Pizza Restaurants near Thousand Palms

“Love it. Very friendly and courteous delivery drivers, always get my orders on time, sometimes they take a little longer than projected, but it is Football season, when it gets very busy for them. But I'm still very satisfied with them. I'm a customer for life.“

“I cannot find any better pizza place. I decided to stop by Norma's Italian kitchen to order pizza for dinner. I got a medium sized pepperoni pizza with hand tossed crust. I took it home and it was super delicious. That was the best pizza I ever tasted. I definitely like to go back again.“

“We have been here 3 different times over the years on our trips to the desert- came here when they first opened with our boys years ago- pizza just like we had in Italy Second time was at Christmas a couple years ago when we met family out here and wanted a place that would have something for everyone in a party of 14. Everyone loved it- mussels, calamari, pastas, pizza... Then we came here late last night after we got into town- here for our spring break get away sans kids- Sunday night, super busy, no rezzies, sat at the bar- ordered happy hour pizzas and drinks- with cannoli for the finish!! Darlings- it was ALL phenomenal! I got the prosciutto and arugula and hubby got the chicci-chicci and claimed it was amazing. I devoured my 4 slices after claiming I wasn't sure I could eat the whole thing and was probably going to take some home. Cannoli was just like the best I had in Rome by the Spanish steps! Even had a bit of orange zest!! Even sitting in the worst seats in the bar (on the end where servers pick up drinks and drop off dirty glasses) wasn't bad- servers were especially friendly and fun! Great atmosphere!! Going back this week while we are here!!“

“We really enjoyed dining in and having the pizza. We ordered half buffalo chicken then a bunch of vegetables on the other half. The crust is thin except for the ends. The salad was okay but different from any other house salad. They have a sit down dine in and their counter is for take out only. You can see the pizza being made if you want to peak over the open space. They list a star when one of our family members were stuck in the restroom with no toilet paper…. They had to call us so we could request some.“

“This place gets busy in a matter of minutes. The sunshine prefix is a must. Great selection from each course to choose from. Good is always well prepared. We only had a couple of incidents with food portions reduced from previous visits, but the quality of food has been spot on.“

“Don’t let it’s location deter you (sandwiched between Marvyn’s Magic Theater and Cinemark Century La Quinta and XD), the outside isn’t a true reflection of what you’re about to experience inside.Kiki’s strikes a perfect balance, offering a laidback yet upbeat atmosphere that doesn’t put you to sleep nor overwhelming—not easily achieved for a new restaurant to the valley.The precedence is set by the staff who are all of the things you’d hope for but don’t always find. Everyone consistently delivered welcoming interactions throughout our visit, especially our server River. While we had great conversations with him during our visit, he embodied everything that Kiki’s is striving (and successfully) standing for. And his insightful menu recommendations didn’t disappoint:What I tried and would try again and again:- The Hamachi Crudo – If this was the only dish I ordered, I still would’ve been happy.- Caesar Salad – The last time I had a Caesar Salad this fresh was homemade from a family friend, so fresh you would’ve believed they caught the anchovies themselves.- Rigatoni Bolognese – 95% of the pasta made at Kiki’s is made fresh and you can taste it. I’m choosing to believe the other 5% is modesty to disarm any skeptics.- Meatatarian Pizza – This is how pizza is supposed to taste.Reservations–I’d recommend getting them. However, if the only available seating is at the bar or high-top tables, you won’t be disappointed.Kiki’s sets itself apart from other local establishments with their thoughtfully crafted end-to-end positive experience. My first time having dinner at Kiki’s won’t be my last.“

“My son LOVES the pizza here! We order takeout often and it's amazing every single time. I love the shrimp scampi. Literally the best scampi sauce I've ever had! Capers, wine, garlic, butter, cherry tomatoes, parsley! Just perfection! If you like shrimp scampi, this is definitely a must try!“

“I went there today and the food was amazing. It also has very quick and friendly service. Here are our orders, which were all delicious. 1. I got The ravioli 2. My brother got the spaghetti 3. We all shared a pizza All the food was delicious and 10000000000000% recommend coming here.“

