Mmm, good fresh out of the oven pizza. It has a considerable amount of topping, right amount of crust, and not covered in pools of oil. They are constantly baking new pizzas, so you rarely get a slice that has been sitting. Also, that means there's a lot of people coming in buying it. They have a super good deal for 5.50 where you get a large slice of either cheese, pepperoni or veggie pizza, a side salad, and a drink. The drinks include: juice squeezes, minute maid, sodas, water, and Snapple. NOT BAD. Two out of the three times I've been here, I got FREE BREAD. The first time, they were packing up for the night and we asked about the bread. They said they give the leftovers to the homeless shelter (wow, what a generous and loving restaurant. how philanthropic!). Then, they offered us a free loaf that was delicious. I hope they didn't think we were homeless. Then the second time, my very AZN friend asked for free bread and they gave us some. Pizza, good! Workers, good! Bread, good! read more

Dear Village Bakery, I miss you!! Please move your butts down to the east bay (and bring the hot guy with the piercings) I have yet to find a place in the bay area that makes bread like you, especially your focaccia bread. My paninis don't taste as yummy without your bread. Your loyal customer, Jessica p.s. you have the best pizza in Davis hands down. read more

Great pizza and tasty treats at this place. Hard to think someone wouldn't like it. Plus my wife is really picky and she likes it!

This place has the absolute best veggie pizza ever. I've purchased it both by the slice and a whole one for my friends and I. I tell every body about the veggie pizza that Village offers, but it has to be from this location. The dough has an artisan taste to it and the pizza sauce is robust and seasoned perfectly. All the veggies included make a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The sweetness from the caramelized onions pairs greatly with the mushrooms and other vegetables. I highly recommend trying this veggie pizza. read more

Ordered the chicken pizza with extra cheese. It's been a few years since eating here, but was always amazing. Really looking forward to the (pricey) treat. Super disappointed - it was like eating cardboard. Everything was dry - the chicken and crust were dry and chewy, and there was no appreciable sauce or cheese to bring the anticipated delicious moisture to the pizza. Super disappointing. Called the restaurant and the response was, "nobody else called about this." Will not go back. read more

My favorite pizza place in Davis! My husband and I always order their pizzas for birthday parties and gatherings. Everyone is super nice here, too. :) read more

Veggie STAPLE pizza. Gross. I don't know how or why it ended up in my pizza but nonetheless there was a staple and that is unacceptable. What were they doing? Rolling pizza dough by the cash register where the stapler is? That is wrong on so many levels. I talked to the cashier and cook, they offered me more pizza. Surprisingly i denied hoping to get a refund but was never offered it. It is safe to say I will never go back here. read more

I wish I had discovered this place sooner! For some odd reason, I had never even noticed this little shop on the corner even though I was going on Amtrak every other week for a year. Like other yelpers mentioned, this is probably the best pizza in Davis, especially for the price. The peperoni wasn't anything special, except with much less grease than everywhere else. Their veggie combo on the other hand was AMAZING! It's probably because they left out olives and had feta on there. Yum! They have a wide assortments of breads which are delicious and cheap! I'm never going back to Nugget to spend twice as much for a loaf of bread anymore. read more

I came here for the first time in years on a whim, and bought a slice of their pepperoni pizza. Slices are large, but the pizza was just okay. They do look really good in the display case, but they taste like normal CoHo pizza with a thinner and crispier crust. I don't think I'll be back here just for their pizza, because it honestly tastes like the usual delivery pizza and there wasn't anything in the pizza to suggest that I was eating "gourmet" pizza, which is what their sign advertises. Overall, A-OK in terms of pizza and service, but nothing spectacular here. read more

Fresh Asiago Cheese Loaves and Jalapeno Cheddar Loaves are KILLER!!! Get them from their store or at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. read more

Village Bakery is hands down my favorite pizza joint in town. It's a small bakery tucked away in downtown, right next to the Amtrak station. It's very easy to miss when you're walking around, which adds to its appeal since it's so quaint. It's definitely one of Davis's best kept secrets. You can order pizza by the slice here, and the prices are cheap! Cheese goes for $2.25 a slice, pepperoni is $2.50, and vegetarian (my favorite!!) is only $2.75. The slices are huge; one or two slices can easily fill you up for a meal. The vegetarian pizza comes complete with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, zucchinis, olives, and feta cheese. Mmm. The crust is thin and crispy... it's one of the best pizza crusts I've ever tried. You can also order their specialty pizzas (prices range from $14-16), but I've never ordered them before. They look really good, though! It's nice to come here on a sunny day where you can grab some pizza and eat outside in their seating area by the sidewalk. The store itself is very small (I believe it can only fit up to 5 customers inside), so most people either eat outside or take it to-go. Now that I won't be living in Davis anymore, I'm going to miss Village Bakery so badly (note to Village Bakery: please move to San Francisco!!). read more

