LouEddie's Pizza

Fantastic! Ohmygosh the pizzas were sooooo good! We ordered the pepperoni for the kids and the meatball mogul for us. Yum! Grabbed a couple drinks while we waited. The views down to the outside eating area was nice. The seats inside were cozy and front row views of the crew making the pizzas. Downstairs (from the outside) you'll find their super cute and cozy bar area. It's worth the wait and you will have to wait. Call it in if you don't have patience or just sit back and enjoy your surroundings. Such a great spot!

Definitely lives up to the hype. The pizzas were some of the best wood fired pizza I’ve ever had and the White Out Pizza was the best on the menu! We got there at about 7pm on a Saturday night first week of March. Wasn’t too busy but we waited about an hour for the pizzas at our table. There is a sign in the front that says “if you’re in a hurry you’re in the wrong place” so you should know what you’re in for after that. The downstairs saloon area has great atmosphere and it was cold so we ordered hot cider which was great. Unfortunately they’d run out of garlic knots which I was disappointed about so if you really want those go early in the day. You order at the counter and then find yourself a seat after that. So no reservations and you just line up. Good selection of alcoholic drinks and the food was great. It’s simple yet it works. You get disposable paper plates and cutlery so I’m assuming that helps when it’s busy. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. The outside area would be awesome in the summer!

What a hidden gem for delicious pizzas with some influence from Italy and other European countries. The wait time for their pizzas can range from 1-2 hours but it is definitely worth it. This restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful view and has an ambient setting (if you are dining inside). I recommend you try their signature pizza and white out pizza. They also sell their pizzas frozen so you can take some of those delicious pizzas home.

By far the best pizza my husband and I have ever tasted. They have an outdoor patio area and a lower-level indoor dining area with a full bar and great music. The service is exceptional. We live in the Los Angeles area, but LouEddies Pizza is worth every mile.

I was way overdue on a visit. Been here before but walked out because it was too busy. This outdoor seating area is exactly what you need. Being surrounded by the trees reminded me of Big Sur, beautiful. Service was so so. Now, here is the best part, the pizza! Today, they hit it out of the park! We got the LouEddie Pizza and Antipasto salad, but the salad was a little short on toppings. Anyhow, great spot to hang outdoors on a wooden deck under the trees. They do have music playing outside.

In a single sentence, delicious. When you have the opportunity to visit LouEddie, do it, there is a reason it is considered one of the best places to eat pizza and drink a local beer. Be clear that if you are in a hurry, go somewhere else.

Be patient, it's going to be worth it ! This place knows how to make thin crust (and not overly cooked) pizzas! The choice of toppings and sauces are great and well balanced. This place isn't about overloading ingredients on top of a boring fast made pizza dough, like you see in so many places and restaurants. This review also comes from someone who has been baking pizzas from scratch (dough / sauces etc..) for 10+ years at home, so I have learnt on appreciating true and real great pizzas.

Kyle the Bartender was super friendly, conversational, and gave the perfect chianti recommendation for our pizza. Pizza itself was delicious, had the Summer's Delight with white sauce + mushrooms, fantastic! Fresh ingredients, nothing was overpowering, and plenty of veggies. They charge extra for ranch, but nothing to cry home about. The atmosphere, however, was absolutely gorgeous. You are nestled amongst the evergreens with a patio built around the forest rather than through it. No surprise they do weddings here.

Great place, though not much parking at all, and be careful if you park across the highway, as some folks come flying by! Very friendly staff taking orders and we definitely appreciated that they said how long it would be for our pizzas to be ready. Short answer: you will have to wait. The bartender was great, and thanks to a little alcohol, the wait was not that bad for us. We had the green salad for our group and they were brought quite quickly. The pizzas when they arrived were good though the crusts were a little thin toward the center of the pizzas. I loved the traditional Hawaiian pizza and the "deluxe" one as well. This was recommended to us and I definitely agree it was very good indeed!