“They had a big party in front of us when we showed up their order was already going in the waiter constantly let us know status of our order it was fine me and my dad my stepmom my brother and his two sons and my wife had a great visit with each other it was a great place to go highly “

“So, I tried to snap pictures of all the wings and pizzas that I ordered for the office, but they were promptly devoured as soon as I got back to the office.CHICKEN WINGS: They are saucy, crunchy, meaty and must be eagle wings, cuz they are HUGE! 10/10 recommendPIZZAS: Overflowing with toppings, which are all extremely flavorful and fresh. Recommend going with specialty pizzas, as they are make some really good combos. 10/10 recommendNeedless to say, the pizza and wings from Sabatino's is the unanimous favorite and go to for me and my staff (office of 15+ people).“

“The place looks more expensive than it is with Italian decor of hand-painted walls of people and places of Italy. The food is delicious - I had a nice salad and two slices of New York style pizza. My server was perfect in being there at the right time with the right attitude and the right thing, being both unobtrusive and available, which is not an easy skill to master and shows the caliber of training and attention to detail. Bravisimo!“

“Oh. My. Word. Reminded me of my childhood! This is authentic, Greek food. If you're in a hurry, this is not for you. L❤ve takes time and Nina puts l❤ve into each dish! The pasta Mykonos is legit one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had! Her oven-roasted potatoes are drops from Heaven! Everything is fresh and delicious!“

“A friend bright us here for dinner after church. We hadn’t been to Giuseppe’s in at least 6 years, and had forgotten about it.Our server was excellent, explaining the menu and making very good recommendations. I wish I wrote down his name!My partner had the sole, which he loved. My friend and I shared a pizza, which was the best I’ve had in California, after moving here 10 years ago.Hopefully someone will treat us to dinner here again sometime, as we can’t afford to eat out anymore.“

“Thank you for a fabulous St Patty's Day! The food was delicious and more than we could have asked for! As always, the service and camaraderie was spot on! The specials were so good, we had to bring home another plate! Cheers Thank you and see you again soon.“

“The best pizza in the Coachella Valley hands down especially if you want frozen to take home and cook yourself not only taste fresh but it's easy and delicious And their cheesecake is phenomenal I ordered a whole original cheesecake the other day paid $37 for it 8 and 2 days by myself that's how good it is and I was on a “

“I'm impatient . But I'm not stupid . I like to order ahead of time like today. Just to beat the wait time by getting ready and getting in my car and driving and picking up my phone to call it in. .not only is it so simple . But does it always come out 110% every time . Never dissatisfied . Call me a fat ass I could care less . With such delicious food as simple as spaghetti and meatballs with a few garlic buttered toasts . You cannot go wrong . And I'm not gonna say I'm a critic or anything . But out of the many Mario's around . I recommend the Palm Springs, Bermuda dunes, I haven't tried the one in Palm desert or the one on Varner by Stater bros but not trying to throw too much shade . The Indio one was exceptional . The service and ambiance was equivalent to the ones I have been to . But the food was not . Not only did I feel as though I was skimped out on my portions but do I feel I was stolen from . Cause they charge the same price as the great ones like this one i am commenting on . But they did not serve it to my basic requirements . It was cold for mine and my girlfriends . And although she was kind. Our server . She was rushing and in a hurry and to me meant they were understaffed . None the less I only expect improvement from them if they want to continue business but who am I right lol . Also here is a pic of my empty large spaghetti and meatballs . I don't care . I'd pay twice the amount they charge me for what they give me for they are to kind of. God bless your Mario's Italian cafe .“

“Small hometown atmosphere very friendly. Only wish they were open earlier we would love to have lunch there it's very friendly, the staff and owners, who run it themselves, are always welcoming and the food is always good, I especially like to get a pineapple, jalapeno and Canadian bacon with extra cheese, my husband prefers plain pepperoni which is consistently good.“

