First time coming to Lake Tahoe! We decided to check this place out after seeing some good reviews on social media. Definitely would recommend!! Probably some of the best pizza I've ever had. Friendly service as well, got seated right away. read more

Whitecaps Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Kings Beach, California

Whitecaps is a must if you are staying in the area! Quite possibly the best pizza in all of Tahoe. We've tried many places over the years and Whitecaps is ultimately the spot we always go to. It's super busy, so definitely recommend coming early or planning your visit on a weekday. On a Saturday night, it took about 30 minutes for a table, so we sat at the bar instead. The service was good, though the food did take a while to come out. The Sopressata pizza with honey drizzle was amazing and probably the highlight of our most recent dinner. They have a ton of options on the menu though, if you're not feeling pizza. I've heard amazing things about the meatball sandwich, which we plan to get on our next visit. read more

Probably the best pizza in Kings Beach! Atmosphere: Casual, clean, and modern, with a beautiful lakeside location. Seating: Indoor dining, bar seating, and an outdoor patio. Service: Moderate, could be slow during busy hours Restrooms: Two unisex restrooms located downstairs. Pet-friendly: The outdoor patio welcomes pets. Recommended: * Vodka Pie * Spicy Hawaiian * Craft Mushroom * Vegetarian Pizza (If you're vegan or vegetarian, this place has plenty of delicious options to choose from) * Spinach Salad * House Salad * Caesar Salad * Chianti Wine * Freshies The gourmet pizzas were fresh, loaded with generous toppings, and paired with flavorful sauce combinations. My favorite was the Spinach Salad: it was fresh and delicious. Their drink selection is also quite extensive, and they're happy to customize beverages upon request. For example, you can order a half lemonade and half beer mix if that's your style. Overall, a great spot for tasty pizza, fresh salads, and relaxing lake views. read more

Whitecaps Pizza is a great pizza option in North Lake Tahoe. Located in Kings Beach just a short drive from Incline Village, it offers beautiful lake views, a relaxed atmosphere, and some seriously tasty pizza. The pizza is absolutely the reason I keep coming back. My longtime favorite is the Soppressata pizza with hot honey drizzle. The combination of spicy, savory, and sweet is outstanding, and it might be one of the few pizzas that's just as good the next day as leftovers. On my most recent visit, we tried the Vodka Pie on the Detroit-style crust. While I enjoyed the flavors, I discovered that the Detroit-style crust probably isn't for me. Going forward, I'll stick with their more traditional crust options, which I've consistently enjoyed over the years. The beet salad is another standout. It's beautifully presented, and the fresh dill on top adds a unique touch that works surprisingly well. My only suggestion would be to increase the portion of beets a bit, as the amount felt somewhat limited compared to the rest of the dish. The beer selection is extensive, with plenty of options for almost any taste. Wine drinkers will find a handful of choices available by the glass or half bottle, which is appreciated, although none of the wines I've tried have been particularly memorable. The biggest challenge for Whitecaps continues to be the service. While I've had a few positive experiences, I've also had multiple visits where service felt inattentive and unfriendly. It often seems difficult to get someone's attention when you need something, and there have been occasions where details were overlooked, including being served wine in a visibly dirty glass. While it was replaced when brought to their attention, the lack of acknowledgment or apology left something to be desired. That said, I continue to return because the pizza is genuinely that good. Between the lake views, the casual atmosphere, the excellent beer selection, and tasty pizza. Whitecaps remains a great place to gather with friends, share an appetizer and a pizza, and enjoy a cold drink. If the service ever catches up to the quality of the food, this place could easily become a top pizza option in NLT. read more

Two very good things which is why this is not a 1 star review. 1. Kate our server was fantastic 2. The pizza was delicious. Unfortunately the rest of the staff particularly the rude bartender, skinny brunette girl with tattoos, could not have been worse. And our pizza took over an hour to get and was not warm so clearly the staff didn't bother to bring it out on time. See the picture for further comments read more

