Selma's is a great stop if you're a pizza fan. I grew up going to BJ's regularly and was told this is their "sister company" or founded by the same people. That was very accurate -- food and experience is very similar to that of BJ's if you've ever been. Nice thing about this place is you can pretty much always walk in and get a table immediately. Parking is a little tough though. I love the deep dish pizzas and you can never go wrong with a pazookie for dessert.

Whew! I'm just hoping it was a bad night over there but some major mistakes were made. We were celebrating a birthday, and I requested a birthday song, of course to be compensated with a large tip, and the staff agreed. Didn't get a birthday song.Then, because the dinner was my treat, I gave my card to the server and said to charge the whole bill for our table onto my card. I triple checked that she understood what table it was for. When it came time to pay, they brought over the check, only with no card in sight. When I asked she said she got confused and thought it was for a much larger party completely separate from ours. When we asked for to go packaging, she again messed up and gave it to the party she assigned my card to. Took an additional 15 minutes for my card to be located, for the to go boxes to be delivered, and no sorry or anything apologetic wise. Not only was it an issue with her, but because I also made it very clear who was paying to the host and other servers to make sure that nothing went wrong, it was the whole team tonight that messed up. So essentially, my card was misplaced and put in the tab of another party, no birthday song, after the card incident was fixed, they repeated it with to go boxing, and over all, none of this should have happened in the first place because I made it ever so clear what was to happen!The food was fine, came out late and cold because for whatever reason they decided to wait to serve it until everything was ready, allowing for the already ready food to cool. Big no no's that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Will not be coming back.

FOOD TASTE WAS DELICIOUS. SERVICE WAS FRIENDLY. THE RESTROOMS WERE CLEAN.THE PRICES ARE THE NORM THESE DAYS.The one comment is the serving size of only a half of a sandwich which was not advertised as such with a side of chips was not excepted for the price. Charge $2 more and serve a full sandwich. You could save money by not serving so many pickles as a side.

Dino our server was the man! We came in on the way home from San Diego. It seemed slow so we walked in and took our pick at a table. This is our second time here. And it did not disappoint. Dino offered me a few options on beer and let me taste a couple samples. After taste testing, I went with Oktoberfest Pilsner I believe. It was delicious in a tall cold 22oz glass. YummmmWe ordered a 24 piece wings to share with the kids. 1/2 bone in. 1/2 boneless. Honey sriracha and sweet bbq. Both were delicious. I am not a fan of boneless wings but these were on point. So crispy and not soggy. Flavors were both on point. We ordered a large deep dish pizza pie 1/2 bbq chicken and 1/3 pepperoni and sausage. The only thing I would change is the tomato's. WillLeave out next time. My son said do I get the free cookie and ice cream again. He remembered. So I checked in and he got it! I can't believe this place has been so slow both times we've been here in the weekends. I'm not complaining, I love that we can get in and sit right away and not have to wait. As good as this place is, I would expect it to be packed. They deserve lots more customers here. Don't sleep on Selma's. Really good pizza and wings. And beer!!!! Highly recommend. When in the area - Will be back to try the Chicago style. Can't wait

Found this place and really enjoyed our visit. Had a M-F special lunch deal (half sandwich n salad and not to forget a taste of their homemade chips included) and a gluten free pizza. I have to say that was one of the best GF crusts. It wasn't like cardboard n and had great flavor. Everything ordered was portions generous. Loved the decor n service friendly.

Off the bat, sorry. We were so hungry and the food look so good. The pictures are not of full plates. The Parmesan wings were so tasty. It had a buttery, Parmesan taste. It was cooked to perfection. The Chicago pizza was excellent. The pizza is smothered in marinara sauce. The Italian sausage was great. The pizza is layered in pepperoni, and yes the cheese is under the sauce. We did order a chicken salad they I did not take a picture of. That was delicious and refreshing. Fill with fresh cooked chicken, creamy avocado, and blue berries. The service was outstanding! The waiter was so polite and cheerful. He checked on us quite often. The ambiance is casual. I came during the day so it was not busy. They have seating for inside and outside. There is also a full bar. They have a great selection of beers. I will definitely come back.

As VH and I were strolling around San Juan Capistrano, it was getting close to dinner time.We stumbled upon Selma's, which had a decent crowd for a relatively new place--a promising sign!The hostess was wonderful--friendly and full of energy. Unfortunately, our waitress was a bit lackluster, with little personality or enthusiasm.Overall, though, our experience was just "okay." The pizza looked fantastic, with plenty of toppings, but it fell short in one crucial area: flavor.Overall rating: 2 1/2 Stars (Rounding up)Food: 2Ambiance: 3Service: 3-Value: 2

We a group of 5 went in for lunch on Thursday around 3 and sadly they were short staffed as many companies are this New Years / Christmas week due to holiday vacations etc .The nice girl sat us down and James came over and took our order for drinks and food . He did recommend the delicious French fries as an app as we had 2 little children with us and they didn't disappoint- they were served with ketchup and ranch ( YUMMY ). There was enough fries for sharing but not enough for 5 . What was disappointing was we received our fries at the same time we received our Pizza which was not what what we wanted , right ? Either was the pizza and fries didn't disappoint. We ordered the regular crust this time - pepperoni and mushroom as well as tomato- It was delicious and not greasy . The price is fair and the med pizza was enough for 3 adults - women to have 2 pieces each and for one piece to be taken as left over . The kids got a small kids pizza / pepperoni and the other half only cheese . It was a very thin crust mini Version for kids . We sat inside the dining room as it was a cool CA day in San Juan around 60 degrees - it offered a street view and TV's for viewing . They have two bathrooms still Female / Male - one day soon we all will lose that so unisex bathrooms possibly. Well thank you James for being so helpful to our table of 5. We will be back to try those Garlic fries you were telling us about.Happy New Year !!

Outstanding is how I'm starting this review. Came to town to eat at another place and that was too crowded so we decided on pizza. And let me tell you, best decision for the day.We walked in and were greeted by a cpl very nice girls. Told them that we were waiting for two more people. No worries, asked if we wanted anything to drink or an appetizer while we wait. And she quickly said that they had FRESH clam chowder. We decided to share a beer and a bowl of clam chowder. Also got waters. The beer was refreshing. Of course , draft beer always is. The clam chowder was probably the best we've ever had. Didn't need to add salt or pepper. Just flat out delicious. And even the water was good. Didn't taste like tap.We ended up ordering a White Sox deep dish, Santa margarita deep dish & a Sam-Zone calzone with Italian sausage. Our kids also added on a Cesar salad and another bowl of clam chowder. Everything was cooked to perfection. The taste was... well let's just say that it was hard to stop eating. Presentation was spot on. We got mediums and ended up bringing half of each pizza home and a 1/4 of the Sam-Zone.Service was really good. Wasn't very busy but she still did a good job.Will defiantly make the drive from Oceanside to eat here again.

Came here with the family over the weekend. A must stop if your in the area and craving some pizza. The place is located nicely in a corner street in downtown San Juan Cap. RIght down the way from the metro station. So they have a goods kids menu. Our kids ordered a pepperoni pizza and an alfredo pasta. Good portions at $9 bucks..I had a med "works" pizza, deep dish style. Came with a wide array of toppings, and the crust was nice and crispy. Better than any BJ's pizza i ever had for sure. My wife tried one of there wraps. She stated if was very good. Nice size portions. We took some pizza and half her wrap to go.The service was top notch, and place was very clean. Loved the water feature they had inside which was different.A must if your in the area..