“Had a couple of beers. The bartender was very nice made me feel very welcomed.Parking: They have plenty of parking and they also have handicapped parking.Kid-friendliness: Super awesome staffWheelchair accessibility: Yes they have easy wheelchair access“

“Loved the place good atmosphere, and our server did a great job. Did not have a reservation, but the host was nice enough to accommodate a group of 5. As a starter, we got the garlic bread, which was delicious a MUST try. Tried the steak frites, and the steak was cooked perfectly. Also, recommend would suggest adding a little more asparagus since it is a pricey plate. Lasagna didn't really taste like marinara sauce, more like a watered-down sauce of tomato, wouldn't order it again. Shrimp scampi was not a favorite had better. And the pork milanese needed more flavor to my tasting would not recommend. The wedge salad was a favorite I recommend. Have in mind we were 5. I did not eat all of that, but we all tasted each others food since it was our first time there. That was our conclusion from the tasting we did. Hope it helps someone.“

“I'm from out of town and came here after a subpar dinner elsewhere. Omg, the meat lovers pizza was so good, there were layers of meat. We also ordered Alfredo pasta with chicken. The meat was tender and the sauce was of perfect consistency. Came back in the daytime and they have a great happy hour and a pretty cool bar atmosphere.“

“Doesn't look much from the outside but Tans pizza was delicious and worthy. We were just visiting for a day and stopped by desert hot springs. We got the family feast #1 and everything was made to order and fresh. I think they forgot the salad dressing but the flavor of the wings and pizza was good enough to balance it all out. The pizza crust, sauce and toppings were all good along with the wings. No issues!“

“Popped into Palermo's this afternoon for the first time. I usually go to the Mexican place next door when I'm dining in this area, but decided I'd give pizza in Palm Springs another shot. We've lived here for 2 5 years and never found really good pizza. Palermo's did not disappoint! This has literally got to be the best pizza I've had in the Coachella Valley. The sauce? Made by hand. The owner was making a fresh batch while I ate. Its got a clean, fresh flavor that is not heavy and not overwhelming. The tomato truly tastes fresh and not sour or too sweet. This pizza the the perfect thickness and was cooked to perfection. I read the other review where the individual ordered the pizza delivered by DoorDash and it showed up ruined. I'm not sure, about Doordash, but the owner of this establishment knows his business. I watched him lecture a Doordash driver on taking care of the pizza for 5 minutes. This man cares about his product. I highly recommend this place.“

“This is a step up from a fast food restaurant. We enjoyed surprisingly good food. The pizza, stromboli, wedge salad, brussel sprouts and meatballs were very good. They had a good selection of micro brews. We caught the last 30 min. of happy hour. Most apps were about $8 and they were full size apps. Drink prices were reduced. This is a very casual, locals spot. Service was a little understaffed but we did not suffer for it. Our server was pleasant and worked hard.“

“Food was Excellent. Service was professional and courteous ( but it took a long time for our food to come out- we all had pasta dishes, probably cooked to order) . Ambience? This is not what I would call an "ambience" restaurant, You go there to eat, not to dine.“

“We came in for dinner and man this place was popular. The wait wasn't too bad, and accurately estimated. The table we sat at was right behind the hostess stand and a little awkward, but it worked. We ordered wings, salad, and a large pizza. All were good. Next time I would order the pizza with thin crust because the regular crust was too thick. But overall, it was very good. The service was great. Our server was very nice and checked in appropriately. Overall good experience.“

“My daughter had a good time today on March 4 ,2024 for her birthday It was 12:45/ 1pm and the lady working the register was so kind I wish I got her name ? she took the time to show me different deals to help suit my family I truly felt like I got a bang for my buck and my kids had a time good customer service matters and it was appreciated ? we will be back just because of that ?me and my family felt welcomed“

“Still great pizza. Don’t come here much anymore since they ditched the lunch pizza buffet. The place was jammin for lunch for over 10 years with that pizza bar. It was always packed. Now this place is a ghost town. The baby personal pizzas they offer will barely feed my 4 year old. It’s good pizza but not a great lunch place any longer.“