We've been to Whitecaps a few times over the years and always enjoyed it, but after a few years gap, I can say the pizza is better than ever! The crust is exactly what I like--that New York thin but with a little puff and chew in the outer crust. We got regular cheese--perfect for kids--margherita, and some kind of everything with lots of meat. Glad we got takeout because on a Saturday night, the restaurant was mobbed! And yet somehow, even though they were overwhelmed with orders (takeout orders were only walk-in, not taken over the phone), the wait was not long at all! read more

I ordered take out so no review of service (? Stars) and interior. I ordered the 12" veggie meat combo. They told me it would be ready in a half hour and it was. The crust was crispy and there were a load of veggies and meat. The price was average ($25). Overall the pizza was good (4 stars) and I could have it again. The only issue was that the handicap parking space was the furthest parking space (2 Stars) from the main entrance. I was told it was because in the summer the rear entrance is mainly used. But it's not summertime. read more

My adult kids LOVE this place! Good pizza, amazing homemade focaccia bread and lovely salads too

Dog unfriendly, poor customer service and average food. We drove an hour to eat there with our dog and were told by a middle aged man that we had to sit outside, fine. It was the hottest time of the day and the whole patio had no cover at all so we asked if they could provide covering. The man was like "no, we can't do anything, sit under the sun with your dog or leave" and left. We opt to place a takeout order and eat somewhere else instead. But when we asked for utensils and other supplies, the cashier lady that placed our order was visibly annoyed and unwilling. We ordered Detroit style pizza, it was 80 percent crust. They left the pizza in the box without handing it to us after the pizza was cooked. read more

After snow shoeing, it was time for a late lunch. Having never explored this part of Lake Tahoe, I was excited to try a new place to eat. Having it be lakeside, was an added bonus! Whitecaps is a short walk from Kings Beach recreation area. There's also a small lot and some street parking. The indoor space is a bit small but they also have a spacious back patio. We chose indoor seating and lucked out with lake views. The focus on the menu is pizza but they also feature, salads, sandwiches and pastas. I ordered the 12 inch vegan which had a shaved brussel sprouts, peppers, arugula, mushrooms, artichoke and onions. The crust was perfectly crisp and I ended up with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance is causal and chill. Really enjoyed a late lunch early dinner here. It was getting crowded later in the day (we were done eating by 4 and walked by later, to see a line forming outside.) Excellent pizza-will be back! read more

If you're in Lake Tahoe and craving Detroit-style pizza with a view that feels almost unfairly gorgeous, Whitecaps Pizza is the spot. We ordered the Detroit Italian and the Detroit Sopressetta, and honestly... I thought I was going to stay loyal to my own pizza until I stole a slice of my husband's. The crispy-edged, airy dough? Perfect. The toppings? Generous. The flavor? Absolutely worth plotting a return visit. My Detroit Italian came out bubbling and beautifully caramelized, loaded with all the savory goodness you want in a proper Detroit pie. And that Sopressetta? Let's just say I briefly considered swapping boxes and pretending I "accidentally" took the wrong one home. The patio sits right in the sweet spot overlooking Lake Tahoe, and the view is unreal with mountains, blue water, all of it. Just know it does get a little windy and chilly outside, so bring a layer unless you want your pizza to double as a hand warmer. Whitecaps is one of those rare finds where the food and the setting both slap. Highly recommend stopping by, stealing a slice from whoever you're with, and soaking in that Tahoe magic. read more

Dropped by on Mother's Day for a bite. Dom came by quickly to get us started. He's a joy and knowledgeable on all things Whitecaps! Started with a round of drinks - you must try the 2 Towns "Spring Forward" - from the bar and an appetizer of cheesy garlic bread. Cold drinks, hot apps! Next arrived some amazing pizzas! A Meat Lover, a specialty pizza for the ladies - it had Gorgonzola cheese, pine nuts, white sauce and Argentinian Red shrimp, and other goodies. All followed up with some amazingly warm Strawberry Bread pudding! Such a beautiful day watching waves on Tahoe and running into dear friends from the Reno area! Overall, another wonderful time at Whitecaps Pizza! read more

