Pizza Bank & Pastaria in Kirkland

Great place to get a pizza and italian food. Nice atmosphere too.

Mediocre pizza. Lots of crust.

Two of us arrived at 8 p.m. on a Thursday to dine in. With 5 tables sat , the staff turned us away and said they were no longer taking any tables. Terrible business and customer service.

Very good food recommended

Great pizza and chicken Parmesan. Great service, too.

Really good dough and sauce! The mozzarella cheese is super delicious and stretchy!

We had excellent service and the quality of food was fantastic. It is one of our favorite restaurants and will never stop going there

The staff is super nice. Our family enjoys coming to this place.

Home of the best meatball sandwich in the world. Been going here since 1983. I dont live in Washington anymore, but whenever Im back, this is one of my must go places.

service was good. Value for money was good. Good variety. Fine for kids. They use a ton of cheese for their pizza.

Excellent, very delicious , highly recommended, I had garlic chicken pizza, delicious, the price was the best. Vegetarian options: There are about 5 types of vegetarian pizza. And pasta.

Great food and value with their lunch menu.

Best pizza period!

I had the delicious eggplant Parmesan and a fantastic Greek salad. Also the dry bland garlic bread & the Mediterranean pizza.

Ive been eating here for decades and I love the food, so good! I was just in for lunch, a weekday, and it was good however my service was a little slow. The 2 tables next to us were finished with their food when ours was delivered. It was a little chilly in the dining room. Otherwise, very good Italian place.

My family has been going to the Pizza Bank since it opened in the early 80s. Every time we get together for the holidays, we always get some Pizza Bank once or twice. I even had a bank account at Northshore Bank, the prior business there (and Citizens Bank before that). Great food.

Worst pizza Ive had in years. Chuck E Cheese quality. Cheese is put on top of other toppings, so if you have four different pizzas, you have no idea what type of pizza it is. Tried to eat a slice as leftovers the next day. Somehow, it had gotten even worse.

After working as a waiter in an italian restaurant for a number of years Im a little biased on their food and not to say Ive tried all kinds but this was the first time Ive had Lasagna that wasnt layered it was more like a hamburger helper. So Id say stick to the pizza

Been going here since I was a child. Food is always the best.

Pizza Bank is back to their old Self! Tasty red sauce in their pizza, spaghetti and lasagna, ample portions, and attentive service. The Dark Years after the ownership change (2019?) are finally over. Hooray!

Love this place, this is my go to restaurant with my son. Very chill atmosphere, a fun themed coloring mat for kids, and really great and affordable food! My son and I often split a small pizza and have leftovers, and he adores the kids Italian soda and $2 ice cream. The pizza itself is lovely, great crispy puffed up crust and crunchy cheese. Fantastic place, long live Pizza Bank! Parking: I almost always am able to get a spot right by the door, and theres more around the side. Kid-friendliness: Relaxed atmosphere and fun themed coloring menus for kids where they draw a criminal animal that stole all the pizza! Their drawing might get put up on the wall!

Kind people, great food, and great service! Im definitely coming here again.

Very casual, friendly place with great pizza! Super cheesy and delicious that makes me want to visit again soon. the prices are very reasonable and the staff was so kind, too.

Great food and service. Accommodated a large party, 20+, day of. Service was awesome and managed multiple checks.

Pizza Bank has been around since I was a teenager and lived a few blocks away (it was really a bank when I was a kid) Its gone thru a couple ownership changes but the recipes have not. Im not sure where they get their mozzarella but its very different. Went there last night. Live 100 miles away now We were not disappointed. It was totally worth it Plus...the service was great! You wont be disappointed.

