How is this my first time here being a native Visalian. First off I love how this place looks showcasing an old salvaged vintage 'Visalia' & 'Ice' sign. This place is open, casual, and inviting with honestly some great (the bomb) homemade artesian pizza. Love all the vintage posters showcasing all of California's state parks.The Food: I tried something different and ordered their Vegan options. I got the Garlic Knots w/ marinara sauce for dipping & the Primavera Pizza w/ Gluten-Free crust. Keep in mind that crust only comes with medium sized pizzas. The Garlic knots are fresh baked dough with garlic-infused butter. They were tasty & I tried not to eat too much to save room for the pizza. My pizza was fantastic. Full of fresh vegetables such as artichoke hearts, Roma tomatoes, black olives, green bell peppers, mushrooms all on a pesto sauce. That pesto sauce was killer. I also had a Lemonade to drink. Service: excellent! I'd like to thank my server Erin for being so quick with the Lemonade replacement. Apparently when I got up to wash my hands the overzealous staff swiped my lemonade thinking I had left. Trust me this is not the first time this has happened to me when dining solo, but the thing is I didn't notice as I was pulling back my seat. My server briskly came on my right hand side and said, 'Sorry about that, he thought you left.' No worries as I got a refreshing fill up of my Lemonade. My server was on her game. I didn't have to search or go ask another staff for assistance. She was handling her tables like a boss. Yah, girl I see you working hard for that money. I had a great experience. It's time to make a Reel to share with all my Insta peeps. This would be a great place for a Yelp Event

Pizza & Beer is a brilliant combination we have all enjoyed for years. Planning Mill Pizza is truly one of the best in town. We chose this venue to host a family celebration. They have two party rooms to pick from, one larger than the other. I was disappointed with the responsiveness of the representative in charge of securing the room. It did cause unwanted stress when trying to ensure everything was in order and ready to go. The day of the event arrived, there was no one to greet us or show us to the party room. This was not a good sign, we had to hunt down help before we were finally shown our room. Unfortunately, the room was not set up and we were left to set up all of the chairs as they were just stacked in the corner. There was limited time before guests were scheduled to arrive. We had to hustle to make sure everything was set up. This could have been avoided if they had set up the room before we arrived. All in all, the food was great and made up for the lack of hospitality. I would have given it an additional star but my overall experience lacked. Especially when we paid a pretty big penny to have our event hosted at this venue.

I hate to leave a one star review but we showed up on Sunday at 6:15. They don't close till seven. The guy at the front pretty much turned us away telling us that we would be waiting for 15 minutes and that the bar closes at 6:30 so we probably don't wanna wait pretty much made us feel unwanted unwelcome. I do not like that. Somebody needs to tell that guy that you don't turn people away Until it's closed.

We love The Planning Mill! We must admit we have not eaten here since before COVID, and used to patronize their old location very often. What a crime this was! Wow this place is just as delicious if not more than we remember. The food is a classic pizzeria but with their own spin on classics and a few catchy titles to needed classics! This is a must enjoy place if you are craving quality pizza, excellent local beer options, friendly staff, and enjoy one of the many historic buildings in downtown Visalia! We love how they remade this historic business into the 21st century but being aware of their the rich industrial history of the area! We highly recommend trying their Detroit style pizza! Wow! Delicious! Our son loved the injection style donuts; allowing a customer to customize their own dessert absolutely genius in our mind! Thank you for making our family outing a memorable one!

Great spot for pizza and wings. They get quite busy during lunch and dinner, sometimes seeing wait times over an hour. Thankfully they were empty at opening and service was stellar and fast. They had a standard beer menu along with monthly specials. As a sour aficionado, I was content with their selection and taste. =ORDERED=*Caesar Salad: came in two sizes and we got the large. I was disappointed in the portion given it was $15.49. Between 3 people, we barely had a few pieces of romaine each. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh but I wished the salad was tossed prior. The dressing came in 2 sample cups and could have been more generous. *Thai Traditional Wings: the glaze was a perfect balance between sweet and spicy. The wings were slightly crispy and the meat was juicy. Although there were peanuts on top, the sauce wasn't nutty and it resembled a milder mango habanero. Would come back just for the wings.*Big Lewbowski: a Detroit style pie that came with either 4 or 8 slices. Our party only managed to take down 1 square each so the small was perfect. The red sauce was flavorful and the pepperoni and salami were salty and crispy. I couldn't taste the sausage or bacon as much and the basil and ricotta were on the mild side. The crust was the best part as it was crunchy yet pillowy in the center. The Planing Mill offers a mean pie and awesome wings. The prices were higher than other pizzerias but the quality was top tier. I would avoid their salads and stick to the mains.

Pretty cool spot located in downtown Visalia area. Walk in and seat basically wherever you like. Good for small groups or big tables. Order at the bar or wait until a server comes over ; put in your order and wala.... They bring out ur food when it's done. Plentiful mozzarella sticks... nice and crispy and hot . Love that it's plenty to share. Pizza selections are great .... No skimpy toppings here... just a whole lot of topping love. Your mouth gets to compete with a variety of flavors from the toppings and some delicious crust. We ordered the Kitchen Sink... must order if you like meat and veggies. TV's on to watch sports games; friendly family restaurant. Good selection of beer choices for the adults of course !

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Kobe, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! From the moment we sat down, Kobe was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. He had an impressive knowledge of the menu and offered great recommendations that we absolutely loved.Kobe's service was prompt and efficient, ensuring that our drinks were always full and our food arrived hot and fresh. He checked in on us at just the right times, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work.Overall, Kobe made our dining experience memorable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend requesting him the next time you visit; you won't be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

Beers at the bar are great. Restaurant is cool to watch a game or hang out with friends for a drink. Pizza is solid. Wings are really good. Salad was good also. Deep dish pizza from here takes it to the best level. And if your brave try the fried macaroni balls. They are so good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Pizza cooks fast.
