The good: customer service, great tasting pizza and cold beer. The ridiculous: $31.75 for a medium (12") pizza with 3 toppings. Didn't realize that Pizza Factory is part of a 100+ store franchise with locations in 5 states. I love supporting local businesses but the pricing here was offensive. I checked another Pizza Factory location (Redding, CA) and they only charge $18.50 for the same pizza. I'm sorry to say that this is a clear example of price gouging tourists. Sorry/Not sorry. read more

DECEPTIVE PRICING! ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS, FOLKS! Old menus inside restaurant are showing old prices. :-( My husband and I travel A LOT throughout California for both business and pleasure (several times a month), and I'm seeing a disturbing trend growing where many restaurants/eateries are charging more than their posted prices. Now I don't know if this is intentional or just an, "Oopsie doodle! We forgot to update the prices across the board!" But I'm seeing it at both independent and corporate owned places, and frankly, I'm growing tired of the increasing lack of integrity and no longer being able to trust a business. In this particular instance yesterday (Sunday, June 14th), after a lovely day up at the Whitney Portal, hubs and I wanted to grab some dinner before our long drive home. He went to high school in LP 30+ years ago, and Lone Pine's Pizza Factory holds a special, nostalgic place in his heart. We often grab some grub here on every visit. This time we ordered a medium fountain drink and a large "Custom Calzone" with onions, artichokes, meatballs, and sausage, along with a medium soda. The menu, next to the cash register, advertises it for $20.55 "with your choice of 4 toppings" to-go. The total came to $29.48, including a $2 tip, and I didn't think much of it after an exhausting day of high-altitude hiking. The young male employee, appearing to be of high school age, asked if I would like the receipt, and out of reflex I said, "yes, please." He was polite, friendly, and attentive. He even spelled my name correctly on the receipt (bonus points)! Employee #1: 5 stars While waiting for our order, I decided to add-on the salad bar (we love a salad bar where we can prepare it ourself!). The veggies all appeared fresh, the ones we ate tasted fresh, and the salad bar area was clean and tidy despite the busy restaurant and lots of kids running around. Salad bar: 5 stars As I was standing in line behind the customer in front of me placing her order, I glanced at the receipt and noticed the $23.00 charge for the large calzone. This caught my attention, because before our first order, we planned to order a pizza. But their pizza prices seemed exorbitant to us. Now, we do understand that Lone Pine is in a remote area, and it's not a chain restaurant, so cost of doing business is more than the average cost for a corporate chain. We expect the prices to be higher than the city, but $30 for a medium pizza is too steep. So we opted for the calzone instead ($20.55), which offered more than enough food for us and enough for today's lunch. We don't mind spending money if the value is there, and while their pizza has always turned out tasty for us, the price seems way too high for a medium pizza...in our humble opinion. Pricing/value: 3 stars It was my turn to order, and this time I was assisted by another young man, but appearing to be a few years older than the last. I let him know that I already had an order in for a calzone, and that I wanted to add on a salad to-go, but I noticed a price discrepancy on my receipt. He took a look at it for a moment, and then responded that because I ordered beef (meatball) and sausage, that it costs a little more. I pointed out that nowhere on the menu does it state there is a premium price on any of the items, and that the "Custom Calzone" allows up to "4 items," without any exceptions or premium prices advertised. He acknowledged my concerns, but ultimately said that $23.00 is the correct price for the large calzone. I let him know that this is deceptive and false advertising, and I was not satisfied about this experience. In an attempt to make things right, he offered me the salad bar at no cost. I appreciated the gesture and accepted it, and I let him know that the menus need to be updated to reflect accurate pricing. He agreed and apologized for the mix up. He was polite, though a little misinformed (by stating that the calzone cost more "because of the meat"), and he did attempt to right this wrong. However, I wasn't looking for a free item. I would've gladly paid for the salad; I just wanted transparent pricing. Employee #2: 4 stars (could've been 5 stars if not for the wrong reason over "premium topping charge") Overall, the customer service was good, the employees were professional and friendly, the restaurant & restroom was clean (considering how busy it was and compared to many other previous visits)...they were doing the best they could. Our food also came out promptly and just as we ordered, so no complaints there. Let me be clear: this was NOT an employee problem. This IS a management problem that needs to be corrected promptly! If replacing the old menus is too costly, then put a big sign up at the cash register or something equivalent. Don't scam & deceive the customer in hopes that they don't catch it! BE TRANSPARENT! Calzone (presentation/taste): 5 stars Inaccurate menu price vs actual charge: 1 star :-( read more

