So, there's this guy hanging out in the kitchen where the food is being made. Don't know if he's an employee or visiting employees. Tall, dark, with a little dog. He finds it necessary to comment "Slavery, the only time things got done right". Has the DSM declared racism to be a mental illness yet? Because I swear, people who just can't keep their mouths shut every time they see some brown skin, have to have some kind of mental illness going on. A word of advice from someone who used to manage a restaurant, these kind of people will ruin your business. My mentor in the business, told me the only color she cares about, is the color green. The cashier was a very nice lady. The pizza was okay, but not worth the insult. read more

Some pals and I ordered takeout one evening. Wait time was about one hour total. We ordered a large Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Artichoke Heart Gourmet Veggie Pizza, a small Hawaiian pizza, and a side of fried zucchini. The pizzas were both delicious, especially the veggie one! My only complaint was that we ordered the side of fried zucchini for a group of 5 of us, and there were only 8 pieces of zucchini in this side dish. Would still order from here again! read more

Hands down the best pizza in Redding! Originally I was skeptical due to its location but once I finally gave it a try I have yet to order pizza elsewhere! Also super kind staff! I watched the cook once (maybe the owner) offer back $5 to another waiting customer just because the pepperoni was "a little crisper than my liking." SO KIND! Was happy to say the customer declined the offer and was just happen to have RUP for dinner! read more

We get pizza here about once a week. The dinner salad is crispy and fresh . The prices are reasonable. We like their pizza crust. I love the flavor of the tomato sauce. read more

Goodnight I'm full !! read more

Good solid pizza! We got an extra large pepperoni with extra cheese and an order of hot wings. It is excellent, particularly the crust. The sauce has flavor too! Plenty of cheese and pepperoni! The wings were done perfectly, I prefer saucier, but these were yum. Delivered right on time, driver was nice and followed social distancing as i requested. We will absolutely order again! Yum! read more

I have always been a fan of Redding Ultimate Pizza, but today's order fell flat. The sauce was not the usual zesty sauce. 2nd hand info tells me ownership has changed. Not sure, but the pizza was not the same. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside and we almost passed it, but it's by far the best pizza I've ever had!! The staff are very friendly as were the patrons. We ate there and it was very clean but the dining area is pretty limited. We noticed though there were A LOT of takeout orders. We'll definitely be eating there again in the future and highly recommend it. read more

I have to say the Without a doubt this is the best pizza I think I have ever had and I am 58 yrs old . I am so in love with their crust ( it is sourdough). We used to get take and bake because we live out of town, but my husband no longer liked it . I think we tried every pizza place between French Gulch to Red Bluff and finally found this gem! read more

One of my favorite places in Redding. Whenever I am on the West Side, I score a pie from Ultimate. They give a ton to the community too.

We were tired and on the road, they couldn't have been easier to work with and the pizza was great! They let us order our pizza for delivery at the hotel prior to checking in, called us back for our room number, offered ranch with our pizza, nice touch! We arrived the same time as the pizza and the delivery kid was polite, the pizza was hot. The staff was so kind and helpful. Perfect ending to a long day!! Would order again from there in a heartbeat read more

Redding's Ultimate Pizza - Try their speciality pizzas! - Pizza Near Me - Redding, California

We were supposed to meet friends at Millhouse Deli for pizza, but Millhouse was closed for no apparent reason, so we headed for Ultimate Pizza Co. Sorry, UPCo, but you just didn't send me this time. For one thing, the pizza wasn't as good as the last time we visited. For another, the live entertainment was bizarre. The first act was a guy who looked like one of the cartoon characters from Gorillaz, playing what sounded like background music from 1970s cop/detective shows on an electronic keyboard (it was actually better than I've made it sound). Next up was a DJ who seemed popular with the prison-ink crowd, playing mostly what sounded like gay bathhouse techno (though to be fair, all techno music sounds like gay bathhouse techno to my untrained ear). And then there was this conversation in the car after we left..... WHAT SHE SAID: "Did you notice the outfit our waitress was wearing?" WHAT HE HEARD: "Did you notice the slutty outfit our cute little blonde jailbait waitress was wearing? The form-fitting top with the bare midriff and the micro-sized Daisy Duke cut-off jeans? Notice any of that?" WHAT HE SAID: "Mmm mmm. Jesus, the Giants finally won a game. 'Bout time." WHAT SHE HEARD: "No, of course I didn't notice -- not even when she was doing her little pelvic thrusts near my head when she brought our pizza to the table. I was totally just watching the Giants' game." WHAT SHE SAID NEXT: "Liar." :::punches his shoulder::: WHAT HE HEARD: "Liar." WHAT HE SAID NEXT: "Ouch." WHAT SHE HEARD: "Guilty as charged." read more