Good pizza at decent prices but waiting time is gnarly. They do warn you ahead of time. We ordered 6 pizzas and it took about 1.5 hours to come out. The pizza is a thin crust and made with fresh ingredients. While I found it good, the toppings were moving around and sliding off because the pizza was so thin. Regardless, they have a nice selection of premade options or a build your own option. Seating is plentiful since it does get packed. There is spacious outdoor seating which is beautifully located in the mountain trees.

Pretty good thin crust pizza but on the pricey side for the size. Crust was very good and tasted fresh. Good topping selection and nice specialty pizzas to choose from. You order and pay upstairs and receive a number then get your food brought to your table. When paying was happy to give a tip as was suggested by the gentleman behind the counter. We ordered a total of 3 pizzas including Pepperoni, Deer Meadow (Pesto Sauce, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Roasted Bell Peppers, Caramelized Onions) and Maui Waui (White Sauce, Mozzarella, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, Fresh Jalapenos) which were all solid. Sitting outside on the deck below was lovely. However, when the first pizza arrived, we asked for some napkins but the server told us they are available upstairs and we are to get napkins there. Felt disappointed to have left a tip. The young man could easily have brought down some napkins with the 2 other pizzas. It's the little things. Perhaps the act of tipping in advance reduces the desire for the staff to provide great service... Bottom line, if you're in Skyforest and jonesing for pizza, you won't be disappointed by the taste.

All I can say is :their summer delite is so good. The other pizzas are good too but I love the summer delite. We ordered and picked it up from the resto and we were there during the last week of March. It was very foggy that it got to the point that we can't see the road . The resto looked nice and wished we ate there. I highly recommend this place

Spent the weekend up in lake arrowhead and one of my friends recommended we go to LouEddie's pizza. I'm so thankful that we tried it! Their pizza is incredibly tasty and the Greek salad was also equally delicious. It was a cold, rainy day when we picked up our food, so we went downstairs to the cozy bar area to grab a beer. Great vibe and super cute ambiance. Bartender was super sweet and overall we can't wait to come back when we're in the mountains again!

Be prepared for a two hour wait. Most people order their pizza and just come back later. We really wanted to give it a try so we ordered and came back 2 hours later. Got the margarita and the Lou Special, they were good, I'm just not too sure about the 2 hour wait time... but they do have a sign that says something like.. if you're in a rush, this isn't the right place for you. Love the honesty. We really like the atmosphere, very warm and welcoming. There seemed to be a lot of locals. The drive up there is very dangerous tho, not sure how people do it. We were in town on vacation for the weekend and it was super foggy and dark driving up to get our pizza. I totally regretted it. I would never drive there at night again. Back to the pizza! Everyone liked it, but they are very busy so be prepared to wait. I love supporting small food businesses like these!!!

Walked in right before closing and they were still pumping out pies like crazy. All the staff were so nice and helpful. We got the LouEddie's special and it was great. Such a great experience and such an kickass space.

10 of 10 would recommend! Passion in pie is the first thing I think of when you visit LouEddies! When you walk in you see a small space with a couple tables, the pizza over and prep station right in view and you can see the magic happen. Everyone working had true passion behind every movement and you can see it when the product was delivered. Place your order and grab your number and you can sit inside or head to the lower level including a bar seating area, an outdoor patio and a garden area. Every pizza one size and every pizza unique and delicious! The Baja Fiesta is hands down the best pizza I've ever eaten with chorizo, a chipotle sauce, roasted peppers the combo was beyond stimulating but not over powering! I can and will be back to order a whole pie just for myself. This place brings about community through food and you can see it with the small things written on the walls and the smiles shared throughout!

Be very careful when parking here!!! It's dangerous to back up to go back on the road. Came here for food after a long day in big bear. It was a very long wait for 3 pizzas and a salad, about an hour wait but there was a lot of people. The salad was very good, not sure what sauce they used but really liked it. The pizzas were good, the best part about it was the thin crust. If the wait isn't long, worth a stop here.

Small intimate and unique. Great tasty pizza! Live music. Cozy Ambiance. Friendly staff.

