Before Stuft Pizza gained recognition as a top restaurant in Palm Desert, and La Quinta, Jack Bertram and his wife, Pat, launched the first Stuft Pizza in Cerritos, California in 1976. After nearly 9 months of experimenting, Jack developed the recipe for the now beloved pizza. Despite initially offering only take-out pizza, the store's unwavering commitment to quality propelled its success. Two years later, Jack and Pat opened a second store in Whittier, and in 1986, Stuft Pizza transitioned into a franchise.

While franchisee-owned outlets operate outside the Coachella Valley, the Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill locations in the desert, both owned by the Bertram Family, are distinct. Since 2004 in La Quinta and 2014 in Palm Desert, we have been proud fixtures in the desert, boasting expanded menus, full bars, full service, HD TVs, and an exceptional wine list.

    Great evening at Stuft Pizza! Now that the Snowbirds are back...very busy...but service and food excellent. Since moving to Palm Desert 7 years ago...I will go out on a limb and say they have the BEST pizza. All dinner items reasonably price as well. Nice date evening.

    Was seated in an area by ourselves. We seemed to be an afterthought by wait staff. Didn’t get our salad before pizza was served. Both were served together. I sent the salad back. Waitress thought we wanted salad served together, although never asked. A manager had to get us a beverage refill. This was unusual, but very disappointed with our experience.

    I couldn't find the mozzarella sticks on the menu. The mozzarella sauce is not good but they are outstanding with the ranch dressing. We always get the pizza with barbecue sauce drizzled on top and thin crust which is very good. The calamari is also very tasty, and it is served with two sauces I personally like the mustard like sauce it comes with. The wings with buffalo sauce are to die for. The wings are very crispy and the sauce is very good along with the ranch dressing. And they are a good portion. I just tried the rib bites last night and they were very tasty. The half pound cheeseburger was very chard and tasty, the fries are really good without salt.

    The LaQuinta restaurant is so much better. It’s depressing as service was very slow. Granted it was NyE