I had an amazing scone at Scribbler's Cafe in Woodland recently and found out that they get them from Village Bakery. I had never really noticed the scones at Village Bakery before because there are so many other amazing things there that are more prominently showcased. The scones look rather humble in comparison. So I bought a scone this morning and warmed it in my toaster oven. It was sooooooooooo good. Lightly crisp exterior, tender crumb inside, generously portioned, perfect flavor and texture. I love scones but am usually disappointed by them if they are too sweet or too strongly flavored (cake disguised as scone), if they are too dry or too light (biscuit disguised as scone). I like the lightly sweet ones with delicious but subtle flavor, and that perfection of texture which is at once tender and substantial. This one hit the spot. Try one warmed with a mug of hot coffee. A perfect morning. read more

Bought a chocolate chip cookie and almond croissant here, and both were delicious and really inexpensive. The cookie was chewy and satisfied my chocolate craving with its abundance of chocolate chips. The croissant was nice and flaky, and I popped it in the oven for a few minutes to give it that extra oomph since I bought it later in the afternoon (I'm assuming the pastries are fresher in the morning). The girl behind the register was super friendly and patient (I took a while to decide what I wanted..everything looked so good). Might try their pizza and bread next time. Will definitely be back for more pastries! read more

The pizza was the best I had in a while, but the service was so horrible I have yet to be back. I know its not a sit down and eat place, but after waiting hours for a pizza, and checking on it a few times, they had misplaced our order and finally started it at the 2 hour mark. No apologies or anything. read more

Their pizza melts in my mouth. Mmmmm. I don't need delivery pizza any more - Village Bakery will give me my fix, carry-out style. It's good enough that I will lug myself out of my pjs and fascinating trashy reality TV show to go get it. There are lots of great choices, unique and traditional... everyone will find pizza to love at Village Bakery. Every pizza I have tried is delicious, even when they don't use red sauce (my addiction). They are the perfect end to a loooooong week. read more

Can you review a bakery if you only go in to get a cup of coffee while you wait for the train? Well I can for I am Hunter, yelper of bakeries and stuff. I asked for a cappuccino then cased the joint. It's about as big as my bedroom and has a few desserts behind the glass and about four shelves of bread on the wall behind the counter. Funny thing, I couldn't smell any bread. ??? It looked good but shouldn't fresh baked bread give off the aroma of... fresh bread. I thought that was weird. Then I got my coffee. Have you ever stared at some bird poop on the ground for about 30 seconds and then closed your eyes and seen the negative impression. You know, like a photo negative. No? Well try it and you'll know what my cap looked like. That happens when you fill the cup with milk first and then pour the shot of espresso in. It doesn't look pretty. And who does that? It's espresso first then milk foam, people. But I'm being overly critical. It didn't taste bad and I didn't even try what they are best known for-- the bread. The "Now comes in unscented" bread. read more

A little pricey for a slice of pizza but dang is it good pizza! They charge you for using your card if it's under a certain amount, so you've bee warned! I would come with cash and pop in and pop out. They have patio seating so it's a perfect place to grab a quick bite. Some people bring their dogs and chill out with a slice. Their slices are pretty hefty. I can definitely fill up on one slice unless I'm starving. They have good options but I always opt for their pepperoni. YUM. Their location has it's pros and cons. Pro's being that it's in downtown Davis, right next to the Amtrak station. If you're a student heading to Amtrak then perfect! You can eat before you take off. If you're not heading to Amtrak then parking is the absolute worst. I usually park at Amtrak since I'm usually grabbing a quick bite. Or if I'm meeting up with friends I'll park further in downtown and walk to a bar, grab a beer then head for some pizza. The service is pretty good. I'm not blown away by their cheerfulness but they get the job done. They also have aaaaamazing sweets. Their cinnamon rolls YASSS. It's like the only sell the best stuff here. The fresh bread, the cinnamon rolls and then pizza? Yeah I could live off their goodies. read more

Oh Village Bakery, I've missed you ever since I left Davis years ago, and on my way back to California from Jersey, I made a stop just for you! A slice of your veggie or Hawaiian pizza would have made my day, but you didn't sell slices at 10:30 in the morning. That's okay and I forgive you. Your moist Lemon Poppy Seed and Blueberry muffins helped subdue my pizza craving, but that was just a temporary fix. The craving is back, but alas you're once again out of reach. Seriously though--Village Bakery sells the best pizza in Davis. It may be more expensive, but hey, it's worth it. read more

