We stopped for lunch at Old Town Tap on the Saturday of a long weekend. We got there right when it opened, so we thought we would be able to get seated quickly. Unfortunately, the last table of four was seated just before us, so we ended up having to wait another 25-30 minutes for a table. They serve and turn tables relatively quickly, so the wait isn't usually too long. The food is really tasty. There are a few specials that seem to rotate periodically....and they do run out of these specials! We unfortunately haven't had a chance to try as much as them as we wanted to. We've enjoyed so many of their dishes - our favorites include the fried Brussels sprouts, fried cheese curds, Margherita pizza and sausage & kale pizza. The servers are all really helpful and friendly, and the hosts/hostesses are always working double time. Not only are they managing the wait list and seating people, they are also clearing tables and delivering food. I like the way they all seem like a team. read more

Good atmosphere, friendly service. Their food is delicious too but they are more on carbs than protein. read more

Poor service. We asked the server if we could order drinks; she told us to wait. Then we had to give the whole order at once and we received the pizzas before the drinks. The server was rude to the children and told them they needed to "calm down". Manager was very unsympathetic when we told her that was not appropriate. I am sure it is normally a nice experience but do not go there for top quality service. read more

This was a fun place right in the heart of downtown Truckee. Staff was super nice and they have a great beer selection. The Brussel Sprouts with their dipping sauce and meatball pizza was excellent. The Mac and cheese was good as was the mushroom pizza, though it was really rich. We might head back there again before our trip is over. read more

I've never left a review for a restaurant before, but I felt I had to for this. We ordered two pizzas, and both were two of the worst pizzas I have ever had. They were flimsy and paper thin with no flavor. They were ordered for takeout and I can understand a slight decrease in quality, but not a decrease this significant. I hope this was just an off day for the restaurant, because the reviews overall seem very good, however, this experience has permanently crossed this restaurant off our list of potential places to eat. read more

Old Town Tap - Flimsy and bland. - Pizza Near Me - Truckee, California

We planned to go out to Old Town Tap with friends that were visiting Tahoe and overall had a great experience--the only downside is they don't take reservations. The front area was really crowded and the hosts seemed less than thrilled to be dealing with all of that. With that said, the food makes up for it and we definitely understand why it's so busy. We really enjoyed the Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts and the pizzas and will definitely be back next time we're in Truckee! read more

When I first walked into the restaurant I was greeted with the smell of truffles, yum!! We obviously ended up ordering the mushroom Mac n cheese which was a delight! It had a lovely taste of truffle to it. We also ordered the Los Olivos pizza! This pizza came with those buttery green olives was something I've never had on a pizza before. It was delicious! We got one pizza to go and it wasn't cooked fully. The crust was very pale and a tag soggy. Highly recommend getting here early to get a table. We arrived on a Friday night around 6:30pm and didn't get sat until about 8:30pm. Pro tip: there's a delicious Mexican restaurant next door that has great margaritas if you're looking to kill time. read more

Delicious food & great service always! Its always a must when passing through Truckee!

3.5 stars, but I rounded up. Quality/Quantity - Soup of the day - Tortilla soup; 4 stars. Good quality, but not enough quantity. Not sure if there was a bowl option? Pizza of the day - Bacon trout pizza; 3 stars. This lacked flavor; I also had to ask for parmesan and red peppers. Also, there were just not enough toppings. See picture. Baked well, but under the crust was way too oily. The good wolf - Dragon slayer IPA. This was a home run, 5 stars. The menu states 14 oz, but I am sure I got a pint; it was filled to the top!! Brewbilt - Sample; 3 stars. Mostly foam, sorry I drank the sample before remembering to take the picture, so you get a picture of an empty glass... German style beer, too light for me today. Atmosphere - Indoor or outdoor seating - Too cold today for outdoor, but indoor was also too hot. I am being extra difficult... Plenty of seating everywhere. Table tops, booths, bar seating, etc. Open kitchen, you can even see the pizza oven. Full bar that is actually fairly extensive. I am looking forward to a cocktail next time. Metered street parking. Open 7 days a week from noon till 9 or 10pm; see Yelp or website. Service - Okay, not good or bad. Price - $37 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016. And more importantly, congrats on your 6 month honeymoon!! Wow. Wishing you the best, next time I will try your cocktails. read more

Chaotic place and Rude server. We waited for a table of 9 for 1.5h, arrived within 10 mins after getting their message, following their instructions, but lost our table. When I tried explaining that I followed their instructions, I was told "don't raise your voice". Then he walked away and mocked us to other waitresses. read more

