One of my favorite pizza places! But I have to say--their pressure-fried chicken with potatoes is amazing. So hot, crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy inside. I was so obsessed with the chicken that I had to take the pizza to go. I've been here many times, and the taste is always consistent, with the same friendly staff working here for years. I also love their complimentary bread with butter! It's hard to choose from their menu when coming with a small group. My top picks are the cheese garlic cheese bread dippers, fried chicken with potatoes, fettuccine Alfredo, and the steamed blue mussels. read more

HAIR on pizza :_( and it's DEFINITELY NOT MINE! My family and I have been coming to ChiChi's Northridge for a very, very long time! Never have I had bad service or bad food. I always get a cheese pizza and it's usually perfect! Not this time, sadly! I usually will say something to the server, but this time I did not only because I was with my 7 yr old niece that loves the cheese pizza here and if I were to point that out to her, that would've been the end of it and she's already picky to begin with. That's why I sent an email right away. I emailed with a picture and let them know what happened. I did not receive any reply. I also messaged them on Instagram and did not receive any reply. So I hate to do this on Yelp, but I have no choice. I was really upset and grossed out/disgusted. PLEASE do a better job of checking the food that goes out to customers. I am very big on customer service and had I received a response to my email or message on Instagram apologizing or something that would've made me feel a little better and I wouldn't have written this review. It hurts me to do so. Acknowledging me and the situation and speaking to the kitchen staff to make them aware and pay attention to the food that goes out. I have worked in a kitchen. I have worked in a restaurant...I understand, but this is unacceptable. read more

Chi Chi's pizza is definitely a family favorite. Their pizza is good. There's spaghetti is bomb and their ranch is very tasty! The staff here are nice. The restaurant is a typical Italian restaurant. It definitely needs to be updated, but it is a cute little ambience. Their ice cream is really good. Comes in a cute little cup overall, I've had a good experience here so far. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. We always sit with Alex, he's the best!!!!! All their pizza and pastas are delicious, you can't go wrong with eating here. It does get crowed and loud on the weekends and the wait time can get a little long but the food and Alex make it worth it! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years, and it usually never disappoints. My go-to items to order are their pizza, wings, and potato wedges. They also offer pastas, salads, and so much more! Let's start with the pizza. I always order the same two toppings on my pizza almost everywhere I go: pepperoni and jalapeños. This restaurant also has a "spicy" option that you can add to their pizzas. The pizza sauce has a small kick when you order it this way. The crust is always crispy and well-baked, and the sauce is usually tangy and flavorful. The cheese is always gooey and tasty! Pizza is a must-order item at this restaurant, in my opinion. Next up are the wings. I always order my wings well done at these types of restaurants. The wings always come out well-cooked, with a crispy exterior. The buffalo sauce is tangy and gives the wings a nice kick. Their wings are the perfect sidekick to their pizza. Last but not least, the potato wedges. The wedges are crispy on the outside, with a soft and fluffy interior, a good balance of texture. They have a savory, garlicky flavor, and the seasoning complements the potatoes well. In terms of portion size, these wedges are pretty big! Pro Tip: Order a side of buffalo sauce to dip these wedges in. You can thank me later! As for the service, the staff here is usually very friendly and attentive. They have excellent knowledge of their menu, which helps a lot when trying to order something for the first time. The ambiance is casual and laid-back. It's a good environment for those who don't want anything too fancy, just a friendly place to enjoy pizza with family or friends. This restaurant is a solid choice for pizza, wings, and other comfort foods in a casual, family-friendly environment. If you're looking for something quick and tasty and appreciate a nostalgic vibe, this is the perfect place to visit!

