I've worked at a few pizza spots and I'd like to think that I know a good pizza. This place is bomb, better than any pizza in Sacramento. Dough is wonderfully fermented and has a great bite and flavor. I got half truck driver and half barbecue pizza, it was so good haha. They don't skip out on toppings and the employee Kassandra was so sweet!! Only thing I'm going to say is this pizza is definitely best enjoyed piping hot at the restaurant, the dough is thin and crispy. It'll get a little soggy if you give it enough time. Genuinely 5/5 pizza if you're thinking about a spot up hwy 80, this is the one! read more

An unfortunate location but a fortunately delicious meal. We had the Fresh Groomers salad (crunchy veggies) and the Special Blend pizza. Pizza is thin crust but wonderfully crispy. Worth the 15 minutes drive out of Truckee. Best pizza since Steamers in Kings Beach closed. read more

Really cool lady who is working the counter. Have to buy something if you use their bathroom. Beer on tap is great!!

I just had a hot slice of pepperoni pizza. One of there last 2 pizzas. Ran out of dough by 4:30. It was great! Kassandra greeted me with a huge smile and how's your day.....mind you she had been slingin pizzas to people who had been sitting on the freeway for min 3 hours just to get from Truckee to there. Anyone who's ever worked in service can imagine what she'd been thru. She was kind and accommodating to her customers. You are appreciated Kassandra! read more

Pizza here is fantastic--truly a real gainer-style pizza! The crust is especially impressive: flavorful, perfectly baked, and the kind you keep thinking about after you leave. This is definitely a spot I'd try to stop by every time I'm visiting Lake Tahoe. Kassandra provided excellent service as well. She was warm, attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the service! read more

I didn't catch the gal at the registers name but she was incredibly friendly and very accommodating. My daughter wanted some pineapple on her cheese pizza and she assured us it was no problem. They have fun games to play while you wait for your food. The lady working offered to take a picture of my daughter and I, which was very sweet. This was the perfect place to stop after boarding. read more

We had such a great time at For Real Dough. We came a bit close to closing, but Kassandra made us wings, breadsticks, and four pizzas. Her service was so incredible and we are so grateful for doing all of that for us at a late hour. The pizza and apps were delicious too. The hot honey pizza and wings especially were our favorites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was simple but offered plenty of seating and very clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back next time. read more

To not let a child use a bathroom when they have been sitting in 3 hours of traffic on the mountain was just wrong. Will never give my business to this place for that reason. The old lady was so rude. read more

5 Stars My family and I just got done off roading about an exit away when we needed to stop by the gas station to pump air in our tires... I already told my husband I booked a reservation on the way home for another restaurant but we couldn't wait ANY longer to eat so I saw this place right next to the gas station. I googled the place and saw great reviews. I placed an order for pick up (as we were pumping air) and decided to park in front right after. The food was supposed to be ready in 25 minutes but we didn't get to pick up our food until 35 minutes later. THE. WAIT. WAS. WORTH. IT. The food was fresh out the OVEN! The wings were so delicious! The flavor! The thin crust! The crunch & sauce! My goooddd... we just found our pizza place! YES ITS OFF THE HIGHWAY BUT IF YOURE HUNGRY YOURE GOING TO WANNA EAT HERE AND NOT GET SNACKS AT THE GAS STATION. Lol. It truly is the best pizza in town! It was also a treat after a full day of off-roading. We took the pizza to go and ate in the car on the way back home (2 hours away!) I wish I took pictures but I honestly would eat here than in South Lake Tahoe. This is definitely our go to spot! Whether we're hungry and coming back from SLT or on the way SLT. This is the type of food you want on the road lol! read more

Spectacular -- gimme 14 of 'em! Placed a pickup order but I wanted to stay the whole day! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a cozy and welcoming place that felt like home this time of year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The classic pepperoni was delicious-- could not have been more perfect!

