I don't know if it was the food that was good or the day that made the food good. Went on a trip to moaning caverns that day. Went to Big Trees Park. Hung out at Murphy Park in the city of Murphy. While at Murphy's park, a red nose pit comes up to me and licks my face like he's known me for years and the crazy thing is he looked exactly like my dog Chilo who passed in 2004. On our way back home, while on the freeway, I seen a big building in the distance, kinda reminded me of back to the future town so I decided we should go check it out. To our surprise, there was a mini concert going on and hundreds of people were there. It was nice. My little ones started dancing. We got hungry. We went to Gold Dust pizza. The place is nice. The service there was awesome. The cheese pizza was great. So maybe I'm giving 5 stars because we ended our day at Gold Dust which was the cherry after an awesome day, but they do have some good food. And that day was freakin awesome read more

What a fun atmosphere Gold Dust Pizza has! The chairs are big and comfortable. They offer a great lunch special including a slice of pepperoni pizza and a drink, or calzone and drink. We opted to share a specialty pizza however and loved that they would do half and half (we just added pepperoni to one side). The crust was bubbly and tender with a great pull and the tomatoes were SO fresh. Overall a very good pizza. The guy at the counter was really friendly and patiently answered our questions. We will be back! read more

We are from Lodi, but we're driving through Copperopolis and stopped to grab a slice of pizza. We have a handful of good pizza shops where we are from, but this was hands-down the best we've ever had. The place has a really cool old Miner feel to it and the service was super quick.. best part was how much they load your pizza up with toppings. You will not be disappointed. read more

Wow!! My toddler and I stopped here by chance on our way into Yosemite, and boy we were so happy we did. We ordered the Miner Moe's pizza and it was delicious. The crust was super crispy on the edges and tender with a nice bite, and the chicken/bacon/BBQ sauce combo was bomb. We got a small and still had a ton to takeaway, which we ate for lunch on our first day camping. The ranch for dipping also tasted very fresh - I assume it was made in house! The service was also unexpectedly great. My toddler is super rambunctious and the server Savannah made sure I felt comfortable letting him run around being his crazy self. The bartender Adrian was awesome and made a kickass Cadillac margarita. He provided the type of genuine service that makes you feel special and well taken care of! The quality of food and service is the type that keeps you coming back. The ambiance is also perfect, with comfy high-end indoor seating and a cute outdoor patio too. This place was so great, we made sure to hit it for dinner on our way back home after a long weekend. This will for sure be our new spot we stop on our way to Yosemite in the future! read more

All I gotta say this place rocks. Our waitress was cool as hell. The bartender was cool and after being stranded in a cabin in the snow with no electricity for five days with only a wood stove to keep us warm, this was the first hot meal my family got to enjoy and it truly was some fire ass pizza. Thank you again. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere, nice surprise on my trip to Yosemite. Pizza was delicious.

Food is ok, kinda greasy pizza. My daughter loves the raviolis but they are not in house made. The service was pleasant and the ambiance is themed and fits well with the community. There's the rub though. As someone who lives in the community this establishment is not focused on serving the community. They have odd hours and are moderately geared towards tourists, which would be fine, but who closed a pizza joint at 8pm on a weekend? Who doesn't modify their hours during community events to support the influx of people? I watched over a dozen people leave or sit and wait at the last car show because they didn't open until noon on Saturday. Makes you wonder their business practices and how they afford to stay in business. read more

Great pizza , wonderful ambiance. Also love Sutter Creeks location. Highly recommend you visit one of their locations if you haven't! read more

My wife and I really enjoyed this place. We came on a Tuesday and sat at the bar. The World Series was on as our entertainment. We ordered a salad and a large veggie pizza with chicken. The salad was actually very good. The salads are premade and come in a to go container. It was not easy to eat, but very good. It is a decent size for the price. The dressing is out of a small packet, but still tasted good. My wife had a margarita and really enjoyed it. My beer was a local selection and very nice. The pizza was fantastic. Tons of ingredients and delicious sauce. Lots of cheese and great dough. They were doing an insane amount of to go orders. The restaurant was clean and if I lived closer I would be back many times. My only gripe was the service. She was very nice and we had a great conversation. But she was so busy prepping to go orders I never had a chance to get a second drink before the pizza arrived. You should absolutely give them a try. The pizza is delicious read more

Super friendly, fast service whether take-out, dining room or patio consistently delivers most generous toppings and delicious pizza anywhere.

You have to try the pizza! The crust is a masterpiece: it's thick, yet somehow manages to be perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining wonderfully doughy and delicious on the inside. Beyond the pizza, their sandwiches are also absolutely delectable. Everything is a winner here! read more

You know, I used to praise the kids at Gold Dust for making a great pizza. But, today may 3, the day of the car show we were grossly disappointed. We ordered a giant (we were very hungry) 1/2 Gold Dust and half barbecue chicken. That pizza was so soggy that when you picked up a slice everything fell off. Too much cheese, bacon and other toppings made it soggy. Like I said we were hungry so we ate it. Especially since we waited for over an hour. Like usual they're never adequately staffed for big events. read more

This place is damn good! On the way to Yosemite from Sacramento we needed food! This pizza place is counter service, do be aware. Table service is limited or not really a thing and that's fine! We just weren't aware. This is the cheesiest pizza I've ever had! Everything hit the spot! This is a great pit stop on the drive for sure! read more