I've been coming here for years with my family and it's never disappoints. It was super empty during lunch time on a Saturday but the food was all fresh and amazing! We started off with their sourdough rolls and butter, always hot and fresh. We also got an anti pasto salad,and pepperoni pizza. The salad is fresh and filled to top with veggies and mozzarella cheese, also comes with a generous side of Italian dressing and ranch. The pepperoni pizza was yummy as well, next time I will ask for it to be cooked a bit crispier. The kids pizza also came with a side of house made potato chips, I had no idea they even made these here. They were cooked kettle style. Overall this place is super family friendly, affordable and delicious! The service is also great, all the servers are super friendly. I will never stop bringing my family here to eat. read more

Chi chi's is known for their pizza and homemade pasta. When I'm in the mood for a really cheesy pizza this is where I typically will go. If you're looking for NY style pizza this is not the place for that. They also make really tasty fried chicken! Their menu has a good selection of salads, sandwiches, pastas, wings, desserts and they also offer gluten free options. Service has always been good. Gets very loud when they are busy. Casual family dining. Parking can be challenging at times since the Tesla charging stations were installed. read more

Chi Chi's Pizza - I was starving and forgot to take a picture of the whole pizza. Partial individual cheese pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Northridge, California

We had good food but there was a table of the most obnoxious people talking business like everyone else wanted to hear them. And the lady had the worse Laugh and was screaming. We asked to be moved far away and still could hear them and I am deaf! When will people learn that people on a Saturday night want a nice quiet relaxing dinner. Is that too much to ask for. read more

Hands down my favorite go to spot for Italian food. Brought my mom here for her birthday. We ordered our favorite antipasto salad, hands-down one of the best. I love the cheese they use! We also ordered the northern platter along with their delicious potatoes wedges and of course you can't forget the fried chicken wings. You can't forget to ask for their complementary bread. Anything you order here is very very good. The waitress was very attentive. At the end she brought my mom some ice cream and sang her happy Birthday. Thank you for going above and beyond for us! read more

Chi Chi's Pizza - Bread, potato wedges, wings, and northern Northern Italian Platter. - Pizza Near Me - Northridge, California

Having grown up in Santa Clarita, Chi-Chi's was an institution. I stopped here for the classic cheese pizza and I'm very sad to see they have dropped the ball so significantly. Sadly they all share the same hub kitchen and quality and flavor has declined at all the locations. The pizza which my family all used to love has fallen off the most. It's to the point where it's bad enough that I won't be back. Such a shame. You hate to see one of your favorites go down like that. read more

The food was excellent. We had the following: -Buffalo chicken wings which were juicy and very flavorful. -Large pizza w/ Jalapenos, pepperoni and mushrooms. This pizza was incredibly fresh and was so good. Note that this pizza tastes even better the next day (Heat it in the toaster). -Pasta with meat sauce and meatballs were amazing. -Bread basket: fresh and so good. The service was the best we've had in a long time. Alex M. was our server and I can't even begin to explain how amazing he was. Our glasses were never empty, our table always clean, extra napkins exactly when we needed it (without having to ask). I highly recommend going to his section if possible. 5 star, 5 diamond service. Thank you Alex. The Vibe is cool. Nothing crazy but they do have the dark red Italian booths which is a staple in any pizza joint. read more

This is one of my dad's favorite places to eat for past 15 years or more, so it has a lot of memories for me. This particular location is pretty busy on Friday night. Their pizza is delicious and actually one of my favorite things to add to my order is their garden salad with Italian dressing. They nail the marinara sauce perfectly so you MUST order a big side of it. My dad loves their juicy meatballs and orders it as an appetizer before pizza comes. They even make their pasta from scratch! My dad came here from Italy when he was a teenager so for him to love the food here, that says something. They stay consistent. I'm not saying it's authentic Italian, but it's pretty darn good Italian-American. Our waitress handled a table of 10 of us with ease and a smile and we really appreciated her. Would be 5 stars but the decor is outdated, chairs look beat up, and it seriously needs a good cleanup and re haul. But...I'll always come back here with my dad and siblings. read more

Wel, a guy can change his mind given nine years. I'd say now, the place is fine for what it is. You'll like the house-made pasta, the rolls, and many of the pizzas. I'm partial to the margharita. The inexpensive cocktails make it even better. read more

Great atmosphere and excellent service. Our server constantly checked on us, refilled drinks, and food came out very promptly. The food overall was okay. The sourdough rolls were really good. Grilled chicken salad was also tasty and probably one of the favorite dishes. For main dishes we got spaghetti with meat sauce and a small pizza to try. They claim to make their own pasta so I had high expectations. However the pasta was a bit of a let down. There was not that much meat in the sauce. The noodles did not taste freshly made. The pizza was okay, nothing special. Overall, good service and decent food. read more

