Pizzeria La Gitana - Yelm

It's not your average American pizza joint. This is authentic Italian style pizza. Paper thin crispy crust. Local organic products are used in salads and toppings. You can also make any pizza vegan by replacing the cheese for vegan cheese and meat. Their red sauce is the only vegan sauce and they have 2 pastas that are vegan (red sauce and a spicy red sauce) if you simply leave the parm topping. Updated by previous review on 2021-04-13

The important part was that the food was great! We decided to stop here for a late lunch before a movie in the Yelm cinemas on the street. My Gf is vegan, so it was important that this restaurant had vegan options. She ordered a tailored vegan pizza and I had pasta dish w/Bolognese, which were both available on their lunch special menu. Food was excellent! My pasta dish was tasteful and just the right part where I didn't feel like exaggerated. The service could have been better, but we must have come on a bad day. Our server only checked us once during our meal and I had to track them to ask for our bill.

We had a great lunch today. First we didn't know about lunch deal $12 for wine or salad $12 for oven pizza). Secondly, we also did not know that they use some organic products and very natural ingredients. The food itself pasta, pizza and salad) were delicious, fresh and very close, which we usually have in Italy. Customer service was fast, friendly and punctual. The cherry above was the Milhojas with real Dulce de leche. Unforgettable! I wish we had this restaurant in Texas.

This place wasn't what I expected. In such a small town that takes only 3 minutes to drive through, you would never expect a high end authentic Italian restaurant. Imported flour from Italy means handmade pasta and pizza on site. The sauces on both were amazing and everything was perfectly cooked. I come back every time I'm in town. This is fair a high end point and prices reflect this. The average price will run you $15-45 per person, depending on whether you share food. Either way, you'll be happy. Don't forget Dessert. They also make all desserts and they should die for it. Enjoy every bite.

We only go about every week, this is the always popular restaurant of our family. The service is always excellent, and the food, I swear every time anything gets better!
