Blondies New York Pizza Co. sits right in the heart of Davis with the kind of casual energy that makes it easy to spend an afternoon or evening here with your dog. The outdoor patio is genuinely dog-friendly, with colorful umbrellas overhead and large brick fireplaces that make the space feel relaxed rather than cramped. You can watch the Davis street action while your dog settles beside your table.

The pizza and Italian food are legitimately good—the kind of straightforward, well-executed New York style that doesn’t need to apologize for itself. Their strombolis come hot and stuffed, and the pasta dishes hit that home-cooked comfort note. If you’re hungry but undecided, you won’t go wrong, and the kitchen handles both quick walk-ins and bigger groups without drama.

What makes Blondies worth the trip with your dog goes beyond just the patio access. There’s actually a lot happening here. The sports bar runs NFL, MLB, and college games across multiple HD screens, so if you’re the type who wants to catch a Saturday game while your dog dozes nearby, it’s genuinely set up for that. They run weekly entertainment too—trivia nights, karaoke, live bands, DJs—which means the vibe changes depending on when you visit. The all-ages game room with arcade games gives you something to do if the patio crowd gets thick or you need a break.

They stock a solid beer selection including local choices, top-shelf liquor, and wine from nearby Yolo County wineries. It’s not pretentious about any of it, which fits the whole Davis vibe. They can handle groups up to 50 people if you’re thinking about bringing a bunch of friends with their dogs, and walk-ins are always welcome. The brick fireplaces warm things up on cooler evenings, so you’re not sitting outside uncomfortably even in shoulder seasons.
