Varsity Pizza and Wings

This is our new favorite pizza place. The staff is nice the food is amazing and the pizza is worth the extra cost.

Can’t give a fair review because they have yet to let me eat there. Went in at opening time, doors were locked. Waved to the man inside and he ignored us so we left. Came back at 8:20 pm when a Google search says they’re open until 9pm and they told us they were closed. Not convinced they even serve food there as I have yet to see it…

Pizza is great, wings are raw. Skip them. Beer is served in warm glasses.
Just order the pizza and run.

Been here 4 times in the past month, tried many of the pizzas, the calzones, and the grinder sandwiches. Top notch meats and cheeses on all of them, and the crust is very good for such a small «chain» pizza place. (2 locations). Every time I bring pizzas back into the big city from here, people rave about how good and unique they taste.
I would highly recommend anyone to try it, but don’t expect your typical bland national brand pizzas. They have many unique flavor combinations and the ingredients are some of he best I’ve ever tasted.
My favorite pizzas are the signature Varsity pizza, and the Buffalo Chicken pizza. The grinder sandwiches satisfy like none other l, for a very affordable price. Leftovers from here are rare, but are always sought after if they do make the journey home. I rarely see those leftovers the next day however… someone always finds them in the fridge and devours them, before I can get back to enjoy them.

Good pizza. Got it my way. Grease from cheese made inside bottom of crust a little soft, but that is how it use to be. Reminds me of the good of places. Just down the street so will be back

The food was okay, nothing too great. The real issue was, there were flies EVERYWHERE. When the food came, the flies were just chillin on the pizza, or flying around my face. Seriously made me lose my appetite.

Pretty decent stuff! The garlic bread really leaves something to be desired though.

I have been in to Varsity a few times but I cannot say the food has won me over. It’s not bad… But it is not great either. Just middle of the road for food.

Disappointed. While my husband and I love pizza our son does not. Our son however loves their cheesy bread when made properly. We usually order the cheesy bread with extra cheese for him. Recently we placed an order for pick up. When I arrived to pick it up there was only one employee. She was apparently waiting for other staff to arrive. My order was ready in a few minutes and we were on our way home after a long afternoon. Sit down to dinner, open the cheesy bread and was disappointed that they had indeed forgot the «extra cheese». Now usually this wouldn’t be an issue but you see with their bread, if you don’t order extra cheese it’s like garlic flavored cardboard. Not good. But with extra cheese, it’s yummy and gooey like it should be. I called the restaurant to let them know they forgot to make it how I asked and all I got was «Oh ok. I can let the manager know for you». Insert –_​_​_​_​– here. No offer to make another one, or give me a credit for a future order. Nothing. Not great customer service in my opinion. Now I wasn’t looking for a freebee but I expected some acknowledgement that I was a dissatisfied customer.

Ordered the Greek salad, a Chop salad and 10 wings. Lettuce was fresh, toppings were very sparse. Hubby’s Chop salad got the feta cheese that should have been on my Greek salad and I got a sprinkling of Mozzerella cheese on my salad. No meat on my salad and a couple pieces pepperoni on his. Wings were deep fried, no sauce on them, dip on the side. The bread was great! My beer was good. But, disappointing. Put some toppings on the dang salad! Wish I had taken a photo.

Never ordered from Varsity & I called to order a pizza & first asked if they have any specials today & the girl who answered the phone said to me «what do you mean»? So I explained I was wondering if they have any specials on pizza, wings, on food and she was silent then she said it depends on what you want? At this point I’m very confused and the girl was extremely rude and not willing to help or answer any questions. I said we will order somewhere else and hung up. My husband told me to call back & ask for a manger which I did and spoke to another rude young girl who listened to what I told her how the conversations went but instead of offering help she rudely told me that the other girl I spoke to was new & I said I understand being new but she doesn’t know if you have specials? This girl now interrupted me & asked if I wanted to order something. My experience was horrible & I just wanted to know if they have specials before I decided to order.

This is one of the best pizza in the Yelm area. The people are friendly and we didn’t have to wait too long for an awesome pizza. We have been here twice and both times have been great. We tried their Greek salad last time we were there and it had the freshest veggies, and a great tasting dressing. Last night we had the sausage pizza and it was very good. Planning on going back often.:-) :-) :-)

