You are cordially invited to visit Transfer Pizzeria Café, located in the Harbor District on the corner of 1st and Mitchell Streets. Established in 2008, the namesake is Transfer Pharmacy, a classic cornerstone drugstore from a bygone era that for decades supplied a thriving community with goods and services as evidenced by the stained glass windows still in place. The pharmacy was appropriately named for the constant activity that took place just outside - the boarding, departures, and transfers of the countless daily commuters of the time. The tradition of a reliable cornerstone establishment continues today, as Transfer Pizzeria delivers a unique dose of delicious pizza, drink, atmosphere, and friendly service.

We keep an active wait-list and gladly accommodate walk-ins as part of both our lunch and dinner service.

    This is my favorite new pizza restaurant. The pies were delicious and the service was outstanding. And don't forget to try the pear martinis - they are amazing.

    Had a Caesar’s salad and their garlic pizza with chicken and potatoes. Both were delicious and flavorful. Love this place!

    Always outstanding in hospitality, and atmosphere, and if you want a great thin-crust pizza, this is the place! Live jazz on Thursdays and martini specials make it the perfect place to warm up during winter months.

    While we would have preferred the quieter area in back, our table was ok. It’s easy to overlook such a minor inconvenience when the food is as good as it is. It was also easier on our server, who had quite a few other guests to take care of. He did do a marvelous job, at least from our perspective.
