Small pepperoni pizza
Yasmin C.

I came in the other night to pick up my small pepperoni pizza that I had ordered over the phone. It was very delicious and the dough tasted good and the pizza was hot and the pepperonis were really good!! I also asked for a side of ranch and the ranch tasted fresh and creamy!! I will come back! Thank you sweet basil pizza! It was very good!

Pizza dough needs salt, pizza sauce is bland, needs flavor, dough is too doughy needs a lil more time in oven.

New owners. They have Jim's recipes. Their side today was what you'd expect of Sweet Basil's. Delicious. Floppy. Flavorful. Soft. Perfect. I wrote this half way through my slice. I got to the crust, it is very thin now. I loved the thick soft almost bagel like crust. But the slice was still delicious. They plan to experiment with their recipes as they are from another pizza place. So once they start that, I'll be back to compare. If you like a certain item make sure to voice your opinion to them. Give them feedback.

The pizza is delicious! It has a really undercarriage, strong and a really good crunch. The service was quick and friendly. It is a small and cute local pizza shop. We got the lunch special which includes two slices of pizza and a drink for $7.99!

I was so hungry I couldn't wait to take a bite

I am a Jim recipe purist of sweet basils pizza. As of right now sweet basil is now under new management. At present, the original pizza that people knew sweet basil for, is sadly gone. The bread is not nearly as sweet, the cheese and pepperoni taste different. The bread/crust were surprisingly soft, so kudos to the new team for that. I tried the pizza DAYS after new management took over, and that pizza tasted like bland dominoes pizza. I'm excited to say it's much better, but still lacking that signature sweet basil taste. I'm not sure anyone will ever taste the same signature Jim's Sweet Basil pizza again, but I'm surprised to admit that I will be supporting you guys until I can taste improvement and something resembling a unique delicious flavor. I'm a company man. Good luck to the new management and team, maybe I'll update in. Another couple months. Much love to you.

The Sweet Basil pizza with chicken was amazing! The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The antipasto salad and caesar salads were fresh and the portions were generous. An excellent value!!! The associate was friendly and the service was excellent.

Ask the Community - Sweet Basil Pizza

Hours on Yelp were updated 3 months ago and says will be open at 10 am. I'm here & they're closed?

Do they deliver?

No, they do not.

How is the chicken, not the wings but the whole chicken? I love broasted chicken but want to make sure it's actually broasted.

Hi Lorrie, our whole chicken is our second best selling item following our pizza. We cook our chicken in a pressure cooker to a golden brown. The chicken comes out moist surrounded with a slight to medium crisp.

I usually opt for the pasta sampler because you get to choose a wide variety of pastas to try. Each pasta also comes with your choice of butter and bread or garlic bread.

It was my first time getting food from here. It was for take out. I ordered 2 take out specials,…read moreand I chose the items with the options available. The girl on the phone repeated the order. Upon opening the order at home, I noticed that beef ravioli I ordered was cheese. Sure, it doesnt sound like much, but when the person on the phone is repeating what you are ordering, I expect the order to be right. Also, I'm not a huge fan of just cheese, so I didnt enjoy the cheese ravioli at all. I didn't finish my meal and bought some McDonalds. I did enjoy my garlic bread, thats pretty much it. The girl on the phone asked me if I wanted to come back and replace the order, but I was already at my residence 20 minutes away. Perhaps, the experience might have been different if I dined in, but regardless, my order was wrong. Cheese ravioli was boring and tasteless, in my opinion, compared to what beef might have been if the order was correct. Order time: 5/5 Order accuracy: 2/5 -- I rate is low because of the fact that it was repeated back and it was still wrong. I think 2/5 is still being generous. Food taste: 3/5 Food presentation: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 Will I be back? Probably not.

