I eat here all the time. The pizza is awesome and the sandwiches (burgers, pulled pork, chicken) are delicious. Not to mention you can wash down your meal with a tasty beverage of your choice. When it's warm the patio is real nice, and the vibes are good. The staff is rad as well and in my opinion the service has been consistently excellent. If you're on Highway 12 looking for a place to eat I doubt you'll regret stopping at Palooza. Additionally I might add that every appetizer and special menu item we've tried is bomb as well.

This place is awesome, great food, great service great atmosphere and fantastic menu. There is something for everyone, carnivores, vegan and vegetarian. Wife had the French dip and garlic fries, son had the burger and fries and a local beer and I had the fish and fry and truffle fries and a local beer. Our waiter, sorry I missed his name but was super friendly, menu knowledgeable and always made sure we were taken care of. Place was clean, easy to talk and have a conversation, tables were cleared quickly and the wait was minimal. Nice patio and indoor dining. Plenty of parking and easy in and out unlike most of the area. We will definitely be back.

Food was amazing, great portions with reasonable prices! Ordered a house margarita (which was perfect), the ahi tuna nachos are a must, my boyfriend loved the fried pickles, and the smash burger was delicious! Habanero chicken wings were good with just the right amount of spice. Service was great and they're dog friendly! Will definitely return!

To start with, I am a little biased. The first time that I ate here, it was by accident, and it was with the woman who would become my wife. For this reason and countless others from other visits, I find this restaurant to be magical. Some less romantic reasons: the Palooza Burger is out of this world, the truffle fries are perfect, and the service has been and continues to be at the very highest level. The ambiance is warm with California rustic touches and when you are sitting down to eat, you feel transported comfortably. They also have a great selection of local beers and wines which will elevate your meal. I should also mention that they have an authentic pizza oven which they use very well. How can I give less than five stars?

i live close by and seldom come, I really should come more often. Excellent service and loved the pizza! Lovely outdoor area and inside too. Just wish they would bring back the "Oakmont Neighbor" specials nites. Highly recommended though.

Food: delicious!!! Really great burger - maybe one of the best. I'm also a French fry enthusiast and they are amazing!!! Pizza is dang good. Had the falafel plate and was delicious. My only complaint on this was the hummus was a little dry. It needed more olive oil. We are here twice while in Kenwood and enjoyed everything we ate. OH!!! The bread pudding is sooooo good. Service: if you want the best server in the place look up!!! Hank was our server and he was one of the nicest people we've ever met, but also one of the tallest!!! Holy man, his mamma made sure he had his Wheaties!! Ambiance: great indoor/outdoor seating. The pizza oven is out on the patio and a fun place to sit and watch them cook. Really enjoyed this place during our stay and recommend to anyone looking for a great place to chill with a low maintenance dinner.

"That was no patty, that was fresh chicken" Palooza is a great stop between vineyards for a fulfilling meal! Their menu ranges from salads to tacos to pizzas to handhelds- all made with fresh local ingredients! If you're planning on visiting the Kenwood area, I would definitely recommend stopping!
