Base Camp FAQ

Hosting Information

Do we take reservations?
We do not take reservations and are a first come, first serve restaurant. We will consider a total restaurant buy out (minimum of 50 people) during the months of October, November and May. The pricing is dependent on sales projections.

Please keep in mind we do not split checks and will accept up to 4 methods of payment. 20% Gratuity is added to parties of 6 or more.

For smaller group advice or information on how our waiting list works, please read the wait list information below.

For further questions feel free to e-mail our GM, Kerry Walker, manager@basecamppizzaco.com, with the date, time and desired amount of people for suggestions. Expect a reply within 5 business days.

What is your large group policy?
We can seat groups of 6 or under together regardless of wait time. When our wait exceeds 1 hour, we will split groups over 6 into denominations of no more than 6. We do this to ensure we can accommodate as many guests as we can by getting people sat as quickly as possible. The hostess will alert you whether or not they intend on splitting you up and how they plan on doing so upon check in. These groups may or may not be sat near each other or at the same time. During busy season expect a lengthy wait for large groups.

For groups over 6, a great suggestion is coming in close to opening at 11:00 am, before we have a wait, or ordering take out. Keep in mind we do not split checks and will accept 4 methods of payment. 20% gratuity will be added to groups over 6.

How does the wait work? Will you call me when our table is ready or text?
We have a wait list system that will TEXT you when your table is ready. A confirmation text will be sent within 2 minutes of you checking in. Tahoe has very poor service when town is congested, so please alert us if you have not received your text. You can reply “on my way,” and we will wait for your return for up to 7 minutes. You must check in to our waiting list in person. Always check in close to your quoted time…technology isn’t always reliable!

What kind of wait can I expect on the weekends, Holidays and busy season?
We go on extremely long waits after 2:00 pm during busy season. High season is considered June to mid September and December to April. Wait times vary from preference of seating, inside/outside/first available/heater/shade, group size, and time of check in. Waits can exceed 2 hours. However, if you plan ahead and check in early, you can fill that time with the fun destinations around us. There are a lot of shops, activities, bars and waiting areas around the village.

Do you have any “Open” seating sections?
Our bar is open seating and is a great option to get in and out. We also have an outdoor bar which is open in peak season and is also first available seating.

Take Out/Online Ordering Information

Can I pre-order for take out?
If your order is above $300.00, we would suggest placing a pre-order at info@basecamppizzaco.com with subject “Large take out order”.
This way we can give you an accurate quote and let you know if we can accommodate your order.

During busy season we may stop taking To Go orders when our capacity is reached, although this is fairly rare.

Take out orders under $300.00 cannot be made in advance. Please place your take out order no more than 30 minutes in advance of the pick up time.

During peak season we may be over an hour and a half wait for pick up. Please plan accordingly.

Do you cater?
We do not cater, but offer take out options. Please contact our sister restaurant here in the Village, Azul Latin Kitchen, for catering options.

Do you deliver?
We do not deliver, but offer take out.

Can I get a local or return discount through online ordering for take out?
You must order in person or call Base Camp to get discounts for online take out orders. You will need to provide proof of address for local discounts or a printed receipt for return discounts.

Can I order take out and eat it at the restaurant?
Take out orders must be taken outside of the restaurant to be consumed. We will not allow any orders of any size to be eaten on premise, after placed for To Go. If you are on the waiting list and decide to opt for take out, please inform the hosts.
