Casa Mia

Founded in 1952 by Phil Bellofatto, an Italian-American raised above one of New York City's original pizzerias, Casa Mia has preserved authentic Italian culinary traditions for over seven decades. Our commitment to handcrafted quality remains unchanged since opening Washington State's first Italian restaurant, with recipes passed down from Phil's original kitchen. Each location prepares fresh dough daily and simmers tomato sauce for six hours to maintain the rich flavors that earned national recognition. Expanding from Hoquiam to seven locations across Western Washington since 1974, we've maintained the same brick-hearth baking methods and dedication to quality that defined our founding. Our award-winning pizzas, including Chicken Pizza with Three Cheeses and multiple Pizza Today Magazine winners, continue the legacy of innovation that began with Little Italy's immigrant chefs.

With consistent recognition since the 1994 Hunt-Wesson Foods Pizza Prima victory, we remain dedicated to serving Italian-American cuisine made exactly as Phil envisioned. Every restaurant operates as a community hub where guests experience the warmth of traditional Italian hospitality alongside perfectly balanced flavors. Our growth through franchising began in 1993 while preserving strict quality control over the recipes and preparation methods that define our brand. Today's customers continue to enjoy the same attention to detail that transformed Washington's first pizzeria into a regional institution. We take pride in sourcing ingredients locally while maintaining the six-hour tomato sauce simmering process that distinguishes our flavor profile from mass-produced alternatives.
