I got an apple scone, and in the words of Gordan Ramsey, ITS ******* BURNT! I guess it's easy to miss, because I did not notice until I bit into it. What a shame. The veggie pizza was really good though. You win some, you lose some. read more

the eclair was bomb and the veggie pizza is so good both were $5.50 and the pizza was fresh so I got lucky on that read more

Best Pizza in Sacramento area by far. Traditional NY style. A little light on sauce, but on my second trip (only a week apart and I normally don't eat carbs) I got extra sauce and it was perfect. It takes no longer than 20 minutes. It's the best kept secret in pizza. If they had a dining room, it'd probably be packed. read more

I order at least 6 THICK SLICED sourdough loaves about every 3 weeks to share with my family and friends. Every one loves this bread. The guys that takes my order earlier in the day is always AMAZING, the other ones late in the evening SUCK! Stop asking for my credit card over the phone, I'm not giving it to you! I ALWAYS pick up and pay for my loaves at the store. Other than that, I really love the freshness of there sourdough loaves and baguettes. They are also at the Davis farmers market on Saturdays. They don't have thick sliced, you have to pre-order it at least 24hrs ahead of time. It's just a small shop, nothing special, but they do have pastries and pizza before you jump on the amtrak behind the building. read more

HAVE AGAIN: The chocolate eclair was delicious but at $5.25 for one?

Best rosemary rolls over Thanksgiving!! Your rolls made the day even happier -- yummy savory and just perfect !!

Taste and options and customer service was exceptional!! We had the pizza and the scone and they were fabulous!!

Best pizza in town ! by the slice, no place to sit really but coming from Brooklyn NY this Pizza is closest to a NY slice you can find in Davis read more

Cool little place on the corner . Fresh croissants and deserts . Other drinks offered as well. There are a few seats but pretty much to should take it to go. Great selection of fresh breads too. read more

Good pizza and baked goods (4/5 green stars) The Village Bakery is one of the first places you'll see when you get off an Amtrak train, so it's a very convenient pit-stop before or after a trip. Nice outdoor seating with shade. The man at the counter and the chef/owner were both friendly and helpful. I had a slice of the veggie pizza ($3.50) and a mixed berry scone ($2.50). All the food looked appetizing - they had some good-looking eclairs and cream puffs but I tried to exercise some self-control ;) The selection of veggies on pizza was great: nicely caramelized onions, zucchini, peppers, etc. Not too heavy on sauce or cheese. Most of the cheese was feta, which really worked well with the veggies. The scone was really delicious: crumbly and light, dusted with icing sugar and animated with the flavor of blackberries and blueberries. I'm giving the Village Bakery 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: * They use local fruit and veggies when possible and everything made in house. * For the pizza, they use olive oil for the crust (unlike some other pizza places). Olive oil is generally a sustainable product. * They source organic tomatoes for the pizza sauce when in season / affordable. * For the bakery side, their dairy comes from Crystal Creamery. From what I've read I'd place them somewhere in the middle - not nearly as good as an organic creamery like Strauss, not as bad as Dean Foods (Berkeley Farms). * Not much waste generation - the pizza is served on a paper plate and bakery items in a paper bags. Unbleached, recycled paper would be an improvement. I think the utensils and lids were conventional plastic. * Two out of the three pizzas on sale were vegetarian. Ever written a green star review? Please contact me if you have done so, or if you'd like to know more! read more

Great pizza slices hot fast and a good price too love the veggie slice lots of bakery items to choose from as well

my husband's favorite pizza and my whole family's favorite bread! always smells so good there :)

Look, I've never been to NY, so I can't speak on their pizza. I also haven't tried that many pizzas, as I tend to stick with what I like. But this is the best pizza that I've ever had. They got the dough recipe figured out. It's simple, gets the job done. Thin and crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside. Not too doughy to the point where I'm eating bread. Just good pizza. Whenever I'm headed to Tahoe from the bay, I make a pit stop here to grab a slice or two. I'm always skeptical that nostalgia skews my view in a favorable light, but I just had them again this past weekend and they still hold up. Don't ever change, Village Bakery. Side note, I find grabbing slices at this location to be better than their sit down spot. I think the pizza gets a little more time in the oven here. read more

Delicious pizza makes up for everything being take out. Pastries looked great, something worth trying next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Love Village Bakery! I have been coming here since I was young and it's always delicious. We used to come for lunch in HS for their pizza and a soda deal which I'm not sure what it is now but was always reasonable. The veggie pizza is by far my favorite. Plus their desserts and breads are great too. They have a garlic loaf that is super flavorful and great for anything but we use it with fondue. read more

The best bakery in Davis by a mile! Their baguettes are the best and we have been buying them at the Davis Foods Coop for years now. Since the pandemic started, we go straight to the source and call ahead to make sure they have some - and they kindly will hold us a couple to pick up. They are so authentic - nice crisp exterior and good bite. Not fluffy and overly soft like you get at some supermarkets. My husband is European and can close his eyes and swear that this baguette is as good as anything in Europe. Super happy that it's always consistent, always good and oh yeah, their pizza and desserts are to die for (esp. the eclairs, which are my krytonite. I cannot resist them and am normally not a big fan of cream desserts. But my God, one bite and I am hooked). read more

This is my favorite pizza in Davis! They do pizza by the slice and whole pies, check them out. Their fresh bread is good too.

