I guess if you want Chicago-style deep dish pizza in the Bay Area, you have three options: (1) Zachary's, (2) Patxi's, and (3) Blue Line. I suppose having been to the first two, I'm fairly qualified to comment on deep dish pizza. Well, that and the whole Giordano's/Lou Malnati's run I had back during my Chicago vacations. Pretty good deep dish pizza. We split a deep dish pizza with the Blue Line (not my style) and the Meatball (which was definitely my call). Fresh ingredients, solid flaky crust, decent-sized thickness. Not as deep as I prefer, it's closer to Patxi's/Lou Malnati's thickness rather than the overwhelming size of a Zachary's/Giordano's. It was still fairly cheesy though, just the way I like it. Two slices of this deep dish pizza will be more than enough to fill you up. Best time to come here is definitely during the day time when you can sit outside. Service was excellent as well. I'd say that it's not quite Zachary's, but it's on par with Patxi's. You can't really go wrong with any of the three though. read more

Blue Line Pizza - Half Blue Line, half meatball - Pizza Near Me - Mountain View, California

I really do like their deep dish pizzas. The stuffing is never mushy and does not fall off. The base is amazingly buttery and crunchy. We usually get the smallest size for two of us and the medium serves 4. I love the Margherita, though I have tried their entire array of veggie ones. I liked the spinach ones and the mushroom ones too. read more

I only order the deep dish pizza at Blue Line. The crust is well baked and they have fresh options for toppings. It literally melts in mouth. They have outdoor seating, which provides a more pleasant experience when weather allows. If you're going there in winter, try to avoid sitting next to the door, as it gets too windy every time sometime opens the door. Service is also fine. Although it gets a bit slow towards the end, when they are closing the restaurant. read more

Blue Line Pizza - A proper deep dish crust pizza with custom toppings: mushrooms, artichoke, green bell pepper, and jalapeno. - Pizza Near Me - Mountain View, California

Blue Line Pizza is in a great location in bustling DT Mountain View. My friend and I got outdoor seating and loved the ambience there! We ordered the thin crust pizza (large) with half pesto chicken and half BBQ chicken. There were 8 slices total, but each of us ate 2 and were already stuffed. The pizzas here are gratuitously piled on with toppings, so it really fills you up. Personally, I enjoyed the BBQ chicken more because it had these delicious chunks of crunchy bacon! Don't worry though, eating these pizzas didn't leave us with the typical "icky feeling" after eating pizza. The flavors we got also had a lot of veggies, like onion, cilantro, and mushrooms so we didn't feel too horrible about ourselves :P Usually, I'm also THAT PERSON that blots their pizza before eating it. However, I didn't find myself frantically searching for a napkin to blot these pizzas, because they did not appear greasy at all. On top of all that, for those that are truly health conscious, getting a thing crust pizza helps too- less oil! All in all, Blue Line Pizza is a great place for any ocassion.. catching up with a friend or a date- all over some delicious and high quality pizza. read more

Grabbed my first deep dish of 2020 here and boy, did I miss it. Just been trying to safe money and all during the Corona quarantine, but thought it was time to splurge a little. Also got a chance to convert two friends who had never tried deep dish before. They were blown away. By the time I broke out the honey for the crust, they were in ecstasy. Thank you Eric and the whole Blue Line team at Mountain View, hope to be back soon! read more

Yayy Blue Line! The wild mushroom & truffle pizza is def my favorite, on the lighter side but still very cheesy and plenty of truffle-y goodness. Would also recommend the spicy wings (not very spicy) and shishito peppers (little spicier) as apps. Watch out for the sauces if you aren't a blue cheese or goat cheese fan - that is not ranch or sour cream! We came on a Friday night at prime dinnertime and there was plenty of seating for our group of 9. The food came out a little slowly, but it was a chill time for all. Thanks Blue Line! read more