We were passing through Lone Pine on our way from Tahoe and decided to stop at this cute little pizza place. It's definitely got that classic hole-in-the-wall charm. We ordered a half pepperoni, half ham pizza along with garlic bread. The pizza came out pretty quickly, but our garlic bread never arrived. We waited a bit thinking it might still be coming, and when I finally asked about it, they realized the order hadn't gone through. They made it right away. The pizza was really good! One thing I appreciated was that they didn't skimp on the pepperoni--there was plenty on every slice. The crust was delicious too. I also got to watch a young lady in the back tossing the pizza dough by hand, which was very cool. The restaurant could have been a little cleaner, but the staff seemed busy. Overall, the service was friendly, the food was enjoyable, and I'd definitely stop here again the next time I'm passing through Lone Pine. read more

We had a group gathering and there were plenty of tables and chairs available inside and outside. I was in bit of shock when I saw the prices on the pizza menu, yes it's expensive. I decided on ordering a personal pizza which was reasonably priced and actually more than enough for one person. You can actually share one small personal pizza for two people. The pizza was delicious and they offer beer on tap. read more

I really enjoyed eating here, it was great for large groups and families. We went on a Monday afternoon at 11am, they had a buffet lunch 13.99 adults and 8.99 for kids. It is a great deal, potato wedges, garlic bread, big salad bar, comes with a drinks. You think in a small town like lone pine, and buffet pizza, it would not be good, but the pizza was pretty solid, nice crust, good chew, good firmness, very satisfying. tried the different pizzas, all of them were pretty good. There are also kids' specials like spaghetti, which were a great deal. We ordered the Wings but they were ok, nothing special. Staff was super nice and friendly, it was clean, and organized. You don't have to wait an hour to be seated. nothing to complain about. Perfect place to go after camping in Grays meadow . Dragon egg approved read more

Everyone was friendly and it was easy enough to order. A lot of the tables are wobbly but they made our food fresh and fast which was nice. I didn't find it super tasty though so I might try something else next time if I were to come back. We had the cauliflower crust Margherita pizza and it just felt like not much of each ingredient was used on top so you mostly tasted crust but it was a nice portion (we shared a small) and we didn't leave feeling gross or overly full like I usually do from pizza places. They have a huge salad bar that looked like people just came for that! read more

When in Lone Pine we got pizza for dinner one night and we couldn't have asked for more. They have seating indoors and in the patio. We got a small pizza. We seen the dough being rolled and tossed in air and then being transformed into the pizza of our choice. It was delicious and one of the tastiest pizzas we've eaten. Highly recommended. read more

Still the best pizza in town m. Also great deals for lunch and great spot for after long day hike or backpacking trip. We love it here because it can accommodate big groups. Their kitchen is open so you can see what and how they're making their pizza. read more

Customer service was so bad, they all look miserable working here to the point u can feel the energy The cashier was rude had no customer service, he took our order and when he told me the total he said " the next question is for a tip you can leave it or not I can careless" He walked away saying something to the cooks they all looked and started laughing haha incompetence at its finest. Now the food, wings were ok, we didn't get the drinks we had asked and paid for, pizza crust was good but the overall pizza was not good at all, the cheese did not stay on the pizza it was slipping off and it was soggy. Medium pizza $31 not worth it for me. Travelers just go to the fast food spots read more

I ordered online for pick-up but got there and decided to eat there. The guy at the counter said he would bring it to us.... That never happened, I went up 15 mins later and it was sitting there in a to go box. Food was great, staff was pleasant and they were very busy. Ran into Ted Mcginley. What a nice guy! Didn't get a picture of the food, but did get a picture with Ted! Would definitely eat there again next time we are in town. read more

The pizza was so good!!! Fast too!! Thanks for feeding us as we passed through! Town is cute too!

We were turned away from the patio of the cafe/bakery next door due to our dog, and were relieved to be allowed on the spacious covered patio here. The Greek pizza, ordered without onions, was fantastic. It was topped with generous portions of fresh tomatoes, green peppers and olives, plus just the right amount of feta and mozzarella cheese. The crust was fresh and perfectly cooked. Service was friendly and efficient. The salad bar looked pretty good too, but we had plenty of fresh veggies on the pizza. It's unfair to compare the price of goods and services in Eastern Sierra towns to what you pay in your hometown metropolis. Think of the cost to truck in ingredients for hours over 2 lane highways. Think of the cost to hire and retain people in a town with only 1000 people. The more you pay the more it's worth! read more

Food took 40 minutes to arrive, staff was unprofessional; high school kids where coming in and going to the kitchen and touching stuff making it unsanitary. Food was overpriced 30$ for a medium pizza overall the pizza was also average and super greasy. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. read more

Place is typically a bit chaotic with kids, unbussed tables, and a mound of ice in the tray under the fountain drink dispenser. But employees are pleasant and efficient, and food as good as you could hope for at a chain pizza joint. Pizzas are very solid, good crust, tasty and ample toppings. Garlic bread is delicious. Salads and pasta dishes also respectable. Boneless wings a weak spot (sort of multi-sized, undersauced chicken nuggets?), but still tasty after a long day hiking or skiing. Lone Pine isn't replete with dining options. This place delivers good food fast. My family has been coming for years and will definitely be back. read more

