I'm not in a habit of writing reviews about chain restaurant operations, but I get the feeling that each Pizza Factory outlet is independently run. And thus, in my humble assessment, this place qualifies as a mom & pop joint. I visit friends in the Somerset area and I house-sit in the summers there and this is one of my go-to places. Their pizza is excellent and I feel that their employees are well trained as there is a consistency of high quality food that comes out of there. I seem to get the same pizzas as I'm content with what has become my standard orders, the meat pizza is one, the other veggie. And, I give props to the staff there, friendly as always. Aside from the food, the premises reminds me of an old-school pizza parlor, lots of elbow room in the dining area, a small arcade to entertain the young-'uns, and TV monitors to keep the ambience lively enough on slow days. The place is a nice boon to a rural area that doesn't have much in terms of selection. Of course that's coming from an urban rat that has dozens of choices beyond his doorstep, so it's quite a compliment. read more

We normally come here because there's nothing else close. It's just mid pizza. Today we got a pizza and there was a hard pit in the pizza my husband bit right into hit and hurt his tooth. read more

Pizza Factory - This was on the pizza and my husband but right into it almost cracking his tooth. - Pizza Near Me - Placerville, California

My boyfriend's dad picked up a pepperoni pizza and cheese bread for him and I to eat and it was quite tasty! Also, it seems like this location is full of some great workers because upon arrival to pick it up they accidentally put in an extra of the pizza we ordered and despite the miscommunication they kindly offered us to take the extra one for free. He politely declined, but I do gotta say that is some peak customer service (especially for a pizza chain). Anyways, if you're craving some quick and yummy pizza don't be shy to give this spot a try! read more

A solid little pizza spot we are fortunate to have within 10 minutes of the house. The food always comes out hot and fresh. The salad bar is always attended to and the restaurant is clean. A great place to sit and watch a game and enjoy some good pizza and a beer. read more

Always love this place. The updates are looking good. We couldn't get outta there fast enough though as the new lights are not pleasant. Hopefully you can tone down the shade a bit. read more

I LOVE this Pizza Factory! Their pizza is consistently delicious; crispy crust, and just the right amount of toppings. It changed hands recently to a guy named Dave who introduced himself to us. I told him ai always mag my sister to come here when I visit! He said the previous owners had it for something like 34 years. He owns the Placerville and Pollock pines locations as well so he really knows the business. I'm looking forward to see how they do. They just finished adding a fresh coat of paint as well as hand-painted artwork so it's looking good. Great job today, Dave. We'll definitely be back! read more

The pizza here is amazing and everyone who works here is wonderful and always so helpful. Tonight I ordered pizza for my husband to pick up but from the wrong location (so embarrassing). Abby was able to get us assisted swiftly and was so kind about the mix up. Her being so nice about the situation was so sweet and made a really really hard and frustrating day end with a smile and so much appreciation. Thank you so much to Abby and the Pizza Factory on Pleasant Valley staff for being such amazing gems and really going above and beyond for us tonight. read more

The California Sierra foothills best place for a pie. And it's located smack dab in the middle of nowhere. That's the best part.

Please, please......please!!! Take care of your fly problem. An otherwise good experience after a fun day at apple hill was had, save for the annoyance of swatting away flies. My spaghetti and meatballs meal was inexpensive, and while not mind blowing, it was a good overall bowl of pasta. A hearty portion that hit the spot. My mom and sister each had a mini pizza, and my sister enjoyed the pesto. The customer service is good, too. A good experience for a basic pizza place, but for the love of Cthulhu....buy a fly swatter read more

Great pizza and great salad. We are from SoCal and come into somerset every few months and Pizza Factory is a must! Ellen is awesome and so are the rest of her workers. Very clean as well. read more

Disappointed as we ordered take out pizza and when we got home we had a hair in our pizza. I called back & they offered to remake it, but I was disgusted so I decided to pass and just asked they refund our money. And they did, I appreciate that. read more

I got a cheese pizza for 12$ here and it had no sauce what so ever. Now it was a 12 dollar pizza but come on. If I wanted cheese on bread I would have ordered it.. read more

Great pizza, great lasagna. Pizza is consistently awesome. Nice salad bar. Everything I like is there. Great selection of beer.

