I haven't found a pizza place I love yet, so I'd be interesting in seeing some feedback too.

I know Round Table has an all-you-can eat lunch buffet that's a pretty good deal.

Round table is good, but having worked there before I wouldn't trust them with my food.

Lately I have been going to Papa Murphy's take n bake. $14.95 for the largest and it doesnt take long at all.

Also, I heard Blue Moon's pizza in the Lakeside plaza is a local favorite. But I have never had there pie's.

Awsome that your moving up. Personally, I think that JJ's off of 5th st is the best in town.

I really liked Black Rock Pizza on Pyramid, but its more for the interesting toppings pizza. For good ol' regular pizza, I've really only ate at Round Table.

Slap my head, I totally forgot about Blue Moon Pizza. They have one called the Tahoe that uses a white sauce and a chicken topping, delicious.

Shawn - re: round table, it's not the ingredients, it's the handling that may be questionable right?

+1 For Nu Yalk. It's my favorite. I had JJs a few days ago and I wasn't that impressed?

I like Z-Pizza. It's on Vista and Prater. They have a lot of topping similar to California Kitchen Pizza.

TRUE......Z-Pizza is good, but can't stand up to Nu Yalk!

Costco, bang for buck is the best you can do. However, if you are in Lake Tahoe, the Lake Tahoe Pizza Company has been the place to die for for about 10 years. They make a Chicken Garlic pizza thats great.

Roundtable Has always been at the top of my list here in Reno.. Even though there was a really good Italian family owned pizza place in Vegas that was just to die for .. lol


My vote for the cheapest pizza = Little Caesar's

Are you talking about the Lake Tahoe Pizza Company that was at Tahoe City, on the lake? Because if so, that place burned down last year. I went looking for it in January, and couldn't find it, and had to stop and ask where it went.

That was Lakehouse Pizza and yes it did burn. The building was red tagged and the owner walked away from it. I have not heard of it opening again.

I worked at a Mom and Pop pizza take out during high school. They were Italian immigrants.

I learned all the prep work that went into great pizza, spaghetti, antipasto, etc. After being spoiled with this incredible quality, truly Italian cuisine, it is really tough to be impressed with commercially available pizza.

I used to eat at the Atlantis's restaurant before their buffet opened. Their pizza is awesome.

To me Round Table is too greasy and expensive.

I was having lunch at Pirates Pizza one day. I saw lots of people doing take out. I hear it is awesome. I had a salad and a sandwich. Oops!

I would love to find a locally owned Italian Deli/Pizza joint in this town.

Pizza is my weakness. I can eat an entire large and then some. Some of you have seen me eat! LOL!

Costco isn't bad. I shop there often and get my pizza fix a slice at a time!

Lakehouse was at highway 28 and Grove Street, in Tahoe City. If you drove any further east on Grove, you would be in Lake Tahoe.
