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

The pizza was so good we had it twice during our 3 day stay in Nevada city!

This place has fallen off….large pie used to be worth the $32 plus tip….not anymore. More flop than LeBron after getting fouled. Extra doughy. It’s not bad , but nowhere near what it was.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. And the slices are ginormous.

Best pizza in town!! Wish I could pick a favorite, but I can't they're all good. They're a small place & often busy - if you have to wait, be patient & order a soda or beer or hard kombucha, sit back & enjoy the people watching...good things come to those who wait.
They had me standing waiting for a pizza like a fool for over an hour

Fantastic pizza at this little hole in the wall shop in Nevada City. I wasn’t expecting the pizza to be so good but it definitely exceeded my expectations. Got a slice and ate it on the bench out front of the shop. Highly recommend if you’re hungry in the area and want a quick slice.

Finally, a Slice of Perfection!
Having lived in NYC for 16 years, I feel like my pizza standards are high (important to note I also eat a lot of bagel bites). After three years in California, The Pizza Joint in Nevada City is the only place that has truly satisfied my craving for authentic, delicious pizza. The crust is perfectly crisp, the sauce is balanced with just the right amount of tang, and the toppings are fresh and generously applied. It feels like a little piece of New York right here in California. The atmosphere in the little shoppe is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly and passionate about their craft. If you’re a pizza lover, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll be coming back again and again!
Delicious is an understatement. It's DELICIOUS. Always so nice even when they are super busy. It's not a sit down restaurant, but that is okay with me cause I live close. We will definitely be going again.

Atmosphere is good. It only scores a 3 because it isn't a dine in place. This pizza is the real deal. Anytime we are going to Reno or in the area we make an effort to stop and grab a slice. Great new York style
