James LoftusFebruary 15, 2015Excellent woodfired oven pizza. Great ingredients and tasty crust. Nice outside seating as well.
Carmen RiosAugust 5, 2015if 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.- Craig VodnikAugust 26, 2014Have to say that the thin crust pepperoni pizza was quite good. Nice outdoor seating, too.
- Corey FordJuly 31, 2011The 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...
RajMay 13, 2017The menu says $16 for a cheese pizza you can add toppings to, but they will charge you $19 - not written on the menu however
Pizza, salads, wine list - all terrific. That's why there's ever a line and s l o w service!
Brad WhitworthDecember 21, 2011Definitely worth any wait. Very nice wine list, especially for a pizza place.
Ellen BaldassinMarch 16, 2016beware 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.
Todd WilsonOctober 17, 2011Order the Martella "Hammer" Syrah by the glass, while it lasts. (10/16/11)
they don't deliver unless it's over $250, but they have Door Dash and you can get delivery thru them.
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.
Will CaronJune 13, 2010Foods amazing. One of the best pizzas I have ever had... Service sucks. Its hard just to get a refill!
Emrecan DoganApril 17, 2010A slice of cheese pizza is $5. It is big (good for a couple) and it is delicious.
Nanda GarberOctober 13, 2013Super 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.
Thy usually burn the crust. Need to ask them to make it light.
