Value (5.3 out of 10)
mentioned by 30% of the guests
When it comes to value, this spot is a bit of a mixed bag, scoring an average 5.3. While customer satisfaction sits at a poor 36.7%, there are bright spots. Many of the 11 positive opinions praise the Monday night 50% off special, great prices on deals, and decent promotions that make dining affordable, especially with free parking available.
However, the 15 negative opinions highlight a different story, with many finding the regular prices to be expensive and overpriced for the quality. Some feel they pay through the nose, especially for a large pepperoni or the largest pie, suggesting that without a special, the value proposition significantly drops.

- decent promotionsI'm so glad they deliver to Carmel Valley off of the 56 and Carmel Country Rd. Despite other pizza options nearby like Dominos, Oggi's, Sammy's, and URBN, we will always choose Round Table for their quality pizzas and decent promotions. We enjoyed the Chicken & Garlic Gourmet, the double play pepperoni, and the 6 garlic parmesan twists (which were free after signing up).
- free parking lotParking options:Free parking lot
- great priceThe restaurant itself has a large dining room equipped with screens and arcade machines, making for a fun atmosphere. The service was fast and friendly, and they offer a lunch menu with great prices. I particularly enjoyed the Large One Topping Pizza.

- pricesLoved the boneless wings. Great prices. We just moved to the area, and I plan to definitely use them as my go-to pizza place!
Frequently criticized
- priceFor a large pepperoni pizza, $40 felt way over-priced. I love Roundtable, but now I'm priced out. 😢 😭
- expensiveway more expensive than other options
- priceshow in the hell do you justify the prices
- buffetMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I was overcharged for the buffet, even with a coupon. The selection was very limited, with only two pizzas available, and the cottage cheese was spoiled.
- bundleNot sure it was worth the price
- large pepperoni$40 for large pepperoni to me is way over priced
- largest pieThe largest pie is kind of expensive
- totalcharged $17.35
If youre looking for a deal, definitely check out their specials and promotions, as thats where the value shines. Otherwise, be prepared that regular menu items, especially larger pizzas, might feel quite expensive and could leave you disappointed.

Great Pizza, High Price, Lost Arcade
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The pizza itself was great tasting, earning a high rating for food. However, the price is extremely high, with pizzas costing $30-$40 unless you take advantage of their Monday night 50% off online special.
This would have been a 4-star review, but they recently removed the pinball machine. The addition of four claw machines and a timed racing game doesn't quite make up for the loss of a proper arcade. Boo!

The atmosphere and service were rated a 5 out of 5, and the food was also a 5 out of 5. It's suitable for all group sizes and perfect for lunch.
