Our girls finished their last dance recital of the year this week. A bunch of the dance families came here after the last recital on 6/28/26. There were plenty of tables, but we all went into the big party room. We arrived around 7:30pm and it closed at 9pm on a Sunday. There was plenty of parking. Our family got a small order of buffalo wings, a large pepperoni and a small cheese pizza and a beer. It was approximately $60+ The wings were crispy with the right amount of buffalo sauce and a side of ranch. The pizzas had crispy crusts so it was all delicious. There were a good number of TVs mounted and an adjacent game area. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a great way to end our dance season! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. It is hard times right now and I just expect small business to at least be honest. We got two sandwiches which on their website states includes fries also when placing my order via phone they asked if I would like fries and I said yes to both. We got a meatball sandwich and a super sub and got home and they were both missing. I call in and they go on to say they are not included? Makes no sense to tell me no when your website clearly tells me that's included. Ridiculous. What they are charging and then to not give us all that should be included is what is so off putting. We have had them before and got fries which was maybe last month and that was a great experience. This was not. Check your stuff before you leave after a pick up. read more

The pizza was good and tasted fresh, but I don't think it was worth the price. I ordered an XL and a large, and honestly the XL looked more like a large while the large looked closer to a medium. The total came out to about $80 for two pizzas, which felt pretty steep considering the portion sizes. To be fair, part of that is on me--I ordered on the fly and should have paid more attention to the prices beforehand. Still, I expected larger pizzas for what I paid. Good food, but the value just wasn't there for me. read more

Nice laid back place. Clean place few tv with sports. A section in the back for arcade games. Staff super friendly and helpful. Tried meatball spaghetti, small half cheese pizza and other half tomato and basic yummy, kids chicken tenders and garage brewing mango cart hef super yummy. We will be back. Have a nice day! read more

Service okay. Atmosphere was ok. Pizza was good, fresh toppings, not too much sauce, and crust was great. The wings could use more sauce, they were nothing special, as were the breadsticks. For the price I'd definitely just grab some ingredients at home and make my own everything. We were recommended this place after a bad experience at another pizza spot. Good pizza. Will I be back? Maybe, but just for the pizza. read more

Service, excellent . Thank you, Chris. Pizza, some of the best I've ever had. It's slow right now because nobody knows how epic it is. Get your pizza fix here. "Bottom carriage was crunchy. Toppings were fresh, mushrooms, artichoke, jalapeño, perfect." 9.11/10 read more

Service is great! I love when they come around and ask if we need anything Their pizza is probably best in town! Super soft (completely beats Stadium pizza) Their deals are great, we got a 2 topping Large pizza, a huge salad (super bomb), and 16 wings all for $60!! That's a great deal and was super filling for quite a few of us. We also got the meatballs with garlic bread. They're so soft, saucy and cheesy My kids have a blast playing, completely worth it because the food is really good and service is great. Love it here! So sad I only took one picture but I was excited AND hungry read more

I've been coming here over 30yrs I love this place but the pizza fir me is starting to loose what made it great the family ambiance is still great expensive but didn't matter because everything was delicious and loved going I'm not sure what it is the cheese taste different not enough sauce toppings down to the cut ..it was very sloppy pcs were very un evened not cut all the way wing use to be small crispy and very saucy seem oily now ..I will still continue to go but can't say it's my favorite or recommend it .. read more

Don't get me wrong.. the food here is great, but the prices are horrendous! Better off going to Michaels Pizza like 10 min down the road in Wildomar read more

Our food is always great and we love the staff. The ambiance is casual which is just perfect for us.

We ordered their $30 special with pizza and wings and garlic cheese bread as an extra appetizer and drinks. The value is still there. Pizza was good; the dough is a bit thick to my liking; I'm more of a ny style or napoleon style pizza myself but the wifey and kids e joyed it. I enjoyed the wings and garlic cheese bread. The wings were crunch and sauced well. Garlic cheese bread had a good amount of crunch and cheese pull. Customer service was great; we were greeted with open arms. Ambiance is good. Quiet pizza spot with a few TVs on in the background with sports playing. read more

My Buddy's Pizza is the best pizza I've ever had. We drive from Temecula. It's so good.!

