On a night we planned on eating at the Lotus Pub, but they were closed, we crossed the river and were happy to find Whitewater Pizza open. We ordered food to eat in, had a couple of beers, and the pizza came out promptly. It was good, and we ordered more than we could eat, supplying ourselves with lunch for rafting the next day. They have what looks like a fantastic patio, too bad it was Fall, cool and dark. Next year we plan on doing the Chili Bar run first and stopping at Whitewater for lunch in our trip. A note: I know we were there close to closing. But when we went up and ordered the person taking our order looked hurried and made us feel hurried. Someone else was sweeping the dining room. The food came our REALLY fast, and as we were finishing someone else was turning off televisions. And it wasn't closing time. We felt rushed. Bummer. read more

Great pizza joint, good music, great service with Kevin, and most importantly yummy pizza! We had the Meat grinder and Trouble maker pizzas. Crust was crispy and perfectly cooked! So yummy The outside patio was perfect, overlooking the river and cool misters to keep away the summer heat. Definitely will come back! read more

Sometimes the best finds are those you happen on by chance. That's what we discovered when we were driving about in Lotus and found Whitewater Pizza Co. This quaint pizza eatery is right on the water. Has seating inside and on their patio area. Name a pizza you desire and you should find it on their menu along with other samplings from soup to chili. The staff is kind and courteous. Whitewater is pet-friendly and their staff apparently loves to see pups on their patio area. We ordered a chili, small pepperoni pizza, a soda and three waters. Their chili is flavorful with beef and bits of sausage. The pepperoni pizza was cooked to perfection. A crispy crust and flavorful. When you can wander yourself over to Whitewater Pizza and enjoy a delicious meal near nature...you won't be disappointed in this little slice of Heaven! read more

THE GOOD: My grandson's child's pizza was good. My caprese salad (skewer) was fresh and good. THE BAD: My husband's chicken wings tasted old and inedible. read more

A solid pizza - nothing to ogle over, but after being in a raft or hiking all day it checks all the boxes. Their Strawberry Shortcake is unassumingly delicious. Not a standard version, by my book, but would definitely have again. 1/5 on presentation, but 5/5 on taste. Would come back again, after trying other places in the area. read more

My family and I order from this place on a consistent basis, and conveniently down the street from our house. Every time we visit, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only bad experience I have had here was when I arrived and they hadn't called to tell me they burnt my pizza and then asked me if I would like them to make another one as if I'd want to pay for a burnt one? That was the only encounter I wasn't too happy about but everything here has always been great for me. Their outside patio views are impeccable, and this is definitely a prime location for any restaurant. The pizza here is also always really good, some pizza's are not as good the next day as others, and I've personally only noticed that with their white sauce pizzas because get all glue like although that could be because of how I'm reheating it. Their bbq chicken is my tried and true, if you are ever craving a pizza and in the area, give this place a try! The other plus is the they have an arcade so you can enjoy games, views, good beer and good pizza! Ambiance: 8.5/10 Service:9/10 Food: 8.7/10 read more

Long wait times, pizza was burnt, hard and difficult to chew. The flavor combination on the BBQ Chicken Pizza was good, however the crust ruined its potential. We spent time in the arcade only to lose money on machines that didn't operate correctly. Take the family somewhere else . read more

Pizza was terrible. Too long of a wait also. Would not go again. Sorry but it's mediocre at best.

Went here with a large group and this place is super well suited for that. A ton of seating especially outside which gives you a great view of the river. Place also has Cornhole and inside there are TVs which were on soccer and baseball. Place has a solid beer list on tap of some local brews which is always appreciated. Also a really solid list of wine and canned beer. Favorite pizza of the group was definitely the buffalo chicken but mine personally was the southfork pork. Some pineapple haters in the group though. Pizza was great and had a great dinner. read more

Food-- Amazing!! People-- so friendly and generous!!Perfect place to hit up post rafting!! This place is perfect way to end a great day. Service is awesome 100/10 read more

Delicious pizza!! We were actually kind of blown away. We got one with pulled pork, pineapple and white sauce. It was fantastic! Great crust, tons of toppings and original creations. Minus one star for ambiance. The patio overlooking the river is massive, but kinda neglected. Such great potential, I hope they utilize it better. read more

Boy what a disappointment... went again expecting the same great service and pizza and both fell way short. Staff didn't care, and the $30 pizza had barely any toppings. I guess they are ok losing business from the locals. Bummer. read more

Really good pizza! We called ahead to order 2 pizzas on a Sunday afternoon and it took about 30 minutes for the pizza. They have 2 sizes, small and large. We ordered 2 of the small ones. I always order with no cheese so I am usually disappointed as they don't add extra veggies to make up for the lack of cheese. But I was not disappointed here! Flavor was great. We got 2 small 3 topping pizzas and it came to $30 Employees were nice, plenty of parking and indoor seating available read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. We got the bbq chicken pizza but they were out of chicken so we subbed pepperoni instead and the flavor was so good. The service was pretty slow, which for us wasn't an issue since we weren't on a time crunch or anything. We went the day after the 4th of July and it looked like they might have been short on staff, but the team there was really nice and helpful. They were out of a few things like chicken, fountain drinks, etc. Also not a huge deal for us since they had lots of options for wine and beer but if you have any picky eaters this might be an issue. The outdoor patio is gigantic and a great place to sit to watch the river and the rafters go through. We will definitely be going back and hopefully the slow service was just a fluke that day. Even if it's normally slower, the pizza is well worth the wait! read more

