    Small cheese, fries, 2 medium with many different toppings.

    D'boni's is a local legend in Escalon, and for good reason. I've been going for the last 15 years, and it continues to have the perfect atmosphere, the pizza is 10/10, and the employees are always friendly, welcoming, and polite. Pizza: Hands down, I have never had better pizza. It doesn't compare to the traditional types of pizza, but it's the best I've ever had. Going inward from the rim, it's crispy/cracker like, chewy with crispy under layer, and then a soft middle. The dough gets very hydrated by the sauce, and it leaves a wonderful soft texture in your mouth. The dough itself is a specific experience at D'boni's, I almost want to call it California tavern, or just a thicker old-school west coast take on NY hand tossed, with a lower hydration dough. I'm no pizza expert though . The amount of sauce and cheese is perfect, and as a whole, it never feels dry in your mouth (personal least favorite thing is dry pizza) Experience: The salad bar has good options, and the calzones are just as good as the pizza. I have yet to try a burger here. The employees are ALWAYS friendly and polite, ever since the first time I stepped inside. It's a wonderful atmosphere for families and children, their arcade games are entertaining, although dated, but it fits the theme of the pizzeria and I don't think anyone is complaining, especially being a small town business. Yes, you can win at the claw machine, I've done it before. Notes: - Even as an adult you will see me creepily in the arcade area. - Not sure if manzanita sol is still on the soda fountain, but it should be because their fountain manzanita sol is the best, especially paired with pizza. - I want them to sell merchandise online!!!!! The pizza has remained the same throughout all of my visitations and never disappoints, same with the friendly demeanor of employees. I live in Texas, and I frequently mention how much I want to return. My girlfriend who doesn't like pizza says the same thing, and agrees it's the best pizza experience she's ever had. D'bonis is a heartful and personal place to a lot of people, and just thinking of the atmosphere and pizza makes me smile.

    Was very excited to give D'boni's Pizza a try. It's a small town that's been around since the 80s with years of league team photos adorning the walls. There's in a small arcade room that appears to have been there since before computers, along with a scattering of other games to keep the children entertained. Located in a small strip mall with foodie options in an equally small town. I feel like a pizza snob by saying this isn't my type of pizza. The crust had a crunchy cracker taste with no hint of yeast, and the sauce was on the sweet side which equals m'eh to me. I prefer a charred chewy yeast tasting dough. Order from the counter as you walk in and you're given a number. Staff is friendly and accommodating with my special requests. For presentation, this is a 5 star pizza with noticeable attention to detail. The toppings were in abundance and not just scattered but nicely placed on the pie, covering the entire pie. Not leaving a huge crust area was helpful with ordering a medium pizza because large is not available. I would go as far to say this is the best looking pizza. Size options are mini, small, medium & X large. Hubbs and I barely ate half a medium pie. For the babes we ordered a small cheese sticks made with the pizza dough. You can really taste the cracker taste with the cheese bread. The pizzas appear to have been cooked in a conveyor oven that is heated from the bottom because the crust is very crispy on the bottom, but the top is still a little on the doughy side and the cheese doesn't have that bubbled cooked goodness. This is a good local pizza parlor but I wouldn't go out of my way. If you're out for a drive in the country this a solid pizza place that's good for a large group and families. You know you're in the country because as we were leaving, we were hit with a strong aroma of cows!

    Saw this pizza place & had to look it up. It looked good so I had to try it. Ordered a combo pizza(minus olives) & fried zucchini. Fried zucchini was cooked perfectly! Crispy on the outside & not soggy on the inside. Pizza was delicious! A true quality pizza. Service was good & friendly staff. I would definitely recommend!

    Popi's pizza, this place makes the best pizza in CA. I've traveled all over the state and this is the best

    Best pizza in CA, I've traveled all over CA and no one does it better than D'boni's We currently live in Roseville but will be making regular trips here when we crave Pizza

    This place was our first stop on our way to Pinecrest and it's definitely a win! Food is amazing! Even have gluten free options for my wife! Arcade games are such a plus for the kids! Super friendly and great customer service!! 5 stars!!

    My X-Large pizza was soooooo doughy today.  Not even tasty today. I bought half meat and half garlic chicken.

Tahoe Pizza did not disappoint, the pizza was scrumptious, cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot on! The Italian sausage was made with beef and not pork which was a yummy surprise! Because the prices are sooooooo reasonable, we had to keep adding on just to use the $50 coupon. Besides the large pizza, we were able to get 18 delicious wings, extra crispy with 3 different flavors. We went with garlic parm, bbq and buffalo, just perfect. If that wasn't enough, we got a dozen piping hot potato wedges! We bought 2 sodas also. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was even better if that's possible. The young man, Mark, was attentive, genuine and super friendly. He made the experience twice as nice. It's the kind of service that unfortunately has become hard to come by. It was quite the treat. So next time you're looking for fantastic pizza and more, consider Tahoe Pizza. It looks to be family owned and they deserve a huge shout out for putting their very best out there. They've only been open a couple months, so give them a try. You will not be disappointed!!

We ordered: California Roll - 5 - I would appreciate some julienned cucumbers but many sushi-ya's no longer put those in. They add a bit of texture and flavor. Spicy Tuna Roll - 5 - Just the right amount of heat. The rice was good. I'm not sure that it was seasoned but there was enough flavor in the Tuna. Inari - 5 - A very simple dish. Sushi rice stuffed into tofu skins that have been cooked in a seasoning liquid. I wish places would offer Inari stuffed with rice, green peas, slivered egg and bamboo shoots. Of course they would charge more but that's okay. Egg Rolls - 5 - Mostly stuffed with Cabbage and Carrots. These are delicious after they've cooled down from the fryer. I could eat these everyday. The inside of the restaurant was spacious and clean. If we didn't have the Princess with us, we would have eaten in.

We live in Riverbank and always want to support small businesses. On this visit, it was very loud and somewhat busy with the annex room full with a birthday party and then an additional party in the main room. All that was fine except for the volume. It was incredibly loud. But what I noticed most was that this place was very dirty. Tables hadn't been attended to of people that had already eaten and left. The salad bar had food thrown all over. But still, we decided to stay and eat. We ordered food and drinks. I ordered a calzone and my wife ordered a small pizza. I had to wipe down my table and clean it because it was dirty and not attended to. When we went up to get drinks. They were all out of ice. So we let them know in about 10 minutes later a young man put ice in the top. After 45 minutes of waiting for our food and still not getting it. I went up to the counter and asked if our food was getting close. Meanwhile, the place was still dirty tables unattended to and the salad bar looked exactly the same. All this why I saw two workers sitting at the bar, maybe on a break? But the timing of this seemed off to be honest the young man said that our food had just came out and they were cutting it up. About five minutes later, our food was delivered to the table. However, my wife's pizza was wrong. We checked the ticket and the ticket didn't match what she ordered. She told the guy to not remake it that she was hungry cause we've been sitting there for so long, so she just ate what was presented to us. It was at that time that I Voice, my displeasure for seeing workers sitting at a bar and the place in shambles and then our food comes and it's wrong. He just listened to my complaint and had nothing to say. He then asked for my wife's name and said that the next time we came back, she would get a free pizza. And I thought to myself, next time? Why not go ahead and take the pizza that you got wrong off of the bill? Next time, doesn't mean lost profits. If we don't return, then there's nothing lost. At this point we just really wanted out of here. I don't trust the fact that her name is on some sort of a list that's ongoing for screwed up orders. When you look at the reviews online about this business, really focus on the last 12 months. So many reviews are about customer service, rudeness, and overall performance. From now on, as much as I don't want to, we will go to Mountain Mikes.
