    Pizza & fried chicken
    Grace A.

    It was the first time my hubby and I have been to this location for the bunch o lunch. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. The salad bar items were fresh and I especially enjoyed the pizza, mojo potatoes and fried chicken. Yum ! I wanted to try the other food options like the baked chicken , mashed potatoes, enchiladas, and spaghetti, but there's always next time. $15.99 for weekday bunch o lunch. Am I saying that right ? We ordered two buffet lunches, and two fountain drinks which came out to $40 and change which is a deal. Thank you for a wonderful and enjoyable lunch Shakey's we will be back ! !

    Welcome to Shakey's Pizza Parlor.

    Every childhood pizza starts at Shakey's. And their 80's 90's pizza commercial was every kids fantasy. lol. That being said let's begin this pizza parlor review. Shakey's Pizza Parlor is an America's pizza. It's the best place for kids to celebrate bdays or just an evening with your family. This is the oldest pizza parlor franchise in the world. I came to grab a thicc Texas BBQ pizza and potatoes. Both were great. I love their soft crust and the mozzarella cheese as well as the chicken. This particular location provides good service and friendly staffs. Interior was clean with multiple tv. Overall, I enjoyed my food. I recommend this Shakey's location.

    I cannot believe it has taken me this long to try Shakey's. Our sports team came here for an end-of-season party and it fit the bill perfectly. There is a side room that is quasi-separate so it serves well as a private room. Once the kids start feeling rowdy, they can play the arcade games in the small play area and redeem tickets for prizes. As for food, the pizza is solid, the salad bar is serviceable, the mojo potatoes were absolutely delicious, and the fried chicken and wings were shockingly good for a pizza joint. It is a loud, casual, no-fuss, kid-filled place and I love it for what it is.

    Came here for a late lunch on a hot day. The air condition was not too strong. There is a small parking lot available. The restaurant was not packed. We were able to find a table by the window. The table behind us was not cleaned when we were seated, and it was not cleaned when we left. They must be short staffed. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, fried chicken, and, mojo potato. Food was decent. It was a surprised to me that the pizza crust was crispy, and I like it. However, the fountain drinks were not my favorite. I tried a few of their sodas, and most of them were towards the sour side, especially Pepsi zero. Will come back for more mojo potato's and pizza.

    On a Thursday at 11am in August, I decided to eat here for lunch $14.99. I was the 2nd person in line. The door was opened on time and waited a few minutes for the cashier to take my order. I haven't been here in years. Inside has booths and big tables. The good is line up next to the cashier. Various pizza flavors, Salad bar, spaghetti, cheese bread, grill chicken, fried chicken thighs and drumsticks, mojos. I tried every type of pizza and all of them taste as good. The fried chicken was fried nicely kinda salty not greasy, the mojos was good too. The sever came by twice to pick up my dirty plates and replace with clean plates. After 3 plates of food I was too full. Nice AC. Good service. Plenty of parking.

    The service was great, the pizza was delicious, and my friends and I had a lot of fun. By the way, I absolutely love the marshmallow pizza, you have to try it!

    I spent my 27th birthday here with my family and I was very satisfied with the pizza and the service that was given. I never had any bad experience at this location. I would truly recommend others to come to this location for amazing pizza, great time and very friendly service. I appreciate all the staff for their patience and hospitality today towards my whole family. I will definitely come back for more family celebrations at Shakeys.

    Voucher to use on your next visit!

