Pizza has always been the undisputed champ of takeout and delivery. Why? Pizza is a consolidated meal in one package. It is also a true medium of self-expression using a palette of unlimited ingredients to satisfy the most bizarre of appetites. Given the increase of visits to cannabis dispensaries during the pandemic, pizza sales are doing better than most takeout establishments.
Bill’s Pizza offers some of the best pizza in the Coachella Valley. They don’t advertise imported flour from Italy or a pizzaiolo laboring in front of a wood-burning oven. We are talking about a pizza venue named Bill after all. No pretension there.
The creator of Bills, Bill Tracy, traveled the world tasting pizza and then came up with his unique dough recipe. The key ingredient is a sourdough starter culture (called the mother) that is replenished daily with simply water and flour to allow the wild yeasts within to flourish. This results in a crisp crust with a wonderful chewy texture that stands up well to the ingredients. The crust is thin with a thicker perimeter to contain the toppings.
The toppings, especially the Italian sausage, are fresh and flavorful. There is a long list of specialty pizzas on the menu including such favorites as the Elton John, the Charlie Sheen, the Hammer & Sickle, the Mooselini, and many more. Bill’s also sells pizza by the slice from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Bill’s only accepts cash or debit card.
