The hunt for the perfect slice in Tri Cities is no small feat… this area is packed with pizzerias that bring their own unique spin, from wood-fired pies to classic take-and-bake. Whether you crave gooey cheese pulls, crust with a crunch, or toppings that get a little wild, you’re guaranteed to find a new favorite around every corner.
Let’s get to it.
Bombing Range Brewing Company
Bombing Range Brewing Company in Richland has nailed the brewpub formula. They fire classic Margherita pizzas in a wood-burning oven until the crust is charred and crisp. You can also choose pies loaded with smoky peppers and Oaxaca cheese. The Crazy Buffalo pizza, topped with buffalo chicken, remains a fan favorite. Gluten-free crusts ensure dietary needs are met.
A shaded, dog-friendly patio invites guests to bring pets along. Families fit comfortably here, with a kids menu that features both pizzas and seven mac and cheese options, including poblano and BIGPopper. Seasonal beers rotate on tap, pairing perfectly with the menu.
Inside, bright walls and communal tables set an easygoing mood. On weekends, live music fills the adjacent beer garden. Pizzas range from $12 to $18, and pints cost $6 to $9, keeping outings affordable. Since opening in 2015, founders Mike and Dashia Hopp have focused on local Northwest ingredients, housemade dough, and rotating brews. Located near Horn Rapids Road, this neighborhood spot is ideal for laid-back gatherings centered on cold beer and hot pizza.
Greek Islands Cuisine
Since 2011, Greek Islands Cuisine in Richland has brought family recipes to the neighborhood. Owners Art and Nikos Danakos prepare scratch-made dough and bake 14-inch pies in brick ovens. The atmosphere is counter-service casual, with just enough seating for a reliable lunch crowd.
Pizzas like Art’s Mistake, Meaty Greek, and Chef’s Special layer feta cheese and roasted garlic cream sauce beneath mozzarella. In addition to hearty pies, the menu includes calzoni, gyros, chicken souvlaki, and Greek fries smothered in feta. Don’t skip the baklava for dessert if you still have room.
Signature pizzas run about $20, while crisp salads nearly qualify as standalone meals. Guests can dine inside, spill onto the small patio, place takeout orders, request delivery, or arrange catering for larger events. Every dish reflects a straightforward approach to Greek comfort food and scratch cooking.
Papa Murphy’s | Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza
Many Papa Murphy’s locations sit next to supermarkets or pharmacies, ready for quick pizza pickup. There’s no dine-in space—just a bright storefront and a counter where you place your order.
Daily-made dough means pies never taste like a frozen alternative. Choose from hand-tossed thin, classic pan with a good rise, gluten-free, or cauliflower crust. For lower fat options, the Gourmet Delite line delivers extra-crispy, slim slices.
Topping choices include fresh, never-frozen vegetables and meats. Standard combos like Murphy’s Combo and Chicken Bacon Artichoke share shelf space with seasonal offerings such as Thai Chicken. Side salads and cookie dough rounds out the selection. Prices stay in the family-friendly range, and there’s no tipping required—just pick up, bake at home, and enjoy.
Papa Murphy’s | Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza
Papa Murphy’s is in its own little pizza universe, one where you pick up a whole pie—and then get all the glory of baking it at home, no chef’s hat required. This take-and-bake chain skips the fancy dining area (honestly, it’s just a counter and, maybe, a kid grinning behind a mound of flour), focusing instead on scratch-made dough, a pile of toppings, and letting you do the rest in your oven. So if you’ve ever wanted that fresh-baked pizza smell in your own kitchen, here’s your shot.
You’ll see crust styles for every pizza personality. There’s the original, the super-thin “Artisan,” pan crust if you like it thick, the giant XLNY, and yes, gluten-free and cauliflower crust for anyone skipping the usual stuff. Signature pizzas have names like the Cowboy, Murphy’s Combo, and Gourmet Delite Chicken Bacon Artichoke, which honestly sounds way fancier than Friday night should be. Vegetarians get their pick, too. Price-wise, it hangs right in the typical “family pizza night” lane, but don’t be shocked if gluten-free hits your wallet a tad more.
There’s no hot slice handed to you at the counter, but you do get antibiotic-free chicken, fancy sauces, mini kits for kids, salad tubs, and even cookie dough. Just don’t forget to preheat your oven.
Rocco’s Pizza
At Rocco’s Pizza, a relaxed atmosphere welcomes families, friends, and sports fans. A game area keeps kids entertained while patio seating accommodates dogs.

Papa Murphy’s | Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza

Flatbreads here use hand-tossed dough or a gluten-free brown-rice crust. Global toppings appear on the Tuscan flatbread—prosciutto, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes—while the Pizza Bianca swaps tomato sauce for Alfredo and truffle oil. A Thai Chicken pie adds peanut sauce and crunchy vegetables, and a classic Buffalo Chicken flatbread delivers a measured kick.
Most flatbreads cost between $13 and $18, with gluten-free crusts nearing $20.
