DiNardi’s Pizza & Pasta

In Spokane’s culinary timeline, few names carry as much pedigree as DiNardi’s Pizza & Pasta. Since 1962, this family-run stalwart has been crafting authentic New York–style pies, featuring traditional cheese, hefty Sicilian squares, and even gluten-free crusts, all made with scratch recipes passed down through generations. Behind the counter, cooks spin dough daily, ladle on fresh tomato sauce, and shower each pizza with locally sourced cheeses and toppings that sing of the Inland Northwest.
Beyond the pies, DiNardi’s menu reads like an Italian road trip, featuring house-made ravioli, linguine with clams, stuffed calzones, and classic chicken Parmigiana, as well as hearty pasta plates drizzled in house-made marinara or Alfredo sauce. With a warm dining room humming under soft lights, it’s the kind of place where slices and stories are shared in equal measure.
The Flying Goat

Soaring into Spokane’s dining scene in 2010, The Flying Goat stands as a testament to thoughtful design and exceptional pizza in the Audubon Downriver area. The very fabric of the restaurant speaks to sustainability, with much of its wood sourced and repurposed from a 1910 Otis Leonard’s Ritzville grain elevator, giving the space a unique, rustic-chic appeal.
This meticulous attention to detail extends to their menu, where a delightful range of creations awaits, from the classic simplicity of their Margherita to inventive pies that challenge expectations, such as the “Dalton,” boasting honey apple BBQ sauce, house cheese blend, pulled pork, caramelized onion and a refreshingly crisp coleslaw. Yes, you read that right — slaw on a slice. Think of it as a built-in side salad and no fork required!
South Perry Pizza

In Spokane’s South Perry district, South Perry Pizza turns fire-roasted pies into neighborhood rituals. Each crust and sauce is handcrafted daily, then burned over live flame for a crisp exterior and tender chew inside. Topped with the likes of CasaCano Farm’s sweet sausage, peppadew peppers, and a balsamic finish on the Brooklyn pie, the flavors keep folks coming back long after “just one slice” becomes impossible.
With six rotating taps pouring local brews and a cozy dining room buzzing with conversation, it’s easy to lose track of time. Gluten-free crusts and 7? lunch pizzas (available until 4 p.m.) ensure there’s something for everyone.
Republic Pi
611 #E 30th Avenue, Spokane
509.315.8207
You can’t have pizza without pi, or in the case of Spokane’s vibrant Manito Neighborhood, you can’t have pizza without Republic Pi! Since 2015, this community-driven pizzeria has centered its philosophy on bringing people together over fire-roasted pies. Each morning, dough is mixed in-house and sauces are simmered from scratch before every 12? crust hits a 700° Woodstone oven, emerging with just the right leopard-spot char. The result is pies that balance Neapolitan tradition with Pacific Northwest flair.
The Manito pizza represents the essence of their approach of clean flavors, crisp crust, and bright tomato. While weekly specials showcase bold experiments, such as goat–cheese–drenched artichokes or citrus-marinated shrimp. Every element, from dough fermentation to final garnish, feels purposefully artful and unapologetically delicious.