Our family has been coming here for years, and it's still one of our favorite spots. The mushroom pizza is always a hit, and we actually love adding it to the house salad. It's such a great combination and full of flavor. The bread rolls deserve a mention too. They're warm, fresh, and hard to stop eating. This is a great place to bring the whole family. The seating is very comfortable, especially for larger groups, which makes it perfect for gatherings. We've celebrated plenty of meals here over the years and always leave happy. If you're looking for a reliable, family-friendly restaurant with good food and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. read more

Not sure why it took us so long to try this place -- maybe because we don't make it out to Northridge often -- but I'm glad we finally did. The food was good and the experience enjoyable. What we ordered: a round of fresh salads. My mother added chicken strips to hers, and my husband had a Caesar with grilled chicken. We also ordered garlic bread (in addition to the complimentary bread), and for my daughter, a cheese pizza -- which was yummy. The restaurant is kid-friendly, well-kept considering how long it's been around, and offers solid salads and pizza in addition to other Italian fare which we'll have to try another time. The atmosphere has a charming old-school Italian diner vibe, so don't go in expecting anything fancy or gourmet. The food isn't "outstanding" in the traditional four-star sense, but when you add in the friendly service, generous portions, reasonable prices, and nostalgic feel, it all comes together to make this a solid four-star spot. I'd happily return when in the area. Sorry I didnt get any pictures. We were hungry and ate our food before I remebered to take a photo. read more

People always speak highly of this places especially this location. Dined here today and it was a good experience. The service was great (Hailey was our waitress and she was very nice and friendly). The place was not crowded at all and we were seated right away (Saturday afternoon). We ordered pizza and a salad. The food was average nothing spectacular but it wasn't bad either. Also, I did not try any of the other menus items (pasta, wings, etc). They do have a full bar as well and for lunch specials. Next time I plan on trying other menu options. read more

I loooove Italian food and this place checks all the boxes of what Italian restaurants are all about! As soon as you walk in you're immediately greeted with friendly staff. Our large group was seated right away and our server was super nice. We shared the wings and OMG, they were so darn good! Probably the best wings I've ever had! They also gave us warm rolls while we waited for our food to arrive, and I could've eaten the entire basket. My bf and I opted to share a combination platter which included spaghetti, cheese ravioli and rigatoni and it was so good. The homemade pasta was simply AH-MA-ZING! Also forgot to take food pics but trust me, this place is worth checking out. Can't wait to come back for more Happy eating! read more

Had such a great time celebrating my birthday today everyone is always so welcoming here

Came here for a birthday celebration with a group of 10 (we made a reservation ahead of time) on a Saturday night. The vibe really felt like stepping into a restaurant in Italy with all the plants and decor, giving it that cozy, authentic feel. There's a lot of seating, and they have space for big and small groups, plus a bar area closer to the waiting area. Service was great--our server was super friendly and hyped up our group since we were celebrating a birthday. The wait for food was almost an hour, but we were a big group, so understandable. They brought out the wings first, then the pizza, then the pasta. By the time the pasta came, we were already so full! Food-wise, portions are generous. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was creamy, rich, and easily shareable between 2-3 people. The Golden Pressure Fried Chicken was crispy and came with salad, potatoes, and a roll. Wings were crispy and juicy--we tried both the Buffalo and Golden Wings. The pizza (Chi-Chi's Choice) was solid, and just one slice was filling. For a group of 10, 1-2 pizzas, 1-2 pastas, and 1-2 orders of wings would've been more than enough. Parking is public in a shared plaza, so there were still plenty of parking. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual, family-style meal with plenty of good options to share, plus a great spot for groups and big appetites! read more

Man oh man the food was so good. And let me tell you about the beers, I don't know what type of wizard they have pouring but Christ almighty. It's as close as a perfect pour as you will get it, along with my meal the waitress let me customize my meal. No hassle. Just "you got it, anything else?" So let me ask you my friends? Perfect beer and some dank food in a cozy little booth with your significant other. Why not? read more

Nothing special. Crust was really thick. Just wanted to try this restaurant because I never had it before but I wasn't impressed.

