YUMMY broasted chicken!! On weekdays, during certain hours, you can get AYCE for $15!! Best bang for your buck around this area. Skip the chain fast food for lunch and come here instead! read more

I ordered using Door Dash a few nights ago, the delivery service was great and received my order nice and warm. The problem was with the Jojo Potatoes! They were absolutely nasty. The oil in which they were cooked was obviously burnt and that flavor was sucked up by the potatoes. I ate only one and threw the whole order in the trash. Looks like we won't be getting food here anymore. What a waste of money! read more

This was the first time here. We wanted to try it since we pass it every so often. It feels as if Pizza Chalet has been here for decades and the decor could use some upgrading. The pizza was decent, and my child did enjoy the buffet choices. Everything was self serve except cooking the pizza. We bussed the own tables and got our own food and drinks include the half of our party that ordered a pizza custom. Overall it wasn't bad. read more

The chicken goes second in the name - in fact, it may not even be in the name anymore - but honestly, it's the crowning jewel achievement of fried chicken in the region. My review is essentially focused on the lunch buffet and Monday dinner buffet (I think it's the same, but just on different times). Largely because buffets give me the chance to try a lot of different flavors of food, as opposed to just an endless amount of pizza of one flavor. In a lot of ways, this place reminds me of a better Shakey's, which is pretty good considering that there are Shakey's everywhere for a reason (I too am a Shakey's enjoyer). First, I have no idea what it means to "broast" a chicken and I thought they made it up, but no, it's a real thing and it's really good. The chicken stays moist inside despite the outside being crispy, even brittle. This was also impressive since the buffet chicken had probably sat there for a minutes, so the made-to-order chicken has to be even better. Second, the sandwich thingies are surprisingly addictive. They have these sandwich rolls, I honestly don't know what to call them, that you can get. I did not expect much, but they surprised me. They have this enjoyable chewiness that reminds me of pizza crust and honestly it feels like eating a wrapped pizza. It may in fact be a calzone. I don't know, but I know it was good. Third, the pizza flavors were fun and nice. They had all the typical pizza flavors. As pizza, I don't actually think it stood out, but they all held their own. The real standout was the strange cinnamon dessert pizza. I don't even like cinnamon or dessert, but I couldn't stop eating the cinnamon desert pizza. I honestly should have topped, yet I continued. My waistline will make me regret this later. I've only had dessert pizza one other time in my life - and that was in Japan, so this place is now my official dessert pizza provider. My only issue is that it's often not that crowded during the lunch buffet unless you come at 12 PM, which means that a lot of the buffet items don't get switched out rapidly. Kind of inherent to the buffet business, there's kind of a snowball effect that makes food better. So I prefer to come either around 12 PM exactly or I go to the Monday buffet, which usually gets decent turnout. Anyways, this is one of my favorite lunch buffets in existence. I highly highly recommend it, and I figure the made-to-order food has to be pretty good too, though I have not tried it yet. read more

I love their Chalet special pizza always. Pricing is a bit high but worth the taste. I have gone to the Monday night all you can eat buffet is a bargain and has variety worth it. But go at 4:30 to wait for it so it's super fresh and before the crowd gets there and less parking read more

The family meal of pizza, chicken and potao's is a great deal. I could eat a bucket of the broiled chicken, amazingly good!!

Go for the buffet - lunch daily and dinner Mondays! The buffet is great quality and value for the price. It includes a salad bar, several kinds of pizza, "broasted" chicken, VERY cheesy bread, potatoes and desserts. The staff even gave us a container of marinara sauce upon request to dip the cheesy bread into. Pizza Chalet is much better than Shakey's in my opinion and the dining room has enough seating to bring the family. read more

I want to love it! It's right down the street! Unfortunately, I had a bad experiences. The pizza was ok. The salad bar was not great. The arcade was expensive. These, I expected. But when I saw an employee use the restroom and NOT wash hands ugh! So I told the person in charge (they said no manager on duty). They did not care. The response was, ok! Blah! Please, do better! read more

We love the staff and chicken!! The games are great for the kids too. A little pricey but the kids have a great time.

