i'm from oregon and came to chi chi's specifically because of my boyfriend and his parents talking to highly of it. i was already anticipating good things, but i was absolutely blown out of the water. the food was to die for and the restaurant was beautiful. you can go there casually or for a special occasion. i had the chicken ravioli with their white sauce and my boyfriend had a pizza. i think i'll be dreaming about it for years. the service was great and our server nicki was just amazing. she was so patient with all my questions and all her recommendations were perfect. we will definitely be back and we will absolutely request to be in nicki's section again! read more

Wish there were more of these everywhere because it's always so good! Walked in and was instantly greeted and seated by a friendly host. He was super nice! Within seconds our server Reyna came and took our drink orders and gave us some tasty suggestions. She was super friendly and on it!!! Food came out perfectly and tasted amazing! She was so urgent with refills (which is always amazing) Thank you Reyna for such a great experience Bathrooms were clean and so was the restaurant. Such a cute Italian place that I will never say no to dining at! Keep up the great work read more

Chi Chi's Pizza - Yummy cheese Ravioli with pink sauce - Pizza Near Me - Saugus, California

Love Chi Chi's pizza! It's not overly sauced which is my preference. We were seated quickly but the service itself was slow. It's fine. Our waiter was working a lot of tables and it looked like they could've been short staffed. He was nice though & attentive when he could be. The place itself is cramped and loud, something you'd expect with a family friendly pizzeria. Not a dealbreaker. My kid's loud so he fit right in. I recommend if you're in the SCV area. read more

Date: 9/6/26: We have been going to Chi chi's for years and I have never had this experience before. We ordered takeout got one large cheese pizza, and one large salad to go which is the Italian green salad. When we open the salad, we noticed that the container was just as big as my adult female hand. I was a little confused because it was barely filled with salad. And I checked the receipt and we in fact paid just under $17 for a large salad (and this is the one that doesn't have any meat in it or cheese). I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, Javier. He asked me to pretty much go in the trash to get the container that the salad came in and read him the numbers off the bottom and then text him the numbers off the bottom. (It has been 20 min since I called and he said he would text me to reply back a picture and he never did. Maybe he's waiting for the restaurant to close) I have never had this kind of treatment before from a restaurant and this was after he in fact, verified that we paid for a large he proceeded to not believe us and wanted proof of the size of the container, which is totally fine, but I was a little put off because I never really heard of a business asking this. I then asked him if he gets lied to often because we were talking about a $17 salad, not some huge filet mignon steak. He said he, gets "lied to about 10 times a day". What a life. Anyways this experience has really disturbed me. I don't know what happened to this business. Not sure if I'll be back. The first pic is of the salad bowl with a marker for size reference. The next is my receipt. I also told him that I would be commenting on Yelp regarding this experience and he was not phased one bit. read more

I love this place for everything else but pizza....just doesn't seem to be their thing anymore. On Valentine's Day, after waiting over an hour only to find out they misplaced my order and forgot to make my pizza, I decided to try them again. This time, they made a pizza but omitted items I had ordered and paid for. Their pasta is delicious. The wait staff is exceptional. It's just time to find pizza elsewhere. read more

Since 1975 I've been coming here for their pizza, pasta, salads and broasted chicken. For the first time in 50 years I ordered the chicken Parmesan. It was delicious and I feel bad that I never had had it before. My wife and I shared it and a small and apostle salad and everything was terrific. Leticia was our server, and she was very good. read more

