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.

Like always great food. Busy places at the time we were there. Service was a little slow but it was busy, that means good business for them to keep the doors open. We will keep stopping by to enjoy their pizza!!!

This was our first time here. We made reservations which was ideal for 5:30pm on a Saturday. Ambience was nice as we were seated at a small table facing Mitchell Street (less noisy than back room). Our server was attentive and had a good chat with us during our visit. Caesar salads were delicious with a nice portion size and well dressed. We split a Margherita pizza which we were somewhat disappointed with. The crust is amazing (slightly chewy and crispy) but the overall pizza lacked a flavorful tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The 7 layer chocolate cake was a nice finish to end our evening meal. I would definitely go back and try a different pizza.

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.

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.
