    Beer battered garlic fries
    Ted F.

    This place was definitely worth the 30 minutes wait on a Friday night for dinner for two or more. We went as a couple and were greeted professionally, encouraged to continue shopping in the village as we waited for our table and once ready seated promptly. The place was filled with both diners and staff making the experience flow effortlessly. Our food was so good! For an appetizer we started with the beer battered garlic fries and beer and for our main enjoyed the Smokey BBQ chicken pizza. The pizza was expertly prepared and the flavors all blended perfectly. The crust was amazing. I could eat just the crust as an appetizer plain or dipped in marinara. The interior and exterior of the restaurant create a relaxing vibe.

    Live music, hot pizza really,what more can I ask for Got three pizzas Mediterranean, some chicken bacon , and the barbecue Two beers Deshutes King crispy ale Southlake Tahoe brewery blood orange All were good and quickly eaten by other people at the table lucky for me. I got the Mediterranean for myself.and shared with my girlfriend who may have not gotten much food as fast as it was going Service check the bonus quite often and was friendly.

    Would come again? Yes Various pizzas to choose from but you always got to try the thai curry pizza. The dough wasnt the best and was pretty dry and tough, but overall flavor was there. Service was quick since we ordered ahead and picked up at the separate window on the side. Havent dined in but has great outdoor vibes with live music.

    Ordered 3 large pizzas and one wings. Satisfied 9 people! Leftovers too. Water all around for our table and service fast. They checked in on us often. No split checks to just pay your friend. Loud and plenty of outdoor seating. Bathrooms shared with the village so cross the walkway and go there. Delicious fresh ingredients with crispy crust. They offer ranch to dip your pizza - I like buffalo sauce. Eat here! I walked from my hotel.

    We loved our time here. This was our second visit. Our first visit was 4 years ago. The weekend we got married we were staying in the Heavenly Village and this was one of the places we ate at during our visit. We sat inside in the bar area the table against the window. It was very cozy. We ordered pizza and the spinach artichoke dip and really enjoyed our meal. On this visit we were here to enjoy their live music. Last time we were here I could swear that the music was located in the alcove to the right of the restaurant. This time the stage is to the left next to the main outdoor dining area. The stage is there right by the reception desk. We arrived around 4:30pm and inquired when the live music would start and they said 5/5:30 so we sat in the walkway for a little bit deciding if we were too early to get a seat. Seating is first come first serve. They don't take reservations. There were people being seated as we were deciding so I took the plunge and got us great seats right in front of the stage, or maybe 1 table back from the stage. Still great seats. Soon as I was seated the waves of people showed up. They started taking numbers and paging them when their tables were ready. Service was great. We weren't rushed at all. We stared with the pear Gorgonzola salad. We subbed out the Gorgonzola for Parmesan as I'm not a Gorgonzola fan and that wasn't an issue. The salad arrived fresh and tasty and beautifully plated. It was served with tongs so it was perfect to share. We got the larger size. After finishing the salad we got the artichoke and spinach dip with pita chips. The pita was perfectly toasted and so tasty. It was as good as it was the first time I had it 4 years ago. For drinks he ordered the old fashion and thought it was perfectly made. I got the ginger ale and it wasn't strong enough. It was quite weak so I didn't finish it. The live music was a perfect compliment to the evening. I loved his choice of songs. He did great on his acoustic guitar and song ballads. I'm not a rock fan at dinner time so this was perfect. The weather was perfect. The area we sat in was shaded so we didn't melt in the sun and sitting next to the building it wasn't too windy at night. I highly reccomend Base Camp PIzza.

    We ordered Base Camp Pizza about an hour ahead of time to pick up and take over to the lake for dinner. It did take a little longer than expected, but we knew they were busy and were prepared for a wait.We ordered an extra-large pepperoni pizza and a Caesar salad. I really liked the Caesar salad the dressing had a little bit of spice to it, which made it really good! The pepperoni pizza was also delicious. I'm actually pretty picky when it comes to pizza and don't love a lot of places, but this was one I definitely enjoyed. Overall, it was a great dinner to take to the lake, and I'd definitely order the pizza again!

    Pear and walnut salad
    David R.

    Base Camp Pizza was an awesome experience! The atmosphere is fun and lively, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was surprisingly quick even with how busy the area can get. We started with the Pear & Walnut Salad and substituted the blue cheese for feta -- absolutely amazing! The combination of flavors worked perfectly, and the feta was a great choice. For our mains, we got the BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was incredible. Great flavor, plenty of toppings, and exactly what you want from a good pizza. We also tried the Spaghetti Bolognese, and that was just as impressive -- hearty, flavorful, and delicious. Everything we ordered was fantastic, and between the food, friendly service, and fun environment, we had a great experience. Definitely a spot we'd come back to next time we're in South Lake Tahoe!

    thai chicken curry, the base camp pizza
    Dana T.