I moved from the LA area, and of course, needed to find a good pizza place as we were unpacking. Luckily Ultimate Pizza was the closet to my house, and it turned out to be some of the best pizza I have ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot!) The crust is absolutely amazing ... the sauce isn't sweet like so many pizza places. The toppings are very fresh tasting, and overall the pizza you get delivered to your table is beautifully put together. Not soggy, not too thick and not too thin! Just perfect. The place is ecclectic and the staff is just awesome. Overall, I would eat here ever other day if I could, and we at least eat here once a week. Great place to watch a football game, drink beer and enjoy an amazing pizza. I highly recommend Ultimate Pizza Co. You won't be sorry. read more

Pros: Super friendly staff, nice beer selection. Great pizza. Con's: Passed out old man in the corner "wet himself", then when he woke up they helped him to his truck so he could drive away. Kids, still working on common sense, but that's the part of them being super nice and helpful. I'll be back. read more

I'm updating my review from 2014. The manager did reach out to me and offered me a free pizza (I never got it, but whatever). #1. Ordered a GF pizza. It was GREAT! #2. Ordered a GF pizza. It was burnt (that's when the supposed manager put the free pizza I never got on my account). #3. Ordered another GF pizza. I'll let you know. My 4 stars are because of: Sarah (sorry for the misspelling). She actually gives a shite. Great customer service! PS: She was who I spoke with on order #1. PSS: These are all delivery orders (yes I know, it's my own fault, however I ALWAYS tip)! Okay. #3. was just delivered. EXCELLENT! Thank you Sarah! read more

First off I would like to say the pizza was pretty good, and the crust was GOOD!! We ordered a combo w/ light on the sauce and ended up picking off the "sausage" or whatever it was supposed to be. Oh, and we got heavy on the sauce. The workers left a lot to be desired, two of the girls were wearing extremely short shorts, and really had no business wearing them, even outside to a picnic or the park, if you get my drift. Ughhhhh.......oh, and they were flopping their hair around, one of them was taking a phone order and had her head on the counter with her hair on the cheese and pepper shakers and the little pick up papers used for food handling. YUCK! They were pretty busy, but they sure didn't have a clue. Phones ringing off the hook, delivery people calling lost, looking for an unknown street and/or number. My order wasn't ready when I got there, and they said it would be out of the oven in three minutes. 25 minutes later I'm asking if the pizza is ready and they give me a blank look, and say "She can ring you up....." Well, I had already paid. Finally I got the pizza, and it was all my fault that it had taken so long, you know, because they had written the incorrect name on the tag. Yep, my fault, was how they made it seem. I really doubt we will try it again, it was pretty tasty but I don't think the place it overly clean, or follows proper food handling procedures. read more

I ordered a pizza and wings and they were both awesome. The new owners have the recipes down right.

We came all the way from San Luis Obispo and destiny led us to the ultimate pizza. Thankyou Ultimate Pizza read more

Great local family owned place. Outstanding pizza. The crust is light, fresh and tasty. Just the right amount of crisp to avoid a soggy pie. The sauce is subtle, with a complex tang of fresh herbs. Always check online first for coupons and specials. We usually take out or get delivery. The place is small, next to the gas station. It is not a "date" destination. Individual slices are available. read more

I've had maybe hundreds of pizzas from Reddings Ultimate over the years. I've always been a fan but have visited less frequently over the past couple years because I moved across town and it's less convenient. Last week I had a baby and had a postpartum craving for pizza during my stay at the hospital. I had my husband pick up a half sergeant pepper and half combo. Now it could have been that hospital food was losing is spark or maybe that the night before was spent pushing a basketball through a paper towel roll, but it was amazing. I have always enjoyed their sourdough crust, but it was fuller, crispier and more flavorful than ever! The sauce on the lonely artichoke was delicious. We had no choice but to eat the whole pizza since postpartum rooms at mercy don't have mini fridges, no complaints. I'll gladly drive the extra 10 minutes next time I need a pizza. read more