After an absence of some 18 years since our first and only other visit to Chi Chi's, my wife suggested them for dinner tonight. That one prior visit was for takeout only and that was for a pizza which we thought had crust too thin for our liking. But one memory of Chi Chi's that has stayed with me all these years? Was a platter of their sizzling hot golden fried chicken as a waitress passed by with it, while we awaited our pizza. This was finally my chance to sample their Golden Pressure Fried Chicken, A La Carte; with Pressure Fried Potatoes and a Roll included. So that was my order to Raymon our server, as well as a lemonade. For her, it was a Ciabatta Chicken Sandwich. A very pleasant environment that has held up quite well through the years. Wait times can be a bit lengthy. But everything arrives piping hot and the large portion sizes help to justify the above average pricing. With half a chicken on my plate, I gladly shared. I finished two of my remaining pieces and saved one for lunch the following day. The verdict? Not bad, I must admit. Very well seasoned, almost on the verge of being overly. But okay. The pressured potatoes weren't bad either; I may have finished 1 1/2 of the I believe initial 4. While wifey just managed nearly half of her sandwich. Also lunch for tomorrow. Raymon was very responsive to our every request. And always with a delightful attitude. Even offering to refill my glass of lemonade. We could learn to put Chi Chi's in our mix. Why not? We've been regularly passing them by all these years, being that they're so close to home. read more

Been going to Chi Chi's pizza for years. Normally good service and fantastic pasta. Went today and not so good! There were so many small gnats buzzing the table and food, it got really annoying. Called the manager over to the table to complain. His answer. 'Yeah we know about them and they should be gone soon'. And he left. That was the best he could do and his best answer!! NOT GOOD!! read more

Food was delicious, homemade pasta spaghetti with meatballs, to-go service was spectacular, and the ambiance was phenomenal, great family place to take your family, Price was decent as well for serving size read more

The food was delicious and the service was gracious! You need to try Chi Chi's if you haven't already~ a true Santa Clarita staple read more

Just like the others in this small chain. Good, maybe even a tad above par, reasonably priced middle of the road Italian fare. House-made pasta's quite good. Nice margarita pizza. Excellently priced drinks. Not sure if this one has gelato, but if it does, order it. Maybe the most authentic thing on the menu and worth the indulgence. read more

Had dinner here today Sunday, August 9. Service was great with Leticia. Seemed to be really busy. With a wait of abt 10 minute. Wait. I ordered the Tuscan grilled chicken with seasonal vegetables. Unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked so was a bit. Chewy. Vegetables were delicious. Had an Arnold Palmer was served in disposable cups. Ambiance was family oriented. Bathrooms were crazy humid. But were well stocked with paper towels and soap. Northridge location is much better. My bf had the Buffalo wings and clam chowder. Bread was not warm enough and soup was very good. But wings were a little dry and needed some sauce. They were eh. Disappointing. read more

Food is consistently good. To go orders are usually ready on time. The only negative maybe price. Anti pasta salad is rather small and it's over $20. Competitors are half that. read more

I've giving a 4 because this place has been my go to since childhood..... I'd rate it a 1 recently due to their extremely poor customer service. I know they don't "take reservations" but I called with a heads up AND got there a HALF HOUR early for my group...... While they eventually accommodated during a completely empty restaurant....it was very unwelcoming the way they treated me through the process. They have 90% of their air ventilators CUT OFF COMPLETELY so I got there early to ask for one of the AC ventilated rooms..... it was a fight. It shouldn't have been. read more

See the picture of the pizza on the right? Now that's a pizza. The toppings are exposed not buried read more

It is so rare that you experience good food and good service together these days. Our servers name was Ramon I think? Amazing. The fried chicken was good but a little over done so it was dry. The pizza was good and so was the fried calamari. We would come back for Ramon and his excellent service alone. read more

Been going to this restaurant my whole life! Well known in SCV for being a great Italian place, comfortable, welcoming, and most of the servers have been there forever and know you! All of the food is fresh, you can watch the open kitchen roll out pizza dough and cook. Fantastic for groups, families, dates etc. the portions are generous, come and get some wine or a pitcher of beer and pizza! I love their gluten free pizza, but all of their salads, pastas, and fried thicken is famous amongst my friends and family. read more

great soul food, service is good as well. Nothing special, you get what you expect just a bit overpriced.

