Great pepperoni pizza, I personally didn't like the sausage. The pizza was baked well, with an almost NY style crust with smaller pieces. The x-tra large was just big enough to feed 3 very hungry people, it was a lg at any other place. Very good, but doesn't stand out as the best, I still haven't found the best around the lake. read more

Worst pizza I ever ate and paid so much for, fooled by reviews! Crust was something that was scraped off a frozen pizza and toppings that could've been purchased at the dollar store. and top it off I paid to have it delivered. read more

Everything is made and prepared fresh each day. And is the cheapest in town!!!!!! They also have corn dogs

Everything including customer relations between employees and the customers and better pizza selection and longer hours of operation

Went got $18 large pizza of the month or whatever was on the board. Really strange that they only have two or three pizzas but it doesn't look like they carry anything fresh. Every pizza consisted of the same toppings, except for one having pineapple and one having olives or one had tomatoes. The crust was or is old, stale, and definitely not made by them. There's no sign of the smell or fresh yeast in it. It seems to be some bulk dough maybe not even pizza dough, even then no seasoning no salt no olive oil incorporated into it. Do Not Get The Ranch! it's a dollar a container and it's hidden Valley Ranch not just that it was old hidden Valley Ranch so it had that weird mayonnaise vinegar top where the consistency is different. I was really disappointed with you guys when I asked if you guys if you made your own ranch and you said yes. I paid for two and then proceeded to give me my order without the ranches so I had to go back inside and ask you directly, super unprofessional guys. There was three of you there and I was the only person they are within the half an hour that I sat around waiting. The funniest part is I was ready to order as soon as I walked in, but the girl was on the phone. The ponytail guy was ignoring me, and the bald guy was walking around just looking at stuff purposely not making eye contact. Owners and employees take the time to make your own dough. It's super simple and it'll actually be cheaper. Take the 10 minutes it takes to mix the mayonnaise the milk in the ranch packet so that you guys have decent ranch. I don't want to be rude rude but my high school pizza and ranch was better. Since everybody read this, I'll give you the breakdown on price. $18 large pizza, uncooked or take and bake $2 ranch sides that are hidden valley and old stale and bursting from gases $0.60 credit card surcharge for anyone using card. Tip! I was very offended with my service waiting ten minutes purposely being ignored so I put zero or $0 as tip since it was takeout to go and no one was serving me and I was standing there literally waiting for my food like McDonald's. Tip #2!- Yes! They try to charge you two tips! I was so lost I just watched the guy stare me down as I put no tip in the credit card machine and he prints another copy out with another open tip line! I gave in and gave a buck just to stop him but really?! You have like a 60-year-old dude guilt tripping you for tips after they ignored you for 10 minutes while the place was completely empty. It felt so weird. I'm almost convinced if I put 0 tip paper after I had put zero on the digital charge he would've tried to ask for a cash tip an pulled out a plastic jar out of nowhere. Ambiance is an empty dusty off white commercial kitchen that has a white board and three people who don't want to be there. I read previous reviews and thought they were really mean, but they were honest. read more

Cecil's Take N Bake Pizza - That disgusting premade dough, no seasoning no fresh yeast no corn base no salt even and extremely thick. - Pizza Near Me - Clearlake, California

Ordered pizza last night at about 5:45, arrived at 6:54pm (on my way home from work) to find the place closed...doors locked, lights off, nobody inside. Didn't see anyone outside either, as if they had already been gone a while. It's already bad enough they close at 7:00 and are closed Sunday (football day) and Monday. They should be open until 9:00 like other pizza places! The reason I haven't stopped going here is because I prefer Cecil's pizza over other places, but this isn't the first time this has happened and it's so unprofessional/inconsiderate! I had to scramble and find another option for dinner last minute, ruined my whole evening. read more

Fantastic pizza but please be open on weekends. Close on mondays. We need you on Sunday!

While the pizza isn't the best in clearlake, it definitely is worth trying out for the price, since take-and-bake is generally around half the price of any decent cooked pizza. The staff can seem moody at times, but properly answers questions and helps with deciding what pizza to take home. The one big thing I dislike is the owner/manager. They never seem to be in (whenever I have come by for food) and the signs on the window, as well as some of the rules in the restaurant, are just plain annoying. I mean, open 6 days a week? I know it's usually safe to assume Sunday is the day off, but I wasn't sure, and when I called to place an order it just kept ringing until I eventually reached what sounded like a fax machine (they could at least have an automated message informing customers of operational hours. I also was bothered by how they deal with specials, which in this case was two larges, one pepperoni and the other pepperoni, bacon, garlic and olives, but they would not let me get the deal with minus garlic/olives! I didn't even want to swap toppings, I just wanted them to minus 2 toppings, which would have saved them both a few seconds when making the pizza, as well as some cents/dollars in ingredients, so I ended up paying more money for less toppings. Aside from all that, it's decent enough if you want to stick to exactly what's on paper, but don't expect to eat from their if you are hungry for pizza on a Sunday night. I have one pizza night every other week, and they did not get my business this time, oh well. read more

Cecil's Take N Bake Pizza - the outside of the restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Clearlake, California

Probably my favorite place to get pizza anywhere in Lake County. When I lived in Clearlake, my family would order Cecil's almost every week. The pizza totally has that fresh taste to it as everything tastes fresh from the sauce to the cheese and the toppings are premium quality as well. Best of all, it's really good pizza sold for a very cheap price! read more

Best take n bake pizzas ever! Love this place...lots of sauces plus toppings to create your own pizza. Friendly. Clean.

