Klondike Pizza

Great pizza. We phoned in an order and it was waiting for us when we got there. Fast and tasty.

Great old school pizza parlor.
Peanuts and sawdust on the floor.
Awesome pizza. Pepperoni is flavorful. Love that there is a smattering of cheddar cheese on the pizza too.
Good price on pitchers of beer.
Little arcade for kids to play in. Nice atmosphere.
Service is really nice polite young staff.
Look forward to coming back.
UPDATE:
Loved the pizza so much we came back for our final night to grab a pepperoni to go. SAD! 1^st time not eating in. Pizza was suppose to be double pepperoni. I guess they weren’t as generous tonight. Also asked for toasted. Not. Sad job tonight but not everyone hits a home run. I’ll give them another chance.

Best pizza around! Pricey but worth it. We usually order to go but nice rustic family atmosphere where you can eat peanuts and throw them on the ground.

Klondikes! I didn’t think i would like this place, but i left with a new favorite pizza joint for when the family and I are over at the coast. We had the road kill with Garlic sauce and it was delicious. We also had a Hawaiian pizza and a pepperoni and olive and they were all fantastic. All in all this was a great family fun pizza place.

So I came here with my friends to indulge in the all you can eat pizza. After a 45 minute wait we finally get our table. I’m so excited to start eating when… No vegetarian pizzas. I wait 25 minutes to even get one slice I could eat. The pizza was amazing don’t get my wrong but the fact I could eat 1 out of every 5 pizzas that came around, not cool.

This place has a great atmosphere and I loved the salted peanuts. We got a half bacon/​half sausage people pizza and our daughter got a personal black olive pizza with the garlic sauce. I tried her pizza and I thought that the bacon and sausage were both good and the black olive pizza was good too that I tried a piece of. It was a crispy bottomed crust and was a thicker style, but chewy in the middle and good. I would definitely come here again when we visit the area.

I have been here many times and enjoyed the pizza, this time although them being practically empty my pizza took forever and the crust was horrible. Was super tough like cardboard. A wait I can deal with, but cardboard like crust for a 25 $ pizza I cannot.
Service was good otherwise would have been 1 star. Ended up throwing out almost entire pizza. Total bummer.
Did have two stars,
changed review to 1 star because both my husband and I got food poisoning, next day terrible stomach problems. Would have thought we were just sick but the symptoms along with the fact we were both sick at the same time was a red flag

We had the road kill pizza with white sauce very yummy. The customer service was outstanding. Very friendly staff. Very nicely setup love the reasoning behind the restaurant. Very authentic decorations. Very family orientated. Will be back again.

Our family just LOVES the pizza at Klondikes! The atmosphere is so unique and we enjoy the peanuts too!
The staff is super friendly and we highly recommend bringing family and friends to Klondikes!

Tried this spot for the first time the other day cuz We heard a pal of ours might be coming to manage here. We come to AG/​Pismo all the time and cant believe we have never been here. Was so good the other night we came for lunch the next day. We are foodies and appreciate good service and hard work.
Pizza was great… lunch was great… service was great!
Excited to come back especially if these folks bring our buddy in to run it… he will take this cool spot to an even better level. (Sorry for the shameless plug).
Try it either way. its awesome.we will be back!

First off, if you’re pizza particular, this may not be the best place for you. The pies are pretty simplistic– meat, veggies, cheese. That being said, it’s the atmosphere that really pushes Klondike’s from being an ordinary pizza joint to a local institution. The zany Alaskan tchotchkes that line the walls, along with the peanut shell strewn floor make this place unforgettable, and the classic arcade games give it a nostalgic vibe that both children and adults alike can appreciate.
Word of the wise: if you want to check this place out for the first time and really get a feel for it, as well as try multiple pizzas, stop in on Tuesday nights where you can get all you can eat pizza for roughly $ 10.
So all in all, not the best pizza in town, but the friendly, energetic staff and fun atmosphere makes this place a must visit the next time you’re passing though little ol’ Arroyo Grande.

Klondike has definitely grown on me. The pizza is reeeaallly good– especially when it’s hot and right out of the oven.
Tonight, the boyfriend and I went there and there was a slight miscommunication with the order. We thought we ordered a medium– and received a mini. We didn’t even look at the receipt– but we were charged for a mini.
Cole took such great care of us! He just threw in another pizza while we enjoyed the mini. He DID NOT have to do that. We tried multiple times to pay the difference, but he wouldn’t hear of it.
We are Arroyo Grande natives now– and love knowing we can count on the pizza and the customer service EVERY time.
Thanks Cole and Klondike! We are lifers now!

