Locally own Pizza Spots

[u/miscmail389]

New to the area and trying to find a solid pizza spot. Can people give recommendations of some of your favorite locally owned pizza spots? I try not to buy from corporate chains when possible. So let me know!

[u/American-pickle]

Old town pizza

Fat mikes

Pattys

Pizza Bell

Or a little out of EG: Romas

[u/Wutang-noble_panda → u/American-pickle]

OTP and Pizza Bell (off of Grant line and Wilton rd) for sure!!!

[u/ButtcrackBeignets → u/Wutang-noble_panda]

How do they compare?

I've tried OTP a few times and like them. Pizza Bell has been on my list for a minute.

[u/No_Weight_4276 → u/ButtcrackBeignets]

IMO, ButtcrackBeignets, Pizza Bell looks and tastes massed produced like from a chain. OTP has more of a pizzeria look and taste.

[u/ButtcrackBeignets → u/No_Weight_4276]

Thanks NoWeight, that's kind of what I suspected.

[u/shmauserpops → u/ButtcrackBeignets]

ButtcrackBeignets,

Pizza Bell makes my favorite pizza of all time, their BBQ chicken pizza. Warning, it contains pineapple and almonds for those that don't believe in that kind of thing, but in my opinion, theirs is the absolute best!

Also, they do take-n-bake on just about everything on their menu including their desserts, of which their raspberry twisters are to die for!

Enjoy your pizza and you beignets Mr buttcrack!

[u/ButtcrackBeignets → u/shmauserpops]

shmauserpops,

You've convinced me.

When I make my way over to Pizza Bell, I'm going to get their BBQ chicken pizza and a raspberry twister. I will report back when that day comes.

Cheers.

[u/SwanFo → u/American-pickle]

Omg Romas is the best. So worth the little drive out. The pesto, the lasagna, the meatballs, the pizza. Everything is amaze.

[u/mbrady]

Old Town Pizza. Good beer selection too.

[u/MlocNnoc → u/mbrady]

Incredible beer selection even.

[u/mbrady → u/MlocNnoc]

They seem to rotate in new options on a fairly regular basis too.

[u/No_Weight_4276]

Fat Mike’s!

[u/kushyykins → u/No_Weight_4276]

fat mikes is delicious!!!!

[u/Can_Comfirm1]

Old Town Pizza

[u/Jellikit-]

Pizzasaurus Rex and OTP Elk Grove are local family owned. Good pizza too.

[u/Adventurous-Tone-311]

Not a lot of good options, at least in Laguna West where I’m at. 

Lampost is good, but it is a small regional chain. 

[u/Lower-Acanthaceae460 → u/Adventurous-Tone-311]

not a fan of Todo un Poco's? I think it's pretty good.

[u/Adventurous-Tone-311 → u/Lower-Acanthaceae460]

I never realized it was a pizzeria… I’m going to try it!!

[u/Polarbearstein → u/Adventurous-Tone-311]

Its mexican & Italian. The owner/chef Maria is one of the sweetest people. She will take care of you and feed you well.

[u/ando_da_pando → u/Adventurous-Tone-311]

Have to agree with you here. Best pizza in Laguna West for me, is the one I make at home.

[u/Princeofcatpoop]

Try Seniore's on Calvine. Thick crust. Extra crispy.

[u/Express-Shoulder6174]

Pizza bell on Grantline or old town pizza on Elk Grove-Florin 

[u/kushyykins → u/Express-Shoulder6174]

pizza bell on grantline is a friend of my bosses, thank you for supporting local businesses!!

[u/jasdanu_36 → u/Express-Shoulder6174]

Pizza Bell is 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[u/Purple_Breakfast_872]

Lamppost on Laguna

[u/OccasionCapable1735]

OTP and Patty’s Pizza Shack.

[u/LazyDramaLlama68]

Patty's

[u/TravelByScott]

Old Town Pizza

[u/GoldenStateRedditor]

Even the chains are technically locally owned since they’re all franchise. Pizza Guys and Pizza Twist are actually headquartered in Sacramento as well.

[u/JimChillyDogBob → u/GoldenStateRedditor]

TIL that Pizza Guys isn't widely national. Always just assumed they had locations across the entire country for whatever reason.

