Our Story

From a Small Kitchen to a Walla Walla Icon

Green Lantern Pizza was founded in 2008 by lifelong Walla Walla residents who believed that great pizza starts with great ingredients — fresh dough made daily, premium cheeses, hand-selected toppings, and a whole lot of love.

"We didn't want to be just another pizza place. We wanted to be the pizza place — the one you think of first, the one that feels like home."

What started as a cozy neighborhood spot at 1606 E Isaacs Ave quickly grew into a beloved gathering place for families, students, sports teams, and anyone who appreciates a perfectly crafted pie. Over the years, we've perfected our recipes, expanded our menu, and — most importantly — built lasting relationships with the people we serve.

Today, Green Lantern Pizza continues to honor its roots while embracing new flavors and techniques, ensuring every visit feels both familiar and exciting.

Our Mission

To craft exceptional handmade pizza using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients — delivered with warm, genuine hospitality to every guest who walks through our door or orders online.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

At Green Lantern Pizza, these principles aren't just words on a wall — they guide every decision we make, from sourcing ingredients to training our team.

Real Ingredients Only

No shortcuts. We use fresh, whole ingredients — real mozzarella, hand-crushed tomatoes, and dough made from scratch every morning.

Community First

We are part of Walla Walla's fabric. We support local events, partner with local suppliers, and give back wherever we can.

Uncompromising Quality

From the oven temperature to the cheese blend ratio, every detail is deliberate. Quality is non-negotiable at Green Lantern Pizza.

Genuine Hospitality

Every guest deserves to feel welcomed. Whether it's your first visit or your five-hundredth, we treat you like family.