You dont get this kind of service very often anymore. Great food, incredible staff, and really reasonably priced

I have been here a couple times.. it was the best (budget) pizza (not cheap but won t cost you $50) around. They ll usually tell you 45-50 minutes wait but that ll have your pizza sitting there getting cold for 20 min. So I asked the cashier to please give me a call/heads up if it gets out early. Sure enough I didn t get any text until the 50 minute mark so I assume it just came out. I arrive to pick up my order, the cashier greets me with a hello and plays a long like my pizza had just came out of the oven. So Happily I tip hefty (considering the extra service to call me) and when I get home I find a half cold pizza, with breads sticks uneatable. Just overall a disappointing experience.

The Greek salad is amazing. Pizza is great too, this place is one of our go to s now

Love the pizza, the service people are nice.

Our all-time favorite pizza of anywhere!! Love it! We usually do take-out!

Good food, but a little chaotic, kids running all over, so not very relaxing but through no fault of the restaurant.

Great staff! Friendly to the drivers. They even have a hot holding area for the drivers picking up food. Makes for a great customer experience when they receive hot food. I love helping them bring customers back. Food is great too!

The best pizza around bar none, crust is perfect and they top it old school way...Supreme pizza

We love Pizza Bank! It s your typical local family pizzeria. Hometown feel! It s delicious and hits the spot if you want a hearty pizza. The only bummer is they don t offer medium pizzas and so for two people it s quite a lot of pizza for a price. For one large pizza and a house salad (full) it s about $52 (including tip).

We came in here because they had grinders on the menu, they were fantastic!

The food is always awesome and the service is great!

I eat here regularly. Its consistently good and the service friendly and prompt.

Awesome family pizza place - the kiddos enjoyed the pizza, and the Italian beef grinder was huge, hot and super tasty! Definitely coming back for more!

Ive known about this place forever I just had never gone. Now Im kicking myself for not going sooner! The food is excellent and was fast, service was excellent and we will definitely be back. The small pizza is the perfect personal size and dont skip dessert!

Like their food ,- tastes like homemade.

Wow!!! Old school classic Pizza. We had vegetarian and supreme. Very fresh veggies and the perfect amount of toppings. Not to mention the great crew that helped us out. I wish they made a Chicago style pie. They would take it all the way to the BANK! Parking: Tons of parking

Went to this place for early family dinner today. Excellent food and great service. We tried all salads except for shrimp, all very fresh and tasty. The pizza is one of the best in the area and the spaghetti with meatballs tasted homemade. Excellent cold beer selection poured just right. This was our first time here, long drive for us but well worth it. We will be back. Highly recommend.

Pizza was very good . Our server was very cheerful and fast.

Great food. Really enjoyed the salad with my shrimp fettuccine.

Quiet place.

What an excellent spot. Came in for spaghetti and beer at 530 on thur. Immediately seated and knew this place isn t messing around as there is plenty of staff to attend all aspects. The soup was excellent bc the temp was just right. And some of the best spaghetti I ve had in a long time. Again the temperature was just right. Someone is paying attention to the details. My waitress Sheryl obviously took pride in her job for initial impressions on out to the final bill. Her preparation (experience?) was obvious. Thx.

Foods always great

Pepperoni pizza is delicious

We used to live in the area and we would visit multiple times a year and on a recent trip to the area... we made a point to have dinner at Pizza Bank and the great food and quality are just as great as we remember - highly recommend

Such good salad, pasta, pizza and beer!!! Servers are so friendly too! Kid-friendliness: Great for families, sports on TVs Food : 5/5 |

Vegetarian options: A couple of options for veggie pizza..more options for vegetarian pasta and salads Food

Weve loved everything weve tried here so far! Favorites are old #29 for pizza, and for pasta weve loved the Tuscan shrimp Alfredo and the pasta primavera. The staff has always been very kind and friendly to our toddler which is a HUGE plus :)

