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.
Nelson C.

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.

This is the first time I've ever crossed over a Doordash review to Yelp and I think it's for VERY…read moregood reason. I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense)

Wowwwwzaaa! Was craving Thai food and gave this little unknown place a try. Never knew this place…read moreeven existed. The restaurant is in a little old school strip mall, supperrrr tiny but don't let that deceive you. Inside was packed and there was a line outside too. Ordered to-go and they said 20 mins but it was more like almost 30-40 min. Truly worth the wait though. Will definitely be coming back to this spot! Also, got a peek in the kitchen and the cooks looked authentic and Thai? That's why it's so yummy! lol.

Review #1,006 Posted on 2.28.28…read more We stopped in here on a whim on Friday night the 27th while in town, actually originally to try another restaurant. This spot is in a strip mall on Louise Ave in Manteca. We got greeted & sat right away when we came in. The staff here doesn't stop moving, it's pretty much 3 people on the service side, they take orders, run food, & check on you. I believe the guy who checked on us a lot, I want to say his name was Lieness. Super nice guy, hard worker. The other ladies too. Food was good, for sure it's marked up, but I thought quality of the seafood, and the way it was cooked was good. I've got a high standard for the sauce, this one was for sure spicy, stayed on the seafood and corn pretty well. To me that's how you can separate these boil spots from each other. When you pull the shrimp out of the bag and de-shell it does the sauce drip right off? If it does, to me that's a sign of bad sauce, it's not getting infused on the seafood, corn, potatoes, etc. This spot it was decent, but better than most. Cheese sticks were good, sweet potato fries were too, healthy portion on that. We'll probably come and eat here again for sure down the line.

I was craving seafood boil and wanted to try this place out seeing as there were so many…read more(questionable) good ratings on google It was not that busy when we came, there were probably only 3 other tables dining in. Service was extremely slow and lacking, I normally don't mind if servers just leave you to do your own thing but good service was practically non-existent here if it's anything beyond taking your order as soon as you sit down and bringing it to you after it's cooled down to nearly room temp. I did not think it was possible to make seafood boil bland but it somehow just was. No flavor at all, not even salty. Absolutely would not recommend

Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. There were quite a few flies, and at times there was an unpleasant odor that resembled strong cheese and animal waste, which took away from the overall dining experience. The food was decent but not particularly memorable. The chicken and waffles looked great, and the fried chicken was very large with a flavorful, crispy batter. However, the chicken itself had an unusual flavor that wasn't my favorite. The waffle seemed as though it had been sitting for a while before being served--it was cold, somewhat squishy, and lacked the fresh texture I was expecting. We also ordered a waffle and bacon for the kids, but the whipped cream that was supposed to accompany it was forgotten. Service was another area that fell short of expectations. Guests are required to walk up and place their own orders, then wait for the food to be brought out. For a restaurant that presents itself as a more upscale dining experience, I was expecting traditional table service. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience, and I'm glad I gave it a try. While there were aspects that didn't meet my expectations, the beautiful outdoor setting made for an enjoyable visit. That said, I probably wouldn't return, but I'm happy I had the opportunity to experience it.

We were staying at great Wolf Lodge nearby, and decided to order some wings to eat in our room…read more Since our party was large, we ordered a party tray of 60 wings. They only offered two flavors so we did half-and-half. You couldn't tell which flavor was which when it came in the box they looked identical, and we even shined our flashlight on it. to be specific, we ordered the buffalo flavor and the lemon pepper. How can lemon pepper have this red looking sauce that looks exactly like the buffalo wings? The only way to tell which was which was to eat them. Since we had kids, we would literally have to lick the wings before we gave them to our kids to make sure they weren't eating the spicy one. Wings size is typical of your Wingstop, but the flavors just weren't there and it was very watery.for the price of their wings and what you get, we probably won't be back.

Not enough sauce was the problem the last two times. Now my last order from today has been the worst wings I ever had from any place. They over cooked the wings so that they were dry like they made them two days ago and left them sitting out. Honey Sriracha is my favorite flavor but not today and for the mango habanero for get it, it just tastes like sweet chili. And to top off these dry wings I get dried out fries that tasted like they had been reheated in the microwave. The boneless wings were even worse. My son said not to ever order from them again cause his boneless wings were bad the last three times we ordered.Sorry to say that these are the worse wings in Lathrop California!!!!
