Just hands down the best pizza in Manteca! From the crust, sauce on toppings! The restaurant is clean and the service is great read more

Absolutely amazing. From the time you walk in the door, you are absolutely thrown back in time from the little wanted QR code posters to the old-school style. Replicate a cash register. The chandeliers on the ceiling give you romantic lighting. You have the gold leaf decor It's truly beautiful and perfect in every way. I think the only area of the decor that is lacking is that the pictures on the wall don't match the name of the business or the look that they're going for. The gold frames are nice on some of the pictures, but the pictures themselves should definitely be changed out. This is absolutely the perfect size for a pizza place. Small and conveniently located. Customer service is beyond excellent. I can definitely see this being a really cool hangout spot for small groups. When it comes to cleanliness, I don't know that I've ever seen. The interior of a restaurant this clean. And that speaks volumes for the business and how much the employees and the owners care about it. I know that this is an express location, so it's more for to-go-based orders. But the only thing I find as a disadvantage for the people who want to eat inside is that they don't have a soda machine or an ice machine. They do offer to-go drinks, bottled sodas, etc. But that doesn't really do you any good. You could probably go to the gas station in the parking lot and get a cup of ice if it was really that serious. I don't like the ranch at all it's lacking flavor and is super tart just off putting. The spicy ranch is all jalapeño and maybe some chili flakes; not sure but it's just as off as the regular ranch. But everyone has different taste buds, and for some people, these ranches might be absolutely amazing. This is just my opinion. Now, although I believe the barbecue sauce is probably store-bought, it definitely makes everything taste better. And I would have to say I believe strongly that both versions of the ranch are made in-house. The breadsticks are wonderful and a good portion size. Make sure you get them with cheese and garlic. The pizza dough is good, definitely, ask for it to be cooked a little extra I think that crunch makes it that much better but the pizza sauce again is probably made in-house and is very Italian seasoning-forward very light tomato taste. It could definitely use some tlc to turn it up a notch but it's not terrible it just speaks to inexperience. Again just my opinion. NOTE TO THE OWNER, don't use the "menu" under the pizza or breadsticks it holds all the grease and oil and makes the food soggy. Just FYI I know it looks cool but doesn't work. Food is super filling but a little overpriced, I just see a few areas for improvement. Overall a great experience the customer service would have me come back by itself. read more

We've been going to the Ripon location for 10 years and have been so pleased there is a Manteca location now as well. Today I ordered in advance online around 9 am for pick up at 4:15 pm. The young men who checked me in at the counter when I picked up were so polite and sweet. I mentioned it was my son's 15th birthday today and wanted to add on a piece of chocolate cake to our order. He went back and got me the slice of cake and told me he chose the biggest piece for my son's birthday and wished my son a happy birthday as he rang me up. So sweet! The same young man was training another young new employee and he was doing such a great job training him and explaining why they do the thing he was training him on, the way they do it. You don't often see younger kids being so responsible and thorough these days, so it was amazing to see such a responsible and polite young man. Our pizza was ready exactly on time and everything was perfect! read more

I have been wanting to go to the Ripon location but then we found them close to my cousins place. A regular customer of their other locations, our friend, says they have the best pizza and gave us this box of a medium pepperoni to try. Yum!! I can't wait to order for myself someday soon They are located more in a residential area with a few other businesses and a gas station so not really had to find. I haven't yet to walk in but will update again when I come back joining them online and try their meal deal read more

Called in our order and usually we prefer going to Ripon since it's a sit-down but tonight we decided to give the express in Manteca try. Tonight, the new AI that sounds like an old gold minor was taking phone orders. The AI repeated and confirmed my order three times, yet when I got there, my Pizza had ham, after requesting no ham. Learned their AI system wasn't transferring information properly and there had been other incorrect orders. They quickly remade my order and bumped up the size from a large to an extra large. I was so hungry from smelling pizza and watching other people eat that by the time I got home, I had forgotten to take photos. Thanks to the upgraded extra large, we have tons of leftovers. Gold dust is a loaded pizza with lots of toppings and thick marinara made with wine. More like a pan pizza. This is a maximum two slices of pizza and you're stuffed because they're so loaded with toppings. If you're more a New York style pizza, then this isn't for you. This pizza is big, it's greasy, and it's super filling. read more