    5 Star review compared to Alhambra location. My BF and I enjoy indulging in lunch buffets that are cheap and have some healthy offerings like a good salad bar. Shakey's and Sizzler is where we frequent most for lunch buffets. I live like 5 mins from the Alhambra location but have been slightly disappointed in their quality recently so decided let's make the drive out to SG and try this location. Already off the bat I was thrilled because our receipt for 2 included a voucher of $3off our next visit (must be used within 7 days). That's great!!! This location also looks slightly smaller but way more organized with plenty of space between the tables and buffet so didn't have to deal with over crowding buffet lines. Arcade area is also in the back so a lot less noisier. Food offerings were about the same as Alhambra location but we did notice they had a few additional salad bar offerings like sun-dried tomatoes. What I was most impressed about was the freshness of all the pizza chicken and churros! I don't know if we just caught a good time or what but everything we had was fresh and crispy, not dried out not hard. Alhambra location, almost always the churros would be HARD. Even after the end of our meal just as lunch buffet was nearing it's last call, the food was still very good and churros stayed soft. Maybe it's the chef or how hot their heat lamps are I don't know. I just know I much much much prefer this location over Alhambra now and would gladly make the 30 min drive out. Water cups are small plastic cups located near the soda fountain. Water dispenser is in a separate jug, so you didn't have to wait for soda fountain access. Staff service was great, similar level of service as Alhambra location so props to Shakey's training and staff!

    When you walk in, you place your food order at the counter and pay for your drinks. Then you get a number to place on your table. After this you have to walk over to the bar to pick up your drinks which is inconvenient because there isn't always someone at the bar, so you would have to wait on many cases. Once you pick up your drinks, you find a table in a wide open dining hall with picnic style tables and booths against the walls. It can get very loud depending on the crowd but usually not too bad. The food is pretty good. I like their pizzas and the mojo potatoes. My favorites are the Firehouse, Shakey's Special, and the Garden Veggies pizzas. You can never skip the mojo potatoes... Their chicken wings are pretty good too, but I usually don't get them... Too much food. Lol Their service is a hit or miss depending on who's working, but unfortunately mostly a miss. There used to be a girl server who was very courteous and attentive who took care of us really well, but haven't seen her or anyone else like that before or after her time. I always come back due to the fact that this location is so convenient for me.

Recently, my son and I have been making pizzas on Friday nights as a bonding experience while my wife is out with friends. We make some, buy one, and compare. My son usually prefers his homemade, but Petrillo's is the exception! He loved the cheesy cheese pizza and the amazing cheese pull. I ordered half cheese and half their specialty pizza, which includes mozzarella, Romano cheese, house tomato sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers. Their small pizza is 12 inches and has 8 slices, which is much larger than other places. Petrillo's Specialty Pizza is stacked with generous toppings and has a doughy but crispy bottom - the best of both worlds. I enjoyed the Specialty pizza, especially the Italian sausage. While I'm not a mushroom fan, I ate them anyway. I'll likely hold off on mushrooms next time. They provide generous amounts of complimentary crushed red pepper packets, paper plates, and napkins. Parmesan cheese packets cost extra, about $0.50 each, if I remember correctly. The staff were friendly and are local residents, which is always great to see in a mom-and-pop business. You can eat in or order from the take-out counter on the right side. It's best to order ahead to avoid a 20-25 minute wait. My only minor complaint was the pizza was a bit sloppy when I took a picture, but I understand they're busy getting orders out. I will definitely be back to Petrillo's for pizza!

We were greeted by the host and waited about 2-3 minutes to be seated. There were around 4 or 5 tables that were already seated and/or eating. Setting: typical western restaurant with booths and tables. Quite dark inside. We were sat at a booth but the seats had a bunch of residual bread crumbs on them. We had to ask a waiter/busboy to clean off the seats for us. Food: This restaurant is known for their pizza so we ordered their signature pizza to share. We also ordered the fried zucchini appetizer and the spaghetti bolognese which came with a side (Minestrone soup) There was complimentary bread and butter for the table - it was soft and fluffy on the inside and had a nice crust. But it came out cold. Would have been better if it was warmed up. Fried zucchini: well breaded, came with ranch. Portion size was ok, not too big but not too little either. But quite expensive at $11 for an appetizer that did not WOW the table. Minestrone Soup: average, quite salty, given it is early in the evening, the soup should not be this salty whereas the end of the day usually means the soup has been reduced and concentrated by warming/simmering. Spaghetti Bolognese: plenty of meat in the sauce and pretty tasty as well; but the biggest flaw was that the spaghetti was way overcooked. Huge negative for an Italian restaurant - the base/pasta of your dishes should be perfect and this was far from Al dente. Petrillo Signature Pizza: loaded with toppings, they did not cheap out with the toppings and pretty tasty as well; however, another big flaw was that the dough was dry and dense - the dough did not rise. The yeast in the dough was either non-existent or was not given enough time to rise and create the fluffy dough and crust texture of a typical pizza. We basically got dense flatbread. As this was the signature pizza, it was quite disappointing. Service: Average, nothing great. The servers came by a couple times only after the food came out. Could have really stopped by a couple more time to check in. Rating: 2 stars Review summary is based on mainly food quality as the quality of the food, attention to detail, and execution all was very subpar. Given the kitchen was not super busy on a Saturday evening, the poor quality leaves much to desire.

