“Upon entering, you're welcomed with a friendly "Happy Saturday" from the front desk. The ambiance is wonderfully modern and inviting. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, with a variety of beers on tap and bottled sodas available. I opted for the sausage pizza and cheese bread, both made to order. They arrived hot, with slices so cheesy and delicious that you can truly savor the authentic ingredients. Definitely a must-visit place!“
“Ordered a large vegetarian pizza. Crust, sauce and cheese great but the cook must love olives and chopped tomatoes and hate everything else. Tough to find even 1 slice of mushroom or any onion on any single slice. Tomato and olive pieces covered the entire pizza.“
“Love your pep pizza and chicken. The place is clean and well kept up too. Especially for the dirty city of Yucaipa. Our last pizza was slightly undercooked, but we will ask for a few extra minutes in the oven next time. Flavor is awesome, the cheese is not the cheap shit and the dough is really good. Broasted chicken for the win.“
“Best pizza I've had in years!!! I have a rare tomato allergy, so I don't try new foods or restaurants. Strongman knew this and made the BEST pizza I've had in many years!!! This IS NOW my go to pizza restaurant. Chicken wings were perfect and meaty. Really good people here. Thanks guys!“
“This place is a hidden gem. I was hesitant to try because the prices are so low but the pizzas we have tried are great! The prices are great! Customer service is great. Lucian's is our favorite place for pizzas now. We are so happy that we gave this place a try. No regrets.“
“I usually get the pepperoni pizza with cashews and extra sauce. I love their dough and this is by far one of the best pepperoni cashews pizza I have had. All the ingredients are really fresh . They usually have it ready in 10 minutes I can’t believe it. I go here at least once a week. It’s yummy!!“
“For those of you who are perhaps too young to remember, Pizza Chalet used to be a chain of sit-down pizza restaurants with dozens of locations in Southern California. Like many other similar local chains (Taco Tia and Pioneer Chicken for instance), the number of Pizza Chalets began to dwindle and shrink from about the mid/late 80s. Now there are only a handful of locations left, with Yucaipa being the closest one to many in the Inland Empire. Oddly enough, as much as I loved pizza when I was a teen (and as much as I still love it today), I had NEVER been to a Pizza Chalet location until about 3 weeks ago. My brother, mom, and I were out doing errands in the area and decided to pop in to see if it was any good. We heard about the all-you-can-eat buffet and decided to give it a try despite a few reservations. Those reservations quickly fell away! What a delicious gem of find this turned out to be. Its located up at the top of Yucaipla Blvd, "over the hill" and close to the historic district near the roundabout. Upon entering, we noted it had the feel of the pizza parlors of old from the 80s and 90s where kids and teens would go when their baseball or soccer games were over. To add to that feel, there is even a fun-zone arcade area for kids to enjoy themselves in and win tickets to redeem prizes at a counter near the entrance! Wow!!! The nostalgia of it all! Speaking of Nostalgia, the place has staying power. This location opened in 1976 and has been around for almost 50 years and touts itself as "The Best Pizza in Yucaipa". The buffet is very much a bargain. They have a decently-stocked salad bar (with 6 dressings!), a regular rotation of freshly made pizzas with various toppings (one of which is a tasty homage to the Gay 90's Pizza Parlor from Redlands that started the whole "cashews on a pizza" craze, a selection of mini Italian sandwiches as well as desserts. All of these were freshly made and delicious tasting. I don't know if the pizza was indeed "The Best"; but I'd say it's certainly above average and quite tasty. The real star of the show, however, is their "Johnnie's Broasted Chicken". OMG!! Where has this been all my life?! It's a pressure-cooked chicken recipe that seals the delicious, slightly salty, and savory flavor down to the bone. The outside is crispy and the inside is moist and juicy. I kept coming back to this for seconds and even thirds! Some of the best chicken I've had in a long time. The employees here were very friendly, and the food in the buffet never had time to get stale. It was restocked regularly. To top it all off, they even had a decent selection of 6-8 beers on tap including local microbrews! Gotta have a cold beer with pizza, right?!? I will say this about the price. The buffet is your best option for value here. It runs from 11 am - 2 pm every day, and from 5 pm - 7:30 pm on Monday nights. Outside of that, the price of the pizza and chicken by themselves do tend to be a bit more expensive than other places in the area, especially the chicken. Prices seem to be on-par with the Gourmet Pizza Shoppe in Redlands. You can check out the pictures of the menu others have posted to get a good idea. I admit the sticker shock made me deduct a star in this case. That being said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here for their lunch buffet of on a Monday night for dinner. There are lots of options to choose from and I absolutely guarantee you will fall in love with the broasted chicken! A bit pricey overall, but still a fun spot in Yucaipa to try! Come alone, with family, or bring along the whole soccer team! These are the type of local spots we want to keep open for years to come.“
“Went in and ordered four different pizzas. Even though I don't like ranch, theirs was very good!Pizzas are baked in a real wood oven. Pizzas came out burnt around the edges, but that didn't bother me at all.Friendly service, nice outdoor setting, and nice store to roam around while waiting for food.The humidor has a vast selection of cigars in a wide range of prices.Will definitely go back.“
