The shop smells amazing when there is fresh pizza. The pizza was hot, fresh, straight from the oven. At exactly 11am, which is when the pizzas start to come out, a line formed. It was good but I've had better. It had a nice topping and sauce to crust ratio but it was missing something. The eclair we received sadly tasted old. It was probably from the day before. read more

Amazing pizza--the sauce is simply perfect. A good deal for a single slice which seems to be about one fifth on the pie. Those running the place were very nice and they quickly fulfilled our order. The ambiance is utilitarian and open; probably a great place to study at times. Haven't tried their baked goods, but the pizza was something special. read more

What an amazing find! Tasty pizza, by the slice, in Davis! For a reasonable price!! Plus, other baked goods and desserts! It all spells WINNER! The space is tiny and quaint, with just enough seating inside for 2 at a small round table in the corner. The kind where you and your date can sit, over piping hot slices, with your knees touching, staring into each other's eyes while the music plays...um...yeah, you get the picture. I didn't get the name of our server but she had a great attitude and was very helpful, answering questions about the business and the menu items. We ordered 2 slices of veggie and a cheese slice. The pizza crust is a little thicker than I was expecting, more like a focaccia than traditional pizza dough but it was really good! Especially, if you get a bit of extra sauce for dipping! The crust even held up well to being folded, the proper way to eat a slice, without flopping and dropping the toppings. The sauce is well balanced and the toppings are fresh. The peppers and veggies still had a bit of crunch to them after baking. Bonus points! Well done! Needless to say, I will definitely be visiting this place again! read more

Small bakery with lots of good eats. There are fresh pizzas by the whole pie or by the slice. Lots of bread to choose from and a beautiful case of pastries! Service is friendly and helpful. I had a little issue with one of my pastries and staff swapped it out no problem~ I got a butter croissant and a cream puff. The pastry style is rustic but charming. The butter croissant is flaky on the outside and decently soft of the inside. Not a lot of puff but buttery delicious nonetheless. It tastes a little oniony since it's right next to a savory pastry in the case, but I like onions so I don't mind~ The cream puff has a firm choux shell, which provide good structural integrity. A little hard for my personal preference but I'm a picky eater haha. The cream is vanillay and overall tasted good~ The places smells so good of pizza so I definitely wanna come back to try more. Btw there are seatings inside and outside. So you can enjoy some hot pizza on the spot! read more

We love this small but mighty bakery. Its perfect for a slice of pizza too! Great counter staff and it always smells so delicious! My dd and I always go for the pastry. read more

I am almost positive that I had a dream about a perfect pizza place like the Village Bakery. I was small enough to feel cozy, warm and welcoming, but it was in the middle of Davis nightlife. There was a variety of slices warming under an orange light. The minute we paid for our pizza, it was hot, ready and seconds away from being devoured. The pizza itself was wonderful. I had a host of fresh veggies and a lightly flavored sauce that didn't overpower the vegetables. The crust was sturdy enough to hold the cheese and fixings but chewy enough to pinch and pull and dip in the sauce. I regard an evening in Davis differently after enjoying pizza at this cute spot. read more

Loved the convenient location across from the Amtrak station for Davis! Fabulous food at reasonable prices beautifully displayed for "quick" selection if you already know what you want to order.