The cozy and relaxing, dimly lit ambiance and its traditional neighborhood trattoria style and decor, featuring grape clustered garlands and twinkle lights, artfully placed around old-fashioned murals of Italian scenery, as if you're sitting in an open air courtyard of a countryside villa, instill feelings of nostalgia and comfort. That being said, while I'm so happy to finally come back to sit and dine in after like 5+ years post pandemic, and I don't know what all has happened w the owner and her family since then, it really does pain me to say that both the Gnocchi Pesto and the Pesto Pasta w chicken that my husband and I ordered yesterday were terribly sub par. It was the sauce...just bland, bland...bland as all get out. Seriously just no flavor I was so disappointed as their Pesto dishes are a favorite of mine. Definitely not how I remembered it. Maybe the cook forgot to season it and then also forgot to taste test the sauce, or something... I don't know. I know I couldn't finish it. Even after adding a little salt It was just...Uck no flavor. But I did pack it up and bring it home. And I fixed it up good... all it needed was some garlic powder and salt. Yes! Just how I remember it! I believe in second chances...and third chances I will return...even if for nothing but the ambience.

They use the same parking lot as Summerfield so it can get busy at some times. I called in to place an order for dinner and it was super easy and convenient. I ordered their Di Pilla Special pizza and a medium Parpadelle special pasta. The total for these dishes came out to be $62. Their portions are quite large since they're a family style restaurant. They also gave us complimentary bread which tasted amazing! I will say that I felt really heavy and full after this meal so this is definitely a cheat meal type of food. Food: Parpadelle Special Pasta (9/10): The noodles are huge and thick and the sauce gets absorbed perfectly. There's mushrooms, spinach, chicken with a white sauce base. They loaded this dish up with sauce which was heavenly. I even dipped my complimentary bread in the sauce because it just tasted that good. The chicken was so soft and wasn't overcooked at all. Between a family of three, there was a perfect amount and didn't have any leftovers. Di Pilla Special Pizza (9/10): Wow, the amount of toppings? Insane. We ordered the medium size which is a 14 inch. There was pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, hamburger, and bacon. I had to go back to their menu to see what toppings there were because wow was there a load full. I thought that the mushroom and bell pepper did overpower most of the slice. We had so many slices left over because of how full each slice makes you. I had it the day after and It was still tasty. I need to come back and try their other menu options. They have so many options to choose from which gets overwhelming because everything sounds amazing!

Mamma's is more tangy, which my partner prefers. Anyway......saucy tangent aside...). We also got a mushroom/spinach pizza which was delicious, and an appetizer of toasted cheese ravioli. They gave us some free garlic knots to start. Delish. You order at the counter and they give you a number. The tables were moderately clean. The (very nice) staff member who came to our table when we realized there were no meatballs asked us to dig under the noodles to see if the meatballs were...hiding? We earnestly asked him, "Do you see any meatballs?" because, I dunno, maybe they were really tiny meatballs? We collectively concluded that there were no meatballs, so some delicious meatballs was brought to our table posthaste. Solid service. They also have this pay-by-the-ounce system of beers, which I had never seen! I've seen it with wines. It's like pinkberry, but with beers! This seems like a great idea if you want to try a few different beers. Might do that next time.