Delicious! On our way to camping, we stopped by for lunch since my friend had to charge his Tesla (they gave super charging stations). The small town/ plaza area was kept very clean, too clean that the town itself sort of looks staged! We ordered the following items to share: + Buffalo chicken wings + Mango haberno chicken wings + Chicken Caesar salad + White chicken delight/ the digger pizza Their pizza was SO GOOD! I normally don't care for chicken in my pizza but the white chicken delight was my favorite slice. Their chicken was juicy and the pizza was loaded was cheese and artichoke. I wished I took a video of the incredible cheese pull! My favorite part of the pizza was the crust! It was crispy, slightly thin and still held its shape when I picked it up. The chicken wings were good, it didn't taste frozen and then fried like the other pizza joints. The caesar salad was good but they offer any croutons. To be frank, I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I would dine here often if I lived in the area. So if you was passing by, I would recommend trying this place. read more

How the mighty have fallen. Gold Dust Pizza in Copperopolis used to be a fantastic spot, but after last night's experience (11/29/24), I can confidently say I'll never spend my money there again. I arrived at 5:15 PM to meet a friend, and we chose to sit at the bar, hoping for quicker service. Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened. We sat for over 20 minutes, watching a steady stream of customers walk in and get helped before us. Eventually, our order was taken--a Gold Dust Combo pizza and wings. After 30 minutes, the wings finally arrived, and the pizza didn't come out for another 45 minutes. While the food itself was decent, the wait times were completely unreasonable. Honestly, I could make wings and pizza faster in my home kitchen. I overheard that the kitchen staff were feeling stressed, but it didn't seem any busier than a typical Friday night. Speaking with a few locals in the restaurant, I learned that others were experiencing the same poor service. One gentleman was even told his pizza had been lost and would need to be remade. Frustrated, he left without waiting another hour for a replacement. To make matters worse, my friend had to leave immediately after eating because his stomach began to churn--he was sure he was going to get diarrhea. After he left, I stayed to settle the bill, only to be ignored for another 30 minutes. I waved, tried to make eye contact, and even called out to staff, but no one acknowledged me. Finally, I loudly asked the manager for my credit card so I could leave. He seemed irritated that I interrupted his personal conversation with some friends who had shown up. Gold Dust Pizza has clearly gone downhill, run by staff who seem indifferent and unprofessional. I will NEVER return, and I can't stress enough how terrible the service is. What was once a great local spot is now a place to avoid. read more

First time visiting this location and of course they never disappoint! We ordered the eureka deal which includes a giant size two topping pizza, breadsticks, and four drinks for $44. That's a steal compared to other pizza places! Excellent service as well. I didn't get her name but the woman who took our order was very welcoming and friendly. I love the nostalgic feeling at all locations. They also have outdoor seating. read more

Who doesn't like pizza? If that be you, stop reading now. Yum! Some serious good za in Copperopolis. Who knew? Four different pizzas for us. From sausage and pepperoni to chicken and artichoke to my veggie, everyone loved their food. Tons of toppings. delicious red sauce, fresh as heck mozzarella. Every one of each ingredient was not skimped on. The sauce is fresh and sweet, the crust is outstanding! I tend to judge a good pizza based a lot on the crust. This was very, very good. The smalls are big. The mediums are like large. We didn't dare venture down the "giant" size. read more

Ordered a meat pizza and a mushroom/pepperoni pizza. The mushroom pizza was the winner here and we dived into that one as it was delicious.

We have loved Gold Dust since they opened! We were back in the area for a business trip and just had to get some. It's nice to see things that haven't changed except for the better. Bread sticks are great and so is the premium pizzas . The Eureka special is a great price too. The customer service was superior! We would like to thank Krista, Savannah, and their manager (Jen) for their customer service and professionalism when we ran into issues with one of our orders. Thank you again! An absolute must try in Copper! read more

Very clean and welcoming dine in experience. The pizza was great but our server did forget to bring us our salad.

Lives up to the hype. I wish I could give a 4.5 because it's on the fence. I would say within a 50 mile radius , this is the benchmark of pizza. Music in the background kinda sucks and the beer selection is limited, but it's all good from there. The pizza was outstanding with a crispy crust. I built my own pizza which can run a fortune in some places, but not here. Adrian behind the counter is very personable and a great asset to this establishment. If you're passing by anywhere near the area, please stop and support this place which is a pizza oasis in a desert of food options. read more

This was the best pizza I have had in years! Loaded with toppings and amazing crust and sauce. I will stop here every time I pass through.

Excellent pizza, toppings are very fresh and extremely generous. Great customer service. A family favorite.

Our first time here and we will be back. Got 2 smalls, which could probably feed 3 people each. They put an unreal amount of toppings on them. Service was great. Staff was VERY friendly and helpful. Other things about the restaurant was the bathrooms were very clean. If management reads this, we went on Thursday July 17, 2025. Whoever was working that night was fantastic. read more

Is this even pizza? This is the type of restaurant that bought a "pizza-in-a-box" restaurant solution. Sauce was bland, cheese was tasteless. The salads are all prepackaged, and the added chicken was cold and nasty. Probably it all tastes better after several beers. read more
