    After a somewhat long drive from Yosemite is stopped at this restaurant for pizza and also I had lasagna. Service was good. Food was very good. Also, I'm a little hard to judge because in the dining room they had some of the restaurants equipment. I don't know if this is permanent or just matter chance this would be the one thing that might take a point they had a good selection of pizza toppings

    Boneless wings
    Michael P.

    Came by here after hiking rainbow falls, and did not disappoint! Food and service was top notch! My group ordered a ginormous pizza and some boneless wings, pretty much fed a party of 6 hungry people. The go-to dish here has definitely got to be the pizza. Boneless wings were okay for what it was. Cheese and bread on the pizza tasted freshly made. Would come here again for some carb load after a long hike.

    Gluten free pizza with eggplant, tofu, spinach, and vegan cheese.
    Erin H.

    Very cute, family pizza joint vibes. The main reason this place gets 5 stars is customer service. Our server was super nice. We ordered a gluten free pizza with eggplant as a topping, not knowing the eggplant is fried in wheat flour. When it arrived and I asked, the server said they use the same eggplant that's used in their eggplant pasta dish (which isn't clear on the menu.) when she learned I'm gluten free, she offered unprompted to Make a second pizza free of charge with olives in place of the eggplant. We kept the original pizza as my partner had taken a slice before I realized. They made sure the pizza came out quick so I could eat at the same time as my partner. Wow! So so nice of them, was really above and beyond. The pizza itself was great! Love that they have a vegan protein option (tofu), which tasted similar to a traditional sausage. They weren't skimpy on the cheese or other toppings, and the crust was nice and crispy. We will definitely be back. Thank you to our amazing server! Also, it gets busy so come early if you don't want to wait (though it does have a ton of seating on the inside).

    bbq chicken pizza
    Sarah C.

    this place was busy but there was self-seating in the bar/lounge in addition to restaurant seating where you wait for a host to sit you. we ordered the: - cheesy bread ($9.95): pretty average, generous amounts of stretchy cheese - pad thai chicken pizza (medium, $24.95): I didn't think the peanut sauce was prominent at all (or maybe just very unevenly distributed), which made the pizza not really taste like pad thai. having some nuts would have added a nice crunch! - bbq chicken pizza (medium, $24.95): this was pretty good, the bbq sauce was more on the sweet side than smoky side

Expecting customers to tip before they have evaluated the service or even laid eyes on their food is a highly objectionable business practice. This policy is especially frustrating when the subsequent service and food quality fail to justify that forced investment. As out-of-town visitors, we found the pub completely unaccommodating. There were zero instructions on how to order, making it feel exclusively geared toward locals who already know the routine. We had to flag down a staff member wiping tables outside just to learn we needed to scan a QR code. The service we received after being forced to tip was incredibly disappointing. Our beet salad arrived first, but the runner dropped it off and vanished so quickly that we couldn't ask for a second silverware setting. Since we intended to share the salad, we had to wait. The salmon plate didn't arrive until roughly 15 minutes later. When we finally managed to ask our waiter for the extra silverware, he treated a basic hospitality request as a major inconvenience. Getting a simple fork felt like pulling teeth. The value for the price is simply not there. The grilled salmon plate was remarkably small--well under three ounces of fish. To make matters worse, the accompanying vegetables consisted of literally three skinny asparagus spears and two even thinner carrots. Between the aggressive upfront tipping, the small portion fish size, and the dismissive attitude of the staff, this establishment has massive room for improvement. I am leaving a two-star rating in hopes that management will reconsider their ordering system and address these glaring service deficiencies.

The menu was super sticky and dirty and I don't like when I have to tip before receiving service which is the only option when you order from the QR code unless you want to leave cash at the end. The flatbread pizza was pretty bad. My kiddos only took a couple of bites. I tried it and the bread was pretty tough. The quinoa falafel bowl was just ok. The salad portion was refreshing but the falafels were super dry. The service was lacking, the person who delivered our food was not friendly and I kept getting overlooked at the counter when I tried to order drinks.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced.

The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest. Really great spot I would recommend in a sea of terrible touristy Mammoth dining establishments.

However, they do offer happy hour menu and slices. I recommend and typically order take out when I stay in a cabin walking distance to the Village.

I read that they rest the dough for 48 hours. The tomato sauce is on the more acidic side, which I really like. For the area, I do think the pizza is pretty value for bigger groups. They have two sizes basically Large (16") and XL (20"). We usually order the supreme pizza or their version of a margherita. For a 20" Supreme, it was about $50 after tax and tip. We shared between 5 ppl and each person got about 2 very large slices and was pretty full. I ate 1.5 slices . $10 per person for dinner for the Mammoth area after a day of skiing is a steal !

And yes I did time it so that's why I'm saying I'm sorry but your attitude for 10 minutes worth of wait doesn't justify your anger" We asked to be compensated because customers who waited far less than we did were treated better. We were never asked whether we wanted our food together or separate, so please don't make that up. Even after finally receiving our food, we still had to go back up to get the drinks we ordered. Throughout the interaction, we were met with disrespect and never once received an apology for the excessive wait--only attitude. Saying "sorry we weren't up to your standards" misses the point. Basic respect and customer service are not high standards; they are the bare minimum.
