The pizza was large and had a vegan cheese.
The only problem I had is that it took then almost 45 minutes to make the pizza.
Other than that it was great.

After meaning to try Blind Onion since moving to Elko, I finally made it—and I’m happy to say the food did not disappoint!
My husband ordered the Sicilian sandwich, while I opted for a cheese pizza with onion and black olives. Both were solid choices—my pizza had a unique dough with a hint of sweetness, while the sandwich hit the mark with hearty meat and generous cheese coverage. We also indulged in an order of fried pickles. While they had a nice crunch, they lacked the tangy bite I typically expect.
To finish off the meal, we grabbed gelato from their creamery to go—a delightful touch that added to the experience.
While the food and flavors held up, I did have one concern—there was a gentleman in a green shirt with long hair walking around the food prep area with an open beer in hand and vaping near the kitchen. It was unexpected to see this in the restaurant setting, especially in a food preparation space. Not sure about the regulations on indoor vaping in Elko, but it seemed like something management should address to maintain a professional and food-safe environment.
Overall, Blind Onion delivered good food, and I’d return, but I hope they ensure their food prep area remains focused on cleanliness and professionalism to keep the experience top-notch.

The service was good. They were experiencing technical difficulties with the register when I arrived, which were resolved in a couple of mins. They checked on my order multiple times and communicated with me my food ETA. They appear to use a large stone oven?
The atmosphere was also good. Lots of guests who seemed to be enjoying themselves. I got take out.
Food was meh. I got the garlic cheesy bread. It looked decent. The cheese was inconsistently spread, too thin in places, too thick in places. Decent amount of cheese. Bread was buttered prior to being cheesed, which gave decent flavor.
And a 12 inch Greek pizza. The pesto sauce was overpowered by the hefty amount of cheese(ricotta and mozzarella, I believe). Very cheese heavy. The artichokes and onions were also good separately, but as a whole pie, they couldn't really be tasted. The sun dried tomatoes also tasted good by themselves, but were in spots not spread over whole pizza, causing bites of pizza that tasted only like sundried tomato. The green olives and onions were fine but didn't really add or subtract from the pie for me. The crust is thick and heavy. The pie could have been cooked longer for both the bread and pizza. The cheese was not fully melted. I would give the pizza a 2, and the bread a 3. The dipping sauce a 5.
The shining star was their marinara dipping sauce. It was slightly sweet, thick, and tasty.
I did not finish the food, I would not order it again. I would try some of their other things, though, next time I'm in town. I would also request light cheese in the future to see if that helps along with a well-done cook. Top was not fully cooked, bottom was cooked well. The ingredients seem to be of good quality.
The closest comparison is flying J/pilot pizza. Though if given the choice between the 2, I would pick flying J/pilot. They also have ice cream and root beer floats, though I didn't try them.
Total bill was 40 dollars. For a 12 inch Greek pizza and a cheesy garlic bread.

Ordered pizza 3 hours ahead for when we needed it and they sent me a ready text so we went and when we got there it wasn’t ready so they put it in the oven I asked how long it would take they said 15 mins so I left. Picked up my pizzas a bit later but by the time I went to eat it was too late the kids had already gotten a slice. They burnt 2 pizzas bad. My guest (visiting) were all disappointed especially after we told them they say it’s good pizza. I’ll never order here again. This pic is the leftovers after we had to eat it.

Very Impressed! We were staying the night in Elko on our way to California. My grandkids wanted pizza. So, naturally not having a Round Table Pizza in Missouri, we were going to order there. But, upon reading the reviews, we chose somewhere different, The Blind Onion. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad we did. We ordered over the phone with Jo, who was so kind and friendly.
We ordered two extra large pizzas and an order of spicy wings. Well, let me tell you, those pizzas and wings were delicious! We ordered one pepperoni sausage and one pepperoni and cheese. My family loved it. The pizza was cooked perfectly and had abundant toppings. My oldest grandson loved the chicken wings and said they were the best he's had.
So, if you're in Elko and looking for a Great pizza place, you will not be disappointed at the Blind Onion. Friendly staff and great food!

Ridiculous. Called in an order, she said it would be ready in 25 minutes. Got there and waited over 45 minutes after they told be “just a few more minutes”. and finally got it an hour and a half after calling in the order. I asked for my pizza well done, came undercooked and soggy. I got an extra side of sauce that I was charged for and didn’t receive. Had to ask 3 times for the extra side before they gave it to me.

The lady behind the counter was extremely rude. And the cook was even more rude. Took an hour and a half to get my pizza when we were the only ones there. I asked for a to go box for the pizza and one styrofoam box for my chicken tenders and fries. The cook threw two pizza boxes and about 8 styrofoam to go boxes down and the girl at the counter just set them down and said here you go. I haven’t had bad service at Blind Onion but today was a surprise….

Never going back! Not because of pizza but staff. I ordered pizza for takeout. Got home and it wasn’t cooked! I called to complain and was told I ordered it that way! For the price and past experiences there I want the pizza cooked! I asked for a refund I would bring the pizza back and was told no! I could bring it back to be cooked. I asked how was I supposed to cook it at home and the snotty answer was in my oven!! When I said I was going to complain to the owner she told me go ahead he didn’t care!!! Since living here in Elko this was by far my worse experience! Never going back or recommending it to anyone!

The rating above are generous because i am presuming they have good intentions. The comments reflect actual disappointing experience. I ordered a calzone, xl pizza well done (crispy crust) and slice of veggie pizza with no onions (well done). What I got was a very burnt calzone and so much sauce it was inedible. An xl pizza with so little sauce it wasn’t visible nor could it be tasted. And it wasn’t well done. And the veggie slice had many onions, wasn’t well done and had no sauce. I had to drive back to the restaurant next day because couldn’t get thru on phone. They credited calzone. A serious manager or owner would have been more generous with credit given the bad experience and lack of quality and inaccurate food prep. The bill was over $50 and based on what I received not worth even half that amount. It’s sad because it’s a small town and i am sure they mean well and work hard.

Got my pizza to go. It was amazing! The crust is braided, and some of the pesto got mixed in the folds. It is sooo good!
