Worth seeking out! Groundlings Pizza is the kind of place you stumble upon once and then tell everyone about. Tucked away on Jerry's Flat Road, it's truly a rare find. The artisanal pizzas are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can actually sit and watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which in my opinion, makes the food taste even better. The pizzas are interesting, thoughtfully crafted, flavorful, and clearly made with care. There's something special about seeing the process and knowing your food is being made fresh from start to finish. If you're looking for excellent pizza off the beaten path, Groundlings Pizza is absolutely worth the trip. A true hidden gem! read more

Seems to be one of the few restaurants opening here at night. Beautiful view of the river. You can see otters flipping around in the water occasionally by the outdoor dining area Pretty busy inside. You need to order by the front and pay first The sausage calzone is not really my thing. Way too many unchopped garlic(like half of the content). I thought it would be pieces of round cut-sausage but it's more of ground meat with some kind of white sauce. It gets really heavy after a few bites. The pickled banana pepper isn't helping the heaviness either. But others seem to like it. The four cheese pizza is also pretty basic. I personally would not go back They also have some interesting gelato flavors selling inside. read more

Fantastic pizza with fresh, flavorful ingredients and a perfectly cooked crust. The service was just as impressive. Friendly & welcoming

We love having groundlings right down the street and have tried many of their menu items. This evening we ordered A Fungus Amungus-pistachio pesto, pecorino, fresh mozzarella, oyster mushrooms and beer sausage. Our friends ordered You Get More Beautiful Everyday- tomato sauce, Parmesan, mozzarella, soppresatta salami, roast garlic, hot honey. Both are delicious. We also love the calzones, our grandson went nuts for the s'mores one last summer I can't wait to take him back this summer. Drinks were tasty, service was great and they even had live music while we were there. -Andi read more

The drinks and beer were great and the pizza was better! Nice friendly place with a killer view of the Rogue. Nice outdoor patio area where dogs are allowed. We had the Smelly Nelly with mushrooms and 3 different cheeses. The crust was superb. Thin and charred on the bottom, with a nice "chew" that tasted like it had some sourdough in it. Oh and the bathrooms rock too! Gold Beach is darn lucky to have this gem. read more

We got half smelly Nelly (AMAZING) and half pepperoni (also amazing) we had to do all red sauce to do this combo. It was still so so so good. We got a ride of ranch not expecting it to be the dill ranch and it was intense with the dill flavoring. They had a little live band playing tonight. Beautiful view of the river. Pizza crust was perfectly crispy and soft. Service was great! I can see why everyone rates this place so highly!!! I'd come back just for the pizza! read more

Groundling Pizza - Amazing Pizza!!! - Pizza Near Me - Gold Beach, Oregon

We were in Gold Beach for work, and since it's such a small town, there aren't a ton of dining options and most places only have "okay" reviews. The last time we were here, we tried another spot with decent ratings, but the experience was the total opposite of what we expected... it was pretty bad. So, going into this place, my expectations weren't high. But the reviews looked solid, and honestly, it's hard to mess up pizza right? Well, I'm happy to say this spot totally delivered. We ordered a simple cheese, a pepperoni, and what I think was their combo (can't remember the exact name), and every single one was delicious. The crust was thin and crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of chew, and it had great flavor. The toppings were all fresh and balanced perfectly. The staff was awesome and super friendly, made great recommendations, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Overall, this was one of those unexpected finds that totally exceeded expectations. 10 out of 10 recommend if you're ever in Gold Beach and craving some really good pizza! read more

The food is really really great! The atmosphere is chill and there's a view of the Rogue river. The staff are friendly and helpful.

It's been decades since I have left no tip. Decades. The service was unbelievably horrible. We sit down time goes by, and finally a gal stops by and says OH?! Can I get you some waters? Yes please, we'd also like a drink, she asks what would you like? A Bloody Mary please, hubs says cider, he gets his cider, comes back says no to Bloody Mary, bartender's on break, I can do beer and wine for now..okie, I'll have a cider then get a drink..our third person arrives asks for a drink, sorry can't do that, bartender on break..ok. We'll wait...forever apparently. Were there over an hour no bartender. No drinks. The hostesses did their best. Other patrons also coming up for a drink. Nope. Asked for a couple extras on the side for the pizzas, nope. Little guy helping in kitchen came and finally brought them. After asking, asked for some salt, nope, flag down a hostess again. Oh yeah, finally brings it when almost done. NO SERVICE, NONE..NO DRINKS, NONE. The guest that took us out to dinner never even got anything but water. Guess we should be grateful for that. Not only will we never go back..I won't recommend to any of the tourists passing thru my shop. I can't imagine they will stay in business long, but there is always those folks that "don't know"... yet read more

