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

Leftovers & branded parmesan packets

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.

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...

Half gold dust and half pepperoni

Ordered online, I liked how they send out text messages to let you know when it's ready. Once I got there , the ambience is so cute and vintage. Kind of small inside but very aesthetically pleasing. Was recommended to get the spicy ranch and it's a must! The pizza was so delicious and I like how the ham was shredded that was cool and different. Overall great pizza ! Highly recommended

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.

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.

Half & Half medium pizza

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.

I ordered a pizza today! It's mostly always good but today it was burnt. It was mostly crust. Hardly any cheese or pepperonis all crust.

Digger Pizza

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

Peppers and cheese off to the side.

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.

Burnt, soggy and raw. The sauce was sweet tasting and too thick. The topping just slid off when the piece was picked up. Had to throw away.

They have the best cash register I have ever seen. Very informative! Kyra is the best.read more

Worth Every Minute of the Drive!…read more We made the 28-minute drive from Tracy to try Happy Pizza, and it was absolutely worth it! We ordered a custom pepperoni and sausage pizza with their 3-cheese blend, and wow it was amazing. The pizza was loaded with fresh toppings, super cheesy, and had very little crust, just the way my kids like it. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care. We also got to sample the pepperoni sticks with hot honey, and they were incredible. The sweet heat from the honey paired perfectly with the pepperoni. Honestly, I could eat those every day... as long as I keep working out! The garlic knots were another highlight. They were soft, fresh, and seasoned perfectly, not overly garlicky, but just the right amount. They practically melted in your mouth with every bite. The customer service was just as impressive as the food. One of the owner's daughters helped check us out, and she did an amazing job. She was friendly, welcoming, and even offered my daughter a popsicle because it was such a hot day. Those little gestures really make a difference. To top it all off, the Jarritos drinks, Fruit Punch and Mandarin were the perfect finishing touch to an already fantastic meal. If you're looking for fresh, authentic pizza, amazing sides, and outstanding customer service, Happy Pizza is a must-visit. We'll definitely be making the drive again and honestly, we'd do it just for that pizza!
