Is this even pizza? This is the type of restaurant that bought a "pizza-in-a-box" restaurant solution. Sauce was bland, cheese was tasteless. The salads are all prepackaged, and the added chicken was cold and nasty. Probably it all tastes better after several beers. read more

Our first time here and we will be back. Got 2 smalls, which could probably feed 3 people each. They put an unreal amount of toppings on them. Service was great. Staff was VERY friendly and helpful. Other things about the restaurant was the bathrooms were very clean. If management reads this, we went on Thursday July 17, 2025. Whoever was working that night was fantastic. read more

Stopped by on the way to Murphys. The pizza was okay, crust bottom was a little soft but the handle was cooked perfectly. The salads are premade and in a cooler. Service was friendly. read more

Wow, this place makes some great pizza! First time in Copperopolis while coming back home from a camping trip. Was Supercharging our Tesla in the nearby parking lot and was starving. The town center area was not very busy (it's August) but luckily this place as open! Interior is clean and had great decorations that fit the exterior/town theme. Service here was very friendly! We were greeted upon entering and thanked before leaving which was great. The medium size pizza was perfect to share for 2 people. They weren't cheap with the toppings like other pizza places. Most importantly, the crust is amazing! The crust is arguably the most important part of a pizza. The crust hear is perfectly cooked and crisp. Not burnt or too doughy either. The calzones looked amazing too. Definitely trying one next time. All in all, I wish this place was closer to where I live. It's about 1.5 hours away but I'll try to make it back again soon. If you're nearby or passing, do yourself a favor and try this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is my favorite pizza spot but the two last times we went- so not good. Didnt even wrap up leftovers. Garlic bread was like garlic powder poured on a toast end. Meatballs were cold and the pizza was soggy. Im so sad to even write this but even more bc I am hungry and think I will just go get a frozen pizza read more

Try this place. If you haven't stopped by the little town you need to put it on your list. Perfect to sit down, let the dogs run, have lunch, do your thing and this place such fresh amazing food. Great patio and the cauliflower crust is amazing. Each time we have stopped by no complaints service is friendly it's clean and fresh beer on tap too. They also have wines. Just fabulous! read more

We got the Motherload Meat pizza the boneless chicken mango habanero sauce and the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and everything was Delish!! Awesome food, service and everything!! read more

The food and service was so poor. Dirty glasses piled up in front of us and terrible service. We were ignored when we sat down and only when we had to speak up were we acknowledged begrudgingly. The service has really gone downhill sadly. It's unfortunate because it is a beautiful place, but probably won't be going back. read more

If you travel through here-- you need to try them out!! They won't disappoint We have been coming here for a few years and usually get a pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeño. Each time-- it's perfect. The crust is crispy, but not too much. They don't skimp on the toppings either. Reasonable costs too. They have a decent selection of beers on tap and full bar. This time they fancied up the drink by adding cute flower straws and some dried little roses. It's the like things that matter!! read more

A 10" pizza filled 2 travel-weary and hungry travelers. Not knowing which crust to choose, we went with the Original one. It was thick, chewy and flavorful. Enjoy! read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Worth the hour drive, every so often. Plenty of sitting area inside and outside.

Still the best pizza in this part of California...to me. We drive from Brentwood and get a pizza each time. Nothing at home compares. We usually get the veggie pizza, pepperoni, the combo, or the chicken pizza. read more

Best pizza I have ever had. They have other locations too. I have been to the one in Ripon and it was excellent.