I can't stress how great this pizza is. The ingredients are so fresh and the GARLIC.... don't get me started about their fresh garlic. I wish they were still on the east side of town, but the drive is worth it! You can't find a better pizza, anywhere! read more

Very good pizza place! Awesome red and white sauce, plenty of garlic in both. The crust is really good and the service is great too. The pizza is served hot and fresh and they do a great job with it. If you haven't been yet give it a try. My husband and I consider ourselves pizza snobs... and we both really enjoyed this pizza! read more

Ultimate Pizza is definitely a takeout sort of pizza shop; location is small, kind of dingy, and it is situated in a gas station center. However, this didn't bother me since I was only there to take advantage of their ongoing deal of buy one large or XL pizza and get one of equal size for free. My family ordered a large Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Artichoke Hearts Gourmet Veggie which came with creamy white sauce but I substituted for red, Italian squash, onions, mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes (I also got it w/ extra sauce and garlic) and a large of their Ultimate Pizza which came with pepperoni, salami, Canadian bacon, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, sausage, and fresh tomatoes. Each pizza had a good amount of toppings (even though the Artichoke one didn't have as many artichokes as I would have liked) and they had a nice sprinkling of herbs on their cheese. The pizzas had a thick dough and a nice and thick crust with a crisp outside and a deliciously fluffy inside. Extra garlic and sauce is free which is always a plus. The tastiness and freshness of their pizza certainly earned it four stars in my opinion, but my dad and brother said that they would give it a three since they didn't believe the pizza was anything special. The only beef I have that would keep me from going back to this place are the prices. There is a recent buy one, get one deal, but a large at Ultimate is only a 14" and their XL is a 16". Without the deal, larges range at $20 and the XL range around $22-25. The pizza is great but not great enough for me to dish out on those prices. Our family is large and I guess we're just spoiled by Costco's $10 18" pizza. read more

Oh my dear Ultimate Pizza. How I miss your extra spicy chicken strips, your delicious garlic smothered pizza, and your caesar chicken sandwich which could rule the roman empire with its flavor. I can't wait for the short one week and six days that I return to the true NorCal and relish in your delicious food-coma inducing goodness. Bottomline, maybe not the BEST pizza I've ever, ever had, but absolutely WONDERFUL pizza. Definitely, however, the BEST BEST BEST spicy chicken strips in the entire world and the best chicken sandwich in the land. Nothing in LaLa land can top it and I've been craving it since the day I came down here. read more

The pizza here is quite good. I have to admit that my girlfriend and I found this place on Yelp as we were driving through Redding on our way back to Sac. The ratings were good so I called in an order. When we arrived, the GF was not thrilled about the location. You have to put appearances aside here and just enjoy the pizza. Food: A Ambiance: C read more

When you buy a pizza from Redding's Ultimate Pizza. you are not just buying a delicious meal for you and your loved ones, you are also paying into a lifestyle. The owner Eric makes you feel as if you are in his home as opposed to a typical pizza establishment. A home in which peace and love reign, devoid of judgment or pettiness. The place is adorned with crystals and framed vinyl records proudly displaying the owners perchance for revolutionary rock n' roll. The pizza also reflects this ethos with pies named after psychedelic rock albums such as "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Artichoke Heart Pizza" (my personal favorite). Sometimes if I really want to treat myself, I'll order off their secret menu requesting red sauce instead of white. I first stumbled into this restaurant one fateful rainy day nearly a decade ago. I was famished after a long hike below the Igo Bridge and upon requesting to watch my favorite team on their Tee Vee, I couldn't help but notice the kind-eyed handsome young man diligently typing away on his word processor at the corner table (the only other person in the dining area on this bucolic day). The young man was a poet and proceeded to read me some of his deep and intriguing naturalist prose. The poems were written from the perspective as if Walt Whitman and Jim Morrison made a love child! When I went to leave, he sincerely thanked me for my patronage and it was only then that I realized I'd been talking to the owner. (He was using his lunch break to work on his new collection.) Later I ran into the man on a trail around Whiskeytown and he recognized me right away. We stopped to chat and he introduced me to his two beautiful husky dogs (one of which he named Ishi, in honor of the great Yahi man and historical epoch). I thanked him again for the poetry reading and the nourishing pizza (their handmade sourdough crust I now crave nearly once a week). I was so lucky to have found this oasis of beauty and friendliness in a town that at times can feel harsh to us naturalists who just crave some home cooked pizza pie made by a Redding poet laureate. read more

