    Talk about excellent pizza!! Very much a place to visit! The decor is an old fashioned pizza joint but clean and nice. Staff was super friendly and service was fast. Be prepared to leave full, the pizza is so good!! Small little arcade room for the kids and a nice bar for the adults. My first time, but I will be back!! Bonus Andy's mints with the check!!

    Went for the first time last night with my family. We had the Betty White. It was fantastic. Food tasted great, service was kind and curteous. It was very busy, but the waitress checked on us regularly. Slight hiccup with the cheese pizza we ordered for our kids, but staff corrected it quickly. Will definitely be going back!

    Being born and raised in Yankton, I was raised on Charlies, and yesterdays...unfortunately only one of them is open to this day. Its been a few years since I've been "home" to enjoy my favorite pizza place, but Charlie's never dissapoints. Their pizza is even good the next day, straight from the fridge (that is if you're lucky enough to need a to go box! Because you didn't finish it all. And it's so good you're going to want to!)

    Never been here before and was very happy with the choice. Very good pizza. They could work on service a little. Slow getting things but they were very busy. Maybe a couple more employees would change that. Great family spot

    I am from Yankton. Charlie’s has always been good! Every time I come back I get Charlie’s! I live south of Chicago and I’ve had a lot of different types of crusts and sauces but I always default to Charlie’s as the best!

    First time there and the pizza is fantastic! Cool retro building and atmosphere. Great service. Cute waitresses. The only issue I have is the prices. They aren't cheap. The food is high quality but the prices are at least 25% too high. Even with that I will come back again.

    Fantastic pizza, good selection of beers on tap and we didn’t wait long for food or drink. Atmosphere is old as they haven’t done much to the building. But again, pizza was wonderful. Gentlemen who greeted us was fantastic but there was defiantly some sort of rift going on between the servers.

    Delicious pizza. Very busy place, but the staff keeps up well. Look forward to eating there again

    Great pizza. Sauce is nice and light and cheese was yummy. Crust was perfect. And this from a Chicago girl with many many great pizza places.

    Best pizza in South Dakota by far! I love the history and vibe inside the restaurant. I absolutely love Yankton and Charlies is a staple for me every summer.

  • 2/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of toppings on the pizza. Used way to much generic Italian pizza seasoning that overpowered the other toppings. After a reply from the owner I have to lower the rating. How is a new customer supposed to know that if you don't want a field of oregano on the pizza I had to tell the order taker. I cannot recommend this location or the one in Sioux Falls to anybody.

    We just ate there and had a table of 6. The serving staff were fun and extremely accommodating to us as we had a couple in their 90’s that needed a table close to the door and the place was packed. The food was amazing and the local brewery beer was excellent. I highly recommend!

    Established in 1959 has been a local favorite for many many years and still superb to this day. I hear they opened another Charlie's in Sioux Falls which the family and I will try out also. For the amount of food and the quality of food I can't belive it isn't a chain by now. They have a 1919 root beer that is free refills and a game room for the kids to spend some quarters in too. I played a little air hockey with my son and we shared some giggles. Best in town!

    We absolutely loved this place! Our waitress Autumn was amazing! Great pizza and great service! We will be back again next time we’re in town!

    They are busy because their pizza is so good. The staff are very nice even when they are very busy. My kids love playing the air hockey in the game room while they wait.

    Delicious, one-of-a-kind pizza that once you crave it, no other pizza will fill the void. Good service & friendly staff that has been pumping out consistent, high quality pizza for decades. You wont be disappointed, highly recommend!

    First time. Easy to find. We arrived right at opening. The decor is quite old. The wait staff were nice, not overbearing. 1919 root beer on tap, served in Ball wide mouth jars, excellent. Had cheese bread appetizer, very good. Ordered the Humphrey Bogart. Came faster than the 30min expected time. Very good pizza. Crust has great crunch and chew. Good amount.of toppings. We will be trying the SF restaurant.

    This is my mom's favorite pizza place here 😋 mine too! Here we did door dash and looking forward to it. Here we got another pizza elsewhere for others over here (@house) and the gal walks up and we look out and she is holding both upright instead of flat 😳🤦 the guy's pizza was cold and ours looked like this. Still delicious as always just an lazy/rude door dash employee

    Good everything and the arcade is really fun but the pizza was a little too greasy for my liking
