It is February 9th – which means it is National Pizza Day!!!! (disclosure: I had no idea either – but hey, it is an excuse to eat pizza!)
Here are 5 Coachella Valley pizza joints to grab a slice or two:
Bill’s Pizza
A Palm Springs favorite, Bill’s let you order a full pie or just a slice – plus cheap drinks all day Monday (oh, if only every day were Monday).
Bill’s Pizza, 119 S. Indian Canyon Dr., Palm Springs, (760) 325-5571
Tap-In Room / Whole Foods
Unlike most Whole Foods Markets, Palm Desert’s location is home to a bar in the store! The taps are loaded with microbrews and some tasty flatbread pizzas on the menu. Not hungry for a whole pie? Just grab a slice from the store and bring it over to the bar.
Whole Foods, 44459 Town Center Way, Palm Desert, CA 92260, (760) 797-8200
Piero’s PizzaVino
Dine out on El Paseo without paying El Paseo prices! Piero’s dishes out delicious pizzas from a wood burning oven for lunch and dinner at pretty reasonable prices – plus the happy hour is legit.
Piero’s PizzaVino, 73722 El Paseo Dr. #1, Palm Desert, (760) 568-2525
Stuft Pizza
Stuft Pizza’s menu includes everything from a traditional Margherita to a meatball pie to a pizza scampi. During happy hour, small pizzas are $2.50 off and you can get a huge, 25 oz. mug of beer for $3.38.
Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill, 72840 Highway 111 (Westfield Mall), Palm Desert, 760-610-7990 and 78015 Main St. (Old Town), La Quinta, 760-777-9989
Costco
While it is usually their hot dog & soda combo that gets all the pub, Costco pizza is not too shabby for the price, under 2 bucks for a slice and $10 for a whole pie (just beware, this time of year the snowbirds kind of take over the joint).
Costco, 72800 Dinah Shore Drive, Palm Desert, (760) 770-2810 & 79795 California 111, La Quinta, (760) 775-0370
