This is a must try when in Cloverdale. Their salads and calzones are fresh and delicious and the owners couldn't be nicer. I honestly think it's the only reason my fiancé doesn't mind heading up to a Cloverdale for wedding stuff. I totally bribe him with Papa's and we will be going there for our rehearsal dinner. read more

Seriously some of the best pizza I have ever had! Every time I go I order a new pizza to try. It's so good! Recently tried the ribs- WOW

Super cute pizza place! We stopped by while driving back to SF from wine country. Papa's had great thin crust pizza (think "Americana" thin crust, not "arugula / burrata" thin crust), some nice light lagers, a solid classic rock playlist, and the Lakers game. read more

Best Pizza Ever! Been from California to Florida and back again and this place still has the best pizza I've ever had. All pizzas are great but papas special is the show stopper read more

I must have hit them on an off day because I've had frozen pizza that tasted better. The crust was mushy, and the toppings were off-putting. I'll try it again if someone brings it, but I won't spend my own $ on it. read more

They have good beers and pizza is awesome!!! Love to stop by when Cloverdale has its street festival!!

Good sauce, pizza, good crust. Salad are typical at a pizza joint One day Hopefully soon- Typical pizza joints may make artisan-salads read more

Best pizza north of Geyserville! This is the classic local pizza restaurant that caters to locals and the sports teams. Great service and fantastic pizza and beer selections. read more

Back with update #2! My family was amongst the many that lost power and heat/water for almost 9 days. We went by papas for their free lunch (I wanna say it was Monday). Even though everything was far from fine and far from normal, getting a warm hot meal (BOMB.COM!), from a smiling face, and chairs and tables to sit at, brought a sense of normalcy to my kids and I. We had been eating peanut butter bread sandwiches and beans warmed on a bbq for almost the entire duration of the shut off chaos. I literally stuffed my face and went outside and cried because I was so happy to be able to eat something hot, bursting with flavor, something I didn't have to ask someone for. It literally is a meal. But until you have 3 young children with no power, water, or heat for almost 9 days, a meal can mean so much. I cannot thank you guys enough for what you did for us, my family, the community. We are forever grateful. Back with an update! Still give them 5 stars! Ordered online last night. Simple, quick and got a confirmation that said it would be 25 minutes for pick up. And 25 minutes on the dot, my hungry family rolled in and we were immediately helped by a smiling young lady. Got our pizza right away and we were practically running home to eat. It was exactly as ordered and delicious as usual! The continuous quality and great customer service will always have us coming back. Thanks again papas pizz read more

I decided to give Papa's another chance as I have been completely unimpressed for the past five years. The photos say it all, never again. read more

Good pizza in Cloverdale, CA? Hell yes!!! Living in NYC for many years I've come to know good pizza from the nonsense some try to push as good pizza. Papa's pizza is an excellent California pizza. Yes, you can order a pie with pineapple (which could get you punched in the mouth in NYC), but ignoring that single act of blasphemy...it's a great pie. Nice people too! read more

This place has permanently F'd me up. I literally cannot enjoy a slice of pizza any where else on earth (including Italy) after having eaten here. The pizza is absolutely life changing. Any review on here less than 5 stars must have come from sociopathic liar. Just take one bite and you'll agree with me. Best ever. Period. read more

Never have single slices available at lunchtime. Not a lunch spot for sure. Service is pretty unfriendly as well.

Every month Papa makes a new pizza and they are weird as shit. We still ordered pizza from him like 3 times a week. In June we got "Zues' Favorite" which looked like greek diarrhea and tasted even worse. I called to see if we could just get a normal pizza but the girl who answered acted like I was trying to rob her over the phone. She advised me to order a smaller size when trying a POTM like I haven't had 50 fucking pizzas from this rathole in the past. We ended up getting comped for an XL regular pizza and it was ok, like a 3 star pizza. Overall I hope an asteroid smashes through the roof and this place never reopens. read more

I went back and tried the thin crust pizza, and it was great. It's a nice downtown location, and the service is good.

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here since I was just a little girl. That's over 20 years now! Sheeesh I'm old!!! Lol. Anywho, the pizza is so friggin good I can't get enough of it. It's all in the dough!! The dough is so delicious and has a nice crisp crunch on the bottom when you take each bite. The toppings always taste so fresh and amazing. My favorite is a large mushroom pizza!!! They have a big screen TV and let you change the channel as you please. Pitcher of beer is decently priced. I've only ever tried the pizza here. I'm not sure how the other menu items are. I hop this place never closes down. I would be so upset. Can't wait for another taste papas!!! See you soon read more

We would drive 1,000 miles for this pizza. Love the kids that work here, their always cheerful and act happy to be at work. Wish I had a job like that! lol The pizza is ALWAYS consistently SUPERB!!! Anyone who has left a negative remark for this pizza establishment has to just be snooty snoots that hopefully are just passing through on their way home ELSEWHERE! read more

I cannot find the words at how impressed I am. I made a fuss when I got my pizza because it wasn't thick crust when I had asked for it. Before I even had the chance to break out my New Yorker attitude about pizza, they offered to make me another one for free. I went back to get drinks, and they made them on the house. When I ate their pizza (the Aloha) - the thin and the thick - I found both to be top notch; and that is not a phrase easily made by pizza in my New York standards. The quality of the ingredients was immediately recognizable. It was fantastic. Fantastic service, excellent food, good drinks, and an awesome, classic, clean atmosphere - I'm going to go out of my way the next time I make the drive down to San Francisco to give them more patronage, and I encourage anyone else in the area to do the same. They bring an integrity we need more of in the world. In quality of their food, and in the standards they hold themselves to. Two thumbs up, and an extra tip of the hat to "Alicia" for stopping the storm before it started and going out of her way to make the pizza I wanted, as well as the staff on deck at 7:30 pm on 3/20/16 for being so attentive and on their game. Whoever runs this place should be proud of the staff they've got - it's what makes this place the excellence that it is. read more