So good! They don't do delivery but it's worth the drive! They lave lots of interesting flavors and the toppings are plentiful and fresh. Crust is crispy, which is a must for me. We tried the LouEddies special, the Yard Sale, the Baja Fiesta and the Beginners Run. The Baja Fiesta may be my favorite, though all were good! Overall an excellent choice for Pizza in the area. Would definitely recommend! Stay Cheerful

Great pizza! We decided to try the LouEddie's special and added jalapeños because we need the spice. It was refreshingly good. After a nice hike we felt the pizza was a perfect size and the fresh ingredients made it light. We didn't feel bloated. Took home a Calzone because we had to try it. That was delicious! Service is great. Staff are friendly and sociable. Enjoyed the pizza in their back patio. It was great atmosphere so I had to top it off with a beer. Definitely will be back!

Yumm! Came up for a mountain trip and heard a lot of great things from here! Outside they have a good amount of parking and they have two floors! They have an upstairs and downstairs which is a bar! Inside its very cozy and has a couple of tables. Be prepared to wait as they make the pizza fresh and made to order! Our wait was about an hour after ordering the pizza! It was a delicious pizza, it was cooked to perfection with the cheese still gooey and stringy! Definitely a must go if you're in the area!

Pretty damn good pizza. I highly recommend the hot rocket pie. I would drive back just for this! We called in our order around 11:50 am on a Saturday and arrived at about 12:30pm. Our food just finished cooking as we walked in to pay. Prices were slightly high but not unexpected, service was good, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Water and water cups available downstairs. Bathroom was clean. Definitely a perfect first stop before venturing through Lake Arrowhead.

Food was great Dog friendly that's a PLUS Great seating and love that they had heaters outside because it gets cold . The customer service was great our first time there I love how cozy it feels the parking is limited so just be mindful

WHAT A CUTE PLACE!! i heard from my boyfriend that this restaurant in the area has the best pizza. i love pizza and happened to be craving so i made a small suggestion and we ended up here! we got a beginners run (pepperoni pizza) and an order of garlic knots. the pizza was sooooo good. the sauce was perfectly seasoned and flavored and the bread was nicely chewy. the pepperoni had a wonderful smoky meaty flavor. the quality of ingredients was simply superb. the restaurant is quite small, but is so nice to look at, and the staff were amazing on the phone and in person. we stopped in to pickup a phone order and were out quickly. what a fantastic visit. everything was divine and i will for sure be back to enjoy once again. if you're thinking of stopping in, i recommend! but be warned, locals say it gets quite busy, and the parking situation is not very good.

The pizza is worth the hype! I came here after seeing it on Instagram or some thing. I need to check places out when they have really good or really bad reviews just to see if the business is getting a fair shake. it has a really good location even if it's right off the road which can make parking and pulling out a little TTS. It's attached to a lodge which looks incredible! There is an upstairs and a downstairs! The view is very cool the vibe is amazing. The people are very nice upstairs and the music is very good downstairs. there is wine and cider and a few other items downstairs and the pizza is ordered to go or to eat there. You can sit outside which is absolutely breathtaking. Even though you don't get a complete clear view the trees are massive and gorgeous. It just gives you a vibe of treehouse and mountain experience. I got the pepperoni pizza because I wasn't sure if it was going to be good or not for sure otherwise I probably would've opted for a make your own. Here's where I was blown away! They have real crust in the proper way of making it which is nice and thin in Italian. So the flavor is fantastic. The cheese is delicious. Here's where it got very good! the pepperoni that they use is big and for some reason whatever they do it was not dripping oil all over the place. That's probably one of the biggest reasons I don't typically get pepperoni pizzas because it's overly oily and it usually ruins the crust and the bottom of the pizza. The oil can be overwhelming and sometimes the pepperoni doesn't have the best flavor. I almost ate the whole pizza right there I had to refrain it was delicious! It was not oily and the flavors were popping! they were really great and very accommodating. Downstairs I had a Moscato and a hot apple cider. I think the hot apple cider stole the show! It's homemade and fresh! This would be an epic date spot and I don't usually use that word very often! Can't beat Jim Morrison playing on the speakers or the conversation from the employees. It's so nice to be around communicative and well mannered people. Definitely going to be on my list of favorite places up here! Stay tuned for more

It's been awhile since I been here before covid shut down. I ordered the Lou Eddie signature Pizza and large salad. Salad was fresh and crispy. The pizza was a very salty.

