An Oregon Coast Tradition Since 1988
Authentic New York-Style Pizza, Italian Family Recipes & 38 Years of Tradition
Welcome to the original Pizza a’ fetta in beautiful Cannon Beach, Oregon, where we've been serving handcrafted New York-style pizza since August 22, 1988.
What began as a small family-inspired pizzeria has grown into a beloved Oregon Coast tradition, welcoming generations of residents and visitors.
Our recipes originate from our grandmother, Antoinette, and our family's roots in Bari, Italy. For 38 years, we've remained committed to preparing our pizza with carefully selected ingredients, traditional techniques, and the personal attention that made Pizza a’ fetta what it is today.
Whether you're stopping by our slice window, enjoying a whole pizza in our intimate dining room, or relaxing in our courtyard, we invite you to experience a little piece of our family history.
Our Family Tradition
From Bari, Italy, to Cannon Beach, Oregon
Every great recipe has a story, and ours begins generations ago in Bari, Italy.
Our grandmother, Antoinette, passed down the recipes and traditions that became the foundation of Pizza a’ fetta. Those recipes, combined with our commitment to quality and consistency, continue to guide the way we prepare our food today.
When we opened our Cannon Beach restaurant in 1988, our goal was simple: create exceptional pizza using quality ingredients, traditional preparation methods, and genuine hospitality.
Over the years, we've welcomed millions of guests, built lasting relationships with our customers, and earned national recognition for our pizza.
Despite the growth and recognition, one thing hasn't changed: our commitment to the recipes, quality, and traditions that started it all.
What Makes Our Pizza Different?
Great Pizza Doesn't Happen by Accident
Our Signature Tomato Sauce
Each year, we select a single harvest of Roma tomatoes for their natural balance of pectin and acidity. The tomatoes are picked and packed within approximately six hours, then shipped to us.
Our sauce combines 18 carefully balanced spices, cooks for approximately three hours, and develops its flavor for an additional 12 hours before use.
Our Hand-Tossed Dough
Our dough is prepared fresh using a specially milled, lower-gluten flour. Through careful mixing, conditioning, and proofing, we create the soft, traditional New York-style crust our customers have enjoyed for decades.
Our Amazing 14-Inch Gluten-Free Pizza Crust
All the Flavor. All the Satisfaction. Without the Gluten!
At Pizza a’ fetta, we believe everyone deserves an exceptional pizza experience, and our 14-inch gluten-free crust is proof that you don't have to sacrifice flavor or texture to enjoy great pizza!
It took us 14 years to find and acquire just the right combination of ingredients to create a gluten-free crust that lives up to the quality and tradition of Pizza a’ fetta.
Available exclusively in our 14-inch size, our gluten-free crust is prepared using separate pans and utensils to help minimize cross-contact.
Please note: While we take precautions when preparing gluten-free pizzas, our kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, and cross-contact with gluten is possible.
Our Cheese & Toppings
We use whole-milk, low-moisture mozzarella and carefully selected meats and vegetables to complement our signature sauce and crust.
Every pizza is prepared with the attention to detail that has defined Pizza a’ fetta since 1988