Went there with a cash tip. Asked for a bag to carry our food and a girl with shoulder length h hair got all huffy and puffy with me! Ordered the Bonnie and Clyde and it was disgusting wayyy to much cheese! Salty! I also ordered the artichoke dip and it looked like slop I. A metal tin and no cheese melted like the last time we ordered it so now because it was cold when I got it it s in my oven baking with my mozzarella on the top of it. Then we asked for a bag and the girl looked at me and was freaked out and irritated at the fact that I asked for a bag because I didn t leave a tip when I first ordered kind of strange will never go there again, because of the food was disgusting and the attitudes were even worse get real very sad that we were treated this way. All I wanted was a bag to walk home and that little snatch got all huffy and puffy. The girl with the long, dark curly hair, however was great and I asked her what the deal was with the energy there , apparently that little short haired girl has a cocky attitude and wanted to make sure that because I didn t leave a credit card tip that she wasn t willing to help me when I had cash in my pocket but I kept the cash in my pocket because I m not gonna reward bad behavior. Not happy way too much cheese on the pizza. Things tasted completely off and there s no consistency in the food will not return.

I went in and the food was pretty good, will be coming back again. I forgot my servers name but she had short red hair, sorry I m bad with names. Loved her so much! she was so friendly and nice. Def will be coming back. Get the cheese bread.

We use to live in Kirkland now we live in SW Washington and when we are in the area Pizza Bank is a must stop.

Very good, I had the summer salad a piece of pizza and dessert, it was delicious. We will go back!

I didnt dine in but they had outdoor seating which looked lovely and indoor as well. We texted them when we arrived with the make and model of our car and they brought the pizza out to us when it was ready. Tons of cheese. It needed more sauce in my opinion but overall I will revisit as one of my favorite pizza places.

Good toppings

Had large Roadhouse pizza asked for well done. Came to us not well done and sent back and came to us well done witch was PERFECT.

Staff was extremely professional and friendly. She made us all feel welcome including my 7 year old grandson. Love Pizza Bank!

Best service we have had in the area, waiter was really attentive, the pizza was delicious and the atmosphere just right for a family lunch Parking: Free parking right in front of the restaurant

Super good pizza!!!

Best pizza in Kirkland!!

I took a friend to lunch for a birthday celebration Our food was pretty good, the service was great Prices were on par with todays restaurants. I will go back! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for handicapped.

Such an underrated place. Bad location but amazing food at super reasonable prices, and fantastic service.

Some of the best food Ive ever had, the staff are amazing, the restaurant is quiet and relaxed à lot of the time. If you go there I recommend yoy try the Italian Sodas Vegetarian options: Some very good veggie pizzas Parking: Not a lot of spots but they are large and comfortable

Truly great pizza, if you need a pie, get it from here

Best pizza ever, my whole family loves it! Im usually not the kind of person to get just pepperoni pizza but this place does it just perfectly, its so rich in flavor. I didnt love the pasta and some other things I tried, but thats mostly because nothing could ever compete with the pizza.

Pizza Bank has THE BEST gluten free pizza!! As someone who is celiac, I appreciated that our server asked if our request for a GF pizza crust was a preference or an allergy. The pizza we ordered had meatballs and our server came back to inform us the meatballs were made with bread and asked if we wanted them changed to another topping. As a celiac pizza lover, can t speak more highly than Pizza Bank.

Wish they d bring back the free bread with entrees.

The pizza is excellent

Some of the best Pizza in the area. If im in the area....Im ordering a pizza. Been around for a long time.

Atmosphere is pedestrian, service is friendly, but the pizza is AMAZING!! we come from Edmonds to get a pizza!

Food

First time there, last time there. Got two pizzas, both had no sauce and both were doughy. Not worth the price. The salad looked like a bag of shredded ice berg lettuce dumped on a plate and covered with cheese and olive.

Always a great place to eat.

Love their pizzas!

Why is the pizza so good. Good crust, lots of cheese and toppings. A very specific pizza style

Excellent pizza. Great staff.

Excellent pizza. Friendly staff.

Super yummy, solid Italian comfort food Im addition to fabulous pizza.

Had a dinner salad and a Suprema large pizza. Still awsum after all these years!

