The Planing Mill Artisan Pizzeria

Best pizza! Finally tried it and the pictures look as good as they taste. Will definitely be back, looking forward to trying the by the slice lunch special.

First time there, couldn’t have been any better. Started with the friendly service, then great food. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Fast service.

Fabulous pizza joint that offers a great selection of pizzas, as well as salads, sandwiches and more. I had their Pizza Margherita and added Canadian Bacon. It was wonderful, especially with the added cracked pepper they sprinkle on top. This was our first time here, and won’t be the last.

Don’t listen to Lu S. The pizza here is good and the crust is top notch. Make sure you try the Thai wings while you are here too. Lu S rated Pieology 5 stars. That place is a chain with mediocre pizza so she obviously doesn’t know good pizza.

Great pizza place. Ingredients are fresh and dough is great in my opinion. Might need a back up for ice. Last time we visited they ran out of ice. Other than that it was a pleasant experience!

Favorite pizza joint in the valley. My husband, and kiddo favor the Three little pigs pie. It comes with sausage, bacon, pulled pork, onion straws and bbq sauce. It’s damn near pizza perfection. I also adore the margarita pizza myself. The service is phenomenal! Servers are helpful, quick, and very friendly. I love to come when the central valley horror club has a free movie night on the back patio. The pizza is $ 10 all you can eat including soda, when this event takes place. Great atmosphere, better pizza!

Loved this place! We went here for the GF pizza. My husband also ordered a Calzone. They mistakenly topped our daughter’s pizza with the toppings my husband ordered for his Calzone. Our daughter didn’t seem bothered but they insisted on making her a new pizza and giving us the other for free. Pizza was delicious. Upon getting the bill, the restaurant also discounted our meal by 20% because we had to wait for the new pizza… WOW. Awesome customer service! Loved the back patio!!! Cute place. Will definitely go here again.

This place was recommended by a friend a few months ago and we finally went and were surprised. The pizza was good and cooked the correct amount of time. Then only bad thing that I will saw is the prices are to much. The only way that me and my family would ever return here is if we had a really good coupon or they drop their prices a good amount.

I love the atmosphere of the place and the people who work here are great. I frequently bring a group of 8 – 10 people with me at least once/​month to blow off steam from work. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful, the pizzas and appetizers are delicious, and the beer selections are great. I love the Funky Chicken pizza, personally, but I have not tasted a pizza I didn’t like here. Patio seating for good weather, and a cozy vibe inside. Great place!

This is a good restaurant if you like the independent type of place. The pizza is a real pie of pleasure. The bruschetta is a very good appetizer.
Tonight a large group was next to us and their friends were behind them most of the night. My wife and I had random butt cheeks in our space most of the dinner. The waitress did the best she could to control the group.
As many times as I have eaten here I’ve never figured out who is actually in charge of the restaurant. The staff do an amazing kid. I’m a regular and will be back.

The pizza here is wonderful. It has a thicker style crust with lots of fresh, quality ingredients. I really enjoy their garlic alfredo sauce on the pizza. They make really great wings. The Thai wings are probably one of the best. Also, the beer selection is always changing — which I love.
They used to make more sandwiches but I’ve noticed they started taking some off the menu (meatball, chicken parm, etc.). It’s too bad they’ve removed those sandwiches because my husband loved them.
I do have to add, they are extremely awesome about special orders. My friend asked if she could get the bruschetta with the toppings on a bed of spinach instead of bread (health reasons) and they were really great about it. The server was quick to say, «sure, no problem.» They brought her out a huge plate that was basically a giant salad and she loved it.

I ordered a large pizza on Unilocal.I’ve never ordered through Unilocal but I went in and picked it up no problem. I ordered a large craft your own pizza. It included garlic Alfredo sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni and pineapple. It was delicious. I have tried every pizza place you can imagine and this one beats them all! I highly recommend this place. Love the way the inside was decorated and everyone there was super helpful. I will definitely be coming here instead of Me n Eds from now on. The price is totally worth it!!!

