We loved the ribs!
Dave M.

First, let me declare a bias, I eat here once a month as part of our Shriners group for our monthly meeting. I have been coming to D.boni's for a couple of years now, and find both the dine in and take home food to be good. It never fails to be served on time or ready when ordered for pick up. The quality is always well done, the meats spot on, the pastas flavorful and properly cooked, and the sauces savory. D'boni's is the kind of family run place you want to support, you will get good personal service done by caring friendly people. Update: my wife and I recently tried their ribs for the first time. We loved both the dry rub and the slathered in sauce. Definitely worth the 30 min drive from our home. Read less

Small cheese, fries, 2 medium with many different toppings.

D'boni's is a local legend in Escalon, and for good reason. I've been going for the last 15 years, and it continues to have the perfect atmosphere, the pizza is 10/10, and the employees are always friendly, welcoming, and polite. Pizza: Hands down, I have never had better pizza. It doesn't compare to the traditional types of pizza, but it's the best I've ever had. Going inward from the rim, it's crispy/cracker like, chewy with crispy under layer, and then a soft middle. The dough gets very hydrated by the sauce, and it leaves a wonderful soft texture in your mouth. The dough itself is a specific experience at D'boni's, I almost want to call it California tavern, or just a thicker old-school west coast take on NY hand tossed, with a lower hydration dough. I'm no pizza expert though . The amount of sauce and cheese is perfect, and as a whole, it never feels dry in your mouth (personal least favorite thing is dry pizza) Experience: The salad bar has good options, and the calzones are just as good as the pizza. I have yet to try a burger here. The employees are ALWAYS friendly and polite, ever since the first time I stepped inside. It's a wonderful atmosphere for families and children, their arcade games are entertaining, although dated, but it fits the theme of the pizzeria and I don't think anyone is complaining, especially being a small town business. Yes, you can win at the claw machine, I've done it before. Notes: - Even as an adult you will see me creepily in the arcade area. - Not sure if manzanita sol is still on the soda fountain, but it should be because their fountain manzanita sol is the best, especially paired with pizza. - I want them to sell merchandise online!!!!! The pizza has remained the same throughout all of my visitations and never disappoints, same with the friendly demeanor of employees. I live in Texas, and I frequently mention how much I want to return. My girlfriend who doesn't like pizza says the same thing, and agrees it's the best pizza experience she's ever had. D'bonis is a heartful and personal place to a lot of people, and just thinking of the atmosphere and pizza makes me smile.

Was very excited to give D'boni's Pizza a try. It's a small town that's been around since the 80s with years of league team photos adorning the walls. There's in a small arcade room that appears to have been there since before computers, along with a scattering of other games to keep the children entertained. Located in a small strip mall with foodie options in an equally small town. I feel like a pizza snob by saying this isn't my type of pizza. The crust had a crunchy cracker taste with no hint of yeast, and the sauce was on the sweet side which equals m'eh to me. I prefer a charred chewy yeast tasting dough. Order from the counter as you walk in and you're given a number. Staff is friendly and accommodating with my special requests. For presentation, this is a 5 star pizza with noticeable attention to detail. The toppings were in abundance and not just scattered but nicely placed on the pie, covering the entire pie. Not leaving a huge crust area was helpful with ordering a medium pizza because large is not available. I would go as far to say this is the best looking pizza. Size options are mini, small, medium & X large. Hubbs and I barely ate half a medium pie. For the babes we ordered a small cheese sticks made with the pizza dough. You can really taste the cracker taste with the cheese bread. The pizzas appear to have been cooked in a conveyor oven that is heated from the bottom because the crust is very crispy on the bottom, but the top is still a little on the doughy side and the cheese doesn't have that bubbled cooked goodness. This is a good local pizza parlor but I wouldn't go out of my way. If you're out for a drive in the country this a solid pizza place that's good for a large group and families. You know you're in the country because as we were leaving, we were hit with a strong aroma of cows!

Popi's pizza, this place makes the best pizza in CA. I've traveled all over the state and this is the best

Best pizza in CA, I've traveled all over CA and no one does it better than D'boni's We currently live in Roseville but will be making regular trips here when we crave Pizza

Fries and pizza delicious!

This place was our first stop on our way to Pinecrest and it's definitely a win! Food is amazing! Even have gluten free options for my wife! Arcade games are such a plus for the kids! Super friendly and great customer service!! 5 stars!!

My X-Large pizza was soooooo doughy today.  Not even tasty today. I bought half meat and half garlic chicken.

Tahoe Pizza did not disappoint, the pizza was scrumptious, cooked to perfection. The flavors were spot on! The Italian sausage was made with beef and not pork which was a yummy surprise! Because the prices are sooooooo reasonable, we had to keep adding on just to use the $50 coupon. Besides the large pizza, we were able to get 18 delicious wings, extra crispy with 3 different flavors. We went with garlic parm, bbq and buffalo, just perfect. If that wasn't enough, we got a dozen piping hot potato wedges! We bought 2 sodas also. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was even better if that's possible. The young man, Mark, was attentive, genuine and super friendly. He made the experience twice as nice. It's the kind of service that unfortunately has become hard to come by. It was quite the treat. So next time you're looking for fantastic pizza and more, consider Tahoe Pizza. It looks to be family owned and they deserve a huge shout out for putting their very best out there. They've only been open a couple months, so give them a try. You will not be disappointed!!

Because we had our dog with us, we waited outside and when the order was ready, the gentleman brought it out to us. We didn't order a whole lot. we had seen Happy Garden on Yelp, and it sounded intriguing. We felt that we needed to stop by for a sample even though we had already had a great lunch in Oakdale. We ordered: California Roll - 5 - I would appreciate some julienned cucumbers but many sushi-ya's no longer put those in. They add a bit of texture and flavor. Spicy Tuna Roll - 5 - Just the right amount of heat. The rice was good. I'm not sure that it was seasoned but there was enough flavor in the Tuna. Inari - 5 - A very simple dish. Sushi rice stuffed into tofu skins that have been cooked in a seasoning liquid. I wish places would offer Inari stuffed with rice, green peas, slivered egg and bamboo shoots. Of course they would charge more but that's okay. Egg Rolls - 5 - Mostly stuffed with Cabbage and Carrots. These are delicious after they've cooled down from the fryer. I could eat these everyday. The inside of the restaurant was spacious and clean. If we didn't have the Princess with us, we would have eaten in.
