Groundling Pizza Co.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give six stars I would. The pizza is incredible, with a perfect wood-fired crust and fresh toppings. The salads are just as good, which is rare for a pizza place. Friendly staff and a chill atmosphere make it even better. The craft beer selection from local breweries was the perfect complement. The owner, Danny, was super nice and personally brought out our food. A string band was playing and made the night even more special. Sitting by the river was amazing, especially with the sun setting behind the bridge. Humming birds even flew right up to the table. Easily the best meal I’ve had in Gold Beach.

We traveled out here from Arkansas for vacation. While we’ve been pretty successful with finding good food, this one made it to the top of the list immediately. This is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’ve seen a lot of talk in the other reviews regarding the s’mores calzone. If you visit this restaurant, getting that is a requirement. I would 100% fly back out here just for this pizza.

Pizza was very tasty. Location on Rogue River beautiful views. One waitress great, warm and welcoming. Bartender very surly and clearly hated what she was doing. Outdoor seating area pretty much self serve.

The original peperoni and added fresh basil Crust: great fermented flavor. The texture was chewy and glutinous, with a moist interior and crunchy and crisp undercarriage. The blackening was evenly distributed and delicious Sauce: tomato sauce was robust, could have been even more so. The sauce was rather light in terms of viscosity, but it was in good pairing with the lightness of the crust. Peperoni: achieved wonderful crispness on the edges and staying chewy and meaty in the middle. Great compliment to the sauce and crust Cheese: the cheese did break and cause an oil spill on the pizza, which is common but can be prevented. Overall it was a good ratio of cheese to the rest of the pizza. I wish the cheese had a more unique flavor. Either in freshness or in type of milk. Overall, this was great pizza. I would get it again, and I would maybe even try another type of I’m sure adding hot honey would be super fire as well.

I saw someone else's recommendation of this pizza place, and I agree that it was definitely worth it. They have usual and tasty new pizza combinations. The Groundling Margarita was the perfect spicy margarita. We also had free dinner entertainment as the local fishermen cleaned their day's catch and fed the seals. It was a great dinner experience.

Drove an hour out of the way (both directions) to get here, totally worth it. They are pumping out some top notch wood fired pizzas and don't get me started on the Smores calzone!! 💥💥🙌🏼 I've made thousands of pizzas and calzones and never thought of or saw that coming. I was skeptical but WoW so good! A place for improvement would be the pizza making process. Because the oven is in the front of the house, the customers watch and see everything. Maybe make sure the pizza chefs aren’t eating ingredients or playing with their phones with the same gloves on in-between pizzas. unfortunately, it looks like a cold was going around so there was a lot of nose wiping or what we used to call "silver sleeves." Also too many flies, had to constantly swat them away from our delicious food. So, great pizza here just need to tighten up staff hygiene.

I came here because of the reviews, and WOW, everyone is right!!!! This pizza is second to none. The "no shame" pizza with added prosciutto was literally addictive. And the service....let me TELL YOU about the service! We called to find out if they would be open for 4th of July. They were not, but actually and politely took the time to tell me exactly were we should go to eat and enjoy the fireworks. Then, when I came back today, they rolled out the red carpet for me! This place was PACKED! THE PHOTO I am uploading has all the people erased for privacy, but it was bar room only. The pizza meistro came and took my order and made suggestions..I feel so cared for by these folks. My service dog laid quietly at my feet, but there is an outdoor patio for furry friends if needed. The atmosphere is delightful with a beautiful view of the river, light music, gentle chatter, and the crew serving us all with love. Truly a destination restaurant. Thank you!!!!!

This pizza is oh-my-god AMAZING! Wood fired perfection with perfect sauce and cheeses. Try a few and then come back the next night and try a few more. Super chill relaxed and fun atmosphere. It was our first visit to Gold Beach and this will be our first stop WHEN we return.Thanks Sam!
