I always have a 5 Star time at Smart Pizza! Shirley & Suzy and their team repeatedly hits it out of the ballpark with the food, beverages and hospitality! The vibe is what you make of it; always fun & frolicking! Back patio is awesome and the memorabilia on the walls is worth checking out! Can't wait for my next visit!! read more

We stopped in this afternoon, we were greeted right away and warned that they did not have pizza by the slice ready at the moment. Which was fine we were getting a whole pizza. We ended up with a medium pepperoni pizza, it came out quickly and was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and good quality. The sauce was perfect not too sweet or acidic, balanced. The crust was nice and chewy with crisp edges. The prices seemed very reasonable, it was clean and had lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend giving it a try. read more

Pizza was pretty good. Ceasar salad was quite small. My friends did end up getting upset stomachs the next day though. Limited with pizza places here though. read more

If you're looking for a delicious pizza and a quick bite before you start galavanting through Guerneville, Smart Pizza is the local spot you need to try. We called ahead on a Friday night, and be prepared as they cook everything to order, so it may take sometime. The owner and pizza chef were nice, and the pizza was delicious and crispy after a long day of travel. Their salads come prepackaged and portioned. Ambiance reminds me of a local pizza spot, and a place where laughter, drinks and slices are shared and enjoyed :) read more

Picked up two personal pizza orders; one veggie one meaty. It was alright. Could have used a few more minutes in the oven but that is a personal preference. The dough is soft but not springy and also not thin enough, so it feels like a homemade pizza. Ingredients were good enough so I ate all the toppings and left the bread like a skinny b would, LOL read more

We were super hesitant to come here due the low reviews. I can definitely see how the service wasn't the most friendly, but the food was very decent. We got a ranch chicken pizza, which had tender pieces of chicken and plenty of bacon. I don't think the Cajun sauce really tastes like much at all underneath all the toppings. I really liked the sweetness of the sauce with the onions as well. We picked up hot honey from a supermarket and that was a great dinner! I'm not sure why the reviews are awful, but for me, I think the food is one of the better options in Guerneville! read more

Smart Pizza - Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Guerneville, California

My friend and I decided to go here after wine tasting. The outside was colorful and clean. The inside was a bit darker but so colorful and neat. We were immediately greeted and shown a menu. We ordered a Ceasar salad, a whole loaf of garlic bread, lemonade and 2 pizzas (Toby Fav and Cajun Combo). We sat outside and our food was brought outside. The lemonade was refreshing, the salad was crisp, the garlic bread was tasty, the pizzas were delicious and the even the ranch was good! Our server was very attentive and even brought us more ranch to take home. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely go back. read more

Five adults and two kids went in for pizza. Most of us were from out of town but the one local said this was her favorite pizza. We ordered a large Zorba the Greek pizza had feta, spinach etc and was vegetarian and Toby's Fav with sausage, pepperoni and garlic. Both were delicious. Particularly wonderful was the crust. It had a good amount of crust but was not heavy and chewy like most pizzas. It was the best crust I have eaten in years. The service was great, staff friendly even gave the kids some toy cars. Outdoors service was great but nice inside as well. Also had some good cider with different flavors. I highly recommend. read more

Best pizza in town. Old school...which I love. Called ahead, fast friendly service. Can't beat the pepperoni!

Camping nearby and decided to get a pizza for my teens and the whole experience was terrible. The rude vibe when we walked in should have been a clue but we ordered anyways. Ordered a pepperoni pizza and waited while having a beer. After walking all the way back to the campsite my kids tried to grab a slice and all the toppings slid right off and it was undercooked. So they sent me pics because my husband and I were still there finishing our beer. I proceeded to show the woman there with no intention to ask for a refund but just to show them what we were working with. She proceeded to slam something down and tell me that my kids don't know how to pick up a pizza that was too hot! I said look they walked all the way to the campsite like is that not enough time for the pizza to be ready, and also my kids are teens and they are pizza experts and have never had a problem picking up a slice of pizza. I told her since we walked in you guys have both been so rude and we are spending money here and tipping. She says "I'm sorry you feel that way"! Not an "I'm sorry for my terrible attitude". I did not ask for a refund nor did I intend to and my husband and I walked out. My brother also ordered a pizza and the entire pizza was burned at the bottom! He decided it wasn't worth walking all the way back. I feel so upset spending money at this establishment and being treated so rudely. Also what the menu price says isn't correct and they will charge more. Anchovies say $1 on the menu but they said it's $2 then proceeded to charge me $3 until I realized adding it up. What a shame for these people to treat people the way they did. read more

