Red’s Pizzeria & Taphouse - Rocklin, California

I chose this place because of the high reviews. It did not disappoint. The pizza was extremely delicious. The servers were very friendly! They have rules about what you can add to the pizza in order to ensure that the pizza comes out correct. I did a create your own with Pomodoro Sauce, Pepperoni, onion, and garlic, and I loved it. The onion came out cooked perfectly from the oven, and the pepperonis were crispy little cups. The pomodoro red sauce was amazing. We ordered a side of it to dip our crusts in, and it was amazing. The crusts had a perfect crunch to them. I would definitely come back to have more of this amazing pizza and try their other menu items.

I'm not a big fan of pizza, but my husband loves pizza and saw so many good reviews on this place. So I decided to try this pizza place and it is great. Their hand-made pizza dough is amazing. The place is a bit small but friendly service and good portion.

Disappointed for sure…. We called ahead of time around 4:45pm and ordered 3 pizzas to be ready by 6:40pm. We got there early at 6 and asked if they could get them started earlier if they were able to. They said they could it would take 20min. We picked up the pizza 20min and went home. The reason why it was so disappointing is because the flavor of their pizza is fantastic…. But it was not fresh…. They clearly made the pizza some time after we called because the pizza was barely warm, it was not fresh, so the “20 min” they said it would take to cook, it was already cooked. And if they try and say otherwise, they’re definitely lying because we order pizza often and it is not like that. Really sucks because again the flavor was amazing, but it was pretty much lukewarm warm and the amount of money you spend on these pizzas. I would at least say don’t order ahead of time if you’re going to get pizza for takeout. I won’t be going back though.

I tried Reds for the first time last night on a recommendation and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint!!

There was a slight mishap with our order and the immediately went above and beyond to make it more than right.

I had the Chef's Favorite and a Pepperoni, add peppers. Kudos to the chef because the Chef's Facorite is probably the best pizza I've ever had in my life. wow.

10/10 recommend Red's! I will be going back.

if planning to sit inside, expect a little wait.

that's it and that's all. I hope whoever reads this goes and tries it!

I can't quite figure out why they named it Red's, but who cares once you realize it's not your run-of-the-mill pizza spot. Chef Cory is turning pizza crust into his personal canvas, elevating the whole pizza game. Next visit, I'm definitely trying the Birria pizza. It's like they've magically transformed Birria taco flavors into pizza form. But you know what impressed me even more than the food? The staff. They're super well-trained and genuinely passionate about both the food and taking care of customers. With my years of restaurant experience, I can tell you, that's a direct reflection of the owner.

I hate to leave such great reviews, because this place doesn't need anymore business. Definitely a hidden gem. Food quality and flavor top notch! Great beer selection. Meatballs are out of this world, pizza crust is perfection. We will be back.

We arrived, where told we would wait for 10-15 min. Ended up waiting 27 min. Once seated, no one approached us for 11 min. Once they finally came, it was to offer water and than we waited and additional 6 min for waitress Mary T to come say hi, told us she would only take the drinks and come back for the order of the food even though we where ready, came back 4 min later. We ordered one pizza and an order of starter wings for my pregnant wife and I to share. A couple that sat 9 min after us got their food before us, at the at the 23 min mark I started to look bothered and asked what was going on. Mary had no answer, left and came back 6 min later bringing the pizza, and told us there was a mix up and if we still wanted the wings, we would have to wait another 10 to 15 min. At this point I was pretty upset and due to my wife being pregnant I decided we should wait the extra time because it would take more time walking out and getting food somewhere else. Mary then brought the wing 5 min later. And didn’t bring the dressing, she disappeared so I had to flag someone else down. When it comes to the food, completely over rated. The pizza wasn’t good and the wings where dry, perhaps because they cooked them for so long or perhaps because I was so upset but really, not good at all. They did not comp anything after this horrible service. Brought us the check, everything looked good, when I got up to pay because no one was collecting the card, they charged me for an additional beer that was not mine, so look out, they might be getting people like that. At this point I just wanted to leave, yet, they had me wait to refund the beer. Needless to say I will never go back to this place.

Headed in on a Sunday around 6pm and this place was slammed. Found a spot at the bar and wanted to try something new. Went with the Nobel Prize worthy Black & Tan Bbq Bird Pizza. This facehugger of a pizza has creamy BBQ sauce, garlic confit, bacon, fresh pineapple, chicken, torn mozzarella, Parmesan, roasted habanero slices, and crispy onions. So good and so many layers of flavor and the pineapple balances the spicy habanero and the salt. Highly recommend!

Great food, great staff, tasty beer. Went with the 3x Mushroom Pizza and a glass of Army of Frogs Hazy IPA. Both did not disappoint. Hit that pizza with a little red pepper flake action and life is good. Absolutely will be going back.
