• Pizza Bar • Palm Desert

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.

    Our Christmas dinner was our first visit to the Purple Room, and it was such an enjoyable experience from the jazz standards played by the quartet to the food and to the welcome we received. Kudos to the owner, who was the perfect host. The food offerings from the prix fixe menu catered for everyone's needs. I tasted my wife's vegan meal, and it was delicious as was my meal. So glad we reserved a seating, which made for a perfect end for Christmas and visit to Palm Springs.

    I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. It was delicious, properly made with romaine, real grilled chicken (still hot from the grill) and came with a quality house-made dressing. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Worth going back for more.

    We had an amazing dinner at Wildest, and I can't stop thinking about it! I opted for the Prime Rib special, which came with the most delicious Gruyere gratin potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans — a true comfort food win. I also tried a refreshing hibiscus margarita, which was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. We started with a grilled truffle Caesar salad that had just the right amount of richness and a tomato and burrito salad that was light and flavorful. Everything was prepared with such care, and the flavors were top-notch! Our server, Paige, was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful, attentive, and made our experience even more special. If you're in Palm Desert, Wildest is a must-visit — delicious food, great drinks, and top-tier service!
