Share your opinion about Pizza Norcia
Pizza Norcia is one of the best wood fired pizza spots around! The crust is cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, light and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of wood-fired char. You can tell they use super fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our toddler loved the bambino pizza (tomato sauce and mozzarella). The service was friendly and fast, too. We’ll definitely be coming back regularly!
Great food and service from Jason today.
We drive here from Amador to get pizza regularly. It’s very good.

Pizza Norcia is a restaurant that offers delicious wood-fired pizzas, reminiscent of those made in Norcia, Italy. The restaurant is located in a beautifully renovated building in the historic town of El Dorado, not far from Placerville and Highway 50. It has a modern and comfortable atmosphere, with an open wall concept, making it a family-friendly spot.
One of the popular pizzas is the Bambino pizza with pepperoni and green olives, featuring high-quality ingredients such as Castelvetrano olives from Italy, which have a salty, buttery flavor. The pepperoni are thinly sliced, curling up during baking to create crispy edges. The pizza dough is fresh and takes three days to make, resulting in a beautiful blister and soft, crisp chew. The menu also includes a prosciutto, mozzarella, fresh Pears with cinnamon, topped with arugula and drizzled with fresh lemon, which many find delicious.
The restaurant's menu boasts a homemade pizza sauce, and the mozzarella used is fresh. Those seeking a more authentic Italian pizza experience will enjoy the offerings at Pizza Norcia, as it differs from typical pizza chains. The service is exceptional, with staff who are caring, attentive, friendly, and efficient. Diners have described their experiences as a delight, with the pizza tasting unbelievable—like fireworks in the mouth.
While parking can be challenging due to the lack of a designated lot, the pizza and service make the extra effort worthwhile. The atmosphere is informal but stylish, with a rustic industrial look that is clean and uncluttered. The beers are described as dangerously delicious, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful without hovering. Overall, Pizza Norcia is a top favorite for many, offering authentic Italian-style pizza, great taste, and excellent service.
