Love the tacos and burgers. Local crowd is awesome and friendly. Good food and great prices.

Just moved up here and I've been driving past Spank's. I've tried a place in town there first Pie had was ok, went to the same place ordered the same pizza and it sucked. The attitude of the young boy making it didn't seem to help. When I got the pizza it was wrong and the edges had rolled up, well just read me other review on the pizza in Placerville. Anyway I swing into Spank's pull it oder the same pie. The guy behind the counter came right and explained that he would feel bad if I had all the ingredients on the pie "it would look like a mess". That shows me that it's not about the money but it about taking pride in what you do, it's not just a job. The pizza was good and I got to eat it with metal utensils instead of plastic prepackaged. Will I come back, yes of course, the place was clean and the pie was a 3 out of four. The only thing I would change is just a tad pit more marinara on the pie, could be because I got the 8 piece pie that it would be a mess. Like I said I will be back and order the same but a bigger pie. J I'm f you're in the area do yourself a favor and swing by. read more

We love Spanky's! My dad and bonus mom live in Placerville so my brother and I always treat them to their favorite pizza! Not only is the pizza delicious but the staff is always friendly and accommodating!! My dad is now 93 and can't come in person but the staff remember him and always make sure he gets his extra Parmesan packets! Thank you Spanky's! read more

For a fun sit-down meal this place is NOT the place to go. When i first walked in I found myself in a bar. After a few uncomfortable seconds I realized there was a passage from the bar into another teeny-tiny room where there was a beat up looking counter and hand-written menu posted on the wall. No one was there, and i contemplated leaving, but I had heard that the place had good pizza so I waited. A few minutes went buy and I ordered. Then I stood there for a few more uncomfortable seconds, wondering where to sit. There were only two very tiny tables in the room and they were both taken. Then, i realized there was yet ANOTHER passage to another room where there were more tables. I went in and sat down. There was a TV and it was on. A very strange show was on where people were doing challenges where they would have to eat something gross or experience something painful and no one was allowed to make any noise at all. It was the weirdest and most disgusting show I ever saw. I assume that is why no one was sitting in that room. Yeah. Luckily I had ordered the pizza to go. And it did turn out to be really good! Thus the three stars. The sauce was very peppery and unusual, but it was excellent! I would reccommend the pizza, but highly suggest requesting delivery! read more

The first bar I've been to where 2 people required oxygen tanks. I was the youngest by a good 40 years. Positive- pizza pretty good. Can't go wrong with Lagunitas Negative - ZERO atmosphere..looks like an upgraded garage built in the 50s read more

You know all the hate on spankys comes from people that have there own hand stuck far up their butt, the pizza is more than decent its faaaaar better than any of the other options around. Pineapple always has a place on pizza. read more

Great pizza! We just moved here and we were looking for a new pizza place great prices delicious pizza

my bad, haven't been to Spanky's in years so they are due a review...don't really care that most is sign is shredded the folk working there are super nice and anyway I'm there for the gold standard cheese pie. Pie looked good with crispy brown bubbled crust. A bit of the New York flop and yes, one bite everybody knows the rules, pretty damn good. Nice crisp crust, excellent cheese (not greasy) but could use a bit more sauce. 7.4 score a solid pie... get in to Spanky's. The knuckleheads who gave the one stars can suck it... read more

I am fortunate to keep working during the Covid crisis so decided to start buying dinner "out" twice a week to help the small businesses in my area. A coworker purchased a calzone from Spanky's today and it was golden brown and looked totally awesome, so I decided this would be one of my two meals on the town this week. I ordered by phone and was told there would be a 20 minute wait for the Calzone. I arrived about 5 minutes early. My calzone came to the cashier inside a take-out container. I was about to take the container and leave when I noticed what looked like a corner of the calzone poking through a hole in the container. In fact it looked like the calzone itself had actually burnt the hole in the container. So I opened the lid...wow...the entire calzone was two shades short of black. I looked at the cashier and a man who appeared to be the owner, but they didn't say anything. No apology for the burnt food. I asked for my money back and left. Clearly, from my coworker's lunch, this establishment knows what a properly cooked calzone should look like. Why they would settle for giving a customer something short of their best is beyond me...offer to cook another one or at least apologize for the burnt food! I will not be back. read more

