    Medium 1/2 cheese, 1/2 Sausage, Pepperoni, Bell Pepper, Onion & Mushroom on thin crust...perfect!
    Misty Jo A.

    When you walk up to this place it "seems" like a hole in the wall kind of place....but when you walk in it's a different story...plenty of seating and it's homey atmosphere. And they're old-school in the that you order you pizza and they write it down on the old triplicate forms...IFYKYK...it was great...our little server was wonderful...(sadly I failed to get her name for a shout out)..she knew her stuff and was personable...and she knew how to count change which is a dying art!! Now to the pizza!!! We ordered a medium thin crust and the crust was perfect...not crunchy like a cracker but that perfect crisp...loved it!! The cheese was a quality cheese because we let it cool too long on the way back to our hotel but the cheese didn't get hard or salty, it still tasted awesome... There was lots of sauce and it was the perfect blend of spices and sweet that we love... We also ordered half with pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms and they did not scrimp on those... I'd say all in all in-spite of it being cold ( our fault not theirs) this was one of the better pizzas we've had in a while...definitely recommend giving them a try and when we come through again we'll be ordering from them and hopefully that time not letting it get cold...

    Pastrami sub

    Pastrami sub was amazing! great service as well. everyone who works there is super nice and friendly. will be back!

    Sorry looking pastrami sandwich.

    This is an update to a review I made earlier in the year. I was very complimentary of the pastrami sandwich as being the best or one of the best I've ever had! Unfortunately, I've been in twice since that visit and both times the pastrami sandwich was a 3 out of 10. Looking like store-bought pastrami that they ran through the microwave. Very disappointing and a MASSIVE drop-off from the spring. I'm sure this place has a lot of great items but the pastrami sandwich is absolutely not one! See attached photo - this is what it's looked like the last two times. I will definitely be back to Pizza Chief because it's local and we love that, but either fix this sandwich or just remove it from the menu because this ain't it! Giving 4-stars and not less because I don't want to hurt their rating, but I do want ownership/management to see the feedback on this item.

    This is such a nostalgic and delicious place. I've been coming here since I was a kid or ordering delivery and it's always so good. It's more affordable than some others. They let me order the personal size of the bbq chicken pizza! It's so good!!!! The turkey sandwich was great. The salad bar has SO many options and I. Need to remember this salad bar bc there aren't many left like this one. The place is clean and the staff are friendly and I'm so happy it hasn't changed.

    Pizza Chief isn't just about the food--though their delectable pizzas and scrumptious sandwiches would be reason enough to keep coming back. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible sense of community they've cultivated. The crew here operates like a family, and that warmth extends beyond the kitchen. They host fantastic events like Back to School supply drives for local non-profits and comedy shows to uplift local comics. Even though I don't live in the same county, I'm more than willing to make the trek here multiple times a month. Pizza Chief isn't just a pizza shop; it's a place where community and great food come together in the best possible way.

    Was looking at different food places around me since I'm housesitting/dogsitting in the area and this one caught my attention because it wasn't very far away from where I am. Looked on the menu online and prices are fair and pizzas looked great but then I see something everyone wants to see... the specials! Every day of the week is a specific special such as today's Monday special which is a large one topping pizza for $15 and something change. Couldn't resist that offer so I placed the order and the person on the other end of the line was very accommodating and helpful despite my hearing problem I have and was able to place an order ready for pickup within 15 minutes. It filled my car up with that enticing aroma of freshly made pizza that I couldn't wait to get back asap to eat! They're worth it and very delicious! Dough is good, plenty of cheesy goodness to satisfy but also not over done with the cheese. Nice savory Pepperoni with little crispy rims and not to mention a good crust as well to round it all out. Definitely coming back here again since it was only 5 minutes away for pickup and the monday deal is not to be missed if you're in the mood for pizza like I was! Thanks again to everyone there who helped me out to get this delicious pie! You guys are awesome! Keep on keeping on!!

They always have their plain cheese with spinach as a staple and you can opt in to add some various toppings for an up charge. I believe they switch out their special flavors monthly, usually 2 different ones. A couple months ago they had a 2 spicy flavors which wasn't my favorite since I can't handle my heat, but my most recent visit they had this potato and pesto pizza which was absolutely to die for. I'm a sucker for pesto so maybe I'm a bit biased but I would definitely go back for that or to see what other new flavors they have in the future. The service is good, usually not too busy so they are pretty quick. They did not yet have any slices of the pesto pizza yet when I last went so they made a whole fresh pizza once we ordered which took about 15-20 minutes. They allow friendly well-behaved dogs. It's pretty small inside, only about 4 tables or so but there's benches throughout Main Street if you want to sit outside. Overall great experience every time and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

After a quick check on yelp, this place came highly recommended. I was a little bit worried when I arrived. We were the only people in the entire restaurant. My wife and I were seated quickly. I did appreciate that the menu was not overly complicated. It made it easy to make our selections. They also did offer happy hour specials during the week. I opted for the double Smashburger and fries. The Smashburger comes with their signature sauce, which you can order at a few different spice levels. The girl at the counter said that normally people go with the regular spice level so I opted for that. When my burger and fries arrived, I was quite surprised at the portion sizes. My basket was filled with french fries and my burger was pleasantly large. In regards to the flavor I do have to say this was probably one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had. I didn't want to note that they do use sweet pickles on their burgers here. But it just works with the flavor that they're going for. My wife ordered the "my girlfriend is not hungry" sampler platter. This came with fries, onion rings, pretzel bites chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Everything was great tasting. Their onion rings were cooked to absolute perfection. The restaurant itself on the inside is a little bit small so I could imagine on days that they are busy. It might get a little bit cramped. I did also wanna mention that I did like that. They had a changing table in the restroom. That was a nice touch that you honestly do not see at a lot of restaurants even the mainstream ones.

It was a very nice combination and they have the yummy thousand island dressing on there similar to In-N-Out.

    Meatless and mad…read more Topper's has been my go to pizza place ever since it opened in Ventura. 90% of the time I love the pizza but not tonight. I ordered a medium 1/2 cheese with extra red sauce and 1/2 Veggie, kinda a standard order. Tonight the cheese side was great as usual but the veggie had some type of unknown meat mixed in above the veggies. For many reasons, too many to list I have not eaten meat since 1975. I know the taste of good veggies and deplore the taste of any type of meat. Because there are so many veggies in the pizza I'd have inspect the pizza with a magnifying glass to make sure it's meatless, but should I have to? I took a bite of the veggie and tasted the meat hidden among the veggies and spit it out. No more veggie pizza for me. Come on topper's. Can't you give a loyal customer what they order? No meat means no meat. You Owen the Ventura County pizza market, you have a good product but BE CARFUL. I'm mid July Ventura gets a slice house pizza place. I know I'm one loyal Toppers customer that will give Slice House a good look.
