It was 9:51

Worst experience I got here 15 min before they closed and they said is was fine to order . Had me waiting over 1 hour for chicken. Just to find out they did it on purpose. They could have just let me know it was too late to be serve. After waiting a hour they gave me a refund because the fryer was not working. Ps what really funny is how shakeys pizza parlor only replies to good review and doesn't try to fit the issues.

Menu

I remember when most Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants would have a weekday buffet, and I would 'drag' my co-workers to it (when we wanted variety from our typical AYCE Chinese buffets). Those lunches are all gone now, so when I got the itch of nostalgia, this Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Carson was our destination for a Tuesday lunch. It was very satisfying. My wife and I invited our friend/neighbor to come with us and arrived around 11:20. There was still parking in the strip mall parking lot, but can see how those spots would fill up quickly. Upon entering, there is a line where you order and pay (The buffet runs from 11 AM to 2 PM daily, costing $14.99 for adults [$1.50 senior discount, plus $1 on weekends]). Got our customary water cups, which can be filled from a nice water container near the utensils (there is also a self-serve soda machine). A plate for pizza and a plate for salad is given to each diner, and the obligatory sign stating that a clean plate is needed for every trip was visible. The set-up isn't easy to get a new plate, since the only way to talk to a counter person is to fit into the same line that people are waiting to enter. I was pleasantly surprised when someone walked around giving out fresh plates as old ones were bussed. There were a choice of up to five different pizzas, and it tasted OK (reminded me of Chuck E Cheese pizza) with plenty of cheese and toppings. If you get lucky and get a fresh one, it would probably taste a bit better. But I was impressed with the amount of toppings. I also tried the spaghetti with sausage marinara (OK for a one-time try), and enjoyed the sweet corn, and really good mashed potatoes with gravy. The other main dish was chicken (both baked and fried, about as good as what you can get from a grocery deli, which is pretty decent, a skippable rice pilaf, and cocktail meatballs (which I know I should skip, but can't resist since they almost always taste good). Their famous Mojo potatoes weren't as good as I thought it would be. What I was really impressed was the salad bar. It had more choices with fresh(er) ingredients than either of the last two salad bars I remember (at Golden Corral and on various cruise ships). This is what I returned for seconds, and would be a good choice for non-pizza fans (though strangely, there is no salad bar only option on the menu).

Dined in. Missed the red onions in the salad bar area. Ordered a small pizza with chorizo, jalapeños, red onions and pepperoni. Also ordered the salad bar and a pint of Stella Artois. Food was delicious. Everything was clean. Service was great. Lots of parking.

Heart pizza

Amazing! Me and my girl friend went to get the pizza heart for Valentine's Day and it was sooo good. The salad bar was very clean and well stocked. So many dressings and toppings to choose from. The macaroni salad and Gelatin are a must. The beers were reasonable prices so that was nice. Also the bathrooms were impeccably clean. Elise and Nancy checked on us many times to make sure we were good. Definitely going back. Good job ladies.

It's all about the crust! If you want thin crispy crust, this is the place to go. What we really…read morelove about their pizza, is that they put toppings all the way out to the edge. Never a full bite of bread! We shared a 12 inch pizza, and honestly it was enough for the both of us in one sitting. We got here right at 11 am, so we were the first customers. Took about 20 minutes to get our pizza. However it did look like they were already making orders from online or the phone. We went pretty basic for our toppings and got the standard marinara sauce. They actually have some garlic sauces we will be trying next time. And yes, there will be a next time!

We discovered Burattino Brick Oven Pizza on Instagram and couldn't wait to try it--the videos of…read moretheir pepperoni pizza looked incredibly cheesy and appealing. While in California for a cruise, we even extended our stay an extra night just to visit their Carson location. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The pizza we received was the driest we've ever had. It was like biting into cardboard. Red Baron frozen pizza tastes better. Looking at other reviews, some pizzas looked much better, while others appeared just as dry as ours, so it seems inconsistent. The customer service was good, and I appreciate that, but we wouldn't return for the pizza. Overall, very disappointing.

They truly have been making quality pizza for years and they are not overpriced at all. They actually are decently priced considering how much quality they put into their pizza. The owner is also one of the people who will answer and take your order. They all are great people but it goes to show that even the owner steps in to help make your experience a good one and not afraid to get his hands in the game when necessary. You can dine in but space is limited, although they haven't updated the inside it's still decent enough to have a slice or two with a drink. For the most part everyone orders. You can have your pizza delivered or you can pick it up if you prefer. Regardless of how you order your pizza, I'd say give them a try ask about the current specials they offer or check them out online. They have great family meals that are huge and also decently priced!

Greeted like family by Scott as we placed our order. We haven't been here since it changed…read moreownership; we enjoyed it when it was Aloha Pizza. We're already big fans of Aunty Maile's, so we were excited to support this business and drive from South OC here. We love that they expanded the menu to include plate lunches and all the familiar goodies from Aunty Maile's. We came at 3 pm, and it was crowded. There was a band playing - 4 uncles playing familiar, great music and harmonizing so beautifully. An aunty got up to do a beautiful hula dance. It's almost as if we're back on the islands at a family luau. For the first round, we ordered 2 large pizzas (one for to-go), and 4 plate lunches for the 6 of us. A couple new dishes for us here are spicy miso tofu and char siu chicken. For the tofu, I substituted rice and Mac salad for a garden salad. Oh, my goodness! Their salad dressing is amazing! It has a hint of sweetness and tartness and then bam!..the fresh garlic! Yum! Tofu was good, too! Hubby had the char siu chicken with all rice and no Mac salad. It came with a side of hot mustard. Truly onolicious! Only ask for next time is extra hot mustard. For dessert round, we got a dozen malasadas - 6 "simple kine" and 6 "filled," and a shave ice. Everything was great - food, service, and atmosphere. Oh, I forgot to mention that they hosted a pet adoption outside. So, on top of that, they're people with great hearts.

It's sweet but not overly too sweet. Their lava wings hit with flavor and pizzas do the trick (ask for thinner crust). Also if you don't know their sista spot Auntie Mailes is BOMB as well.

The pizza felt a little soggy in the middle but it still tastes good. I believe our lasagna came with salad that we didn't receive. But it's okay. Service was great even though the wait was long for food, service and seating. I'm telling you.... It was PACKED!!! The Italian sub was subpar. I expected more. But glad I got the lasagna lol. The fountain drinks were good and crisp. Lots of parking but because it gets packed it fills up quickly. Small spot.
