This place is amazing and Nevada County needed it so much! The atmosphere is wonderful, it easily accommodates large groups, and we haven't had a bad meal. My family loves it! I'm gluten free I love the gf crust they use and the meatballs are wonderful. The sides are elevated and tasty and the honest ice cream is wonderful. The staff seems friendly and happy to be there. It's awesome to go to a place where the vibes are high and the quality matches. read more

This place is so good. Really loud + busy on a Saturday night. The hostess was yelling a bit aggressively but got the work done! The bartenders are knowledgeable and kind. I got the honey pizza (don't remember the exact name) and the sparkling rose lemonade. This pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. So good. read more

Best pizza ever! The cauliflower appetizer appetizers is incredible. Can't wait to come back!

Delicious pizza and drinks in a nice modern setting. Try the ice cream they make in house too. Perfect for a date night dinner or grabbing a pizza with friends. read more

Bicycle Thief - Pizza Near Me - Grass Valley, California

We are beyond fortunate to have this gem of a dining experience in Grass Valley. I've stopped in 4-5 times now and have enjoyed the experience every time. Solid service. They serve one of my favorite Italian beers, Manabrea, in the bottle at a very affordable price. Appetizers are ALL very good. The Bee Thousand pizza is so good that it keeps me from exploring their other fare since I KNOW it's going to be amazing. Best crust on the west coast! There, I said it. If you're lucky, you'll get seated in the miller high life nook. You'll understand if and when you do... read more

Advertising online as being open until 10pm but went through the process of ordering online at 9:20pm just to be told after creating an order 3 minutes later that online orders aren't available. Went to look for a phone number but there isn't one. I had heard mixed reviews but some of the menu items I heard good things about had me eager to try them. Ended up with a distaste from misleading hours being advertised and being kicked out of online ordering over 30 minutes before they supposedly close. The only phone number found online was (555) 555-5555. Maybe just communicate your hours for food, beverage, or take-out separately. read more

Notn our average pizza joint. Elevated yet still casual dining. Tons of creativity in the dishes, its a great dinner out.

Excellent, all around. Definitely my favorite place for pizza and a good Caesar in this area. I did take off a star because it is so annoying that they do not have an email address or a phone number to call to ask a simple question. It seems a little ridiculous to not have easy communication available. We had made a reservation online, and showed up for it, only to find out that they didn't get the reservation. I had an email and a screenshot of it. We also saw a party of 10, who had also made an online reservation, whose reservation also didn't record. Note to owners: Being able to call to confirm a reservation would be excellent!! Technology fails too often : / read more

Loved loved everything about it! Thank you for bringing to our community my favorite best place to eat! Your menu is perfect and food is so yummy delicious. The service staff were so helpful, cordial and taking the time to check on us throughout our meal! And looking around it's a very happy place ... ambiance we found was great. read more

Unbelievable that this gem is here in GV! This is our go to for pizza. The place is great, the service is attentive and professional, and the food is amazing. Bicycle thief is firing on all cylinders, thank you, and see you soon! read more

Food is amazing and always ready on time. I first thought the price was high but the pizzas are large and ddeliscious.

A cool restaurant with a name inspired by a cool movie, Bicycle Thief really stole my heart (sorry, I had to do it). I had the pleasure of eating too much delicious pizza last month including Delfina and Outta Sight (which is getting tons of hype) in SF, but the pizza that I just can't get out of my mind is the Hale Kale from Bicycle Thief. It doesn't hurt that the restaurant's ambience is also fun and inviting, and the portions are very generous. I normally think of Neapolitan style pizzas as being a bit smaller, but I'm not complaining. And I love that their menu is divided into white and red pies like Delfina. While I wish they offered a slightly more exciting veggie red pie option, I can't wait to try the Brooklyn and Nantes Carrots next time. read more

Mixed review... First, Bicycle Thief features the most imaginative veggie dishes in the county. E.g., Nantes carrots in a hummus sauce, smoked cabbage. Pizza is very good, but a couple of other places in Nevada County offer better, and more exotic pizzas. Service is friendly and thorough. The physical ambience is high-class, with fine wood slab tables and plenty of wall art. But it is NOISY. The conversational din and recorded music were so intrusive as to inhibit conversation. We asked our accommodating server to please turn the music down. She did. Twice. But still, most of what we said to each other was, "What?" Despite the food's outstanding quality, the noise interfered with our evening so much that we probably won't return. read more

Delicious pizza! They were a bit understaffed on a Sunday, but they were hustling and did their best.

Food is amazing! Ambiance is awesome! Service is first rate! Now I do not have to travel to San Francisco for a great pizza!

Not sure why the high rating. The cheesy bread was far better then the pizza. For reason they will sit you with people you don't know and then you have to ask for everything that should be on the table. Was disappointed read more

The pizza is super tasty and the service was fast and accommodating/friendly. Good addition to GV.

Thad and Wes made pizza for us in Merced. Favorites on this menu are Bee Thousand and Brooklyn. Hopefully he has a special of the Bandito pizza with dates. These guys are amazing. You are very lucky to have this in Grass Valley. I need to head up there soon. We miss you guys in Merced! read more

I loved the cleanliness and lightness of this place. Our waitress was fantastic. We had a lemon and pistachio pizza and a very delicious and unusual cabbage appetizer. I would recommend it. The food was creatively presented and was brought to us quickly. Our pizza was over cooked and a bit dry tho. - Will give it another try for all of the other reasons mentioned. read more

Great food. Nice ambiance. Friendly service. Couldn't really ask for much more, honestly.

Wow! What a great addition to our little town. Amazing food served by friendly people in a fun relaxed environment. Looks like we will be regulars. read more

Maybe more options for toppings, more meats, tomatoes, possibly and maybe a little more toppings on your pizza. Mediocre at best.

