Aloha Pizza and Pasta

Poor service. Food takes forever. Portions are small, food is overpriced. Admittedly, I didn’t go for beer & pizza at happy hour… I suppose they do okay there.

I’ve come to this place a couple times and the quality of food and service has gone down significantly over the last year. I once watched a young girl come in and immediately start clearing glasses and empty dishes from tables, refill pitchers and take orders while the other girls that were there just stood around and texted on their phones. I came in a couple times while that one poor girl was always working and she seemed to be the only one who gave a damn. I haven’t seen her in a long time. The last straw was when I ordered a beer the last time I came and it still had lipstick from the last person who used it. It wouldn’t have been as bad if the next glass I had received was clean, but it wasn’t. This place is turning into a disaster. It doesn’t seem like management cares at all.

This pizza restaurant has very good pizza and sandwiches. The toasted turkey subs are delicious… the other sandwiches are very good too but the Turkey, bacon, avocado is our favorite. The staff here are always very nice and helpful.

The pizza is decent here. If you have a big party order the jumbo pizza. It’s a huge 28in. Pizza, the only down side is that it can be greasy sometimes.

Awesome place for drinks! Their pizza was also good! Come on, dude, the pitchers were very well priced, and their happy hour deals were awesome! It’s also right next to campus with plenty of parking. It’s a great place to hang out. They have tons of options.

I have eaten here several times, and it’s a hit or miss. But after yesterday, I will never eat here again. The veggie pizza is pretty good, and that’s the only pizza I’ve had there so I can’t speak to the other pizzas they offer. They have a great selection of beer as well, hence the two stars. The last three times I have gone there, have been a bust, and with me, it’s a three strikes and you’re out rule. So three visits ago, I ordered two sandwiches and a pasta dish. The sandwiches are just ok, nothing special, but it’s about a half a mile away so we go there for convenience. As usual the sandwiches were sandwiches, BUT I think someone sat on the eggplant parmesan. The pasta container was crushed and all the cheese was stuck to the lid. It was so gross looking, it literally went in the trash and never got eaten. Two visits ago, I ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich, a turkey sandwich, and a Italian sausage sandwich. Picked up the orders and brought them home. When I opened the bag there was one hot sandwich and two sandwiches labeled «turkey» which was a red flag. I open the two «turkey» sandwiches up, and one is indeed correctly a turkey, and the other is an Italian cold cut combo. Not only did they label the sandwiches wrong for what they were, but they gave us the wrong one altogether. Last visit my brother ordered a meatball sandwich, and was extremely sick immediately after eating it, and finally, about 5 hours after eating it, he threw it all up. That is it for me. Never going back. Not to mention time and time again, they are «out» of things that we want to order, which makes me think that they ran out of Italian sausage, and instead of telling us, they lazily made an Italian cold cut instead. I don’t know if that’s true, but that’s how it felt. It just feels lazy, slopped together, and they don’t give a sh! t about their customers. Also, if you’re ordering pick up, depending on who is working, you might be there for a while. Some of the girls in the front are awesome, and others will ignore you and let you wait to pick up your order because they would rather flirt with the guys at the bar who are ogling them for tips instead of ringing us up. All in all, I would skip it unless the ONLY thing you want is a beer.

I use to frequent this place when I was living on campus at UCR. I recently stopped by Aloha Pizza with thoughts of nostalgia. That happy felling was quashed because of the bad service along with the bad food that I experience. The prices are inflated and the pizza and bread sticks were like U.S. Civil War «Hardtack.» The quality and service have diminished dramatically. I believe before the transition of management, the service, food, and staff were far better hosts. The previous staff did not make the customer feel unwelcome like I felt on this recent visit. The spirit of «Aloha» is gone…

Overall we really like Aloha. The only issue seems to be that it might depend on which F is in on what day. There have been times where the meals have been completely different and go from mediocre to excellent with different tastes. Haven’t quite figured that out yet but overall very good period plus they’re one of the few in the area they have food that isn’t some corporation premade frozen stuff.

I’ve been coming here for the past 2half years… 98% of the time I get the Philly Cheesesteak because no other business in the area makes it better! I enjoy a cold beer while I wait; the regulars are cool and the girls that work there are friendly.

I always come here for lunch until today! I asked for a slice of pizza with a extra topping. It was placed In the microwave and the toppings were NOT cooked!!! Instead of cooking it in the oven… I was rudely refunded my money! Not getting my business and I’ll tell all my co workers at UCR as well! RUDE!!!

