Staff? AMAZING Atmosphere? AMAZING Food? AMAZING Everything was amazing from start to finish. The staff was so welcoming to my family and to my blue nose pit, Oso 🐾! The whole place felt like a Christmas Hallmark movie, especially with the live music playing in the background. We came prepared with our order list, and our waitress was incredible—she had our appetizers and drinks out within 10 minutes. All of our pizzas arrived right as we finished the appetizers, perfectly timed. I highly recommend the Margherita pizza; it’s my absolute favorite. Something about the dough here is just next-level delicious. Definitely recommend this spot.
Everytime we come to Tahoe we have to eat at Base Camp Pizza at least one time! They serve incredible pizza with a great ski town atmosphere. There is always live music and a stellar selection of different types of pizza and adult beverages.
Awesome place to get good pizza while in Tahoe. The atmosphere they create with the live entertainment is amazing. Highly recommend outdoor seating to enjoy the live music.
We checked out Basecamp Pizza Company tonight and it definitely lived up to the hype! We started with the cheesy bread and it was so good. Perfectly baked and loaded with flavor! We also ordered pizza, and it did not disappoint. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. They’ve got a great selection of craft beers on tap, which made it even better. Between the indoor seating, outdoor seating, bar area, and live music, the whole place just has an awesome vibe. It’s lively, fun, and the kind of spot you want to hang out at for a while. If you’re in the area, this is definitely a must-visit. Great food, great atmosphere, and a really fun experience all around!
The food was great, would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in town. My three friends and I ordered two apps (spinach & artichoke dip and buffalo wings) and two pizzas, one medium and one personal (shown below) and it was just the right amount of food for us. The drinks were really good as well. We were seated right next to the band so it was a bit loud and there was a mix up with our seating but our server was really funny and helpful.
This place lived up to the hype 100%. The food was super fresh—the spaghetti bolognese was amazing, the chicken baccon bbq pizza was on point, and the garlic bread really is as good as everyone says. Raven was our waitress and she was awesome—super friendly, professional, and just took great care of us the whole time. Made the whole experience a 10/10. Definitely coming back next time we’re in Tahoe.
A great experience at Lake Tahoe to have some good food. The restaurant has considerable amount of vegetarian options which I liked a lot. The pear pizza and spinach artichoke was really great. The ambience was really good, where they have indoor and outdoor dining. It was a little chill in March, but they have heaters to ensure safe spots outdoors. Plenty of music, good staff and service. Overall we enjoyed the experience.
Honestly speaking, not overrated. The pizza was a 9 1/2 out of 10. Super delicious. The crust had so much flavor with four cheese that is stringy and a very fresh. Red sauce was also sweet and a highlight. We got half base camp and I would highly suggest you try it too. Ethan the bartender helped us and was one of the coolest server we had. Very easy to get along with and had a good attitude.
The food was outstanding! Everything came out looking great and tasted even better. You can tell they really care about presentation and quality. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a great crust, fresh toppings, and tons of flavor. The service was just as impressive, the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Between the amazing food, great presentation, excellent service, and the fun atmosphere, this place is easily one of the best spots in South Lake Tahoe. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Base Camp Pizza Co.! It’s the perfect après-ski spot for any hungry family visiting Lake Tahoe. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and ideal for families. The pizza tastes authentic and homemade, made with high-quality ingredients that you can truly taste in every bite. Our pizzas were cooked to perfection — crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. The service was attentive and fast, even though the restaurant was busy. Yes, the wait time can sometimes be a challenge, especially during peak ski season, but the food is absolutely worth it. This is an excellent family-friendly spot, and we will definitely be back the next time we’re in Tahoe! Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious, authentic pizza in a fun and lively setting.