They make the type of pizza where everything slides off I ended up eating oily crust. The beef ravioli was god though. Id give them a 5 out of 5 for sure and service was great too. read more

Its probably been 25 years since my last time here but when at the theater and we decided on pizza for dinner this place was suggested. The chicken pizza and pasta were as I recalled it: tasty quick and inexpensive.Good to know some places tested time and came out on top read more

Best food ever. Spaghetti all you can eat is fresh pasta. Their salad is always fresh and sourdough rolls so good!

Ordered food for takeout. Among a few orders we ordered pasta with meat sauce. This is how much sauce we got. Very sad and disappointed when we got home. read more

Chi Chi's Pizza - Fresh Pasta WIth Chi-Chi's Full Bodied Meat Sauce - Pizza Near Me - Saugus, California

I've been going to Chi Chi's pizza 54 years. Whenever my daughter comes to town, she always asked to go to Cici's. It's Nostalgic and traditional for us. It brings up memories from her childhood and feels like home. They have the best cheese on their pizza and the same cheese goes on their salad if you ask for the extra salad cheese and it is delicious and creamy and wonderful. read more

Best pizza in Santa Clarita. The kids love to watch them working through the window. It's a family atmosphere, no frills, but good service. The pasta and other food is about as good as anywhere else, but my mouth waters just thinking about the pizza. Something about the the cheese is just different--buttery, creamy. My only note is that we ordered a sausage pizza with sliced jalapeño, and they inexplicably sliced the jalapeños lengthwise, which was an odd choice. But the pizza was freaking delicious anyway, so I cannot take away any stars. read more

A long time family go-to spot. Has an old school vibe to it, not fancy but nice enough for an Italian restaurant. The food is always good. The bread rolls they give you while you wait are always warm. We always order the Antipasto salad and a Margarita Pizza, 10/10. I'll sometimes order a pasta dish instead and am never disappointed. I think they have an AYCE pasta option as well. Service is always great too. Highly recommend for a family dinner night. read more

Not as good as I remember and the price is very high service was ok took a while to get your food

Ordered the lasagna and lg. salad, $45.00 Later!!!!!! Shared with my husband, the sauce was not right. I love Chi's Chi's have gone there for over 30 years. Disappointed yesterday.. read more

First, I don't why people love this place so much. Their food is mediocre at best but people sure love it. So I go there with my wife and in-laws, people who love it, and we order the following: medium pizza two toppings, three salads, pasta and red sauce, meatball sandwich, two beers and two cokes, and it's $124.00. It is absolutely insane how much they charge AND they charge for the rolls which were the only thing I like at the place. Really, you charge me that much and you can't throw in a friggin roll? And then I'm supposed to tip another 25 dollars, $150.00 for Chi Chi's? And finally, their pizza is really lacking. I can think of several places that are far better. I will say this, our server was really good but what happened to 15% being a good tip? Damn....... read more

I really enjoyed my entire experience here. The restaurant has a great vibe, the staff is really kind, and the food was great. Our server was Nikki, and she recommended really great items, and everything we ate was great. My only regret was not coming here sooner. We got a 3 topping pizza, and antipasto salad. The pizza was delicious, and I loved the "salad cheese". I will definitely be back. read more

The best pizza in the Santa Clarita area. Definitely better than slice house and better than tomato Joe's.

I picked up my order through the drive-thru and specifically asked for 4 extra ranch sauces. Somehow, not a single one made it into the bag. It's a small detail, but when a customer clearly asks for something that simple, you'd think the staff could manage the bare minimum and actually check the order before handing it out. Pretty frustrating to pay for food and then realize the most basic request was completely ignored. read more

I used to lunch at Lido's Pizza in San Fernando Valley when I worked in the area and after learning that Chi-Chi's and Lido's were associated, I didn't doubt we would like this place when we moved here in 2007. Been coming here since and celebrating birthdays here have become a family tradition. Ambiance is casual. Booths and decor are a little outdated. To me it's like a late 80's/early 90's feel, but I come for the food and service. I can honestly say that we've never had bad service or even questionable service here. Food is always consistent with taste and presentation. Warm bread rolls and butter are served when dining in. They also have Italian Cream Sodas in a variety of different flavors and the cream is served on the side. There's plenty of options on their menu, not just pasta and pizza. The clam chowder and salads are pretty good too and I highly recommend their Golden Wings. They also have a kids menu. read more