My boyfriend stopped here for a pizza and we were so impressed! The owner was so kind and welcoming even giving us drinks on the house while we waited to take our pizza to our hotel. We loved the pizza and it made staying in so much better. read more

Susie and Sue need to be removed immediately terrible customer service. My family and I stopped here while camping nearby because there aren't too many food options in the area. Unfortunately this turned into one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. The first issue was with the pricing. Their menu clearly listed anchovies as a $1 topping, but the employee insisted they were $3. When we politely pointed out that their own menu that they created themselves advertised them for $1, instead of honoring the posted price or acknowledging the mistake kindly, the employee disrespectfully tells us "Alright you want to pay $1? I'll give you $1 worth." That's not how you treat paying customers. If your prices have changed update your menu but to say " You want to pay $1 i'll give you $1 worth" just blatantly rude and disrespectful. It's what YOUR menu is advertising so her attitude was uncalled for. I wish it ended there but it didn't. We walked about five minutes back to our campsite and find our pizza with the cheese completely slid off, the slices are clumped together. We weren't asking for a refund or free food, my mom simply brought it back to show them because we had paid for it and there was clearly an issue. Instead of apologizing they proceeded to tell my mother "Your kids need to learn how to pick up pizza," followed by "They needed to let it cool down." Those responses were rude and completely unprofessional. Rather than acknowledging the problem or trying to make it right, they immediately blamed us. A pizza can get messed up that happens. What shouldn't happen is blaming customers, refusing to take responsibility, and treating them with sarcasm when they calmly point out a legitimate issue. Between the incorrect menu pricing, the dismissive attitude, and the way our concerns were handled, I won't be returning and can't recommend this place to anyone visiting Guerneville. read more

This lovely unapologetic popular pizza place at the river gets very busy. I was eager for a quick snack and noted that they had pizza bread and got in and out and a reasonable amount of time so if you're in a hurry and you need some quick super tasty eats. I do have to recommend the pizza bread Place is and the staff is no nonsense and straightforward which adds to its charm. Seeing the locals come to grab their pizzas and come at closing and hopes they get a pizza an hour later amusing. Everyone wants to seem to get a bite here, but do you plan ahead order ahead and get the pizza of your dreams because people do covet the pizza here. The inside is brightly decorated as well as the outdoor areas, which makes it a great place for small or large groups. read more

I love their Calzone. I used to love their pizza. I'm not sure if this was just a fluke or if they are getting skimpy on their toppings? 1/2 slice salami on one piece. Two 1/2 slices on the other. Two very tiny pieces of mushrooms on one and three on the other. This is so sad. read more

Not a lot of pictures because we were so hungry, but I can definitely recommend Smart Pizza for families and friends who need a good pizza fixing during breaks in between exploring the red woods and/or Russian River. They are extremely efficient and quickly got our appetizers and pizzas ready, for 5 families! (Thanks to the owner, who was patient and had a killer sense of humor) The portions are quite good, and the flavoring of all the pizzas (pepperoni, hawaiian, combo) are solid. Thanks Smart Pizza! read more

Great pizza, nice place, pleasant service. Pretty quick as well. What more does one need?

