Charlie's Pizza - Sioux Falls

Delicious pizza! The best. Very friendly staff.

We live in South Sioux Falls and we were excited to hear about a new Pizza Place opening close to us. In the beginning we liked going to Charlie’s as we like to sit in to dine. In the early days business there seemed to be real slow so we felt we had to support it as we wanted it to succeed. And we liked the Pizza. We like to sit in a booth and they have 3 really nice booths in the Bar area, which we prefer. On one occasion we wanted to sit in a booth, but the requirement was that you needed four people to get a booth, we were the only patrons in the establishment. So we had to sit at a table for four?
Every time we went in there it sort of felt that we were bothering them and the atmosphere there was never very friendly, but we continued to support Charlie’s with bringing family and even neighbors there as we liked the Pizza. Last night (Friday) we decided to go there around 07:30pm and to our surprise it was quit busy which I was excited to see as we want this establishment to succeed. Waiting for the hostess to seat us we could see on the Bar area side there were only two tables that were open at the far end of the bar. The hostess wanted to seat us on the restaurant side of the business but it was full of family and children. We did not prefer this so my wife told the hostess if there is not room in the Bar side we would leave. Then she decided we could sit at one of the far end tables as there were 2 open. The Lady behind the Bar brought us two menus and asked if we had more people coming and we stated no, we were on a date night. The next thing that we experienced was this tall goofy looking man with a headband on came over to the table and stated that we could not sit at our table as it was for six people, even though there were no other patrons waiting to be seated. He stated that we had to leave and I responded while at least you had two people at this table and now you have none. Is this how you treat a good customer? We departed and went over to Looks Diner and we’re treated like royalty and when we left we must had been thanked by at least 5 employees for coming in. Guess where I new Pizza Place is ? We will never patronize Charle’s again.

We finally decided to give Charlie's a try after hearing about it a few times. While we were here, we tried the Pizza Battle pizza. It was alright, but we felt it would have been better with basil instead of spinach. Marilyn's Mermaid Heaven pizza, on the other hand, was a strange combination—the shrimp, crab, and green olives didn’t complement each other well, and the red sauce lacked flavor.

One thing’s for sure: if you love cheese, their pizzas are loaded with it—though, in my opinion, it was a bit excessive. Given all the great things we had heard about this place, I was disappointed by the quality, especially considering the price.

Would I rush back? Probably not. But if you’re a fan of extra-cheesy pizzas, it might be worth a try.

Only been there twice. First time they forgot to make a pizza we ordered. Second time we wait 15-20 min to be seated. Then sit at the table with 3 kids for another 20 mins and never even had a server come up to us. Plenty other pizza places to eat then to try a third time.

Yesterday after our first Volleyball game (came out with a W!) we decided to try out the new Charlie’s Pizza. They open at 4pm and we had gotten there right at 4pm. Not actually knowing their open time we just went in hopes for good pizza. The waitress took our order within 5min of us sitting at the booth. 4:25pm comes around and she stops at our table, puts the pizza holder on our table and says “it’s just about done” Ok cool can’t wait. 4:45 comes around and I ask another waiter working to check on our order, our waitress comes and says “it’s almost ready”. 4:55 we walked out. No pizza nothing. Best part is as during our incredibly long wait, the table who came AFTER us, has now gotten their appetizers, their pizza AND THEIR BILL.

I have walked out of one other restaurant and you bet your butt we walked out of Charlie’s. Absolutely ridiculous.

But a HUGE shout out to Costco for coming through with pizza and a hotdog in less than 10min. You the real MVP.

My first job was rolling dough at Charlie's pizza house in Yankton, South Dakota. When I saw that Charlie's was opening up in Sioux Falls, I was a little bit hesitant, because I know the secret is in the ovens 😉. I have to say, they have nailed it at the Sioux Falls branch. Just as good, if not better than Yankton. Excellent work guys! Thank you!

I ordered takeout for the first time today. My pizza came with no cheese. I can pick up a gift card. However, that doesn't help me now.

Not enough artichokes on the Betty

We ordered a medium pepperoni and olive pizza. It looked like a small. It was $22. While at Charlie’s Marco’s TV ad showed a large for $8.99. Charlie’s was nearly empty. They’re overpriced.
