This little gem used to serve pizza and it was delicious. I'm bummed they no longer serve it. A cute little gas/ general store located in Minden. I'll pop in from time to time and catch up with a few familar faces there. You'll be about to find some necessities here if you don't want to travel to Carson or Gardnerville for. I like that's it's small and will get gas here from time to time so I don't have to stop again. read more

No pizza, deal on gas is gone, all products in store cost more than any were else. Better off just driving to Minden.

One night my friend Robert asked me why I continue to pay high gas prices in Carson. "The fuel costs a lot less on Johnson lane and it's an excuse to hang out at my place, nearby." Lately, the prices have equaled out but it's a nice adventure to travel to. Before or after our visit. That's part of the beauty of open 24 hours. Plus, there's not many options for gas at two a.m. in Carson, should the need arise. Like most petro stations, there's a mini mart available. While I've never been in there, I see a small casino, too. They tell me the pizza was killer, unfortunately it has been discontinued. Take care and be patient coming here for the first time, it has a classic general store look. Thank goodness it looks nothing like a modern gas station. 09/21 read more

Sad they got rid of the pizza and added a beer cave. Not much out this way and now one less read more

No longer sells pizza. Haven't for years. No food service. Please update yelp. No issues with store

Had an amazing customer service experience here with Anthony. He was very authentic and genuine in delivering A+ service. I only went there to get propane filled but left thinking about what an amazing experience he delivered. I'll go out of my way to stop at this place just to have a genuine conversation with this man. Authentic people are hard to find these days. Thanks Anthony read more

No need to say more than get the pizza. You won't regret it! I had been coming here for years then moved away. I came back and decided to get the pizza again. Low and behold the pizza was just as good as I remembered it!! read more

Babe and I love love love The Big Kahuna Their crust is phenomenal, we love whatever dough they use. Cheese, sauce, equality of toppings is spot on we recommend their pizza all the time. 10/10 Thank you Johnson Lane read more

This has to be the best pizza that I ever had in my life I came out all the way from Riverside California spent three months in Minden and enjoyed having one of these personal pizzas just about every day of the week couldn't get enough wish there was one near me now that I'm back in Riverside California... read more

Johnson Lane General Store - Inside of Johnson Lane General Store - Grocery Near Me - Minden, Nevada

They do the best they can here for a small neighborhood store and they make pizza! It's nice to have a place right here in the area and the folks working there have always been friendly. Many a bbq been saved by a run to get the missing hot dog/burger buns! read more

I call this place the shop and Rob. I know there are convenience store but really and they can do it too because when the weather gets bad it's the closest place for the neighborhood, and I think they know it. It's less than a 3 minute drive and you can walk there read more

This review does not reflect on the pizza guys in the back of the store. Those guys are AMAZING!! On the other hand, every single time, it never fails, the women behind the counter, no matter which one it is, has just the nastiest attitude! Rude Rude Rude! I do everything I can to NOT go inside if I dont have to, just because I dont want to deal with them! So sad! On the flip side, if you go early in the morning there is a very friendly gentleman behind the counter! That's when I actually make purchases in the store. They are currently hiring. Hopefully they get some friendly people behind that counter!! read more

It's a really nice place. The gas at the time was .10 cheaper than in Gardnerville. I didn't see any pre-made food, their shelves were a bit empty but they did have a lot of drinks. read more

I am from NYC and every time I come and visit family in Minden, I get pizza from here. IT IS THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD! "The Johnson" is a pie that puts all others to shame. No joke. A must have. Sorry NYC but west coast style pizza rules!!! read more

My wife called for pizza on Monday Aril 20, about 4pm. The gentleman that answered the phone was so rude that she ended up hanging up. My wife is so easy going. She has him on speaker phone and I recognized the voice as being the same gentleman I dealt with to pick up pizza a week earlier. On that evening, I arrived to pickup a pizza. Paid and took the sales tag to him. I noticed him wearing gloves and playing on his phone while sitting at the counter. He got up and started to cut and handle pizzas without changing his gloves. Someone needs to have a talk about his rudeness and cleanliness while handling food. Virus or not. read more

The pizza is SOOOOOO good! The only thing I would change is the hours, cause for some reason I am always craving this pizza in the middle of the night (but that's on me!) The pepperoni is always so flavorful and the salads are always fresh. I'm a ranch dipping kind of person and I highly recommend getting a side of ranch to enjoy with your pizza! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