First visit was fantastic. Second time not so good. Food was good and tasty. Salads are meat dishes were delicious. The service was hit or miss. Maybe we went on a bad day. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious! We got the: -truffle oil mushroom Mac and cheese -potatoe with bacon pizza -Caesar salad -warm olives -burrata -bone marrow Every dish was sublime and the pizza was thin and cheesy delicious. The truffle Mac and cheese was the perfect amount of savory flavor. The Caesar salad had crumbled croutons that were easy to eat and the burrata with pine nuts was super tasty. 10/10 would come back again! The service on top of it all was excellent - nice and quick. This is my favorite restaurant now in the area. read more

This is absolutely the best place to eat in Truckee especially after a ski day. We've eaten here 3 times, and the service and food is always amazing. Shoutout to our server Trish!! She was so attentive and kind and even gave us the best suggestion to add prosciutto to our Pickled Pepper Pie. The menu has zero misses, and we especially liked the pork padron, loaded bake potato, and the sausage and kale pizzas. The ambiance is casual but the wait is never too bad. ALSO GET THE CESAR SALAD W WHITE ANCHOVIES!!! read more

This restaurant is delicious! The food is very fresh and there is a variety of standard and unique options. The service is fantastic and the staff were very attentive. We had a Margherita pizza and a beet salad which were both fantastic. I also had a amaretto sour to drink, which was made perfectly and tasted delicious. They also have some great sharing options like Brussels sprouts with an in revile dipping sauce and a delicious meat and cheese charcuterie board. Also, they brought us a buttermilk herb dressing to dip our pizza in, which I highly recommend getting because it made several members of our party audibly gasp from how good it was. This restaurant has an open concept setup with a very modern and trendy vibe. Definitely a must in downtown Truckee. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty crowded. Lots of people near the bar watching the game and a large company party. The short 15 minute quote the host told us turned into 30 minutes since we were a table for 4. Honestly menu is pretty limited and maybe I just ordered wrong but for the price I was underwhelmed. Overall okay place for small bites but the quality wasn't impressive to me. read more

Service - 5/5 Food & Drinks - 5/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Had a great time at Old Town Tap! Our waitress (unfortunately didn't catch her name) was amazing, going above and beyond to be attentive and service our table. We ordered 2 house salads, brussel sprouts, Margherita pizza and a Ndúja Pizza. Was really impressed by it all. Everything was very good. Salad was perfectly dressed, brussel sprouts came with a delicious dip and the pizzas were SO GOOD. read more

Fantastic food, great beer selection, and relaxing atmosphere. We had the pork and padron pizza, the meatball pie pizza, Caesar salad, and fried Brussels sprouts. The menu is very simple but they cook everything perfectly. The pizzas were fantastic with thin crust. The fried Brussels sprouts were so light and delicious. Food came out really fast. The whole environment was very relaxing and comfortable. I highly recommend this place. read more

Alright... so the description states that this place is equivalent to base camp in south lake and that right there is an insult. Not even close. The beer was good. Waitress was very nice, we ordered the pepperoni pizza for the kids and that was ok definitely not base camp and we ordered the little gems salad The Mac and cheese with everything and the pork and padron pizza and we rate a total of 2/10.... Loud and a lot of people were there and the crowd looked about what I expected it to be unfortunately but we had children so that drowned our noise out. Go next door to el toro or craft. read more

Great Brews! We stopped in for beers and appetizers before going out to dinner! Great time!

Great lunch and dinner spot in Truckee. We started with the Brussel sprouts which had a good flavor. My one criticism is that I felt like we had a lot of Brussel leaves instead of the full sprouts. The aioli on the side is great. Don't sleep on the kale and quinoa salad. It may seem basic, but the shishito vinaigrette is so good! This is a must get. We also got the Pork and Padron pizza which came highly recommended by our server. If I'm being honest, this was not my favorite. Way too salty, it needed a sweet or something to offset all the salt from the pork belly and bacon. I've gotten the meatball pizza in the past which is great, so I'm probably going to go back and get that next time. Sometimes this place can be really busy, it wasn't too bad today at 12pm on a Saturday. There were a ton of families (so a little loud), but it's definitely a good place for all types of groups. Will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in the area read more

We had a great experience here. The staff seemed to all care that we enjoyed our meal and overall were happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. Beer drinkers and wine lovers alike would be happy with their selections. The Caesar salad with bacon was so delicious, a huge portion, easily shared. We will return soon. read more