By far the best pizza my husband and I have ever tasted. They have an outdoor patio area and a lower-level indoor dining area with a full bar and great music. The service is exceptional. We live in the Los Angeles area, but this restaurant is worth every mile. The restaurant's patio is dog-friendly.

This was a good spot compared to any other eatery in the area. Fresh ingredients and crust was just perfect and tasted Delicious. Highly recommend if your in the area.

Really good pizza and friendly staff. I've heard this place can get very busy and backed up - they even told us that if you come on the weekend you might wait up to two hours for your order, but we showed up on a snowy, cold weeknight and our pizza went right in the oven and was on our table in 10 minutes. The Mad Greek is one hella good pizza with excellent quality ingredients. We liked it so much that we had it two nights in a row. There aren't a lot of good restaurants to choose from in the area, but eating here isn't "settling for what's available". This pizza place holds its own and would continue to thrive even if there were other good restaurants nearby.

What is it about such Damn good pizza in the Mountains? Maybe it's the altitude... Maybe their secret ingredient is the snow in the winter... And a little bit of sunshine in the summer. But whatever it is, LouEddie's Pizza deserves Every. Single. 5. Star. Review. And I'm about to throw down another one! This past weekend, we took a family trip to Skyforest, which is nestled in between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear. Friday was our travel day so we decided after we unpacked all of the suit cases and the kitchen sink my wife decided to pack, that a pizza, a nice hearty salad and a nice glass of red wine was just what we needed. Since we had a large group of 12 in our cabin which were mainly kids, we decided it might not be a great idea to haul everyone out in the cold to a restaurant to try and fit us all in. So my sister in-law and I decided we would go, grab the food and bring it back. We called ahead of time and we're told the wait would be about an hour and a half, so we decided once our order was placed that we would go grab groceries to kill some time. After some time past, we went to LouEddies to check on the status. They said about 45 more minutes and that we were welcome to check out their saloon bar which was located down the steps. Saloon? Bar?? Enough said sir! Take your time on those pizza's, we will go check out the bar! So my sister in-law and I went to the bar and had a little adult bevvie while we waited. The saloon bar is a cool space, the girl behind the bar was sweet, and it made the remaining wait painless. Once we finished our drinks, we went upstairs, grabbed our 3 pizzas, Greek salad and headed back to the cabin. Before I could even dare take a photo of their amazing pizzas... the 19 kids swooped in on the pizzas and there went my Yelp photo. So I took my chance and grabbed the salad before it was too late and snapped my pic. Bottom line, the pizza was worth every single minute of the wait. The salad, it's toppings and the dressing were 100 percent on point. All I can say is this... LouEddie your pizza made all 12 people in our cabin very, very Happy! We will absolutely come back if we come to Sky Forest and I recommend you do the same.

Pizza was Pretty Good, not a lot of toppings. A little pricey, Especially for the weight and size of the pizza, but crust, and flavor was Good.! Fast and Friendly Service.! Cute little place.

LouEddies Pizza has completely redefined my pizza standards. Their pizzas boast an unrivaled homemade taste that transports me to Italy with every bite. The crust is truly outstanding - perfectly crispy on the outside yet wonderfully tender on the inside. Each ingredient sings with freshness and flavor, creating a symphony of taste that leaves me craving more. While the pizzas are undeniably worth the wait, it's wise to plan ahead and call at least an hour to two hours in advance. Trust me, the anticipation only adds to the satisfaction when that piping hot masterpiece is ready. LouEddies Pizza has become my Lake Arrowhead go-to spot for a culinary adventure that never disappoints. Simply put, if you're seeking pizza perfection, look no further than LouEddies."

The best pizza in Lake Arrowhead! LouEddie's special is my favorite. I was so happy that they started selling their frozen pizza at the Blue Jay Jensen's.

We ordered the White Out pizza and it was tasty. Mild but delicious. We also got the Greek salad which was very good. The Greek dressing was very balanced and slightly sweet. It was very good. The garlic knits were good, but the rice seemed a little steep for only 2 knots. You order inside and go find a seat inside or outside. The deck seating is nice and has a nice ambiance.