My pizza was raw. Perhaps today was an off day. Raw dough is a serious health risk, those unfamiliar can refer to the CDC. Flour is a raw food, and commonly contains dangerous bacteria such as E. coli. Eating even a small amount of raw dough can make a person very sick. The pizza I was served looked delicious, but beneath the toppings was a thick layer of raw dough. read more

I love GREAT pizza. I am that person where I won't eat pizza unless it's fantastic. If it's just "ok" I won't take a second bite. The pizza here is phenomenal. The dough is chewy and absolute perfection s the toppings are big and hearty and high quality and delicious. The sauce, the cheese top notch. Highly recommend and so impressed to find incredible pizza in a small town. I hope these guys are around forever! read more

Really good pizza. Had a pizza for the vegetarian, gluten intolerant & meat lovers in our group. Everything was on point...except the counter help. Very nice kid but needs more training with the register. Big confusion about ordering and paying for 4 salads. Other than that food was really good and flavorful. Will definitely will be back. read more

The crew they had today was very unprofessional, had my friends waiting 30mins-1hr till they asked about their order and found out they never even started on their order and try blaming them for it. They didn't even want to comp them for the drinks. Very uncalled for read more

Stopped at this sweet joint after a morning of golf in Angels Camp. We ordered the Motherlode Meat Pizza with a Garden Salad. Within 20 mins, our loaded pie arrived. The pizza had a pillowy-soft, crisp crust brushed with perfectly seasoned tomato sauce. Whoever made our pizza was heavy with the toppings which we definitely did not complain about! If you're a must-have pizza with ranch enthusiast, you will not be disappointed - they have the perfect ranch for pizza! The staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, and food was delicious and came out quick! Can't wait to pop in again sometime in the near future! read more

Best pizza in Copperopolis and surrounding areas. Live music is always fun while I wait for my pie to go. I go with the gold dust. A large is plenty to feed some hungry folks read more

I'm from Chicago, where we have many opinions about many things, especially pizza. This place was a delightful surprise. Great service and generous portion sizes, and truly great pizza. The garlic bread/cheesy breadsticks thing was amazing. The combo meals are where it's at. You can get the breadsticks, a specialty pizza and four drinks for $41 (at the time I went). GENEROUS toppings to boot, too. read more

I recently tried Gold Dust Pizza as a take out option because I'm in the area for a little while and read some positive reviews and more importantly viewed some photos that looked amazingly mouth watering...and I'm in total agreement that this a fantastic addition to the quaint yet rich and stunningly beautiful Copper Square community. The vegetarian pizza bread was giant for the price and had plump artichokes and tons of flavor. I had to try the boneless chicken wings-garlic parmesan...with a side of ranch.. extremely tasty and I'm really picky about anything fried,YUM! And of course the Walnut Feta salad. I've included pictures of all 3 plus an updated menu. I really want to try a calzone next. I also need to mention the entire staff that I came into contact with was extremely cheerful and polite and the whole atmosphere was really cozy and warm feeling. read more

We found this place after a Google search of restaurants in the area after we got stuck in a road closure, we arrived right before closing, and were able to order a pepperoni pizza and a yuppie pizza (a.k.a. Margherita style pizza), along with some boneless buffalo wings. Everything was great! Even the ranch, which seems to be house made. We have passed this place hundreds of times while driving to & from Arnold & didn't know it was there, so glad we found it. We will definitely be back!! read more

Everyone, y'all gotta try this place. If you're around the area, DO NO miss out on stopping here for some fantastic pizza and salad. They definitely deserve the attention, which hopefully happens the more people start visiting, moving in, etc. Got the Motherlode Meatlovers pizza, walnut feta salad and coloma salad for six people and was beyond impressed. a) Everything was DELICIOUS. "Maybe the best pizza I've ever had", said my grandmother. b) The sizing of the giant pizza (largest size) for $30 was huge, thick-crusted and generously-covered woth toppings. All around: amazing place, sweet hostess and definently worth going back to whenever my family and I visit Yosemite again. read more

Food was fine. Staff were nice but panicked. I understand they were understaffed. But when we came in they could have told us there would be a long wait so we could have had the option to go elsewhere. Instead they took our order and we waited with our two little kids for one hour and 15 minutes for our food. By the time the food arrived we just shoveled some down then rushed out as our kids were hysterical and it was way past the baby's bedtime. This suggests they care more about getting our money than giving a good experience so we return. read more

I'm gonna give them 4 Stars only because I had a pizza for pick up. When I got to the cabin it wasn't the best. I'm gonna blame the 35 minute drive. I'm gonna eat there next time. read more