I spent many years developing franchise owners throughout the West Coast for various pizza chains so I understand many ins and outs of the business.
However I’ve been looking for a place like this for a long time. The staff was great. The Restaurant was relaxing enough to just chill and catch a ball game. The Pizza was great but needs a little bit attention to detail
The dough is hand tossed so your pizza appearance will be variable from one to the next. The execution has been spot on so far.
A tip for you reviewers when getting a pizza is making sure they aren’t using old dough. If you ever get a pizza with a doughy crust edge that looks transparent or doesn’t seem to tear properly send it back!!!. This place again so far seems to be good about that.
My only suggestion when it comes to making the pizza is it needs to be cooked about a minute longer when its heavily topped item like a combo.
The ingredients look all to be fresh and tasted amazing. Seriously that truly makes a difference and this place has it 100% right.
My only gripe– the manager or owner needs review sanitation. If you staff with one or two people who handle money/​phone orders/​customer etc. and they cross train to make food they need to wash their hands or wear gloves when making the pizza’s– wings etc. I’m a realest, but it has to be done. This wasn’t being done on both of our visits. . Overall we loved it and will be back again and again. Would have rated 5 stars but the food handling thing…

I do love the pizza here. We order a different one every time and it’s always good. The cheesy bread is phenomenal. He only thing I might want done differently is the amount of grits used on the dough. It’s a bit much. But still good.
The reason I gave 3 stars was because of the restaurant itself. It SHOULD be a sports bar/​restaurant. I mean, it’s called Varsity Pizza. But the ambience in there is similar to that of a high school cafeteria with all those fluorescents. Dim it down a bit and make it a place you would want to sit and have a beer and some pizza. Plus there’s no bar area to just go and sit for drinks while you watch a game or something. And about the tvs. They are usually tuned in to some game, but they always have music going and the volume on the tv down. What is that?
And the last gripe I have is the people working there. They take your order and if you dine in they bring you your pizza. But that’s about it. Need a plate? Get up and get it yourself. Need silverware? Get up and get it yourself. And the employees are behind the counter bullshitting with each other, on their phones, etc. At least enclose the kitchen area, because being stared at by employees while you’re eating is super awkward.
All in all, I like the food, not the atmosphere.

Glad they’re here. Had been to the Eatonville location a few times and was excited to hear they were opening in our area. Pizza and wings are always on point, never skimpy with the toppings. The Big Kahuna and The Varsity are great choices for Pizza. Servers and Staff provide a friendly atmosphere and are always seeking please and more than willing to change the channel or turn up the volume if asked. Their support of local athletics and clubs and the owner is very willing to work with them to raise $$. I would recommend this place without hesitation to locals as well as anybody thats passing through. THEY DO IT RIGHT.

I’m new to the Roy area from Federal Way, I’m looking for a sports bar to watch the NFL Draft live, get some grub and a couple pints…
1) The sign looked like a sports bar (sports and beer signs in the window) it’s not, it’s a small Round Table Pizza that serves beer, bring me to my next point.
2) Very limited beer selection, did not have my popular favorites Mannys or Mac and Jacks. And my beer was a good 2 inches below rim level :(
3) the pizza (personal size) took a little too long to get to me despite the empty seats around. I’d estimate 15 – 20 min for an 8″ pizza.
4) I chose the seat near one of the televisions and put my arm in crumbs and spilled beverage of some sort. Someone notice and came to clean it quickly, leaving a clean but saturated table for me to finish drying.
5) he draft was on. but the volume was down?! I understand that some places may not want to have the volume up during all hours of the day, but a ‘sports and pizza’ place should know to turn on the volume for the NFL Draft in Seahawks country. or maybe not?
6) All this but I was still going to give their food a chance but… The pizza wasn’t even good! Too much white sauce, was dripping from under the cheese. It was good at first but began to make me nautious, not to mention the weird odor that the spinach had… What the neck?
Honestly, I won’t go back. They did have some cool decorations and sport memorabilia, but their sense of décor may be about all the have going for them :/​
Oh, and they never ID’d me. I’m only 25, could have easily been younger smh

Wow! Their pizza was amazing! I didn’t know we had a new pizza place just outside of McKenna. And they deliver to Clearwood! Their delivery guy didn’t get in until 4:30 so you must wait until dinnertime if you want delivery. But the pizza is worth it. We had the Buffalo Chicken which was a taste bud explosion in your mouth! I could have attempted devouring the whole pizza! Thank The Lord everyone else loved it too. Also ordered one of the meat pizzas which was just as savory! Definitely ordering again!

Excellent Pizza! And very friendly and helpful employees! This location is their 2^nd location, so looks like the are expanding some, Very pleased with the quality of food here!

Cheesey gooey yummy meltiness! The crust was not to thin and not thick, but foldable at the same time. The meat portions on the varsity was gerenous, and flavorful. I had varsity on mountain hwy once before and I’m glad we made the gamble to go to the new store. Not to mention, those wings were on point. This will be a great group location, they serve beer too. The owners ans son were nice and had great customer service. They even gave us boxes that we needed.
