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.”

“Love their food! Best breakfasts in town! Nice servers, too.”

“Did an online order and even with technical issues the people working on our order took accountability for the issue and even gave us a litter of soda and extra wings! Overall the food itself was amazing and delicious. We did a custom order pizza and the flavors were super tasty! Would definitely order food here again!”

“pineapple milkshake is awesome”

“We held our wedding here in October of 2025. The owner and staff were truly so invested in our event and everything went perfectly. We had several planning meetings with the owner where we were able to customize the restaurant setup and the menu for our guests. We rented the entire restaurant, had a three course meal (with 3 different entree options), open high-end bar and wine/beer bar on the outside patio. They cleared out the inside dining room and set up a charcuterie buffet for our guests and let my friends come an hour early for setup. The staff was SO amazing the night of our wedding - special shout out to host Mike, bar tender Zach, and the server who got on the dance floor!

We chose this place to host our wedding because of our multiple good experiences beforehand, but we were unprepared for the excellent service we received from beginning to end. The cost was VERY reasonable and I have recommended the place to many people for personal dinners and events. Their 'sister' restaurant Rione is also AMAZING !!

Love you guys!”

“Fabulous people, music and atmosphere!”

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

“The staff and the young recent new owners of Country Morning really on top of their game. What can't you recommend. They brought in Temple Coffee Roasters. Upped their coffee game. Comfort food flowing out of there. And awesome pastries. Check' em out.”

“Great food! Nice atmosphere.”

“Delicious homemade food with tasty Korean cuisine. There are other sushi places in town for good sushi. Not that their sushi was bad but if you are here I would stick with their delicious entrees.”

“The food was delicious, service exceptional. Everything is fresh, made to order. High quality Indian food. I highly recommend this place. I was at first disappointed that the buffet was not there. I ordered the chili chicken and garlic naan. It was wonderful. So full of flavor and I had plenty to take home for another meal.”

“Very good experience. The Owner accommodated our vegetarian dietary preferences and helped us in the right way ! The food was also very fresh and tasty, would recommend to all.”

“as a uber eats driver , great manners , nice staff , and offer of a free coffee (thanks) so I tried it for myself , wonderful food can't fault it :-) my favourite local Independent, maybe consider this before ordering mcshite on uber eats eh ...”

“This was some of the best barbecue I've ever had in my life. It's hard to find good barbecue in California and every part of this was obviously a passion project - the meat was cooked to perfection, the seasoning was amazing, the baked beans were literally the best restaurant baked beans I've ever had, the bbq sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and both the sweet tea and watermelon lemonade were perfect accompaniments - Wayne also definitely knew what he was doing, making clear recommendations to help us get the best out of the meal. This is not the place for dollar menu-aires or a cheap meal, but it's reasonably priced for what it is - extremely high quality, well-cooked meat in good portions. The only downside is the location isn't the best, but it's also clear a lot of effort has been put into maintaining it and keeping it inviting - and hey, it's clear that he's putting that extra money into the quality meat he's serving, completely worth it. 11/10 would go there again and recommend to all my friends.”

“Love this place!! That’s our spot every Sunday after church.”