Just had dinner with my family it was Ok, nothing special which is a Shame this has been one of my favorite restaurants for over 30 years service was slow they made the wrong pizza and had to Remake another 20 minutes. It will be Spartas for us .

Great pizza, love pizza toppings under the cheese.

I love the specialty pizzas

too greesy

Unique and delicious pizza place. True neighborhood pizza joint. Pastas are damn good too.

Best pizza in Washington state so far for me

The meatball were outstanding so is the pizza..

Get the point break pizza, its the best!

The server was super nice and the food is very economical in price. The Caesar salad was good. I didn t care for my entree though my party was satisfied with theirs. The place was kind of filthy. The bathroom was dirty and really warm! No circulating air at all it was so stuffy. I think it s probably good here for the nostalgia of it if you ve frequented here growing up or something but I probably won t be back.

Great pizza, great service, best pizza crust ever. I wont get pizza anywhere else.

Small neighborhood pizza and pasta spot. Usually easy to get a seat. I usually get baked pasta if Im not getting pizza.

pretty good if you are in the area. A step up from chain pizzas.

I absolutely loved this place. They recently received a beautiful uplift of inner decor. Looks fantastic and definitely feels at home. The pizza was incredible. The gluten free crust was above average. We got a veggie and one of the specialty meat pizza. Amazing!!! The Caesar salad was one of the best I have had in a long while. The service was supreme. I would highly recommend this joint!!!

Great food, reasonable prices.

I put this place in my top 3 pizza places to date! putting the sauce and toppings first with the cheese on top is my FAVORITE! Really close to home so we get them quite often. Good portions, and a good online system for ordering. We have yet to dine in, but would love to!

Really great family favorite!!!

Best pizzas ever! If you are a meat lover who love to have meat and cheese generously layered on your pizza, then this place is for you! I have tried so many pizza places in WA state but have not yet found a pizza that top this! Recommendation: Italian meat combo or most wanted

This was a bank before it was a pizza restaurant. You can dine in the old bank vault. Did you know the first Bitcoin purchase was actually pizza? This location does not take Bitcoin. But you can still give them cash in exchange for a pizza party with all your friends. It makes more sense than exchanging paper money for paper statements or robots that are involved in banking. No offense if you are a robot with money or feelings.

Most amazing pizza!

I picked up a pizza around 3:30 PM on Sunday 07-17-22. Ate a few slices and immediately felt sick soon after. It s now 7:30 PM and I just puked it all up. Must be using spoiled food products because I almost never get sick when I go out to eat. Super strange experience.

Too much cheese and I loved it!

After the second owner the food quality has gone down. My favorite was the lasagna with meat sauce and meatballs. It is just gross. The sauce is saturated with a sea of onions. Never was like this before. The pizza quality has gone down. Does not taste as good. I am hoping one day the owner goes back oto all the original ingredients Pizza bank used for many years. I have come to this place for 33 years. The people are nice.

One of the best pizzas in town. Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Pizza and pasta. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.

Always excellent!!!! This is my favorite pizza shop!!

Good pizza, great service. Affordable and pleasant.

Had a great meal here. The $1 garlic bread is excellent and their pizza is great. Ordered the Hawaii five oh pizza, and was very happy with it. Parking: Parking can be a little tight when its busy, but was not bad on my last visit.

Great place for lunch!

The pizza is always delicious and the outside patio is really nice to sit out on.

Consistently delicious. Prices remain reasonable. They even bring your food out to your car for takeout orders.

Ive been eating there since they opened in 1983 and in my opinion they have the best lasagna Ive ever eaten, not including home made.

I was really excited to try there pizza as we were told the owner/ management was making this place traditional Italian I couldnt get wings. But ok and our pizza wasnt good at all not for $30 I believe the $5 pizza across the street was better. I hope there entres are better and have the Italian passion.

