Celebrating Mother's Day at Wooden City in Tacoma

Pepperoni Pizza with peppers and honey from Wooden City.

To celebrate Mother's Day my family and I had dinner at Wooden City in Tacoma. This is a gem in Tacoma and they fill up tables fast! We had made a reservation, but it was an early seating at 4 pm, right when they opened. It tells you a lot about a place when there's a line outside and it's hard to get a reservation at your desired time. Wooden City also has a location in Spokane.

Located in the heart of downtown Tacoma, they serve American cuisine. I couldn't wait to try their food, since I had found so many great reviews online. They have a happy hour, so I was able to get a Daiquiri for a couple bucks off. My husband had a Manhattan. To eat, he had the Chicken Sandwich and I had a Pepperoni Pizza, which I shared with my son. Our other son had the Classic Mozzarella Cheese Bread.

The food and drinks at Wooden City are top notch. My pizza was on point. I loved the flavors of the spicy pepperoni and peppers paired with the sweet honey. The crust was just right and was baked in their wood fired oven. My husband really enjoyed his Fried Chicken Sandwich and liked the how fresh it tasted. They use slaw, honey, cucumbers, and a zesty mustard.

For dessert, we all shared a slice of cheesecake. It had a graham cracker crust and a berry jam. This was one of the best cheesecakes we've eaten. Our server said when she tried it, she almost cried. Well, if your dessert isn't so good it makes you tear up, skip it!

Since Wooden City is located in downtown Tacoma, we enjoyed checking out the historic buildings and taking some photos. We'd never hung out in this part of Tacoma before and really liked it! I really recommend dining at Wooden City. You'll love the vibe, the service, and the food!