The pizza is same level of quality and care as fast food joint. Basically is all about profit margin based on low price point. Garbage. The bread is as mediocre. read more

Grew up in Davis. I refuse to come home without at least one trip to Village Bakery. Best veggie pizza in the world.

Ammmmmazing food service and ambiance a bonus with the beautiful and friendly staff .

I've had their pizza before. I've always known that their pizzas are really greasy but chose to ignore it because it is conveniently located next to the train station. If you're in a rush and are heading out of town, you can grab a slice of pizza to go and eat it on the Amtrak. I was craving some pizza and decided to grab a couple of slices of their pepperoni pizza here. I don't know if the quality of their pizza has significantly diminished or today was just an off day but the pizza was pretty burnt on the bottom. It tasted really bitter and like charcoal. Honestly, eating burn dough is really unappetizing and pretty bad for your health because those burnt pieces are carcinogenic. On top of the burnt pizza, I noticed that the cashier was dealing with the money transaction and din't bother to put on gloves to grab my slices of pizza. Yes, he used the wax paper but I noticed that his thumb went right on top of the crust which is pretty disgusting. Handling money and coins makes your hands pretty dirty. I think it is gross that he touched the pizza with his hands. Oh yah, I forgot, the woman who was baking goods didn't even acknowledge that I was there. She didn't even bother to call the cashier so I ended up waiting for a couple of minutes. I understand that she doesn't deal with the food orders but come on, she could have said something to her co-worker to inform him/her that a customer was in the shop ready to order. Instead, she just ignored my existence. I had a pretty disappointing experience. I don't think I'll ever come back. read more

Village Bakery - Burnt pizza bottom. I had to pick all that off. - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

Cute Little bakery that is located right next to the Amtrak's downtown, which is convenient for grabbing a quick something before you jump on the train. Been here in the past and I have gotten a whole pizza for my Hawaiian pizza family challenge and we have also have had their pastries and bread's.. We have tried the Napoleon, fruit tart, creampuff, strawberry & cream roll and eclair desserts which we loved. The pizza that we got here was really really delicious, we got Hawaiian pizza which had Canadian bacon and pineapples. And for $19 it was the biggest pizza and the best value out of our challenge, it was a close 2nd to 1st for us for taste. The breads there made fresh and super tasty. The staff there are super friendly knowledgable and patient with you. A great place to just grab a bite have a snack by yourself or with a friend or family. Recommend place by me. read more

Village Bakery in Davis is a small little place that could be easily passed by. It's located across the street from the train station. If you don't go to the train station often or weren't looking for Village Bakery, it's not a place you'd probably find. But that would be too bad, because Village Bakery is a an excellent place to go if you're in the mood for some fresh bread or pizza. Village Bakery is a tiny place where people in the know go to get their bread. They have a variety of breads to choose from and have even supplied larger grocery stores with their baked goods. Their breads are definitely legit, and a good reason to check out Village Bakery. If you're not looking to refill your supply of bread at home, Village Bakery does offer whole pizza pies or pizza by the slice. And this is the reason I stop by Village Bakery. You'll see the place where they keep the pizza right when you walk in the door. The pizza is hot and fresh and ready to served. You can select cheese, pepperoni, or veggie. I typically get pepperoni and one of the other two depending on my mood. The pizza at Village Bakery is great with the main star of the pizza being the lighter and airier crust. It definitely elevates their pizzas a little above the competition. Not many places offer pizza by the slice, but Village Bakery is one of them. If you're in Davis and in the mood for pizza, Village Bakery is an affordable and tasty place to fill up! Then you can get some bread to take home afterwards too! read more

This is a tiny place right next to the Davis Amtrak. You will walk right past it if you aren't looking for it. This is more of a grab-and-go place, though there are a few tables outside. If you want to dine in, go to their dine-in location across from the theater on G Street. Ordered a chicken brick oven pizza during our visit. It was absolutely delicious! We split the pizza amongst three people and were extremely full afterwards. I wish they sold their gourmet pizzas by the slice, not just the basic ones. Gourmet pizzas are freshly made so the wait may be around 10-15 minutes. This place is a bit pricey for pizza, but worth it every once in awhile since it is a nice change from your chain pizza places! read more