We got the LouEddie's special and Maui Waui which were both delicous. Ambiance inside and outside, immaculate; even on a rainy day. Everyone working was super friendly. Would drive 1.5 hrs again to just get this pizza.

Love this place! They have the best pizza and the ambiance of being in the woods is a plus! We will always return when we are near Lake Arrowhead

Amazing..... Is an amazing spot and pizza is to die for... Flavors just perfect.. Was our 3rd time there and was great like the other times. One of our new favorite places. Thank you to all the staff. Service is great as well.

Best pizza on the mountain. Wait is insane-- 2 hours in the evening, only because the food is that good. Their salads are amazing. Love the house dressing, should be bottled. Try the vanilla beer with whipped cream, the deer meadow pizza, the supreme, and everything else. Literally, all good. The down stairs bar is adorable, perfectly mountain cozy, and the outdoor seating during the summer is divine.

Love this place! Wish the pizza was a little thicker but the restaurant is a total vibe.

Cozy spot. Good beer. Good pizza. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. This pizza snob would return.

BEST PIZZA I EVER HAD !! i just wish the place had more seating . the wait time is long depending on what time you go but it's worth the wait for sure !

To quote one of my favorite bands The Descendants: "...Get out of my way, or I'll eat you I like food, food tastes good! I like food, food tastes good! I'm gonna turn dining back into eating I like food, food tastes good! I like food, food tastes good!" Pizza was really delicious, location is super cool. We will visit again when we visit Lake Arrowhead in thr future.

Decided to stop by for lunch based on the garlic knots photos and reviews, of course... parking isn't the greatest if they're busy so be prepared for that. We walked in and of course the first thing they said was that they were out of garlic knots for the day... so that was awesome We ordered a Maui Waui pizza and a Caesar salad to split and then went downstairs and outside to their seating area and waited for about 45 minutes for our food. The salad was decent, but the pizza was definitely tasty... the entire scenery and location was really nice overall... but you probably shouldn't run out of one of your most popular items by 1 PM...

Drove a very long distance just to try this place, a family member recommended this place and my husband and I figured to finally make our way out to lake arrowhead. On the way over we tried calling them over 10 times and they only answered once and left us on hold then left the phone open to no response but to only hang up on us, we tried calling ahead to order since we had our kid with us and drove over 3 hours to get there, we were definitely hungry. Upon arrival parking was difficult but we got lucky the second time around. It's a cute place but the staff is a bit cold so didn't feel very welcoming. The pizza was not good, we ordered a meatball one. Zero flavor there was nothing special about then this other one with vegetables and that was also just ok. Honestly we will not be coming back and I wouldn't recommend this place. There's literally nothing special this pizza.

Worth the Wait! We made the mistake of not ordering ahead even though we know how in demand this place is. But we hung out in the brewery space and played some cards. This pizza is WORTH THE WAIT! You know it's good when people count down 5-4-3-2-1 for the pizza to be delivered. Small and intimate, unassuming with BiG Bold Flavors. We tried the Baja Fiesta this time, holy cow! So friggin good! We love our pepperoni but this took our palettes to another world! Love coming here and showing our friends the deliciousness. Also the Amber Ale is great!

Best pizza on the mountain. My family and I just went to Lake Arrowhead over the weekend and every time we do we make it a point to order from LouEddies. Great choice and fresh pies! They are very busy so if you try calling they probably won't answer. We usually go in and order to go. It's a small shop but very tasty. We ordered pepperoni and sausage and it was delicious.

I'm the kind of pizza eater who loves a doughy/chewy crust. This pizza is more of a crunchy crust, which is not exactly my jam, but I get that everybody's different. The pizza itself is very delicious. We also ordered 2 different salads (Caesar and Greek), and those were great too. The dessert pizza was fine. It's marketed as a giant chocolate chip cookie, but it's more like cookie crumbles on pizza dough. This place gets crazy busy and super loud, so I definitely suggest ordering ahead.

OMG the best pizza ever!!!! Such a cute little find in Lake Arrowhead. The pizza was very flavorful.

