I went with my boyfriend and ordered the hot honey pizza and garlic Parmesan wings. Everything about this place was delicious! I love the way the dough taste and the amount of pepperonis they put is amazing. Loved the taste of the wings. The only thing was that the restrooms were dirty when we went, but overall great experience and amazing staff! read more

Fire pizza every time I go. Keep loading these pies up and I'll be back for more. This time I got a half combo, no onions add olives and a meat pizza. Did not disappoint. Only thing they could improve on is having someone who's not a kid cashier. You can't ask any questions about the beers on tap because they know nothing. read more

Review #872 Posted on 4.16.25 We came to Gold Dust Pizza after my daughter's soccer game on Friday night the 11th. This spot has great reviews and they've got another location in Ripon too, so we decided to check it out. We arrived around 8:15 and got our order in. We got the Eureka Deal which is a giant 2 topping pizza, breadsticks, & 4 drinks. We also got a Large Digger pizza, and wings, plenty of food for 6 of us. We ended up taking home a good amount of leftovers. The pizza has a ton of toppings, they don't chince on the ingredients, that's a good sign of food spot that doesn't try to cut corners with servings to maximize profits. This place is pretty big, they have tons of booths, and other large tables for bigger parties too. Now I'm still giving it 4 stars...........but around 9:10 pm we were asked to leave/hurry up however you want to word it, as we were told they were closed for 10 minutes now. If I own this joint and an employee tells a guest of mine that just paid $150 bones & 20% tip that, I'd be livid. It's not like it was midnight or even 30-45-60 minutes beyond closing, it was 10 minutes. If I'm not going to be given enough time to eat my food, cool, don't let me order then. The food was so good and we were in a good mood after my kids team played great we let it go though. read more

For all the talk about generous toppings, I was disappointed. Despite paying $20+ for a small pizza, I was shocked that it was barely topped with anything - so much so that I forgot to take a pic. The crust and cheese were great, the sauce kinda bland. If you're paying a premium price, you expect a premium product - and this wasn't it. Oh well, there are other places in town that'll get my future business. Do better, Gold Dust. read more

I love this place. I stop in whenever traveling through. If the family is hungry or you're craving pizza, this is where you wanna stop. The crust is perfect, the ingredients are fresh and the staff is very nice. read more

Pizza quality is the best in the area. Love the crust and the service is amazing. Ambiance is great too but need to keep it clean during rush hours. I don't like seeing tables needing to be cleared when I am picking a place to sit. read more

Very Disappointed -- Poor Service and Disturbing Incident I'm usually patient, but our experience at Gold Dust Pizza Express was unacceptable. We ordered a specialty pizza and specifically requested olives and mushrooms on one half only; the pizza arrived with none of the requested toppings. When we brought this to the manager's attention, nothing was done to remedy it -- disappointing for a $60 order that was also overcooked. Worse, a distressing incident occurred during our visit. A friend's child who has a disability became upset. As our friend was quietly escorting her out to avoid a scene, staff called the police and falsely reported that we were being aggressive. There was no physical harm or abuse -- only an emotional episode -- yet police were involved, our 4‑year‑old was exposed to the situation, and the officers took everyone's IDs and asked for personal information. Staff also repeated inaccurate claims to management and police, saying that the teen said help me to staff which never happened and even the teen was like what which added to our humiliation in front of other diners. This was not just poor customer service -- it was a failure of judgment and compassion. We left feeling embarrassed and shaken. I hope the restaurant reviews its training and handling of sensitive situations, and offers an apology or appropriate resolution. read more

Hands down the best pizza in Oakdale! Ive been 3 times now w/my grand dude. I have had a nice experience and great service each time. Mathew is awesome & so personable making sure everything is to your liking. The newer gal that is a senior in high school (that also helps at a school prior to going to work at Gold Dust), Paige, is very sweet & always makes sure your order is correct and is very welcoming when we order. If you haven't tried this location... you need to go. I know they are owned by same owners as other locations, but, this one is better than Sutter Creek! I personally think it's the best pizza. The quality of cheese is top notch. And service is friendly. It's in a kind of obscure location. it's worth every penny. read more

Incredible pizza!! We had a pretty large group come in on a Sunday- at 1:00. (14 of us) They didn't even blink. Excellent service. Very clean inside. Everyone was so incredibly helpful. And the pizza was some of the best I've eaten. Great job! read more

This was our fist time at Gold Dust Pizza and the pizza was awesome. They don't skimp on the toppings and the crust was really good. The medium pizza was perfect for me and my wife and we had enough for both of us to have lunch the next day. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was great. The ambiance was good and it was really clean. read more

I definitely recommend Gold dust pizza Hands down best pizza breadsticks and wings everyone has got to try this spot or even the Truck was on point at the Smokey's concert read more

Totally the best pizza ever! I've reviewed many different pizza parlors but this one overrides all the others I've rated. Now, this is the place for pizza, no other. The first time we visited this place we noticed they didn't have a combination of all the meats and vegetables, so we ordered 1/2 Motherlode meat at 1/2 vegetarian, amazing. Now we understand why, if they had a combination with both all meat and vegetables, it would be too hard to eat as the toppings are huge. Check out picture. Also, the staff is friendly and courteous. They have a really good garden salad too, enough to share with 2-3 people. Good dressing as well. They have about 6-7 beers on tap. I can't say enough good things about this place. We live in Modesto and drive to Oakdale for pizza. Thank you for the best pizza around. read more

