Sports bar feel with a lot of tvs. The food was way better than I expected. The staff was so attentive and helpful because, yeah, we did have questions. My group all got personal sized pizzas.

Best cauliflower crust pizza I have ever had. We ordered both a cauliflower crust pizza and a sourdough pizza and both were fantastic. High quality cheese. We tried the wings too and they were outstanding. Generous portions of ranch and hot sauce on the side. We will definitely order from here again.

We were looking for a pizza joint close by to the hotel we are staying at and this place did not disappoint! We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the actual food (sorry!), but it was all delicious! We ordered a medium pizza, half cheese and half pepperoni and the pizza was tasty! It’s a really thin crust and you can get sourdough if you ask. Even the pepperoni was super thin and crispy and we really enjoyed it. We also ordered a Chef salad and a classic sub. The classic sub was one of the best I have ever had. The bread was magical, light and crisp on the outside and there was tons of meat, peppercinis, just loads of flavor! It was a big hit with all of us. I think the salad was our least favorite only because there were just way too many toppings and not enough actual lettuce for us to all share and enjoy with our pizza and sandwich. But for the price, we were satisfied customers and would definitely eat there again. Note that it’s pretty loud inside. But there is lots of outdoor seating so not a problem if you aren’t a big sports person or want it a bit quieter. The shopping center also has at least 4 other eating choices so it’s a good option if some in your party want other types of food.

I ordered a small Works pizza and side salad for takeout. It was ready on time, parking is easy, and I had no wait at the counter. The counter staff were exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic. The pizza was packed with ingredients and was delicious. A small is plenty for two. Will definitely order from them again.

Billy Q's was a fun place to go eat! We enjoyed watching hockey while eating our pizza. The staff was friendly and the service was great! Chicken Caesar Salad: the salad was great! The serving was large with lots of chicken and croutons. Mac N Cheese-Za: the pizza was delicious! It tasted like it had a garlic sauce which was really good. The Mac N Cheese on top was an interesting twist! It was pretty heavy.

Good pizza and sub sandwich. Got a personal meat pizza, and it was delicious. Also got the barbecue pulled pork egg rolls for appetizers and they were super yummy.

My wife and I were told about this place and decided to stop by to have dinner. We had the pastrami pizza and cheese sticks. Both were great, but the pastrami pizza was amazing but ate more than I should have. We ordered a large pizza, but we should’ve actually ordered a medium, but the leftovers will taste as good as the meal itself.

When will Yelp have a 10 star rating? My son at CSU San Bernardino in Palm Desert has often mentioned enjoying the food at Billy Q's which faces the campus a bit north on Cook Street. He brought two pizzas to us last night and they were some of the best this New Englander ever has had in all my 75 years, truly. A vegetarian and a hawaiian only lasted a few minutes with the three of us swooning between bites. I understand this sweet little place has an authentic feel as though I were still standing at a table eating New York pizza near City Hall in Manhattan so now I am figuring out how to get there when we can relax and have space to savor more food. Thank you, Billy Q's for your brilliant comforting pizza wizardry.

EXCELLENT PIZZA! Nothing like a "run of the mill" take-out pizza place, tucked away in a strip mall and commercial area. , that it may appear to be. No. Billy Q'a is a delicious pizza house that you would want in your hometown, and... you'd order at least once a week because it is that good and everybody loves it. Enjoy!

Stopped by Billy Q's on a Wednesday evening while staying at the nearby JW Marriott. We wanted to step out for a second and found Billy Q's on Yelp. It's a small pizza joint in a shopping center. Pete was our server and was nice and friendly. He mostly talked to my boyfriend about baseball as the establishment is adorned with sports memorabilia. We ordered a small pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and sausage on sourdough crust. Yum! Yum! The atmosphere was relaxed, and I loved that there were TVs everywhere. We got to watch the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Dodgers while we ate. Overall, great service and great pizza. Would definitely come back!

Excellent takeout pizza. Easy to order. Friendly service. Delicious and it made for epic leftovers. Got the everything. And will get it again.

4.3 rating Feeling a need for a good pizza . After searching Yelp I decided on frequent reviewed Billy Q . Decided on a thin crust half veggie with white sauce and half combo. And a Rueben sandwich with fries. This location is easy to find but there is construction going on hiding the front entrance . The pizza was tasty and flavorful with lots of toppings . The Rueben was stuffed and juicy ... a good choice . Nice staff and the food satisfied my craving . No wonder it's so popular with the locals .

