My Buddies Pizza

Delicious food with a great family-friendly atmosphere! We have been looking for a good pizza & pasta place where we could bring the whole family and this place is just what we needed. While it isn't a full service restaurant (you order and pay when you arrive), they do make it feel like a more personal dine in experience. The food is AMAZING! We enjoyed some mini & and medium-sized pizzas, as well as their delicious garlic fries and Chicken Alfredo. They also have a small arcade area for the kids and plent

I had pepperoni and double mushroom pizza, with extra cheese. It was very good pizza, and I even ate the crust. Some pizzas taste decent until you get to the crust, but this was very good, and I could taste the freshness. The customer service was very nice and friendly. If I had to frown on something, I would say a medium pizza that pushes $30 is a bit steep. I do realize I got extras, but that's just my two cents.

Tried My Buddies for the first time this evening. I ordered their XL-cheese pizza. Phone staff was friendly and easy to talk to. The restaurant has generous seating, and even some arcade games. I was pretty disappointed by the food however. Their XL-pizza was small and pretty expensive (their menu doesn't indicate sizes or slices and my expectations got the best of me). I paid $28+ tip for maybe a 14inch cheese pizza. I didn't realize how small it was until we got home. They cut it into twelve child size sl

Stopped here at buddies on our way to San Diego. Really really good pizza. Toppings were all fresh and the crust was very good. Great service and nice and clean atmosphere. Definitely worth a try

?????????? Hands down the best pizza around! ?? Every time we order, we're blown away by the fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and incredible flavors. Whether it's a classic pepperoni or a fully loaded specialty pizza, you can taste the quality and care in every bite. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and fast, making it a great spot for a casual meal or takeout. If you're a pizza lover, this place is a must-try! Highly recommend! ??????

Pizza is always on point, I think it's the best in town. Fresh baked hand tossed bread that compliments any toppings you choose. Mine & my wifes favorite go to's are: the pepperoni jalapeno calzone, spuddy chips, antipasta salad with Cesar dressing and hot wings well done. Also, they have a pretty decent variety of beer on tap. I recommend giving this place a try, you may have a new favorite pizza spot.

We weren't looking for pizza. But that's what my kiddos chose after one of their extracurricular activities. I had no idea what to order and asked for recommendations. The pizza and bread sticks were delicious. The service was great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I didnt even have time to take a picture. The pizza was going quick.

This was our first time dining in and was not impressed. The food is over priced and the dishes were not anything special. The price we paid we could have eaten at Olive Garden or BJs and gotten better food. Would not come back again. Nothing special about the food. They pastrami was not the correct order and the ravioli looked like it was something store bought. Don't recommend this place. Over priced and food is nothing special.

The best pizza place in the valley! Delicious salads and sandwiches plus ice cold beer, what more could you want? Laura and Lori always make you feel right at home with their outstanding service!

First time trying this place, and unfortunately, it was a pretty bad experience. I called to place an order, and they told me it would be delivered in 45 minutes. After an hour passed with no pizza, I called to check on it?only to be told that my order wasn't in their system and that I needed to reorder. While I was on the phone, confused about how this even happened, I got another call from the driver saying they were trying to enter the gate. So, how was my order "not in the system," but a driver was alre

We love this place for family celebrations. Accommodates our large family and they let you bring in your own birthday cake with your party. We pretty much take over. The food and service is good and the kids love playing in the arcades area with the prizes for their tickets earned.

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 th

I have been coming to My Buddies since 1986. I know I'm dating myself, but I just say this to show how good this place is. I keep coming back. Yes, there are new owners now, but the quality of the food is still A-#1. This place is somewhat of a hidden gem. Everyone wants to go to the newest places, but My Buddies is tried and true, my all time favorite pizza spot. My Husband finally came with me to rty them out, and he was blown away. The pictures below, are MEDIUMS of the Everything, Buddy Del Mar, and a p

First impressions are everything. Cons ?The lady, im assuming maybe she's the owner, is pretty rude. It felt like taking our order was a waste of her time. ?The place was pretty dirty. It looked like it never gets wiped down: tables, chairs, arcade games. ?the pizza is pretty pricey. Pros ?the rest of the staff is really nice and helpful. ?the pizza dough tastes like it was made from scratch ?the sausage is huge ?they pack on the cheese ?free refills ?the arcade is pretty reasonable. We only ended up spend

I really hate leaving a review like this, especially because I have been going to My Buddies since I was little, and now we take our kids there and we even had our kids party there in February and they were on top of everything! But tonight our kids wanted to go to Buddies instead of Pins In Pocket, we ordered our food, got kids game cards, we got served our sandwich and side salad.... 35 mins go by my kids were asking where there food is they were hungry, so I go ask the employees apparently they thought w

Nice to have real pizza, made fresh with an abundance of fresh toppings. No short cuts here? it's the real deal. They have some cannoli for desert now too. Excellent pizza, great crew, very nice, friendly, upbeat bunch. Good to support the local pizza place.