Definitely recommend getting the mozzarella cheese bread! I don't live in the area but I've stopped here twice after rafting with friends nearby and have had amazing experiences both times. The pizza is delicious, both times I've been here have been with a large group so I've tried pretty much every pizza on the menu and honestly even the cauliflower crust pizza is delicious. The service has always been top notch, staff is so friendly and helpful even with a large crowd. Bathrooms are clean which I appreciate coming from a city where that is not always a given. I highly recommend this place, we will definitely keep coming back whenever we're in town read more

Real 90s pizza hut vibes - too much cheese, very sweet sauce, toppings heaped on a soggy crust so the whole thing just falls apart when you pick it up. read more

Gold Dust is one of our favorite pizza places! If you haven't stopped by to try one of their pizzas, you definitely need to. They have excellent service & the best pizza! read more

Again....pizza not even in the oven at the time I was supposed to pick it up. This is the second time and I am posting bad reviews everywhere read more

I've been let down by this place quite a few times so now I'm feeling it's time for an honest review. Hopefully it will resonate with their staff and they can make some changes. This is the second time I've showed up after calling in an order and they've looked at me blankly and said that they never got it and they don't know where my order is. They asked me if I could stand around while they try and remake the order which is understandably the only thing that they can do, but this would be me waiting for about two hours for a pizza in total, that's wild. The staff is a bunch of young kids, so I understand that they're not great with dealing with conflict, but there was not a single apology or offering any type of service to make things right . I'm constantly being let down when I come here and twice I have come home empty handed after calling in a pizza and waiting 45 mins to pick it up just to be told it will be another 45 once I get there due to them losing my order. Not to mention their pizzas are so loaded with toppings that the dough is typically undercooked on the bottom, and the whole thing falls apart before you can get a slice to your mouth. read more

Simple the best pizza in Oakdale always consistent never had a bad experience except the first time we asked for extra olives I think we got a whole gallon they are very generous with toppings so you never need to ask for extra read more

BEST pizza!! I love this place! Their mozzarella is amazing!! It gets a little loud but the place is always packed.

Well, having come from Ripon, I can say that the Ripon Gold Dust is A LOT better! Our pizza was so greasy that the crust was soggy, the sauce isn't as good and the spicy ranch is really some kind of chipotle-like conglomeration. Looks like I'll be going to Ripon to get a Gold Dust Fix. read more

Go try it u won't be disappointed very good well done thick crust combination We ordered to go and it was done around the time they had estimated read more

We ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza and picked up. The pizza was held in the car flat the entire time and when we got home and opened the pizza it was a complete mess. When we called to explain and sent them a photo they blamed us and said there was nothing they could do. After explaining that a vegetarian was unable to eat it as there were no slices without pepperoni she stated, "well, vegetarians don't eat cheese". This was our first time trying Gold Dust and we will not be back! Pizza plus is a better option! read more

Gold Dust Pizza - Supposed to be half cheese half pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Oakdale, California

I wrote a review for the Ripon location, and this Oakdale locations echoes the same experience 1:1. This is hands down one of the best pizza spots in existence. I have family that lives over here and they are sick of everyone asking to go here when visiting, but it's just THAT GOOD. Please see the photos I've attached to get what I mean. They DO NOT SKIMP on toppings at all and the crust is fantastic. I do not state this lightly, their cheese bread (which they call mozzarella sticks) is the GOAT of all cheese bread. I just can't even describe the gooey, greasy, cheesy goodness that bread has. It is a must order every time. The inside is spacious and has plenty of booths to sit at. Service has always been solid. read more

It's a good thing the pizza is yummy, because everything else was pretty rough... if you're looking for good pizza with a lot of toppings come to Gold Dust, but I'd recommend ordering it to go. There was no ice (another customer told me they never have ice), bathrooms were disgusting, and the place lacked any cleanliness... read more

This place is really going downhill. No beer selection, tv's don't work and the food is just not what it was. They need a serious re-vamp.

Probably the best pizza I've ever had in 70+ years of eating pizza - fresh and ample toppings -cauliflower crust is outstanding

Best pizza the crust is delicious and the ranch is delicious. Service was great. Definitely will be coming back when I visit here again.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Didn't wait long for a table. Lots of yummy appetizers and great pizza options. Ordered a combo and a vegetarian and a pepperoni. All came out perfect. read more

This place continues to impress. Years since my last review and they are still kicking out top shelf pizzas and wings. The price here is a little higher than other pizza places but their quality is certainly worthy of the investment. Service is always excellent and the restaurant is clean and well organized. The only reason I didn't give five stars was the pizzas here are always super greasy and a little on the overcooked side, read more

Would have been 5 stars but never was served our pitcher of beer, got it refunded. Think it's understaffed. Pizza was really really good.

I'd highly recommend avoiding ordering through DoorDash/their app ChowNow.. we spent just about $60 on One large pizza that was "in route" for over an hour (eta was 20-30mins) while the driver Adrian seemed to be doing donuts lol.. spoke with the restaurant multiple times, called the driver who claimed it was the restaurants delay even though they said our pizza had been sitting for at least 30mins and had multiple orders waiting for app pick up. The restaurant promised they'd redo our order to be sure it was fresh since it was sitting for so long, but it was soggy and cold upon final arrival. That on top of our "specialty pizza" missing ingredients and missing sauces. read more

This has been our favorite pizza spot for the last few years and I just realized I never posted a yelp review lol. I don't even remember how I found this place but I'm sure glad I did. We usually get the Eureka Deal, a giant two topping pizza, breadsticks with cheese, and four fountain drinks for $40. You can't beat that anywhere else with the quality you get. I love crust on pizza and theirs is the best I've had. They load up their pizzas with lots of cheese and toppings. They also have Sriracha ranch which is house made just like their regular ranch. So good! The staff there is always welcoming and friendly. They also play music which we always enjoy. read more
