    Excellent woodfired oven pizza. Great ingredients and tasty crust. Nice outside seating as well.

    if you arrive before 5pm in weekdays, you can choose a special either pizza+soda or pizza+soda+salad and portions are super big!

    The gold standard of potato pizzas -- their Baked-Potato Pizza is that potato pizza I hold all others against to judge. Pizza Bianco is surprisingly spicy.

    Their lunch special is a slice, half salad and a fountain drink for $11. Big portions all around and a great value!

    Say hi to Howie, who is usually behind the counter tossing a pie. He'll create off-menu toppings/combos, so don't be shy to ask.

    Have to say that the thin crust pepperoni pizza was quite good. Nice outdoor seating, too.

    The Margarita Pizza is the best I've had. Really authentic and delicious. A glass of the Zinfandel goes great with it.

    As much as I love the pizza here, the service gets more confused and less courteous with each visit...

    Soft serve ice cream is a great deal and will feed at least 2.

    The chopped salad is great, and large enough for 3-4 to share as a starter...

    The menu says $16 for a cheese pizza you can add toppings to, but they will charge you $19 - not written on the menu however

    beware of this place! Waiter passed my card twice, one in the amount of $ 84 and another at the correct value of $ 30.45. I called asking to be returned and they don't want to.

    A slice of cheese pizza is $5. It is big (good for a couple) and it is delicious.

    The Caesar is great. However, it is even better if you get it with fried pepperoni.

    A pizza slice and a small coke is $5, a bit on the expensive side but at least better than nothing. It also gets CROUDED by noon on weekdays by Paly students.

    Super expensive. Was overcharged based on incorrect price information given over the phone and the manager told me I was lying!! Don't bother with this unethical place.
