an invitation to prove them wrong.
The restaurant also serves a steak sandwich topped with mushrooms and house-made horseradish sauce, along with a garlic chicken club loaded with bacon, spinach, tomato, and melted provolone.
The Best Pizza In Kitsap County? Locals Had Plenty Of Other Opinions
While Toad House received the most mentions, it certainly wasn’t the only restaurant with devoted fans.
Campana’s earned praise for its classic pizzeria atmosphere and unique menu.
Evergreen Pizza Co. attracted several supporters, including one resident who called it “the best” and praised its patio, cocktails, live music, and downstairs gelato shop.
Brooklyn Pizzeria earned one of the strongest endorsements in the discussion.
Spiro’s Pizza also generated attention, including one memorable observation.
Then there was perhaps the most confident response of all.
“My house. I ferment the dough overnight and toss the pizza in the smoker the next day with all the fixings. It’s amazing.”
Honestly, that’s a tough restaurant reservation to get.
The Verdict
No pizza debate will ever be completely settled.
The perfect slice is ultimately a matter of personal preference, and Kitsap County has no shortage of strong contenders.
But based on this community discussion, Toad House Pizza Pub earned more recommendations than any other restaurant, making it the closest thing locals have to a consensus pick for the best pizza in Kitsap County.
Whether you’re a fan of traditional pepperoni, wood-fired specialties, or creative toppings involving apples, honey, and bleu cheese, Toad House appears to be where many Kitsap residents would tell you to start.