Ordered a half & half (aka his and hers) pizza for pick up tonight and also bought some Bro Jo potatoes when we got there. The dude that helped us was so awesome and made us the best half & half pizza ever ! We really love the food here and service was top notch tonight. My hubby put a $10 in the tip jar for your awesomeness. Thank you! read more

For those of you who are perhaps too young to remember, Pizza Chalet used to be a chain of sit-down pizza restaurants with dozens of locations in Southern California. Like many other similar local chains (Taco Tia and Pioneer Chicken for instance), the number of Pizza Chalets began to dwindle and shrink from about the mid/late 80s. Now there are only a handful of locations left, with Yucaipa being the closest one to many in the Inland Empire. Oddly enough, as much as I loved pizza when I was a teen (and as much as I still love it today), I had NEVER been to a Pizza Chalet location until about 3 weeks ago. My brother, mom, and I were out doing errands in the area and decided to pop in to see if it was any good. We heard about the all-you-can-eat buffet and decided to give it a try despite a few reservations. Those reservations quickly fell away! What a delicious gem of find this turned out to be. Its located up at the top of Yucaipla Blvd, "over the hill" and close to the historic district near the roundabout. Upon entering, we noted it had the feel of the pizza parlors of old from the 80s and 90s where kids and teens would go when their baseball or soccer games were over. To add to that feel, there is even a fun-zone arcade area for kids to enjoy themselves in and win tickets to redeem prizes at a counter near the entrance! Wow!!! The nostalgia of it all! Speaking of Nostalgia, the place has staying power. This location opened in 1976 and has been around for almost 50 years and touts itself as "The Best Pizza in Yucaipa". The buffet is very much a bargain. They have a decently-stocked salad bar (with 6 dressings!), a regular rotation of freshly made pizzas with various toppings (one of which is a tasty homage to the Gay 90's Pizza Parlor from Redlands that started the whole "cashews on a pizza" craze, a selection of mini Italian sandwiches as well as desserts. All of these were freshly made and delicious tasting. I don't know if the pizza was indeed "The Best"; but I'd say it's certainly above average and quite tasty. The real star of the show, however, is their "Johnnie's Broasted Chicken". OMG!! Where has this been all my life?! It's a pressure-cooked chicken recipe that seals the delicious, slightly salty, and savory flavor down to the bone. The outside is crispy and the inside is moist and juicy. I kept coming back to this for seconds and even thirds! Some of the best chicken I've had in a long time. The employees here were very friendly, and the food in the buffet never had time to get stale. It was restocked regularly. To top it all off, they even had a decent selection of 6-8 beers on tap including local microbrews! Gotta have a cold beer with pizza, right?!? I will say this about the price. The buffet is your best option for value here. It runs from 11 am - 2 pm every day, and from 5 pm - 7:30 pm on Monday nights. Outside of that, the price of the pizza and chicken by themselves do tend to be a bit more expensive than other places in the area, especially the chicken. Prices seem to be on-par with the Gourmet Pizza Shoppe in Redlands. You can check out the pictures of the menu others have posted to get a good idea. I admit the sticker shock made me deduct a star in this case. That being said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here for their lunch buffet of on a Monday night for dinner. There are lots of options to choose from and I absolutely guarantee you will fall in love with the broasted chicken! A bit pricey overall, but still a fun spot in Yucaipa to try! Come alone, with family, or bring along the whole soccer team! These are the type of local spots we want to keep open for years to come. read more

The pizza was delicious. The cheese they use is tasty and I loved the crust too. The place is clean. The only thing I didn't like was the arcade. The games are a rip off. I bought the kids $5 each card which made 20 tokens. However the game are like 3 to 8 token per game. Other than that I think the prices are fair and the pizza was delicious read more

This place is great! If you have kids, bring them! If you just want some good pizza come here! The chicken is delicious and the staff are young but friendly!! Environment is clean and spacious. TVs and video games are accessible. Garlic cheese bread is so good!! Yucaipa is calling you here! read more

Best local broasted chicken. When I get a craving now I don't have to drive to Knotts :) So juicy and succulent. Order it to go or hot them during the week for the all you can eat buffet. The hours for the buffet are a little funky so call ahead for hours to ensure you have it correct. read more

I have never eaten 'in' at 'Chalet', yet the ambiance appears to be extremely active, family-friendly, but definitely not the spot for a quiet, calm dining experience. That said, the pizza is excellent (both in terms of options, as well as quality). Also, in my humble opinion, some of the absolute best broasted chicken I've ever had! They also provide an amazing cole slaw. Service wait time is reasonable for highly popular eatery, as this is. I recommend this spot to any who share my appreciation for this type of cuisine. read more

This was my first time back since Covid, and I was not at all impressed for several reasons: 1. By 5:15 on the Monday night buffet, all the chicken was GONE, as was the sliced potatoes, and most of the pizzas. Better planning ahead for the early evening rush that starts at 5 p.m. on Mondays. 2. Tiny salad bar. If you thought this place would have a salad bar like Sizzler, you are badly mistaken. 3. Chicken breasts were under cooked. 4. Cinnamon roll with icing on it was dried out and like a hockey puck. 5.. BEWARE! this place charges you a surcharge if you dare use your credit card. Many places are now doing this, and I will NOT be coming back. read more

Shame on the Manager at this Pizza Chalet letting kids running around inside the restaurant while customers are eating. A gentleman ask the kids to stop running around for everyone's safety the kids father came up to him and threatened him to be quiet. If any fights would have happened I would have been there to assist the older Gentleman. Control your restaurant nobody likes to eat in a loud and hostile environment. read more