Closes at 7pm and they are closed on Sunday. Surprised they are still in business. If somebody else opens a take and bake Cecil's will be out out of business fast. read more

The pizza was much better than any of the other pizza places around Clearlake and it's also less expensive than getting one already bakes even though that is an option here. Kind of awkward when you walk in though. Wasn't really greeted and being the first time there we weren't really sure what to do. But it turned out okay and didn't have to wait too long for the the unbaked pizzas. read more

Usually get take and bake and the dough and pizza as a whole are pretty good. I had no idea the crust is different if you have them cook it... the dough was very dry and chewy clearly taste and feels like premade dough. Called and tried to speak to the owner but instead spoke with Chris who assured me it's made fresh... regardless it was inedible and for $20.08 a terrible deal for cardboard crust. I would have given it 3 stars if they gave my money back... but they didn't I didn't even get a receipt for my purchase, not very professional at this joint. If you want a great made fresh everyday dough go to DJ'S pizza in lower lake. And nearly the same price. read more

Cecil's Take N Bake Pizza - Worst cardboard like crust I have eaten and for $20.08 looks like premade dough. - Pizza Near Me - Clearlake, California

They have the best pizza in Lake County! Papa Murphy's crust is GROSS, Cecil's is so much better. In fact, I like Cecil's crust more than any other pizza around. Lower Lake pizza is decent, same goes for Pogo's, but I'll take a Cecil's Detrick pizza over either one...any day of the week....and on Monday's you can't get a Pogo's pizza...but Cecils's is open ;-) Again, if you think Papa Murphy's crust is sickening like I do.... you need to try Cecil's, it's worth the drive, even from Lakeport to Clearlake. read more

This place seems to be fairly popular amongst some people, but I can't really see why. It is cheaper than going to the Pizza Parlor, yes, but the quality is lower as well. Honestly there isn't much to say. It is pretty standard take-n-bake. I don't personally think it is that great, but it isn't bad either. The place always looks clean and they have some nicely priced specials. It is a fluke to get someone on the phone, and I have come by during normal hours to find them closed. Some of the staff (usually teens) are really sweet kids, and some are snotty brats.. You just never know what you'll get. read more

Needed a pizza bad called just before it closed and raised to get it. It was great took it home popped it in the oven and it was great It was cheep and good go and get one toy will love it. read more

I have taken home several take and bakes. They are good pizzas. It beats cooking when I am really tired? ITS TAKE N BAKE For crying out loud...... read more

We were having a moving sale, so I ordered two large pizzas to feed those who came to help out. Everyone wanted to know where the pizza came from, and there were yums all around. My brother is a foodie from the bay area and was super-impressed. One of the pizzas I ordered was the Dietrick, and it was a huge hit. If you like garlic, YOU WILL LOVE THE DIETRICK! read more

Great pizza and prices.......................but HORRIBLE service staff/order taker. no smile, no sense of humor, they stare u down as if your going to steal their pizza ideas lol....wow.... read more

Good quick home baked pizza with a lot of options you won't find in the frozen section in the grocery. Good choice when you want to eat at home and want a unique pizza. read more

Best pizza in Clearlake! Love the pizza of the month and always have pleasant service.

Cant beat it for the price. The take and bake can get a little greasy sometimes though. Usually pretty quick though and its nice to have something cheap and easy i can pick up and toss in the oven but isnt frozen pizza. read more

Wow I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews I can't really say anything bad about this place cuz the last time I was here was in 2008 and from what I remember the food was delicious and it is a very cool concept you take it home and cook it yourself from what I remember was the best pizza place in Lake County beside round Table Pizza in Lakeport read more

Pizza is good I'd recommend it an the prices aren't bad either..it's right next to movies theater ..that's a bonus I think.bbq chicken pizza is bomb read more

Yummy pizza. Take n bake is convienent. They have great deals for the pizza of the month

I think Cecil's is the best pizza in Clearlake. Cecil's also now cooks pizza , but I prefer Take & Bake this time of year, helps warm up the house!! I have tried other 2 places in Clearlake, Not so Good. If you get the special, there is no changes to it, but this is OK, have a pizza adventure. Order your own choice, fixed up as you wish. If you order X-Tra cheese, you will get. Follow baking instructions, a yummy meal is coming. I have always found counter help to be pleasant, guess other folks hit on a bad day. read more

By far, the best pizza EVER....am delighted as the store is a little anti-handicapped...Cecil (or his son, forget his name) runs out with the pizza when he sees my Mini Cooper...am so delighted because seriously....in his hemisphere...the one a Calistoga is close is a close second (before the fires)~ is a routine pizza anymore...those Kirkland take and bakes from IGA are HORRIBLE~ chemical madness...but this is a serious pizza...and those who do not like the leftover crust...are you kidding? gobble that down...what is stoppin' ya~ KUDOS to your team...always win my dinner~ read more

The Sweetie Pie is the dankest! Love you place. The prices are just right and the staff if super friendly.

