    Love it the pizza was very good The young man that took are order was very friendly and polite. Waited for 20m for our food (fresh and hot). He even brought it to our car.

    Huge & delicious calzone. Hit the spot! 2 of us were full.

    Good service. The cheese & pep calzone was delicious & filled us up. It's a small trailer just a couple minutes away from Pala. A great find.

    1st time here. Prices are right. Good service.

    Checking places close to Pala, I stumbled across the ratings for Dj's. 5 stars? Really?? Are you sure??? Well wadda you know, they make a really good pizza for an excellent price. Even the personal size was loaded with cheese and a generous portion of sausage. The crust was nice and crispy. For a quick bite to eat, you can't really beat this place. It's not a boutique pizza if you're into that fancy, shmansy fusion stuff if that's your taste. This is a quality, traditional pizza the way it's meant to be. I'll be sure to pick up a full size pie to take back to Pala and avoid overpaying for a pizza that really isn't worth what the casino is asking. No need for Domino's or Pizza Hut when this place is less than 5 minutes away.

    Delicious! The photos don't do it justice. My family has always passed by this Pizza truck to and from the Casinos and that's a huge mistake we've been making for years!! We always seen it, but just didn't stop for whatever reason, but during the pandemic my husband and I have been trying to buy from small businesses. The quality of the Pizza is amazing! From the Taste of just the cheese alone, to the sauce, and then the dough! I regret not getting a larger size, but we got 3 small personal pizzas to try and now we can't wait to try the sandwiches and wings! If you're hungry, STOP here. You won't regret it! The pizza is sooo good & fresh, right out of the oven my hubby has the burn on his tongue to prove it-since he couldn't wait till it cooled down to eat haha! Oh and the owner being so friendly helped the experience as well! Definitely a new go to!

    Big portions for a small price. Their wings and calzones are delicious. Definitely recommend stopping by here when you can!

    Great employees and Great Fried Seafood Udon Noodle!!!…read more My family and I shared the Xiao Long Bao, the Fried Seafood Udon Noodle, the BBQ Pork Noodle Soup, and the Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce. The Xiao Long Bao comes with 5 of them, and they come with soy sauce and picked ginger. They look amazing, but most of the soup fell out because the dough stuck to the parchment paper. The meat inside the Xiao Long Bao is decent, and it pairs great with the pickled ginger and soy sauce. The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was a favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. It doesn't taste greasy, and everything in the dish is paired well together. The texture of the noodles were perfect, and there's no complaints about the dish. The BBQ Pork Noodle Soup tasted a bit greasy, but the noodles seem to pair well with the BBQ Pork Wontons. The wontons didn't have a strong BBQ Pork flavor, but it did taste different enough from regular pork wontons where you could consider it BBQ Pork. The Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce looked great, but it also tasted greasy. The components in the fried rice were great, but there was just this greasy taste all over. The service was amazing. All the employees were so kind, helpful, and all smiles. They're all very quick, and they're all great! There's plenty of seating inside of the restaurant, and there's seating outside the restaurant. The line for ordering at the restaurant can become long very quickly, but luckily the employees are fast with taking orders and placing orders. The restaurant is unfortunately in a "Smoking Allowed" zone of the casino so it can get a bit nauseating to eat outside the restaurant. I would come here again! The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was great, and I'd get it again!

    This is a good go to place for dinner because of how quick they make your food, also the food comes…read moreout in large portions so keep that in mind, the place has some seating in the area but i would recommend the seating outside of their area because usually it's crowded. The food is delicious and i wish they made larger options for their dumplings.

    This small shops serves up some really good barbecue. Hot tip: Come earlier in the day, if you…read morecan. Like at most BBQ places, they may run out of certain foods later in the day. You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.