My girlfriend and I stopped in here on a whim on a weekend trip and we fell in love. The pesto artichoke pizza was the best we've ever had. The restaurant is decked out in awesome, vintage memorabilia that we loved to look at as we ate. The owner and woman working the register were very kind to us and everyone else who walked in the door, we enjoyed swapping stories of San Francisco dates. Would highly recommend. read more

Half our pizza was burnt so badly we couldn't eat it. The wings we ordered tasted like they were boiled and then dipped in drenched in bbq sauce. The energy with the staff wasn't friendly. I do not recommend anything from here. read more

We ordered a large 1/2 pepperoni & 1/2 cheese and a medium pesto chicken to pickup. The pizza was tasty and lots of cheese. The crust was thin but the pizza edge was crunchy outside & soft with a little chew inside. The pesto chicken was yummy. The people were very nice. read more

Cashier - Duchess of Dough (at least, that was the name on the receipt) $32.50 (Bacon, Chicken, Ranch, BBQ Pizza - $22.95, Beer $7.00) I'm only giving this restaurant a 3* review because it would be too much to give it more "UNLESS" I was only reviewing the pizza. It's a little hole in the wall in Guerneville, a friend wanted to try. She'd read something about the owners (ladies) who were possibly written up or reviewed poorly over some political BS. So we wanted to support their endeavors. No inside seating at present, but it was a nice day to eat outside. From the get go the Pizza Maker person was so rude, argumentative and confrontational and somewhat mocking, we almost didn't proceed w/the pizza order. He actually started to get in an argument with me over where he came from and sadly some political BS. My friend and I both agreed, the owner needs to know of this very rude employee. Especially considering the Pizza was off the hook fantastic! Great combinations, generous size, wonderful fluffy and chewy crust, piping hot and once you start, it's hard to stop eating it. Yummy pizza sauce too, that did not overwhelm and it was not swimming in runny cheese. All ingredients were right to the edge of the crust. If you are in the area, do give it a try. A pie takes about 30+ min., so grab a beer and eat outside. Just wish the beer had been colder, as in the little red cup it warmed up pretty quickly. Fingers crossed your pizza maker on the day of your visit is not this angry dude. Tried to give a rating on Trip Advisor, but they are not listed. read more

Not sure why Smart Pizza doesn't have better reviews? Their pizza is high quality. Not a thin crust but a fresh pizza dough crust which I'm sure is made on order. We had a salad and a couple draft beers. Both good as well. They had a solid draft selection too. The ambiance is old school pizza vibe with a nod to the history of the area reflected by the pictures on the walls. The staff was welcoming. Solid spot. I would recommend and definitely go back. read more

We came to make a takeout order on a Monday around 7:30 pm. We were quoted 30 minutes but it took more like 20 minutes for our pizza to be ready. We got: * 14" Half Hawaiian, half sausage/pepperoni (forget which pizza) - 3 stars This was not bad, not amazing. Worked to fulfill our pizza craving. There was quite a bit of very soft/stretchy cheese. The crust was medium thickness and on the soft side. read more

Smart Pizza - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Guerneville, California

Kind of good, kind of not. The crust is super, and the sauce tastes good. But I think they must use the most cheapest mozarella in the world. It's kind of like plastic. And the toppings, especially the onions, tasted almost slightly bad. I was also really disappointed they wouldn't let us out on their tree-shaded back deck next to river on a nice day. The only other option for being outside was out in front on the street, which I don't like because of cars. And at that particular time, the sun was setting and blinding us, and a bunch of unsightly drug addicts were smoking drugs near us, from which I got a very unwanted slight contact high. read more

The key to a great pizza is excellent crust. Smart pizza has it! The sauces and toppings are top shelf, also. If you like ham, try it here as they use real baked ham chunks, not the thin deli style composite type. read more

I am a long term customer, i.e., years. They do a good job. If there was a 4.5 stars option I'd most likely mark that. If there were a dollar sign rating for the cost of their pizza I would ring it in at about $$$$$. The pizzas are pricey. No matter, their food is very good. In past years I have eaten in and during summer the back deck is unique and pleasant. In recent years I mostly order take out to watch a ball game at home (usually pizza, but their spaghetti and meatballs is excellent and generous) . Almost always their staff is polite and friendly which for me is a big deal. When you want a good pizza or a hearty pasta dish Smart Pizza is a good choice. read more
