Dirty Dave's Pizza Parlor

Blast from the past. Dirty Dave’s delivers that nostalgia of childhood pizza parlors. Arcade games, candy vending machines, walls tattooed with old sports and bar memorabilia. Really need more places like this. Kids love coming here, we drive from Tacoma and make a point to visit monthly. Meatball sub, pizza, clams, are all fantastic.

If you are in the olympia/lacey area....stop here. The pizza is amazing. The decor is chaotic at best. But, it wouldn't be Dirty Dave's without it. The place was packed when I went and we still only waited maybe 15mins before our pizza was in front of us.

Excellent sandwich. Atmosphere lacked.Service was top notch, the sandwich 'the Jake ' was even better the suggested add on of roasted cashews made for a truly remarkable flavor combo. The Jake was total perfection. It was prepared with an ideal balance of meat to shredded lettuce and tomatoes, and enough sauce for flavor and lubrication but not so much you make a total mess of the thing biting into it. Delicious.The restaurant itself is the opposite. Should be a case study for how NOT to decorate a restaurant or even bar. They had two modern pinball machines so that part was good. Seating cramped, colors and carpet were rough, and the decorations were a collection of the worst the mid eighties had to offer slapped on the wall and forgot about for 40 plus years. It could be nostalgic, but it 's not. There 's no irony or kitsch to it either basically, it 's a half complete collection of the worst of mid eithies decor, definitely not the coolest. Makes you wonder how they could be in business that long... And then you take another bite of the Jake sandwich. Oh right, That 's why. DAMN that 's a good sandwich!
