Who We Are

The Original Pizza Factory Experience

Pizza factory started as a small dream — a belief that pizza should be more than just food. It should be an experience. Founded in Placerville, CA, our pizza factory has been serving bold, handcrafted pizzas to families, friends, and food lovers across United States for over two decades.

Every pie that comes out of our kitchen is built on the same foundation: fresh ingredients, time-honored recipes, and an unwavering commitment to quality. From our signature dough — proofed for 48 hours — to our hand-crushed tomato sauce and artisan toppings, every detail matters at pizzafactory.

  • Fresh dough prepared daily, never frozen
  • Locally sourced produce and premium cheeses
  • Wood-fired ovens at over 800°F for the perfect crust
  • Family-friendly dining and fast delivery across United States