Not the greatest or best pizza I've ever had but probably one of the better ones for Redding. To be fair, I would have to say it was the best I've had in Redding, CA. They will deliver to the ARCO station at Oasis Road & I5. You can pick it up there and save some gas if you live on the Northeast side of town. read more

Really wish I could give negative stars here....absolutely ludicrous. we literally just got our pizza and it is freezing cold...after an hour and a half wait and all the bull^%$# about we are busy on a Wednesday night...wow what an absolute waste of money and we used to like this place alot...now just like every other dont give a s%#$ restaurant in this town...save your money please... read more

For the pizza, this place is great. We really liked the crust and the toppings... not overbearing, but definitely not disappointing. And I must say, it is hard to find perfect crust. Ultimate Pizza nailed it. Fortunately, I cant bring myself to give this place 5 stars. We were originally on the hunt for some good hot wings to substitute our usual spot on nights that we can't drive out there. So, we didn't order an order of the wings expecting them to be better than they actually were since we didn't get them how would we know. I have not a single issue going and getting good pizza. I go to other places and expect them to taste better than the frozen variety that I could have easily prepared at home, but they are not. But, this place instead does it better! For sure on the high end of the Redding pizza spectrum. Moreover, from the pizza, we will definitely be returning for the pizza and more. It was really good! Loved it to the last slice. Freash, yes. Sourdough is a winner, a big winner of the crust race. read more

Great pizza. One of the few that still use tomato sauce on their pizzas. A lot of pizzas come without sauce claiming to be trendy or something. Truth is they don't know how to make good tomato sauce. Ultimate pizza makes good pizza with sauce. My normal pizza is pepperoni and mushroom. A large delivered with set you back $28 plus a tip to the delivery guy. A bit high but I keep ordering it. 1 hour to deliver. read more

I am always pleased with the pizza, salads, and delivery from Ultimate. I decided to try a meatball sandwich. It was pizza dough browned on both sides with meatballs cheese and sauce folded in the middle. It was more like an Italian taco and very chewy. Lesson learned. read more

I really don't have anything great to say about this pizza. I REALLY wanted to support a local company over the Round Table Pizza by my house but I just can't. We ordered one medium pepperoni pizza on a Sunday evening, a salad, and chicken strips. The order took 1.5 hours to be delivered (and we live not even 5 minutes away from the location). The salad was fine but also obviously thrown together with other pizza ingredients. The chicken strips were fine but super doughy. The pizza was also super doughy. It honestly tasted like a good frozen pizza. Underwhelming. The best part of the whole experience was the delivery. The delivery boy was super nice and I also got a selfishly good laugh when he accidentally panicked and backed into a trash can before delivering our food. The trash can wasn't hurt but you could tell his ego was. read more

You know how you REALLY want to like something because of the person who helped you? The person behind the counter was so nice and friendly it almost made up for the pizza being kinda bland....almost. This is a site to review the food, so unfortunately this I will do. The crust was flaky and fresh, but it seemed to take up half the slice, meaning the cheese and toppings got sacrificed. It had a good flavor overall, but I want pizza that, well, isn't all dough. Cut down on the crust and hit me with a little more pizza and it may be better. read more

I'm so sick of hearing all the hype about a place and then getting ripped off! I have no problem paying good money for great pizza but $30 bucks for what I would swear was the $10 combination pizza from Costco! What a great way to make a huge profit, load up on Costco pizzas and sell them for triple the original cost! If I hadn't called in this pizza and driven from SLC, all the way to the top of Placer St., I would have left upon entering the building. The place was filthy, unattended and customer service was nonexistent. I won't be back, neither should YOU! Bye bye $30 bucks, I will miss you. read more