The pizza was amazing, the crust is crispy, buffalo sauce isn't too spicy which we enjoyed. We did order to go and it was still hot when we got home. There's parking on the street right in front or in the back. Many stores close by to walk off the food as well. Stopped by again during the day, unexpectedly it was a Thursday as well. It was empty despite it being close to lunch hour. They have special pizza depending on the day. Today they had a pesto chicken pizza. We got the lunch special as well.

    My sister-in-law and her husband brought our family here for dinner, and everything was amazing!…read moreThey've been coming here for about two years, and now I understand why. The mashed potatoes were incredibly soft, creamy, and full of flavor. We ordered the Margherita pizza and a cheese pizza for the kids, and both were delicious. The pizzas were cooked in a wood-fired brick oven, and you could really taste the difference. The carbonara was one of my favorite dishes. It came with an egg yolk on top that you mix into the pasta, making it rich, creamy, and flavorful. The lobster linguine was another standout dish. We also ordered the pork wings, which were so tender they practically fell off the bone and were served over delicious mashed potatoes. The mushroom ravioli was unique, comforting, and packed with flavor. We also shared the ribeye steak, which was cooked perfectly and was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. What really made the experience special was the service. The owner regularly stopped by to check on our table and make sure everything was good, and everyone working there was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was excellent, and every dish tasted like it was made with care and love. This was one of the best Italian meals I've had in a long time, and we'll definitely be back!

    So I always pass by this spot but hadn't been here in years, at least not since it changed from…read moreBollini's. We parked in the center right next door, and just a heads up, it's cash only. We were seated right away, and the place already had quite a few people dining inside. The experience started a little off for me when ordering. I asked for the spaghetti carbonara with added chicken, and was told no because it already came with bacon. I understood that, but I still wanted to add chicken. I then asked if I could order the penne pasta dish with chicken but substitute a different pasta since I'm not a fan of penne, and again was told no. I've been to plenty of restaurants that don't allow certain substitutions, but simply adding chicken seemed like a reasonable request, especially since I didn't mind paying extra for it. It just felt a little strange being told no to every option. That said, the other staff members were attentive and provided good service throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is casual and had a steady crowd while we were there. I also noticed the entire staff working that night appeared to be male, just an observation. The food itself was really good. The baby greens salad, pasta dish, and chicken portobello were all very flavorful and enjoyable. Overall, I left with mixed feelings because the food was solid, but the ordering experience could have been more accommodating. Still, I would recommend giving this place a try because the food definitely delivers.

    Best Detroit style pizza in LA and some of the all around best pizza in general. The owner (?) is…read morethe sweetest ever! It's clear that this pizza is made with heaps and heaps of love. The crust is nice and light with the most perfectly crisped edges. The sauce is flavorful both on and off the pizza - I will admit that I drank any that was leftover with my order of cheesy bread.

    So, I was looking for something new and came across this pizza joint. Don't be fooled by their…read morename, this place has probably one of the most delicious Detroit style pizza. Their 4 squares was more than what I had expected. 2 slices filled me up! Location is on the second floor, almost hidden but don't worry, to locate it, just walk west, towards lake st once you're upstairs, it's wrapped around the little brunch spot. You can actually miss it if you're not too familiar. Pizza. Astounding. Definitely fresh ingredients. Tastes like Detroit style. Massive amount of cheese but not too much where it's overpowering. The pepperoni were the right amount as they double up the layers, hence the name. The workers were quick to attend to our needs. Service was definitely what you'd expect for a restaurant. However , dining location indoors only is quite small, maybe about 3-4 tables with shut 4 seats to each. Overall, I would come back and try their other pies, we love pizza and this is our new favorite place to visit when we're in the area!
