Tried this location based on the reputation that the ripon location has, I was left waiting for nothing and had to negotiate a refund when I asked 4 times. Was told it would be 20 minutes for a to-go order, sat there waiting for a simple pizza order but got nothing after 40 minutes. restaurant seems committed to only working on to go orders. Extremely frustrating to wait for 40 minutes and to see no one in the building and watching order after order going in the to-go warming bin. I would recommend many other pizza locations that offer better service and room to sit down. read more

The staff were friendly, the seating unfortunately is limited, but the pizza was awesome you get exactly what you pay for delicious pizza. They don't skimp on anything and that's why I am going to return. OMG we ate half the pizza and the box we took home feels like it's like 5 pounds. Genuine cheese, not some mystery cheese you get at a lot of places. Toppings were very generous. The crust was thicker than I personally like but delicious. The sauce was definitely made with love. I recommend this place and will be visiting again. read more

I had tried their oakdale location a few years ago and really enjoyed it so I was very thrilled when I heard they opened a new one on mchenry. I was not disappointed the pizza is pricey but is loaded with ingredients, 10/10 recommend this place! The service was great, really appreciated the attentiveness. This location is fairly small but there are a few tables for you to sit in. read more

I have always loved this family business but have only been to their Ripon location. Today, my first time at their Modesto location, and I am just as pleased, if not more! The young man working the register gave us top tier service, very professional even at his young age. Of course pizza is always the best too! Thank you Gold dust, can't wait to go back! read more

ABSOLUTELY NOT! The dough was raw under the cheese the bottom on the pizza was done FOR SURE but under the cheese it was very raw and stretchy. The pizza itself was greasy and the pepperoni wasn't good at all and had no flavor. The gold dust beer was great. The service was meh or worse then meh they gave me attitude for asking for a fork, the pizza came out quickly but to me that means it's not as fresh as you want it to be. The ambiance was ok but it's old and I understand the theme of gold times but it really just seems like dust and the colors they chose do not mix well. Overall if I could use half a star I would. DONT BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME. read more

Not impressed. Sauce and crust not memorable and pizza with Pepperoni sausage olive and mushroom just tasted like nothing. This pizza was extremely overpriced and a waste of money.I'm gonna throw it away. read more

So excited to have a Gold Dust in Modesto. The pizza was absolutely delicious. Loved the crust, it was the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings, ours were absolutely loaded on! Really enjoyed the spicy ranch as well. Service was great, ordered online and the pizza was ready exactly when it said it would be. We'll be back soon! read more

Predominantly take out. A few tables inside but really not set up as a traditional pizzeria. Pizza is good. Great balance of toppings! Highly recommend read more

The pizza is great. The chicken wings are the anywhere, they are huge, meaty and delicious. Every where else the chicken wings are over cooked and skimpy. Salads are loaded as well. Customer service is always nice and polite read more

in Thank God -- great pizza in Modesto- finally. What makes great food taste even better? Great service. Ask for Benita to help you with ordering. This young lady exudes knowledge of menu, kindness, and hospitality. Great job maam!!! Pizza - well piled high with toppings and a crust that doesn't taste like cardboard. Fresh and yummy. I always order bigger size for leftovers -- great reheated in air fryer or oven. Finally -- ask for Hot Honey as a drizzle -- totally transforms the pizza. Yes -- a recommendation from Benita! Great food and service make the price worth it. If u want cheap - go to L C. This is real homemade goodness. Thank you again BENITA read more

We normally drive from Modesto to Ripon to eat Gold dust pizza, which is known to be one of the greatest around the area. So when we heard they were here, in Modesto just down the street from us. We were super excited only to be disappointed that both times when we ordered the pizza crust was super flimsy as if it wasn't cooked thoroughly. Never had this experience at the one in Ripon. read more

Too much marinara sauce on the pizza & it was overloaded with cheese. Is the owner aware of this excessive use of toppings?

Pizza is amazing. Very delicious! Salad horrible lol people are very nice and it's a neat restaurant.

Marlen provided amazing service! She was super sweet and helpful! good music and good vibes!