Ordered an antipasto salad and got missing toppings. Also ordered a small pepperoni & cheese pizza that was very doughy and made me sick. Lastly the mozzerella sticks which was the only thing that we were able to eat and enjoy sadly /:

The people are so nice and my food was excellent!!

Everything pizza looks great, friendly service, not a place I'd hang out though, it's a kids arcade with beer on tap, during my visit they didn't have any cider otherwise I would have had one while waiting.

We absolutely love this place. Best pizza. We enjoy coming here for lunch or dinner.

Damn delicious pizza. It tastes like what pizza is supposed to be. The sausage here is amazing on the pepperoni pizza ??

The food here always hits the spot and it is perfect for team sports but their is alot of stealing in the arcade

Found this place on yelp and it didn't disappoint I tried the buddies pizza and it was on point the crust was crispy and the toppings were perfect salad was fresh and the cheese bread was good ??

Great food, and the young crew is really great. But manager is extremely rude and unhappy. I dont know how the kids work with her. At first I excused her as "having a bad day". My 6th visit and always the same VERY rude, "go away" service. It's ok to smile... it's ok to say hi or thank you. Today I was the first one in at 11. A big line has formed in 10 minutes. Testimony to your great food!!! But, just heard another customer comment about her being rude. Oh, Buddys Best is a great pizza, but to

The only place I have ever seen load up their pizzas with tons of toppings! Yummy crispy crust and a large menu with lots of items to choose from. The arcade was fun for the kids. You earn tickets, and had nice prizes to choose from.

Awesome place. Great Environment. Best pizza in 50 square miles.

Figured out on this visit I've been coming here half my life! 28 years???? Can always count on the freshness & quality of ingredients, friendly staff & cleanliness of establishment. They have a lot of variety on the menu but my go to is the Pizza Bread. Their hand tossed crust is generously loaded with garlic butter & mozzarella, sprinkled with parsley & parmesan (I pass on the sprinkles). Choice of sauce for dipping. I prefer their pizza sauce ?? It's a true family place, owner Bob Richardson is often p

Seems they are more worried about making money than quality and cleanliness. Restaurant is not clean at all?everything has some kind of sticky stuff on it. They are also very pricey. Staff can use some customer service skills as well. I won't be going back to this place because even though we had hope the food would change our minds well it did until we got home and every single one of us has had food poisoning for the past 2 days going onto the 3rd. If you really want to stay open?.I suggest you clean this

Not trying to put u guys on blast. But had too only way u can answer back . Hanging up on me. Not satisfied has to much grease.... at least my money back. This is my 1st eating at My buddies pizza. 8/11/2020

I had an absolute blast today for a family birthday party. Jimmy was one of our servers and he was super polite and helpful with all the kiddos. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone with kids. The pizza was delicious as well as the chicken wings. Hidden gem of lake Elsinore.

Great food, service was good, could be a little better, maybe it was new folk there. Atmosphere: It's a local pizza parlor with a good size arcade and meeting event space. This is the quintessential local pizza spot you go to after a little league game. Will keep coming back, and they have a pretty good tap selection too.

Should have had the pizza. Booth seating very uncomfortable with Springs sticking up. Beer selection very good. The spaghetti was overcooked and the sauce was bland. The meatballs tasted freezer burned.

Place is dirty,all the games are greasy with food on them ,gets smokey in the place ,staff for the most part is lazy.more then enough employees standing around to at least clean the tables off,just a dirty place.

