We had the Caesar salad, Broccolini, two vegetarian pizzas, and very interesting flavored ice-creams. They were all delicious!
Lovely cozy atmosphere.
Only thing I’d say was that it was a little loud from other conversations. I’d recommend doing some type of acoustic absorption and deadening on the ceiling and walls so it can feel more comfortable.

Excellent food! Great atmosphere! The flavor combinations are so good. Highly recommend all the starters and you can never go wrong with pizza.

I like this place and have eaten inside a couple times. This time I ordered two pizzas via Toast app which said “ready in 25mins”. I showed up 30 mins after placing my order. Lady at the front tells me I’m early and that I should have come 1h15 after placing my order. The order confirmation which I had not read did say that… but I would have never ordered had it shown a wait time of 1h15.
The lady at the front tells me she talked to the guys in the kitchen and can get the two pizzas ready in 15mins. I decide to wait instead of going home. I have two kids in the car. After 20 mins she tells me they’re probably just cutting them up. The 15mins turn into 30 and then 45… Kids losing their minds in the car. I finally get the two pizzas and a lame apology about being busy.
I tried to get through to the lady at the front about my experience and setting the right expectations in the app and in person but I don’t think I was successful…
Happy to take this down once the owner sees this. Want to ensure they’re aware of these shortcomings.

I had a great time here. Good food, good drinks, good people. Ask for warm olives, they are better.

Amazing, amazing food! Reminds me of San Francisco! This place has an odd name, but the food is transformative! More than just pizza- and they have homemade icecream!!

Our family loves their pizza, it’s some of the best in town! Always has great customer service, can be a bit noisy though. We have quite a few pizza options in town and this is definitely one of the best.

If you make the mistake of walking by this inconspicuous restaurant storefront, you would be missing out on an incredible dinning experience. The service provided by Kent was excellent. Small plate items were fantastic and each of the two pizzas were outstanding! We had one white pizza and one red pizza. Everyone in the restaurant seemed like they were enjoying themselves and enjoying their food and drinks. Great atmosphere! Absolutely would recommend Bicycle Thief.

Now, this- is experiential dining. High quality, nutritious ingredients are creatively assembled in an open kitchen with a large bar. Feels almost like art gallery vibes, with mature plants and collectable vinyl records on the walls. They offered me to half a half and half pie, because I couldn't decide between the special and one of the Mainstays. It's a difficult economy to host such fine options! But it feels worth it to me to spend on such mental and physical sustenance as I was served here in Grass Valley. My local friends are already competing over where I go next with my leftovers 😆

I ate pizza at the restaurant once, and the food was fantastic! The building itself is too loud for my taste. However, if you order to-go, it’s atrocious! No exaggeration. *There is also, literally, no way to reach anyone at the business by phone.*
We ordered 2 pizzas (1 gluten free), about $80, along with a couple of bottled drinks. Nearly $100 for two people. One pizza didn’t have any substitutions, it was ok. Husband wasn’t impressed. My pizza (gf) was only cheese with the prosciutto I paid extra for. No other toppings!
We were meeting friends and brought over the pizzas. I opened mine, shocked! My friend, blown away, said she had just ordered a pizza to go recently, and it was ONLY crust with sauce! No toppings! She showed me a picture.
I still ate the pizza hoping it would be good. Meat and cheese! It literally made me nauseous and sick. I couldn’t stomach it.
Either the pizzailolo doesn’t understand how to read the online orders, or doesn’t care. Regardless, nobody can possibly believe charging $30-$40 for a smallish, stripped pizza is acceptable! Awful business.
Had a reservation, still had to wait over an hour...unfortunate. but after we got seated all was great!

I’ve been going to Frank’s Pizza since early 70’s and was sad when they closed. However, my tastes have changed over the years and I no longer prefer that thick greasy heavy pizza that Franks used to serve. When I saw Bicycle Thief I was very excited because this was the style of pizza I’ve come to really enjoy!
They have done a really nice job cleaning up the place and it is a fantastic atmosphere and the service is top shelf. The price is also very reasonable.
However, I was not happy with the pizza. It lacked flavor and the crust reminded me of cardboard. Additionally, I don’t know if my pizza was burnt or if that’s just the way they cook it. If they accidentally burned it, I wish they would’ve taken the opportunity to redo it. I think it was pretty obvious that it was overcooked.
I only get down there every couple of years, but next time I do, I will give them another try to see if their food has improved. This may have just been a bad day.

11/28 Visited Grass Valley, a Cute downtown. We were lucky to find the Bicycle Thief. Excellent Pizza and incredible salad, be prepared to share it is huge! All the food looked delicious. Staff are friendly and provide great service. Especially our bartender Jeff. He helped make our evening fantastic.
fav restaurant in NC/GV!!!!!