This month Eddie's is offically celebrating their 41st birthday…read more Congratulations!!! Almost 20 years of my enjoying Spaghetti Eddie's great food & service. I have told many people about my personal experiences here and everyone that has visited the restaurant from my suggestions were impressed with the food and excellent service. I am temporarily living out of the area, but always make Eddie's one of my first restaurant visits when I return home. My favorite food is true Italian recipe based and Eddie's uses some of the finest ingredients and seasonings I've sampled. From main courses to salads and desserts, everything is delicious and obviously prepared from scratch. Visit the restaurants website and sign up for their monthly specials. These limited edition offerings are available all month long and everyone a stand-out in my opinion. Lunch specials are a real value and the quality is never compromised. Many of the staff have been with Eddie's for ten or more years and really enjoy their jobs and wouldn't want to work anywhere else. I read a review of Eddie's made recently by a patron and needed to update my review of Eddie's made several years ago. This restaurant would not be as successful as it has been for so many years without taking good care of their guests. My experience with servers has shown that they will do anything in their power to make your visit a happy one with great food and service to match. Mike, one of the managers that I have become acquainted with over the years would not let anyone leave without their being fully satisfied with their dining experience. This restaurant truly wants to have repeat customers that look forward to each and every visit. About a 15 minute drive east of Eddie's in Glendora are two sister restaurants in the community of Claremont that Eddie has also created very successfully thanks to the expertise of Eddie demanding quality food and service for each and every guest. You can't grow to this level without giving your guest what they expect from a superior dining experience. Eddie's Italian Eatery on West Foothill in Claremont has a menu similar to the Glendora location. This location is only a bit over 20 years old, somewhat new compared to Glendora. The upscale masterpiece of Eddie's is "Tutti Mangia-Italian Chophouse" located on Harvard Ave. in historic downtown Claremont. Fine dining at its best with an elegant setting and food to match. A special treat for anyone wanting the most special evening of elegant dining. It's worth the drive to experience the menu and decor. This location has experienced 30 years of success and is a very popular restaurant in the college town of Claremont. When you visit any of the three restaurants that Eddie operates you will be well treated and served some of the most authentic Italian food available anywhere. I never hesitate to make a 15 mile drive to a restaurant that truly has exceptional food and service.

After recently reading an extremely negative review made appx 2 weeks ago about Spaghetti Eddie's,…read moreI felt compelled to share my own experience--especially as someone who has lived in this area for 50 years and has watched our community change tremendously over the decades. I remember when the Mayflower Shopping Center was thriving and nearly every storefront was occupied. Unfortunately, many businesses have come and gone over the years. But Spaghetti Eddie's is still here--41 YEARS later! That alone says something. You don't remain in business for more than four decades without doing something right. They have weathered years of change, economic challenges, and even the incredibly difficult COVID era. During that time, they adapted their operations so they could continue serving the community that has supported them for so many years. Yes, the shopping center may not look like it did years ago, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of this restaurant. In fact, on any given night, you may still have trouble finding a close parking spot because Spaghetti Eddie's is packed! When it comes to something as serious as a food allergy, however, I strongly believe we all have a responsibility to advocate for our own safety as well. If you have a severe allergy, it is always wise to double-check your order before leaving the restaurant. Placing the entire burden on a young employee--who may even be working their very first job--without acknowledging our own responsibility seems unfair. No restaurant is perfect, and mistakes can happen anywhere. But I believe a business should be judged by the overall experience it consistently provides--not defined by one incident or one extremely negative review. My family and I have always felt welcomed here. The entire staff works hard, and we have received wonderful service over the years. And I have to give a special shoutout to Manny! He is absolutely amazing at his job and someone I highly recommend. He recently suggested the mushroom soup with truffle oil--something I probably never would have ordered because I tend to stick with my favorites. I am SO glad I listened to him. It was incredible! And here's a tip: dip the bread in the soup. You can thank me later! Then there's the calamari. I order calamari almost everywhere I go, and Spaghetti Eddie's lightly cooked calamari remains one of my absolute favorites. So, before allowing someone else's negative review to make your decision for you, go experience Spaghetti Eddie's yourself and form your own opinion. Think about what 41 years in business really represents: thousands of customers, family dinners, birthdays, celebrations, first dates, longtime regulars, hardworking employees, and countless memories created around their tables. As someone who has called this community home for 50 years, I appreciate the businesses that have stood the test of time--and Spaghetti Eddie's certainly has. 41 years strong, and there's a reason for it. Give them a try. Order the mushroom soup with truffle oil, get the calamari, and enjoy your evening. Spaghetti Eddie's continues to have my support!

