"Really sad that I had to give this place 2 stars when it used to be our go to spot to watch the games and eat pizza on Sundays. Went today for the first time after holding out because of all the childish drama that unfolded on social media within the community that they serve and was so disappointed. All of the employees looked so confused like it was their first day on the job. The soda fountain had, I think, 2 working fountains but didn't have any ice. We ordered wings and jalapeño poppers to start... the wings came out in a decent time but the jalapeño poppers never showed up. Had to ask about them after waiting for 30 40 minutes. Once they came out, they were below average which is hard to do when it's just a frozen popper. A friend then ordered a side of fries and some wings... her fries came out but the wings never did. We had to ask about them and even after that, they had to be reminded again about them. The only thing that was okay was the pizza. It's not as good as it used to be but it was way better than all the other food. And last but not least; I have to assume this guy was the owner/highest employee he came into the restaurant with an entire Vons shopping cart (literally rolled it right into the restaurant as if he was still in the grocery store) full of soda cans and ice. And to top it all off, he was rocking a cigarette behind his ear. Super classy. I'm not saying this is or was a 5 star establishment but at least make it look like you care. Sucks but we won't be coming back again after today. Have been going since I was 8 but today killed it. Editing to add: the childish drama clearly has not passed because the owner can't even focus on his business even on yelp. If you read the portion of this page that the owner writes, he is still taking shots at whoever he thinks was stealing his business. So crazy. All of his old employees left for a reason and it seems pretty clear why they did."

I'm relieved to hear that you are finally closing! I hope the Oceanside location follows suit as well.

This restaurant really needs to improve. There's always some sort of drama going on, and the pizza was hit or miss. RT is definitely the better choice!

I visited yesterday (October 3, 2023), and the restaurant was closed. There were multiple signs on the door warning that trespassers would be prosecuted if they entered. Is this location permanently closed? It's best to verify before making the drive out there.

I found the pizza to be quite disappointing, and nearly all of the soda fountains were broken, leaving only two functioning. For my experience: I dined in for lunch and spent about $20-$30 per person. I would rate the food and service both at a 2, while the atmosphere deserves a 1. View menu

The pizza was delicious, but the service was lacking. I had a bad experience with pickup before, and today, my DoorDash order was completely ignored for 20 minutes. Both a DoorDash customer service representative and I attempted to call the restaurant, but they didn't answer, and their voicemail was full. Overall, not a great experience. Food: 5, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4.

We absolutely love Killer Pizza From Mars! From the first time we ordered it instantly became a family favorite. We always call our order in ahead of time and pick up our food to go. The staff has always been great and anytime there have been delays they've offered us a drink while we wait. My daughter loves the the inside with all the alien decor and loves playing the claw machines.

--- **Service: 2/5** The service at this restaurant left much to be desired. The staff seemed inattentive and slow to respond to our requests, which made our dining experience frustrating. **Atmosphere: 3/5** The atmosphere was decent but not particularly memorable. It had a standard setting, neither too inviting nor unwelcoming. While it was acceptable for a meal, it didn’t create a special ambiance. --- Feel free to let me know if you need anything else!

If I could give this spot zero stars I would. Food is disgusting and I found fruit flies and gray hairs in my pizza. One of the guys that helped me out was obviously on drugs and claimed to be the owner of the restaurant. One of the other older guys working was vaping in the kitchen while making food and at the register. This place is definitely not family friendly and I will never ever bring my family or kids here ever again. Do not support this disgusting poor excuse of a family restaurant .

Disappointed. So many good reviews, but when checking dates, non of them were very recent. My mistake. Soda machine was out of order still as other recent reviews stated. No or minimally functional air conditioning in the entire place. Order process seems like it was a bad day, between bouncing back and forth between in person customers and online ordering the process was painfully slow. Food forgot 1/2 our order, received the rest when we were ready to leave. Stoopid sticks were tasty, can't say the same of the pizza. Very doughy and chewy and not in a Chicago deep dish style doughy. Minimal sauce, minimal cheese, lots of bubbles in dough leaving bare bread with no toppings. Pepperoni had a...

"We had been talking about this place so much since our first visit we had to come back and this time bring my sons with us. Walked in to expect the same great food and service as before. The waitress or owner wasn't friendly at all, we asked for shakes and after seeing my kids shakes arrived I added one. For myself which she seemed bothered with and told me it would take a while, which of course was fine since we weren't in a hurry. My kids order tenders and fries and I order a burger. I wanted a simple burger and asked her which one she recommended if Since i only wanted an original burger with out bbq sauce or mushrooms which her menu stated the burgers had, she seemed so annoyed and said well it tells you right here( again it said bbq and mushrooms) I place my order, after that she seemed a little less upset and was more welcoming but by then she had already ruined my experience. Still we thanked her and were happy and figured she was just having a bad day, but after being rude to us and not welcoming she still added a 20% tip to our tab which any other time wouldn't have been a problem but today with that service, and not being told from the beginning that they add 20% for parties of 3 or more it wasn't worth it. The food was good and the kids loved the shakes but being that we were the only guest there and she was still upset, I can't imagine the service given on a busier day."