Passing through on my way to Reno and decided to grab a quick bite, let me start off by saying Kassandra's costumer service was immaculate, very sweet and informative! She let me know that the dough is fresh made in house as well as the sauce and sausage. She made my experience so delightful it was like a ray of sunshine on a stormy day!! And the pizza was very tasty as she said, the salad was super fresh she made it handmade with so much care. This place is a true hidden gem stop by and get some great pie! read more

Was coming off the mountains and wanted a quick bite before the drive home based on the good reviews we decided to stop here, we got a couple slices of pizza fresh out of the oven and one custom pizza, the environment was nice there was plenty of games to play while we ate and waited for the pizza , the service was Great the lady at the counter was very friendly and politely answered all of our questions. All in all this was a great quick stop after a day of snowboarding on our way home . Pizza was a little soggy/ soft I attribute that to the pepperoni the people after me ordered there's crispy clearly they had been there before I would probably recommend to order your pizza Crispy if getting a whole Pie ! read more

I think they're understaffed here. There aren't many options in this area so we decided to pop in. The girl at the register was low key crabby, when we went there were so many signs that you needed a key to use the restroom, when I asked she said she didn't know where the key is. I didn't understand. Was it because someone else had it? They lost it and it's not available for use? So many questions. When I expressed my confusion she told me to go to the gas station. Okay. A couple of seconds later saw a different worker with the key going to the restroom. When we placed an order, we were told they weren't taking any whole pizza orders at that time, we could only get slices. The pepperoni was great Bc it just came from the oven but the other slice we got was rock hard. $5 per slice with some beers on tap. $25 for 3 slices and a beer. Price is fair. If there were other options, would not recommend. read more

Tried the pepperoni pizza and the grasser pizza, both were absolutely fantastic! The crust was perfectly cooked. Great quality and service.

This place is amazing. The location is unassuming, but it is legit one of the best pizzas I've ever had. We got a whole fresh pie and it was absolutely delicious. The crust is thin and flaky and crispy, and the toppings are made fresh to order. You will not be disappointed if you stop here! read more

This pizza is truly the best i've ever had. Always made with love and care. The sauce and dough are handmade every morning making this pizza top notch quality. Cassandra is also the friendliest cashier and pizza chef. She has a very warm and inviting personality, always putting the customer first, and really enjoys getting to know you. 10/10 would recommend this place, and I will be coming back here on further trips. If you're looking for a quick bite they have $5 slices that are always hot and ready, and if you're looking for more of a sit down and hang spot they've got the perfect setting for that too. Lots of drinks to choose from such as soda, beer, apple juice, hot chocolate and tea. The pizza is not too pricy either with lots and lots of topping choices. read more

What delicious pizza and what a delightful experience we had!! We met Cassandra (working the counter and serving) and Ibiza (making the fab food), both of whom were warm and welcoming and made us feel like old friends. The pizza crust (made on site) had perfect flavor and was light, crispy and cooked to perfection. We had a yummy white sauce, chicken, bacon and broccoli pizza. Cassandra said they make their own marinara sauce too, so we'll have to try it next time. My husband and I ordered a large, thinking we'd have leftovers for the next day, but it was so tasty that we just ate the entire thing!! They have good beers on tap and some in cans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean and charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We played a good game of Connect Four while we waited for our pizza (which was done amazingly quickly). I HIGHLY recommend For Real Dough Pizza anytime you're close to Soda Springs, Donner area, and it's even worth the drive from Truckee!!! We'll be back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]BTW, the restaurant is upstairs, so don't panic (like we almost did) if it looks dark downstairs, they are open 12-9pm![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Kassandra and Azizas we pronominal. The atmosphere was fantastic and the pizza was on point. Fo Real Dough

We arrived with a family of 11 and wanted to order 3 pizzas and some wings. However, we were informed that we could only get the slice pizza available in the warmer, and no wings could be made. Since we had a long ride home, we each grabbed a slice, but we didn't enjoy it. The pizza tasted old, as if it had been sitting in the warmer for a while. I'm not sure how long the slices are kept there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Additionally, there were only two other people in the location, so it was not busy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of our go-tos in PlaVada/Kingvale. Solid Calzones and beer selection. The kids love the board games while we wait If you're not fighting the snow-park rush, service is attentive and prompt. If you're facing the rush and placing a phone order, I've been politely turned away a few times though (4-6 on weekends/holidays). read more

This is no high brow pizza shop, but it's a fantastic place to hang out with the locals and play a few games on the Nintendo emulator. Our cabin is located nearby and the kids are huge fans of this place. The owner is a wealth of information on the history of Donner Summit and great to chat with. If you're going close to closing time call ahead to make sure they still have the oven on! Have been many times, and will continue to patronize this place... read more
