    Just the start!

    While visiting the Reno/Sparks area for Hot August Nights, my wife and I wanted to enjoy some thick crust pizza for lunch. Looking at all of the options, we decided to give The Blind Onion Pizza and Pub on Victorian Avenue in Sparks a try, before we headed back out of town. It was an early Monday, but upon arrival, we were greeted by a nice young man. He took our order and was very attentive to get us our cups for water and a hint when the food should be ready. We ordered a side Caesars salad to share and a large 1/2 General's and 1/2 Carnivore Pizza. We took a seat at a table near the main entrance, as we were the only customers there at 10:50 AM. Within minutes, the young man delivered our side salad with two small containers of dressing. The salad was plenty big for two and was quite refreshing on a hot August day. After we finished the salad, our pizza was delivered to our table. He also offered and brought out some ranch dressing and some of their hot honey, which was to die for. The pizza came with Red Sauce on the entire pie and half with Mozzarella, Salami, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Black Olives, Mushrooms, Mixed Bell Peppers & Red Onions. The other half came with Mozzarella, Canadian Bacon, Salami, Pepperoni, Linguiça & Italian Sausage. The crust was thick, spiral shaped dough that was done to perfection. We ate from our respective sides of the pie and it was fantastic. Having enjoyed pizza across the western states, this was near the top of the list. The crust dipped in their hot honey was the bomb! We boxed up what was left and took it home to enjoy as planned-overs. If you are in the Reno/Sparks area and looking for some great pizza, give The Blind Onion Pizza and Pub a try. Enjoy!

    Decided to grab some pizza at Blind Onion before our movie down the street at Cinemark on a weekday. They weren't busy at all so service was really fast. We ordered the small honey badger pizza. It was so good! The dough and the red sauce were honestly my favorite part. The crust of the dough was soft and perfect for dipping in sauce. (I'm typically a thin crust gal so this was a surprise to me) Service was quick and she was really friendly and attentive. I did knock a star off because the restaurant needs some updates. The cracked chairs and overall grunginess of the area we were in just didn't do it for me. I like the Northern sparks location better in terms of the interior. Everything else was great though! I would eat there again for some good pizza.

    Our first time here. This place is in the same parking lot as Painted Tree and Trader Joe's. My husband ordered ham & pineapple pizza and I ordered the chop salad with chicken. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. They have a full bar too. Good place for hanging out with friends, families or even a date night. We will be back!!

    I tried something different off the menu and it wasn't my favorite. I ended up with food envy of the pizza around me! The bread was too toasted and while it was packed with goodies it just didn't pack the flavor I desired. We appreciated the relaxed atmosphere as we had kids. Service was quick even though it was busy.

    Was in the mood for a good slice, this location has always been my favorite but it the past has been a hit or miss there slices sometimes seems pre made and not the same as if you order a full pizza, but today they knocked it out of the park On our first snow day gooey hot saucy slice with a puffy yummy crust yes! and Mo was super nice

    9.5.23: My friend and I stopped in for a bite to eat before going to a music show a couple doors down at The Ranch House. There were seats available at the bar and the ambience was cool and the employees were nice and friendly. We both got the special deal of a super slice (actually 2 decently sized sizes) and a soda. We both went with the classic cheese topping. Blind Onion never disappoints and have easily mastered their cook on a cheese pizza. Of course the braided crust is my fav and pairs so well with their signature side of honey. We also got an order of the garlic bread sticks and they were hot, soft, garlic'y, and delicious. Snapped a pic of the menu (zoom in t detail). Snapped a few pics of the pizza pub vibe. They have specials and a happy hour, see pic for details. They offer brews on tap and a variety at that and if you're into cocktails, they have a huge selection of different hard liquors. There's a big TV and they had the baseball game on. Check out my short video of the bar. It's also worth mentioning they have an open mic night, see pic for details.

    We live in Sparks, and hands down we order to go from this location rather than the Los Altos one. No matter what time we call on a Friday night, they always say that they'll have our pizzas ready in 15 minutes, and they always do. Same great feel and service as you'd get at any of the Blind Onion locations in Reno. Knocking off a star because it can be unpredictable whether and where you find parking during a busy time. I always plan to park a few blocks away and walk in, though, so I know what to expect.

    Came to celebrate our daughters 21st birthday. She was so happy with her choice of what she wanted to eat. We made reservations and then called ahead to order the food. It all came out at the time requested. The staff were amazing and so was the food. The party room has games for the younger kids and there were a few epic games of jinga.

    We've tried their Reno location but this Sparks one on Victoria is our new favorite spot. We didn't know why their crust is so delicious and now we know why, they make it with BROWN SUGA!! To top off the amazingness they also give you honey or even honey with chili flakes and siracha to dip your crust in. We also named this spot our favorite because of the staff. The guy that gave us cool Matthew McConaughey vibes made our pizza with loving care. We felt it in every delectable bite. We will be back in Reno in 2 weeks and we can't wait to go back again.

    The best pizza I have ever had. I want to personally that the amazing pizza cook who's zen was amazing. His vibe was so positive that this went into the pizza itself. You my friend have the zen I strive for. And I wish I knew your name and the fantastic lady who is a packers fan who took out order and served the out of this world pizza pie. We will be back for the harmonious zen vibrations and the great pizza in a place of calm.

My pizza came out with a good, wood-fired crust, bubbling hot sauce/cheese and bountiful meats. Neither my granddaughter nor myself had any complaints. She happily took home the leftovers.

    First time stopping by in quite a while. It is World Cup season, and I had hoped that Ole Bridge…read morestill had some of the magic I remember. And glad to say, that in my experience, this is still the closest we have in Reno to a "soccer bar". This has always been a great spot. Small, yes, but in that casual, intimate, easy-going way that has a lot of charm. Lots of hard-wood finishes, barstools, and TVs to catch what's on. And at time of writing, totally overflowing with futbol energy. There are a good number of bar spaces, tables, and outside seating overlooking the river, which is a BIG draw. The beer selection here is great, both on tap and in cansor bottles. But they also have a decent full-barselection of wines, spirits, and cocktails. Plus, a decent smattering of N/A options. And prices are on par with most other bars in town. Service here has been quite good. Friendly in the extreme, and relatively prompt. Though if there are big, crowded events (such as a game being on), you may have a little slowdown. Plus, the vibes here are just fantastic. The location also cannot be beat, as it is ell placed to enjoy the riverfront and explore more of the area. Though parking may be a bit tight, depending on where you park and what day or time it is. There is also no food options here, but there are plenty of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. All in all, I am glad some of the energy I remember is still here. I will have to come back during MLS or Premier League matches to see how things stand. And with a soccer team HOPEFULLY returning to Reno, I definitely hope we can get the local supporters groups to return here, as well. Definitely a libation spot not to be missed. Cheers!