The best pizza on the mountain and anywhere around. Been coming here for years. You really can't pick a bad pizza - they are all outstanding. In the warmer months the patio outside is a great way to enjoy the pizza, a cold beer and listen to the live music under the pine trees. If you are on the mountain, this is a must stop. But, plan ahead because it gets really busy at dinner time.

Hands down one of the BEST pizzas I've ever had! We cannot recommend this place enough. TIP: if you're in a hurry, go somewhere else. They make every pizza by hand and anything this wonderful takes time. Usually a 45-90 min wait; so if you know you want to eat by a certain time - ORDER AHEAD. Trust me, it's worth it 100%! I perhaps ate an entire pizza by myself in 1 sitting. Did I have to roll myself out? Yes. Was it an amazing experience? For sure, haha. So if you're vacationing nearby or passing through - call ahead, order, enjoy!

This is honestly one the best pizzas I've had in Cali. Reminded us of the New York pizzas. Soo delicious and flavorful. The restaurant itself is so cute too! If it weren't for the cold the outdoor seating area would have been perfect. There's great views & they do have heaters which kept us a little warm but decided to eat inside since we have a baby. The wait time was crazy but honestly worth it. The lady downstairs making drinks was very sweet. Hate that it's not as close to us! Looking forward to going back to Lake Arrowhead just for this pizza and The Villager lol

I was really excited to try out the pizzas as supposedly it was Zagat rated years ago, but the pizza is not worth the hype, especially if you're from NYC/NJ where you can get great pizza. It's nothing special and I've definitely had better pizza elsewhere. We ordered the Dear Meadow, Tuscan Chicken, Beginner's Run, and WhiteOut pizzas. The crust was crispy and the toppings were fresh. My least favorite was the Tuscan Chicken pizza. There's' too much going on. There's no reason why Honey Mustard should be on the Tuscan Chicken pizza. The pizza would have tasted much better without it. 2nd least favorite was the Dear Meadow. While I love pesto sauce, it was just a bit too much on the pizza. It didn't taste bad, but just not my preference. The Beginner's Run was a classic pepperoni pie. It was good; nothing special though. My favorite was the Whiteout pizza. No complaints here. It was absolutely delicious and would order this one again. We also ordered the cannolis. The cannoli filling was tasteless - probably the blandest cannolis we've ever had. Would I order from them again? Perhaps. The pizzas are not worth the 1-2 hour wait though.

We came to LouEddies at the suggestion of a friend, and it did NOT disappoint! The pizza is thin and delicious, just like NY style pizza pie. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a salad and ended up ordering a second pizza because it was that good We ordered a few cannolis to go and they were delicious! Not gonna lie I would've gone back to this restaurant a second time but we wanted to try new spots around town. But if you're looking for a cute pizza spot with a mountain feel this is the place!

The place is easy to miss, and I wish there were more tables down in the "speakeasy" portion. But the food and service are incredible.

Ordered LouEddies special and antipasto salad. 4 star for a mountain pie. 3.5 overall. I prefer a crispier slice, the middle is pretty soggy. We added jalapeños, pepperoncini would have been better. Salad was tasty and fresh. Service was pretty straightforward, no small talk. Outdoor seating is nice, playlist is great. Definitely an upgrade from the village spot.

Pizza was not bad! It was a little bit pricey for what we got but what can you expect for a place in the mountains? The bbq chicken pizza tasted great with hot honey!

We drove an extra 50 minutes to try this pizza on our way to Big Bear. I Can tell you, It's totally worth it. We only got to try to pies but as we sat there and watch them make a verity of pizzas. I will have to go back. Service was great and they were friendly and helpful.

Came here for takeout Thanksgiving weekend on Friday night. It was packed and super busy. We got there at 7:30 to order and waited until 9:30. Honestly, wait wasn't too bad. We waited in the seating area downstairs with a drink. Super cozy, cabin vibes. Pizza was delicious. We got the summer delite and LouEddie's special, both were packed with toppings. Really great artisanal pizza in the mountains! Definitely coming back next time I'm in the mountains!
