McClain’s Pizzeria

People kept telling me that now that I live on the north side of Spokane… and since I’m a Whitworth alum and fan… I should try McClains Pizza. They were right. Cute pub/​tavern atmosphere… great pizza! You may eat onsite while watching football, or take it home and watch from the couch. In addition to pizza, sandwiches are good too!

I stopped in while I was getting my car detailed across the street. I had the Cobb Salad and Omg so Tasty! You walk in and are greeted with smiles and awesome smells of wonderful food cooking. Love this place There is Outside Seating!
OOPS! WRONG PIZZA PLACE !! Its curousos on division across st from car masters.

I had high hopes here from all the positive reviews. Found the crust tasteless and dry, and not enough sauce and cheese. Overall, the pizza was seriously lacking flavor. Maybe it was just a fluke.

I’ve only been there once, but it won’t be my last. I had some friends in town doing construction and they wanted to head to a pizza place. McClain’s was the closest so I gave them a shot. Ordered a couple of their big meat pizzas and everyone at the table was pretty much floored by how good they were.
The sauce is perfect. not watery, salted down, sugared down. The perfect blend of tang and sweet. Toppings were top quality. The sausage they use is very earthy and real. Definitely not like the dog food pellets you find at some places.
Will be going back with my parents.

LOVE McClains Pizzaria. Best yummy pizzas ever, great thin crust, YUMMY sauces and fresh ingredients. Owners are fabulous and the service is perfect. I wish I lived in Spokane because I’d go there all the time, but as it is I only go there when I travel over… highly recommend, you will not regret it.

Excellent pizza: Crust was perfect, sauce delicious with the right amount of cheese. Service is slow at times, but 5 stars for awesome pizza.

McClain’s has the best pizza with the freshest ingredients. They have about every possible specialty pizza combination and we’ve tried almost all of them. All are excellent but out favorite is the McClains Combo, Meat Coma or Rosyln. Their salads, pastas, wraps and sandwiches are excellent as well and the calzones are amazing. We love their huge selection of beer. The restaurant is comfortable, clean and they have a massive number of TVs which we love so we can watch multiple sporting events at once. McClains can get packed but even then the staff is friendly and offer great service!

Love the pizza. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. They’re new lighting is perfect! You must try the buffalo cheese bread… And the calzones… And the salad… And the Grey Goose Melon Mule… Try it all! You’ll love it all! Go on… Get a piece!

I was surprised it wasn’t busy for a Saturday lunch hour. We were seated right away. Waitress was friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering a pepperoni, the Spicy Thai, and created one of our own. Pizzas came out pretty quickly and were good. Crust was good, thin, and crunchy.

Pizza however you want and very friendly staff.

My husband had a craving for pizza today, & McClain’s was close by. We were a bit confused initially, since it looks more like a bar than a pizzeria inside. We seated ourselves away from the bar, and after fumbling with the drink menu for a bit, the waitress finally came over & gave us the actual menus.
We had noticed the sign out front that said their Monday special is $ 5 off any large pizza, so we ordered a large Roslyn. While we waited for our order to cook, we played with the Trivial Pursuit cards behind the bench seats. Our pizza arrived, & it was delicious, but due to the grease we needed more napkins. I’m also clumsy and knocked my water all over the pizza, but the waitress came to the rescue with a couple bar towels & more napkins. Even slightly soggy, the cashews on the Roslyn gave it a unique texture, although the whole wheat crust was more than enough texture for me (I’m a white-​bread kind of girl). The waitress’ suggestion of honey on the crust was a good one!
Even with the $ 5 off, our pizza was over $ 20, but we did still have half a pizza to take home with us afterwards. 2 slices of the large is a decent meal for one person. If I was only rating the waitress, she would get 5 stars.

Mmm… that was a tasty pie. I split the BBQ Chicken pizza with my brother, and there were no leftovers. It’s a bit pricier than I’d like, but I“m cheap; it’s no worse than similar establishments. Service was quick & friendly, although we were there after the lunch rush so we weren’t much work for them. I don’t know that I’ll make the drive just to eat here (it’s 25 – 30 minutes from where I live), but next time I’m in the area it will definitely be on my list of places worth eating again.

Great crust and sauce. Ordered for take out so can’t speak to the restaurant. Will definitely try more.

Great family-​friendly place to get some pizza on a friday night. They introduced me to dipping your pizza crust in honey. that has proven to be rather useful.

We Love McClains! The Staff is Awesome. Although they do get Busy at times, they do their best to take care of you. They get to know their Regulars quickly, and make you feel at home. The Food is Great– Biggest Calzones I’ve ever had, and decently priced. Pizza Tastes Great– just try to visit during their Specials nights/​Happy Hour for the best bargains/​prices, otherwise a little pricey but great quality. They rotate in New Local Beers on Tap, so you can find a new Regional favorite without having to buy a bottle/​six-​pack. Definitely recommended.

I just tried this pizza place tonight and thought it was okay.
I loved the Caesar salad which had the best dressing I have tasted locally for a Caesar salad. The pizza was merely okay. Nothing extra special about it. It may have just been the type I ordered because I had to appeal to bland eaters in my extended family. I would have gotten the Greek on my own and will probably do that in the future. I am willing to give the pizza a pass as average pizza. not too greasy, decent crust, a bit lacking in the sauce department, and ample toppings.
The restaurant itself was quite noisy so my hard of hearing mother could hear none of the conversations going on the whole time we were there. The Trivial Pursuit card boxes to pass the time at the tables were a nice touch.
The staff were friendly and the many screens perfect for game watching while eating.

Ceasar salad plus hot sauce!!! YUM!

Fantastic pizza. The Roslyn Pizza was so tasty. I would go here again in a heart bead. Basic ambiance, no flashy décor.

Their pizza deserves 4 stars, their service deserves 1 or 2.
We waited about 20 minutes before being seated at the bar, only to wait almost 15 more minutes before anyone even acknowledged us! I had to ask (two times) for someone to come take our order. When we FINALLY got our pizza, it was really really good — but we were all a little bit annoyed with the poor service.
My advice would be to go during non-​peak hours or order your pizza to-​go.

This is our second trip to McClains and we thought we’d try something different after our last success with the combo. So we gave the buffalo chicken pizza a try. Just like last time the crust was perfection and not in a way that is like any other. It is a perfect combination of medium thin and a bit sweet. Add a bit of honey when you get to just the crust and its like having desert. The buffalo sauce was put on in perfect quantity and it wasn’t too spicy. You also get a choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing drizzled in top and we chose blue cheese. It was the perfect choice. We were both really happy that we tried a something new. The reason we didn’t give 5 stars is that it can get a bit loud if there are lots of customers and it is expensive enough that we only come here as a treat. Bottom Line: Great pizza and very good service!