I've ordered from this PF three times, it's been Really half-ass service on all occasions. The staff have poor communication. We just ordered bone-in chicken wings. They just made us boneless because that's all they had. I would have canceled the order of wings if they'd told me before they made me something I didn't order it like. Why take a number if you won't call to inform your customers of issues with their order? read more

We buy about 2 or 3 pizzas a month there. Tonight, my pizza was way off. Skimpy on the extra toppings (that I paid extra for.) I asked for a well done pizza so it wouldn't be doughy and it was gooey like raw dough in the middle. This alone is not the problem, mistakes are made all the time. That's understandable. When I called to tell them I was unsatisfied, they treated me like I was bothering them. I spoke to the owner who YELLED AT ME. Told me that he's been making pizzas for 20 some years and everyone loves his pizza. I told him that I am a paying customer and I am calling to say that I am unhappy with my pizza. He said, "What do you want me to do? You want another pizza?" I told him that not only do I want my pizza remade, I do not like the way he's speaking to me. He said, "oh yeah?" and HUNG UP ON ME. I was going to let it go, but no... this pizza sucks. I want my pizza remade and I want an apology. I called back and he said, "oh no SWEETHEART, I would never hang up on you, I'm sorry it's been a bad day, I'll remake your pizza. Give me about 20 minutes. But I want you to bring the pizza back so I can see why you're unhappy with it." So I load the kids up in the car, drive back and show him the pizza. "See," I say, "Two of these pieces for instance, don't have any tomatoes. I paid extra for tomatoes, one would expect they'd at least touch every slice of pizza." I was expecting him to say, "Ah I see, you're right. I'm sorry, here's your pizza." NOPE. HE SLAMS THE LID DOWN ON THE PIZZA! Like a total jerk. He said, "I've been making pizzas for blah blah blah....." I said, "you can't speak to me like this." and looked over at his employees, who all looked very uncomfortable. He said, "WHATYA WANNA DO, CALL THE FRANCHISE BOARD?! WELL GO AHEAD, SEE IF I CARE!" I said, "Okay, is that what you want me to do?" Then this guy, who's name is Greg, said in a crazy bipolar whisper, "no, I mean I'm sorry, like I said, here's your pizza, it's the way you asked for, here just take it." SERIOUSLY? .... I still can not believe how inconceivably rude this guy was to me, I actually started to cry from having my adrenaline pumping and felt like I was being attacked. It was a horrible feeling. I couldn't believe this was essentially, all OVER A STUPID PIZZA. His horrible customer service and lack of manners and basic common decency pretty much ruined Wednesday's PBSF. Oh. that's our family's Wednesday ritual, "Pizza-Beer-Survivor-Fun" He tried to ruin PBSF!!! He's a big bully. He must be psychotic, he would say "sorry sweetheart" and then he actually growled at me, literally a growl... He told me "have a nice day... (growl) and never come back here" I said, "Don't worry, I wont." And you shouldn't either. read more

I ordered an extra large western BBQ chicken pizza tonight at about 8pm. They close at 830 and I was there at 815 to pick up my pizza. When I got it home and opened the box it was obvious from the smell that it was burnt. The pizza was burned on the under side so bad no one could eat it. This pizza cost almost $30 and was our last minute late dinner after having a very long day. Needless to say no one had dinner. We were to tired and disappointed by the burned pizza. read more

Great vibe and everyone is always friendly. Convenient location for those of us who live out in the sticks. Docked a star because every time I have ordered it takes forever. And their prices are pretty steep considering they offer pizza. read more

These guys make the BEST pies! Very friendly staff and service. I eat here pretty much weekly, never had a bad experience.

I absolutely love there pizza. It's way better than round table and the staff are wonderful!!

