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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

We got two large pizzas today. One the Yuppie and chicken was awful very saggy. I called and they said is the way is supposed to be. So for me is that better to order smaller ones. More delicious the big one was bad. Sorry read more

Always the best! Sauce is a bit on the sweeter side and they do put a lot (I recommend asking for lighter sauce) hella cheesy pizza! Fluffy crust! 10/10 my favorite pizza place read more

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!

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

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

Love the pizza, ambience and courteous staff! I finally found my new pizza spot in Manteca!

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

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

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

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.

Had pizza delivered..Delivery person was friendly, it was hella good. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.is I asked wings to be well done and they weren't, but they were ok wings. I'll order again. Bill read more

Good pizza. I accidentally made Wild Bill angry. Who's Wild Bill ? He is the A.I. computer that answers the phone. I actually made the AI voice angry but the Human staff was very friendly and real and the pizza was great. We will be back again soon. Dan Kaiser, Manteca read more

Good pizza baked to perfection. The wings are my favorite because the sauce is packed with flavor and they never skimp on the sauce! The customer service is great, employees are nice and friendly with attentive mannerism. Happy to have a pizza staple in town! read more

So happy there's finally a gold Dust in Manteca! The best pizza ever! Same great service we are used to in Ripon! It's Smaller & has a few tables to sit at! read more

The pizza is amazing the service is good but the restaurant is small I would definitely recommend this restaurant

This pizza was everything I was hoping for and more. The crust was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside with just the right amount of chew on the inside. The sauce was flavorful without being overpowering, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The cheese was melted to perfection and evenly spread, with generous toppings in every bite. What really stood out was how balanced the flavors were. Nothing felt greasy or heavy, and each slice held together beautifully. It's the kind of pizza you keep thinking about after the meal is over. I would absolutely order this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality, great‑tasting pizza. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. They honored a gift card for a new pizza. Thank you. read more

The pizza toppings were enormous and the taste was amazing! First time we have ordered pizza and wings from this place and it did not disappoint! read more

The pizza and wings are so delicious! The order pickup time is always early or on point. The service is good, greeted with a smile.

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

I went in and ordered a giant pizza over the phone, paid, and asked for ranch. They told me I'd get three since it was a large pizza, and when I offered to pay for more, they said they'd throw in an extra one -- which I thought was really nice, so I left a $5 tip. This was my first time visiting, and it seemed like the staff was in a bit of a frenzy since they were closing soon. When my pizza came out, I asked for the ranch and a bag for Parmesan and pepper. Everyone looked a little confused. As they went to the back, I noticed a bottle of Pepsi on the floor near the ovens and a generally dirty kitchen area. I've worked in restaurants before, and I know things get messy, but given how many people were working, I expected it to be cleaner. When my pizza was placed on the counter, someone started spraying cleaner instead of using a towel with bleach -- fumes going everywhere -- not the best timing. To my disappointment, I ended up with only two sides of ranch and a pizza that was mostly bread. I ordered half Como and half White Sauce Chicken, and I couldn't help but laugh when I counted only six small pieces of chicken -- definitely not fresh, probably pre-cooked Costco (disgusting!). The flavor was bland, and the whole experience was underwhelming. Honestly, I don't get what all the fuss is about. It was my first and last time here. P.S. We had the pizza around 9 PM, and it made us feel sick starting at 4 AM -- I couldn't sleep and felt awful (stomach and acid reflex) Not cool!!! Never ever again!!! read more

We went there on Wednesday evening (11/19) and just wanted to say that the pizza quality was a LOT better compared to when we first came to this location a month ago. Allison and Ryan were amazing and super friendly employees. When you go inside, it's got a nice dim lit area where you can hang out and eat. The cool thing was that Allison recognized us from the Ripon location due to us being biweekly regulars. My family and I will definitely come back! read more

This is an offshoot of the Gold Dust Pizza in Ripon. Formerly Pizza Plus. Best pizza ever. Although we have found Jack's Pizza's Hot Hawaiian is to die for!! Great pizza, good service, we will definitely order again. read more

Pizzas are GREAT! Thin crust, and generous toppings! It's so great having this location in Manteca now. The location in Ripon is also great!

The establishment is very small- 30 or so seats. Mostly young kids working- very polite and hard working, smiling and seeming to enjoy their job. Cleaning down areas as soon as customers left. Tables clean and overall a nice and welcoming spot. The food did not take long to arrive. The bbq wings were not cold when they arrived but almost all of the wings were dry. The sauce itself had a great ratio of sweet and tangy- it's was excellent! Overall I've had worse. The pizza crust was really good- a nice crunch to it! However , the rest of the dough although on the thicker side, it was getting soggy due to all the toppings on it. Had the pizza been cooked longer- that problem would have been avoided. The toppings felt thrown together. One slice had a HUGE piece of white onion. Had I taken a bite it would have ruined my entire experience . It would have been like biting into a raw onion. I appreciate a pizza that is well topped but it was overkill for the foundation of the dough. But the marinara - wow! Great flavor!!! The ranch dressing I ate w the pizza was great and tasted fresh. It's worth a try to come here, maybe you will get a pizza a bit more cooked due to the nice flavor of the sauces. read more
