Good pizza and baked goods (4/5 green stars) The Village Bakery is one of the first places you’ll see when you get off an Amtrak train, so it’s a very convenient pit-stop before or after a trip. Nice outdoor seating with shade. The man at the counter and the chef/owner were both friendly and helpful. I had a slice of the veggie pizza ($3.50) and a mixed berry scone ($2.50). All the food looked appetizing – they had some good-looking eclairs and cream puffs but I tried to exercise some self-control ;) The selection of veggies on pizza was great: nicely caramelized onions, zucchini, peppers, etc. Not too heavy on sauce or cheese. Most of the cheese was feta, which really worked well with the veggies. The scone was really delicious: crumbly and light, dusted with icing sugar and animated with the flavor of blackberries and blueberries. I’m giving the Village Bakery 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • They use local fruit and veggies when possible and everything made in house. • For the pizza, they use olive oil for the crust (unlike some other pizza places). Olive oil is generally a sustainable product. • They source organic tomatoes for the pizza sauce when in season / affordable. • For the bakery side, their dairy comes from Crystal Creamery. From what I’ve read I’d place them somewhere in the middle – not nearly as good as an organic creamery like Strauss, not as bad as Dean Foods (Berkeley Farms). • Not much waste generation – the pizza is served on a paper plate and bakery items in a paper bags. Unbleached, recycled paper would be an improvement. I think the utensils and lids were conventional plastic. • Two out of the three pizzas on sale were vegetarian. Ever written a green star review? Please contact me if you have done so, or if you’d like to know more!

Delicious quickstop whenever Im in the area. I love their ready to eat slices of pizza, best baked breads, and the pastries are pretty good too. I really like their tiramisu and will randomly crave a piece. Its just a good local spot to grab a quick bite or you can order whole pizza pies. Definitely check out their selection of breads too. Sometimes, they will have deals which makes the bread a must get.

Hand thrown, yeast dough, baked in an old fashions wood fired oven. Excellent sauce and toppings that compliment each other. If you would like to recreate the taste at home, (sans, the wood fire oven), they have rolled out and par-baked dough that they freeze for you to take home. One bite of that pizza crust, perfectly tender, with a yeasty chew and you will see why it is the best pizza in town.

Probably my favorite pizza in Davis. Not thin crust but not deep dish either. Ive spent a decent amount of time driving around looking for parking near here in the evening - leave earlier, get lucky, or be prepared to hike. Worth the trouble though.

Pizza was ok, well priced for a single slice. Nice my dog could go in, patio seating. Nothing special about the food, but great if youre on a budget, or walking the dog and get nibbly. :)

I really like the atmosphere! The pizza is very good (also, they let you put up to four types of pizza on a single pie!). The prices are reasonable and the portions are large.

This place is always a great quick place to grab a slice of pizza before hopping on Amtrak. After 5pm, their pastries are $1 but they run out quickly!

Local corner pizza shop and bakery. Everything handmade. If youre looking for a quick slice or a sweet snack, this is your spot!

Some of the best pizza in town! Omly a few seats inside but not bad considering they have their own restaurant on G st.

Best asiago cheese bread ever! Vegetarian pizza is the bomb. ( always ate in , never delivery so cant speak to that)

In a town with a lot of good pizzas, Village has the most genuine NY style pie. Good price, and nice people, too.

Best pizza in Davis. Also handy place to go when you just need a slice of something.

Delicious pastry! I got the cinnamon roll and a tiramisu and loved it.