Horrible customer service! I get four quaters exchanged for tokens to play the claw game for my daughter and it says tokens where you insert the coins. Come to find out the machine takes quarters. I ask an employee for help and she looks confused, says that no one has the key and was like "oh well!" with a shoulder shrug.I didn't want to be that customer so I let it go. My sister couldn't and goes to ask the female cashier about the issues and tells one of the guys making pizza in the back and he gets an at

Been coming to my buddies for over 30 years. Had my birthday parties here as a kid. Came in on Saturday evening to book a birthday party for my son on a Monday night. Sarah and Nicole were super helpful! It's not often you get good customer service these days, but these girls and staff were great! Pizza is bomb and arcade area is super fun for the kids. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

It's a great place to take your kid for a birthday party for a family gathering or just to watch a game

Not bad! Placed is extremely dated but the pizza is good. Crispy crust. Nothing bad to say.

Fairly new to the area but we have been coming here for about a year and have loved the pizza until now. We went tonight and I think there are new owners now. The quality has gone down and the most noticeable is whatever cheese they are using. Not even sure it's real cheese. Sadly we will now be looking for a new pizza place to frequent. Interesting. Before we even left the restaurant, I went up to the counter and asked the girl and she told me that there are new owners and they were unable to get the

Great food, great service! This place is definitely a pizza spot I'll be coming back to with my family as there are arcades with good food. Feels like a spot I grew up as a kid.

I can't believe this pizza.. this was the best pizza around for a while. Believe it or not. This pizza was $47 with pepperoni extra cheese and extra sausage.

After some of the reviews here I was pretty scared to come here, but this place is an Elsinore mainstay. I've been to a few birthdays here for children and never focused much beyond that . But the pizza was delicious. I did order a 14$ dollar side of fries that never made it to our table along with some chicken strips. After approaching the staff they said "here they are" BUT, I was needing to leave. In my mind I was like.. here we go but instead the young lady gave me a refund?? Garlic fries sitting in

place looks fantastic. love the beer selection. of course my girls love the arcade. I personally didn't like the food ans will not be back other then for beer.

First time checking this place out was an amazing experience. Friendly staff welcomed my friend and I and because we had a service dog suggested we pick a table away from the children as not to bother the dog. Pizza was delicious ?? with mounds of toppings. Nothing skimpy here!! Can't believe I've never been here before. Most definitely recommend for a quiet spot or a place to being the family and have a big party. They have a HUGE arcade and banquet area. Price was perfect; not too expensive but not cheap.

Pizza is delicious, salads are fresh, and the service is great, I have uploaded a picture of my mini pizza ??

They have the best pepperoni and sausage pizza ????

Kids and Grandkids Loves this place. 1 of 2 great places for pizza in Lake Elsinore. Plenty of parking and room also. THERE'S ROOM INSIDE. 1 large area is set aside for parties but if needed can be used for more people to enjoy, just ask. Cost is a bit up but that's it.

Pizza was good as always. The service is speedy. The owner has sold it but it's still a good place to eat and also to let kids play (arcade games). Went there today for dinner. The place is good to enjoy family time and the pizza is excellent.

Has been our favorite for over 30 years. If you love meat try the Butchers Block pizza it is loaded with meat. A bit of advice get it with extra cheese on top to hold all the toppings in place. The wings are great too.

We just moved our 5th wheel to a site on the lake and we're looking for a quick pizza place. Lake Elsinore was having some festival in town or something like a Christmas lighting maybe?, which drove us to this place. The pizza palor had a party room packed full and overflowing. Took almost 2 hrs to get our pizza. While we watched pizza after pizza after wings and salads go to that party room. My beer was warm by the time I got my dinner. As the place was rather expensive, i didnt want more than one. I D

For me one of the best Pizzas around here. I brought one to work now it's our go-to. Another reason I give It 5 stars is it's a place to have fun for large groups. The spaghetti is also a favorite of mine ??????

My Buddies has always been one of the best in the community and is always supporting the local sports. Over 20+ years they have give back to all the local schools and sporting organizations. They offer a huge range of Pizza selection and taste like it came out of the brick ovens of Italy. They have all sorts of different wing sections and many different appetizers to satisfy anyone. The arcade room in the back is one of the largest in any Pizza restaurant in Lake Elsinore perfect for any large size kids par

They make a DELICOUS Chicken Parmesan pizza to die for!!! Five.. heck... 100 stars!!!! Love this place, been coming here since 2001!!

Jimmy was awesome he made the best bean burritos and chicken wings ever! I hosted a senior citizen field trip and he made sure to entertain all the citizens! I nominate him ?My buddies pizza employee of the month? !!

