    Last weekend, I woke up and wanted pizza for lunch. Not just any pizza, no sir. I wanted to try Moonrise Pizza in the tiny Motherlode town of Amador City. Was it worth the drive? Did it live up to the hype? YES! 5 stars! As I stepped into Moonrise, I noticed right away the interior's fun, modern funky, fun decor. Thoroughly modern. They have a counter with stool seating that faces the TV, in addition to tables inside and outside on the front walkway. The tables outside are bistro size. The cashier was engaging. We told her it was our first time here; she was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered and paid with her. The food was brought out to us. But I did not know that they had pinball machines. Apparently they are located in the back room. Missed out on that action. Next time. As a kid, I grew up in playing pinball. That's my jam! We ordered a half Italian chopped salad, pepperoni and sausage pizza and two cans of soda. The salad was fantastic. Fresh, gorgeous ingredients. Bright flavors. Not boring at all. The salad was delicious. The pizza was delicious as well. It is 18 inches by 4 inches. Cut into triangle slices. The crust is sourdough focaccia that reminds me of Detroit style.The crust had a oh so slight crackly exterior with an airy, fluffy interior. Lactose intolerant me took a lactaid pill and face planted into that pizza. Mmm! Luved the pepperoni and sausage. Quality toppings. They also offer craft beers and local wines.

    We were recommended to go here for an early dinner by Wendy at Teneral Cellars. We were so glad we took her advice! The pizzas were made to order and they were delicious. Their pizzas are rectangular and the crust is thick, almost like a deep dish. We were suggested to order 3 pizzas for our group of 8 so that's what we did. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, their special blue cheese and chicken pizza, and their lemongrass beef Thai pizza. I really like the pepperoni and blue cheese pizzas. Both full of flavors and they all worked together to make well seasoned pizzas. The crispy cheesy bottoms made the pizzas even better. The Thai was was unique but fell short in the flavor department. The thai lemongrass beef was good but the rest of the pizza was just plain and bland. So I don't recommend that. Our cute waitress was very nice and patient with our group as we tried to figure out what to order, who's paying, etc. Kudos to her!

    Moonrise's Instagram caught my attention and I felt an overwhelming need to drive the 40 minutes to experience it for myself. I am sure glad I did because this place is legit. We ate outside as we had our dog with us. There are a few tables, but note their outside seating is minimal. We ordered inside, choosing the K.I.S.S. (house salad) and the Eat Your Veggies pizza with added sausage. Both choices were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The pizza though...mmm, it had that crispy edge that is to die for. Staff were friendly and the bathrooms clean. We will most definitely return.

    This is a hidden gem! We were told by an employee to come here and she was spot on!! The best pizza I have ever had and the service was amazing too! Can't wait to come back.

    I was happy with my trip here. I have family with a lot of specialized diets. Vegan, gluten allergy and so on.it can be hard to find a place locally that accomodates it all in a small town. They did great. Small venue so you order with the person at the register/bar. They were very helpful and let us serve our birthday cake after dinner. Kids and sister in law loved the pin ball. Parking was easy. Def a good place to check out. We enjoyed the antique shops and niche store nearby too

    We were up in the Jackson area and heard about this great pizza place so we had to check it out. It's located in the small town of Amador. It's a quaint little pizza place that has a wide variety of pizza and is gluten free friendly. We first got an Italian Chop salad and it was dressed just right and had good mix of veggies, cheese, and salami. The pizza was outstanding. We had the Cali-Ente which was a combo of sweet (pineapples) and spicy (jalapeños and red pepper flakes). It wasn't so spicy to ruin your palette, but enough heat that you could feel it. We also got the Tony Vodkaroni which was excellent as well. The pepperonis were super crispy which made them taste oh so good. They looked a little small coming out, but the crust makes them super filling. They are made on Focaccia bread and were crispy but also filling. The service was fast and friendly. We loved that they had pinball machines which we played while we were waiting for our pizza. Overall this place was outstanding and deserves its reputation.

    Holy shnizaaasss - Moonrise has definitely become one of my FAVORITE spots to eat. The best gluten free pizza I've ever had in my life. But also the little gem salad is probably the best salad I've ever eaten. I really hope they keep that one on the menu! 10/10 service and food ALWAYS! I usually get the gluten free margarita pizza but I got the easy pea-sy lemon squizzy, BOMB! Please add Moonrise to your must go in amador county.

