Located in Heavenly Village, within walking distance of both Marriott properties. Seating available both indoors and outside on a patio. Their pizzas are amazing, the salads are large portions and one of out party had a wonderful pasta dish! Something for everyone, from kids to adults.

I had the Fire Roasted, husband had Thai chicken pizza. Both were excellent. Service was great. Would like to go back and sit outside, it was windy and cold but would be great during the summer time. Server was knowledgable about the offered beers. A little pricey, but so is everything in Tahoe.

It was fantastic food! The pizzas are amazing and there are plenty to choose from for every taste! The spinach artichoke dip was so good that we cleaned out the entire dish (with forks!) The service was also very good and they had outdoor entertainment several evenings. Would definitely go again!

The pizza, beer, and service is absolutely NOT to be missed. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable; the beer selection is great, and the local beer is definitely wonderful (with great guidance by the knowledgable staff); and the pizza was absolutely awesome. In our group, we tried the Mediterranean, Base Camp Pizza, Fire Medley, and the amazing Pear/Gorgonzola... and... More

I was pretty disappointed with the pizza here. I had high hopes due to the glowing reviews, so was surprised at how bland it actually was. I definitely would not eat here again.

I read the reviews so I had to stop by and try it.. but It's not that great as reviews sounded like. Sitting area was too tight and the space was kinda loud so I couldn't hear what my friends was saying. However I think it's really good after a long day of skiing to have a good Pizza. I... More

I recently returned from a week vacation in South Lake Tahoe. We stayed at the Marriott Timber Lodge which is conveniently located only a few steps from Base Camp Pizza! It was such an awesome restaurant we ate there 3 times during the week. Not only is the food amazing but the staff is without a doubt the friendliest, most... More