Pizza Chalet is the best pizza in Yucaipa and tasty chicken too , love the buffet has it all salad bar delicious dessert "

Ordered pizzas & chicken strips for pick up. Pizza was amazing- like old time Chalet pizza. Something was different about the chicken strips. Not like Johnny's. We've rated the chicken at the buffet recently and it was great. read more

I came here with the kids thinking it would be a cool old school spot for pizza and games. It wasn't what I expected. The pizza wasn't good and seemed undercooked. The inside was dirty and there weren't clean plates. The staff is very young and from the ones I interacted with, they seemed anxious to talk or serve/provide basic customer service. It didn't look as though there were any strong leaders/supervisors on staff to provide direction or leadership to the others. I think this place is over charging for the quality that they serve. read more

So........heard family rave about this place. Blame Covid....blame the recession....Blame whatever you want. $40 for 4 pieces of chicken and a medium pizza.... It was apparently an Ethiopian chicken that had endured a hard life...and the pizza was overcooked. Doesn't seem like much Blame beyond just not caring about providing a good product or caring about the customers opinion. The latter was made evident when I mentioned my disappointment. They don't care about my business..and that's ok.....I won't waste their time again read more

Came in about 11:45 for the buffet was told i had until 12:30 to sit because all tables would be used for parties, blond girl at register is very rude and was pretty much oh well! Mind you there was no food made people waiting for buffet food. Was not a great experience and will not come back here, we ordered chicken to go waited over an hour to be told they put our order out on accident so they would make us a new batch of chicken!!! Wtf!!! Worst service. If you are going to have your restaurant booked for parties put a sign out for the rest of the community read more

Ordered 2 pizzas and potatoes. Door dash delivered, we only received pizza no potatoes. Showed pictures to confirm we only received pizzas. Tried to call. Place don hold. Drove to location. Was told sorry we are closing early for Christmas party. Would have to wait 20ish mins to turn over back on and get potatoes. Pizza Chalet got there $50 and door dash got their money Only people that lose is the customer. First and last time we will order from here. $50 for a messed up dinner experience read more

Called twice to try and place an order. Got put on hold for over 20 minutes. We won't be ordering from here again any time soon.

The pass area doesn't have an over abundance of team friendly options so we always end up going to Pizza Chalet for little league team pizza parties. It's really a typical team pizza place. They have communal bench tables. A small room is available, but there's not a lot of space inside. They have a tiny game area for kids. There is nothing unique about the actual pizza, but it gets a pass. Although their pizza is uneventful, I find that their broasted chicken is the star of the show. Broasted chicken is a thing in Yucaipa. Since Johnnie's Broasted Chicken I've seen quite a few other Broasted Chicken places pop up. Now I don't know how true this, but, I heard that Johnnie's sold their recipe to Pizza Chalet. Don't hold me to this claim, because I heard this from a few people, but, it could totally be a rumor. But, I will say that Pizza Chalet's Chicken does taste an awful lot like Johnnie's chicken. It's VERY good, and we go get chicken from here all the time now. read more

So first off I've been there several times. And the pizza is very good but it is a little pricey. If I have to compare it's similar to Shakey's pizza and maybe even a little better. However, some of the employees can be a little rude I've only experienced it once and tonight I experience it again I called to order pizza their website says 10 PM and I called at 730. The female employee that answered the phone said they were sorry but they're not taking any more orders because they're closing at 8 PM. So as I was telling her about the websites at 10 PM she hung up on me. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I tried to call back no one answered the phone yet they were still 30 minutes before closing. So my only gripe is they have extremely rude employees and they're all young kids. However, the food is really good. So just expect to be waited on my rude employees read more

A friend of mine who worked for Edison and worked in Yucaipa retired and moved away to lake arrowhead.

"A very tasty experience..."thats what I was thinking as I finished my buffet style lunch at Pizza Chalet and Johnnies Broasted Chicken.To be truthful I seldom eat at buffet style eateries unless I am familiar with the restaurant or am recommended to one by a friend and Pizza Chalet is one that I enjoy and can recommend!. To begin with their restaurant is sparkling clean,tables and chairs,serving counters,floors,windows and bathrooms are very clean! The serving areas with food are wiped clean with no dressing dribble or loose food pieces-I feel this is mandatory at a buffet restaurant! And ofcourse their buffet selection includes a wide variety of freshly made thick and thin crust pizzas,delicious crispy broasted chicken,a great salad bar with 3 types of greens and 20+ toppings,cinnamon sweet pizza,sandwich slices,soft drinks and a selection of tap beers if you like. Being family oriented they have a great game and fun zone for the kids too! Plenty of free parking and open daily from 11 A.M to 8 P.M. read more