We love "Pizza or pretty much any good food Journey" and Gold Dust is one of our favorites. -Made a Manteca day trip with GDP (Gold Dust Pizza) as the final destination. -trip and town was cool. -Expectations were HIGH. the Amador location is our usual go to, as it's only an hour or so driving. LOL. -GDP always tastes delicious. Didn't expect this to be a satellite location. Super awesome for locals to pick up and go. I didn't expect to have to use the restroom across the parking lot in a gas station. Also bottle sodas only. I need a good self-serve fountain drinks station when i eat out. -verdict: Pizza is one of the best, but definitely not "Pizza Journey " worthy... read more

This is HANDS DOWN the best pizza I have ever had. We have had it a lot and it's always consistent with toppings that do not get skimped and crust that is deliciously crunchy with every bite! Feels light enough to where you don't feel bad afterwords but soooo delicious. Ambiance is nice! Small "speak easy" type vibes. read more

We did an order online which was an easy process. The prices were affordable and quality was great. We went on a Friday night, it was pretty busy inside but we were able to pick up our order quickly. Parking lot is small. Excited that there is Gold Dust closer to us. read more

We were staying at the Great Wolf lodge and decided to take the 15 minute drive for good fresh pizza. We found it at Gold Dust. The bread sticks and pizza were great! The place is smallish - with around 5 tables - but clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful! If we come back to this area - pizza at Gold Dust will be our first choice! read more

We were excited about Gold Dust setting up shop in Manteca! We used the website to place our order for pick up. Great pizza, good service, we will definitely order again. read more

Everytime we talked about pizza, this place always come up and were always hyped up. So we decided to finally try this place one day we were craving for pizza. Motherlode Pizza- a meatlover's dream pizza filled with salami, pepperoni, ham, linguica,bacon, sausage in red sauce and cheese overload. You get all meats in every bite and each one compliments them well. It's a meat party in your mouth. Cheese Pizza- although this is just your basic one topping pizza, it was such a delight. The cheese pull you get from it made it worth every bite. It's melted and gooey cheese goodness together with their red sauce was a flavor satisfaction. Boneless Buffalo Wings- I usually love my wings in traditional way, but since having braces made it impossible to gnaw on them bones clean so I opted for this one. Their Boneless wings were fried well, breaded lightly and juicy. The buffalo sauce does not overwhelm you with their tanginess. It has a nice mild kick and I can bite into it with no problem. These slices could not even hold up all the toppings because they weigh it down from being so loaded with them. They are not stingy with their ingredients so it was all worth the price you paid for. We ordered it to be picked up and their service was prompt and the food were ready and still warm when we got home. It was really worth all the hype and we are definitely going to be a repeat customer. read more

If you want to eat really good pizza go to this spot! The pizza comes out perfect each time.

So glad they opened the express location in Manteca. We have been going to their Ripon place for a couple years now. Best pizza around and this new location makes the same great pizza we are use to! Service is awesome. The place is mainly for take out although there are a couple small tables you can sit and eat at. read more

Gold Dust Pizza Express - Half & Half medium pizza - Pizza Near Me - Manteca, California

Very disappointing experience--twice now. I picked up a pizza order that was burnt and extremely dry. When I asked about it, Allison, the manager, said this is their standard way of baking pizzas. I was told I could come back the same day only for a remake, with no refunds offered. If you can't return immediately, you're simply out of luck which is a huge inconvenience for customers. This is also the second time we've had an issue. On a previous order, we got a triple pepperoni pizza with so much grease that oil leaked out of the box and all over the seat of my car. When I asked to speak with a higher-level manager, I was told she was the only person and no additional contact information would be provided. I've never experienced a place where fixing bad food or service is limited to one rigid option that only benefits the business. We've supported this company across multiple locations--their pizza spots (including Ripon), their ice cream shop, and Falcon's Lair but this experience has completely turned us off. Unfortunately, we won't be supporting this business any longer. read more

We were soooo excited Gold Dust set up shop in Manteca! We loved going to Ripon for pizza but now we can have it delivered to our home.. We used the website to place our order it was a breeze and the pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time! It was as though they brought the pizza oven with them because our pizza and wings were super hot. This was the first time trying the Lemon Pepper wings and those were on point.. Ordered our usual a digger and also tried the white chicken artichoke read more