We went here for lunch today for the first time since 2014! It s Wednesday and twas around 2pm-ish. We had pizza, salads, a grinder, garlic bread, Prosecco, soda and Italian soda. The service was so very pleasant and the food was excellent. My guy was so impressed with the salad that he actually ordered a 2nd one. He said it was the best side salad he s had in his life! We ll definitely put pizza bank back on our go-to list.

As tasty as always

Great pizza

Great lunch special. Gluten free options too. Food was good and great service, good prices. Parking: Easy, plenty

I m old enough to remember when this was an actual bank. Been coming here since it opened. Even with various changes in ownership the exceptional quality remains the same. A Kingsgate institution.

Been coming here for decades. The food and service is always good. Pizzas are tasty (Roadhouse is standard) and theres just something about their original crust. They streamlined their menu during the plague, but I do wish theyd bring back some of the other pasta dishes including the spicy shrimp.

A hidden jewel for all American food in Kirkland. Chopped salad was simple but good. The half and half pizza we got was awesome. Reasonable prices. We heard its a one of few long standing family run businesses in the area. Support local! Parking: Plenty of parking on site and across the street Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. They gave our kids pages to color and write on and even display some of that amazing art all framed up :) Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Best service and pizza in town

Great meatball and pineapple puzza

The pizza is good. The crust is a bit of a different texture, if youre used to NY/NJ areated, chewy style, but good and crunchy. There is an adequate amount (often a problem elsewhere) of decent tomato sauce. The toppings taste fresh. Good bite/dollar ratio. (And its good reheated thenext day.)

Excellent pizza and pasta dishes!

We went to Pizza Bank on our 1st date 35 yrs ago & we love returning over & over again. Their career is wonderful

Very disappointed!! I grew up going to Pizza Bank and the food was amazing!!! Since the new owners (who own Cafe Veloce) took over the food quality has gone down. The pizza crust is flavorless not like the Pizza Bank crust it use to be. The cheese is different and they now put the toppings on top of the cheese. Even the feta dressing tastes different. They don t make pasta dishes after 8pm either. What kind of restaurant is this!!! We will never come back!!

This place is a hidden gem! They make awesome loaded style pizzas: the toppings are piled high and the cheese is melted on top. Theyre a bit different than your standard pizza and they taste amazing!

Always a favorite. Everything on the menu is a win.

Great food. New owners giving good service. Reasonable prices. Local institution for several decades. Building actually housed a bank previously.

Such amazing Cesar salads!!!

Amazing deep dish pizza. They go overboard with the cheese.

Great pizza, salads and sandwiches

Food was fresh and service was excellent!

They have gotten better but food was better with old ownership.

We had one of our first family get togethers at this old favorite restaurant to celebrate a family birthday, we had great service and an excellent meal.

Food was fantastic!

Just ordered takeout for the first time from Pizza Bank and was very happy with everything! I got the Reservoir Dogs pizza which was 5 stars, I got the spinach artichoke dip which I can only give 3 stars because of the amount and it was a little burnt- but I think if I would have ordered it to eat there it would have been 5 stars! Lastly I got some ice cream and it was 4 stars- slightly freezer burned but still delightful. Would definitely go back for there pizza!

Got a custom pizza via online order. Excellent crust: nice thickness, crunchy bottom without being greasy, and good flavor. They were out of one of our requested toppings and called within minutes to tell us and made a simple switch. Delivered right to our car.

Great Pizza!

Could use some good cooks

Pizza is good here. Cool ambiance inside. Good place to watch the Ms game.

Comfort food thats consistent with good service. I really like their Greek salad with house made creamy feta dressing. Gluten free options are available.

My favorite pizza hands down. The Road House pie has been my jam for 15 years.

Best Pizza in town! Prices are reasonable and left overs are still good for breakfast

Not quite what it used to be but I hear it has new owners as of the last 2 years. The food still not bad, I usually do take out and the Eggplant Parmesan was really good.

Best pizza around IMO! Great service and comfy atmosphere!

Best italian pizza on the East Side of the Lake

Love this place. Best pizza around

Best food ever