Village Bakery - Chicken brick oven pizza - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

Village Bakery is a short, 10-minute bike ride from campus, and given its outward appearance, I didn't expect very much. The storefront is tiny - it's just a counter with a kitchen in the back and there are a few tables designated for customers on the outside patio. The patio seating offers a nice view of the historic Davis Amtrak station. When I actually got inside, I could see fresh-baked loaves of bread on the shelves behind the counter, a case of pastries, and a display of pizza slices (cheese, pepperoni, or veggie). I got the veggie pizza for lunch ($3.50 per slice), and I enjoyed it! The thin crust was soft yet chewy. I liked how they didn't suffocate the pizza with too much mozzarella and instead let the zucchini, mushroom, feta, onions and bell peppers speak for themselves. Overall, very tasty and enjoyable. I only wish that the pizza had been hot - it had been sitting out for a little while, so the cheese was on its way to the rubbery stage. Note: They'll charge you an additional $0.50 if you pay with Visa or MasterCard for orders under $10. read more

Village Bakery - A slice of veggie pizza ($3.50 including tax, as of November 2016) - Bakeries Near Me - Davis, California

The pizza is excellent especially for the price. By the slice or not I could eat this pizza 5 times a week. One thing I would say though is that it's not a cheap option considering only having one $ and although I haven't tried the pastries they are on the higher side when it comes to price read more

The place is a bit tiny, and can be hard to miss if you don't know where it is or you don't have GPS but don't let that keep you from going. The workers are down to earth and friendly. I'd say since it is a small shop it can tend to be hot in there but to get some food you should definitely stop by to check it out. I always like coming by here when I'm in town or passing through. The veggie pizza has always been tasty for years since the veggies are well cooked, the feta provides a nice salt component, and the balance of the flavors is awesome. I'll swing by again for sure when I'm on the road passing through or in town again. read more

Incredible bread; yummy pizza; tasty breakfast bites. This unassuming shop did not disappoint. We went twice to make sure we picked up more and froze the items when we got home. read more

Best pizza place in Davis hands down! I've ordered takeout from them about 5 times now and the quality is always spot on. The cheese to sauce to toppings ratio is perfect and the crust is to die for. You get a bit of char from the flames and it just adds so much flavor. My favorite pizzas from here are margarita, chicken, and surprisingly veggie. The veggie pizza here is the best I've had anywhere! Would highly recommend trying it. Desserts are also amazing, I love the eclairs and tiramisu(although tiramisu has a lot of coffee in it, not good for kids) read more

The service was quick and pleasant. The pizzas are great! We tried the sausage and highly recommend it!

I decided to finally try this place after I came across it looking for the best pizza places in Davis. I got two slices and dug in. Overall, they were flavorful and I especially liked the veggie slice. However, they were a bit stale and didn't really stand out significantly from any pizza I've had in the past. That being said, they were pretty filling and I can see myself going back in the future. read more

My wife is from New York and very picky about pizza...she loves Village Bakery and very few other places!

Pizza is good! Pastries are expensive and subpar. Paid almost $12 for 2 pastries and threw them both away without finishing them. The calories were not worth eating for such subpar pastries. I got the eclair and chocolate lava cake. read more

I've heard this is the best pizza in Davis. After trying the MV pizza, one could argue they are right. Nice young man answering the phone and taking orders. Pickup easy. Will come again read more

This place is located at the edge of DT Davis by the Amtrak station. The pizza here is quite tasty. The crust is crispy while the dough still has a nice tug to it. The only thing I didn't like is that they don't add enough cheese. Prices are reasonable and the slices are good sized. Service was super quick since they have slices ready to serve. Good spot for a quick snack! Food: 4/5 Value: 3.75/5 Service: 3.75/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

First time at this bakery and when asking if they had walnut rolls(which a sign shows they did) the guy would answer with a hard NO!!! Any asked questions was answered rudely! Needless to say we don't live here and made a special stop! Guess we won't do buying there again!!! read more

Went in for a slice or 2 which we ate in the car and promptly went back for a whole pie! S-o-o-o good from the crust to the sauce to the cheese. The desserts are to die for and the artisan breads are top-notch. This is our #1choice over its competition. read more

This is a tiny mom n pop bakery, LOTS of people coming in for single slice if pizza. They also have a small selection of baked goodies as well. I ordered the gluten free artichoke which had olives & goat cheese. It looked beautiful....but then I SMELLED it!. I had to get it to go, imagine the torture of driving 20 minutes with the most amazing aroma from a pizza you have ever experienced in 50+ years. I'm usually not a fan of olives, but this combo was brilliant. Oh, and the staff, kind and welcoming. You won't be disappointed, this bakery is a gem...at least for the pizza. read more