*** Vegetarian Review *** Village Bakery is a true mainstay in Davis, California, and it's no wonder why. This old school establishment has been serving the community for over 25 years, making it a cherished local gem. Whether you're craving a delicious slice of pizza or seeking the perfect artisan bread to start your day, Village Bakery has got you covered. Their freshly baked breads are a treat for early risers and a testament to their commitment to quality. Would I Come Back? Heck yeah. This is one of places I bring visitors to for a slice of Davis. Plenty of vegetarian options. Comparisons: Their pizzas are cooked in a brick oven so if you're a fan of Upper Crust Bakery on their Wednesday pizza nights, you'll really enjoy Village. Both are bakeries first so their pizza crusts are next level. For a more National comparison, Blaze pizza is close, but again, it's the crust. Tips for First Timers: 1. Free street parking 2. Call in advance or use the App. They can get busy so use your time wisely. 3. Whole pizzas and slices are available after 11am. 4. Daily meal deal ... 1 slice, 1 salad, and 1 soda. 5. Scone of the day. See my photos for the menu. 6. 4 inside chairs. 2 outside tables. And if you happen to be in the mood for something sweet instead, Village Bakery has got you covered there too. Their menu boasts a big selection of housemade desserts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Indulge in their Napoleons, fluffy cream puffs, decadent eclairs, delectable fruit tarts, or the classic Italian favorite, tiramisu. With such a variety of mouthwatering treats, you'll surely find the perfect ending to your meal. With all the tempting choices available, it's the pizzas at Village Bakery that truly steal the show and make it a must-visit spot. Their diverse menu caters to all palates, including a fantastic range of vegetarian options like the delightful Roasted Bell Pepper, Eggplant, Greek, Artichoke, and Spinach pizzas. And for the meat lovers in your life, they make it easy ... just order the Meat Lovers pizza. Custom Vegetarian Pizza ($27.50, Grade A) - It all starts with their generous 16" cheese pizza, which is already a satisfying choice at $23. But the customization options take it to the next level. For just an additional $1 each, you can enhance your pizza with toppings like mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. And if you're feeling adventurous, I highly recommend adding the roasted onions for an extra $1.50. The portion is large enough for three or two particularly hungry individuals. The perfectly melted cheese and melt-in-your-mouth crust make every bite a treat. I personally love enjoying the crusts with pads of butter. Village Bakery strikes a fantastic balance with their toppings, never overloaded or under-loaded, which ensures even cooking and a harmonious bite every time. Desserts: Don't forget to treat yourself to one of Village Bakery's tempting dessert options before leaving. My personal favorite is the indulgent chocolate eclair -- it doesn't leave that film in your mouth after you eat it. And their sticky bun is also a must. Everything is all made in-house and for those that don't like overly sweet desserts, this is your spot. For comparison, California State Fair goers are aware of the famous cinnamon roll (aka sticky bun) in the exhibit hall. I look forward to that particular fair food every year. Eating this sticky bun more than satisfies that yearly craving. Bottom Line: Village Bakery in Davis, California, is a cherished mainstay that has been serving the community for over 25 years. Their friendly service, always hot pizzas, and delicious housemade desserts make it a must-visit spot. Whether you're craving a slice or a whole pie, Village Bakery has earned its enduring reputation for good reason. read more

Some of the BEST pizza in town! Love their Tiramisu and of course the fresh baked bread.

Always excellent pizza, bread, bakery too. I think the prices are decent & fair not greedy. The atmosphere now is better. And the seating is comfie. A big upgrade. I'm so happy for you. Congratulations on your new location. read more

To be fair, I have not purchased any baked goods since they moved to their new location. Because there are so many bakeries to choose from the ambiance must be inviting as well. A bakery should feel like a small escape warm, inviting, and a little indulgent. Visually, it should feel cozy but intentional. Soft lighting, natural textures wood, stone, warm metals, and displays that look abundant but not cluttered. Everything should feel clean, but not sterile more "lived-in charm" This bakery looks like a cafeteria. It's big airy and cold. No decor. Nothing exciting to draw you in unless you're close and starving. That's how I felt walking in. So why would I go further to purchase something when the store itself is not captivating. I hope this changes, I hope it becomes better because I believe they can do better to draw people in to actually buy their goods. The location is perfect for a captivating invite. So use what you have and show it off. read more

I saw many positive reviews on the pizza here at the Village Bakery in Davis and decided to try it. I had a slice of the vegetarian pizza. The crust was droopy and the sauce lacked real flavor. The price, however, was reasonable, just over 5.00 per piece. I thought Costco pizza was better. The bakery is small and lacks much selection. There is no place to sit indoors, but a large patio is just out front. I like to support local businesses, but I would not return here. Sorry, I forgot to include a photo this time. read more

