Bremerton has its share of casual pizza spots, but one brick-oven pizzeria has been feeding the community since 2005 and shows no signs of slowing down. 🐸
The Toad House built its reputation the old-fashioned way, firing up West Coast brick-oven pizzas night after night for a laid-back coastal crowd.
Over two decades, it has become such a fixture that some of its most popular menu items were actually born from regular customers’ orders.
What started as a neighborhood pizzeria has become one of Bremerton’s most beloved culinary landmarks. 🍕
How The Toad House won Bremerton’s hearts
Since opening in 2005, the pizzeria has built its menu around West Coast brick oven pies made from scratch by a kitchen team the staff affectionately calls their “Pizza Ninjas.” 🔥
That playful spirit runs through the whole operation, but nowhere is it more obvious than in the story behind two of the menu’s most beloved pizzas.
According to longtime staff, both Darrell’s and the BOBdacious started as off-menu orders from two regulars who showed up nearly every Friday and ordered the same custom pizza.
Eventually, the kitchen got tired of re-entering the same order and just put it on the permanent menu, complete with the customer’s name attached.
Staff have pointed to the Winning Combo as the single most popular pizza on the menu, a reputation that longtime regulars say has held steady for years. 🍺
The pizzeria pairs its scratch-made pies with an extensive tap beer list and a full bar, turning a quick pizza night into the kind of laid-back hangout that keeps people coming back week after week.
Nearly every menu item tells a story, whether it’s customer-inspired classics or newer creations built around bold, unexpected flavor combinations.
That blend of consistency, community, and genuine local flavor is exactly why The Toad House has remained one of Bremerton’s most cherished pizza institutions.