Just another great experience. Super extra thin crust pizza, great wings, outstanding salads, and even excellent subs. Great staff, good service and cold beer. Plus, they're Cubs and Bears fans. It doesn't get better.

Food is good. One of the few places where I will eat pizza. It's not quite what I'm used to (NY) but it's fresh and tasty. Casual or take home

Super unique pizza. They had a variety on the menu that all looked interesting and try worthy. I ended up getting a split pizza with the Scooters and Cubano for my split. The dough was definitely good, but the toppings are what made it great. Decent service, ended up sitting outside and the staff was very nice but the table was a bit dirty (also was outdoors, so I wiped it down). Nothing that deterred me from enjoying the pizza and sunset. Was in the area for work, would come back again if nearby.

Great pizza! Always just the right amount of toppings, so the flavors meld together. Billy Q's is a "must" every time we're in Palm Desert. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

It's a small place, but they've got their system down pat! The servers were friendly and the food came quickly. The best part? It was delicious too! I got the Elaina Sliders and they were some of the best I've ever had! My youngest for the spaghetti and meatballs that came with cheesy garlic bread and she was in heaven, and my oldest and their grandpa split the Mikey's Meat Pizza and loved it There is something for everyone here! Stay and eat or take it to go!

My boyfriend and I spent his birthday week in Palm Springs and he saw this place and wanted to go. We both love pizza so it was a win win situation. We got there and it was busy and a cool vibe. There was baseball playing on the tv so we took a seat at a table. All the people working there were very nice and got us our drinks quickly. He ordered a Coke and I ordered a Dr. Pepper. We decided to share the meat madness pizza because they were quite large. It took a while for the pizza to come out but they were cooked to order which is always a good thing. We both really enjoyed the pizza and will definitely be back the next time we're in town. 11/10 for Billy Q's pizza!

The Supreme pizza on the menu is unequivocally that. Perfectly appointed and perfectly prepared.

Fresh ingredients. Nice option cauliflower crust. Unfortunately they don't deliver but worth the drive to pick up.

The Work's think crust pizza is probably the best pizza I have ever had! They are generous with toppings and overall a great combination!

Over-priced very average food. Dry meatballs and very much frozen style pizza. Get's orders wrong pretty consistently. Don't understand the hype or the prices. Go to solanos for a decent pizza.

Wow! Amazing food. My husband and I shared the classic sub sandwich. Delicious! It came with a side. We got the fries and they were hot and perfectly crispy. We also had a small pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Great flavor . The pizza was thin crust which we love. We will definitely be back. Thank you Billy Q's

Great big menu with much to choose from. The most delicious bread on my wonderful beef dip sandwich. Staff is warm and very accommodating. Vibe is "local Hole-in-the-wall Joint "

First off, the food was great. My boyfriend and I ordered sandwiches (Malibu Chicken sandwich and a Tuna Melt) and they were delicious and filling. Fries were tasty and the plain-tasting potato salad balanced out the flavorful tuna melt. Delicious comfort food. Service, however, could have been much better and more efficient. The guy serving us was gone for a long time after he quickly dropped off our drinks. He seemed to be really busy with the tables upfront (we were in the back) and it got to the point where I had to flag him down a few times to get him to come back and take our food order. He wasn't quick about it either and never apologized for making us wait so long. Meanwhile, a group who was sat after us and next to us got prompt, superb service from another server and that upset me greatly that my boyfriend and I were not given the same quality of service. I was livid, but still remained cordial. The group who got there after us got their food order in and their food well before us, and so they also left before us all happy and satisfied while we barely started eating our food. Their server? She was fantastic and ended up closing our check. We should have just had her the whole time, right?! Why didn't our original server just give us to her if he was too busy or overwhelmed? She was so friendly and accommodating to that party while we felt forgotten and not really welcomed. Our original server never came back to us, never checked on us, after he took our food order. The other server, she was so kind and thorough to offer me a to-go cup at the end, but I politely declined because I was just done and wanted to leave. Also, flies. Flies in the restaurant. Very off-putting. We still left a tip, but not as generous as we would have if we were given top-notch service.

Wanted some comfort food for a Friday night and BQs did not disappoint. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and a Malibu Chicken sandwich. The chicken sandy was tender, the Hawaiian bun is always a hit. The pizza was absolutely delicious, but a little salty for my taste (reason for the 4 vs 5). Will definitely be back.

Ordered a simple pepperoni pizza that probably sat all day as a cheese then pepperoni was added reheated and overcooked.