We have lived in the area for awhile, but lately have noticed the customer service has went down. There used to be real friendly clerks, but now they do not even say hello, don't ask if we would like a receipt, and don't even ask us for a bag. We end up grabbing a bag and bagging our in stuff. So sad the store has lost its friendly welcoming atmosphere. read more

Love the pizza!! Great lunch special! I think they should advertise their pizza more. read more

See all

Great place to buy pizza!! It has a great taste and you get a big pizza!! The store has a little bit of everything. Even a little casino!! The people that work there are very friendly. Oh yeah, they also have a gas station. read more

Very convenient store for beer, soft drinks and other small items, rather than driving 10+ miles into town. Great pizza! Very friendly service. read more

I live around this area and being in between Gardnerville and Carson City. I love having this store here. It has everything you could need and more. read more

Better off with Domino's in Minden Nv! This place is DIRTY and very rude staff. Not just the pizza joint but the General store as well! Don't waste your money or time with this so called pizza place read more

It was late on the way home from a ride well after dark, and I needed a snack, some milk, bacon and eggs and gas, etc. What a pleasure to have a friendly, clean well stocked store with good gas prices open late! Saved me a a lot of driving and time. read more

Great place for pizza and some of the best chicken wings I've had. Plus its a short drive from home.

Horrible experience nightshift guy treats you bad. Never going back for that additude

Nothing exemplary, just a good sized, super clean general store that also sells gas. The 2 ladies behind the counter we're friggin awe-sum, SUPER friendly, and the one woman even went out of her way to open a map for me to assist in my search for E85 Ethanol fuel for my flex-fuel truck that has been a pain in my upper vasilar Hood to find since Golden gate discontinued it. I may slide thru every now and then just to buy something to wet me whiste when I'm in the area. read more

Awful Use to be such a great place for pizza I won't go there again. My husband waited an extra 15 minutes There beyond the time of pickup Would have been worth it - if pizza was Good We didn't get what we ordered - should have opened it to check It wasn't even done - dough not cooked enough Pizza tasted terrible I called back and some young girl answered She didn't care - all she said was that she could relay the message A business going down - somewhere else other than this place read more

I want to start with the pizza is great but that don't make up for crappy employees they always have a terrible attitude and every time I call to order it's like there mad about it and almost try to talk you out of your order it's always the same thing even if I call right when they open they say it's going to be an hour plus are you sure you want to order while if I wasn't sure I would not of called it's sad because the owner could make so much more if he had good employees so if you want a shitty attitude and wondering if they messed with your food then head on down I gave them 2 stars because the pizza is good read more

JLGS rocks. They are so convinient. Gas is always cheaper than in town, and when the nearest store for anything at all is 8 miles in either direction, they provide emergency necessities like eggs, milk, butter, ice cream, beer... lol And the pizza that is sometimes cooking in there is pretty good too. Though a little pricey for pizza. read more

The employees are super rude. I've stood at the counter waiting to check out multiple times for 5-10 minutes at a time. Not friendly at all.

Store has all those emergency items. Pizza is king. Glad to have it around.

Great service and the best pizza for miles around. Try the Johnson pizza. Great wine and beer selection at reasonable prices...

One of my favorite late night activities. Snacks and drinks from jlane general.

I went in to the Johnson lane store to order a pizza. I put a bandana over my mouth, didn't cover my nose, upon entering a very disgruntled, unhappy woman behind the counter yelled (spoke loudly enough so everyone in the store could hear) at me that my mask (bandana) didn't not cover my entire face, to which I relied it did. I ordered, which upon reflection I should not have and not given the store my business, more on that later. As I walked to the register line, the clearly unhappy, discouraged with life woman continued to, speak loudly at me that I had to cover my face. I refrained from engaging and finally she exhaled forcefully and said she would take my payment at her register to "get me out of there". I paid, and as I was walking out she said, "and don't come back in here until it's done". Once again another example of the "Herd" following lockstep with the Talking heads. Annnnnnnd, never giving the Johnson Lane General Store my business again. Cheers read more

I love our General Store, I have been going there since 1987. I have never ever had a problem with any of the employees. I couldn't live in JL without it. read more

The pizza is good but the business practices are terrible. This place refused to take my order at 6 PM because they were busy and closed at 7 PM. I have spent years working in the food industry and have never seen a customer turned away an HOUR before closing. I won't be going back. There is a right way and a wrong way to run a business and these people can't seem to figure it out. read more