Pizza is great, been coming here for several years. But with new owners, customer service has suffered. Salad should be served BEFORE the pizza and without the customer having to remind them multiple times that they are waiting on the salad...with literally no customer in front of you waiting. And when pizza comes out you have to ask for plates and wait again, common sense tells you the customer needs a dang plate. You certainly can't eat off the tables that weren't wiped down. I wiped down my own table w

This place is good. They have upgraded their salads which is awesome. The back room is always nice to reserve for large gatherings. They are remodeling so it should look nice! The beer is cold...had the Hanger 24, it was delicious and the antipasto salad. Husband had his go to pepperoni pizza last visit.

Great place for all your banquet needs and the food is worth every penny I have been coming here for 10-15 years and will never change. Pizza freshly made and cooked perfectly the hot wings have the best flavor with every bite the salads and antipasta are to die for and the customer service gets me every time you can't ask for greater service then what they have there every one is always smiling and it makes you feel welcome. Great Job Guys

The search for the perfect pizza is over. This place is hands down delicious. We have ordered 4 times for delivery. I get the mini pineapple, well done and my husband gets the large veggie. All of the topping are fresh. We love My Buddies Pizza

Such a great place. Just went there today with my wife and daughter. You get $5 free tokens when you buy $20 worth. The games are actually very generous and the prizes are cool for the little ones. The pizza was perfect! I cant wait to try more of the other food. Also, the staff were all very nice. So sweet to my daughter. The place is also very clean. Would recommend!

The pizzas were amazing, but the price is way too high!! I have no problem paying for good quality ingredients, but IMHO, they are charging way too much. Or, they should offer specials once in a while. We used to eat there frequently many years ago when their prices were reasonable.

Best pizza ever I try to stop here every time I'm out in Wildomar. Highly recommend this place we always get the everything combo pizza it's the best.

This is the best pizza around! They have great quality ingredients. The owner Bob is amazing and really goes above and beyond! He is very involved in his business and it shows! This place has been in business longer than any other pizza place I know of around here and for good reason! I have had friends move out of state and always grab a pizza when they come into town!

This place use to be good. Today we got some wings full of grease and the quality of pizza has gone down plus the people are not very nice. They are so expensive before we were willing to pay but don't think ill go back. Maybe is just because it was a Sunday and different cook not sure. Or they hate making wings before they will say there was a shortage of wings which was funny we can get wings somewhere else but they had a shortage lol.

Best pizza in the area. I love the everything pizza. I usually order extra large. The last 3 or so times I've ordered extra large doesn't look as large as they used to be. Did something change. If it wasn't for that I'd give 5 stars

This is a cool little family-owned pizza shop.

First impressions: It's not clean, we came in @11 when they opened and all the tables around us are dirty, black stuff in sodas from the machine, hour wait while others came and went. One of the workers was sweet, the other was definitely not. Staff wear no gloves or any covering over their beards. Watched them pick toppings after pizza was cooked, with bare hands. Delivery has priority, not customers in-store, so be prepared.They need additional training. Arcade is cute for the kids.

My girlfriend's dad told me about this place. He ordered 2 pizzas from this place yesterday and let me just say I never knew what really good pizza was until I had this pizza. Thank god I live 20 minutes away. I'm definitely buying another pizza next week this time I'll try the wings too. Thanks to my girlfriend and her dad for hooking me with pizza from this place. I don't think I'll eat Pizza from anywhere else that isn't My Buddy's. To the owner of this place keep up the good work.

Too expensive for what it is. Antipasto salad was very disappointing the only meat I had was on 2 toothpicks for a small and lettuce was bad I couldn't even eat it. Pizza was ok. Buffalo wings were not good they were too burnt. And it was way too dry. I would not recommend this place to anybody

My Buddies Pizza?? does a great job every order we have had. The pizzas are always tasting fresh. Thank you staff!

I needed a extra large size antipasta salad they did not let me down. They sell a salad for 8 assembled with such care. It's very tasty too, staff is very friendly and genuinely kind. Oh every morsel disappeared my guests were satisfied.

Had a fantastic time with my family. The pizza was great, the beer selection was admirable, and my son got to play his first racing game. Most of their arcade is just ticket gambling, otherwise I'd give 5 stars.

We regularly order take out and always order the same delicious toppings. But we called ahead this past Sunday afternoon and said we had about 40-50 people coming. No problem, they said. Well service was awful. Seemed like only one female worker knew what she was doing. All questions went to her. The orders took forever and the pizza was definitely NOT up to par. If this had been my first time in the restaurant, I probably would never go back.

