About
Welcome to Bicycle Thief, a culinary gem nestled at 122 E Main St, Grass Valley, CA. This charming eatery has quickly made a name for itself in the local food scene, becoming a favorite among pizza lovers and culinary explorers alike.
What sets Bicycle Thief apart is not just the quality of its dishes but the passion that shines through every bite. As Tyson Brown so aptly noted, "the pizzas were spot on," and it’s easy to see why. Customers rave about the meticulously crafted pizzas, made with high-quality flour that elevates the dough far above the standard offerings found in chains. The skillful balance of flavors is evident in standout creations like the Bee Thousand, which boasts a delightful sweet spice, and the Phoenix, featuring a blend of white sauce, pistachios, red onion, and a zesty touch of lemon.

The atmosphere of Bicycle Thief also contributes to its allure. Guests can enjoy a cozy, inviting space that strikes a balance between casual dining and a chic urban vibe, as noted by Alyssa Keys. This makes it the perfect spot for both a casual dinner with friends or a special evening out. While the back room may get a bit lively, the option for seamless online ordering allows diners to enjoy their meal in the comfort of their homes if they prefer.
In short, Bicycle Thief is more than just a pizza place; it’s a celebration of flavors, quality ingredients, and a warm atmosphere that beckons you to come back time and time again. Plan your visit and prepare to indulge in one of the finest culinary experiences that Nevada County has to offer.
“ The pizzas were spot on and the salads were flavorful and dressed perfectly. The line out the door says more than my review. Thank you for the great meal and evening. ”
“ Delicious pizza! You can really tell that they put a lot of love into their dough and use high-quality flour, rather than the typical American flour used by many pizza chains. We ordered the Phoenix and Bee Thousand pizzas, both of which were amazing, but I particularly favored the sweet spice of the Bee Thousand. I love that they make traditional Italian white pizzas with olive oil as a base instead of using ranch like other pizza places do. When a pizza is this good, it feels almost insulting to pair it with ranch! ”
“ This place is a gem. The pizza is INCREDIBLE. Like, absolute perfection. I even finish every bite of crust because it's that good. I particularly love the Phoenix, which has white sauce, pistachios, red onion, and lemon zest. The indoor ambiance is really beautiful and cozy. The back room can get a little loud, if you are sensitive to noise, but their online ordering is so seamless, that we usually take the pizza to go. Can't recommend enough!! Best pizza in Nevada County by far. ”
“ Mind blowing flavors, excellent service. Feels fancy like you’re in a city ...yet casual and comfortable. Everything we ate was perfection. So thankful for a new amazing place to enjoy a meal and connect with friends! ”
“ The veggie dishes were amazing. Do not miss out on these, pizza was good, thin and crispy crust. ”
“ What an amazing pizza! We’re so excited that this new pizza joint has opened up in downtown Grass Valley. As soon as you walk in, staff is there to greet you into a gorgeous restaurant with a large bar seating area, retro vibes, and colorful decor that is so welcoming. I walked in with a two-party table on a Friday night, and was seated immediately. But soon after we sat, all available spots, including at the bar, were filled up. Would definitely recommend a reservation for a Friday or Saturday night. They had a nice selection of wines and beers, and the menu is short and sweet. We had wine, meatballs, broccolini, and a Bee Thousand pizza. For dessert we had a lemon sorbet. The pizza was AMAZING! Excellent crust, great flavors, delicious toppings. We absolutely love the broccolini as well, would definitely order that again. The meatballs were really really flavorful and came with a portion of five meatballs. Dessert was tasty, they have big selection of sherbet and sorbet but there were only a couple of options left by the time we ordered dessert. ”
“ Best corn on the cob I have ever had in my life. Everything on the menu is top notch; the salads are refreshing and unique, the pizza and sauces are tasty; the mint ice cream tastes of real mint. Also great selection of local craft brews. Put this on your list! ”
“ Great addition to Grass Valley! Had the Joe pizza..love the parm! Plenty of wine to choose from - not just beer! Great ice cream! They are located next to Enriques lounge.. They don't have any visible signage yet except on the door so don't pass up this hidden slice of paradise! They open at 4pm ( see my pics for hours). UPSCALE yet casual. ”
