    Nasty pizza
    Lisa S.

    This is by far one of the nastiest place I have ever seen. Went there cause they were the only pizza place close by. Never going there again. Would rather drive 30 min to grass valley for pizza. 1) the employees looked sweaty & dirty, especially the women. They don't make the women tie up their hair. We found two long piece of hair in one of our pizza. 2) it took them 2 hours to make our pizza. 3) the two pizzas we got was cold, the bread was rubbery, the all meat pizza had hardly any meat in it. The Hawaiian pizza (ham & pineapple), they were so stingy on the ham and pineapple, they might as well call it cheese pizza. Don't waste your time and money on this piece of shit.

    Was staying at a local B&B a block or so away in North San Juan during the 4th of July weekend and stopped by to grab a quick dinner since it was just this place or the local gas station's fried chicken in this sleepy tiny foothill town. With the business recovering from the COVID-19 SIP orders the dining room was cleared out and they were only doing takeout orders. Ordered a "steal your face" (garlic cream sauce, artichoke hearts & chicken) - pizzas only come in one size (16 inches) so they can feed a small family. Pizza was good and enjoyed by all.

    I want to start this review of with my first impression. I walked in and walked out. And I was so wrong for doing that. I judged a book by its cover. I went back a week later and their pizza blew my mind away. Let me tell you, I have been living in Nevada county since 2019. I've tried all the pizza joints. This is hands down the best. And shout out to Ashley for making amazing pizza.

    Bicycle Thief absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered a half Brooklyn and half Phoenix pizza,…read morewhich was the perfect way to try two very different flavor combinations. Both sides were excellent--the crust had just the right balance of crisp and chew, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully put together. The real surprise, though, was the Caprese salad with peaches. It was so unbelievably good that we completely forgot to take a picture before it disappeared. Honestly, it's one of the best salads I've ever had. The peaches added just the right amount of sweetness, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. By the time we finished, I was completely stuffed, but my boyfriend still found room for the homemade Oreo and mint ice cream. I was too full to try it, but judging by how quickly it vanished, I'm guessing it was just as good as everything else we ordered. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels welcoming without trying too hard, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Bicycle Thief is absolutely worth the drive to Grass Valley, and we'll be making it a point to come back.

    Not bad, just nothing special...just priced like it is special. They are creative with their menu…read moreofferings, but the ingredients were bland. One of our two pizzas was well-past overdone, but they were gracious in replacing it. May have been an off-day, but the service was slow and it seemed like we were ignored, waiting 20 minutes (after we were seated) before being acknowledged. Probably won't be back for the pizza, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it an awful experience. The place was cozy and clean, and the seat was comfortable. They have a gluten-free crust option for those who shun gluten.

    What a hidden gem! We were out for a leisurely Saturday drive in the Sierra foothills and wanted…read moresome good food - boy did this place deliver! The wood-fired pizza was one of the best we've ever had - how they get their crust so thin is amazing! We also shared an order of the chicken parm, which was delicious, with enough leftover for a meal the next day. The service was outstanding, and we really appreciated the owner coming out to say hello and ask how we liked our meal. We will definitely come back here again!

    Unfortunately, it was nothing good. No comparison to the previous owners in quality and experience…read more New owners. Gluten Free was an issue and owner complained a bit, saying call ahead for GF pasta. The GF pasta was several clumpy messes in an Alfredo sauce. Gnocchi with Alfredo was horrible. Gnocchi was gummy, not fresh. The Alfredo sauce tasted like Classico from a jar. So, so terrible. Furthermore, ice cubes in your water were not an option. Asked for ice cubes, his son said he could give a little. He brought 1/2 glass...we shared it among the two of us. No ice cubes. Perhaps, my expectations are to high; but, always thought Ice water is a restaurant staple. Dessert refrigerator was empty. No fresh italian dessert. Baklava was in the case. The other issue, if he has no business he closes earlier and doesn't stay around. Wanted pizza one night, drove there from Penn Valley an hour before closing and coincidentally the owner was driving out. He stopped his car, asked what I wanted, I said "Pizza". He said sorry no business closed early. i said oh and went to Pete's Pizza had a nice pizza and drove home. Finally, in my opinion, it's not fresh Italian. It's from a jar, packaged and frozen products put together slabbed on a plate and called Italian. The owner commuted pizza was easier, pull dough from freezer, put sauce, toppings and bake. Italian food needs Italian bread, breadsticks...not pita bread. Unfortunately, very terrible food and experience. Hope many others enjoy the food and experience. Local won't be coming back. God bless the previous owners, good and hard work.
