    Minestrone soup
    Hope L.

    THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PIZZA PLACES EVER! We came here after finding it on Yelp and I'm so happy we did! The servers were super nice and attentive to us and the food was amazing! We got the Andre Special (pesto, chicken, grilled onions, bacon, mushrooms, and mozzarella) and the minestrone soup. We really wanted to try the clam chowder but they were unfortunately sold out. First off, the bread was amazing! It melted in your mouth and is handmade with a thick crust and a gooey inside. The Minestrone soup wasn't thick at all and was jam packed with noodles and vegetables. The Andre Special was by far my favorite pizza as the ingredients blended together so well and they use the same dough as their bread. The crust was perfectly chewy and the pizza tasted fresh. I ate the pizza for leftovers 2 days later and it still tasted as amazing heated up as it did the day we got it! I would highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!

    Mini thick pizza is plenty for 2

    So glad we passed up the tourist spots and found this local favorite in a strip mall. We arrived 745 (just before closing) and the place was packed with families. Wait staff super friendly since we couldn't decide hubby got the lasagna and I got the mini thick pizza. Lasagna came with cup of soup- it was full of veggies but it wasn't our favorite. The lasagna is proportioned house made... and reheated. Unfortunately the sauce which is added during assembly is hot but the inside of the lasagna was cold. We really liked the sauce for dipping. The mini thick crust pizza is more than enough for two adults. We loved the crispy bottom of the crust and soooo much cheese without having to "go heavy" on cheese. Given the other things we ate we could not finish the mini pizza. There is a bit of debate - hubby said it was too much crust for him - I liked dipping the crust in the extra lasagna sauce lol The server said that if you order regular crust with more than 2 toppings it can't hold up. We saw this amazing salad come out with what looked like salami on it. Next time we are in town we are getting a mini pizza and that salad.

    D'Aurelio's is a must-go to place when I'm in Fort Bragg. It's only open for dinner though and set back behind the main drag. Never-the-less it is a popular place because their food is outstanding. Everything is homemade and delicious. The portions are generous. I got a mini pizza, thick crust, marinara sauce, cheese and sausage, mushroom and bell pepper. After one piece, I was full.

    The food is ok. Not the best pizza/ Italian food out there. We ordered a couple of pizzas, spaghetti with meat sauce, salad, and eggplant parm. As our order got to the table, the spaghetti and meat sauce order was cold (meat sauce) and noodles very lukewarm, the pizza wasn't great, and the eggplant parm was piping hot at the top but the rest was a very lukewarm. It's not bad... food mediocre. I was definitely expecting better from reading previous reviews. Service was good. The waitresses were nice and took orders quickly. Ambiance fine as well.

    This is a sweet, intimate, family owned Italian restaurant. You can tell everything is authentic in each and every one of their dishes. Even their bread is homemade and it was the best bread I have had in a restaurant. The first time we came here (6 years ago) we tried their pizza. The pizza is fun to order because you get to choose how much sauce and cheese you want. They have an extensive list of toppings and everything tastes so fresh. Pizza is definitely 5 stars! This time, we both ordered pasta dishes. I ordered their pesto and mine was so fresh tasting and the flavors were well balanced. My wife ordered chicken alfredo and it was the cheesiest, tastiest alfredo I've ever had. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the chicken was quite dry and I could only eat a couple pieces of it before I gave up on it. But overall, I would recommend this place and we will be coming here again next time we visit the Mendocino area.

    The BEST pizza, honestly! We chose to eat here based on Yelp reviews because we were in the mood for pizza. We weren't expecting much because how unique can pizza really be? Parking was in a strip mall, and it was easy to find (you'll find a few groups of people waiting outside to get seated). The interior of the restaurant is modest and quaint. After about 15-20 minutes, we were seated in a booth. We ordered the lasagna and a small pizza for 2 of us. We honestly could have gone with the mini because they come out a lot bigger than you expect them to. The lasagna was solid - filling and delicious. Not the best lasagna we've ever had but it was delicious and comforting. For the small pizza, we got the Andre special on a thin crust (I like that you have an option to choose thin or thick crust). I'm glad we chose the thin because it was thick enough to complement the pizza but wasn't too thin like a cracker where it doesn't taste like pizza. The ingredients they use were generously and evenly spread through the whole pie and each bite had a nice crunch to the bottom crust with the ultimate cheese pull. Flavors meshed well together and I can easily say this is one of the best pizza's I've ever had! I appreciated their options for the pizzas - thin or thick crust, light, medium, or heavy cheese, and red, pesto, or alfredo sauce. I'd definitely stop by again if in the area. Oh, and the butter is UNDER the bread! We ate a few plain pieces hoping for butter before we discovered them at the bottom of the basket, haha.