Yummy pizza!!! We just got a pepperoni, but mmmm! We also ordered some garlic cheese bread and that was extremely yummy, too. I see a lot of reviews mention the condition of the inside. I loved the old feel. Felt like I was a kid again in a pizza joint :) read more

Best pizza in Placerville!!!!!! The have great customer service and always strive for the best product. The also have great prices on beer. These things are what keep me coming back. read more

Great food for a hole in the wall spot. Don't let the inside fool you because their food is great from the pizza to the curly fries and burgers. read more

Spanky's Pizza has been the best place to get great pizza and a cold beer in Placerville for over 35 years! The Calzones rock too! They use high quality mozzarella, not that crappy stuff like little ceases uses with no flavor Give Spanky's a try. Highly recommended! read more

So good. Our first time here on a Monday night and the pizza was about one of the top 3 pizzas we have had in years! Great prices , and good beer! read more

Yum!! Came here for food after picking up the kid from school we had pizza and we also ordered a burger and curly fries! Nice simple and tasty! This place is a cozy little family place! Nothing fancy here just the way we like it!! :) good service too! read more

Best tacos if your in the mood for some ground beef tacos, huge, fried shell, lettuce tomato onion cheese and hot sauce

Great pizza after an afternoon of sightseeing. Neighborhood bar setting. Friendly folks.

Best pizza in placerville!as for the 2 star reviews?i don't get it,by far better than any pizza within 50 miles ..and for the comments saying it's too greasy lol that's like saying bacon is too salty or your bread has too much gluten in it,if you weren't looking for greasy don't order melted cheese.i always get my pizza to go but from standing inside it seems fine,it's obviously an older building but that's fine with me.take my advice and get your next pizza at spankys they never disappoint and their prices are also very fair read more

Where do you go after a long day of rafting to beat the heat and good eats......... Spankey's pizza in Placerville. We rafted this weekend on the American river. The heat was soo oppressive that we could not take it any longer and we were starving! We drove to the nearest town to take on some food and a movie. As my friend stated.....I'd pay $6.50 just for the air conditioning! Well the movies weren't so great but getting back to the campsite and avoiding the meltdown was worth it. The veggie pizza was so decent I ate a whole one! read more

This place is pretty bad. Don't order any pizza because I have an upset stomach the entire day. The pizza was under cook. :/ The place needs a remodel and food is just not good. read more

Pizza is not great and the wings were fatty and soggy. The building is dilapidated... Skip this place. It's not a charming little pizza place, it's a run down joint. read more

Don't know about the Pizza. But the Hamburgers rock! Better than In and Out for sure!! Quick service too.

Went here for dinner with my kids, husband and mother in law last night - Got a lg salad, 5 sodas and a lg pep pizza. The salad was delicious (and very big), the pizza was not that great. My 3 year old liked it but my 8 year old had one bite and wouldn't touch it again. Took the kids down to the arcade, very boring decor and very dark/dungeony. Kids had fun playing the candy machine - but the candy was very old and impossible to open from the wrapper. The owner and staff were very very nice, polite and fast. Just didn't care for the atmosphere or pizza. read more

I forgot to fill out the additional information on this business, so I wanted to come back and do it. I will return to this restaurant.

I used to go here as a teenager and it was awesome. Now it's awfully rundown and the pizza is shadow of what it once was. Good luck with parking!! read more

Little campy interior, but if you have a hankering for NY pizza, you can't go wrong at Spankys.

Excellent burgers and pizza....yes, we got both! Very polite, friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Wish we lived closer.

