This food is delicious…garlic knots are insane. Wings are incredible, and the pizza is very high quality. Great pizza spot in north Spokane
To start, I was in town all day w my toddler kids, yay fun.. Any parent knows how stressful that can be. My husband called right as we were leaving town and really wanted a Calzone. I dont feel like cooking after I get home. So I called several places and it was eather to late or didn't make them. I stumbled on McClains. When I called they were so helpful and nice. It was close to there closing time but they didn't mind. When I arrived, got my order and headed to my car. Now my kids are hungry for the 4th time today. So I went back in, mind you it's 3min before they close, and ask them to make a cheese pizza & bread sticks. "No problem "! Was there response. After me going in and out 3 times, after they closed.... they were still so nice to me.
I was even annoyed of myself by then but I left, what I hope, was a generous tip. I couldn't appreciate these guys more! Thank you so much from a buisy, tiered Mother of 5.
*No pictures, family ate it before I could take any.
Had to come back and give a 5 star for these guys. They responded well and made things right! Second visit went so well that we decided that we will keep coming back and continue to enjoy a great pizza. The sauce is really good and the crust is pretty damn good. That is what makes pizza great. Anyone can throw toppings on a 'pizza' but not all get those two right. Great job McClain's Pizzeria! Recommend these guys for sure! 😎👍