We visited on Saturday Nov. 8th in the afternoon. I live in Orange County and this is where we love to go when we visit our kids. Oh my goodness, everything was sooooo good. We were a party of five, including a child. We had pizza and several pasta dishes, including spaghetti and chicken parmesan; all were wonderful! The service, by Edoja, was above and beyond for us. He catered to my grandson, which made him very popular indeed; all the while being very professional. He made the entire meal more fun! read more

Everything was so delicious! The pizza was honestly the best I've ever tasted, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just the right texture. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves great pizza and good service. read more

I'm so sorry, I hate being negative in my reviews. Sadly, this one is more negative than I liked. But they did try to redeem themselves, our server was sweet, only because I think she realized she had messed up so badly... but I will give it that she did try and she was helpful after the mess up at the beginning...We came in separately and my husband was sat ahead of me..when I came in I asked the host where my husband was seated and described him...he pointed to the back of the restaurant...instead of taking me to him...I walked around aimlessly for a few minutes looking for him( tucked into a corner) where we sat...and sat and sat some more...and just as we were about to leave because I saw two other couples seated and served drinks, our server finally saw us and came to take our order....still not offering us drinks...she took our order and was taking our menus and my husband quickly added and I will have a water and my wife will have an iced tea...because I was hangry enough to just cancel everything and leave...and we all know this girl like her pizza and her food in general....after this very rocky start this place kinda redeemed themselves...the wings were good, nice and crispy had a good kick to the spice...however, they came out with the pizza so they're not an really appetizer...our server did warn us of this so points there...the pizza although nice and Chicago style with the cheese on top of the toppings, the dough was thick and a little tasteless, the sauce was very tomatoey not a good blend of spice and sweet...the cheese saved it by being a great Mozzarella...even as it started to cool it didn't become rubbery which is a definite sign of quality cheese... All in all we were not impressed with the service, or really the food...they did redeem themselves towards the end...not my first choice in this area...more of a three and 1/2 stars. read more

Dry stale hard as a rock crust! Paid 60.00 bucks for 2 pizzas that were terrible. So disappointed. Don't wast your money

Let me start that by saying we have been a customer since I was 16 in 1976. 49 years as a customer. We have been to the Saugus, Northridge, Canyon Counrty .....Lido Pizza on Victory. We have eaten at all of these locations over 500 times ( added together or about once a month) in that 49 years. The food has always been good portions, prices are fair, excellent servers & above expectations the quality of the food. Some of that changed after Covid. Prices went up more than expected ( like at many restaurants ). Very frustrating for sure. Servers from BoBo to Claire to name a few at the Saugus location have made us feel like family. That all changed when they told me the SourDough rolls were going to cost me $2.50 for 2 or I think $4.50 for 4. I'm sorry, if I go to Rattlers BBQ or Wood Ranch BBQ... 4 rolls for 2 people are STILL FREE. If I go to Don Cuzco's chips are free and unlimited. Today my Wife & I went to Chi Chi's and again I was told I had to pay for rolls, and I said really.... You're still wanting to charge me.... I'll pass. I spent $62.00 for 2 small salads, and a medium pizza with 2 topping and 2 ice teas and we didn't qualify for the basket of 4 Rolls..... I believe if you order $18.50 pasta with meat sauce they are free. I will not stop going to Chi Chi's but I will definitely frequent other restaurants that value their customers. Yes it's only $2.50 or $4.50 but it's to me as if you get a cup of coffee and the 2nd is not free anymore. I hope the owners realize it's not worth losing an almost 50 year customer And my kids and grandkids all feel the same. read more

Love the pizza, service is great, pasta is good, but seriously now they are charging for rolls. With their prices it's pretty ridiculous that they need to charge for little rolls. $2.99 for four. read more