    Pinball!

    Excellent food. Great service. Love the atmosphere. It's one of the blink and you miss it places. Love the pizza. We will be back.

    Came with a group for pizza on a Friday. Greeted by amicable staff, prompt and patient to take our big group order (thank you). Great selection of local beer on draft and cans, a great variety of pizza and sandwiches too. The bread was very soft and fluffy which made for a great taste with the meat and veggie options available. Would recommend any options as we tried several and they were all good. Ambiance was nice, pinball in the back and establishment was clean, fairly big inside to hold several people.

    Driving from Sutter Creek I was in the town of Amador City when I saw the sign for the End of…read moreNowhere. A very boutique winery, they specialize in natural wines - it was the first time I came across a winery that only served natural wines in the area! Founded in 2016, the winery produces only 2,000 cases a year. The wines are produced using locally grown estate grapes as well as grapes from Clarksburg, Acampo and Lodi. Their estate wines are grown in Pioneer at an elevation of 3,300 feet with 13 (!!!) different varietals on only three acres. They tend to be Rhone varietals as well as Barbera which does well in the area. They use neutral oak for barreling. The tasting flight at $10 had six different wines to sample. My favorite was the 2023 Phantom Limb Zinfandel which uses carbonic fermentation. With an alcohol content of 13.8% the certified organic grapes were harvested from the D'Agostini Shenandoah Vineyard using whole bunch fermentation. With concentrated dark red fruit notes, it had flavors of fruit punch with medium tannins. The other wine that stood out was the 2023 Strange Currencies, featuring Nero D'Avola. I am a huge fan of Sicilian varietals and this one did not disappoint. Strange Currencies was slightly more acidic with red fruit aromas and flavors of dark cherries and lots of tannins. This could easily be cellared for a few years. Finally the 2023 Little Faith, Skin Contact White was an orange wine using chenin blanc, pinot gris, chardonnay and orange muscat. It was bottled with residual sugar with a Cap'n'Crunch aroma on the nose and reminiscent of orange soda and lemon rind. It was considered one of their "large production wines" at 450 cases. With such unique names, the actual tasting room lended itself to the eclectic and whimsical wine labels. Lots of wood abounds with colorful original paintings. They are actually quite well known for their burgers, for $14 you can get grass-fed 6.5 oz patties with a variety of toppings. Imma coming back to try the food next. The patio outside is welcoming overlooking a garden area. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

    "The End of Nowhere" what a cool name. It's the name of a local Amador City wine label. Their wine…read moretasting room is right in historic Amador City. I'm personally not a wine drinker, I dropped into their tasting room for the food. They were grilling burgers on the grill on the front patio. The smell of those burgers just hit me hard. I had to try one out. So glad I did, it's one of the best burgers I've eaten. Onto the food... ohhh that burger was outstanding. It's not any ordinary burger. Heck no. The 6.5 oz patty meat blend is a thing of lamb, bison, and Wagyu. I have never had that blend before. I can't stop thinking about it. Plus the chef caramelized the onions, spread a housemade mustard aioli, used quality white American cheese, and an artisan burger bun. Bam... delicious! $14. We also ordered a simple salad $5. Nice serving size. It was gorgeous looking and fresh tasting. The wine tasting room is modern, bright, and comfy. The staff is super welcoming. Wine tasting is $10. The End Of Nowhere wines was founded by Chris Walsh. His philosophy is sustainable farmed grapes, 100% native yeast fermentation, no filtration, minimal sulfur, neutral all aging.... gets you some delicious wine! In 2014, he came back to his childhood stomping grounds after many years working as a sommelier in New York City to plant a 10 acre vineyard in Pioneer, CA. Now the wine label uses those grapes and other local grown organic grapes. The shop also has a front and back patio area which the creek runs alongside. The back patio has a deck and lower plaza. The particular day I visited, there was no event or live performance so it was quite beautiful and serene back there. They do host a ton of events. Large shade trees and the creek running alongside (which right now is running at a low stream) sounding like well... a babbling creek. Check out their website endofnowhere.wine for their calendar of events. And they have a bunch of events lined up. Here a a few .... Art n burgers, wine tasting n chef sampling, oyster fest, and wine and local reknown chef dinners. Quality fine wine and dining taste with a small town welcoming vibe.
