Butby 150pm the food was still not ready, I think they forgot to make the food. Then I asked u know what let's cancel the fish and chips and I'll just take the slices. Took an extra 8mins to get the refund. They were like u still want the food? I didn't know if they were messing with me or not so I said no. Food looks great, I just had an impatient kid with me and a cook who took 40+mins to make phone ordered fish and chips. I think I heard the hostess put in the order after she placed the slices in the box, I heard her remention my order and I asked if it was done, she said No, she was just asking the cook for the status after I had already waited for I wanna say 4 ppl to order then my order was rechecked and still not ready.

The lasagna was probably the best I have ever eaten. It had home made noodles, loads of cheese, red sauce, ham, and topped with cream sauce. My mouth is watering again just writing this review.

Hubby and I went in with pretty high expectations. Unfortunately, our first visit didn't live up to the hype for us. We started with the charcuterie board, which we found very much lacking. I also wish I had ordered the dressing for my salad on the side, because it was simply too much for my taste. Then came the pizza. The crust was much too floppy--and if you're someone who doesn't like floppy pizza, you know exactly what I mean. The atmosphere didn't help. The restaurant felt cramped, stuffy, and surprisingly warm, and this wasn't even during the summer. We decided to give Allmine another try when we went back with friends who were interested in checking out the new vegan menu. They thought the vegan selection was adequate and said they would probably return because good vegan options aren't always as common as you might expect. Hubby and I shared the Margherita pizza this time, hoping our first experience had just been an off night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed again. The crust had the same texture we didn't care for, and there was a very minimal amount of cheese across the pizza. It was okay, but for us, definitely closer to a 2 out of 10 than the amazing pizza we had heard so much about. Will we be back? Probably not. After two visits, the combination of the cramped and uncomfortable atmosphere and food that just hasn't impressed us makes this one a pass. Although I have to admit--the lasagna at the table two tables over looked pretty darn good.

Good pizza decent price. Now I need to fill in the essay requirement for yelp. Now this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the contractor of a town called Oceanside In west Palmdale born and raised On the xbox was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool And all shooting some elites outside of the halo 3 When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it." First class, yo, this is bad Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like? Hmm, this might be alright. But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat? I don't think so I'll see when I get there I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air Well, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, "Nah, forget it." - "Yo, home to Bel-Air." I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo home smell ya later." I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air read more

Big Bob's Best Pizza seriously lives up to its name. From the first bite, you can tell they don't cut corners. The crust was perfectly baked--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--and the sauce had that rich, balanced flavor that makes you want another slice immediately. The toppings were fresh and generous, and the cheese pull was exactly what you hope for when you grab a hot slice. Everything tasted high quality and made with care. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, great for family nights or just grabbing pizza with friends. Service was friendly and fast, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a go-to pizza spot, Big Bob's Best Pizza is definitely it. Easy 5 stars. I'll be back for more. read more

This is the best pizza for the price! They have a great selection of extra, quality ingredients and appetizers, such as; chicken tenders (my favorite), hot wings w/ ranch or bleu. There are 6 selections of salads and 9 different pizzas but you can alter it to your hearts content! They make the best Waikiki pizza! They also have Calzones, lasagna, ravioli, and spaghetti, I'm stuck on the pizza and haven't tried any thing else. Eat in, take home, or get delivery. Grab a copy of the menu and a magnetic business card, you're going to need them!! read more

The pizza was absolutely delicious with a crispy yet soft crust that had just the right amount of chew. The sauce was rich and tangy, blending perfectly with the gooey melted cheese. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, adding great texture and balance to each bite. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere that made it a great place to sit and enjoy a good pizza. read more

This is our go-to take-out pizza place in Oceanside. It has a few tables, but not much atmosphere. The pizza, on the other hand, is wonderful! Our favorite is the pesto and garlic sauce - instead of tomato sauce - with artichoke hearts and sometimes another topping. The antipasto is also very good. We get it with the (packaged) Italian dressing. They normally put onions on it, but are happy to make a salad without onions if asked. read more