    For a place that automatically adds 20% gratuity to parties of 6+, the service and food here is extremely mediocre. Like many others, I fell for the hype and was excited because it was popular enough to have a wait. However, it is extremely crowded and dirty inside. The servers are very dismissive because they are so busy and the plates and cutlery provided are dirty. Overall, the food in combination with everything was very mid. The chicken wings are so dry and underwhelming with 0 flavor. The mozzarella sticks and pizza were decent but nothing special. It is comparable to CPK or Blaze Pizza with a much higher price point.

    Janet N.

    Still my favorite pizza spot in Tahoe! My top 3 recs are the Thai chicken curry, pear Gorgonzola, and Basecamp. The Thai chicken curry is by far my favorite pizza. It's unique, packed with flavor, and beautiful. The pear Gorgonzola is always a tough sell when I bring people in but it's shockingly delicious. Like a charcuterie board in a pizza. The Basecamp is a staple and unless you don't like mushrooms it's a winner!

    We took my daughter and her 3 friends for dinner here last night.So busy even on a Thurs night at 8pm! Sat outside right away luckily! Great service and food was delicious. My husband and I shared base camp pizza and pear salad,it was so good. My daughter got hummus app and her friends got pizza and Margarite personal pizzas

    We've heard so many great things about Base Camp Pizza, so we decided to give it a try! We ordered the classic Margherita pizza along with a small house salad. There was no wait to be seated indoors, although there was a short wait for outdoor seating. The restaurant had live music on the front outdoor patio, creating a great atmosphere. As for the pizza, the marinara sauce wasn't sweet, which we absolutely loved! The pizza was loaded with cheese and packed with flavor. To our surprise, we barely used any ranch for dipping, which we normally do. Service was fast, and overall, we really enjoyed our experience!

    Medium Hawaiian
    Wendy F.

    Pretty quick and accommodating for 11 people we did come on a Friday for lunch so maybe that's why but we didn't have to wait long. Was like a 5 min wait as we did a walk in. They do charge automatic gratuity of 18% for six people or more. We all got different things, but a few of us shared two pizzas, the base camp and the Hawaiian. Both were actually really good and loaded with toppings and were fresh. Service was great, the cups were big and our server kept coming to refill waters and check on us. Really nice vibes inside. Highly recommend!

    Classic Margherita Pizza
    Rose C.

    A very popular spot in the Heavenly Village. You get in line to place your name on the waitlist. The aroma of the pizza filled the air! The place was lively with chatters. The live music entertainment turned up the volume even more. Friendly staff! But the highlight was the food! Everything we had was delicious! The calamari appetizer had just the right breading and crunch. The Mediterranean and the Classic Margherita pizzas were delectable, fresh, and balanced! The robust flavored Classic Tomato Basil pasta was one of the best I had.

    It's probably best to call them and ask via the telephone call.

    Do you take reservations?

    Looking to order 10-12 pizzas for Thursday May 12th. Is this something you want us to order in advance or just order same day ?…

    Well, probably not actively snowing! They have heaters but no real covers ....

    What vegan options are there?

    I'm not 100% sure about vegan options but their salads can also be ordered without any meat! I would still ask about the dressings they use, but most of the salads either come with a balsamic dressing or their homemade citrus dressing. You could…

The food was already ready when I arrive for pick up. Since it's in a communal food hall, you can grab takeout utensils and napkins from the bussing stations. One thing to note, you should probably bring your own bag. I got everything separately in different containers, so stacked in my passenger seat in the car, I kinda held on to the items during turns, etc, to prevent them from falling over. I did ask and they do not have bags here. Okay, food wise, I thought the pizza was fine. The crust was breadier than I prefer, but the hubs likes his pies more substantial, so he enjoyed it. The kale salad was fibrous and tough, which was actually what I wanted. A lot to eat by itself, but I actually had green leaf lettuce at the house, so added that. The dressing was very lemony and leaked kinda all over. Luckily the box is paper so it was mostly soaked up. The wings were meaty and fulfilled craving. Convenient if I want pizza slices and it's by the house. REVIEW #4063

Cuisine variety is not the best compared to SF or SJ, but I do like trying new places. So after deciding on pizza, I suggested checking out Blue Dog. Ordering online was simple. I believe I just used their website. Getting a half and half was my way of trying two pizzas. I think the crust was thinner than the hubs prefers, but it was fine for me. I like a thinner crust. He's not as into pesto as I am, so he enjoyed the red side more. Like children, I liked them equally. Tho I do prefer my pizza cheesier. The salad was fine. Pretty standard. The box they put it in had holes in it so I kept finding pieces of cheese, lettuce, etc, everywhere. I think maybe they need to use a different container cuz I think it's meant for things that need to be vented like chicken wings? Price wise, $39 for a large pizza and a small salad sound about right. Not cheap, but not expensive. I do have a thing about charging for credit card processing. I wish they would just build it into the price like before when merchants were not allowed to charge a fee. Anyways, they do charge a 3% cc fee. Am I mad I came here? No. Will I be back? Not sure. Everything was middle of the road, so 3 stars. REVIEW #3963