I have been here a few times and each time it's always so good, their pizza is very fresh and flavorful a lot of different menu options for toppings etc and their creations are very good. They have great specials during the week as well. Games for kids and just overall cool spot to go to for food and to hang out/socialize. Definitely recommend trying this pizza spot read more

This is still my #1 Pizza place and not just because Im a long time local. The ingredients here are top notch and so much more flavorful than the other shops around the area. The calzones and hot sandwiches are seriously to die for and I really appreciate their attention to detail in regards to how you like your crust. Im more of a well done, crispy crust guy and the team here nails it perfect every time. The atmosphere usually pretty laid back here and its a great spot to watch the game over beers and pizza with friends. read more

I recently went here for my nieces birthday, and had never been prior to this. The pizza is good but nothing special. Additionally I ordered a cheese ravioli for my 2 year old son to eat, he did not like it at all. I tried it and it was very bland and flavorless. He did like the garlic bread it came with though. The staff were polite and professional but I wouldn't say they were friendly. The arcade in the pizzeria is decently sized and has plenty of prizes for kids to win. The party room that was reserved was sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant and created a private atmosphere for my family and I. Overall it was a pleasant experience but I think that was more due to being with family then the food or the atmosphere. I would say that if you're looking for a place to have a kids birthday in the area, you can certainly do worse. - Mr.Narrwahl read more

I first ate at this place around 1996 when I moved to Lake Elsinore. Over the years we've ate here for numerous birthdays & team sports banquets, and it always came through for us. I'm writing this review because I hadn't eaten here since around 2019, and last night my family was looking for a pizza place to go to after my grandsons football game. It was after 9:30 pm & only place open in close proximity was My Buddies pizza in Lake Elsinore, which closes at 10 pm (so we had to hurry). We arrived around 9:40 pm & the place was empty and they were cleaning and getting ready to close; however, we placed our order & got our pizza pretty quickly & the staff never once rushed us or made us feel like we were imposing on them (because we clearly weren't able to eat & leave by 10 pm). We were able to eat and enjoy our family time & ended up leaving a little after 10 but the really great part of all this is that our pizza was f****ing amazing! Plenty of cheese & toppings & crust was cooked to perfection. I don't usually get this excited over food, but time & time again, we are disappointed with pizza places, or the attitudes of the workers (or both). But last night these guys nailed it and hit it out of the park! read more

I like their pizza. Always great and not greedy on the toppings. My girlfriend's family has been going here for years. And now they have me going here. Service is usually good and it's great to see the game room for kids. Pretty clean at times pending on the crowd. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work! read more

My work buddy introduced staff to My Buddies Pizza Great deals and tasted delicious, when a friend recommends it takes a different spin on it Thanks George for recommending, pizza for lunch today!!! Also like choices for people who don't eat meat, did someone say 5 cheese pizza, yes please read more

Although the pizza we ordered was good, I thought, based on other pizza restaurants, the price was high. We paid a little over 23.00 for a medium one topping pizza. We did one time also try their calzones with the same belief on price for what we received. read more

Want delivery in Lake Elsinore, but don't want a chain? Want to have a kids pizza party after the end of a season/for a birthday/reward? Want to go to a place where you can get a.good beer and maybe a couple of arcade games like back in the 80s and 90s? Seriously, this has that "vintage" post Watergate pizza place vibe down solid. Service is awesome, Delivery and in store. It doesn't take much to make this awesome, but they do it. This is your spot. It's your local big store pizza place, capable of holding a dozen or more under 15 yearolds. The pies are pretty good, solid options. A couple steps up from Costco, mainly because you got so many options. Go here when you.want to support a local institution, want some good pizza, like the old school feel. Not a MOD or Blaze but good old fashioned pizza read more

Definitely the best pizza in the area. Toppings are always fresh and plentiful. Their wings are yummy, salads are fresh and the sandwiches have always been delicious. Staff has always been nice and their delivery is also fast. If I had to pick a con, it would be the prices. But at the same time you definitely get what you pay for. Yes they are expensive but their food matches the price. read more

We were in town for sports and wanted something kid friendly....googled pizza and this came up with great reviews so decided to try it....I am not sure how and why they have great reviews because we had a horrible experience here. It started with waiting over an hour and a half for our food. We had to ask multiple times where our food was and we were told every time 10 more minutes. We had an older lady employee rolls her eyes at us when we told her we needed our food to go now. She seemed really inconvenienced that we asked to make it to go because I was tired of being there waiting I just wanted to go home. I gave two stars because when we did finally get our food the pizza was good. The antipasto salad was horrible. See picture of a ton of onions,wilted yellow lettuce, a few olives and the two pieces of meat (that my kids grabbed prior to photo taken)Will not be back if I'm ever in town. read more

The food is great and the people there are great. Been coming to My Buddies for 26 years.

Went back to the elsinore stadium pizza. So much better than the one in Wildomar. More space.Salad bar was nice and clean.Food was hot a little skimpy on the toppings for the price read more

I take home their pizza. Freshly made. Lots of choices I have purchased pizza from Buddy's over five years. Never disappointed. Also their ceasar salad is freshly made and delicious. Employees are always friendly. Great place read more

The food is delicious ! Pizza was fantastic ! It's a nice family atmosphere and the staff are all very nice . The place is very clean .