The pizza was beautiful. Looked right out of a art room. The topping were evenly placed and the drizzle was nice. Odd to say but i've eaten plenty of pizza in my day an none looked as good as this one. You had a bit of each topping in each bite. No all clumped up. The pizza flavor however was just okay. The owner was very nice and so was the staff. They also had a musician doing live music. read more

I'm a local and I've bought pizza here at least a half dozen times since the new owners bought the pizza place from Squallys. You obviously cannot beat the location since there isn't much around Lotus, and in general the pizza is quite good. I'm writing this review because I want this place to succeed, because it's nice to have a pizza place so close by. I already complained to the workers at the restaurant but alas the problem still exists...STOP BURNING MY PIZZA! It would be different if it just happened once or twice but I think I've only had about 2-3 pizzas that were not burned out of at least 10-12 pies I've bought. Some are burned worse than others... Ive attached pictures of my latest pie which is only moderately burned this time. Anyway, I'm not going to stop going because I really hope this problem gets fixed. It's good pizza when it's not burned. I'll be happy to remove this review after a few times of my pizza being cooked correctly. You have to turn the pizza as you cook it! read more

Have eaten here multiple times over the last 5 years, mainly arriving with visiting out-of-town family members, and it NEVER disappoints. Just ate there again very recently with a large group, and they absolutely maintain their status as the best pizza in the region. So good! Great selection of craft beers to sample as well. The river views and access are a legitimate bonus. Overall, just a fantastic place! read more

Tonight we had our first pizzas at Whitewater Pizza Company, and they were utterly delicious! So excited to have pizza of this caliber, and so close to home. The crust was so delicious, the toppings are amazing, and the pizza was cooked perfectly. 500 stars from us! read more

This is the perfect place to stop if you're in this area and you're hungry for pizza.

We love this place! Our family has been continuing to come back here for some time now. Very clean and friendly environment. Service is top notch especially from one particular manager, Brian who has gone above and beyond for us. If you haven't been here yet trust me it's way worth it. Lastly beautiful views from the back deck overlooking the river. read more

Yummy! The staff at Whitewater Pizza went out of their way to be sure we had a great night and wonderful meal tonight. My son turned 13 years old and the baker came out personally to offer an extra dessert along with well wishes. Yes, they are known for pizza and BBQ, but don't forget a lot dessert! We loves the strawberry cake and cookie pie a La mode. Thanks, Whitewater! read more

Went with a big party. Had local beer on tap. Pizza was excellent. Service was spot on. Nothing but good things to say about this place.

I don't leave reviews unless businesses are either outstanding or terrible. I'm afraid this one falls in the second category. I'm somewhat of a local, I visit/drive through the area often and pizza is my favorite food group, so naturally I make a point to stop by any pizza places on the way. I'm willing to give businesses many chances before I decide to cross them off my list, too. I tried Whitewater Pizza for the first time last year with a few friends... it took forever to get the pie and the prices are steep, but whatever... we were having a great time and there was outdoor seating, so no big deal. When I received my pie, about 80% of it was burned. The second time I went, my pepperoni pizza was extremely greasy, but I bloated it with a paper napkin and shrugged it off. It's just pizza! Whatever. The third time I went, just last week, I got a combo: my pie was burned AND greasy! I picked it up and I was able to squeeze the grease off with my fingers. It was so bad that my husband and I didn't even finish the pizza... if you know us, that says it all; I would NEVER not finish a pizza pie. Aaaaanyway... I cannot believe I'm going to say this about pizza... any pizza... but the best way to describe what I ate is: gross. Do yourself a favor and drive 10 minutes to Cool instead. read more

Wonderful friendly service! I have allergies, and the staff was accommodating and did a wonderful job of making me a delicious gluten free dairy free pizza and did it with kindness and care. We will definitely be back when we're back in the area! Thank you Whitewater Pizza Co.! read more

10/4/23 Wife and I were camping at Coloma Resort, we had been to whitewater pizza last year and were very pleased with the food and service. Walked in and greeted promptly, ordered a lg. combination and a pitcher normal wait time about 30 min. Pizza was delicious, thanks to Dave. We noticed that they had wings and asked about them for our next order which would be Saturday. Was told by staff shouldn't be a problem also suggested to us to call our order in around noon or 1pm for pickup around 6pm Saturday 10/7/23. It's Saturday I called about 2pm and was informed by Cruse the shift manager that he couldn't take the order as it wasn't the policy to take phone orders 4 hrs early, we were also told that they were out of wings. We were told to come in around 5 and place the order which we did. Come to find out Cruse wasn't there and staff informed me that it is not policy to refuse an early phone order. The young lady working the register took our order, 5 lg. pizzas asked about wings and were told that they had 5 or 6 bags in the back. Had been there all day. We got our pizzas and wings service again was great. Wings were delicious. So now my question to the owner.... Why do you allow your manager to give out such misinformation to your customers? We hope you resolve this and give the evening staff our highest compliments for a job well done. As for Cruse I'm thinking you know what to do. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Fun outdoor space to accommodate a big last minute walk-in and they made SO much food for us last minute. Sid handled it all like a pro!!

Terrible service and obscene prices. The first person didnt know how big the pizzas were, when I asked if anyone else might she flat out said no and wouldnt ask anyone. Finally I asked for someone else and the new person, Mia(?), lied, saying the pizza is 16 inches wide, which it is not. For the record, their "large" is 12 inches, which is a huge drop in size from a 16 inch wide pizza(remember to multiply by pi 3.14, so they actually lied about 12+ square inches of pizza). When I saw it was $34 for a one topping "large" 12" pizza that should be $15-$20 tops I got out of there. There is plenty of food in this area that wont gouge and lie to you, I recommend looking around before coming here. read more