Food was good! Everything tasted fresh. No complaints about the food itself. Knocking off one star for the service though. We were in Tahoe for a family trip so we had a large group. Apparently they don't host large groups so they said we would have to be split up into 2 tables. Ok, that's totally fine! We only asked to be seated outside (since we had a dog), near each other if possible, and to have it under one bill. Doesn't seem like difficult requests, but the hosts were giving us annoyed looks, and kept repeating that they would have to speak to the servers first about it. The tone they were giving off seemed like they were doing us a favor, so we didn't really appreciate that. Food was a little slow to come out but we still enjoyed our meal and the outside patio was spacious with plenty of benches. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. read more

A little "getaway" from Reno/sparks Got the craft mushroom pizza (Bummer we couldn't do half and half on their specialty pizzas), but pizza was delicious! Dough wasn't too thin or too thick.

The pizza here is amazing! Probably some of the best pizza you can get. My sister ordered their vegan pizza and it was so yummy with a touch of flair for presentation.

Not consistent as the hostess was great and friendly but the servers seemed upset to be working. A smile can go a long way.

Reservations definitely recommended if you can get one. This place is a local's favorite and gets very busy. The service staff was very nice and polite, hostesses were extremely accommodating. Servers were a little bit overwhelmed, so unfortunately, we had to wait a while for a drink refills, which is why this isn't a perfect score. Also our pizza arrived hot, but it was a little overdone. You can see in the photos. The flavors were delicious, crust was more like a cracker, but I can only attribute that to potentially how busy they were. The kitchen might've been as overwhelmed as the staff. The location is awesome with the Lake view, but this place is small and can be jampacked with people. The walkways are extremely narrow so it makes it hard for servers to get around while patrons are finding their way to their seats or their friends. Overall, the food was good, but I would recommend ordering to go and take it to the free public beach. Hoping to return and change my review to five stars on a less busy night. read more

We had an excellent lunch at Whitecaps during our quick trip to Tahoe from Oregon. Everything we tried was delicious! The fomaggio pizza was fantastic--the crust was perfectly crunchy, not too thick, and the beef sandwich with pickled veggies was also excellent. Plus, we had a lovely view of the lake from our table upstairs. The staff was fun and attentive, making it a truly great lunch. We're definitely planning to return! read more

Pizza was 5 stars and so delicious! Reminds me of pizza from Portland and it's like a west coast style pizza. We sat on the patio after a brief wait. Service felt very on par for gen z, but whatever. We got what we needed and had a solid meal. I appreciated some of the eclectic toppings they had like an arugula pesto base, corn, and some other fresh items. My husband enjoyed the mortadella as more of a traditional topping. Definitely worth checking out!! Some of the best pizza I've had in awhile! read more

Tahoe has a food culture that is more casual and my partner and I didn't find too many memorable dining experiences, but we decided to take a trip out to King's Beach and fell in love with Whitecaps Pizza so much that we visited them two days in a row! The restaurant had a beautiful outdoor patio with an amazing view! The pizzas were tasty and had a nice crisp to them. My partner doesn't really even enjoy eating pizzas and it was her idea to go back the second time! The Brussels sprouts were caramelized perfectly. And the various mac n cheese options have so much flavor. Definitely worth checking out when in town! read more

We always like to have a meal here. The view is nice and the pizza is piping hot and crispy from the hot oven. This time two of us ordered a small Cesar salad and a small Meat Lovers pizza with mushrooms added. It was a perfect hot meal for a cold day. Their parking lot had a limited number of spaces. In the past we didn't have an issue getting a spot, but since the lot was full today we easily found street parking down the street. If you have time after. You can walk to the beach just east of the restaurant for a nice view of Lake Tahoe from the sand. read more