My family was in the area after visiting Ukiah for the long weekend (back in January). We stopped by for dinner after reading great reviews on Yelp and we're so glad we did! It is nicely located in a small city along the US-101 Highway. We ordered the Mediterranean Salad, Garlic Cheese Bread, Buffalo Wings, and Russian River Pizza. There was more than enough for the 4 of us! The food was delicious and the place was clean with great ambience. Would love to come back if we're in the area again! read more

I should finally do a review since my family has ordered Papa's almost once a week for almost a year and a half. :) They are great! Pizza is super delicious, their delivery guys are pretty entertaining and the service is great. I haven't eaten in the restaurant in a long time - but from what I remember it was super yummy. Anyone who lives in Cloverdale probably knows they're the best in town - if not - hopefully they get the good fortune to experience it. :) read more

Fun atmosphere great pizza. Decent beer selections. His is an order and sit kind of place with limited service at tables. It can get crowded at game time and happy hours. They have gluten free options too. read more

Great Pizza!!!! Been coming here since it opened. If you get it to go or delivered go with mediums. The quality is better by the time it gets home. Could be a bit cheaper but it's worth it Real ranch dressing also!!!! read more

Papa's Pizza Cafe - Pizza Near Me - Cloverdale, California

This is a locally owned and operated restaurant. The pizzas are exceptional and very large in size. We ordered a "large" initially and ate it for three meals! We now know to order a medium. The mediterranean is our favorite with lots of vegetable, feta and artichokes, and, you may request extra toppings for any of their pizzas. Forget the chain pizza spots and go to Papa's in Cloverdale. read more

Pizza was average, loved the salad! If you are looking for super thin New York style, will be disappointed.

My first time here with some of my girlfriends...we ordered a variety of food from the menu. No complaints and what a great atmosphere! I look forward to coming back... read more

When you walk into this restaurant it smells like heaven.... and their food is amazing! Had the Sonoma Salad. Decent sized with honey mustard dressing. LOVED IT! Hubby ordered a small pizza (sausage, pep, and jalapeno), which is large enough for two. So delicious! Best part was their beer. Hubby had a glass of Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout and said it was the BEST beer he's ever had. I don't even like beer and I LOVED it. Will definitely be back again! read more

Walked by couple times always packed. Tonight ordered a pizza and a salad for me and the wife. Pizza was pepperoni, jalapeños, pineapple, and ? Think was called the Bear? Outstanding pizza. Will be back. Oh, and great on tap beer selection. Had the Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout. Maybe the best beer ever! Will be back!! read more

Best pizza in town a must go to every time wanting to have pizza! Whole family loves it, usually have it 2 times a month if not more. Best !

I would give this pizza joint 2.5 stars, so thought I would round up. My girlfriend and I were pretty disappointed in the pizza to be honest. I live in Cloverdale and will be ordering from Round Table next time. I love supporting local venues but was quiet disappointed in the pizza. Crust was very hard and nothing special. It just reminded me of a random tasting pizza. We ordered a combo with veggies and there was no consistency in the ingredients. There were just clumped on in locations instead of evenly spread out. The spread is very important with multiple ingredients. I was excited about ordering hear when I saw it received 4 out of 5 stars but both my guests and I was disappointed. UPDATE: The owner Mike reached out to me and let me know he would give me a discount if I was to give them a second chance. read more

Best Pizza Every Amazing Crust and they offer Gluten Free Pizza That is Amazing as well! Their New Location has Every Box Checked Customer Service, Atmosphere,Great Menu,Family Owned,Wine & Beer and Great Price! It is worth the drive You won't be disappointed! read more

I come in over 5 times a month! They have an app for your iPhone that is a punch card you get a free large one topping pizza or during lunch time you will get a free slice after you buy five. Mike has been the owner since 1988. We have in the area since 1986, so we have come to Papa's since Mike has opened! I like the antipasto salad.......(a small is more than big enough) with two pieces of heated chicken and ranch sauce. I also like the mama's sandwich. I also like the Russian River pizza. The garlic cheese bread is very very good.......and if you like to have XXXX-tra garlic......then ask Angel to make it for you! Tell them "the way the fat guy Charles likes it" and she will fix you right up! Thanks Mike and crew for putting up with me and my demands for garlic! read more

Pizza was amazing!! Came out here for vacation and I had a taste for pizza and found this place here on Yelp. So happy I did and enjoyed every bit of my pepperoni pizza! read more

Extra large pepperoni pizza and antipasto salad were delicious!! Easy laid back atmosphere- comfortable seating. Friendly staff and good service. They have a bar and carry a good selection of draft beers. Racer 5 is one of my favorites. read more

Terrible quality food that might as well have come out of a microwave from some lower name brand.

Papa's Pizza is absolutely the best pizza! Family owned and operated. Great atmosphere and great staff! All the years we've been going there we've never been disappointed, not even once! We would highly recommend checking out PaPa's pizza!!! read more

I lived in Cloverdale for a whole year and this basically the only pizza place and they never disappoint. The garlic bread and wings are really good. Pizzas here are amazing! Try bacon and pineapple! Trust me! read more
