When you order olives and mushrooms, for example, you get BIG slices of black olives and giant mushrooms. Makes it that much more flavorful, IMHO. —KalenRidenour

2005-06-02 18:22:47   I think Lamppost Pizza offers the best pizza quality wise, although the pepperoni can get kind of greasy. The size of the pizza/$ isn't the best deal, but their pizza's taste so good that it's worth spending some extra money. And the big screens do give a nice atmosphere when playoffs arrives. —BenLee

2005-06-06 00:12:05   Greasiest pepperoni ever, but I guess it works. —RohiniJasavala

2005-07-17 15:52:52   Until recently, they didn't have evening access to the bathrooms. This place can get quite crowded with Little Leaguers. —NoelBruening

2006-01-30 17:40:27   Their pizzas are a bit on the expensive side, but you can always find coupons for them in the PennySaver. I actually prefer Lamppost to Woodstock's, as shocking as that may be. —CarolynVerDuin

2006-03-05 18:31:10   I don't suggest fundraising with Lamppost Pizza because you don't get your check back soon. I fundraised there in Dec. '05 with an organization and we still have not received our check. —ChristineBui

2006-06-22 03:33:33   They have green olives! Yes! —DudeNude

2006-08-22 11:40:46   this is the best pizza in town. if they were located in downtown, they i bet they will easily beat woodstock's. i would have never known about this place if i didn't live right behind it. the only toppings i get is white garlic sauce with chicken and mushrooms. try this combination and you will never want to eat pizza anywhere else. the only problem is that they count chicken as two toppings and they also charge for the creamy garlic sauce even though you're not getting the tomato sauce. therefore, it can get pricey, but i always use their buy one pizza get one for $1 coupon so i can get two pizzas for under 20 bucks. Also they give you a lot of big slices of chicken so i guess its not too bad. They're flat screen tv's are awesome and they have whatever game you wanna watch. Dining area reminds me of most round table pizza's, large with comfortable seating. employees are young and cool. —PorkFoo

2006-09-14 15:39:09   Their pizza is good and the staff is nice. My favorite part about this place is they sell dough balls! You can get get a medium, large, or X-large dough ball for a cheap price and make your own pizza. The dough is QUITE good. —RathyMarie

2006-10-15 12:55:59   In their favor, this is the best pizza out of the places I've been in Davis. Pricey, though. My "gripe" is that although they advertise having the NFL Ticket, the employees don't know how to use it. The person working there said the manager is the only one who knows how to set it up, and since he wasn't there they could only show one game on all the screens. Two customers in the whole place, and one of them (me) ended up leaving. —TonyBraim

2006-10-16 10:27:02   Me, my boyfriend, and all the party-goers who come over to our place, LOVE this pizza! —RichardBobo

2007-02-25 21:04:34   Service was excellent. Came in on a rainy Saturday night past closing and they were very friendly and accomodating. Love the plasma tvs. —TerencePhan

2007-05-09 00:36:06   EXPENSIVE. Food is small-portioned and not that tasty. Wait time is long considering the fact that we were the only people there. Service is alright, although they didn't mention the 10% discount with student ID... —MikeHubby

2007-05-09 13:22:37   This is my favorite pizza-for-delivery place in Davis. That's not saying much, mind you, but it's something. —DanLawyer

2007-06-08 17:03:07   I can't believe the comments about this place - the pizza is TERRIBLE, as is everything else I've ever gotten here - I've been here twice, and went with a group of people the second time (big mistake), and everyone thought it was gross. Learned my lesson, though - will NEVER go back. If you're in the area and want good food, go to the mexican place - its cheap and excellent. —AcMach

2007-07-11 10:52:00   Grossly overpriced...You can get an order of breadsticka from Steve's pizza that are twice as good for literally half the price. Also, their sandwiches are a rip off...a small sandwickhwith barely any meat that comes with a salad on the side will run you upwards of $8. They should make the salad optional and charge $5 for the sandwich alone like other places. I will never eat here again, although it is a decent place to watch a game and drink some brew. —MikeJones

2007-07-19 18:45:11   About 10 years ago they had the best turkey sandwich —dickjones

2007-09-09 21:29:27   It's Sunday, and you've got a hankerin' for pizza. But Village Bakery is closed. Symposium is closed. What to do?? Lamppost Pizza is a fine alternative. While I wouldn't say it was amazing pizza, the bread was good, the sauce was good (the place where a lot of pizzas fail) and the toppings were fresh. I'd definitely get it again. As a nice bonus, it was prepared quickly. —CovertProfessor

