The greatest thing since sliced bread might be the stuff on top of it. Crispy-crusted Neapolitan, deep-dish decadence, wood-fired wonders—we could go on. There’s a pizza for every craving, every occasion, and every appetite. A classic slice. A loaded pie. A pizza bigger than your plate. Here are the places to go to when all you want is pizza.
Lucian’s Pizza Yucaipa
$ | (909) 790-9001 | WEBSITE
Pepperoni pizza is perhaps our favourite subcategory of pizza, and Lucian’s Pizza Yucaipa makes one of the best pepperoni pizzas in Yucaipa. There are about 10 different varieties, with standout additions ranging from crunchy cashews, extra savory sauce, to fresh mushrooms, or spicy jalapeños. They’re the size of a dinner plate and excellent value too.
Monstros Sub Shop
$ | (909) 570-9755 | WEBSITE
Once you eat from Monstros, a charming spot in Yucaipa, you’ll realise that the chain-that-shall-not-be-named is not the best way to get your sub fix. We like the Herman Munster—loaded with Boar’s Head meats and fresh toppings—and the Frankenstein, a huge monster-themed special. After you finish, there’s the feeling that you and the menu have lots of unfinished business.
Danny’s Pizza
$$ | (909) 790-0025 | WEBSITE
Danny’s Pizza is very good at making, or crafting, things with dough, whether the pastrami sandwich, chicken dishes, or the incredible pizza (our go-to). Everything at the local spot, in its cute little old gas station location, is offered with high-quality ingredients like house-cut pastrami and flavorful dough, as well as plenty of cheese and toppings. The quick service and clean environment make it a popular choice, with families finding it welcoming and some games available for kids.
Overall, Danny’s stands out for its good food and friendly staff, making it a go-to spot for many.
Domino’s Pizza
$ | (909) 790-2903 | WEBSITE
In the pantheon of great pizzas, a loaded Alfredo sauce pie stands high on the podium. And, if you’re after a slice, then pay Domino’s Pizza a visit. The restaurant sits on a busy Yucaipa street. The crust is thin but crisp, the toppings generous and savory, and a handful of garlic carefully added to the edge the perfect foil for this knockout of a pizza.
Woodhaus
$ | (909) 570-9572 | WEBSITE
Going to a pizza place and not ordering pizza is very wrong, unless you’re going to Woodhaus and getting the cheese bread, in which case it’s very right. The Yucaipa location offers that must-try cheese bread—a side that’s made with the same great dough—which is basically the smartest thing we’ve ever tasted. The take on a margarita pizza is a go-to. As is their friendly family-run atmosphere in the restaurant.
Wilshires Apple Shed
$ | (909) 790-3322 | WEBSITE
This Yucaipa cafe is tucked away and the wood-fired pizza has been crafted by someone who must’ve adored apple orchards as a child. But it’s worth the trip. Wilshires Apple Shed’s limited menu—think cheese or plain Jane pizzas—is served with unique hard cider and tasty treats like quiche and fresh-baked apple loaf. Our pick of the bunch is the customized vegetarian pizza, with amazing gluten-free options, cozy atmosphere, and the friendly staff that makes it a kid-friendly spot.
A must-visit during the Apple Blossom festival or apple picking season, this cafe is a delightful destination for families and pizza lovers alike.
Strongman Pizza
$ | (909) 372-3722 | WEBSITE
This Yucaipa pizza joint has crafted something remarkable between a perfectly crispy crust—a fungi pizza. The baked mushroom topping is earthy and savory, with garlic notes throughout. The crispy crust combined with a spicy red sauce, a generous layer of cheese, and fresh ingredients that shine through, comes together to make a truly satisfying, quality pie. We also recommend Strongman’s bacon cheese jalapeno bread. They’re available for delivery, too.
Pizza Hut
$ | (909) 797-2111 | WEBSITE
Every pizza from Pizza Hut delivers a generous portion of flavorful, well-baked toppings on a satisfying crust. The hand-tossed and pan pizzas from this consistently busy Yucaipa location are a comfort food lover’s dream, but there’s quality to these creations. Our favorite preparation is the well-done option—the crispier crust, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked toppings create a balanced bite that hits the spot.
Papa Johns Pizza
$ | (909) 790-2424 | WEBSITE
There are a handful of standout options at Papa John’s, and each one promises fresh, flavorful pizza with a perfectly baked crust. There’s often a steady stream of customers at this pizza spot in Yucaipa: someone ordering the BBQ chicken pizza, another craving the calzone knots. The Vegetarian Pizza is our top pick. It’s topped with a generous blend of vegetables, baked to a golden crisp, and seasoned just right for a satisfying bite.
Pizza Chalet & Johnnie’s Broasted Chicken
$ | (909) 797-5176 | WEBSITE
There must be magic behind why all-you-can-eat buffets are often so comforting. But it relies on them being as fresh and as flavourful as the offerings from Pizza Chalet & Johnnie’s Broasted Chicken. This Yucaipa mainstay specialises in pressure-cooked chicken that’s crispy outside and juicy inside, alongside whacks of rotating pizzas and mini Italian sandwiches.
A decently-stocked salad bar, regularly changing toppings, local microbrews on tap—you name it, Pizza Chalet & Johnnie’s Broasted Chicken will put it on the buffet. The lively, family-friendly atmosphere with video games makes every visit feel like a trip back to the pizza parlors of the 80s and 90s, and the friendly staff keeps things running smoothly even when it’s busy.
While the price runs a bit higher than other spots, the value is undeniable—especially when you’re digging into that amazing cole slaw alongside the broasted chicken. It’s a clean, welcoming space where the food is consistently delicious and the vibe is pure fun.