    We got so sick, we thought we were going to die !. Me and wife went to emergency room after eating here. And as for the service , what service ?. Inattentive and rude. Filthy bathroom !!!, so bad I couldn't even use it !. And it felt like we were eating in a Mexican restaurant , as they were the only employees there. Definitely were not any Italians working there, they all spoke Spanish . What a sham of a restaurant . HORRIBLE FOOD NOT FIT FOR DOGS LET ALONE HUMANS.

    We haven't been here in 5 years and it was exactly what I remembered, DELICIOUS! We ordered the full size lasagna,meatball sub and margherita pizza. The house salad with the house italian was really good too! Great service and was quickly seated. From our booth we were able to watch the cooks make the food. It looked like sauces were made to order. Everything tasted homemade. This will be another go to spot anytime we visit Fort Bragg.

    My family and I came in on Valentine's Day and had a wonderful dinner, the food was delicious and the wait staff was friendly. The place had a very family friendly atmosphere I will definitely be returning. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that they got my sons order wrong, they gave us linguini instead of penne pasta. My son is a year old and I had to chop up the pasta for him, this was little more than a minor inconvenience in an otherwise fantastic meal and experience I hope my next visit is even better.

    Great find for a last minute dinner. And you must go home with a loaf of homemade bread.

    My best friend and I were in town for a girls weekend and just looking for somewhere nearby to grab…read morea quick bite. There weren't a ton of options, so we landed on Bear's Pizza and figured we'd give it a shot. Honestly... I wish we would've kept looking. Ambiance: 2/10 I get that it's in an older town, but the place just felt kind of run down and not very inviting. Nothing about it made you want to sit and relax or enjoy your food. Service: 0/10 This was the worst part by far. No one greeted us when we walked in, and we even stood at the counter for a bit before having to ask if we could order. No friendliness, no basic customer service, just very cold and awkward. We both got the salad bar, and my friend also ordered garlic bread. We were already halfway through our salads when I went up to ask about it. The way they handled it was honestly wild. The woman at the counter and the guy by the oven just looked at each other like they completely forgot. Which, okay, mistakes happen. But there was zero apology or ownership. Instead, they started arguing with each other about whose fault it was while I was just standing there. Didn't acknowledge me again until they opened the oven and found the bread almost burnt. Then they offered to just scrape off the burnt part like that somehow made it better. My friend likes her bread a little crispier so she ended up taking it, but the whole situation was just uncomfortable and unprofessional. Food: 5/10 The salad bar actually had a decent variety, so I'll give them that. It was fine. The garlic bread was just okay. Overall this place left a bad taste in my mouth. Definitely would not recommend.

    I stopped by into Bear's Pizza & More while spending a few nights in Fort Bragg to visit glass…read morebeach, and honestly, it ended up being one of the highlights of my visit. The place has a laid-back, hometown vibe--nothing fancy, just warm, busy, and welcoming. You can tell a lot of locals come here, which is always a good sign. I tried the chicken pesto pizza, and it really hit the spot. Plenty of flavor, good balance, and you can tell they don't skimp on ingredients. I also appreciated the salad bar--fresh, simple, and a nice touch considering how many places don't offer one anymore. It made for a great combo without feeling too heavy. It does get busy, especially around dinner time, so expect a little wait, but the staff kept things moving and stayed friendly even when the place was packed. Had to ask if we could sit in the "do not sit past this sign" area as the place was packed and needed somewhere to sit. All in all, Bear's is a solid pick for a casual meal in town. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Fort Bragg.

He knows I like cherryand just learned this year that I like chocolate. and that's how he chose this flavor. I tried some and it was so good. I loved the pieces.

Across from the Sea Glass Museum. Parking is all street parking. We found a spot right I. Spot. Street parking is free, but there is a two hour limited. So, if you're spending additional time downtown you'll have to move your car. The shop is new and clean.
