Life's too short for tough choices - so we say, 'Have a Stuft Time!'
A Family-Run Tradition in the Desert
Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill has been a beloved desert staple since 2004 in La Quinta and 2014 in Palm Desert. Founded on a passion for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere, we celebrate over four decades of serving up mouthwatering pizza and more.
A Legacy of Quality and Flavor
Our story begins with Jack Bertram, who in 1976 opened the first Stuft Pizza in Cerritos, California. Driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, Jack perfected his pizza recipe, laying the foundation for the beloved brand we know today. This dedication to quality continues to guide us, ensuring each bite is an enjoyable one.
More Than Just Pizza
While our delicious pizza is a highlight, Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill offers something for everyone. Enjoy a handcrafted cocktail from our full bar, savor mouthwatering prime rib during our weekly Prime Rib Wednesday special, or catch a game with friends in our comfy atmosphere. Our expanded menu and full bar service provide a complete dining experience.
A Unique Local Experience
Unlike other franchise-owned Stuft Pizza locations, our Palm Desert and La Quinta restaurants are owned and operated by the Bertram family. This allows us to offer a truly unique and personalized experience for our guests. We take pride in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where locals can gather, enjoy great food, and create lasting memories.