So, I am writing this because I have been to this place several times years back and had a good experience; today, not so much.
They had a lunch special of cheeseburger and soda for a set price. When I asked for the special without cheese, I was told that’s not the special, so I would need to order them separately. It was less than a dollar extra to order separately (no biggie) but I was so perplexed as to their rationale on that. Odd.
I really don’t like to leave negative reviews, but the burgers had a fish oil smell to them and were served on hot dog rolls. Again, odd.
The Sicilian salad wasn’t good, not enough real lettuce and too much iceberg. It was just pizza toppings on iceberg. :(

I usually don’t like pizza because it only offers tons of bread and cheese with samples of toppings. Klondike pizza woo-​ed me with more toppings than bread! I LOVED it! I ordered the veggie pizza with garlic white sauce. Ohhh man I wish I lived closer because just typing this makes me want MORE! I need a moment…
I wanted to take off the green peppers or maybe even the zucchini… BUT I didn’t and am so glad I didn’t! I trusted their expertise. We were all very hungry so we ordered two large pizzas. We easily took home ¾ of a large pizza because there is so much topping on these pizzas that you will be full after 2 pieces!
The 2^nd large pizza we ordered was the barbecue chicken. It was sweet and smokey.
TIP! Pepper the veggie pizza… ahhhhhh

Mama like!!!
They have great flavorful pizzas. I recommend their combo, but with white garlic sauce.
If you like spicy, the Buffalo chicken pizza is tasty!
The garlic chicken was nothing special.
Overall, this is a good family place and they have piano music and Christmas sing alongs during December.

A fun family local pizza place who still rocks the arcade like it’s still the 80’s.
Don’t get me wrong I like this place, but people who think this is the best pizza in the world should probably leave this town at least once. It’s ok to grab a pizzas and beer with some friends or family, but if you prefer your pizzas sans cardboard crust I would suggest going elsewhere. Oh, and the salads are absolutely a perfect model of a pizza place salad.
Oh, I do enjoy eating peanuts and tossing them on the floor!

I was in town for my sons High School Water Polo Tournament, And a large group of us (Varsity Team, Coaches, and 15 parents) showed up and were greeted by a pleasant and accommodating staff.
The line to order was PAINFULLY slow. Think Disneyland during the summer rush or spring break. 25 minutes just to order a pizza.
The pizza itself is okay. Nothing to go crazy over. Not a fan of the dough… It’s a bit tough and flavorless. The toppings were good, but wish they would have had red bell peppers. They have some interesting ones, such as Reindeer Sausage… It too was just okay.
Other than the great staff, Klondike Pizza was middle of the road. Didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it either. Now that I’ve been, doubt that I’d return.

It’s pretty hard to frustrate me as a customer. But waiting almost an hour for a single medium pizza to be made and a couple salads is not acceptable. The restaurant was half full when we ordered.
There are comment cards on the tables that explain how made to order pizzas aren’t fast and to expect 15 – 20 minutes. Every time I come here, it’s closer to 45 minutes.
The pizza itself is OK. The sauce is really sweet. The best reason to come here is let your kids run around and play arcade games while eating peanuts and tossing the shells on the ground.
You’re also not allowed to get your own fountain drinks. You have to stand in line and have someone do it for you.
Meh.

Consistent perfect Pizza…
Been coming here for years now and have NEVER had a bad experience. Great atmosphere and the staff is always friendly. As for the Pizza… I must admit have only tried three different ones. We usually always get a Large Roadkill with white sauce. This Pizza is absolutely awesome made with actual Reindeer sausage. The white sauce has chunks of garlic in it that is amazing in its self. Our most recent visit we tried the Garlic Chicken Pizza OMG it was AWESOME. We can’t wait to get back to the central coast to visit again. I assure you if you like pizza this is your new love.

Came in to try the Tuesday night chow down. It’s our first time here, and the ambiance was pretty interesting. There are ground peanut shells about an inch thick, lots of stuff on the walls and ceilings that somehow manages to make it feel like a neighborhood joint more than the chains that try to do the same.
It’s about $ 10 per person for the all you can eat pizza, salad and breadsticks. The breadsticks is actually garlic bread! Yum, I never really got to look at the salad bar because I was wayyy too busy sampling pizza! Lol.
I’ve experienced this kind of all you can eat situation before and lemme tell you Klondike’s has it down to a science! Never more than a few mins before another pizza makes it’s way past your table. The servers where awesome and seemed to really enjoy their jobs.
The pizza? Hot and tasty! No skimpy toppings in sight here! Crusts are for quitters! The topping go right on out to the edge! They have both a red and a white sauce. They are both quite nice.
I will def. be bragging on this place! We will be back!
