If you haven’t experienced Westside Pizza, are you even living? Because this place doesn’t just serve pizza — it delivers pure, cheesy, life-affirming joy in a box.

Let’s start with the food. The crust? Golden. Perfectly balanced between crispy and fluffy, like it was handcrafted by carb-loving angels. The sauce? Bright, rich, and bold — the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod in silent respect. And the cheese? A glorious, stretchy masterpiece that deserves its own slow-motion entrance music. Every topping tastes outrageously fresh, piled high with generosity that feels almost rebellious in today’s world. Whether it’s a classic pepperoni, a fully-loaded specialty pie, or those dangerously addictive breadsticks, every single bite feels like it was made with intention and pride.

But the real secret ingredient at Westside Pizza isn’t just what comes out of the oven — it’s the owner.

The owner radiates the kind of warmth and dedication you don’t see often anymore. You can feel their passion the second you walk through the door. They don’t just run a pizza place; they cultivate a community. They greet customers like old friends, remember names, ask about your day, and somehow make you feel like you’re the most important person in the building — even during the dinner rush. That level of care seeps into everything: the perfectly timed orders, the upbeat energy of the staff.

It’s the rare combination of phenomenal food and a genuinely exceptional human being behind the counter that elevates Westside Pizza from “great local spot” to “legendary neighborhood institution.”

In a world of average takeout, Westside Pizza stands tall, proudly cheesy, and unapologetically excellent. Five stars aren’t enough. This place deserves fireworks.“

“I did not know i was missing one thing my whole life. Then I was handed this tasty pizza and that was the day. The day I almost ate a whole pizza. Realy good food and the worker are awsome. My first time their and it felt like it was the place to be everyweekend. Just go and get some pizza. You will see what I mean.“

“This is the best pizza my husband and I have ever had! It set the bar so high that we can’t go anywhere else. Every slice I’ve tried was delicious but the vodka is my go to. The crust is the perfect consistency and the sauce flavor and ratio is very well done. We get pizza at least every week now if not more!“

“Great pizza cold beverages“

“Easily the best pizza in Chico. Can't beat buy one get one free!“

“Sitting outdoors is not quite my vibe even with the misters but I absolutely love their pizza, calzones and breadsticks. The only time I was disappointed was when I missed my drumsticks which they corrected at a later date. ? I just recently tried their hamburger pizza and it was absolutely delicious!“

“Terrific catering experience for my daughter's wedding. Pizza was delicious, wings were a big hit and the salads were amazing. Wedding went great and we had some left over for morning pizza. It was a beautiful day. Thank you for making it go so smoothly.“

“Papa Murphys located on Eaton Rd is by far the best location in town. I have tryed them all and I'll just say this women runs her business right. Always fresh never short on toppings. And great customer service. Always a great team working there. I drive all the way across town past 2 other locations to get my pizza from the Raton location.“

“Just passing through and stumbled upon the place. What a great find, outdoor seating so you can bring your furry friends and family. Service was excellent with great hospitality. The cheese sticks were so delicious and the local green olives some of the best. We shared the jalapeño popper pizza. This too was hot, fresh and amazing. The crust was crunchy, but very light and could hold up with all the toppings. This place is a must and will definitely be going again.“

“3 of us dined in early Friday PM. 2 of us were new to the brand. 2 guys behind the counter were having fun and included us as they took our order and prep 👍
The whole process was smooth and quick....
Pizzas came out quickly - hot and eye appealing. Note: pizza maker was on his game and it was noticeable, he enjoyed what he was doing 👍
Note 2: the reason for the 4 stars (Food) had more to do with me not enjoying 100% of my selection (The Jasper). The spicy chicken was off tasting. A little like small frozen nuggets (of spicy something) than real chicken pieces.
However my 2 other diners loved their selections.
We will be back and I will try some different ingredients, next time...
Note to the Team: keep up the excellent guest interaction.... it will bring people back... Like Us 😃“

“Original East coasters here…….this was by far the closest thing to East coast pizza we have found! Excellent!“

“I haven't had Monstros in 15 years but man that crust and flavor took me back to the early 2000's. Same great pizza 9.2“

“Absolutely the best pizza in town. If you're opinion differs, your opinion is wrong. I don't care what your mom told you.My favorite is the Hawaiian with barbeque sauce and jalapeno and pepperoni. I've only seen it in there with the pepperoni twice. Next time I'm ordering a full one.It's a little pricey but i'd pay in blood if it were necessary.“

“Just had an amazing pizza from Mt. Mike's! 🍕 Seriously, the crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were so fresh. I could eat this every single day. Highly recommend checking them out if you're craving some delicious pizza. Definitely a new favorite spot for me! #PizzaLover #MtMikes“

