“We were traveling through and stopped for dinner. The staff was super friendly. There was a disgruntled customer (he was was being extra. Karen mode for sure) and they stayed cool calm and collected and didnt let that change the atmosphere at all. They were quick and the pizza tasted soooo delicious. 10/10 will stop here again if we are traveling through.“
“5 STARS! They have the best cheese sticks, and I love dipping them in the ranch they serve with the cheese sticks. Cheese pizza is amazing, and it has a very subtle basil and spicy taste. Love the pizza, and hopefully I can become hired. (love you mom and dad! btw im the owners daughter)“
“Their food is always so fresh and delicious! They have a large menu and everything we’ve tried has been delicious! We love their Pizza, manicotti and their antipasto salad. Their pizza is the best in Rapid City and their staff is very friendly! One of the best restaurants and we highly recommend them to everyone!“
“The manager (guy) is super nice and was so patient with his new employee who was working the register! We got a half and half pizza (each something different). It was ready in under 10 mins.Vegetarian options: You can order an all veggie pizza there.Parking: Tight fit on a very busy road and not in the best part of town. (Not their fault)“
“Great food, fun atmosphere, and awesome staff! We were in twice over the holidays and had Abby both times as a server and she was so attentive, quick and fun even while the place was packed and the servers were running like crazy! We come in every year while visiting family and always have the best time!“
“I just wanted to take a minute and praise the staff at Blaze Rapid City on the west side. My daughter recently was diagnosed with celiac disease which has been a challenging adjustment. Eating out is tricky now and also potentially dangerous for her. She loves Blaze Pizza and came in today (on all days pi day) waited for an hour, (the line was around the corner and outside ?) to get some of her favorite pizza, and because she is celiac requested the gluten-free crust. Without being prompted, the staff took her allergy seriously and all changed their gloves to help with cross contamination and acted kindly and positively while being SLAMMED. Kudos to you Blaze Pizza!!!Dietary restrictions: Celiac disease“
“It's been awhile since we ate papa johns and I have to say I was extremely satisfied! Ordered online, found a 30% off coupon online, delivery from order to the hotel door was lightning quick (25min) or less. Ordered wings, pizza and Tuscan cheese sticks. Everything was super hot and fresh and of super high quality. They even gave us plates and condiments without us asking for them and the delivery guy was very friendly. Overall the food was great, fast service and at a reasonable price! Couldn't be happier.“
“Fast delivery service, super friendly delivery driver, amazing tasting food AND exactly what I ordered. Absolutely not one issue whatsoever. I am from 8 hours away so I had no idea what I was getting myself into; 10 out of 10 recommend this location. Great job to the entire staff.“
“We came in town from out of state and stopped by godfathers... we got a taco pizza and cinnamon strusel pizza to go and it definitely did not disappoint! We had the pleasure of interacting with Brady who was phenomenal! Very obvious why he is a manager! He represents godfathers and above! I am a customer service manager so I always notice premium service and cannot say enough good things about Brady! It's super hard to find nowadays so I hope it's appreciated! Thank you so very much Brady!“
“These guys are always amazing, the food always warm, and delivery quick.Parking: I'll admit, the parking here kinda sucks. It shares a tiny lot with a tattoo parlor and a laundromat. It's small, uneven, and the only entrance/exit is awkwardly placed a short distance from a slightly busy traffic light.“
“I spoke with Hannah for a delivery. She had to be one of the best server and customer service workers I have ever had an interaction with. Bubbly outgoing super friendly and fast. She had immense respect for my time and was forward thing with my order and experience. Truely exceptional.“
“Disclaimer: I don't know a single person who works here and never heard of the place before this evening. I expected "edibly bad" at worst.??♂️ Its awesome to be wrong sometimes??♂️?I'm a seeker of lil gems like this one and I've NEVER been this dagon impressed in 12 years of traveling for a living. Not once!!!The chicken strips are chicken and seasoned and breaded perfectly.The garlic bread was perfectly soft and toasted, and hot...both of these orders were already done before I ordered the pizza and still perfect 10mins after the pizza was done.I got the chicken queso crunch pizza and just ?...This is the kind of joint that makes eating bad feel way too good?... 11/10 would take a few hour drive to eat here again.“
“I placed a delivery order and ordered a Coke but they delivered a Diet Coke. I called and they rushed the right drink over, plus an extra. Might not seem like a big deal but when you’re paying for something you want the right one and a couple bucks here and there adds up. And unlike other pizza places in town who offer a refund for their mistakes but then never give it to you, they fixed the problem right away no arguments.“
“Can't speak for everyday or everyone but, when I go in, it seems like there are always different workers. Always cheerful, smiling, and helpful. It is almost like the enjoy their customers. My order is always hot, correct, and they have yet to miss asking me if I want anything else.Papa John's, don't close, don't move. I'm THANKFUL you are just up the street!“
“Our orders are always ready on time. The employees smile and say “Hi” or “Hello” when they greet me. They always say “Thank you” or “Have a great rest of your day” as I leave. A phone in order will have a friendly voice to take my order. The order has never been wrong. Always yummy.“
“Little Caesar's, combined with the remarkable service provided by Charles H., delivered an outstanding experience. The pizzas were delicious, featuring perfect crusts and delectable toppings. Charles H.'s attentive and friendly approach ensured prompt and accurate orders. The restaurant was clean and efficient, making for a memorable visit. Little Caesar's and Charles H. are a winning combination for anyone seeking top-notch pizza and exceptional service.“
“I had pretty much given up on Pizza Hut but this is one of the last Pizza Huts that still makes great food (like you remember). If great food isn't enough they have great service as well, rare in today's world! Always consistently good food and great staff that are friendly and work hard.“
