My wife dragged me to the Cinco de Mayo celebration at Columbia State Park, and while the event itself wasn't really my scene, the trip became worth it the second we walked into St Charles Saloon. Great beer selection on tap--including the Red Trolley Ale from Karl Strauss--and the pizza was outstanding. Honestly, I don't understand how a place this small can make such a delicious pizza. We ordered two extra-large pizzas, and they were so good the leftovers got eaten on the ride home and again later that night. Big shoutout to our waitress (brunette with a nose piercing--wish I got her name). She was fantastic, attentive, and kept up with our crew of soda-loving kids without missing a beat. Fast service, great food, cold beer. If I ever end up back in Columbia State Park, this will absolutely be my first stop. read more

Got St. Charles Saloon pizza delivered (thanks hahaha) - and what a treat it was! Love this place, and wanted to see if it could hold the test of the long journey back to the Bay. Popped it into the air fryer, and it turned out fine :) I wanna say... the size is smaller than I remembered but I also can't confirm. And yeah, next time, I'm gonna either see if they have their hamburger pizza or just get a marinara pizza with chicken and basil (or just their Margherita). Reallllly wish this place was closer to the Bay, but appreciate it again for having someone who visits Columbia enough to deliver to me :) read more

I was skeptical to find great pizza in a "tourist trap" location but St Charles Saloon made me a believer. Only one cider on tap but it's the best seller from Indegy and it was so good that the cidery was our next stop. A small 12" Motherlode pizza was just the right size for my wife and I, and if you don't like the various combinations you can build-your-own. Family-friendly but it does get loud when the dining room fills up. Even with a packed house, our waitress was always accessible when we needed something. read more

Excellent selection of draft beer, excellent pizza (no...really) and friendly staff Every time I've been in the St. Charles I have had great service and no complaints at all. read more

Wow! The food was amazing! I'm so glad we finally made it out there. The "Chuck" specialty pizza is their version of a combination pizza and it is amazing! We also split the BLT and I will say (as a BLT guy) this is hands down the best one I've ever had. It's an old time saloon inside and plenty of seating outside. This place is definitely worth the trip. BTW - if you order the tots appetizer, you better bring plenty of friends, it's a massive pile of tots! read more

For a touristy town, this spot was awesome! First off they're a pizza joint... but the pizzas aren't traditional, so pretty much whatever you're craving I'd bet there's a pizza for that! There's an also quite a few sizes, from personal to large. We ordered the small, not the personal because we were really hungry and honestly we should have gotten the personal. The two pizzas we ordered were the Buffalo chicken pizza, and the reuben. Both of them were absolutely amazing and embarrassingly enough, we ate majority of both. We also ordered the sarsaparilla (it's famous there right?) and loved it. I highly recommend this place if you're in Columbia. read more

This is a great place to grab lunch if you are visiting Columbia. Food: 5/5 My family and I ordered the Ceasar salad and individual pizzas. All was delicious! The pizza had a soft but, crunchy crust and was cooked perfectly. Ambiance: 4.5/5 It had a cool ambiance that makes you feel like you are dining in an old western saloon. We sat inside, but they also have several outdoor tables. Service: 5/5 The customer service was great. Food came out quick and never ran out of our drinks. Price 5/5 The price was actually very reasonable. The salads were $6 each, the individual pizzas were $10-$11.25 depending on the pizza. I also ordered a beer which was $6. Overall this was a great place to come and further enhance the Columbia experience. read more

PIZZA REVIEW: Well well well, FINALLY found fantastic pizza and real Sarsaparilla in the Mother Lode! The crust has a slightly airy pillowy goodness with a great crispy outer crust and tender inside. Loaded with toppings galore, these PERSONAL size pizzas at 8" were amazing. The Cheesy Bread is Cheesy pizza flat bread style but not the fluffy pizza style. We at a few pieces (1 each) of the Mediterranean Special tonight with artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, sweet red onions and cheese with a perfect amount of red sauce. The second pizza we tried was the Islander with a healthy topping of Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, Red Onion, Tomatoes and Green Onions. I make my own pizza in my wood fire oven and this was every bit as good. Total bill...$38 bucks!! Such a value for fantastic pizza. If you have not had pizza at the St. Charles Saloon in Columbia you are missing out. Salads, Sandwiches and Calzones are also on the menu. 5/5 stars for the pizza and value and nice beer selection. Service was great and if you want to hang out in an 1861 saloon, the vibe is here! read more

We stopped here after a recommendation from the gentleman working in the information station. It was the best recommendation. The pizza was amazing. Each pizza was different and full of flavor. Who knew pickle on pizza would be delicious. The size portions were filling. My little got a personal pepperoni and he finished all but 2 pieces. My oldest got a small and also had two pieces left. My husband and I shared a Large with 4 pieces left. This food was flavorful, filling, and the time we went it wasn't too busy. They do allow dogs to sit with you outside and even bring a bowl of water for them. Dont miss this place. This is a spot to drive out if the way for. read more