If you haven't tried it yet get down here as quickly as you can, Bicycle Thief in Grass Valley. (Used to be Frank's Pizza) Seriously one of the best pizzas I've ever had in town. We started out with the Nantes Carrots, yogurt, carrot top, and marjoram pesto with hazelnuts. Then we moved to a special Capresse salad with fresh peaches. And finally an incredible pizza called The Phoenix; pistachio, red onion, lemon, and rosemary, seriously everything was delicious!! read more

See all

Great restaurant. The pizza was quite good and it was nice to see some items on the menu that you don't normally find around town. The decor is nice and I appreciate that they spent some money to do it right as opposed to moving in to a past restaurant location and putting some new paint on the walls and opening. The service was also prompt and good. read more

Very good pizza and service! They have a variety of white and red sauce options. In addition there are a few salad and small bite options. The food comes out quickly. We are glad they're doing well. But the ambience offsets the culinary positives. It was crowded and extremely noisy on an early Thursday evening. We had to yell at each other and our server. If we stumble on a more quiet time there we will give it another shot. read more

Great food. It was busy, which was great to see. The pizza is YUMMY! Our server Bo was knowledgeable and efficient. Knew a lot about the wines...mostly Italian. So good! Yay! read more

I love having this place so close to home. Staff is always very friendly. Pizza is great! I always love seeing new additions! You always just gotta treat yourself to the homemade ice cream or sorbet. read more

Not your usual pizza place. Eating here is an adventure that will have you wanting more. The pizza is top notch with many good selections of toppings and excellent crust, We started our meal with harissa roasted cauliflower. You'll have to taste it to believe how delicious it is. And the homemade ice cream is great. We had vanilla lemon. The service is great and the atmosphere very comfortable. read more

Amazing pizza and stellar service. So happy to have a spot like this in GV. They fill a need for a nice, hip place with great food that isn't too expensive. Will definitely be back! read more

Pizza is light, chewy and crunchy, with delicious toppings. But who knew a pizza place could be so good at vegetable forward dishes? And small plates? Amazing flavors. Great service. If I could knock off half a star for the noisy music, I would, but otherwise this is an excellent addition to western Nevada County's dining. read more

Fast friendly service, clean restaurant and restroom. Great food, reasonable prices and nice ambience.

Ordered take out... pizza was good, gluten free meatballs were the best! Salad was excellent. Looks like a nice place to dine in. Staff is attentive (and plentiful) and the vibe is positive! I'll be ordering again and dining in as well. read more

We had a fantastic experience. Starting with our waiter...super friendly with an amazing memory as he rattled off the specials with such details we thought perhaps he was the chef. Needless to say the specials sounded too good to pass up (the couple next to us, apparently with the same experience indicating we were in for some serious yumminess). Salad and Pizza was so delicious. Would have to agree perhaps some of the best pizza in Grass Valley. A must try. And a shout out for the decor and music...super cool. We will be regulars for sure! read more

If your from the Northeast or appreciate pizza from that part of the country this is the place. Absolutely delicious. The service was amazing and the vibe perfect. One of the best restaurants in Grass Valley, hands down! read more

We had a few appetizers, a couple of pizzas and some ice cream. All of it was amazing. Really enjoyed the staff, too. I highly recommend!

First I'd like start out but saying the name really turned me off. There is kinda a story behind it. The owner's favorite movie... Anyway the cheese bread was absolutely amazing and I might be back just for that, maybe, even though it was $16 and it's not what we ordered lol. We ordered the bread e bites but got cheese bread. An $11 dollar difference in price. But eh everyone makes mistakes. It would have been better if our server didn't confirm it was bread e bites knowing it wasn't after it was served to our table and I asked her if it was bread e bites. Maybe she is still learning the food? Or maybe she just lied. Either way it was so yummy. The meatballs were reasonable in price at $13 for 5 or 6 I believe and very good tasting. My favorite was the sauce. Im very picky about sauce and theirs is really really good. The ginger beer was also wonderful (Fentimans) probably the best Ive ever had. Full of flavor and not too sweet. The pizza got was basically a margarita type and I think over priced and just ok. A little underwhelming. One suggestion I would like to make is have a male and female bathroom. Not sure what wc (on the bathroom doors) means but clearly the 2 bathrooms they have are both genders. If thats the way you're gonna go at least provide seat covers as men in public bathrooms often pee on the seat. It's really annoying to go to a restaurant who does the both gender bathroom thing. Also, no changing station in bathroom and music not kid friendly so I say not really a great family place. We were taken care of by multiple people and I appreciate that. I give 4 stars because the cheese bread and sauce were very tasty. It would have been 3 otherwise. A bit pricey. $65 for 2 adults and a child. Might be back. read more

I ate here on a Saturday night with a friend. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table, but we waited at the bar and could have just eaten there if we had wanted to. We ordered one starter (the cabbage), one salad (the radicchio one), and one pizza (the slightly fancier version of the margarita), and everything was delicious with high quality ingredients. And I am an east coast pizza snob! The service and ambiance were also wonderful. What a great addition to downtown Grass Valley! read more

Food and atmosphere are both great. I really love the pizza. Definitely a great addition to downtown Grass Valley. The service was great even though the place was busy. read more

I've been here probably 10 times now so that should tell you all you need to know. I'm a former Brooklynite (ugh, right) and this is my favorite pizza in GV/NC - plus the ambiance makes it a place you actually want to go out to - casual yet nice enough for date night or a fun dinner with friends. All of the food is delicious, truly, and don't skip the handmade ice cream. read more

Support local! This is a great place to bring the family or to even come on a date. Plenty of options to choose from without feeling overwhelmed. The food tastes amazing (my kids even ate the pizza crust, that's how good it is) and the service is wonderful. read more
