Throughout our 'Get Yaklimated' series where I take Baby Joel to some of the best places we have here in the Yakima Valley, we haven't hit up a pizza place ... until now. I thought it was high time, and the first local pizza place I thought of was Magic's Pizza Shack in Selah. If you've been there, you know why.

I love this place because classic pizza places aren't as popular as they used to be. This one still holds true to its roots. Family owned and operated and everything made fresh in-house from the salad to the pizza to even the crust and sauce are all homemade. Take a bite and you can definitely taste the difference.

They had a few specials including a sandwich and a salad but as soon as she mentioned "large all-meat pizza" my eyes locked with Baby Joel's as we knew that was exactly what we were getting.

He loved this place because it reminded him of his youth going to a similar place after Little League games. It's a great place to bring your kids as, no doubt, they'll have fond memories as well.

To me, this is real pizza. I fear for Yakima's youth as many will grow up thinking "pizza" is a $5 ready-to-go special that some places in town have. Of course I'm guilty of picking those up every once in a while as well, pizza is one of those things where there's no substitute for awesome quality and that's what you'll find here as Baby Joel and I did.

If you do happen to visit, you have to grab one of the shortbread cookies as well. Easily the best shortbread cookie we've ever had.

Although we love this place, where's another great pizza place to visit? Tell us in the comments and we'll try to check it out.
