Farrelli’s Pizza is preparing to open a new location in Enumclaw, with a target opening set for late June 2026, according to The News Tribune. Though an exact date has not been confirmed, the restaurant will take over the former Claw of Enumclaw event space, located at 1324 Roosevelt Ave. E., just east of downtown near the Enumclaw Expo Center.
The family-owned brand, originally founded in 1995 in Lacey by John Farrell, is known for its wood-fired pizzas, casual dining space, and strong presence across the South Sound. The Enumclaw opening will mark the company’s 13th location overall and its second in King County.
“We are extremely excited to be joining the beautiful community of Enumclaw, taking over the iconic Claw event space as the newest Farrelli’s Pizza location,” the company shared on its website. The team also emphasized its focus on becoming “a pillar of the Enumclaw community” while continuing its long-standing commitment to what it calls “neighborhood nourishment.”
The new location will serve the items that define the brand, including wood-fired pies, pastas, salads, and shareable appetizers, along with a full bar program featuring cocktails, beer on tap, and regional wines. Guests can also expect features like a daily happy hour and a family-friendly dining environment.
The 7,000-square-foot space is being reworked to include multiple dining areas, a bar and lounge, a private party room, and a covered patio designed for year-round use. While the building has housed different concepts over the years, Farrelli’s plans to preserve some of its existing elements while introducing its signature open-concept pizza line.
On social media, the brand teased the opening with a celebratory tone: “We are thrilled to announce our newest location in Enumclaw… We are so excited to open in the former space of The Claw of Enumclaw, bringing our signature pizzas and famous Farrelli’s hospitality to this community.”
The team is awaiting final permits before completing the last phase of construction. Updates are expected as the opening timeline approaches.
