    Medium 1/2 cheese, 1/2 Sausage, Pepperoni, Bell Pepper, Onion & Mushroom on thin crust...perfect!
    Misty Jo A.

    When you walk up to this place it "seems" like a hole in the wall kind of place....but when you walk in it's a different story...plenty of seating and it's homey atmosphere. And they're old-school in the that you order you pizza and they write it down on the old triplicate forms...IFYKYK...it was great...our little server was wonderful...(sadly I failed to get her name for a shout out)..she knew her stuff and was personable...and she knew how to count change which is a dying art!! Now to the pizza!!! We ordered a medium thin crust and the crust was perfect...not crunchy like a cracker but that perfect crisp...loved it!! The cheese was a quality cheese because we let it cool too long on the way back to our hotel but the cheese didn't get hard or salty, it still tasted awesome... There was lots of sauce and it was the perfect blend of spices and sweet that we love... We also ordered half with pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions and mushrooms and they did not scrimp on those... I'd say all in all in-spite of it being cold ( our fault not theirs) this was one of the better pizzas we've had in a while...definitely recommend giving them a try and when we come through again we'll be ordering from them and hopefully that time not letting it get cold...

    Pastrami sub

    Pastrami sub was amazing! great service as well. everyone who works there is super nice and friendly. will be back!

    Sorry looking pastrami sandwich.

    This is an update to a review I made earlier in the year. I was very complimentary of the pastrami sandwich as being the best or one of the best I've ever had! Unfortunately, I've been in twice since that visit and both times the pastrami sandwich was a 3 out of 10. Looking like store-bought pastrami that they ran through the microwave. Very disappointing and a MASSIVE drop-off from the spring. I'm sure this place has a lot of great items but the pastrami sandwich is absolutely not one! See attached photo - this is what it's looked like the last two times. I will definitely be back to Pizza Chief because it's local and we love that, but either fix this sandwich or just remove it from the menu because this ain't it! Giving 4-stars and not less because I don't want to hurt their rating, but I do want ownership/management to see the feedback on this item.

    This is such a nostalgic and delicious place. I've been coming here since I was a kid or ordering delivery and it's always so good. It's more affordable than some others. They let me order the personal size of the bbq chicken pizza! It's so good!!!! The turkey sandwich was great. The salad bar has SO many options and I. Need to remember this salad bar bc there aren't many left like this one. The place is clean and the staff are friendly and I'm so happy it hasn't changed.

    Pizza Chief isn't just about the food--though their delectable pizzas and scrumptious sandwiches would be reason enough to keep coming back. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible sense of community they've cultivated. The crew here operates like a family, and that warmth extends beyond the kitchen. They host fantastic events like Back to School supply drives for local non-profits and comedy shows to uplift local comics. Even though I don't live in the same county, I'm more than willing to make the trek here multiple times a month. Pizza Chief isn't just a pizza shop; it's a place where community and great food come together in the best possible way.

    A true Ventura staple! Great unique pizza! They are doing a pizza of the month and it was super creative. Like nothing I've had before. Also love the comedy night is so much fun!

    Was looking at different food places around me since I'm housesitting/dogsitting in the area and this one caught my attention because it wasn't very far away from where I am. Looked on the menu online and prices are fair and pizzas looked great but then I see something everyone wants to see... the specials! Every day of the week is a specific special such as today's Monday special which is a large one topping pizza for $15 and something change. Couldn't resist that offer so I placed the order and the person on the other end of the line was very accommodating and helpful despite my hearing problem I have and was able to place an order ready for pickup within 15 minutes. It filled my car up with that enticing aroma of freshly made pizza that I couldn't wait to get back asap to eat! They're worth it and very delicious! Dough is good, plenty of cheesy goodness to satisfy but also not over done with the cheese. Nice savory Pepperoni with little crispy rims and not to mention a good crust as well to round it all out. Definitely coming back here again since it was only 5 minutes away for pickup and the monday deal is not to be missed if you're in the mood for pizza like I was! Thanks again to everyone there who helped me out to get this delicious pie! You guys are awesome! Keep on keeping on!!

    Ultimate Hawaiian Pizza
    Jennifer F.

    We got delivery this time. Delivered within the time promised We got the Ultimate Hawaiian Pizza, garlic bread with mozzarella & the spicy thai chicken wings. The Ultimate Hawaiian pizza was perfect! Canadian bacon, pineapple, real bacon bits, jalapenos & red onion with BBQ sauce vs red sauce. The garlic bread was delicious with every bite, even though the cheese ended up all on one side. The spicy thai wings had great flavor & not too spicy... they were enjoyable!

    Bbq chicken and other half is cheese. 50/50

    Walking into this place feels like stepping into a tiny boutique that accidentally got taken over…read moreby a 90s rock playlist and a dentist's waiting room aesthetic. White walls, music, and the smell of genuinely great pizza in the air. Sadly, ordering that pizza feels like you're interrupting a very important staff meeting about not wanting to sell pizza. The vibe leans heavily toward uninviting. No fountain drinks, no water cups, just bottled beverages like you're at an airport kiosk. After you finally place your order, settle in. You're looking at a solid 45 minutes to an hour before your pizza makes its grand entrance. While we waited, a staff member walked up and slapped a "sold out" sign on the door. It was 5:45. They close at 9. We then watched the live theater of confused customers being turned away mid-evening. Bold strategy. Now, the pizza. Credit where it's due. The dough is legit. Sourdough crust that actually tastes like something, nicely baked, good sauce, and a thin, almost cracker-like profile. This is not your thick, floppy slice situation. It's crisp, light, and honestly pretty enjoyable. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than your average chain pizza? Absolutely. Just be prepared to feel slightly unwanted while acquiring it.

    Meatless and mad…read more Topper's has been my go to pizza place ever since it opened in Ventura. 90% of the time I love the pizza but not tonight. I ordered a medium 1/2 cheese with extra red sauce and 1/2 Veggie, kinda a standard order. Tonight the cheese side was great as usual but the veggie had some type of unknown meat mixed in above the veggies. For many reasons, too many to list I have not eaten meat since 1975. I know the taste of good veggies and deplore the taste of any type of meat. Because there are so many veggies in the pizza I'd have inspect the pizza with a magnifying glass to make sure it's meatless, but should I have to? I took a bite of the veggie and tasted the meat hidden among the veggies and spit it out. No more veggie pizza for me. Come on topper's. Can't you give a loyal customer what they order? No meat means no meat. You Owen the Ventura County pizza market, you have a good product but BE CARFUL. I'm mid July Ventura gets a slice house pizza place. I know I'm one loyal Toppers customer that will give Slice House a good look.

    This is the second Toppers I had visited in Ventura County. My car was dropped off at Bug Brand…read moreTires for maintenance and I decided to walk down East Main towards the shops and stopped by for a bite. They have a salad bar here and plenty of seating but since today feels like the first cool day in the past week, I decided to sit out on the patio. I order a lunch size pizza (includes 2 toppings) and a fountain drink. I got a sausage and olive pizza. For size reference, it's the size of a ball cap or a small salad plate. Definitely is a 1 serving pizza but plenty to feel satisfied with. Pizza is as good as the Oxnard harbor location.
