    Just opened 1/24/25

    New restaurant just opened inside the California RV Resort. We walked in to take a peek for a friend that lives at Stone Ridge Estates in WS with 300 units and no food within 13 miles. Saw a couple eating a dish and they stated it was delicious. They serve breakfast at 6 am. Lunch-dinner appears to be Italian fusion with other variations. My friend and other senior residents will be happy to have a good restaurant nearby finally! I will update when I bring her out to eat!

    Mac and cheese, buffalo wings, steak bites and mashed potatoes

    The ambiance here is amazing I loved the view over dinner. It's located in an RV resort but the restaurant is open to the public. Service was friendly, food was decent. I got the Mac and Cheese and buffalo wings which didn't taste fresh unfortunately so I didn't finish them. I also got the steak bites and mashed potatoes with the salsa verde sauce which was better than the other two so I was able to finish that and I actually enjoyed it. I liked the beet drink, it was an interesting mix but it tasted good.

    Car show next to Chad's Lakeside Kitchen restaurant inside the Rancho CA RV Resort. Great place for car clubs to gather too...great food!

    3.5 = no vegan cheese options, but just remove the cheese…read more Gluten free crust was very good. Can't beat the location. (See: "waiting walk" below) From out of town to get a pizza option for lunch. This place hits the mark! PARKING. There is ample parking in the lot outside the store. It's Idyllwild. If you're a visitor, chances are, you're walking there. Walk if you can! Super easy to get to plus bonus "waiting walk" SEATING. There are plenty of indoor tables for small and large parties. If you're here in good weather, there is no outdoor seating, but find a park table somewhere. SERVICE Wonderful service this morning. We mentioned that we'd walk while waiting for the pizza & calzone, and they kept the pizza hot on the oven if we were back a little later. FOOD I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any vegan cheese options. It's a salty add-on that might not be exactly dairy style, but it does give me the impression of pizza-experience. Vegan modification = I got the VEGGIE CALZONE instead without cheese. Calzone is tricky, because it always steams a little inside. This one is good. I think I'd get the veggie panini next time. The outside was soft like a bread. Not in a bad way. CALZONE TOMATO SAUCE was excellent. Gluten Free = My wife got a gluten free Greek pizza. She loved it and remarked that the gluten free dough and cook was really good. Neither gummy nor "dry as a cracker" (If you're GF, you know what that means) Veggies Calzone also comes with a simple green salad side. Oil & vinegar dressing. Fresh and simple. VISITING FROM OUT OF TOWN IN NICE WEATHER? "WAITING WALK" or "WALK IT OFF" along Strawberry Creek If you're from out of town, you may have seen the short section of Strawberry Creek from town to Idyllwild Park. If not head down to the creek and TURN RIGHT (14 minute out/back) along down the path. If you have walked it before, TURN LEFT and walk up the creek path. A great way to wait before your pizza or to stretch out after. Drove up to Devils Slide for a pizza picnic (bring your park placard)

    Exceptional pizza…read more Every sauce (Alfredo and marinara) were locked in. Toppings were generous. Recommend the hand-tossed crust, it was the perfect thickness and never hardened! The interior was right out of the early 90s, but in a charming way. The stacked pizza oven was legit, it whipped out perfect pizzas with limited wait time!

That's all very good, especially for the two slice and drink special price, which I indulged in twice. But, don't overlook those sandwiches on the menu, especially the Meatball sub! Housemade ballz are plump and fresh, and with their excellent sauce and melted cheese hits the sublime. Knife and fork it, that's the method. Anyhow, next time I work in the Temecula area, this is up there for favorite meals along with PapaFeta and the Dutch Sandwich Co.

    I was so excited to find amazing vegan options at Uncle Gino's, and they did NOT disappoint!…read more The vegan garlic knots were soft, fluffy, and packed with garlicky goodness. Perfectly seasoned and seriously addictive -- I could've ordered another batch! The vegan pizza was outstanding. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the vegan cheese melted beautifully. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy. And the vegan meatball sandwich was next level. The meatballs had great texture and seasoning, and the sauce tasted rich and homemade. Total comfort food -- but completely plant-based! Whether you're vegan or just trying something different, Uncle Gino's proves you don't have to sacrifice taste. Definitely coming back for more!

    A solid pizza joint when visiting Wrightwood, CA…read more We spent a relaxing weekend getaway recently in Wrightwood. It was after the snow season with light crowds and locals. On our way up, we called in an order for pickup, and it was ready when we arrived in town. We ordered a few large pizzas and some hot wings. The Raccoon Special, Cheese, and Gourmet Pesto Pizza were all hot and delicious. They didn't skimp on the toppings. I was surprised by how stacked the Raccoon Pizza was and the amount of olives in the Gourmet Pesto Pizza. The hot wings were a good size, and the sauce was tangy and tasty. It also came with a couple of ranch dressing dip. The menu also offers pasta, calzones, salad, garlic bread, and more! There are no tables inside, but there are a few outside to dine at. The staff was kind and hardworking, quickly preparing orders. The prices are reasonable for the quality. They also have a variety of merch if you want to further support. Arriving for pick up, the building has a cool local vibe. I can also see this place being busy in the winter. I can't wait to grab a few more pizzas again or try more of the menu when he visits again.

I loved the artichoke and ham slices on the pizza and how you could choose two different crusts for a single pizza. The online menu was easy to order from. I liked the cheese islands on the cheese pizza. My picky toddler ate it which made me so happy. I liked that the pizza wasn't too saucy nor too salty. The bad: The pizza was a bit over cooked with some black burnt edges and a hardened crust. The salad dressing was packaged and not made in house. The interesting: Delivery orders take 45 minutes and takeout orders take 30. The prices are very fair and there are many menu options.

The building also has a gift shop and bar. It is cozy throughout the building, specifically, a cabin feel. The staff at the counter were very helpful and patient. I ordered a kale salad with chicken. It was a hefty serving. I did ask for extra balsamic dressing at the time of my order and I'm glad I did since I had a lot of greens. Everything was fresh and the candied pecans added in were delicious and added a nice crunch to the salad. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were perfecto! It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I enjoyed my lunch out on the patio deck facing north east. I had the view of the hills and got to watch people drive into or leave Borrego Springs. Some of the planks on the floors and side rails were starting to show their age or had been damaged. Overall, a great experience at the joint. I look forward to having another bite at the restaurant when I camp here again in 2025.