Seriously, I just wanted wings...what I ended up with was an insane and inappropriate amount of attitude, and from the "manager" no less.. Don't let the pizza place hours of operation fool you, at any point during the very few hours the pizza portion of this place is open, they are likely to randomly close only to force feed you tons of inedible attitude.. Now, my problem is absolutely NOT with the food, in fact, the wings here are probably the BEST I've ever had, unfortunately due to the garbage attitude of the manager named Sharon, I won't ever go back.. Here goes my story... Today, the fifth day of January, 2015 I had one of the absolute worst management experiences of my life...seriously.. I went into this place to get wings, (like I said, best ever) only to be told that the pizza place wouldn't be open until 3:00. I was a little confused because the sign said open and the hours said 11:00 to 6:45. I recently moved back to Tahoe and couldn't wait, so I left. After I did, I called to find out why the pizza place was closed until 3:00 despite obvious information stating that is was, indeed, open.. That is when a whole crap-ton of fun began.. Sharon, the manager, gets on the line.. I asked why the pizza place was closed during business hours, for which she told me was because the lady was on a lunch break. Ok.. So then I asked why they didn't have anybody to cover these breaks..this lady would not answer this very simple question. She did, however, tell me that they had only one person working the cash register, and only one person working the pizza..and then she was there, but "she's only the manager, and that's not her job".. Ok..so, I'm not exactly a management expert, however I do have a degree in business management with concentrations in small business ownership (seriously, I'm not even lying, ironic, huh?) I'm probably not exactly the least knowledgable person in this area of expertise, but I do know this: as a manager for any small business, it is the managers responsibility (on top of general management responsibility) to A. Step in and take over when an employee is incapable, and B. Cover any shift/breaks for an employee in the event that these shifts/breaks need to be covered and the establishment does not employ enough individuals to provide extra staff.. Ok, so NOT AN EXPERT, but I know a little.. So then I asked her what exactly it was that she was employed to do, because she was a shi**y manager.. She replied by telling me that I was terrible at "customer relations" as if it's my job to make me happy while at this store....and also that she had a lot of paperwork and bookwork that needed to be done and that the conversation had gone on for too long for her. So I said something along the lines of "so basically, you get paid to sit in your ass?" I'm going to go ahead and say this this may have caught her off guard because she asked me if I really used such language in front of my daughter? Huh?? I said "ass"...there are easily fifteen different words that are far more inappropriate than the word ass, and these are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.. Anyway, she then told me that I needed to work on my parenting skills, and that I was a terrible parent.. Fine, she's mad.. I would be too if I just got schooled my somebody 30 years my junior. But then she says to me that she has 28 years of teaching experience so therefore she knows far more than I ever will.. Alright, you got me there.. I don't have teaching experience, but as stated before..um....management degree, and this is the majority of the issue..now, your 28 years of teaching may put me in my place if I had called to complain about my children's school...NOT very useful..just sayin...so after telling me that she knows more than me, and that I'm an awful parent for saying ass, I asked her when the owner would be around..she replied by laughing at me and telling me that there wasn't an owner. So I said "so you're telling me that nobody owns this place?" She said "you tell me, since you already told me that you're smarter than me, what do you think?" I replied with "woah!! I'm pretty sure that you said that." She laughed some more...ok.. Is there an owner and when can I speak with him/her? She said "I'm not allowed to give owner information." Again, NOT what I'm asking.. Slowly this time; WHEN. WILL. THE. OWNER. BE. AVAILABLE? This lady just keep laughing... I'm not looking for their personal information, but I'm going to continuously call until one is available.. She said "go ahead, the owner is NEVER here". And then she hangs up on me.. This woman named Sharon is quite possibly the biggest vapid C U Next Tuesday I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with.. I may only be just one to complain, but I'm positive that I'm not the only person who's had this same type of encounter with SHARON....and yeah c u next tuesday is an acronym, and yeah, I typed this in front of my kids.....BOOM!! read more

Went in for some butter, and hot dogs for the grand kids, drove to town becouse there prices were way out of line cheeper to drive the 8 miles to town. $16 a pound for bacon, $7.49 for a pack of hot dogs, at a $1.29 in town. And $7.69 a pound for butter, when I get threw there price gouging I can get a half a tank of fuel in town, I will us the Johnson Lane gold mine only fo emergencies. read more

Pricey, yes... but, definitely CONVENIENT if you don't want to drive to town! Pizza is good!

It's one gas station in the neighborhood with a nice country feel to it with friendly employees. Always open. There are plenty of gas stations around here, no reason to slam Minden. read more
