Pizza for Thanksgiving?

| No Comments |
Who says you have to have turkey for Thanksgiving? Or even ham?

Some of my favorite holiday meals were homemade spaghetti or lasagne, made with love by Mom.

But how do you feel about pizza?

John's Incredible Pizza (no relation), which gave us a scary good $5 deal on Halloween, is offering a similar deal for Thanksgiving.

For $7 per person, you and the family can have all the pizza, salad, soup, pasta, desserts and non-alcoholic beverages you want.

In the Inland Empire, the deal is only good at the Riverside and Montclair locations, so you Victorvillains will have to trek down the hill if you want this deal.

The deal is good from noon to 9 p.m. Thanksgiving day. No coupon is necessary.

John's Incredible Pizza, with Inland Empire locations in Montclair, Riverside and Victorville, is offering an incredible Halloween deal.

On Monday (October 31) only, $5 will get you an all-you-can-eat buffet, unlimited fountain beverage, coffee or ICEE, and a free $5 Fun Card.

Wow!

To take advantage of the deal, first click here, then click the "Get Spooky Special" link and print out the coupon.

The coupon is good for up to six people. And yes, I've already printed mine out.
Not only do you get a free $10 FunCard for yourself, but you'll be helping the fight against cystic fibrosis.

Here's how it works: Print out this coupon, take it to John's Incredible Pizza Co., give them the coupon, purchase an adult buffet and beverage, and you'll get a free $10 FunCard.

John's will also donate $1 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides 2011.

Unfortunately, today (May 20) is the last day to get in on the deal and help out.

John's Incredible Pizza has three locations in the Inland Empire:

  • Victorville: 14766 Bear Valley Road
  • Montclair: 5280 Arrow Highway

Ruben's Fiesta Maya, Rockin' Baja close

| No Comments |
A couple of high-profile restaurant closures to report.

The first is the Montclair outlet of the Rockin' Baja Coastal Cantina chain, which was at 9335 Monte Vista Ave., in the space long occupied by Tony Roma's.

Rockin' Baja opened back in December of 2008.

A sharp-eyed reader notified us via Twitter.

A drive-by on Tuesday verified the closure. The building was stripped of any signage and a piece of paper with the word "Closed" on it was taped on the inside of the window in one of the front doors.

A shorter-lived venture is Ruben's Fiesta Maya in Redlands.

In case you missed 'em

We've run a couple of food-related items on The Sun and Daily Bulletin business pages in the last two days.

In today's papers, we had a story regarding the long-completed, but still-unopened Loma Linda fresh & easy.

Guess what?

Still no opening date, but we knew that already, didn't we?

Click here to read the story as it appeared in this morning's Sun.

And in yesterday's paper, we had an item on the impending opening of a Chipotle Mexican Grill and the discussions of opening a Panera Bread in the city of Montclair.

The Chipotle will be east of Montclair Plaza, while Panera would be on the western edge of the mall.

Now, how about something to fill in the location north of the mall vacated by Islands last month?

These things take time, I guess.

No escape from Rockin' Baja Costal Cantina

I'm on their list.

They send me emails.

They leave me voice mail messages.

Rockin' Baja has tracked me down.

However, they bring good news! This year is their 25th anniversary, and they've got a deal for you.

Free Domino's pizza...if you're into that sort of thing

| 1 Comment |
I've always thought of Domino's Pizza as being near the bottom of the pizza totem pole, just above Little Caesars. but I'm sure they have their fans.

It's for those people that I offer the following information.

From 10 a.m. to noon on February 24th, Domino's Pizza (three stores in the West Valley, at least) will be giving away free samples of their new American Legends pizzas.

The three stores involved in the giveaway are:

  • 366 W. Foothill Blvd., Claremont
  • 9885 Central Avenue, Montclair
  • 1650 E. 4th Street, Ontario
Their American Legends pizzas are six regionally-inspired specialty pies named for different locales around the country.

Rockin' Baja comes to the Inland Empire

| 1 Comment |
The restaurant formerly known as Rockin' Baja Lobster is bringing its south-of-the-border style seafood to the Montclair Plaza mid-December.

Now known as Rockin' Baja Coastal Cantina, the Mexican restaurant is scheduled to open December 13 in the former Tony Roma's location at 9335 Monte Vista Avenue.

With restaurants in California, Nevada, Texas and Mississippi, this will be the chain's first in the IE.

The only Rockin' Baja I've been to is the Redondo Beach location, while I was on assignment at the Daily Breeze. From what I remember, it wasn't that memorable. I seem to recall it was a little pricey, and the food wasn't over-the-top spectacular, but the Caesar salad/salsa bar was a treat (although it appears they've done away with the Caesar salad portion of that).

That said, that particular location has since closed.

If you are thinking about checking out the Montclair location, you might want to click here first.

Just consider that a little early Christmas gift from your friends here at Dine 909.

One thing though...I never quite understood the concept of restaurants having a mascot that is ostensibly the main course. A little too Cluckin' Chicken for me, I guess. Ga-ga-ga-goinggg!
