Awesome selection of Brews! Amazing prices. The pizza is pretty good :) Love the crust! This is a neat place with an old school parlor vibe.

Not sure what is up with all of the negative reviews! This is a classic old fashioned Pizzeria with a dive bar atmosphere. The beer selection is excellent. $ 2 pints available when we went on a Tuesday night. We ordered the largest size supreme pizza and it was incredible! Fresh vegetables on top with at least three different types of meat. Despite heaping piles of fresh vegetables, the crust was crispy on the bottom throughout every bite. Home to Kaweah Brewing Company; have bottles available for purchase to go. I almost didn’t write a review and let the secret out because this is such a gem!

Went there today and had the lunch buffet, and was terrible! Dirty place and disgusting! Plus the guy cooking back there looks like on of those homeless guys out on the streets. Save your money people and go somewhere else. Trust me.

We really enjoyed the pizza! Yummy potatoes and chicken as well. Their family special is cheap and a generous amount of food. I liked the homemade ranch and loved the pizza. This is our new favorite place!

This is the worst pizza place in town. If I could I would give it zero stars. The place is filthy and hasn’t been cleaned or updated since its inception. We tried the buffet — the pizza was cold and burned. All the «hot» food seemed as though it has been sitting under the heat lamps since yesterday. The salad buffet was old and wilted. Everything was gross. We left after 5 minutes. We wasted $ 30, but it was worth not getting the potential food poisoning. I highly recommend to never step foot in this place!!!

Friendly staff at this place and the pizza bread and sauce have a unique flavor that is unlike other pizza I have had in the central valley. I have only ate here once for take out, but I’ll definitely be back again :) worth a try!

Best beer selection in Visalia. Howie is the best bar tender you’ll ever meet. They make you feel like you are family. Food is great. I come here every chance I can get.

Best pizza that I’ve had in Visalia. And they have an assortment of beers. The chicken and Mojo potatoes are good as well

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. This place must have been a Shakey’s establishment back in the day. While the pizza was ok, the chicken and mojos definitely taste like those of Shakey’s. One big negative for me, the place totally needs a MAJOR facelift! Dark and dingy. One positive, the prices are good. Can easily feed a family of 4 for under $ 40 for dinner. Hoping they decide to fix this place up soon!

Excellent! TONS of toppings and a great sweet sauce. My new favorite pizza place. It’s in an old Shakey’s and the décor is pretty much the same and not updated which adds some character. Lots of beer on tap. Great prices. Will be back!
Next visit (09÷11÷15): Review dropped from 5 stars to 3. Took some co-​workers here for the lunch buffet. Terrible pizza. Reminded me of something you’d get at a theme park, where they don’t really MAKE pizza. The salad bar looked unappetizing and the pizza all had one topping. The mojos were soggy. I did have a piece of bbq chicken and it was tasty. Don’t think I’ll be back for the buffet again.

I just bought the 5 for 10 dollars deal and checked in for the free appetizers. But when I called to place my order, the guy in the phone said the owner would no longer accept the coupon or check in offer.
False advertising. Isn’t that against the law?
Great customer service Howie!

If you want them to give your card to someone else… Well this is the place.
Came out for dinner with family (we are from out of town) and we were having a great time till I went to close my tab out at the bar and the bartender gave my card to someone else. And mind you we have two different looking cards and they’re obviously two different banks. and one I am female and the person who they gave my card to is a male. Horrible horrible service. And poor double checking on her part. So now I’m out of town with no money. And I don’t know where there’s a usbank here on Visalia.

Went here for the lunch buffet. This place doesn’t clean their tables, saw several tables uncleaned upon walking in. They have a rude, racist guy behind the counter who just looks at you and laughs disrespectfully. All of their food is pretty bad; old lettuce in the salad bar, greasy & soggy fried foods, and the pizza was extremely bland.
I’m a long time resident of Visalia and this is only the third time I’ve been here and still hasn’t changed for the better. It used to be way better when it was Shakeys.

I have been here several times… but only when I have had a Groupon deal.
The pizza is good, well at least the pepperoni is. They also have potatoes that they serve and taste good dipped in some ranch or ketchup. The fried chicken here is also good, but nothing that stands out.
The place is def a pizza parlor type of place. They have table seating as well as booth seating. The place is really dark inside. They also have a separate bar that serves all kinds of alcohol, and on occasion there are some loud people from that section.
They have a few arcade games, which is cool if you bring kids.
Overall the food is good, but not something that is a MUST for me
