Pizza has arrived in Olympia

I first went to La Gitana Pizzeria in Yelm a few months ago. I’ve heard about their authentic Italian pizza from friends and had to try it out.

I was surprised at how busy the restaurant was, especially considering that the prices were a bit steep for Yelm. The pizza was definitely worth the trip to Yelm, and I told the owner back then that he and his partner should consider opening a restaurant in Olympia.

Imagine my surprise when I went downtown for Arts Walk last week and noticed a La Gitana Restaurant right on Capitol Way. This was only their second day in business and the place was hopping. I love their pizza because it’s authentic Italian. Coming from Europe I grew up on thin crust, light on the toppings, wood-fired oven baked Italian pizza. This is the real thing! I especially love their fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula pizza. To top off the meal, I highly recommend their home-made tiramisu for dessert.

The owners, Francesco Chiechi and Carlos Morist created a friendly and casual ambiance and comfortable dining experience. Francesco is Italian and you can watch him make the pizza dough (with flour imported from Italy) right there in the restaurant. If you’ve tried deep dish, Chicago style, or New York style pizza, then it’s time you try some Italian pizza, because it has arrived in Olympia.
