Reviews for The Carlson Block in Wilkeson, WA
I've been in Wilkeson previously, but had not visited Carlson Block. After reading an article on "Only in Our State," which says... their pizza is the best in Washington, I decided to give it a try. Overall, the pizza is just ok. I've had better at many otherplaces. My samples included cheese and the sausage and fennel. The cheese pizza was pretty basic and tasted like cheese pizzayou'd get at any other wood fired pizza place (think Mod Pizza). The sausage and fennel was different as it has no red sauce.Sausage was flavorful, but I could have used my fennel. I added mushrooms which added a nice additional texturedimension. Service is kind of non-existent. You order at the counter and then try to find a seat. Seating is very limited, butfortunately there is a soda shop next door that lets you bring your pie and eat. We liked the soda shop way more at it had areally nice atmosphere, vibe, and even live music. In hindsight, we could have skipped Carlson Block entirely and had a goodtime at the soda shop. (Simple Goodness) Additionally, Carlson Block doesn't open until 3pm which makes visiting awkward. Iwould go again if I were in the area, but otherwise I'm not sure it's worth the trek from Seattle.

It is quality pizza at a good price. They are also pretty quick with getting your order to you. I would get pizza here again.
We arrived at 2:30 on a Thursday and were first in line. By 3:00 when it opened there were close to 20 people in line. We... ordered 3 half-and-half pizzas so we could share and try all the toppings. We tried the House Pie, Roasted Vegetable, MixedMushroom, Fennel and Sausage, Soppressata, and Pesto. All were good. I liked the House Pie and the Fennel and Sausage best. Iwould not drive a long ways out of my way to go here but if I was passing through I would be glad to eat here again. Read more
Amazing! I have wanted to go here for a long time and finally had the chance. I got the block wedge salad, the salami pizza and... the house-made sausage and fennel pizza. Everything was spectacular. I got there about 20 minutes before they opened because Iwasn't sure what to expect. I'm glad I did because by the time the doors opened there were about 30 people lined up. I got myfood about ten minutes after I ordered and everyone I interacted with was super nice and enthusiastic about their food. If youare anywhere near Wilkeson between Thursday and Sunday, definitely stop here. Read more
Everything was delicious but a bit salty for me. It took about 30 mins to get food. Wants to try other dishes as well.
If you are looking for the best Neapolitan pizza around, The Carlson Block is the place to trek to. Since we are always... searching for great pizza, we have had it on our "to visit" list for a while. We finally had time to make the detour toWilkeson, WA on the way home from a road trip. The pizza is all about the dough, which has the amazing combination ofstretchiness and some crunch from the blistered crust. We had a margherita pizza with pepperoni, a side Caesar salad, a housered wine, and a beer. Everything is served to-go so the pizza and salad came in boxes. While we had pretty high expectations forthe pizza here after all of the hype, we both agreed that it truly was fantastic and worth the extra drive time. The sauce tocheese ratio was just right and the pepperoni was cupped with just a little char. The historic building creates a really coolatmosphere. So, we will definitely be back to visit when we can squeeze the added hour or so detour into our travel plans! Read more
It's really difficult at times to describe how amazing a place is. Their pizzas are made with a delicious sourdough crust,... fantastic ingredients, and a indescribable taste. Their Fennel and Sausage pizza is the most popular for good reason. I HIGHLYreccomend this place. Absolutely one of my favorites in Washington. Provides a safe, neat, and atmospheric environment tocompliment an outstanding meal. Read more
