Cecil’s Take N Bake Pizza

Wow I’m seeing a lot of bad reviews I can’t really say anything bad about this place cuz the last time I was here was in 2008 and from what I remember the food was delicious and it is a very cool concept you take it home and cook it yourself from what I remember was the best pizza place in Lake County beside round Table Pizza in Lakeport

I would never spend my money at a place that treats a family like this.

Hands down the rudest group of jerks work there. Every time I call in I get horrible service and made to feel like an inconvenience. I really enjoy the food, but the owner allows this type of behavior and service to continue is beyond me. I will be driving now to the better pizza place in Lake County which is Pogo’s Pizza. I would rather drive 20+ mins to get better service and better food. Thanks for my pizza decision making this much easier.

Usually get take and bake and the dough and pizza as a whole are pretty good. I had no idea the crust is different if you have them cook it… the dough was very dry and chewy clearly taste and feels like premade dough. Called and tried to speak to the owner but instead spoke with Chris who assured me it’s made fresh… regardless it was inedible and for $ 20.08 a terrible deal for cardboard crust. I would have given it 3 stars if they gave my money back… but they didn’t I didn’t even get a receipt for my purchase, not very professional at this joint. If you want a great made fresh everyday dough go to DJ’S pizza in lower lake. And nearly the same price.

Pizza is good I’d recommend it an the prices aren’t bad either. it’s right next to movies theater .that’s a bonus I think. bbq chicken pizza is bomb

Needed a pizza bad called just before it closed and raised to get it. It was great took it home popped it in the oven and it was great
It was cheep and good go and get one toy will love it.

This place seems to be fairly popular amongst some people, but I can’t really see why. It is cheaper than going to the Pizza Parlor, yes, but the quality is lower as well.
Honestly there isn’t much to say. It is pretty standard take-​n-​bake. I don’t personally think it is that great, but it isn’t bad either.
The place always looks clean and they have some nicely priced specials. It is a fluke to get someone on the phone, and I have come by during normal hours to find them closed. Some of the staff (usually teens) are really sweet kids, and some are snotty brats.
You just never know what you’ll get.

The crust of the pizza was very good but… the content was not more than ok, nothing great. I found the price of the unbaked pizza to be about double of what I’m used to, it is not worth the price of gas to come back, I have a pizza place right by me.

Okay– so after 40 years I’ve come to understand that an Italian husband cannot keep that smile from drooping if he doesn’t get his pizza fix regularly. Tony (my hubby) broke his neck in an auto accident a couple decades ago and spent time in traction, accompanied by a bland diet. When finally out of traction and into a body cast he begged for pizza! He said, «Kitty, you don’t understand! If an Italian doesn’t get pizza they die!!!» Our kids started pleading, «Mommy go get him a pizza!» That was one of the few times that I remember him being agreeable to take out pizza. He isn’t always in the mood to visit a pizza parlor and he (usually) HATES take out/​delivery, because of how soggy the pizza gets by the time it reaches his mouth. I used to make pizza for him, but let’s face it– these Lake County summers don’t exactly need anymore heat ie oven at 425 for almost an hour. Can’t tell you what finding Cecil’s Take N Bake Pizza has done for keeping Tony’s smile fixed firmly on his face! Their crust is fabulous~!! and Love their menu. They also have fantastic specials that actually makes it quite economical! So I’ve given them 5 stars plus 5 heartss and 5 happy faces! ps I recommend their garlic sauce YUM!!!

Yummy pizza. Take n bake is convienent. They have great deals for the pizza of the month

I think Cecil’s is the best pizza in Clearlake. Cecil’s also now cooks pizza, but I prefer Take & Bake this time of year, helps warm up the house! I have tried other 2 places in Clearlake, Not so Good. If you get the special, there is no changes to it, but this is OK, have a pizza adventure. Order your own choice, fixed up as you wish. If you order X-​Tra cheese, you will get. Follow baking instructions, a yummy meal is coming. I have always found counter help to be pleasant, guess other folks hit on a bad day.

While the pizza isn’t the best in clearlake, it definitely is worth trying out for the price, since take-​and-​bake is generally around half the price of any decent cooked pizza.
The staff can seem moody at times, but properly answers questions and helps with deciding what pizza to take home.
The one big thing I dislike is the owner/​manager. They never seem to be in (whenever I have come by for food) and the signs on the window, as well as some of the rules in the restaurant, are just plain annoying. I mean, open 6 days a week? I know it’s usually safe to assume Sunday is the day off, but I wasn’t sure, and when I called to place an order it just kept ringing until I eventually reached what sounded like a fax machine (they could at least have an automated message informing customers of operational hours.
I also was bothered by how they deal with specials, which in this case was two larges, one pepperoni and the other pepperoni, bacon, garlic and olives, but they would not let me get the deal with minus garlic/​olives! I didn’t even want to swap toppings, I just wanted them to minus 2 toppings, which would have saved them both a few seconds when making the pizza, as well as some cents/​dollars in ingredients, so I ended up paying more money for less toppings.
Aside from all that, it’s decent enough if you want to stick to exactly what’s on paper, but don’t expect to eat from their if you are hungry for pizza on a Sunday night. I have one pizza night every other week, and they did not get my business this time, oh well.

Great pizza and prices… but HORRIBLE service staff/​order taker. no smile, no sense of humor, they stare u down as if your going to steal their pizza ideas lol… wow…

Best pizza in Clearlake! Love the pizza of the month and always have pleasant service.

Good quick home baked pizza with a lot of options you won’t find in the frozen section in the grocery. Good choice when you want to eat at home and want a unique pizza.