We were staying at the nearby Courtyard and needed lunch by the pool. Found Billy Q's on Yelp and it did not disappoint! Put in our order via phone and the pizza was ready in about 15min. We got the Combo, a pepperoni pizza, and the Antipasto salad. Pizza was piping hot and the combo had ground beef, which I like. The salad had lots of meat and peppers. They didn't have paper plates to go, but that's a minor detail. Better than average pizza.

The best bar-b-que chicken pizza I've ever tasted. It was a to go order, but food quality was still excellent and delicious! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Will return again and highly recommend to everyone.

As non residents on a Friday evening we had to keep our Friday night pizza routine alive even while in vacation. After doing an extensive YELP search we chose BILLY Q's for take out and was not steered wrong. We chose a vegetarian pie that was chock full of well prepared fresh veggies including even artichoke hearts. Love them. Took the option of a sour dough crust and that was thin crisp and delicious. Order that early as I was told that was the last of the sourdoughs for the night and it was only 6pm. Place was packed and our pie was out of the oven just as I arrived to pick it up. Highly recommend this Friday or any day of the week.

Best. Pizza. Ever!!! If you don't order the sourdough crust, you're missing out! Pillowy, delicious, AMAZING! Toppings are LOADED on! If you need a keto/gf option, the broccoli cheddar crust is also delish. Nice people, fast service, reasonable price point for the area and quality. We're from AZ, but have family in Corona, CA, so guess where we'll be stopping by every trip from now on?!? To loosely quote Ricky Bobby, "If you don't like Billy Q's, then f@#* you!" P.S. The onion rings were also outstanding, and the beer was ice cold!

Yelp does it again! We were looking for pizza and a salad while in PD for dinner and Billy Q's had stellar ratings so we ordered to go. We got pizza, salad and an Italian sub and every bite was delicious. We were hunggggry and smashed all three items with little left over. I highly recommend this place!

We're always looking for an easy + delicious place to stop in the desert when we're driving between phoenix and LA and we finally found it! Great pizza for the kiddos and yummy sandwiches for mom and dad. Got the chicken Caesar salad sandwich, it was fantastic. I'm guessing they bake their own bread for the sandwiches, it was a highlight of the meal. Caesar dressing was great with lots of garlic. Great fries with the sandwich. This place is right off the 10, by far our best meal in the area since we started making to drive. Ranch for the pizza tasted homemade as well!

I looked up pizza near me and i choose Billy Q's pizza, I told my husband that I seen a picture on yelp of the works pizza and it looked so good, my husband ordered the works pizza small because it was my husband and I, the Pizza came out and I grabbed a pizza and it was delicious all the ingredients worked well together and crust was good too, the guy that worked there was really nice, him and my husband were talking about sports he was a very nice guy, next time we're in town we will go back and try a different kind of pizza from Billy's, great job you must try the works pizza when you go there.

Excellent pizza place in Palm Desert! Was here with our tennis team and was lucky enough to find tables for our large group. Ordered a bunch of pizzas, salads, and sides and everything was delicious. They were extremely generous with the pizza toppings - they were so fresh and delicious! Excellent, fast service too!

Daughters and I stoped in before going to Christmas lights. Good service. Pizza was tasty and had antipasto salad Didn't knock my socks off. Friendly attentive service

Excellent pizza , and the staff were very fast , polite, hard workers in there , good job ! 6 or 8 guys working there , very busy for take out , not a big place , cheers to you guys !

Pros: Place was clean. Nice outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. Waitress was very nice. Cons: Reuben Sandwich with side of macaroni salad. Immediate reaction was the sandwich was very salty. Had to take a sip of water after each bite but according to one of the staffs, the level of saltiness was how they serve the Reuben sandwiches. Refused to finish the second half and wasn't worth bringing crappy food home. Mac salad was plain and flavorless. $17 worth of bad food. I've had a lot better Reuben sandwiches from fast food locations.

Had the broccoli & cheese crust pizza with pepperoni & onion. It was delicious! Hubs had reg crust. Both were excellent. Broccoli & cheese crust was GF, server (Caleb) & kitchen very aware of celiac precautions. Crust was thin & crispy. Toppings were also excellent! Tons of real cheese, sauce was good, perfect amount of toppings, pizza was loaded. Just the smell inside gets 5 stars. It's a bit far from home (GA) but if we are ever back in the area, we will be back. I'll be dreaming about this pizza!

