Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill in the heart of Old La Quinta, you’re welcomed by a warmth that feels both familiar and inviting—a relaxed gathering spot where the pulse of a neighborhood bar meets the thoughtful comfort of a fine dining experience. Whether you choose the cozy indoor space with its softly lit, pub-like charm or settle onto the patio under a canopy of stars and gentle heaters, the mood is easy, unhurried, and quietly convivial.
The atmosphere here encourages lingering conversations as much as savoring exceptional food. There’s a subtle balance between laid-back energy and attentive care, where friendly staff move with genuine attentiveness, ensuring each visit feels personal without ever rushing the pace. It’s the kind of place where both longtime regulars and first-timers find a comfortable rhythm.
Food at Stuft is a discovery of textures and flavors that feel thoughtfully composed rather than simply served. From the satisfying simplicity of a thin-crust pizza, with its perfectly baked edges and thoughtfully layered toppings, to the unexpected delights of crispy battered fish tacos and inventive flatbreads, the menu invites exploration. Vibrant salads, robust prime rib, and shareable appetizers like calamari steak strips and volcano wings all reveal a kitchen that embraces generous, honest preparations with a touch of finesse.
This is a place to enjoy more than a meal—it’s about sharing moments over carefully crafted cocktails, engaging bites, and easy, natural service. With its blend of old-fashioned warmth, a hint of refined flavor, and a laid-back attitude, Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill quietly captures the spirit of local community life where good food is the catalyst for joyful connection.

Stayed in town for a couple days and on our last night we stopped in for some very delicious pizza. It was amazing, our server was very welcoming and friendly, always on task with refilling beverages, also made sure everything we ordered met our expectations, we sat outside nice and cozy surrounded by heaters, the patio was very clean, and the view of the stars was absolutely amazing.

My family and I really appreciated our server Andi. She did a great job making sure we were doing well throughout our meal. The ahi tuna tower was outstanding. The Santa Fe pizza was alright along with the prosciutto flatbread. I added glazed balsamic vinegar to the flatbread and it tasted very good. Overall we had a good experience here and would come again.

I love coming here. I have been for years. Took my mom to lunch and we shared the fried green beans. I got a stuft taco beer battered fish. Crispy and very tasty. It's like two tacos in one because of the size. Can't wait to go back again.

Not your typical Stuft Pizza franchise. The location is in the Old La Quinta downtown area with adequate parking. The decor is like a warm and comfortable brew pub or sports bar . The menu is extensive with many choices. The pizza was great, i would recommend the thin crust as the regular crust is very doughy. The staff is friendly and attentive. We will definitely be eating there again.

Came on a over 100 degree day to have an outside birthday and goodbye soiree and sat outside with the mister fans. The waitress was very fast and attentive and i was happy i was able to be a late add on to the table. I highly recommend the pineapple drink and fish tacos. The steak tacos were tough and tender and dry. I just hated the fact that those black garbage flies would constantly sit on my food and my drink it kinda turned me off from eating there outside again.
