    Had the wings first and was pleasantly surprised because it was so good!! All the pizzas are awesome as well!! Salad on the side counteract the grease but the pizza isn't overly greasy at all!! Will be coming back again and thank you to Franda for the gummy pizzas for daughters!!

    I am in Gardnerville from time to time for work and I have been just down the street from this local pizza spot and was finally able to try a calzone and some sweet treats before heading back. I love their vibe here and you either love small towns or hate them. I fell in love with Gardnerville and Minden years ago. I stopped in for dinner on a Friday night and so glad I did. The staff here went above and beyond to get me in and out before my lunch break was over. I would say roughly about 20 minutes from ordering to having my first bite. I will be back next time I'm here or nearby. Everything was fresh and everyone was so friendly and inviting. I struck up a conversation with a few locals while waiting. I cannot wait to come back!

    High quality and very delicious. I ordered Big Nik large size pizza 14" for four adults and it was enough.

    Very expensive for take and make. The crust was a 2- kinda like frozen, the the sauce was nice and zippy. Really did not like the crust.

    On our way home from a long, arduous day in the mountains, me and my family were HUNGRY, so we…read morestopped at the first place we saw that was open, and hoped for the best. WE. WERE. BLOWN. AWAY. So I have this little belief that has so far been proven right... If a brewery has food, it's good food. And honestly, I can say that this keeps that belief up. My burger and fries were SPECTACULAR, and any chance to eat beer cheese is a good time for me. Also, my mom with her gluten allergy, said that throughout her years of terrible gluten free alternatives, this one was the most amazing, tasty, and was hard to believe it wasn't full of gluten, but somehow it was, and it was awesome! We sat outside, and they have a nice seating area, a lot of games in a grassy area and a few others scattered around, as well as a fire pit to give it a chill atmosphere Staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and honestly made a really good impression on us before we even started talking. All that to say... To management, you WILL be seeing us again, I don't care how, we will be coming back.

The only downside is that if you're sitting outside, it can be hard to hear when your order is ready. If you order through the QR code, though, you can enter your phone number and receive a text notification, which is really helpful. We did have one small issue once where I received a text saying our food was ready, but it wasn't. I think the tickets may have gotten mixed up and someone grabbed the wrong order. The staff fixed it quickly, though, so it wasn't a big deal. The soft serve is a great deal, and they rotate flavors regularly. The lemon flavor was our favorite. We've tried several of the sandwiches and burgers, and everything has been consistently good. They also offer a nice variety of wing flavors, and the wings are always one of our go-to orders. Overall, it's a cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio is dog-friendly. I've heard people mention that it's expensive, but honestly, the prices seem pretty standard compared to most other restaurants in town. Nothing felt overpriced to us.

    REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! On January 21st at about…read more12:15 I took the grandkids to Pizza Factory in Minden for the buffet lunch. It was such a disappointment! When we got there the restaurant was almost empty. The only staff were two unfriendly women, one blond and one older brunette. The blond who took my order never greeted me, never looked at me and said as few words as possible. I suspect she hates customers and her job. After we got plates we saw the buffet had only two half pizzas, one pineapple and the other had different meats and olives. I asked if they could make a cheese or pepperoni pizza because that's all my kids will eat.They begrudgingly agreed to make one. After waiting a while two men came in, paid for the buffet and just as they handed them their plates they put out the pepperone pizza which was right behind them. We got in line behind the men. Sadly, what was left was one slice of pepperoni pizza each for the kids. And they liked the pizza. I went to the counter and asked if they could make another cheese or pepperoni pizza. The workers, who talked to me from across the room, said no. They said the old halves of pizzas, pineapple or the one with olives had to be eaten first. I explained the kids won't eat that and those pizzas were now very old. They explained they wouldn't be making cheese or pepperoni and that there were other kinds of pizzas they would be making first. There is an order to the variety of pizzas they make for the buffet. By now we are the only people in the restaurant and I am trying to reason with these employees who are being so cold and indifferent. They told me even if the old half pizzas were eaten the next pizzas they would make wouldn't be what I'm asking for either. If the goal is to run off customers I think it's working. Almost no customers and on a day there's no school and unwilling to make a pizza for the customers they do have. Weird. Nothing left to do but leave and write this review to warn others.