Make the drive to RIPON. This place was horrible. Pizza was not cooked all the way. Ordered ahead of time and still had to wait another 30ish mins. Will not be ordering here again. read more

I don't really get the hype about Gold Dust Pizza, so many seem to love it. I think their pizza is just ok, I've had it a handful of times, I've tried almost all locations. The staff and service is great, good ranch and good pizza dough. I also really like their antique theme. But what makes their pizza just ok for me personally is the amount of cheese. It's way tooooo much, their pizza is sloppy and floppy. Nothing special about the sauce either. read more

Classic and absolute Gold Dust experience. The food is remarkable and high quality. The service, beyond extraordinary. Consistently knocks it out of the park. read more

Always great. They go heavy on the toppings, so if you order more than 2 toppings or thick crust, get it well done. They have good ranch too. read more

Probably the best pizza in Modesto now. Been waiting for a closer location. Fire pizza, fire winds. And the customer service is great! Jaden and Sarah were super helpful! read more

This hurts to leave a review like this and here's why. Gold Dust (Oakdale) & the Falcons Lair (Ripon) excellent food and the pizza wow!! I've not had a better pizza in the valley so was obviously excited for a Gold Dust Pizza in Modesto. I've ordered twice from Gold Dust in Modesto and both orders had serious issues; mixed up toppings, undercooked with grease permeating the pizza so much it was soggy and now two pizza's with missing toppings and overcooked/burnt crust. What is going on here?! Had to literally toss a few slices :( The Modesto branch is always crowded and busy..This is a good thing and makes me happy to see BUT..I think you all need to slow down and not compromise your brand and quality for quantity. I know you can make incredible food/pizza's as I've had it before. I hope this message finds you and you take it to heart before it's too late and Modesto loses a great food establishment. I think you just need to slow down and make sure folks are focused on the details for each ticket and the Pizzas coming out of your ovens and walking out your doors are up to the standards of the Gold Dust I know and love! Please, great vibes, great service but the food is suffering and I only want the best for y'all. I know you can turn this around :) Thank you as I know you care, the food I've had at your other establishments tells me you do :) read more

Love this pizza my number one favorite foods is pizza and they are definitely my top five if you know what pizza supposed to taste like like myself then you know this is a great place to go and their ranch is amazing. All I need is for them to start carrying fresh jalapeños to put on my pizza that would be the icing on the pizza because no one has fresh jalapeños at pizza places!!!! read more

Best Pizza on this side of town. Love the customer service and hospitality of this pizzeria. Everything always tastes fresh

I ordered pizza at 2:15 and the online app said it would be done around 2:40. I arrived at 2:45 and was told they couldn't find my order and it would be 20 more minutes. I waited 20 minutes and was then told they still couldn't find order and it would be 30 minutes. When I tried to tell them the situation I was asked "so what's your question?" The unprofessionalism was baffling. I did not end up getting my pizza until 4:20 and it was cold and wrong. They did not say sorry for any inconvenience and seemed irritated with every conversation. I do not recommend this location. read more

Best pizza in town! They load up the toppings, big time! Our last order was a pepperoni pizza and two different kinds of wings, and everything was right phenomenal read more

Gold Dust Pizza Express is EXCELLENT! The option to order online through the app is easy/user friendly and you can customize any order to your liking.

Whether you call in an order or pick up from the restaurant, their customer service is unmatched compared to most restaurants. Give Gold Dust Express a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I have to start by saying way to small Inside The #1 thing that bothered me is there is a young kid working behind the counter not allowing these people to do their jobs very bossy I'm sure it's the owner kid what bothered me about this is when I asked what beer they had to an older person he jumped right in to add his opinion he shouldn't be talking about alcohol. Let these kids that have a permit work without having some Lil boy jumping in and telling them how to work‍ read more

super greasy pizza, couldn't even tear out a full slice. kept falling apart and dripping with grease, I couldn't even eat 2 slices honestly disappointed read more

Food was great and the service was awesome. The staff called me by my name like they were friends. Very helpful and polite service.

They are very picky on custom orders. They dont make cheese pizza by the slice. Salads are so packed the the bottom is always spoiled. They dont take call ahead orders even if you pay over the phone. The staff always has contradicting stories on policy. Like 1 or 2 free ranch with large orders. read more

Amazing pizza and great customer service! Very similar to the ripon location so glad we finally have one in Modesto!
