Damn good pizza! Do yourself a favor and get a slice or a whole pie. It’s busy tho so if you are really hungry be sure to order ahead.

As a pizza snob, must say that the Pizza Joint slices are magically delicious. I love everything about going in there. The friendly staff, the fun standing only to eat in, and the fun to take a slice or two out and find a nice spot in dt Nevada City to enjoy it.

Having eaten pizza all over the globe, I'd stack their pizzas against any of the greats I've had, and when I'm craving pizza, I go there for the Valley (and they add dollups of ricotta for me). Yummy!!!

We have many great pizza joints in this county - we are so lucky!

Some of the best tasting pizza 🍕 ready to eat by the slice. A little pricey but super tasty. Got grandma and the Sicilian. Happy tummy.

Great pizza. Watch out for the hidden fees. I spent over $100 and they wouldn’t give us plates without an extra charge. Also I was auto charged 15% gratuity and had no idea until I was done paying. Would’ve been cool to be given a heads up before I paid. Made me scared to ask for peppers or cheese. $$$$$

This is legit good pizza. A solid 7.8 if it were in New York. But for a small town like ours, it’s a 9.4! And you cannot help but love the gals and guys who work here. Pizza Joint rules!!

Yummy pizza served by really nice people. Location is right next to a bar that plays live music so it's a good place to eat some tasty pizza (I had one slice each of the grandma and valley, both were excellent) and hear some nice music.

Food was out of this damn world, staff was fantastic. Ate this pizza in the woods camping with my ol lady after we smoked, and nothing will ever compare to that experience.

I have to leave review on every platform possible for such poor run place.

Terrible Experience – Accused of Stealing Over Their Own Mistake

I went in for dinner and ended up being accused of stealing pizza.
I ordered a few slices and asked for ranch. The lady at the counter gave me my total, and I tapped my card on the terminal. I heard the beep, assumed it had gone through, and stood there for the next 30 seconds waiting for her to acknowledge the payment. She said nothing. I figured everything was fine.
I waited about five minutes for my food, grabbed it, and walked outside. I wasn’t even leaving—just standing further away, looking for my car keys—when the same lady ran after me, yelling aggressively that I hadn’t paid. I went back in, she yelled the total at me again, and finally flipped the screen around so I could see it. I paid again and told her I was sorry—I genuinely didn’t know the payment hadn’t gone through. But she continued treating me like I’d tried to steal it.

Here’s the kicker: I was at this place a week earlier, and something similar happened. That time, I tapped my card, waited for her to acknowledge it, and eventually had to ask if it went through. She seemed annoyed, flipped the screen toward me. Clearly, this is not a one-off issue.
I seriously encourage the place to check the security cameras. I did tap the terminal. The issue is with staff who are not trained (or too checked out) to handle it properly. If someone can't manage the register or track transactions, maybe someone else should be doing it.

If you’re just visiting, skip this place—there are better spots in Nevada City with friendlier, more competent staff. If you live here, respect yourself and go somewhere else.

To the staff: please, train someone who actually understands how the payment system works.

I won’t be back—and neither will my friends or family