They do the crust right here. Thin crust crispy pizza. The olive pizza was so good just on the salty end. The bacon pizza also was too salty but still tasted great. Maybe if we were drinking more the saltiness would have been welcomed? I was disappointed with the burrata, it was good but not worth the price point and the flatbread it came with was pretty basic. They have a large selection of cocktails and alcohol. read more

I had to jump in to write a review because my dad declared that this was the best Caesar Salad and the best Hazy IPA he has ever had. The Hazy is a limited time Black Plague. We also really enjoyed the heirloom tomato dish - everything about it was amazing. Others in our group enjoyed the truffle pizza, the pork pizza, and the mac and cheese. It's a great spot with a good vibe. Would highly recommend! read more

Adding to our Tahoe list read more

We had a great lunch here! The food was excellent, the service was very good, and the setting was pleasant. Our family of 3 (2 adults and 1 young child) shared the following: 1) Heirloom tomato/burrata salad - delicious 2) Hummus and pita - flavorful 3) Brussel sprouts - tasty 4) Sausage and kale pizza (without cheese for my husband) - it was amazing (I imagine it's even better with cheese!) I loved my spicy cocktail as well - I can't recall the full name of it, but it had "July" and "Nineteen" in the name. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, which we appreciated. We enjoyed sitting on the high top tables indoors. Overall, this was a great spot for lunch and we'd happily return! read more

First time back in Truckee. Had lunch here with my mom. I got the sour beer and we shared the Mushroom pizza. Beer was very refreshing, cold and just the right amount of tartness. Pizza was yummilicious! The mushrooms was perfectly cooked, lots of cheeeeese! And the crust was thin and crispy. Service was great! Didn't have to wait for a seat and was served with water quickly. Restroom was cleaned and stocked. Neutral gender restrooms. We sat inside but the place had a very open feel so you can still feel the breeze from outside. Next time, will try sitting outside read more

Service was absolutely amazing! I adored the aesthetic but alongside with that the food was amazing! Me and a couple friends came for some light food and drinks and it was the perfect balance because we have some friends coming later so we didn't want to get too full. I would definitely come again especially for the flavor of the pizzas. read more

Very nice spot with a cute outdoor patio! We were able to bring our dog here so that was a huge plus. They have a huge wine and beer list so we got to try a few drinks and all the beers/ciders that we got were really good. We got the Margherita pizza and the red sauce was DELICIOUS. At first I thought it was kind of basic but the aftertaste of that sauce was heavenly. The heirloom tomato and burrata salad was ok- I love burrata so it's hard for me to be disappointed. The issue for me was that it wasn't really a salad, it was just burrata and tomatoes paired with flatbread. To be fair that is what it says on the menu, I just would've expected something from the salads side of the menu to be more of a salad. Overall a very lovely experience and our waiter was beyond sweet with our dog! Would come back again. read more

Amazing place. The food was so delicious we couldn't decide on one or two things so we ordered a bunch. And ate it all. Brussel sprout, burrata, little gem salad and olive pizza with pancetta. Then we had ice cream with fruit compote and fudge sauce. Waddling out of here totally satisfied. The wait staff is so attentive and personable. It is a must stop while in Truckee. read more

Service here is really slow but food is reliably good. We like the Mac and cheese, pizzas, burrata appetizer, meat balls and cheese board. They have an excellent ice tea too! Only bad thing is the long wait times to get food. read more

All I can say is WOW! We were greeted and sat right away. Ordered a their melancholy shot and the server told me I could make it into a drink. It was delicious! The cheese curds were amazing with their herb buttermilk sauce. We couldn't get enough so we ordered the sausage kale Mac and cheese and that was also so good thought it was going to be a little more spicy but that's okay it was still delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking on the strip! read more

Came here for the first time with a group of friends. We arrived around 2 pm. They were short staffed and service was terrible. It took them over 30 min to just pour a beer or bring any drinks. They messed up our order so half our table didn't receive their food till 30 min after everyone else. No compensation was offered. Once we got our food though, the food was flavorful and we all enjoyed what we ordered. For the price though, some of the items were really small portions. So 1 star for service, 3-4 stars for the food. Once they get more staff, this place would be worth returning. read more

Their pizza was soooo good. We got their mushroom pizza, not a lot of topping (with truffle) but I think they were leaving room for the crust to shine. And it's just simply perfect. The fried Brussels sprouts was very crispy and perfectly seasoned but a bit oily. read more
