Food scene

Pioneer pizza is an amazing mom-and-pop restaurant that also has a bar attached. This is a great place to stop at for lunch or dinner when heading up to Lassen, any of the lakes, or just a drive through the mountains to see the snow! The food is fresh, and the pizza sauce is an old family recipe to die for! The dough is fluffy and delicious. They also have cauliflower crust for those that are gluten-free. For burger options, they serve impossible burgers and black bean veggie Patties. The staff is very outgoing and kind. Very clean dining room, bathroom, and kitchen. The whole restaurant was remodeled a year ago and still looks brand new.

Reed's is one of the few places to eat in Shingletown. Classic burgers, sandwiches, and salads are located inside Reeds Market.  If you need to do any shopping, do your order at the grill first so it'll be ready when you leave! Massive fan of the salads here, they use leafy greens, not icebergs, and the portion is enormous! The burgers are amazing, and the onion rings are a must-try!!!