Hands down one of the best pizzas we've had. Brought the family in to check it out, we got there almost closing time and they still served us and let us eat there. Miners special was enough to feed our family of 5. We were even able to get a specialty pizza with 2 different sets of toppings. We got half all meat and half white sauce chicken. It was overflowing with toppings, meat was flavorful and cheese was on point. Crust was perfect. The staff was so nice. Definitely our new favorite. Oh yeah, it also came with breadsticks and drinks for only $45. Definitely 11/10. Don't sleep on this one. Both gold dust pizza spots are legit. (Ripon and Manteca) read more

I've only tried the Ripon location once. I felt it was one of the Central Valley's best pizzerias. Good to know that they've chosen to have an express in Manteca. I purchased a combination online. Substituted ham for sausage and bacon for artichoke hearts. Toppings and crust are what makes this pizza great. Although, I was a big fan of Maverick's red sauce. Service was fast and most limited seats were filled. read more

6 yrs since we moved from the Bay and this was the first time trying this place out with the family. They did not disappoint! Awesome flavor and thickness on the crust! Ordered the Miner Moe's BBQ and Gold Dust Combo and the usual Cheese pizza for the kids. If you like Pineapples on your pizza Miner Moe's is a good choice! The Gold Dust Combo is a tasteful one as well. Definitely a go to! Staff was friendly and helpful as well! read more

I am updating and changing my review of the problems with pizzas. I ordered pizzas on Monday night and unfortunately they were not cooked all the way thru.. I had also experienced an issue last time I ordered too. I had tried calling Gold Dust but only got automated voice recording, so I had only given them one star. Monica immediately reached out and apologized. She even issued me a gift card, which was greatly appreciated. In my opinion this shows great customer service and work ethics to stand by your product. I will definitely try them again read more

Worst experience ever at this location spent over 230$ to feed my family here and was told can't get no sodas to drink because the sodas are only for dine out. Then was told if I wanted they can sell me 2 20 ounce sodas not to mention ordered a salad that I waited another 30 mins for because they forgot to cook the chicken and on top. Said my wings where fresh but are cold in the middle should of known this was going to be a bad experience when they got 2 other people orders wrong while I was there. read more

I was in last week I had a phone order and went in to pick it up and was asked if I had a online order and I replied no I have a phone order the girl that helped me yelled WHAT!! I looked around and composed my and said I have a phone order. I am say all this to say she was so rude even the other customers were taken back. I gathered my pizza and went got peppers and cheese which she never asked me if I wanted but I did notice she asked the other customers she also never spoke to them in that manner. So at this point I am taking it personal and I will never return. I will say that the pizza is excellent but her customer service for me was very undesirable and unacceptable. Training is needed. read more

Very polite and prompt service. Clean, inviting atmosphere. Delicious extra crispy regular crust with loaded sausage, etc. Easy online ordering. Just as good as the main restaurant in Ripon. read more

I was so excited to hear of this place opening close to home. We used to eat at Falcons Lair often and would order the pizza there all the time. It's so good and this place definitely has the same quality. This is the only place I will order pizza from now. I do try the sandwich and that is delicious too. My family also enjoyed the plain chicken wings with the spicy ranch. The inside totally gives Falcons Lair vibes too. So cute. read more

We are frequent flyers at the Ripon Gold Dust Pizza, love their Digger specialty pizza. It's a once in a while treat we look forward to every few weeks. I found out today there's an express location that recently opened in Manteca. Closer to home - great! And they deliver - woohoo! Today I ordered a Digger pizza online. Very easy to do. No guesswork. Straightforward. I received a few texts advising me the order went through, they were finding a driver, etc. It arrived on time, was hot as other customers had noted, was loaded with toppings, looked & smelled yummy. While it was tasty, a few comments about the express pizza vs. Ripon restaurant pizza. There was definitely a lot less cheese on the express version, and the crust wasn't as light and tasty. It was chewy, almost tough. It just didn't compare IMHO. On the other hand, I asked for extra light sauce, which they did. The delivery man, Miguel S. was super friendly. It was convenient and great for those who prefer delivery, but as far as quality, the Ripon restaurant wins hands down. I probably will use Manteca express again, but I can't see having to pay extra for more cheese when there's so little on the express pizza to begin with. read more

Absolutely the best pizza I've ever had! I ordered a cheese and pepperoni pizza from Gold Dust Pizza Express in Manteca, and it was incredible--oozing with cheese, perfectly hot, fresh, and the crust had that perfect crispy bite. The customer service was beyond amazing--friendly, fast, and welcoming. The entire place was spotless--clean tables, clean floors, everything looked great. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves truly delicious pizza! read more