I’ve only been here once and the pizza was terrible. I got a slice of sausage pizza and it was terrible. It tasted like it was just microwaved. I’ve had frozen pizzas better than the pizza I got here. it was stale and hard. They sell by the slice and the slices are very small.
I went with a friend who had been here a couple of times and liked the pizzas. She said it might have been terrible today because it was a different chef.
about $ 8 for two drinks, two small slices and ranch. I’d rather get a whole DiGiorno’s frozen pizza for $ 8.

They serve stone. Nuff said.
The pizza toppings are good but the crust is a bit bland. The service is good most nights, but when they get a party they tend not to have enough hands on deck so you may have to wait an excess of 10 – 15 min beyond your food being made and served normally.
Overall good place for food beer and a place to kill time.

Love this place. We’re local so it’s convenient and just down the road but that’s not what keeps is coming back. Great service, quick, and the food tastes great. Price point is great, beer is cheap and it’s much better than the other local pizza places. I recommend giving it a try.

This «grungy» little neighborhood pizza parlor is deceptively plain looking. In fact, the food is delicious, the prices are good and the service is fine. Besides having a nice variety of perfectly good pizzas, Aloha offers huge, inexpensive salads and a good selection of pasta dishes — all consistently good. Not a «romantic night out» place, but a great «let your hair down and hang out» place, or just a good place for a quick, tasty meal to eat in or take out. They also have (fast, reliable) delivery service. One caviat — don’t use your debit card to pay for your order — in fact, don’t use your credit card, either. They write the whole number down on your order ticket — in duplicate. So just pay cash. Kind of a hassle, but this place is good enough, and cheap enough, that it’s worth it.

Its ok. Chef did an exceptional job of making my crust crispy. The flavor on pizzas are just ok nothing spectacular. Its a large restaurant with a few arcade games and tv by the bar. Overall is ok, the only drawback is the lack if flavor.

Nice little pizza place. Had a couple of games for the kids, TVs for game day and even a pool table.
Oh.and the pizza and beer is pretty good too.

These people bend over backwards for our company when we order. We have the most complex ordering system and they even deliver far. I can’t remember the last time they got our crazy orders wrong either! The Chicago pizza is great! I’m a fan of this place

Not the best pizza joint ever but not bad either. Noticed they have about 8 – 10 beers on tap. Decore wasn’t anything special and did give it that run down look, but isn’t that what we always remember about such places?
Had a cheeseburger pizza. Wasn’t anything outstanding but tasty regardless. The samplers are definitely worth going for it you’re looking for extra snackage while waiting for the pizzas to arrive.

I would definitely suggest going here instead of Marcello’s if you want pizza, pasta, or subs for dinner. First of all, you can actually eat there because there’s tables and booths in the restaurant. There’s also some arcade games and such, so it would probably be a good place for kids or parties. But this also isn’t the cleanest place ever.
I’ve had a large pizza with sausage and OMFG it was sausage heaven! Seriously, ever square inch of this pizza had a sausage on it; I’ve never seen a topping so packed on a pizza before: O. It was a pretty good, standard pizza though. They have a pretty good carry-​out deal for large pizzas (I think it’s $ 8 for a large one-​topping pizza!).
I’ve also had the Chicken Fettucini Alfredo. Now, I freaking love anything chicken alfredo, but this was pretty bland. The sauce was more watery than thick and creamy and it wasn’t very flavorful. Even after adding some Parmesan cheese, it still added nothing to the flavor :[. But the chicken was really soft and the noodles were cooked perfectly so this wasn’t all that bad.
They have this sub called Da’Ultimate (I think). It’s kind of like the Big Dude from Sub Station, but it has more meat and cheese and different sauces. Not bad, but I still love my Big Dudes more :]. I think this also comes with a bag of chips, so this is still a better deal than the Big Dude, though.
I think this place is pretty average: nothing special, but not bad at all. I would definitely come here again to try more of their pastas and sandwiches!

Like what Jeff K said, it really is the poor man’s Getaway Café.
The pizza is alright. I should try some of their sandwiches.
The restaurant itself looks like your typical pizza/​sports bar… They have some arcade games around and a big screen TV circa 1995 lol. Overall, it is an okay establishment… but I rather head on over to Getaway.
