Wolfgang Puck Express

I love Gelsons!
Everything about this super market is top notch. Gelsons personifies the truism, «You get what you pay for». Sure you pay a little more here than you do elsewhere, but you get a ultra clean market with a kind and courteous staff. You get wide aisles, the best produce in the city and so many more amenities there impossible to count.
My family has been shopping here for years and will continue to do so.
Okay I just set the tone for my stink bomb.
Last week my wife came home late from a job she was doing and said let’s bring in something for dinner. Well, she doesn’t like Chinese food and she had In & Out for lunch so that leaves really only one cuisine left, Pizza. Ok, I want a beer and she wants at arugula with our pizza. We both want a pint of ice cream afterwards. Instead of making three stops to gather all of these items, I’ll go to Gelsons and secure our dinner wants under one roof. Here’s where the stink bomb goes off:
I call Wolfgang Puck Express to order our pizza for pick up. I encountered one of the rudest young ladies I have encountered in years. So rude she basically told me to shove my order and go somewhere else to get my damn pizza. I was in shock. I had not been talked to that way since the 9^th grade and that ended up in my one and only fist fight of my life. Of course I quickly hung up the phone to avoid saying something retaliatory and regretting it.
I still went to Gelsons for my Modelo beer and arugula and ice cream anyways, but had to get back in my car and drive to get my off campus pizza.
While at Gelsons I stopped at the managers desk and told him of my plight and he was shocked angry and apologetic. He did the class act «Gelsons Thing» and gave me a $ 10 coupon for my bad experience.
So Gelsons gets ***** (Five Stars) for class and distinction.
Wolfgang Puck Express gets * (One Star) for letting someone work there that hurts their brand and chases business away.
The kicker is I like Wolfgang Puck Express’s food. Go figure? I just can’t go back there like I can’t go back to that 9^th grade fiasco and whoop that guy Leonard upside his head again.

Wolfgang pucks name is on it. That’s about all the association. Ordered the meatloaf. It was decent on its own. The mashed Potatoes we’re tasteless. The onion rings soggy af.
Everyone else said the meal was «good, not great». The portions were smaller than expected.
There are better deals out there. Skip Wolfgang pucks on your next visit, you’ll thank me later

The warm chicken aioli used to be the best sandwich in the world and I (and my coworkers) would order it almost every week. For some ridiculous reason they decided to change the bread, which was absolutely insane. How do you destroy the perfect sandwich??? Now it’s just an ok sandwich that we order once in a while if we can’t decide on anything else. Nothing else on their menu is particularly good.

They change the bread! Too bad the old sandwich was so good but the service still good!

I was so sad when they closed the Northridge location years back. But when I’m in the Encino area this is where I will always get the most amazing chicken ceazar salad sandwich, there is no other restaurant that has been able to beat it. It is a toasted baked pita bread stuffed with chicken, cheese, pesto dressing, tomato and lettuce, the flavor is killer and they heat it up and it’s so yummy. I like that they make your sandwich right in front of you. It also includes a caesar salad for a great price. Customer service is also fantastic.

The food was A-​OK… service was crap! Employees literally watched us face-​to-​face while we were trying to figure out how to place an order! Little did we know, you place the order, go pay inside the supermarket, then come back with your receipt to pick-​up your food. Finally after we figured out where to go to place our order, the guy was so cold… it felt like we were doing something wrong by eating there! Not a comfortable situation anyway… Every single table had dirt or leftovers on it… if you want to eat in, you must clean it yourself because they do a poor job of doing so themselves. Did I mention they don’t carry ranch? Seriously… they serve fries but they don’t carry mayo OR ranch. Their only option is ketchup. Not good guys… step it up a notch. You carry a reputable name!

Man oh man is this place good. The Chicken Pesto sandwich is GREAT! Everything there is very tasty! I call in my order and by the time I get there it’s ready. Can’t beat the prices either. If you’re around here, give them a try.

I’m fairly new to the area and I was getting sick of eating fast food for lunch every day. Though this place is a bit far of a drive for lunch, it’s definitely worth it. Located in Gelson’s Supermarket which I just recently discovered and loved. They have everything in there.
The Wolfgang Puck Express is located in the far back corner of the market and usually operated by two people. I would recommend ordering by phone just right before you head out and it’ll be ready when you arrive. Chicken Aioli Sandwich with a side of romaine for about $ 10. You pay in the front cashier after you pick it up.

I’m hard pressed to think of a better to-​go lunch offering than Puck’s Chicken Aioli Sandwich, served with a crispy romaine. The combination of cilantro aioli, tomatoes, red onions and chicken is unbeatable. I’m not sure how environmentally friendly the plastic containers are that neatly pack up my sandwich & salad, but if it keeps my food warm this well I don’t mind a flood or two.
