    There are certain places that instantly feel like tradition every time you come back, and Rubicon Pizza Company is one of those spots for me. If I'm anywhere near Northstar, it honestly doesn't matter what the plan was -- this will be the place I stop. This time I was in the area for some nighttime tubing and knew exactly where I was heading beforehand. I stopped in and grabbed my usual order: the combination pizza and a Greek salad with shrimp. Some traditions just shouldn't be messed with. Both dishes absolutely knocked it out of the park. The pizza was everything I've come to expect here -- perfectly cooked crust, loaded with toppings, and packed with flavor. The Greek salad with shrimp was just as impressive, fresh, crisp, and a great balance alongside the pizza. It's one of those meals where halfway through you're already thinking about the next time you'll be back. The service here has always been top notch. Every visit I've had the staff has been professional, friendly, and welcoming. It's the kind of consistent hospitality that keeps people coming back year after year. Parking in the village area is usually pretty easy to access, and the surrounding scenery at Northstar is just incredible. Whether you're here during hot summer days coming off the lake or during the cold winter days after being on the mountain, this place fits perfectly into the experience. Every bite of that pizza takes me back to those Tahoe memories -- long summer afternoons, cold mountain air, and good food after a day of adventure. Rubicon Pizza will always be my favorite pizza stop in the area, and it's a place I'll keep coming back to every chance I get.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip

    Service was great, ambiance was nice, food was great. We got the artichoke spinach dip, blanco pizza, and Rubicon pizza. All were really good especially the pita that comes with the dip. I prefer the Rubicon over the Blanco. The Blanco was missing a little something, and I'm not sure what it was. I'd come back again!

    Meat pizza

    While staying at Northstar we decided to try out the pizza at the village. So glad we did! They have so many options for their pizzas and they are generous with the meat toppings. The crust was thin and crispy (without being burnt), which is exactly what we were looking for. The salad was fresh. We enjoyed our appetizer which was a flavorful creamy hummus with herbed flatbread. The buffalo wings were also fantastic. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Inside has fun, rustic decor. We plan to come again next time we visit!

    Genuinely great pizza place. I recommend the 4 Cheese and the Blanco, just my personal likes. Don't expect a bargain deal since it is located in a resort village but the quality makes up for it. Hit it if you feel the crave for good pizza after some good honest times down the slopes.

    Spaghetti Bolognese & Create Your Own Pizza: Pepperoni, Mushrooms & Pineapple
    Julianna H.

    Really truly loved this place. I don't see many casual, family-style Italian food with good proportions. We (2) split a personal pizza and spaghetti, and it was perfect! We were so hungry and this really hit the spot. The server was working hard and was still very friendly. Food was delicious, definitely recommend.

    Rubicon Pizza aesthetic doesn't disappoint

    We ate here every day. Literally every day we spent here at the resort, we happily ate at Rubicon. Lunch, dinner? Done & done. Casual atmosphere. With a bar that looks out to the outdoor ice skating rink. Mocktails are actually good. If you know, you know. Nice service. Bartenders are great. Pizza is chef's kiss. Great menu. Cannot wait to get back there.

    If you love thin crust pizza, this place is for you!! We stopped here on a whim after smelling the pizza outside, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. They have bar pie style pizza, with a cracker like crust. It came out piping hot and perfectly crisp. A great place to sit outside and enjoy the northstar village. They also have a lot of great bar food style appetizers on the menu, and we ended up trying their soup of the day, chicken bacon chowder, which was really great as well. I will definitely be coming back on our next trip up.

    Outstanding pizza!  So tasty.
    Nancy S.

    The pizza is outstanding! Thin crust and loaded with pepperoni. It was so tasty. Service was good. We were seated and served quickly and I have no complaints. It was fairly busy at the time but we got our food right away. The atmosphere was interesting. There was live music and that was nice. There is a skating rink in the middle of the commercial area and lots of young families. Some people had dogs and that was cool. All in all, this a good place to have an evening meal. I recommend it largely on the basis of the excellent pizza.