This is part of my goal to try every restaurant in Davis before I graduate in the fall. I come here every so often to get a slice of their pizza. It's always good here and I don't think any other place in Davis can beat it, especially at the price they're selling it. read more

Pastries a little overpriced but delicious. Pizza reasonable and very good. This bakery is smalland not too many items but adorable. Great location and very close to the train station. Great place to stop for a quick snack while you're waiting. One of the most recognizable shops in downtown Davis. read more

Our go-to for pizza. The crust is really really good, ingredients are fresh, normally only takes about 20 minutes. We also love the lunch deal (slice of pizza, salad and drink). And for sure try their pastries. The lava cake is fantastic (heated) as well as the mousse cake. If you want the same pizza and a place to sit with the family go to Village Grill. If you want pizza, beer, and sports go to Pizza and Pints. Local owner so you'll probably see him hard at work at one of these 3! read more

The workers are super friendly! I ordered a whole artichoke pizza to split with a friend. We ate about half of it and took the rest home. The pizza was thin crust, but not crispy enough for my liking. This bakery is very small and only has seat for 4 people inside, but there are more tables outside. I overheard that they only bake half of their products onsite and it's only at 5 am. So if you want fresh baked goods, go in the morning! I would recommend others to try this place, but not necessarily come here that often. I'd rather go to Amici's in Vacaville for east coast style pizza. read more

My fiancé was coming in from San Francisco on Amtrak, I asked him to pick up a pizza on the way home to Woodland. He Yelped a pizza spot in Davis and Village was highly recommended. Since moving to Woodland we have been disappointed with the pizza's we have tried from around here. When my fiancé opened the pizza box I was surprised with the delicious looking pepperoni pizza!!!!!! It was big for the price, and looked delicious!!!!!! Lots of cheese and pepperoni !!!!! As soon as he placed the pizza on the table I could not wait to taste it!!! I took my first bite, it was soooo yummy!!! Yeah!! We have found our new pizza place!!!!! read more

Sometimes you wait for something and you get to daydream about it; the anticipation is better than the reality. That being said, this probably was the greasiest slice of pizza I've had since a Domino's Whiskey Night in '08. Not what I bargained for, kind of set my weekend up for a stomach rumble. read more

I'd been meaning to try Village Bakery for a long time, but for some reason never got around to it. Anyhoo, darling Sheirin suggested it for lunch and was I glad she did! Village just might end up being my exclusive pizza joint for my last few months in Davis :) Absolutely delicious thin crust pizza! I usually leave pizza crust rinds behind, but I just devoured the crust of Village's pizza. It was too yummy to leave on the plate! Eat there, love it, and thank me later for pointing you in the direction of Village for an afternoon slice of pizza pie (instead of the not as yummy Woodstock's a block away). read more

Dear god, this has some of the best food in Davis. The pizza is known to be good but also their bread as well. The desserts there are also some of the best. And they know we're college students so it's fairly cheap stuff. You can't go wrong here. How did I not discover this place until my 3rd year?? read more

Best pizza in town. It doesn't excite me to say that because there's clearly a bandwagon consensus that this is the best pizza in town and jumping on the tail end of a bandwagon is anathema to me. ME. The guy who watched nip/tuck for four episodes before anyone even knew where the f/x channel was then stopped watching as soon as anyone thought to form the words "hey this is a cool show." Ahead of the curve, I'm the trendsetter, you're the pathetic trend follower, ME. So you can imagine how painful it is for me to say that this is in fact, the best pizza in Davis, when so many others have said the same thing. Despite the immense injury to my coolness, I will get on here and state that this is the best pizza in Davis. Knowing that the least you can do is try it. read more

Best bread and Pizza in town! Try the walnut bread if there is any left in the store. Use it for cheese fondue. You won't regret it... The only reason I gave it a four was because I heard some rumblings that the owner is not always nice to his employees. read more

Village Bakery (only the Pizzas) Food: 5/5 Drinks: N/A The LOOK: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Rating: 4/5 My rating is only for the Pizzas. They are the best pizzas around. They sell them by the slice and also by the whole pizza. All in a nice hot stone oven. The pizzas always come out nice and crisp (even a little burnt, but in a good way) on the bottom and chewy on the top. I always go for the pepperoni (my litmus) and sometimes the veggie. If only I could eat village bakery pizzas every day, haven't actually had one in a long time since I just can't stop eating it when there is one in front of me, LOL. Great place for thin crust, specialty pizzas, served by some of the friendliest and cutest people (women and men) around. You gotta try it at least once. read more