Everything else in the area was closed for the night and I just asked if I could get a salad to go. This was literally a few minutes before closing and I was like.. just anything with chicken on it.. or not... I'm not even picky at this point. The gal working was really nice and totally helped me out. Very much appreciated. read more

While visiting family and Sonora we decided to go out for pizza. According to them the best pizza nearby was in Copperopolis. We decided to try it and they were right. I had a medium cauliflower crust cheeseburger pizza. It was surprisingly good. I really liked the sauce and thought I could taste a hint of horseradish. Cauliflower crusts are tricky. You really have to eat them quickly because as they cool they get really hard. I had three pieces and believe I gained 1 pound. The cheese was gooey and the onions were nicely caramelized. It was topped with fresh Romain and tomatoes. The pieces we took home, I picked the Romain lettuce off because they got soggy. They offered both indoor and outdoor dining. The tables and doors were spaced out. The air conditioner was running and the staff were wearing masks. We chose to eat on the patio as we had our dog. There were fans in the covering, but I didn't notice any air movement. It was still nice to eat outside. We have been through Copperopolis before but never realized gold dust pizza existed. If you're in the area is a great place to eat. read more

Best in Town! Always Great service and good Pizza and drinks especially the bar. I never miss a chance to stop in at Golddust the people whonwork there make the place what it is! Highly recommend. read more

Pizza is amazing!! I would definitely go back. There is also a great babar with a good specialty drink menu. If you're driving thru, stop and give them a try and if you're a local, support local business and have a great time while doing so! read more

People are idiots with their 3 and 1 star reviews. Best pizza around, staff is always friendly and attentive. Keep it up!

The pizza here is sooooo good. YUM! Sydnie was our bartender and she whipped us up some delicious birthday cake shots. She was so fun to be around and we enjoyed our time in copper memorable, thank you! read more

Got the yuppie (margherita) and the gold dust (combo) pizzas togo. They don't take any online ordering yet even though their menu takes you to a page where it looks like you can order online, so if you wanna get it takeout, you gotta pick up the phone and call them. Pizzas were ready on time. They also have some ranch on the side which was good too. Both pizzas were tasty. Toppings were good and they have a good amount of pizza sauce. I got two larges and with 6 of us (2 kids), there was plenty of food. read more

Moe and Katie were fantastic on our stop at Gold Dust! Made us feel like locals. The pizza was some of the best I have ever had and the drinks were also very good! We also had the dry rub and Buffalo wings which were on point. Places like Gold Dust are the reason why I will be coming back to Copperopolis. Can't wait to visit again! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. We decided to have dinner here Friday night and that was a mistake. First, let me say that we weren't even acknowledged when we walked in. No idea whether you should seat yourself or wait to be seated. We finally decided to sit at the bar. Once we did, it was a solid 15 minutes to even get a drink. We had to ask for menus. The server kept trying to close out our check when we hadn't even ordered our food. Part of the problem here is that the staff is extremely young and I'm guessing inexperienced. Some training on basic customer service would probably go a long way in mitigating these types of issues. Unfortunately, the bad customer service was not redeemed by the quality of the food. The pizza was both overcooked on top and doughy on the bottom all at the same time. The chicken in the chicken bacon ranch sandwich was undercooked and disgusting. We sent that sandwich back and they did take it off of the bill. We struggled trying to get silverware and the sandwich was served in a styrofoam to go box. When I reminded the server that were dining in, she replied that's how they serve it. Not very environmentally friendly and neither is the fact that they give you plastic water bottles if you request water. We come to the area frequently and we won't be stopping here again. While there are not a lot of choices in Copperopolis, this place is to be avoided unless you like wasting your money. read more

considering the fact that this was the only open place after 8 PM and that the pizza was more than decent and the beer was good and cold, we really liked it. At the end of the day don't forget it's still a pizza place and a bar. Service was very hospitable and friendly and they really tried to make our late entry. Pleasant and hospitable. read more