The Smelly Nelly, Arch Porter and Pale Ale were good. The pizza was delicious. The service was horrible. We were not greeted at the door and had to figure out to seat ourselves. The bartender obviously was very tired, busy, and /or had a major life event on her mind. The weight of the world appeared on her shoulders. No greeting with a smile when I looked at her and smiled. Arrived at 7:10 and saw that they close at 8:00. Not a good sign. Eventually another lovely server arrived. We never saw her again. It took over an hour to get our pizza. It was not overly busy and tables were clearing as they were closing. When the pizza arrived, we got a box to go as we wanted to catch the sunset. The pricing was decent. 12 oz beers $4. Pizza $23. Ranch dressing $2??? Wt? No mention on the menu that we'd be charged. A slight turn off given such poor service. The kitschy bathroom signs and photos were cute initially but then I just thought they were crass and dirty given our experience. And overall the place seemed a bit dirty and an off vibe. Very disappointed. It's rare that I give reviews like this especially from places reviewed highly. Just a bad night? I'll give them that and hope they can do better for others. read more

Food is great. However, the service is not. My wife and I came in at 5:30 for dinner. There were 3 employees standing around, 1 cleaning a table, the other 2 just standing there talking. We waited for atleast 5 mins before a young girl came over with water. No Hi, No Welcome to Groundings not even a smile. She said let me know when you want to order, could barely here her. Then took our order without writing it down with a few minor changes and screwed it up. We were the only patrons in there. I know I am at s Pizza/Bar but someone needs to teach the staff how to be more inviting and pleasant. The other issues, we are trying to enjoy ourselves and there is rap music coming from the cooking area. Not a fan, found it annoying, because it was quiet in there maybe it just seemed loud. read more

The pizzas here are delicious! My favourites are Smelly Nelly, Bill the Gravel Guy, and Naked & Famous. Their pizzas are truly creative and unique. They also have amazing bartenders. Sam is a true mixologist. Her margaritas have to be the best that I've tasted, anywhere. She uses a bespoke mixer that she created herself, and it's incredible. The people here, like the atmosphere, are warm and welcoming. There's a great bar, screens with sports on, as well as separate areas with tables for families. There are also outdoor tables looking out over the Rogue River - magical in the summer. read more

The Hawaiian was my favorite pizza I've had in years! Service was great. Can't wait to try more next time we're in town.

Beautiful location, friendly service and great food & drinks. I can't remember which pizza we ordered but it had burrata and balsamic vinegar, delicious! I ordered a house cocktail, also can't remember which one it was, something "cassis" and it was so good I ordered a second. read more

This was the best pizza I've had. I am visiting from Vegas, and my mom recommended this place. Definitely worth it. I love the different kind of pizzas they have, not just your typical cheese and pepperoni. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted great. Staff was really nice too, I'll definitely be back! read more

I buy pizza here once per week. I called for a pick up pizza on Monday for the football game. The last pizza was very dry and burnt. I explained that to the rude young man who answered the phone. I stressed that the last pizza was almost ruined for us between the burnt edges, all the way around, and the lack of sauce to provide taste and moisture. When I got there, the young man was unhelpful when I told him I was not going to pay for extra sauce. That I had previously explained the last was too dry and to ensure this one had enough sauce. I eat there a lot, I just had their meatballs 4 days ago! I am disappointed in the service and the pizza. This place used to be better, even when they were swamped in tourist season. The owners used to care and appreciated regulars. Oh well, no pizza and an unhappy customer! read more