Absolutely I will stop here for a pizza anytime I'm in the area. The variety of choices is fantastic and the service is impeccable. The beer choices are epic and they are always ice cold. This place is everything you want and need in a pizza place. They also have sandwiches! Honestly, go to the St. Charles for a meal. You won't be disappointed and you will be back. P.S. I wish they would bring back the Cubano pizza!! read more

We were enjoying some tasty beer & good music over at the Sonora taproom and our beer tender recommended this place when we got hungry. Once we saw they had pickle pizza it was no competition for what we would eat for dinner. We are downright connoisseurs of pickle pizza at this point. It was decadent and delicious. I'm not sure how much I loved the caramelized onions as they added a lot more sweetness to the pizza than I prefer and it definitely had that "artisan" price tag to go with the fancy pizzas, but it was still a solid dinner and the order & pick up process was painless. read more

Whenever I am traveling up to Old Oak Ranch our group stops here for lunch. For the price the food is awesome. Only two criticisms and that is when it is crowded is tough to talk to people inside but the outdoor seating is incredible. The second is related to the Chicken Caesar salad that I ordered that has no chicken maybe five little pieces. Our group ordered three large pizzas and that saved the day for me. The pizza is fabulous. The crust is incredible and their toppings are tastey and they put allot on to make the pizza filling. The servers are hardworking and they are attentive to their customers needs and I have to say our drinks were being refilled consistently on a very busy day. The cheese bread platter dipped in ranch dressing is a favorite. If you feel like you have an appetite that would match an Anaconda I would recommend the calzone. I highly recommend that you make this place a stooping point if you are in the Sonora region. read more

There is nothing like pizza from the Charlie... especially the next day.

This is the best pizza in the area. It's a must get when I come to town sometimes grabbing a few to take back to my family out of the area. They have unique pizza offerings like another fave , the pickle , as well as the usual ones you'd expect to see at a pizza place. I don't drink beer but there are lots of Choices on draft. I love having a sarsaparilla. The staff js friendly and helpful. The establishment is an old Gold Rush era saloon . I have many a fond memory coming here when I was a kid (not during the gold rush!! ) You have to check it out ! read more

Food is always wonderful. We love ordering half Motherlode and half Hippie. The hippie is all veggies and the motherlode is protein packed, an all- red sauce pizza. The crust has the perfect amount of crispiness and the toppings go to the edges. The cheesy breadsticks is also a favorite with a side of PGR (pesto garlic ranch) sauce and some marinara. They are always kind and accommodating. We are locals and will be returning over and over again :) read more

We come here whenever we are in Columbia. They have fantastic pizza. You have to try the Pickle Pizza (they brine their own pickles). All of the toppings taste fresh and delicious. The pizza's and calzones are excellent. The tater tots are a great little appetizer. Make sure you check out the specials. Service is always friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is old school, as it should be in the state park. They always have a great beer selection. read more

We are very new homeowners in the Sonora area. We found this Pizza Joint when my son search internet when we moved in. we went the first time and enjoyed the perfect Pizza, perfectly cooked with a light and flaverful crust. Fantastic toppings.The second time also very good. Now is the problem in Late August 2025 and September.early. The Pizza has been Over COOKED, Tough Crust to even try to bite into. Wy wife stated we cannot come back, she stated she would first give them a call to see what CHANGED!!! Is it a new employee they hire to make and Bake the Pizza or what has Happened to create now Flavorless and Tough as leather Crust! This place Suuuuccccckkks NOW. cANNOT SUPORT A BAD pRODUCT. lAST VISIT WAS $60.00 pLUS. wE CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND dOLLARS AND GET SOMEONE WHO IS cHICKING ON MAKING AND BAKING PIZZAS. fIRE THE cOOK AND STOP WASTING OUR MONEY SUPPOTING YOU CRAP BUSINESS. read more

Finally made it here after passing up so many times...very cool building ...not sure if its from the 1800's but it feels that way...We had the Chuck,Margherita and another pizza I can't remember the name of...all good and loaded with toppings and a slightly thick and crispy crust...the service was good ..she kept our beers and sodas full ...located in a old western part of town that's been preserved...would definitely go back! read more

This is without a doubt the best pizza in this area. A somewhat thinner crust style. Somehow perfect every time! Located in historic Columbia State Historic Park, it's a local gem. It's a bit far for us to visit as much as I would like to, but I have been there over a dozen times and never disappointed. Super friendly staff, great microbrew beer selection, gold rush vibe. read more