    The pizza was just average. Nothing special. While we were eating our pizza we noticed a woman…read morestanding in front of the salad bar She was eating out of the salad bar, not from a plate.

    Stonefly Restaurant in Markleeville is the best dining in the Carson Valley area period stop. It's…read morea true gem that feels like it could (and should) have a Michelin star. We've been coming here for years and even have known some of the staff since high school....! What makes Stonefly so special is that whether you're a longtime local or a first-time visitor, the Saletti family and their incredible team treat you like family from the moment you arrive. The service is always warm, attentive, and genuinely joyful. These are some of the sweetest, most talented people you'll ever meet in a restaurant. We came to celebrate the second night of my wife's birthday weekend (LOL) and, as usual, started with a beautiful progression of appetizers. The macadamia nut and Parmesan crusted calamari, sautéed and finished with that bright, silky lemon beurre blanc, is our favorite...! Perfectly crisp, tender, and so flavorful that we ordered a second round...! We also loved the fresh steamed clams and the expertly seared ahi tuna, artfully presented with pickled onions and crisp ginger and a large lump of wasabi and an amazing dipping sauce. Every dish showcases fresh ingredients and masterful wood-fired technique with that perfect Northern Nevada-Italian fusion. With such outstanding starters, we happily skipped a main to save room for dessert and what a decision that was....! As we finished our second calamari, the entire team: owner Faith Saletti and her wonderful staff gathered around our table to sing a lively, heartfelt "Happy Birthday" to my wife. It was one of those rare, magical moments that feels completely genuine and unforgettable. Her chocolate cake was a rich, decadent masterpiece: moist, intensely flavorful, and elegantly plated with whipped cream and a delicate edible flower. My coconut cake was ethereally light and fluffy, with tender layers, toasted coconut, and cloud-like whipped cream, finished with a beautiful floral garnish. Both desserts, made with obvious love by Faith, were absolutely divine. Stonefly isn't just a restaurant, it's a warm, soulful experience in the heart of the Sierra Nevada. The food is outstanding, the hospitality is world-class, and the setting on the charming patio is relaxed and inviting. As locals who have enjoyed many meals here, we can confidently say it's worth every visit. Whether you live nearby or are just passing through the Lake Tahoe area, don't miss it. We'll keep coming back for special occasions and ordinary ones alike. Five enthusiastic stars and our highest recommendation. Thank you, Stonefly, for another wonderful evening!

    Gayle recently took me out to dinner here on a pleasant Friday evening. My 70th (!) birthday was…read morethe next Monday and Stonefly is where we both wanted to go to Dinner. This place has been on our list for at least a couple years, and we finally worked up the incentive to take the scenic drive to Markleeville. As we decided just a few days before, our reservation choices were 4:30 at a Table or 6 PM at the bar. We reserved the 4:30 spot and were seated at a nice table as one of the first parties inside the door. In the hour and a half (ish) that were here, the place filled up nicely, even witnessing a family of 3 being turned away for lack of a reservation. We both enjoyed the happy energy, the engaging staff and patrons, and our view into the kitchen. Our experience was fabulous, with the only "opportunity for improvement" being that Gayle's rack of lamb was just slightly overcooked (for her taste). We also left thinking that it would be great to come back in the summer when the patio was open. I would describe the indoor space of Stonefly being cozy, warm, and welcoming, with service that matched. I chose the 5 ounce filet (with Gorgonzola), mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. We both enjoyed our choices, plus the prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears as an appetizer, a couple nice glasses of wine, and of course the carrot cake with a candle and song at the end. In fact, we took the cake home for later as we were really full after a meal like that. I'm sure we'll be back and with friends and/or family. Stonefly's limited hours and restaurant space will require a little extra well worth it planning. And short of maybe the Caples Lake Resort, there's really nothing in the immediate area that compares.
