Viking Tower Pizza — Restaurant in Solvang

This evening we came to this location to order food. Hours stated they are open until 8pm. We arrived at 6:45pm and I was denied to eat inside, but something more disturbing happened in-front of me. An Indian family walked in wanting to order 4 large pizzas to go at 7:07 pm and they were denied and told they were closed, but 3 white men came in right as the Indians walked out the door and placed an order. The three white men were sitting at the bar drinking while I had to sit outside to eat. To top it off as I was leaving the white men were able to eat inside, but l was denied. I'm appalled especially knowing l'm a local. Raised in Solvang and to see this type of behavior is disgusting. It will definitely be made well aware in our small community. I've been coming here for about 30 damn years and I never thought I'd witness racism or treating our tourist who keep this community and local business owners going. This use to be my favorite pizza place and l'd rave to people to come here from out of town but unfortunately I will use mine and other social media platforms to make sure people know to stay away and what was witnessed. The discrimination issues have been addressed to the state board and my legal team. I am a white woman but was with a Hispanic male so makes perfect sense why I had to sit outside while the white men enjoyed the warm indoors when they arrived after I did. Oh and to top it off the pizza has gone downhill and the heath department should be called. No washing hand, young kid not wearing gloves, and laying their cutting boards outside on the outdoors furniture. Ordered an XI pepperoni and the pizza had maybe 10 pieces of pepperoni and tasted microwaved.

Being from this small town I’m all about supporting our local business, but I will not dish another penny to this establishment. I encourage others to do the same. Unfortunately some businesses feel entitled and forget what keeps their businesses going. It’s not their friends but the tourist and local residents. Do better in the future Tower Pizza and train your employees to know the laws and some respect and manners.

Posted are pictures of the horrible pizza and of course the entitled individuals enjoying eating their meal inside while everyone else Was refused service or told to eat outside or...

We needed dinner as we were starving and walked around Solvang for a place to eat. We tried a couple of restaurants and they were full. Problem was that we forgot it was Valentine’s Day and everywhere needed a reservation (late post)! After a bunch of aimless walking, we decided to just get pizza at Tower Pizza. Luckily, it wasn’t packed and the food was decent. I got the buffalo chicken pizza which was pretty good. It’s a super thin pizza and I felt like there could have been bigger pieces of chicken or more toppings or something. There was only fried onion stings as the other topping. It was spicy and had good flavor, but it could have used more substance. I also got the alfredo ravioli. This one I could have passed on. It tasted like normal ravioli and sauce that I could probably get in a jar.

Overall, it satisfied our hunger, but it wouldn’t be my first choice of...

The staff were friendly, the overpriced pizza was alright. But we were in the heart of a tourist area so we kind of expected to pay for overpriced food. They have a nice seating area outside and we got lucky enough to snag a table in the shade. Indoors seems like a good place to come and watch the game and drink a few. However, for the price I would have expected more of the actual food - taste wise. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't worth the nearly $20 we paid for a small "specialty"pizza. I wish I would have taken a picture of the pizza, it was just so un-noteworthy I didn't think of it. the seating outside gives you a nice view and the opportunity to photobomb the throngs of tourists who stop to take pictures there. Be wary someone will inevitably end up with a picture of you stuffing your mouth with food, it is a very popular alley...