The atmosphere was good, funny pictures on the walls, a nice mural with the Groundling Pizza slogan - "unsophisticated pizza 4 unsophisticated people". We ordered 4 different pizzas, the Hawaiian with red sauce and one regularly, the pepperoni, and the milk and honey. All were good, but my mom thought the cheese on the Hawaiian was bleu cheese and didn't like the taste. (I wanna say it's actually Gorgonzola?) We also ordered the calzone and the dessert calzone. THESE ARE GAME CHANGERS!! I live out of the area and will be dreaming about the dessert calzone for weeks. If they weren't closed on Monday I probably would have insisted we went back to get another one before we travel back to the Bay Area. It was delicious how they combined Nutella and marshmallow fluff with the torch of a pizza oven inside a pizza bread topped with graham crackers. The savory calzone was also delicious. It was meaty, creamy and all things enjoyable! Price was good for the value, service was good, had a live pianist playing in the background. Would definitely come back (and will, especially for the s'mores calzone - lol) read more

This is the best food in Gold Beach. I'm not sure what the people of Gold Beach did in order to be blessed with the presence of an elite wood fired pizza joint like this, but don't sleep on Groundlings, this is the place to go. Pizza is TOP TIER. It was so good the first night we came back a second day in a row. The only problem with Groundlings is they don't have a location in Beaverton. When we get home from this vacation, I'm going to be missing Groundlings. read more

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! After eating at this pizza joint, I became so excited to write this review. Their pizza is 12/10ths legit, and the Head Honcho is from Brooklyn, need I say more. They bake all their pies in a wood-fired oven and as soon as you open the door you are quickly hit with that wood-fire aroma. We had driven a bit looking for a pizza dinner as it was raining at our campsite and we initially went North towards Port Orford and then on to Bandon with no luck and decided to try out Gold Beach and we are beyond thankful that we came to this establishment. The views from the tables were spectacular and we got to witness some seals playing around outside our windows. I love funny wall art in the bathrooms and this place did not disappoint in fact I'd put them in the top 3 places I've been to for bathroom wall art. Back to their pies... We ordered 7-pies and they were all amazing. I am not a pepperoni guy at all usually opting for a Margherite as I am a traditionalist. They put some ridiculously delicious hot honey on their Pepperoni pizza and it made all the difference. This was by far and away the best pepperoni pizza I've ever experienced. We also ordered the Milk & Honey Pie, a 1/2 & 1/2 Margherite / Hawaiian, and a Balls of Fire, a You Get more Beautiful Everyday, Mighe Lon, and a Fungus Amungus. Looking back I guess we got so caught up in eating these delicious pies that I skimped on the photo diary. I apologize for that. My gf was both elated that we ate here along with being sad. She was overjoyed because the pizza was so good but sad because it is a long haul from Eugene to get to enjoy this pizza again but we will definitely be back. read more

Outstanding! We were staying up the hill at one of the cabins (also highly recommended) and hungry. I saw Groundling Pizza on yelp, told my friend, I think it's down at the bottom of the hill.. Anyway, we ordered ahead and picked it up to go. Great service. Cozy ambiance. The pizza itself - amazing. I think I scarfed down about 3/4 of it in one sitting! read more

It has a very nice river view and we spotted two beavers. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and the service was great. The salad and pizzas were super good and I especially liked the milk and honey. The house margarita was very spicy because it had chopped jalapeño in it. read more

Try it! Try it! Try it! An absolute must if you're in the area. The pizza was killer! The best I've ever had! When they say they know how to make a pizza, they do! The staff were friendly, easy to talk to and seemed like they loved what they do! We sat out on the deck with our dog and what we did see of inside was clean, organized and had a great vibe. I can't say enough about how absolutely delish the pizza was. I'll be dreaming about it back home in Reno. Maybe enough to make a trip back out! Thanks Groundling Pizza! read more

We had the arugula salad and an order of meatballs which were attractively served and delish! The dollops of ricotta on the latter was a great touch. The iced tea hit the spot after our three hour drive through the mountains. I think the mildly conservative crowd would be a bit off-put by the decorations, especially in the bathrooms. It was gutsy but I suppose some folks embrace it. You can't beat the view. We sat on the patio (where dogs are welcome) watching a very popular day for steelhead trout fishing on the Rogue River. This is definitely a gem for food, the friendly staff and the view. I'm still stumbling on the artwork. read more

Truly amazing thin crust wood fire pizza. The toppings are great fresh and tasty. I was very surprised to find such good pizza in such a small town. Going back today for another excellent cocktail and small bites. There is an excellent view of the river and bridge from the dining area with binoculars at each table to get a better look at the birds flying over the water. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and the town. Don't leave Gold Beach without trying out this joint. read more