This seems like my kind of pizza/sandwich/salad place. They have beer too. It Chicago Themed, which is ok even if they are in Dodger Town. I would for sure come back and try different sandwiches and pizzas. Their salads seem great, I heard from word of mouth from people in my small group that they would get the salads again.

I'm from San Diego and my wife and I were at a resort and we love pizza so we decided to give this place a try because of the high rating. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I ordered a personal pepperoni, sausage and mushroom personal pizza and I was disappointed. The price was $20.00 :0! That was shocking!!!! Additionally, the taste was just okay....it was over cooked and over priced. I won't be going back there.

Long day at the pool and nothing sounded better than pizza for dinner. Looked at Yelp for recs in the area and found this gem. We got two pies: ham and pineapple + sausage and pepperoni. We normally don't eat the crust but this was good that nothing went to waste. Will definitely go back next time we're hanging in the desert!

Small underrated establishment that shows its love and appreciation for Chicago sports. Friendly staff, assisting with great recommendations. If you don't try this place you're missing out on having a better tasting, more enjoyable meal. Give them a try if you live in or are visiting the area. 10/10

Two of us came in...I got the Lasagna. It was a bit of a wait (NOT FAST FOOD) for it but it was one of the best lasagnas I have had. It will fulfill any craving for Lasagna you might be having! Pleasant staff. Clean. Nice classic rock music but not too loud. We'll come back to try some other fare. My partner's Cobb salad looked fabulous and plenty of food!

When we visit Plam Desert , always eat the pizza here because it's delicious. Really fresh and yummy pizza and always friendly staff.

I first reviewed Billy Q's 10 years ago. At that time I lived in Palm Desert. After I moved away I continued to visit once/twice a year and over the last 10 years I can honestly say the quality, the taste, the atmosphere hasn't changed. I went again last night and ate in, awesome. Had fun. Food was great. Superb place. Highly, highly recommended. Just go, relax, and eat!! To Billy and Darnelle - your team continues to excel! Thanks. BTW: I miss the 312 beer

Simple little place in a strip mall. Interesting range of pizzas with unique toppings -- slightly better than the average pie, but quite expensive for the overall quantity and flavor. Service was impersonal and disappointing.

Delicious sour dough full veggie pizza we picked up for take out during our first visit. We will definitely return. Eating leftovers tonight which is why we purchased the large size for two people! Thank you for a lovely culinary experience for our Friday night pizza!

Billy Q's peeps I hope you read this! I have to give you a major shout out for your food. I've been coming to this valley for like nearly 20 years and it's rare to find sandwiches and pizza this fresh, flavorful and delicious. The Malibu Chicken Sandwich is so good I've been thinking about it for two days. And you can smell how good the pizza dough smells when you go in, so we ended up going back a couple of days later for pizza and it was fantastic. THERE IS A FNG BLT PIZZA with lettuce and tomato and mayo on it and WHY WAS THAT SO DANG GOOD? The Supreme is tops, too. High five yourselves. Way to go fam. Much love. 6 Stars.

Everything was great but it's just a very very casual restaurant. The waitress and staff were wonderful.

Really good stuff and cold beer. I love the pastrami sandwich and coleslaw. Definitely worth a visit.

Ordered pizza here to go on our last night in town as we needed to get to bed early. We were chosing between 5 different places and settled on this one. We got 2 small pizzas. "The Works Salami, pepperoni, ham, sausage, ground beef, onions, mushrooms, olives & peppers" and "Cristin's Ground beef & taco seasoning finished with tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, topped with mozzarella & a shot of HOT SAUCE!" Both pizzas were $17.50. My husband was stoked they had sourdough crust and he ordered that. We got the pizzas back to the hotel and his pizza did not have a sourdough crust that we could taste. It tasted like every other pizza crust on any pizza we had any where. His pizza had a lot of meat on it. My pizza was pretty underwhelming. The ground beef wasn't seasoned and to use mozzarella cheese was weird to me. Based on how these pizzas tasted I wouldn't come back here as there are a lot of other pizza places in the area to try.

The food and service was excellent. The gluten free pizza crust was really good. The only slight downside was that it's a little noisy when they are busy.

Taste good. I like the works Pizza and spaghetti. Good choice stop by in palm spring.

very good food. service quick and efficient. highly recommend the chicken wings. place is small for such a good pizza joint.

Best vegetable pizza I've ever had!! Bought it home to bake, it smelled so good within minutes in the oven?we couldn't wait!!! Did not disappoint! Delicious pizza.