Do not order from here. The staff is incompetent. Delivery drivers have no sense of direction and staff has no sense of customer service or fixing a problem that they created. It's not the customers fault the delivery driver has no idea how to navigate the neighborhood or follow simple instructions to turn down a street and come down a driveway. I had to meet the driver at the sheriffs station to pick up my $50 order. At the sheriffs station!! Has anyone ever heard of this? What planet is this? An hour and

Best pizza in the area if you ask me. A little more expensive, but you can really taste the difference. Not an amazing atmosphere to dine in, but great if you are looking for a place to have a beer, watch a sporting event, and still have your kids entertained playing in the arcade.

Excellent service and great for younger kids! Food was good and the entertainment.

Overall very good pizza. Taste is excellent and cheese is oustanding. Somewhat inconsistent so 4 stars instead of 5. Have had 1/3 outside edge of pizza without anything on it, just crust. Also not consistent with amount and cook level of Spuddy Chips which are a house specialty. Sometimes container will hardly close, other times looks like we got a half order.

I take out Pizza & Caesar salad usually monthly. Always fresh food . The restaurant is always clean. They have a large side place for children. Games. Great for families.

If you are ever in lake Elsinore and want to treat yourself to some delicious pizza, come to My buddies. It's been a staple here for decades. There is also a game and prize area for kids as well as beer on tap.

We had are son's high school graduation party there, it was great!!! Helpful and friendly staff, delicious food, party room holds a lot of people. We are very happy we chose My Buddies Pizza!!! Our son was very happy with his party there! Thank you to all the staff at My Buddies!!!

We paid $40 for medium pizza with cheese sticks and 3 drinks. Extremely overpriced for the quality of our pizza. We had an extremely long wait for our pizza and it came out crunchy and the sides of it were black. None of the toppings even stayed on the pizza. We went back to the play area and there was absolutely no suppervison in the area. A little boy was climbing up the skeet ball game and placing the balls in the hole. He took his massive amount of tickets and got whatever his heart desired. I would no

Antipasto salad is the best. The Meatball Sandwich was great. The homemade chips were excellent! Pizzas are tasty too! My grandson had lots of fun when we took him.

Great local pizza place. We did take out but wished we had come in to dine. Very large dining area, banquet room, and small arcade with prizes. Pizza was very good with generous toppings. Will definitely be back when we visit lake Elsinore again!

Super impressed with this pizza! I am so picky with pizza, but just moved into the area and wanted to try it out. It's one of the best pizzas I have had, and the cheesy garlic pizza bread is delicious! Quick delivery and friendly staff. I will absolutely be a return customer!

Pizza is very good. Price is a bit high, but definitely paying for quality. The many games make it enjoyable for the kids. Easy to reserve tables for group events.

Horrible experience last night. My pizza order was given via the telephone at 6:02 PM and by 7:16 PM my pizza still had not been delivered, nor had anyone called me from Buddy?s to say they were sorry or something. Instead I had to call 4 times and each time Courtney blew me off by saying they had too many customers to worry about my pizza order. It was the principle of the matter to me, but since they did not care about my order nor repeat business, I had to drive in by 7:50 PM to get a refund on my credit

Here's the deal. ?????????????? I'm not from here but I hit this place up for a pizza after running a tough Mudder. ?? But seriously.... I'd drive here 6 hours just for the ??and spicy BBQ wings. Staff was busting their chops to get orders out and the owner was tossing pizza. You cannot get better than that from a mom and pop pizza restaurant. Shame on anyone who gives this place less than 5 stars.

The place was friendly and clean. There was alot to choose from. The party I was with liked the food. They got Aaron a pizza with about three toppings. I got a small pizza with white sauce spinach and olives and pepperoni to me had no flavor but I did like the parmesan cheese to put on top that added a lot of flavor to it.

I've gone here as a kid, but this is my first time back since. Now I have 3 small kiddos of my own and they got to experience what My Buddies is like. The pizza was delicious, lots of cheese and good meats! We enjoyed the free refills on the sodas. We bought $10 worth of tokens and they just finished using them by the time the food came out. Lots of the games were down, out of order or had error messages, wouldn't give tickets. Claw games were also out. So, since they already had a small game area - there w

The Cheese on the Pizzas can be a better quality, but their wings are soo crispy and delicious! The Spicy BBQ Wings were so juicy and saucy! Also got the Cobb Salad and it was really yummy. Will definitely be going back
