Sonoma Pizza Co. has a sprawling patio that wraps around the front of the building on Front Street—the kind of space where you can sit with your dog and actually feel like you’re part of the action rather than relegated to a back corner. The patio is partially covered and heated with overhead lamps, so even on cooler Sonoma County evenings, you won’t be shivering while waiting for your pizza. The wood-fired oven sits visible from the dining area, and the whole setup has that casual, unpretentious vibe that defines Forestville.

Dogs are welcome on the patio and can stay with you the entire time. The staff brings water bowls without you having to ask, and they’re genuinely friendly about having dogs around—no eye-rolling or reluctant accommodation. The menu is straightforward California-style pizza with quality toppings, plus salads and other wood-fired items if you want something beyond pizza. Portions are generous, and the wine list is solid without being pretentious.

Front Street in Forestville is a compact, walkable strip, and Sonoma Pizza Co. sits right in the center of it all. The patio area is flat and easy to navigate with a dog on leash. Parking is available nearby, though it can fill up on weekend evenings. They’re open for lunch and dinner most days, though hours shift seasonally. The wood smoke and food smells will get your dog’s attention, but the patio’s open-air layout means there’s good air circulation. If you’re visiting during grape harvest season (late August through October), expect a busier scene with wine country traffic flowing through town.
