Everything but the Kitchen Sink on these Gourmet Pizzas!
Written By: Nicole Fera 6 Piping Hot Pizza Spots in Palm Springs
If you were stranded on a desert island and you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? We think nine times out of ten the person you ask is going to respond with good, old-fashioned pizza! Well, it may not be an island, but Palm Desert has just what you’re looking for if this situation arises. Here’s a look at where to get the best slice or pie in the area when you are in need of something cheesy, delicious—and nothing you’ll ever get tired of.
Sammy’s Woodfire Grill
If great pizza, drinks, and atmosphere weren’t enough to excite you about visiting Sammy’s Woodfire Grill, then this next deal will do the trick. From now until May 31st, Sammy’s has put together some amazing happy hour deals running everyday from 3:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. One of our favorites is their Garlic Chicken or Shrimp Pizza, which has crispy bell peppers and red onion, perfectly sautéed mushrooms and a delectable roasted garlic sauce. They have a great selection and something for everyone in your party to enjoy like Daiya Vegan cheese, which can be substituted on the pizzas.
Native Knowledge: Hot summer day on your visit? We recommend the Organic Arugula and Pear Pizza & a cold Cider to cool you right off.

Giuseppe’s Pizza & Pasta
Delicious pizzas come in all shapes, sizes and styles, but Chicago style pizza falls pretty high on the list when it comes to taste and texture. Thick, deep dish, ooey gooey goodness is what they’re serving up over at Giuseppe’s. This restaurant is truly a family affair and they take great pride in bringing the Coachella Valley their flavorful Italian dishes that everyone can enjoy. One pie we love is their Meat Special, which has sausage, salami, pepperoni, meatballs and onions on top!
Native Knowledge: You can do half of a pie with one topping and the other half completely different. We love variety!

Bill’s Pizza
Walking in somewhere and knowing that we can create whatever delicious concoction comes to mind and have it thrown onto a crispy crust is a wonderful feeling that everyone should get to experience. Over at Bill’s they use only the freshest ingredients, brick ovens, Sourdough pizza crusts that they make daily and other killer techniques that really come through in the final product. They currently have 22 different pizzas to choose from—or create one yourself!

Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill
Check out Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill and see why it was voted La Quinta’s “Best Business of the Year.” They’ve been serving up a sweet pie since 1976 when they opened as a simple takeaway joint and slowly began to grow into the business they are today. When dining here there’s only one way to go and that is with “Stuft’s Everything…ButtheKitchenSink” pizza. This one slice can fill your craving for Italian sausage, pineapple, pepperoni, bacon, ham and salami all in one bite. No need to feel guilty though, it’s got some veggies on there, too.

Birba
With summer around the corner, we can’t get enough of Birba’s Wild Mushroom pizza. It boasts decadent summer truffle, ricotta and taleggio. Yum! The best part is that you can enjoy all that they have to offer outside on their beautiful patio. With a cool drink in your hand and a warm pizza in front of you, you’ll be feeling old Hollywood glam while enjoying the simple, finer things in life.

Johnny Costa’s Ristorante
Johnny Costa’s Ristorante, as you may have guessed from the name, is all about bringing Palm Springs’ authentic Italian flavors and dishes that have you feeling like you’ve hopped on a plane to the boot. This is a family affair and you will find Costa’s son, Head Chef Vince Costa, whipping up all the classics that have been passed down and mastered over the years. When reading the menu, look for their pizza under their appetizers section. Start off with their Italian Sausage Pizza and then have a different pizza as your entree!
