    American River Pizza and Grill- Cool, California
    Walter B.

    Walt from Walt's Adventures here and I'm in Cool, California. It's a small town with a serious restaurant... the American River Pizza and Grill. We ordered Fish-N-Chips, Chicken Nuggets and the Troublemaker sandwich ( not pictured). As seen in the pictures, we got our meal to go. Let me tell you that the quality of the food, unlike some restaurants, did not diminish for our meals tasted great! The Fish was cooked perfectly as to not to be raw nor overcooked, the Cole Slaw was very good and the Nuggets was a good meal. They did look like frozen nuggets but didn't taste as such. The Troublemaker was a very good but very messy sandwich. It was its namesake but a good sandwich. When passing by some of these small towns, remember that they may be small but it's soul may very Cool.

    Traveling the backroads found a clean family restaurant with tasty pizza. Had Conscience pizza full of generous variety of meats. Service was excellent and we will be back to try their hamburgers.

    Food not the quality it used to be. Covid took out the salad bar which was excellent. Wonderful owners who seem to be struggling.

    We've been coming to Old Town Pizza in Auburn every Wednesday night for trivia for quite some time…read morenow, and this review is definitely overdue. Every single week, the staff is incredibly friendly and on top of everything. Service is always quick, even when it's busy, and they consistently make the experience feel easy and welcoming. Trivia night is such a highlight for us. It's genuinely fun, well-run, and something we look forward to all week. David and Asia are amazing hosts. They keep the energy up, make it engaging, and you can tell they really care about creating a great experience. One thing that really stood out to me was how responsive management is. I mentioned that the changing table in the women's restroom was broken, and by the time we came back the following week, it had already been replaced. That level of follow-through is rare and really appreciated. We actually drive in from Wheatland every week just to come here, which probably says it all. We love this place and plan to keep coming back.

    This is for a delivery order to Two Ass Brewing Company (lol), which lets you order in Old Town…read morePizza. The pizza was really solid (and I say this coming from Oakland / SF, which have really great pizza). Good crust, tasty toppings. We got a Lean Green Pesto Flatbread (minus the chicken), Reset Veggie Flatbread, Pickle Flatbread, spinach salad, and green salad. The Pickle Flatbread was a bit sweeter than I'd like, but tasty with beer. Everything else was great. Spinach salad was solid, green salad was eh but did the job of balancing out all the pizza.

    Heading towards Nevada city right off East 80. I found this really local gem alongside the freeway…read more We took a chance as I didn't look at the reviews before landing here. We just looked around and decided "we're gonna eat here." I was really impressed with how clean the facility was and how inviting it felt. We ordered the amazing combo pizza extra large and it fed our family of six, along with an order of buffalo chicken, wings, and mozzarella sticks. Staff was really nice and we received our order in reasonable time.

    This was hands down one of the worst pizzas I've had in a long time…read more I ordered salami, red onion, and fresh tomato. What I got looked like somebody just slapped dough together, smeared the bare minimum of sauce on it, threw on a couple scraps of onion, and called it a pizza. Most of it had no cheese, no sauce -- just dry, slightly burnt dough and crust. (See pictures) The "fresh tomatoes" were even worse. By the time I got home, they had fallen right off the pizza. Last time I checked, you're supposed to be able to pick up a slice of pizza. If they were to actually chopped the tomatoes so they'd stick to the tiny amount of cheese on the pizza, at least I could have enjoyed a little tomato with my pizza. To top it off, there were toppings I never even ordered and some things, I don't even know what they were, including black olives, which I can't stand. That just shows how little attention or care goes into making these pizzas. Honestly, it feels like whoever is running this kitchen or making the pizzas has zero pride in what they're serving. I'm obviously not the first person that is pointed out large amount of no topping on the edges of the pizza come on guys you can do better than this.
