Pie for the People is a straightforward, no-frills pizza spot tucked along 29 Palms Highway in Yucca Valley, serving up fresh, generously topped pies that clearly appeal to locals and visitors heading to Joshua Tree National Park alike. This place leans heavily into takeout and delivery but is shaping up to be more inviting as the setting evolves.

The atmosphere matches the location—casual and approachable with a bit of that hole-in-the-wall charm. You won’t find a sprawling dining room here, but that suits the flow of traffic well, especially for those grabbing a quick lunch or dinner after outdoor adventures. It’s the kind of place where pizza quality takes the spotlight above all else. The dough is fresh, the vegetables and meats come loaded and thoughtfully prepared (think grilled bell peppers, caramelized onions, and whole roasted garlic), and the sauce is a particular highlight that has proven popular with kids and adults.

Many visitors appreciate the menu’s range—from classic meat lovers options to hearty vegetarian slices. For those who aren’t in a hurry, pizzas are made fresh on-demand, which sometimes means a bit of a wait, but there’s also a ready-to-go selection for a quicker grab-and-go experience. Families with young children seem to find a good home here, as the portion sizes and flavors keep even small appetites content and seated.

Pie for the People thrives on friendly, attentive service, whether you're ordering online for delivery or picking up from the counter. Its proximity to a major park entrance makes it a convenient stop for those timing their day outdoors, and locals value it as a reliable go-to for solid, satisfying pizza that won’t complicate your meal plans.

Best visits tend to be around lunch or early evening when you can swing by after a park excursion or during a casual night in the desert. Expect a bit of a line on busy days, but the overall pace is laid-back, and the essential focus is on quality slices delivered with a local, down-to-earth vibe.

Definitely feels like you entered a hole in the wall, and you can tell it’s set up for takeout but once they finish setting that space up it’ll be a great location, well it has a lot of potential! The pizza on the other hand, is really really good. I got the David Bowie and I highly recommend it. Incredible pizza and very nice and helpful staff

I placed an order online for 2 pizzas and some fries with chicken and cheese. I can't remember the name. But it was all amazing, my 4 yr old got her own pizza and hasn't moved from her table. She loves the big slices, and the sauce is her absolute favorite part. The delivery guy was very nice and handed over our food. I can say that we have found our new pizza place. Thanks guys!!

Great place for a delicious variety of vegetarian and meat lovers pizzas. Fresh dough,fresh ingredients and drinks. This place is super popular so expect to wait while they make it! Or get a big slice of over 6 different variety in their ready to heat showcase and dash away! Either way it's all good!

This is an easy 5-star food review! Highly recommended for lunch/dinner during a Joshua Tree National Park day, as it's near the West Park entrance. The toppings take center stage here, and they are WONDERFUL. The bell peppers are grilled, the onions are caramelized, the roasted garlic is whole fresh... on and on, read the menu. But the customer service put this over the top. I placed a custom order with instructions requesting an "extra crispy" crust. They delivered perfectly, and without extra charge. They were super cool about drinks and generous with condiments, too. Great people :) My girlfriend and I both ate this crunchy, oven-flamed pizza stuffed with exquisite toppings and a lovely white (Bianca) based sauce and our eyes POPPED Not too greasy, perfect. Can't wait to go back!

I just ordered 2 of the best damn pizzas in Yucca Valley. Pie for the People pizza is worth EVERY dollar. I have attached photos of my order, along with the receipt so you know exactly what I ordered. I am a life long customer as long as I live in Yucca Valley and they remain in operation. One last thing, YOU WILL NOT REGRET ORDERING FROM THERE. You have to try it at least once but once you do you will feel the same as I do. I LOOOOVE Pie for the People!

We are so delighted with our meal tonight! We got two small pizzas, the David Bowie and the Jonny Popper-- they were delicious!!! The flavors are an original blending of savory and sweet--it was wonderful! Ryon, the owner, is so kind and obviously loves his craft. He serves up pie at festivals and pop hopes all over the place. Hed definitely the type of business owner you want to support. We can't wait to eat here again!

The life by garlic pizza is now my new favorite! Garlic knots with the garlic olive oil drizzle(pretty sure that's what it was called) were absolutely amazing! I'm waiting to go back and try their wings next. They only have orders of a dozen or 2 dozen...I wasn't THAT hungry while there so it's on the wait list.