2007-09-23 20:07:42   This place has the best pizza but must have the smallest delivery area in Davis. They won't deliver past the 80 freeway and they won't deliver past Pole Line Rd. That means if you live in one of the Wildhorse, Mace Ranch, or any other large neighborhood, you won't be able to get your pizza delivered. Seems like a bad business decision to me - especially with so many other delivery options available. —HenWeigh

• No, it means if you're on the complete opposite side of Davis at this place, you're SOL. Look, Lamppost is as west as Davis can get. It's about exactly 4 miles to Pole Line. Most places in general don't go over 4 to 5 miles. It's just unlucky placement for them or you (depending how you see it). A bad business decision is doing 7, 8, 9 mile deliveries on city roads with all the stoplights and (evening) traffic, and stopsigns off of the major streets.. Not sure what other options they have, if you're referring to other pizza places - compare the location.
  

2007-10-05 02:39:52   I used to work here, and hated every minute of it. That being said, fresh out of the oven, it is one of the best tasting pizzas in Davis —DCWine

2007-10-08 11:33:39   Great hand tossed pizza, I will say to the people that say bad things about the pizza here 9you were raised on crap pizza so you don't know what good pizza taste like if do not like try again and then go back to what you are used to little Caesars" and see what you are missing) Lampost is great pizza and i am proud to eat here and will do so until i can't thank you lampost —Brians

2007-10-12 17:39:39   decent pizza, especially wiht green olives...mmm has anyone tried their burgers? or fries? —YooHyunOak

2008-07-07 17:29:44   The calzone is a great deal for under $8, and you get to choose 4 toppings at that price. I generally go chicken, bacon, and creamy garlic sauce. mmmmmmm.... —JoePomidor

2008-09-07 22:08:30   great service, good food, 20% discount on their website! —renee415

2008-11-24 22:02:19   Best Hawaiian style pizza ever! They are a bit expensive, but honestly it's worth it. I prefer their Hawaiian over the kinds types I have tried there (combo and meat lovers). The people who work there are also very nice. I have tried the calzone, and I did not like it only because the cheese on the outside kept falling off. Overall, best pizza in town. —Kiran

2009-01-10 17:25:17   Got a Super Aggie burger from here and no complaints. It was a bit pricey, but good food nonetheless. —AlexChiang

2009-03-16 22:02:41   Expensive...but ORGASMIC pizza. I tried a slice at a party once, and am still craving more of their delicious garlicky-cheese. MMM. —BrookeB

2009-04-03 15:00:24   The place was kinda dead last time I was in there. No vibe, just felt sort of sad. They seem to have nice TVs though, so maybe I'll be back for a sporting event one of these days. The food was more than decent. Love their buffalo wings... not too slimy or sour. —ChonT

2009-05-08 19:36:55   hella bomb. Medium is pretty big. —RealComputers

2009-07-23 10:23:16   I just heard that Lamppost is moving to the Howard Johnson's location out by Mace. The notice I received said 'moving'. Is this true? Or is it an additional location? —MattCzarnowski

• If it's true, they're gonna have to do a lot of work. That place is basically an empty shell right now, and I haven't seen any new work done on it for at least six months. Still, if they did move, taht would be very convenient for me! —JoePomidor
  

2009-07-23 13:10:13   They used to have an additional location on Chiles Road, on the other side of Mace. I'm not sure when it closed but I think I was there in 2000 or 2001. —NickSchmalenberger

2009-10-02 13:53:45   Lamppost pizza is your basic hometown pizzeria, with high prices. An extra large pizza will run you 25 dollars, before tax. They have some deals during the week, but all the deals still require you to spend over 20 bucks. Steves and Woodstocks do the same, but their pizzas are a little cheaper and they have better student discounts. Also, not unlike all restaurants at Westlake plaza, Lamppost is usually near empty and has zero vibe to it. How does anything stay in business in this plaza? —JakeJames

2009-10-27 14:31:46   I tried the pizza here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. I've got to agree with most of the other comments: it's pricey, but some of the best pizza in town.

I just checked on their prices for pizza dough: $1 for a small, $2 for med., $3 for large, and $4 for extra large. This seems roughly comparable to the Nugget's house-made dough (frozen), which runs somewhere around $3.50 for enough dough for a 16" pizza. I'm going to give it a spin tonight, so we'll see how it compares! —TomGarberson

2009-11-13 17:09:17   I have never ordered anything from Lamppost that I haven't loved! Their pizzas are really good, I love their pepperoni, though it is rather greasy. They also do really nice salads and their online ordering makes things really easy. —ReeseLayton