Super good excellent service big portions fair prices nice ambient family oriented lovet!

I came here for the first time and had a calzone. I was worried it would be too much bread or that the bread would be tough but it was just perfect in my opinion! Soft bread and perfect bread-meat-cheese-sauce ratio! It also had like a garlic butter brushed on the top of it adding even more flavor and delicious-ness! I also enjoyed the fries, they were like steak fries: thick cut, fluffy inside, and crispy on the outside. I wish I took a picture but I was so tired and hungry I just wanted to dig in as soon as it was set down in front of me. The staff were friendly and checked in for feedback on the food or if we needed anything extra, but gave us the space we needed to eat in peace. Unfortunately, the furniture looks a bit worn down with some of the bench seating having holes or the cushion being so worn away you can see the springs through the material. Overall definitely enjoyed it! read more

Best pizza it's up there with stadium but lower priced as well and it's close to my home but hey they deliver so there ya go!

Great food. They could use a little manners and professionalism. Overall nice place but staff bit off. My recommendation. The calzone with pepperoni, sausage and bacon was delicious. I think this place could be a solid 5 star place if they adjust their attitudes and smile more often and are a bit more attentive to people coming In and ordering food. read more

Good pizza, plenty of toppings. A little expensive but I guess even thing in California is now.

I love this place.. they have got the best Pizza!!! I'm glad I found a pizza restaurant where the staff keeps their standards consistently high. In addition to their pizza, other items on the menu are just as enjoyable! read more

My Buddies Pizza - Large Pizza x2: "Butcher Block" pizza (top), "Best Buddy" Pizza (bottom). 5 stars - Pizza Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

My Buddy's Pizza has to be in my top 3 favorite pizzas. I've been coming here as a child with my family when we lived in Lake Elsinore and whenever we wanted to have a family night we would come here to My Buddys and order some pizza, spuddy chips, mozzarella sticks and have a blast. Not to mention they have a little arcade room which was an even perfect addition for my 6 year old self. The atmosphere is cozy and warm as their motto is "Where Friends Meet Friends". Your food is freshly made to order and served to you in a timely manner. They deliver and they accept apple pay by the way. My Buddy's Pizza definitely holds a special place in my heart and i'll continue to bring my family here as I grow older. Support your local businesses, you won't be disappointed. read more

So I've never really been a huge fan of Pizza but when my hubby first brought home a pizza from My Buddies Pizza I was transformed! One of the first Pizza's that we tried from there was theit the works pizza. I believe that that's what it's called. Anyways it was one of the BEST Pizza's I've ever had!! The garlic that they put in it was so yummy! A great addition to the pizza! On our next visit we ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza and that was also one of the best BBQ Chicken Pizzas that I've ever had! With the red onions and the cilantro combined with the bbq chicken and sauce, it was so bomb! We will definitely be ordering from there again! Their Pizza is FIRE! read more

Since moving here, I've actually only tried 2 pizzerias other than MBP. While 1 of the 2 others I've had is also very good (that being Pizza Bowl), MPB ended up being so good, that even when I'd like to try or visit other pizzerias it just never ends up happening because it's so hard to not pick My Buddies every time when I know no matter what I will consistently get an amazingly tasty pizza with loads of toppings generously spread all over of it and you can trust when you ask for extra cheese, you're gonna get cheese. You combine that with every employee here being nice and accommodating and willing to fix any issues you've got, it's hard to justify going anywhere else. I will also be transparent here, any pizzeria you go to nowadays that isn't fast food is quite pricey and MBP isn't any better in that regard which you can't blame these places much for when much cheaper "good enough" fast food pizza's that most people are fine with settling for are pressuring local businesses. But let me be clear, before going to MBP for the first time, I always held the opinion that no pizza is good enough to be more than ~20$ or it's overpriced and MBP made me a believer because I realized for the first time it's not that pizza's can't be worth well over 20$, it's just hard to find places that can actually make a pizza good enough to justify the premium. I'll put it this way, every so often I get a pizza here with every single topping they have that comes out to be not too shy of 100$, and I got no problem paying it, their pizzas are that good. edit: I neglected to mention, their fried chicken is also 10/10, I've only had their boneless wings though as I'm not a big fan of bone-in. Oh, their calzone, everything I said about their pizza, just as a giant hot pocket. I also have to mention I'm not sure where they get their ranch from, or if they make it, or what kind it is, but for whatever reason even their ranch is absurdly good. Straight up, get a beer, some of their ranch, and dip your pizza crust scraps into it, omg bro. read more

Food is good and they have a great staff. There is a large arcade area where you can earn tickets and turn then in for prizes. It's not in a prime location and the interior needs a makeover but for a family night of pizza, chicken strips, appetizers and beer it was good. read more
