    Friendly service, delicious pizza, and nice atmosphere. Our server was so helpful when we were deciding what to order. Nice little spot in the heart of La Quinta!

    First off, I love stuft pizza! I've been coming here for years, maybe over 10+ years and the employees are all amazing and some even remember me and it's the best feeling. They always have smiles on their faces and greet you as soon as you walk in. This place is so busy but busy in a good way! They have a great happy hour, great food and great vibes. I love the new patio, it's so nice to enjoy the weather with friends. If you're looking for great food and great people, stuft pizza is the place.

    Came here for lunch and it was buzzing! We were able to go right to the bar to get a seat. The bar area is what you'd expect...lots of energy with t.v.'s on the wall behind the bar. Service was good- Pizza was the star of the show. We ordered the personal pizza on the lunch menu and it was plenty big. Thin crust with fresh toppings. 2 are included on the lunch special. My friend was disappointed in the roast beef sandwich since it was cold. My ahi tuna salad was nicely presented...heads up-it comes with lots of bean sprouts...the chopped cobb salad was super tasty and fresh...we all were raving about this gem.

    Pregnancy craving & it was soooooo good!!! The service was just as great. I came in with Darth Vader, my pup, & he got love from every staff member that walked by. The pizza was fresh & delicious & had the perfect ratio of all toppings. Try pickle pizza folks, you won't be disappointed & remember... we listen & we don't judge :)

    Been coming here, while on vacation, for over 10 years! Stuft used to be one of our favorite spots, but over the years it has become ordinary and lack-luster, in terms of prices and food quality. Happy Hour is 3-6 everyday, and in every seat, which is nice. However, the drink prices especially, aren't a happy hour price...$7 for a well drink doesn't make me happy. Service is generally pretty good, but we have found many more happy hour gems in La Quinta, and the surrounding areas, to keep coming back here. It's been fun but time to move on.

    Went during happy hour. We ordered some wine and a medium heavyweight pizza, and I can't wait to try other combos. I was highly impressed by the buffalo wings, which were crispy and tangy!

    Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill is an absolute gem! The restaurant is super nice and exceptionally clean, with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a very friendly and welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. The menu has an impressive variety with tons of options -- pizza, wings, tacos (yes, tacos... and they're delicious), appetizers (Artichokes are to die for) and fresh salads. There's truly something for everyone. The bar is fantastic as well, offering great cocktails and a solid selection of craft beers. One thing that really stood out was how spotless the restrooms were -- always a great sign of a well-run restaurant. While the pizza is more of a classic American-style pizza rather than a thin, crispy Italian crust, it's still very good, and I would absolutely return without hesitation. If you're in the area, make sure Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill is your next stop -- you won't be disappointed!

    Big, open place with lots of room for group seating. Join the waitlist before arriving! Was seamless for our party of nine. Had multiple TVs to watch the games. Our waitress was attentive and kind - even offering suggestions to our order when asked her opinion. Only reason for three stars is the food was just mediocre. We had a few pizzas, chicken wings, Thai noodles and tacos. While all edible, none of it had a "wow" factor and I wouldn't recommend this place for their food. But great spot if you have people who just want an easy meal with a good bar selection.

    The pizza is really great! You have to try Everything But The Kitchen Sink, lol, creative with the name. The appetizers are very good as well. There's also plenty of other items on the menu to choose from. The service was good, our waiter answered our questions and was relatable. I love the vibe, it gave elevated pizza spot. The place was pretty packed. Plenty of inside, bar and patio seating. Patio seating also has mist spray for the heat. There's TVs with the sports channel on, very family friendly and clean. This place is a must.

    Small Monroe. We added spinach and fresh mozzarella.

    We got ours to go back to our room the first night and the service was quick. Pizza was some of the best we ever had on the West Coast. We ended up getting pizzas to also take home to bake when we left for the weekend. The pictures below are what we took home and baked.

    Do you prepare the gluten free pizza in a separate area with separate equipment?

    Hi Olivia. Our gluten free pizza is cooked in the same oven as our regular gluten pizzas. We can take extra precautions for allergies by using different cutting boards, different knives and cleaning a prep area but we cannot guarantee a 100%… 

    Why can't y'all tell us wait times over the phone?

    Our wait time fluctuates so quickly that we hate to tell someone no wait and 20 minutes later it could be a 45 minute wait. Very soon we will be adding the ability for customers to add themselves to our wait from anywhere and you will see how many… 

    Are you reopened for inside dining?

    Yes we are. Started today!

    We are celebrating a birthday on Sunday. Can we bring a cake to sing happy birthday?

    SHORT ANSWER: Just an update, but Casa Mendoza seems to be just getting better. Some new staff but…read morefood quality and people here are very welcoming. LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.

    *Mi Casa es Su Casa*…read more My buddy had a small casual bday get-together with his family and invited me to join the celebration. I saw all the favorable reviews on Yelp and was looking forward to my first visit at Casa Mendoza. Very chill & lively family owned Mexican joint in Old Town LQ. The place was kinda busy @6:30pm on Hump Night ~~ always a great sign when I see this. Felt more like a Sunday Evening. It took an hour to receive our meals. Ordered @6:45 arrived @7:45pm. Good thing the Chimichanga & Gauc apps arrived pretty quickly. The Gauc was Excellente. All their food was very good. But all our meals arrived cold/lukewarm. Took forever to receive our food and we knew for a fact it's because all our plates sat a while until we were served. The actual plates weren't even warm and the sizzling fajitas had sizzled out and lost its dazzle. Because it was still 95 degrees when dinner was finally served, our lukewarm meals were doable on a hot night. Everyone did enjoy their meals tho. I was very pleased with my Mahi Mahi in Garlic Butter Sauce. The refried beans were outstanding. The rice very good...and I made tacos with the 3 corn tortillas. But would have enjoyed it even more had all the food been a little warmer. I stuck with H2O but all margarita drinkers said their drinks were good and hit the spot on a warm night. The service in general was also inconsistent for our small party of 8. The Birthday Boy was a little frustrated and got up a few times from his throne seeking assistance -- such as missing tortillas for meals, water refills, extra napkins. We even had to wait longer than anticipated for them to acknowledge the bday boy with a celebratory bday song & sombrero...and the fried ice cream, which didn't include a candle. Tho we all enjoyed ourselves and time together...a 2 hour dinner at a Mexican joint on a Wednesday night wasn't what we anticipated. Especially with one restless 7 year old ;-) But everyone working at Casa Mendoza is very friendly with great attitudes. Hostess team, waiters, servers & runners too. So that made up for the spotty service, just a little bit. Since I'm closer to the other Casa Mendoza in Palm Desert, I'd go there in the future with my wife, and order the exact same thing. But hope for much better service and warmer food.
