“It’s a no for us. We had our wedding reception here at the Tavern and while the food and drinks were amazing, the way we were treated by management was awful. (Serving staff was wonderful!). We started working with Wendy (owner/manager I'm assuming) months before the wedding. She had to make it known from the beginning that she was doing us a favor by letting us come here on a Saturday night. We paid her $680 for a ton of food, that she was trying to say wouldn't be enough for 40ish people (it was, we had leftovers), and everyone bought their own drinks (39 open tabs they got from us that night). All in all, they got a pretty decent chunk of money from us and our group. When my party got to the tavern, they were told we had an hour and a half (this would put us at 6:30pm) before they would be asking us to leave. This was a huge shock, as Wendy never mentioned a time limit for our event. We were always under the impression that we could stay there as long as we want, as long as our party was buying drinks! Later in the night, we were told that we had to leave by 7 because they had another wedding party coming. This was also never mentioned to us during the planning. So they started bussing our tables while people were still sitting down and made everyone close out their tabs and leave the Tavern. Well we ended up hanging out there until 8:30pm and there was no other party that showed up. It was completely empty up until the time that my groom and I left, and they closed at 10pm. Bummer for them that they missed out on all the extra money from that second wedding party. On top of that, the chef came out to me while we were about to start cutting the cake and asked if we would like him to cut it for us. He offered so nicely, we said yes please and thank you and he did a a wonderful job. Then on our way out, they chased us down telling us that we had to pay for the cake cutting that was offered to us. And on top of all of that, they were trying to charge us $100 for "corkage fees", when there were never any bottles opened by us. I didn't get the manager's name that brought us the extra $150 bill for cake cutting and corkage but he was flat rude. After arguing with my husband and I, and asking the waiter how many bottles he saw (zero open), he did take off the over $100 for corkage, as he should have. Our waiter who took care of us all night, Jake, was literally amazing. He had our back that night, he helped us figure out all the mess that the Tavern caused and he got us back to feeling good about our wedding night. Honestly, if we could have invited Jake to the after party, we would have. Oh and Wendy was nowhere to be found during this whole thing. All this to say, don't expect any sort of decent service from management and don't try to have an event here. Management is rude, they act like they don't want you there, and they push business out the door. At least you can have a nice pizza tho.“

“About a year later, I decided to come back since it’s close to my rental, and I’m glad I did. This time, I had a much better experience overall. The food was noticeably better, well prepared, and enjoyable. The service was also improved, more attentive, and made the visit pleasant. It was a big difference compared to my previous visit, and I’d definitely consider coming back again.“

“So happy to have found this pizza parlor! We used to always go to a different one here in South Shore but it hasn't been as good as in past years so we thought we'd try a new pizza parlor. If you like a thick crust, lots of condiments and cheese, then this is your place! We always try a plain cheese pizza at every new restaurant. If cheese is good, then you know anything else will also be and the cheese pizza did not disappoint! We also had a custom order pizza with condiments to our liking and it was also phenomenal. I highly recommend this establishment.“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“We come up every winter and have been coming here for the past 5 years because it's definitely a local gem that everyone has to checkout at least once. It never disappoints. This place is awesome because:
1.) Hands down, THE best pizza in South Lake Tahoe with great speciality options.
2.) Amazing craft beer options that are changed regularly.
3.) Free pool and pinball!! (My kid learned to play pool here when he was 6 years old.)
4.) Always great music, chill vibe and atmosphere.
5.) Last but not least, the owner is very cool and always makes us feel at home.
We think we found pizza heaven in Tahoe. Drop by, get some great pizza & beer, play pool & pinball, and be happy. You won't regret it.“

“We stopped here on our way home after years of saying ‘we need to stop there’. I AM SO SAD IT TOOK US SO LONG TO DISCOVER THIS GEM! The interior is PRISTINE and way larger than it looks from the road; there’s extra long booths for larger parties that many places don’t have. I loved the 3-D dog tiles in the bathroom. We got the chicken parm sandwich, meatball sandwich and a take-home and bake BBQ chicken pizza (it came right on the tray you cook it in which was AWESOME). The food was INCREDIBLE. I’m from the East Coast and consider myself picky when it comes to Italian food and can say with certainty we will be back on every ski week we have!“

“We came in this weekend with a large group and were blown away. The bartenders were incredible, and we loved it so much we came back on Sunday. Highly recommend—prices are totally comparable to other tourist spots. If you want great food and then a full-on party, you have to check this place out.“
