The Dog & Bear Tavern

We went here on Valentine’s Day, but have been here before. There was a short list of specials, oysters, chocolate covered strawberries, and a few others. We got the truffle coppa pizza, the poutine (OMG), the oysters, and chocolate covered strawberries. It was all really good, and the service was great! We sat at the bar and our bartender was super nice and sociable. The prices are a bit high, but given the quality and the service we will be back.

Dog and Bear Tavern totally surprised me—in the best way. I had a hard cider and their apricot, prosciutto, and arugula pizza with white sauce… and let me just say: next world level. Absolutely amazeballs. The flavor combo was unreal, and the crust? Perfection. The staff were super friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local vibe that makes you feel right at home. A must-visit if you’re in the area and craving something delicious with heart.

Arguably the best pizza in all of Tahoe—the ingredients are top shelf, and the combination of flavors work together harmoniously. I love everything on the menu from their Caesar salad to their meat lovers pizza. As mentioned by others, their pizzas aren’t all made of the traditional run-of-the-mill ingredients. Some of the more notable callouts include truffle oil, duck confit, & kimchi (not all on the same pizza). The staff is amazing, and the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between upscale & unpretentious. The clientele is a nice mix of locals & tourists, and newcomers & regulars are welcomed alike.

Interesting place, nice relaxed atmosphere, very very nice helpful staff. Tried the "Pig and Peach" pizza. It was freaking amazing. One of handful of best pizzas I have ever enjoyed.

The service was top notch, the pizza was some of the best that I have had, and the rest of the menu (ahi tuna, short rib, homemade ice cream) are all.terrific. They also have a great list of craft beers and very good wine. This place is an under rated gem.

Found this great gem while staying in West Shore , “The Best Shore”. Pizza was delicious. I though it was going to be a full bar it was only beer and wine. No biggie, it was all good. A must visit and fyi they have other dishes than pizza, will be back to try them.