“This is a fabulous, moderately priced Italian restaurant. Lat visiting Palm Springs/La Quinta area we ate here 3 times.Food was amazing and portions large. Lots of seniors there and the seemed to love this place. It has been here for over 50 years.We had everything from lobster/crab cannoli, to massive pork shank, to spinach salads, to pizza and more.Try it.“

“Came here for the first time with my family and the food was amazing! Everything was delicious, atmosphere was really chill and the service was even better! Danielle's customer service was the best! She made some great recommendations, She even walked by to tell us that she asked the cooks to leave a couple of slices of pizza without mushrooms because my son is picky. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!! Thank you to all the hard workers at Upper Crust for the wonderful service!“

“Usually love it here. Best food ever. Drove over 2 hours to get here from San Diego.....were spending the night in Palm Springs. We get there 10 minutes before closing time. They won't seat us (no big deal and we get it). They still had a dining room half full of people and it's a Friday Night. Can we order something to go. The hostess goes over to the kitchen and apparently it's a no go. If someone came in the door to any restaurant I've ever worked in at 10 minutes to closing....we would have sat them. Absolutely made my day a bit crappy. We drove back to Bills Pizza in Palm Springs. We ordered our pizza and were surprised. Excellent pizza.“

“You've gotta love a location that is amazing and delicious and fresh even via delivery. I don't know how Bucatini does it, but they always smash it out of the park with their dishes. We were regular patrons via delivery, but recently stopped in to sit down and have the in-house experience. The staff was friendly, inside was super clean, and we were seated within about 5 minutes. Highly recommend the eggplant appetizer, any of their stuffed pasta dishes, and definitely the gnocchi! The only weak link that we had was one of their tortellini specials that they had -- not our fave -- but everything else was insanely delicious. We will definitely be back for more and will continue to order via delivery!“

“This place comes across as a typical bar when you enter with typical bar expectations, but the service was outstanding and above and beyond expectations. We ordered a 20 inch pizza and a couple drinks...again, excellent friendly service! The pizza was huge and also above beyond all expectations. I would venture to say it may have been the best pizza I have ever had.Walk to the back of the bar and they have a super cool outdoor seating area...a bit chilly tonight, but still, just a cool atmosphere. Hands down, one of the best Palm Desert experiences I have had in four years of visiting from MN.Will be back.“

“Rosati's Pizza is under new ownership. The last owner advertised "Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches " that was disappointing. I'm happy to report that the new owner's got the recipe right. While I've lived in California for more 50 years, I spent nearly 20 years working in Chicago where I experienced my favorite Southside Beef stand - "Al's BBQ" that was rated Chicago's favorite on Taylor Street West of Halstead Street. We've lived in La Quinta for 30 years and the closest I've come to finding an original Italian Beef Sandwich was located in Long Beach (unfortunately I do not remember the name). The man difference between a "Sliced Beef" and an "Italian Beef" is the paper-thin "shaved"beef and spices. Authentic Chicago Italian Beef is simmered in the spiced juices and piled high on an Italian Roll. Winter "Snowbirds" escaping the cold Chicago winters no longer need to travel to Long Beach for their Chicago favorite sandwich. Rosati's finally did their homework and brought Chicago's Italian Beef to the Desert. I gave Rosati's 4 out of 5 stars, deducting one point for skimping on the amount of beef served on the sandwiches I've ordered in Chicago, IMO, Rosati's has a winner but before they can claim success, they need to give California a new sandwich that satisfies the appetite as well as the budget. If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat. This is the real thing.“

“Been ordering since I moved to the area and my wife and I have been very pleased with the service. We love a few hundred feet outside of their delivery range so we do their carside pickup and we have had nothing but 5-Star service and quality. This is the only location that I have ordered from who has called me in advance to let me know of an issue and have offered a solution. Outstanding customer service and fantastic food. I will continue to order from this location for all my pizza cravings.“