Called an order in after my call was ignored multiple times finally when I finally got threw they gave me attitude and put me on hold finally after 10 minutes I got to place my order in which I was told would be done in 30 - 35 minutes at 6:30 pm I showed up at 7:10 pm 40 minutes later and was told my stuff was not ready it would be in another 10 minutes I then waited until 7:35 until my order was finally gaven to me the young lady who I assume was the manager was obviously unqualified with poor customer service skills. read more

Came in to order a pizza dine in and when ordering I asked to leave off a few toppings. Pizza arrives with the stuff I asked to leave off on the pizza. With the pizza they brought the order tag specifically stating such. I went up to inquire why it was incorrect and the lady berates me telling me it was made correctly. She wants to argue with the customer? Then she has another pizza in front of her telling me I have the wrong one after arguing over the first. How about just apologizing for the mistake and make it right? I will not be going back, the Pollock Pines location has always been nothing but polite. I would like to mention the other employees were apologetic so not all are bad. I think the lady with the issue was the manager. read more

The new Factory Special Pizza is no replacement for the Pony Express pizza they had for years. We've had it twice now, and the crust was thin and over-cooked, there were fewer toppings, and the sauce is too spicy (the opinion of three out of three people). We've been going there for over twenty years, but if they can't make a pizza any better than this, we're going to find somewhere else. read more

Great pizza and the sandwiches are to die for. I got a meatball sammich it's was huge!

Always order from here. Love the pizza, the sauce especially. Grab a 2L of soda on your way out. Salad bar can be for take out also! Friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Ask for deals, they always have one read more

Management is HORRIBLE. Workers are great, but mistreated. Pizza Factory needs to do some serious investigation into their owners and management because this seems to be franchise-wide. Fire this manager. She is completely unprofessional, wears a bathing suit skirt to work. Workers claim she takes money from the safe. Might want to investigate. Terrible. read more

STOP! DON'T READ ANY REVIEWS EARLIER THAN OCT. 2014. This place has made a TOTAL transformation. New owners, new menu and a remodel inside to die for. Makes you proud to be part of this community. Gorgeous inside. The pizza was one of the best in town. Don't know if I'm more excited about the yummy pizza, or beautiful surroundings in there. Open floor plan with a separate room you can reserve that has the most amazing mural from a local artist of the Rubicon trail. A room that is a perfect tribute to the 'con. If your a wheeler, there is no reason for you to not have come see this place yet. Outstanding guys. Superb job. Will for sure be a community favorite and for anyone coming through town read more

Here's what I think. The employees are great. They were all super nice and friendly. The pizza was really good. It's was not rushed or made with lame food products. They actually care about the customer. Here's the part where the owners can step it up a bit. The TV is terrible. It hurts my eyes looking at it. A new TV from Costco is cheap and it would make a huge difference. Take a step back and look at the hanging ivy on the walls. That was cool in the 80s. It could be amazing with some nice flat screens and get lots of sports. I will go back again for sure. read more

New to area so I thought to try this place out. Phoned in an order and had to wait another 15 minuets from when they said it would be ready. 3 customers came and left while I was waiting. Not impressed at all. Cost me almost $60 for 2 pizzas. Not worth it!! You're better off going into town for something better and your moneys worth. read more

Sometimes, you get a craving for a salad - you know... croutons, tomatoes. Really, just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce... and cheese... and bacon. Alright, alright... pizza... you get a craving for pizza. In my case, I get that craving pretty regularly, so the family and I end up here fairly often. Well, you can easily satisfy that craving here. There is an abundance of variety and "custom" creations. You can obviously choose from the specialty pizzas on the menu or ask them to throw together a concoction of your very own. The garlic white sauce is a pretty awesome substitution, too (if tomato sauce isn't your thing). And I gotta tell ya... this isn't some cheap Domino's slap-together job. These pies actually taste good! Kids like the little arcade tucked away in the back. Nice for us bigger kids to see dough being tossed for each individual pizza crust. Overall, a great, casual atmosphere where the whole family can fill up, relax a bit, and not feel rushed through the meal. We'll obviously keep coming back... read more

Really good pizza. They are friendly and had our food ready when got there to pick it up . I think they are better than the place in Pollock

This place is the best! The family that runs this place defiantly is doing it right. Fresh salad bar, cold beer, and delicious pizza. They also are super friendly and treat you right-- we come here almost once a week because they are so awesome! read more

I watched how rude the owner is to the employees, and that shouldn't be the way you treat employees.

I cannot say enough good things about the folks who work here. They helped me in a moment of crisis even though I wasn't buying food. If there is a gold star for customer service then these folks who work here should get it. With no cell coverage, it was hard for me to get anywhere and these folks went out of their way to help. Thank you guys and whenever I pass through Pleasant Valley I will stop by to visit. You keep the faith in humanity. THANK YOU! read more