Worst pizza I've ever had, used to be great, cost me 50 dollars for the worst large pizza I've ever bought,will never return.jim Linton

If you're deciding between this place and McDonald's across the street, choose McDonald's. I paid $20 for a small pizza that was soggy and floppy. The salad bar lettuce was frozen and tasted old, and the wings tasted like they were microwaved straight from a bag. The staff was friendly, but unfortunately that was the only positive part of the experience. read more

Lone Pine, like the name implies, is just a pit stop on the road to Mammoth and the Sierras. No one makes this sleepy town their destination. On a recent trip to Mammoth, however, we found ourselves snowed in and trapped... Lone Pine was our refuge, and Pizza Factory and the few other restaurants in town were our salvation. The Motley Crüe of high schoolers running this pizza joint were friendly, accommodating, and cooked up some bomb pizzas and wings for us. The dining room is warm and inviting, while the beer is cold and refreshing. If you find yourself driving through these parts and need to fuel up the family's bellies, look no further. read more

We like to stop here for pizza on our way home from Mammoth. Great pizza and a fresh salad bar. Recommend!

Great service and food. Gluten free option was so tasty and the salad bar is fresh and has lots of options. Highly recommend.

Pizza was under cooked and too expensive for the quality. the oven is offset, needs to be calibrated, because the dough has too much "flop" in it. serious need to improve A real pizza lover would agree with me. read more

Food was great and nice casual atmosphere! Some of the arcades were broken and they got one of our orders wrong but they quickly remade it and brought it to us. Great customer service overall :) we would go there again! read more

Time to carbo-load!!! YYYAAAYYY!!! My hiking friends and I decided to grab our last lunch/dinner together here at Pizza Factory before our early morning wake-up to hike 22 miles to Mt Whitney summit and back. I decided on a mini-sized spinach and garlic pizza for about $10.60 and it was large enough (for me) to have a slice or two, left over to eat later. Tons of cheese, a bit on the oily side, has a bit thicker crust -was decent. FYI, at the time I visited Pizza factory there was only soda type of drinks available here :( -had to go to liquor store down the street to buy green tea or anything else non-carbonated, besides water. Staff wearing mask, hand sanitizer available. Only 1 restroom available for both male/female patrons. Outdoor seating here. Pizza Factory loves Yelpers! get $1 off a medium pizza or $2 off a large or extra-large pizza when you check-in to Yelp. read more

Pizza was trash, wings weren't real wings. They used like Panda Express sauce on their wings. I did an 8 hour hike and after being as tired as I was the food still didn't hit the spot after starving read more

Pretty cool place to hangout after a great day on the mountain trails. They have lots of choices for pizzas, calzones and pricing was decent. There is a small salad bar that you can do AYCE or single trip. Indoor and outdoor seatings. Calzones was really good. Soft and gooey with all the toppings and melted cheese on top. Took a bit longer to bake this then the pizza. Order at the counter and they will bring the foods to your table. read more

Ordered pizza togo last night 30min before they closed, and it was delicious and exactly what we wanted after backpacking for 4 days. Our friend got the mini BBQ chicken pizza, we got an XL half western BBQ chicken (with veggies) and have garlic pesto, and a pizza cookie!!! read more

This place is not good if you like Alfredo sauce on pizza. The mushrooms are also gross almost like they were rehydrated. The Alfredo sauce was runny and tasted like it had been diluted. Do your self a favor and eat somewhere else. I ate one slice of the pizza and was done. I was on the road driving otherwise I would have taken it back. If you want ranch you have to pay for it. I was surprised since I have never seen this before at another pizza factory. The person who answered the phone was also very rude. read more

After a long hike, this place hit the spot! There's a small lot to park, but when we got there it was a full lot so we found some street parking across the way. There is plenty of seating inside and the space is very spacious. Ordered the pesto and sun dried tomato and was sooo excited bc what a unique pizza topping choice! Got the mini pizzas piping hot and oh man... it was super hot but that pesto and garlic with the sun dried tomatoes were to die for. I would come back just for that!

Don't bother stopping! They had 7 people "working" but mostly they were just standing around talking and looking on their phones. The cashier didn't know anything and acted like a mute. They messed up our order of which shouldn't have taken 20 min to make a cold cut sandwich (they warmed it up when we said we didn't need it to be). I said something to the useless manager about them standing around chatting and looking on their phones and she stuck up for them. The huge tattoo on her neck said it all. The Health Dept should be called in as the only unisex restroom was disgusting. It had soap but the soap dispenser was broken and you couldn't get soap out. And the employees wash their hands in there ....I highly doubt it and then they prepare food which is plain gross!!!! Save yourself the headache and don't go!!! read more