In the recent visit, I went here close to 3 PM on a Saturday. For a table of 3, we were able to get seated right away. At the time, it was a nice breeze outside so I asked for the outdoor seats. This ended up being a mistake since there were mosquitoes in the area! When it came to the food, I thought I'd try something new versus the carbonara that I tried and knew was good. Lasagna was the pick this time and it easily became the new favorite for me. It was a very savory flavor that hit the spot. Our table finished with a tiramisu, which was great as well. The quality remains consistent here as previous visits. Parking wise - There are some lots close by that I have parked at in the past. This time around, I was able to grab street parking.

The only thing I feel like is missing is maybe some garnish cause the plate feels a little incomplete when it's just poured straight out of the pan and placed in-front of us. They have a pretty decent menu and I also really like that they have a taste by menu option for two so you can try more pastas. I tried the Cheese and Truffle tasting menu with the Tagliatelle in Truffle Sauce, Pomodoro, and Cacio e Pepe and because the Tagliatelle is so good I feel like it sets the other two up for failure. I think it would work better if the order that it is serve was reversed. I ended up not finishing the other two usually just because I'm a little disappointed after the big wow from the tagliatelle. For the tiramisu, I think it needs an adjustment in plating as well since all the coffee is pooled on the bottom which leaves the top feeling kinda dry and not having enough coffee flavor. I was feeling pretty disappointed and it was only til I got to the coffee that I was like oh this can taste good. The staff is very kind and friendly and are also helpful when asking for recommendations. I also like the open kitchen concept and it's fun watching how each pasta dish is prepared.

From the host to the bartender and our wonderful server, everyone made us feel so welcome. The restaurant has such a warm, inviting atmosphere--it almost feels like being welcomed into an Italian family's home. I wish I remembered our server's name because he deserves a special shout-out! He spoke Spanish, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable for me as a Spanish speaker. His kindness and attentiveness were exceptional--some of the best service I've ever received. We tried the local wild mushrooms (my absolute favorite!), roasted market carrots, beets, squid ink lumache pasta, and torchetti. Everything was delicious, and the pacing of the meal was just right. To finish, our server treated us to complimentary guava and mango ice cream with chamoy. Such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the meal!

They also make sure to stress that dishes don't arrive together. It's mainly a pasta restaurant, why can't the kitchen push out pasta orders together? The first time we were there one of our three pasta dishes was literally ten minutes behind the other two. The most recent visit the restaurant was not full so the dishes largely came together but the pastas were sent before al dente. The soppresini wasn't al dente, it just wasn't fully cooked. The flavors of the dishes are really good but the execution is sub par. One of the folks at our table mentioned it was their birthday so without us asking they brought a scoop of ice cream with a candle which we thought was really nice of them. Then the bill came and we saw that they proceeded to put it on the bill for $6. Didn't want to make a scene but this is beyond tacky and overall I can say we won't be returning here anytime soon.

I like the dividers that give you a bit of privacy and cut down on conversational noise from other tables. The first thing we notice and LOVED was the old school mellow Italian standards they were playing. Yes! Very relaxing and set the mood. We would have sat in the bar, but there was a large group scheduled in there, so we sat in the dining room. Next time we'll try the bar room. The things that stood out were their delicious, rich sauces. The flavors were spot on. They cook their pasta perfect to my family's taste, with a bite (al dente), but done enough that it's not chewy or floury. Fair prices. And yummy desserts. We really enjoyed the tasty Crab Cake app. We all liked our pasta, particularly me, who had the Mushroom Ravioli with the same sauce that comes on the Beef and Mushroom Ravioli. I think there was a Mushroom Ravioli special with a different sauce, but they did it with the sauce I really wanted to try, which was much appreciated! We enjoyed the Spumoni pie--Spumoni ice cream with a graham cracker(?) pie crust. They also made us a traditional Affogato, because that's what my dad likes. But I want to try their version next time. I'm really excited to go back and try their pizza. We'll get one with sausage, since the sausage on my dad's pasta was really outstanding. I also want to try their Caesar Salad. Looking forward to my next visit!