I definitely think that the pizza at Village Bakery is better than Woodstock's. Before all of your Woodstock die-hard fan disagree with me, Village Bakery's pizza have a more classic taste and always tastes fresh. Woodstock's is more modern and can be a little dry. I have tried most of the pizza's at Village Bakery (just a slice or two) and I like every one. What I recommend: Margarita - fresh tomatoes, parmesan, basil, garlic, mozzarella Hawaiian - Canadian bacon and pineapple read more

BTW, my favorite pizza to get there: The garlic chicken with the white sauce, add mushrooms :) Over the summer, when I was taking Amtrak to work, I always grabbed breakfast there. Their ham and cheese croissants are to die for, although you prob don't want to think about how fatty they are. read more

Are you kidding me??? Amazing pizzas!!! I've been coming here for years. The first time I tried them was a halloween when they were giving away free slices to trick or treaters. What a concept! The food here is made with much care. Plenty of variety. To me, the crust is king. This pizza is best enjoyed outside at the tables...great for people watching. read more

Pizza is awesomely delicious! ANY one of them. Be warned though. I called for take once, it was a 45 minute wait for the pizza. I get there 5 minutes early to check to see if it would be finished early, but if not I could always just hang out there. I find that the pizza wasn't even made yet. I'm sure that only happens at peak hours though. read more

I've always seen this bakery across the street from one of my favorite places in Davis to buy shoes. And when I want a pastry in Davis, I usually go to the bakery near the post office. When I left Shuz and started walking to my car , I couldn't resist the smell of pizza so I had no choice but to check it out. Don't let the small size of the bakery fool you. I was very impressed with the Napoleon and their quiche. Most of the time I've had a Napoleon in Cali, the layers of puff pastry are flat,chewy and the pastry cream is not that creamy. This Napoleon was perfect! the layers of puff pastry were flaky, crisp and light. And the pastry cream was oh so good! Even though I was lured to this place by the aroma of pizza, I spied a green onion, cheddar and red potato quiche in the display case. Real men may not eat quiche, but they sure know how to bake them! I say that because I only saw men behind the counter. And they were very nice. Back to the quiche, YUM! The filling was substantial and flavorful. the crust was perfect- just the right thickness, not soggy on the bottom and thick and flaky around the edges! I am totally a fan of this bakery! read more

This place is by far my favorite pizza place in Davis. Their dough is fresh, and all their ingredients are bursting with flavor. I love their Mediterranean pizza. Their tomatoes are so good on their pizza, as well as their creamy feta. Their pizzas are a single standard size, ranging from $15-18. They are a good size for 2-4 people. They also sell their popular toppings by the slice if you want to stop by after lunch. They have a lot of other amazing baked goods too. Several varieties of bread, and well as pastries and desserts. In the afternoon some of their pastries- their delicious croissants for example- are only $1. They fly off the shelves, so check it out early if you craving something especially buttery. Love this place, they are great at their baking. read more

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN!!! Don't let the shabby interior fool you, the food there is excellent!! If you like thick crust and carb-filled pizza, it is certainly not for you. The pizza here is light, top with fresh ingredients, thin and chewy. This can be a life changing experience. Mmmmm... my pizza? fresh and colorful veggi topped with bits of savory blue cheese.......*drool* Dont miss out on dessert too.. I heartily recommend Tiramisu ( which i am having right now!) hmmmm, it is not too sweet like all dessert tends to be, the creamy and smooth mascapone cheese layered with coffee dipped lady fingers....HEAVEN.... read more

Good pizza and baked goods but long wait when they are busy. I've walked out many time because they are so slow. I'd imagine an extra counter hand would help during peak times. read more

Village Bakery - Waiting..... - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

OMG scone heaven! Now that I'm back in the area, I've rediscovered some other goodies at Village Bakery. The seasonal scone of the day is not to be missed. A slightly crunchy exterior gives way to a tender interior that's barely sweet. Sooo good. The blueberry scone (available daily) is a bit drier, if that's your cup of tea. read more

Instructions on how to eat their ham and cheese croissant: 1. Wake up early on a Saturday morning 2. Walk or bike (not drive, it's unnatural in Davis) to the Bakery's corner 3. Order a ham and cheese croissant 4. Eat it, sitting, walking, or standing outside, preferably with your eyes closed and a warm drink. Yum. I was going to make it four, not five stars, for running out of some items so early in the day but that just means that they must be doing a hell of a job. I can't knock them for that. HAM AND CHEESE. read more

One of the best pizzas I've had. Never disappoints. With cheese, pepperoni and veggie pizza available by the slice it is a terrific option for food on the go. The veggie pizza is my favorite with a selection of fresh vegetables and goats cheese on a thin crust. Delicious. read more