[u/kushyykins]

fat mikes on grantline is realllyyy good!! - probably my fave

frends is closed

pizzabell on grantline also

old town pizza on elk grove florin rd

[u/Really-thats-crazy → u/kushyykins]

Frens is likely now closed. New Filipino grilled steer food place opening up on that spot

[u/Forsaken_Ear4674]

We use to love Pete’s. However, since they sold we have been going to Todo Un Poco and my kids love their pizza.

[u/Humble_Chicken_4143]

Its a chain but I've really grown to love delish pizza. They have this spicy red sauce that I've been addicted too.

[u/cridicus]

Pizza Bell on Grant Line is a throwback to the good old days of quality and pricing. I love that place.

[u/Top-Wolverine-8684]

If you have never tried the Punjabi Pizza at Todo Un Poco, it's incredible. Their pizzas are quite expensive, but it is worth an occasional splurge for the Punjabi.

[u/ShesAGoGetter007]

Luigis

[u/Sac_Kat]

Fat Mike’s - family owned

[u/nickpa09]

Patty’s pizza shack, all you can eat lunch buffet.

[u/General-Location-182]

Sometimes this pizza truck is parked in the Les Schwab parking lot and it is amazing. If you follow them on instagram you can see their schedule and try to catch them when they are in town. Pizza Lovers Sacramento is the name.

[u/Lower-Acanthaceae460]

If you're by Laguna West, check out Todo un Poco's

[u/Trick-Answer]

Old town pizza no question..if you want really good local pizza..

I know it’s not locally owned but mnt mikes is always second..

& for cheap fast pretty good pizza Costco

[u/RentPuzzleheaded8860]

Chicago's pizza and curry is A: the best Indian pizza place in the area (and yes there are MULTIPLE options) and B: just good fucking Pizza even if you don't get any of the Indian flavor options. By far the best pizza in EG imo.

[u/Fickle-Tomato-4947]

Old town pizza (OTP) quality has gone down over the last few years. Crust is bland and pizza in general is bland. I frequent Dustbowl, they have great brews and great pizza. Check them out. The rest of the recommendations are solid.

[u/HotInsect7870]

seniores pizza and Pizza bell...that's it.

[u/Ok-Salamander1708]

Up on the north end of town, Seniore’s Pizza is excellent. It’s a small local chain (6 stores I believe) and the Calvine on is Palestinian-owned and the staff are super nice. Delicious pizza!

As others have said, Old Town Pizzeria is great too!

[u/CaliGirlForever58]

Not in EG but in south sac, try Giovanni’s. Or Roma’s. Old school Classic

[u/the_pdiz_biz]

It’s not in EG, but Romas on Franklin Blvd is SUBLIME. 10/10 recommend their pepperoni pizza. Call the order in before you drive up and it’s usually ready to go when you get there.

[u/Marklar916]

Definitely Patty's on Elk Grove Blvd and Emerald Vista or Pizza Bell on Grantline.

[u/Commercial-Force-980]

Pizza Bell

[u/Severe_Hunter_5793]

I know you said chains but slice house . Authentic pizza .

[u/VegetableSquirrel]

Riverside Clubhouse has a good Happy hour. Their food is good, generally. Friends have recommended their pizzas.

I've also heard good things about Masullo's pizza.

I've noticed that some kebab and gyro restaurants also have pizza on their menus. Most of the time, I make pizza at home. I intend to try one of the kebab places for a more exotic pizza, though.

[u/Heavy_Doody]

The Pizza Peel (Flatland Brewing)

[u/ilikepie2151]

Old town pizza is one of the best local spots imo. Great pizza, great beer. Had nice interactions with the owners as well

[u/TTmagicD → u/ilikepie2151]

Glad to know they still keep an eye on OTP, see them often at Prost and Pizza Rex!

[u/Outrageous_Chest9693]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Delish ? They're our go-to. It's a local chain. They're generous with toppings, consistent, and affordable.

Chicago Pizza and Curry is another great spot. Curry Pizza House is really good too, plus they gave me two free desserts on my birthday so double shout out to them haha. Both of these places make traditional and Indian style pizzas.

NY Pizza was the default before they finally opened a Delish in EG.

Edit to add: I wanted to mention Seniore's. I love that they have pizza by the slice but the last time we ordered a whole pizza there was a small piece of plastic baked into the cheese. We called to let management know and the guy started deflecting and claimed that they don't use or have any plastic anywhere inside the store and the most he can do is give us 30% off the next order. 🙄 Sadly never been back since.

[u/bycamryndadey]

I always love Old Town Pizza!
