I'm so sad to leave this review because it has been a staple for me for 20 years, but the past 2 experiences have been terrible. This last one, I called in an hour early for a pickup at 5:30, I get there and although my order had been taken, it wasn't even started yet. They said it would be ready in 15... 15 rolls around, 30 minutes rolls around (not to mention my wife is waiting with a newborn baby screaming his head off in the car), we finally get the 3 pizzas and garlic bread 45 minutes later. People who ordered after I got there even got their food faster than I did. Obviously irritated, when my food finally came the guy just asked "whats up, long day?" ... no not really, I just expected the same service I've received in the past. Additionally, While I was waiting, what seemed like random people just walking into the back (kitchen) area. You had no idea who worked there and who didn't and if these people walking into the back are handling your food properly. My first suggestion is that your employees wear some type of shirt that distinguishes them as your workers. Second, based on reviews below, it sounds like some major organization issues are happening. I love the food and the atmosphere. Ill try back later, and hopefully be able to update this review.

This is a fun, quirky, pizza place. The staff was friendly and very efficient. The pizza was excellent. My girlfriend wanted light sauce since she doesn't like a lot of sauce and it was just right. We both ordered minis and for us that was just the right amount of food. Crust was good and not too thick. Plenty of pepperoni on both our pizzas. Will definitely come back. We ordered for take out, that's why the paper plate and have eaten pizza of mine in the photo. I had pepperoni, bacon and pineapple and it was ? delicious. Both our pizzas were "build your own".Vegetarian options: They had. Pizza that I think would qualify as a veggie pizza.

They have delicious food and, compared to other joints nowadays, they're not terribly expensive! The atmosphere is fun and relaxed and the staff is friendly. They have lots of paraphernalia from many outer space themed movies and the ceiling is painted like outer space. We ordered the Cobb salad, boneless wings with mango habanero sauce, and the Martian melt sandwich with some drinks. Unfortunately the soda was out of CO2 but they swapped out drinks for a 2 liter of Pepsi so they definitely took care of us. The time to get our food was more comparable to a sit down restaurant but that's because they cook it fresh to order so it was definitely worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for wings, pizzas, or sandwiches. Great experience and great food!Kid-friendliness: Lots of cool props and some random games for the kidsParking: Located in a shopping center with lots of parking

Very friendly service on a rainy slow Sunday. I ordered a personal pizza, a drink and an appetizer. All were delicious, and the place has a cool vibe. Would be nice if apps had smaller portions for smaller prices, but I have no other complaints.

This place has fantastic food fast service and a radical atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone who likes pizza salad breadsticks or other yummy options as well as movie memorabilia and entertaining arcade games.

Ordered takeaway space cowboy. This pizza was absolutely delicious. The hint of cilantro was excellent. The bbq sauce was very tasty and the whole combination was a delight to eat. We drove up from Poway and its honestly worth the drive.

Small shop that, well, makes killer pizza! A lot better than any of the "chains", the atmosphere is a crazy combination of extraterrestrials and sports, but it works! If it's not on the menu, they can custom make just about anything pizza related. The pizza is good, the salads are freshly made and they have good beers on tap. There are sports on all of the numerous big screens, and they actually have a small arcade that my son loved! They are locally owned and have been in town for a long time, but I just went there for the first time recently, and loved it - I will definitely be back!!

We stopped in randomly on a Saturday night, my husband was craving pizza. Since we are new to the area this spot looked really interesting.It was so crowded and the line was out the door which is always a good sign of good food. The interior atmosphere was awesome with a galactic space theme. They have a small arcade area for the kids.We tried the veggie pizza and it was just ok. I was hoping for a little more out of it. It wasn't bad but nothing to write home to mom about.

Fantastic place, I remember pizza places like this as a kid and this is amazing. The staff is seriously so helpful and fast and the GM is amazing. It was a pleasure eating here the food was great and the atmosphere is so family oriented I loved it.

Okay pizza, crust was nothing special unless you just like bread. I’m giving it an extra star because they do load up the toppings (especially the banana peppers and jalapeños). I like how they decorated the place though! We got a large cheese and a small veggie and honestly tasted about the same as Pizza Hut. I think this would be a nice place to bring a family… also their menu of different kinds of pizza needs to be posted somewhere in the restaurant, the little sign in the cashier is super hard to read

The pizza was excellent. Bring cash if you're heading there because this place is cash only. They have a small arcade there. We came just after the lunch rush today. Pretty neat place!

really cool and fun interior! if you like sci-fi you'll love this place. tons of stuff to see and a few arcade style games, we kept spotting new stuff the longer we sat.pizza was absolutely delicious! hand tossed crust and fresh ingredients is hard to beat. it was incredibly busy when we went so the wait was a little long, but the stuff was super nice, made conversation while we were ordering, offered us sauces at the table, and checked up on us despite how busy they were.Soda machine was spotty, but they had cans available if they were out in the machine.

Unique sci-fi space, star wars. Aliens, sat trek themed decor. Great pizza and salad in truly unique decor. We have enjoyed this pizza for decades. Try both locations.

I ate the whole pizza before writing this review. I love to eat my food right out the oven. The cheese on the pizza was great and the ham was good too. The ranch was not sour like most places. Great place to have a family night out while watching the games.Kid-friendliness: There is arcade games and a change machine for quarters.