We decided to try this place after going to a movie tonight. Ordered our pizza and when they brought it out, it had the wrong toppings. I took it back to the counter and the employee decided to argue with me about what we ordered! They remade the pizza and may I be completely honest, it was the MOST DISGUSTING PIZZA we have ever had. I don't know who is writing all the "great reviews" for this place, but they must be friends of the owners! It was so bad that we left almost the entire pizza there and walked out. If I could give it less than 1 star, I definitely would! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

Okay, so if you're looking for a place with Frills, this place is not it. It's old, and it's somewhat outdated. However, the pizza is off the rails. This is the best pizza crust I've ever eaten in my life. And I don't say that lightly. It's a Perfect Blend between crispy and chewy, and the toppings were on point. The manager was very kind, and very helpful. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great pizza...good service...game room and full bar...will definitely be back. Looks family owned quality and attention to service is great. Interior is clean but looks like they have been here quite a while. Old school home town spot. Give them a shot you won't be disappointed. read more

I first saw it in the Gold Panner. Ok it is not the snazziest place you will ever go to but this is Placerville it is the absolute best crust in California, second to none, they don't use a lot of salt which is a stable in the county, and the biggest thing that separates them from the rest is a very friendly and polite staff -- around here that makes this one a maybe four restaurants to frequent. This is real dough and fresh ingredients. The staff will fix yours the way you want it. Plus++the price is just right. I'm a regular and I'm not even fat yet! read more

ive grew up here never had problems with spankys. its old style fastion just like sam's town(arcade) dont diss people buissness that been around older then you. the idea of spanky is the reall way of cooking old fastion //////////////. cooking now a days the food u buy in the grocery store is bad. /////////most old fastion ways are a lot more healtheir then the modern way. did u know u eat human and horse meat in your beef how's that. read more

I grew up in Pollock Pines and Placerville so I am a bit biased, but know my town.. If you're the Richie rich, expecting top notch atmosphere with high end dining this is NOT the place for you.. If you're looking for someplace that has historic value and good people and drinks and a pizza craving cure you should try it.. I don't usually ever write reviews, but can't stand to see a place I grew up with be insulted by anyone.. Its everyone's loss not to experience all they can.. This place is as local as it gets.. Please check them out.. read more

I just tried this place for the first time and it was so good! It was very well priced and the pizza was amazing. The staff was very friendly too. Downstairs they have a game room so it is also a great place to bring kids or just hang out. The only downside is that I thought the place kinda stunk which is why it did not get 5 stars. It's in an old building so there is probably nothing they can do about it, but it bothered me. My husband could not smell it, so you might not be able to either. I think I just have a sensitive nose. I am going to do take-out next time. read more

The pizza was average. The place is by far the filthiest establishment I have ever had the misfortune to enter. The chair was actually stuck to the carpet when we tried to pull it out from the table. The tables looked too worn to even be given to good will. The soda was flat there was almost no sauce on the pizza and the crust was way too thick to be called New York Style Pizza will never go there again. read more

Delicious pizza! Thin NY style just how I like:-) Not fancy in the slightest, but who needs fancy pizza? Not me! Just carry out and enjoy at home. The guys who work there are always friendly and helpful too. read more

We're visiting from Elk Grove. Awesome pizza. Very friendly service! Don't let the building discourage you. Highly recommend!!!

I vistited Spanky's Pizza today for the first time. I have been driving by it for a long time and never had a chance to stop in, until today. The food was absolutely fantastic!! Of course I had the pizza, and will be going there many many more times. Ten thumbs up!!!!!!! read more

Just had the best works pizza ever, crust was fresh and crunchy,great sauce and plenty of toppings!!!

one of my favorite low key, good food, no drama places to go to in town... Spankys is easy to get in and out of and centrally located in town. The larger dining room has a juke box with great classic rock and country. Our standard meal is the two taco plate and large soda,which is just the perfect amount to fill you... Service is fast, personal and low key.. it's not intended to be fancy, just taste good and fill you up at a very good price... read more
