Judy was great! She was extremely sweet and went above and beyond. She even brought water out for our dog. The pizza was also great. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Heard good things about this place. Must have been family members of the owner. They’re open only 3 days a week for 3 hours… I know. It’s ludicrous. I’ve called them multiple times on three different days they are open. Not once have I talked to a human.I’m not saying they have bad pizza - I can’t because they won’t let me try it. What I am saying is whoever runs this small business needs replacing yesterday. Just read on yelp that if they don’t answer the phone it’s because they’re out of dough. What a sorry excuse… you’re open 9 hours a week! If you don’t have dough for that CLOSE YOURE DOORS. Even today, in this country, I’m shocked at how certain businesses are run.

Certified east coast! If I closed my eyes, I'd think I was in New York. Pizza is great, the people that own and work here are even more amazing.

Originally from NJ so good (NY/NJ pizza) is hard to come across in Reno but this place gets it right! Sure, its a little pricier but you taste it in the quality PLUS love supporting small businesses! Absolutely my go-to here in Reno.

Not sure how I feel about this pizza place. The reviews are amazing but I was not all that impressed. The pizza was good but definitely not the best I've had in town. I ordered a margarita pizza and received a cheese pizza with a few basil leaves on it. That was pretty disappointing. And the price, wow oh wow. $60+ for only two pizzas?! Absolutely ridiculous. Probably won't be returning here any time soon.

What an amazing find. The pizza is delicious. The owners and staff are wonderful people. You can tell they put their hearts into their work. The pizza is definitely made with love. I will absolutely make the trip for this incredible pizza.Make sure you call early and keep trying to you get through. It's worth the effort.

My best friend and I were driving through Reno on our way to Sacramento and found this absolute gem via Google. I called at 3pm and they were kind enough to reserve a pizza for us for pickup at 7:30pm, even though they were supposed to close at 7. When we picked up the pizza, we were greeted outside by the nicest woman who let us use their restroom and clean up a bit while we waited for our pizza.The pizza was delicious. The perfect way to finish the last leg of our road trip.I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area. However, be sure to call right at 3pm to reserve yours. They sell out fast!

Thank you Walter and Judy for sharing your amazing pizza, kindness and customer service with the community. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed your pizza’s (Thank you Josh) and will definitely be coming back for more. We highly recommend Smiling with Hope Pizza to any one who enjoys a top quality pizza with fresh ingredients cooked to perfection.

I love this pizza! If I could I would be eating this a few times a week. The Sicilian is about the closest I've gotten out west to the pizza I grew up with in Connecticut. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Absolutely amazing pizza. Great location with plenty of parking. Get a pizza then go to Windy Hill with a great view.