“First time coming to this location and not only was the pizza every bit as good as downtown, but the service was above and beyond friendly and courteous to every single guest who came in while I was dining. I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but the staff working today deserved it.“

“While visiting family in Chico, last night we had placed an order with another pizza company at 9pm for a late dinner. An hour later they told us they no longer had an available delivery driver and had to void our payment and cancel our order. Thinking it was to late to get a pizza anywhere else... my family found the pizza guys. They took our order, just after 10 pm and had it delivered to our home very quickly. The pizza was fresh & hot and tasted good and we really liked the cheesy bread sticks. From now on, when ordering pizza for delivery... we know The Pizza Guys will come through. Very happy with the service. Thanks Pizza Guys!“

“Great food ! Great price ! Lots of space for big families and games! Also every purchase you get points! 5 star“

“I recommend. The pizza taste amazing. And the people were kind and gracious. And the patrons were wholesome and respectful. I value our local Papa Murphy's. The pizza taste great. The people were kind. The experience was uplifting for me and these places are great for a healthy meal. The price for the products are also family friendly.“

“Kind of sad when a business faith is dictated by reviews dating years and years ago. Kind of like herpes, if I may, they never seem to disappear, specially when said reviews are detrimental and no longer apply to the present.
Finally I went to this poorly rated establishment for their Taco Tuesday Special at $1.25 each.
I should add that previously someone brought to our place the Monday Special, Burger night, which at this day and age must admit was unbeatable and rather tasty. The kind of special that defies all odds. Also, previously as well had their Wednesday Chicken Wings Special. That one, sadly, a fiasco. Super dry wings, devoid of all appeal, but for the money the quantity was decent.
Anywho, Tackle Box simply rocks, and from the looks it distinguished itself as a truly unique scene. Staff reeked of good manners and friendly demeanor, which I must confess, truly appreciate. The shower singer in me wanted to get up on their stage and make a fool out of myself. The square footage truly mind altering, and the one question nagging me was: why the few and not so good comments? The bar alone is quite a sight!
Tacos: small but loaded, easy to devour but please no less than 6, or will wish it had been. Salsa, meats, sauce, not shabby at all. Staff, as happily mentioned, nice as can be. Restroom particularly clean and originally decorated. Heard Happy Hour beers run for $4 a piece? If so, it would take quite a few to tune ? up.
I thank the good man that drove us there. Karaoke Night Sundays? Buzzed enough I see no reason why I would not make a fool out of myself, God knows over the years I repeatedly have in good fun. Johnny Rivers “Poor Side of Town” seems about right. Tackle Box is an original, and from what I heard, the ownership which dates back and crew deserve plenty of recognition. 1 star 6 years ago, 10?
Hello? How about recently, after all, this is no simple predictable place. Music does rule. 4.5 Stars.“

“I've eaten here twice now and it's been so good each time.“

“Call in and ordered just a classic pepperoni pizza and crazy bread. This has to be the best pie I've ever ordered from little Caesars now don't get me wrong I'm not saying this is the best pizza I've ever had. I'm saying out of all the little Caesars I've ate this was the best pizza I've had ordered from them. Very pleased with dinner tonight.“

“It's Quick and Easy . No bs just straight to the point of getting you , your order . Not much personality amongst here at this location. But if your in a hurry or just want affordable pizza good place to go .

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“My family and I had a great dinner at Round Table Pizza. My daughter and nieces played all of the working games, I may or may not have thrown down on a claw machine or two also! They were very busy but hustling! Food was the usual excellent fare! I miss the days of physical tokens and tickets but maybe I'm just getting old...“

“That Andrew fellow in the kitchen makes an excellent pizza pie.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Round Table Pizza! The pizza was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked, but what really stood out was the salad bar—absolutely excellent. Everything was crisp, clean, and well-stocked with a great variety of toppings and dressings. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The worker there was excellent! The sandwich was perfect! Will be going back“

“I had a great experience. Went in and KK had great customer service she kindly explained that you guys do not give out paper plates anymore in a manner where I wasn't even upset about it and even offered to help me carry my pizzas out to my car for me. I declined but that was very great service will come back for KK service“

“If you have any food allergies or restrictions, ordering online is NOT the way to order from here. The majority of the times I've ordered dairy free cheese pizza, it's either ignored or has regular cheese thrown on top, which defeats the whole purpose of paying extra for the dairy free.
Everything else is good quality- dough, veggies, meats, sauces are all great.“

“I ordered two large pizzas and twists. One pizza had the wrong topping. The delivery driver called the store and Eric the manager was quick to solve the problem. I would recommend them. The food is good and the customer service is better.“