At our time at Chi chis we ordered a margarita pizza and the spaghetti with meat sauce. The spaghetti was short from great. The pasta was just so rubbery and not enough meat sauce was put on. The pizza was good. The service was not great as we were ignored and had 3 other tables near us being attended to attentively by our same waitress, Kenya. Until it was time for us to leave that was when we finally were asked for a refill. The ambiance was nice but a few months back was much better and the service was more attentive back than that it is now. Overall won't be recommending chi chis anymore and won't be returning anytime soon. Unless they change their service and pasta from being abysmal. read more

We've always been to their Lido Pizza location in Van Nuys and love it, so we decided to try Chi Chi's Pizza to see how it compares. Chi Chi's has much more space in Northridge than Lido and has better parking because of it. It's a shared parking lot (with Tesla charging stations if you're fancy schmancy) so it's never impossible to find a spot. The interior is huge with lots of booths, tables and a bar section near the front. There's also lots of natural lighting inside from the glass windows while Lido can get pretty dark! We ordered grilled meatballs for an appetizer and a medium 3-topping pizza (pepperoni, pineapple and mushrooms) for an entree. They served complimentary sourdough bread with butter while we waited. The food came out after a decent/fair wait. We weren't the biggest fans of the meatballs though and thought it was weird that they were served dry as the dickens! Sauce was served on the side but it still wasn't very tasty. The pizza was ok but Lido does it better. Overall, even though we liked crossing Chi Chi's off our list of places to try, Lido Pizza is smaller but better in most ways. Van Nuys surprisingly just has better ingredients than Northridge I guess! One annoying thing about both are the restrooms - you have to enter through two doors to get to it and they're small as hell (single person size). Chi Chi's has lunch specials Mon-Fri from 11AM-2:30PM if you're on a budget. Gluten-free options are also available! read more

I've been here a few times and I always have a good time. The place is big and can accommodate big parties which is nice. I came here with 5 other friends so we were able to try a few items. Everything was delicious but the pasta sauce was salty. I didn't like it but everything else was fantastic. The eggplant Parmesan was delicious, the salad dressing was great and the pizza was flavorful. The service was pretty good, a little slow but we had a big party. We also got the potatoes which were the best! There is lots of parking and in a big plaza with other stores and restaurants so you can walk around afterwords. I will definitely be back. read more

I was really disappointed with our catering order. We ordered 2 pans of shell pasta (each $66), tray of chicken, tray of eggplant Parmesan and dz rolls. This came out to $350 which included a $40 tip. The chicken was good and I was happy about the eggplant Parmesan. My disappointment is with the pasta. When I had placed the order I asked how many people one tray would feed. They gave me a range from 5-16 people which is pretty wide range. We had 18 people so I assumed 2 trays would be enough to give each person at least 1 to 2 cups of pasta. When we opened up the pans of pasta they were not completely filled. In the past these pans used to be filled to the top. Paying $66 I would expect the pans to be filled to the top. read more

Chi Chi's is sooo good. Their pizza is great, their pasta is homemade as well as the dinner rolls that come out before the meal and the salads are tasty with their blue cheese dressing. Pizza, bread, pasta and salad just go great together. Let's start with the pizza, generous amounts of cheese, crust is perfectly done and the topping of choice for me is pepperoni, they use old world cupping pepperonis and they put a ton on their. I'm simple or just a purest, nothing beats good 'ole pepperoni. Next the pasta, OMG, love it. Their pasta is homemade, fresh, a bit chewy and pairs great with their meat sauce, again, simple, but amazing. Comes with their baked rolls, can't get enough of them. Lastly, their Antipasto salad is great. Romaine, pepperoni, salami, cheese, tomatoes, onions and peperoncini and blue cheese if course. Yum! The service is fast for a sit down restaurant, the wait staff is attentive and comes around often to make sure you have what you need. They also have a full bar and happy hour, as well as beer and wine at the table. Great place for dinner or anytime. Bonus tip: If you live in the area, they usually mail out a yearly calendar that has $4 off large pizza coupons every month. Take advantage. Enjoy! read more

First time here and I've been living in the valley for 22 years. Friends speak highly of it, so we thought we'd give it a go. Portions are great and the ambiance is dated, but the food was not spectacular but not bad. The service was good but to constantly have to flag the server was a bit too daunting.