I tried the Thai pizza and although it’s not my kind of taste, it was good! Id only order it if someone wanted that specifically. I definitely want to check out other combinations.
I give it three stars because I guess the table covers used to stapled to the bottom of the table and they aren’t anymore. Well… the staple got stuck on my finger and I felt a sharp poke and hear «poing» I look under and there’s a huge staple. Yes my finger bleeded and it was sore for three days! (Small cuts usually hurt the most!) Although the waitress brought a band aid and was nice she still had a «oh well» face.
If it was my business I’d bring a free slice of cake to cure that boo boo! Haha

Yet again another great meal at Planning Mill. They also have great lunch specials Monday-​Friday. I definitely recommend to anyone that wants great food or beer.

We were so excited to find this spot after recently moving to the area from the East Bay. There is so much history to the building. It’s exactly the kind of place you want to find in a city like Visalia.
The pizza is delicious. And so are the the wings and sandwiches. They have great daily specials. I will say that the menu is a bit meat-​heavy, but you can create your own combo. Our new favorite among the specialty pizzas is the Fiery Redhead!
They have a great craft beer tap list and they pull in many beers from around CA and beyond. The staff is always friendly and they do a lot of tap takeover nights with fun giveaways.
It’s not a huge location, but we’ve never had a problem getting a seat. It’s especially nice when you can sit outside. The only negative of this place is the single bathroom for both genders that only has outdoor access. I could see how this might be an issue on a busy night.
Overall, 5 stars. It’s our favorite pizza spot in town.

Came to this joint because of all the wonderful reviews. The place did not let us down.

Great spot a block NE of the movie theater. Pizza was awesome and the wings hit the spot. Caution, ‘Hot’ is hotter than your average wing chain, might want to start with mild for the first go.
Great beer selection, my wife and I like different styles and both styles were definately satisfied. Im a stout drinker, she likes ambers.
Atomsphere is great for a date pr a family, even a date at the bar was nice and relaxing.
Another thing to note is the food comes out FAST!
Great service and food takes 1^st place in date night options from pita kabob (prices keep increasing) for the downtown area.

Planing Mill serves the best pizza in town! Always fresh, very generous toppings and a great springy crust. The Thai pie is spicy but phenomenal. It is a must-​try pie! Good beer selection, we like that it’s constantly changing– and the owner is always friendly and eager to please. Nice atmosphere inside and patio seating outside– cool place all around. Highly recommended. My only request would be to bring back the caprese type sandwich for vegetarians like me, pretty please?
Keep up the great service and fun events.

The Planning Mill, what can I say… AWESOME! Went there for the 1^st time for an evening out. That all brick patio as you walk up is inviting with patio lights strung above.
Inside the bartender was friendly, offering up different samples of their locally brewed beers to taste. I opted for a red wine blend, they only serve beer and wine.
After sitting at and chatting it up at the bar, we made our way over to a table with some new friends.
I ordered the Millwork sandwich, it was definitely a treat for my tastebuds. I added some jalapeños for some heat, I love spicy food.
For a side we also had the Mad Mac (see the photo) very yummy!
We left there with our belly’s full and happy. I definitely recommend this place for a social gathering.

I had a chance to stop by on a Thursday night before a long drive home, and needed some pizza for the ride. My order was simple but required a 25-​minute wait (the price for fresh here), so I sat at the bar and got a single cider that I was pretty sure I wasn’t digging. It was made from marionberries, which — as a fan of the milder pear variety for this drink — was an unwelcome departure. But, that reflected poorly on my choice, not the Planning Mill. I liked their selection of local craft beers even if the one I tried didn’t turn out to be so great.
The pizza is what I came for, and I very much enjoyed this part of the experience. A simple margherita pizza is my MO, and it had just the right amount of cheese and tomatoes. Beware, deep dish or thick-​crust lovers… this is not the place for you. The pizza I got was more on the flatbread-​style side and chewy.
There seemed to be lots of kids around — another good reason for me to grab-​and-​go!