Cecil's is a family owned business that cares about it's customers. I love the menu and the staff. You can either take and bake or bake and take. I love this concept. I normally bake and take depending on the time of year or how lazy I am that day. I have never had a bad experience with this restaurant. read more

They do quite well for a non-chain Take-n-Bake. I decided to have pizza the other day. I ordered their monthly special which is a Large for $10. (sizes - Mini=??, med=12, lg=14, Xlg=16, Family=18 and Party=20) May 2010 special is Pepperoni + Pineapple + Garlic I thought it was good, but a bit shy on Pepperoni and Pineapple. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Two days ago, decided to go back for a different pizza. I ordered their Large "Cecil's Bomb" ($14) It was also good. I believe this was a better buy than their Special. (Bomb = Pepperoni + Sausage + Salami + Ground Beef + Olives + Mushrooms + Bell Peppers and Tomatoes) I did not pre-order as I wished to compare my previous visits impressions, Service was excellent, lots of enthusiasm from workers. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Save yourself some time and call ahead i.e., walk-in, walk-out. -and- if desired, they'll bake it for an additional $4. Note: I've never ordered over the phone, so not sure how that process works. I just did a search for their website, couldn't find one. Maybe they'll start a basic site with at least their menu listed. Those with GPS -- N38.9632 W122.6300 (DD) read more

This pizza place is located to the right of the local theatre. it offers you bake it or they bake it deals. i am repeat customer there. i find the large pepporoni to be a good size for the price. i dont remember seeing any tables to eat there. it seams to be mainly take out place. would i go again? yes would i recommend to others? yes read more

Okay- so after 40 years I've come to understand that an Italian husband cannot keep that smile from drooping if he doesn't get his pizza fix regularly. Tony ( my hubby) broke his neck in an auto accident a couple decades ago and spent time in traction, accompanied by a bland diet. When finally out of traction and into a body cast he begged for pizza! He said, "Kitty, you don't understand! If an Italian doesn't get pizza they die!!!!" Our kids started pleading , "Mommy go get him a pizza!" That was one of the few times that I remember him being agreeable to take out pizza. He isn't always in the mood to visit a pizza parlor and he (usually) HATES take out/delivery, because of how soggy the pizza gets by the time it reaches his mouth. I used to make pizza for him, but let's face it- these Lake County summers don't exactly need anymore heat ie oven at 425 for almost an hour. Can't tell you what finding Cecil's Take N Bake Pizza has done for keeping Tony's smile fixed firmly on his face!! Their crust is fabulous~!! and Love their menu. They also have fantastic specials that actually makes it quite economical! So I've given them 5 stars plus 5 heartss and 5 happy faces!! ps I recommend their garlic sauce YUM!!! read more

Hands down the rudest group of jerks work there. Every time I call in I get horrible service and made to feel like an inconvenience. I really enjoy the food, but the owner allows this type of behavior and service to continue is beyond me. I will be driving now to the better pizza place in Lake County which is Pogo's Pizza. I would rather drive 20+ mins to get better service and better food. Thanks for my pizza decision making this much easier. read more

The crust of the pizza was very good but...the content was not more than ok, nothing great. I found the price of the unbaked pizza to be about double of what I'm used to, it is not worth the price of gas to come back, I have a pizza place right by me. read more

We have always got an excellent pizza here. I call ahead and it's always ready for me and the employees have been courteous.

Great pizza horrible service. The woman taking my order was very rude and disrespectful I won't be back nor will any of my friends or family. read more

I went to Cecil's for the first time last week. I was impressed by how nice everyone behind the counter was, and how short the wait was. So impressed, we're having it for dinner tonight! read more

Asked for any specials, it was my son's birthday and he wanted pepperoni, they said there weren't any specials available. Guy with pony tail starts making my pizza, girl took my money. Right away on a chalkboard I notice that for an Xtra $5.00 I can get two of the same pizzas for the price. I ask if I can add the $5. and get the Xtra pizza. Blonde guy with pony tail smiles a rude creepy grin and tells me it is too late, my order has begun. I take my one mediocre pepperoni pizza and I will never go there again. I had told them it was my son's birthday before I ordered, very mean people. I was the only customer in the store on a week day and it wouldn't of been a big deal to take my $5.00 and add the Xtra pizza. As I left the creepy dude rudely wishes me a good day. He could have made a sick boy and his family who was going thru a rough time a bit more happy but he chose to make a very difficult time worst. read more