OK, I rarely remember in the area and dropping off one of my friends to SFO And on the return, I sat here from 630 to 7 just because they have the best sticky buns I've ever eaten years ago. They used to deliver them to a coffee shop in Sacramento and I got addicted to them there and here I am 20 minutes after seven and there's nobody there I have to admit it's probably the best sticky button/roll you've ever eaten But when they say they're gonna be open at seven, they should be open at seven read more

The best bread and pizza in Davis. Funky little spot, near Amtrak, and they make it work. For the pizza, it's available as whole pies, or by the slice. Bread makes a German happy with a perfect crust. Also, Aziz rocks! read more

Great little bakery! Came here to get some pizza & dessert. The cashier was good natured & welcoming. We both ordered pepperoni slices & a tiramisu. The pizza was good & I loved the crust. I would love to try their other flavors next time. I didn't like the tiramisu much but I enjoyed the experience. Casual, cost effective, & pleasant. Will be back to try more of their baked items. read more

TRY THE PIZZA HERE IF YOU LOVE A NICE BREADY CRUST!! I came here with a friend for coffee & pastries and ended up falling in love with their pizzas. Love that they sell by the slice in addition to the whole pizza. The pastries & coffee were nice, but the tasty pizza is what keeps me coming back! read more

This is an update of my review from earlier this month, in which the chocolate chip cookies were wanting. This time I got another set of cookies to share with my friends, and this time we agreed that the cookies were splendid, fresh and tasty. I will not hesitate to try their other baked goods in the future. Village Bakery has long served our community, and they donate food to the local pantry, and that should count for something. read more

one of my favorite pizza spots in Davis! Village bakery has been here for a while and i've been coming here since a child (i had my 12th birthday party dinner here!) The pizzas always hit the spot and if you order by the slice (~$5 now for a slice of veggie pizza) it's really filing and full of toppings! There is convenient parking in front by the street and there are outdoor tables next to the shop. I would definitely say it's worth stopping by and trying! read more

Such a cute little shop that sells pastries, pizza, bread, and breakfast items. They've been around since around 2003 - how have I never visited??? It's a short walk from the heart of Downtown Davis, next to the railroad tracks. I tried the quiche and it was delicious. Crust was nice and flaky and the filling was smooth and eggy. Good amount of cheese too. Perfect portion size for a small breakfast. Next time I go, I either want to try a slice of pizza or that chocolate lava cake... Anyway, they do have fees for certain purchases. I think it's something like $0.50 for credit card purchases under $10 and some other fee for orders above $100, but it's pretty transparent - they have signs right at the front. Super friendly service too! read more

Just the best of everything. They make the best pizza in town in my opinion. The thin crust and simple sauce like they make in Italy.j

This is a cute little hole in the wall place that everyone needs to know about! It's a tiny little place right near the train station. I believe it is owned by the same people who own Village Pizza a few blocks down, but it is very different. This is more of a bakery/takeout place. In the morning they carry homemade pastries and coffee which are excellent! I ate mine before I could photograph it. They also make pizza which they sell by the slice. It's good, thin crust New York style pizza. The price is also great! It's a very good place to get a high-quality cheap bite! Outdoor seating too!! They also have house baked bread quick is the mainstay off they're business. read more

Sadly no seating outdoors or inside, since it's such a small place. The whipped cream puff was the best pick for us, with a light pastry and lightly sweetened whipped cream that was piled on top. If you get these, prepare to get a bit messy since it's hard to get a clean bite haha. The croissant and cinnamon roll were average in my opinion. Weren't warm and the croissant was not as crispy as I would hope for the morning. The cinnamon roll was made out of puff pastry, so didn't have the same doughy-ness that I would usually expect from a cinnamon roll, but also didn't have the flakey texture of a puff pastry. Wouldn't get these again, but would return to try their other pastries. read more