    Crispy Calamari Mozzarella Sticks
    Karla Z.

    Visited on a Monday, when we arrived we were sat instantly which was nice, there was only one other table there so we figured service would be fast. Restaurant did start to fill up as we were checking out tho- plan ahead. It took about 10 minutes for someone to finally approach our table- no drink order asked for just asked if we knew what we wanted to eat. We put in food orders, food came up pretty quickly. The calamari was ok, mozzarella sticks were interesting- not sure if they used a different cheese but it was almost too soft to be mozzarella, kind of runny? Pizza was pretty tasty. nice and crispy. Throughout the entirety of our time there we were only approached to take orders and then when we had to wave someone down for our check. It was unfortunate because we were sat super close to the bar and there were 2 employees who were just sitting on their phones who would get up occasionally to help the bartender. The restaurant is located in a nice little plaza center and seems to get busy after all the snowboarders come down so plan ahead but know service will be slow regardless if there's a lot of people or not.

    This place charges a 15% charge on pick up- carry out orders because they are too cheap to pay a fair wage.

The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

My fiancé and I were celebrating our ENGAGEMENT with a party of 9. We had been looking forward to this place for SO long and were so excited to spend an entire evening here. For VERY important context, both my fiancé and I were restaurant and bar managers for several years. Neither of us have ever raised our voice at anybody working at a restaurant, bar, etc. We are literally an entire crew of service workers or former service workers who are very respectful of the entire industry and its practices. When we walked up, the older blonde woman working the front was extremely hostile and rude from the jump. I was trying to ask questions about the venue, food options, etc before we went in, and she began barking at us for IDs immediately. Not a single hi, welcome in, etc. Just immediately aggressive. My fiancé, who is 27, gave her his Oregon ID. Considering this state is literally a few hours away, you would think they are fairly familiar with this ID, but apparently not! She began aggressively and repeatedly bending the ID to the point we sincerely thought it was going to snap it in half. Despite it being obviously real after looking at it under a light (Oregon has very specific and complicated patterns, it's widely known as the hardest ID to make a fake of), she said she didn't believe that it was real. We were a bit baffled, and insisted it definitely was. She asked my partner what his zip code was, and because we had just moved, he gave her our current zip before realizing she meant the one on his ID. She laughed and said "nope, i'm keeping this! This is a fake". She said because he said the zip code wrong, she wasn't going to give it back. At this point I got angry. I told her that 1. It is 1000% a real ID and 2. It is completely illegal to hold somebody's ID hostage. Her and her coworker got really defensive and told me to "just calm down" despite her continuously bending it and laughing. She kept saying "I'm allowed to keep it if it's fake" which it WASNT. It is completely illegal what she was doing. This is THEFT OF PROPERTY, so I was absolutely not going to calm down. My fiancé called his parents to hopefully get a photo of his passport to diffuse the situation. The older woman who was holding us hostage demanded to TAKE HIS PHONE and speak to his mom. She then grabbed it and walked all the way down the sidewalk, spinning around and giggling. It was one of the most bizarre things I had ever witnessed, and frankly, we believe she was intoxicated. Her coworkers looked incredibly embarrassed and wouldn't even make eye contact with us. She finally came back and we took the ID and phone back from her. She never once apologized for stealing our property, almost breaking it, and falsely accusing us of committing a crime. Not even an inkling of remorse. Just giggling. I told her how absolutely unprofessional and illegal everything she just did was. Luckily, we have legal resources that we will absolutely be exploring this week, because no patron deserves to be held hostage, have their property stolen, and not even receive an apology. Not only did RMU tarnish what was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of our lives, they lost out on thousands of dollars (that we spent elsewhere that night) from our party because their hostess had a major power trip. To make matters even worse, we had other folks join up with us later that night who also stopped by RMU and had equally unpleasant experiences. They all said that the same rude hostess was bending the ever loving life out of their IDs and being incredibly snarky.