Was passing by when I thought I'd stop at this place since I was a little hungry and in need for a bakery treat I stopped in this little gem where I was greeted with pure happiness from Evelyn. She was super friendly and told me that she take my order when I was ready I had informed her that I had never been here before, so she told me no worries and to let me know if I had any questions and when I was ready, I like that this place has pizza some sweet desserts and they also bake bread on the daily. They close at 5 PM so I know she been there all day and she had great customer service to be at the end of her shift. I can always appreciate good customer service, and as we know, it's so easy to write a bad review, then writing a good one! She was so friendly and I will definitely be returning I'm writing this as I stuff my face with pizza ! Nom nom nom :) Thanks girl! read more

Village Bakery - Bomb - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

I've tried several items at Village Bakery but none have survived long enough for me to take a picture. I recommend their ham and cheese croissants, or any other croissant for that matter. Their ham and cheese is my go-to as it's filling and delicious. They sell out quick of some items so I try to get there early whenever I'm in town. There's a couple 2 top tables but this really isn't a place to sit down and eat. It's more of a grab and go to a local coffee shop. Although my croissant is usually gone by the time I reach Temple Coffee. That's this critics review, until next time, I'll be eating. read more

I was meandering through downtown Davis on New Year's Day. For folks that don't know much about Davis, it's a quaint college town. The downtown has a village feel vs mini metropolitan. Anyway, on New Year's day while the majority of businesses were closed. Village bakery was open for business. Yeah! It is right next to the train depot. What sets this bakery apart from most other bakeries is that they sell pizzas as well. And they are tasty!! Besides whole pizza pies... they sell slices! Pizza by the slice! Huge slices! The pizzas are in the glass counter and they warm them up in the oven. I ordered the veggie slice. $4.10. It had caramelized red onions, yellow and red bell peppers, and mushrooms topped with feta cheese crumbles. Oh my gosh... it was fabulous! Those caramelized onions gave the pizza a nice savory sweetness. The middle of the crust was medium thickness and had a nice fluffy innards. The edge of the crust had a crunch snap when you bite into. They have two other slice choices. Cheese $3.30. Pepperoni $3.85. Check out my pic of their menu board... they got tons of while pizza combinations... choices choices... from basic to unique flavor combos. Variety. And of course they sell delicious fresh bread, lots of different kinds. Plus muffins, scones, danishes, croissants, sticky buns, turnovers, cream puffs, cupcakes, eclairs, and cookies. They have scones of the day with rotating flavors. $3. The cookies are moist and dense. Yum! The teeny tiny shop has a couple of bistro tables inside, but it's cramped. The main seating is outside. No frills aluminum patio tables and chairs and no fancy patio heaters out on the patio. It's a grab n go type of place. This place is not fancy-schmancy. No instagram worthy design or decor. No comfort seating. The baked goods are not staged. Very basic bare bones place. Folks come here for the outstanding baked goods, not to take selfies. Their business longevity and acclaim is due to the basic recipe of quality, great tasting, and priced right baked goods. #villagebakerydavis #villagebakerypizzabytheslice read more

This place is so da*n maddening! Here are three examples of recent visits: 1. Walk in about 8:00. No one there. I wander into the back and see an employee(?) eating what appeared to be salad out of a to go container. "Do you have any scones?" Sorry, haven't started making them yet. Try back this afternoon. 2. Hi, do you have scones? Yes we do? Great, I'll take 4. Sorry, we are all out. But you said you had them. Yes we do, but we are out. 3. 8:45 AM. Hi, I'll take a scone. Sorry just putting them in the oven should be ready in an hour or so. And these are three separate employees. (BTW) see my other review about we open at 8...unless we don't. Scones are terrific, and as they will tell you, " Yes, we have scones! But not now" read more

Love village bakery! I always go back when I'm in Davis. The secret that I almost don't want to share because I don't want them to sell out more than they already do is their sticky buns. Best. Sticky Buns. Ever. I know a lot of you probably won't believe me but these are unbelievably good and so addicting. Their pizza is also great as well as their garlic Parmesan loaf! read more

Best Halal pizzas!!! Tell them you want halal pepperoni when ordering. They have good walk in deals as well. Garlic bread is pretty decent.