The first Chicago deep dish style pizza that I tried in the Bay Area and it was da bomb! The crust (cornmeal I think) was very well done and found it's rightful resting place in my tummy unlike other places where I have the tendency to leave it behind. Cheese was ideal , not soggy and the pull was one of the best I have ever seen. The last and the star of the show was the sauce, perfectly seasoned, warm and was such comfort food for a cold rainy night. One of my friends to whom pizza is as staple as milk enjoyed every bite and even took out another small version of the deep dish pizza to Netflix and binge for the night. The pizza sizes are ideal, small for about 2 people and the large for about 4 people. However I do want to knock half a star for their service and attention, it took a good 5-10 minutes for the host to get to us and help us get seated. And this was on a night which wasn't really bustling with people, maybe they are understaffed ? But yes, pizza is awesome and will absolutely come back for more! read more

Finally got to try the deep dish here after many recommendations from friends and coworkers. I'm definitely more of a thin crust guy but this was a very good experience for me! Loaded toppings but still ate like a good slice should rather a goopy mess. It was more casual than I had expected and the atmosphere was pretty chill. I had a good time walking around and being able to pop in and out and continuing on to others places there. Definitely a fan of this place, would love to try it again and compare with other deep dish places. read more

Ughhh, I just really like pizza, and they do it well here! I love that they have both deep dish and thin crust. Our faves are: - deep dish Chicago chop - thin crust mushroom with truffle oil - spicy meatballs - zoodle salad .... - wings are decent, too :) The wait can be a drag here, but to be honest, 80% of the restaurants along Castro get crazy around 5:30, so... Deal with it? :) read more

FREEZING!!!!! Soooooo uncomfortably cold each time. Not going back until Summer. My best friend and I went in the fall. It was coat weather outside, yet they had the front doors wide open for their own convenience so they could serve tables outside (heaters outside). I could barely think I was so damn cold. My best friend just went again. It is now winter. Front doors were again propped open. He's now feeling sick after freezing over dinner. As far as the food goes, it's good. Love the salads and the truffle pizza. So delicious. Their gluten free crust option is VERY good. It may actually be better than the regular crust. Try it. But seriously, PLEASE SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. Literally. We're coming for pizza, not cryotherapy. read more

I ordered a large deep dish pizza & it looked great. I have been to this place many times & was anticipating the great food I have always received. There was one thing missing, the pizza sauce. They piled the toppings on perfectly, but with no pizza sauce, it was dry crust & toppings. Disappointed after paying over $50 through Door Dash. The Door dash service was perfect. read more

Really good pizza. You'll have to wait about 40 mins after ordering if you order the thick crust pie but it's worth it. Flavorful sauce, lots of toppings (they don't skimp), pipping hot and oh so yummy!! Will continue to support this local restaurant. read more

This review is for delivery. Have not eaten in the restaurant. So here's the thing. I can verify, as a former Chicagoan (over 6 years), that this is a very solid Chicago style deep dish. The problem is that, and I know this makes me apostate to my former kinsmen and women but Chicago style pizza is just not that good.* I mean don't get me wrong. I like it OK but to me it just can't compare to a thin and crispy Neapolitan style pizza or a luscious foldable New York style pizza. So why go? Because my wife is a home grown Chicagoan and happy wife, happy life. We ordered the classic and it was a good classic. Really love the taste of the tangy sauce and the buttery crust was good. I've also had their thin crust before and found it a pretty good replica of Chicago thin cracker crust...which I really really don't like. I'd sooner eat Dominos or Papa Johns. So why did I give it 4 stars if I don't really like it? Because I have to rate it for what it is and it is really good Chicago style deep dish and thin crust. If that's what you are going for you won't be disappointed. *Except for Pequods - which is incredible! read more

The first time I ever had pizza from Blue Line was a leftover slice that I ate at my friend's house and it was delicious! So I was really excited to actually get a fresh slice at the restaurant. I shared a small size with 2 other friends and I think that's plenty. We ordered a small that was half white pie and half Chicago chop: White pie - I enjoyed everything about it but didn't care much for the fresh tomato as a topping. I didn't feel like it complimented the pizza well. I think I'm use to the white pizza slice just being more savory and the tomato made it taste more like a margarita pizza. Chicago chop - This is your typical meat lovers type pizza. Nothing to hate when you have pork 3 ways on a slice. Overall, it was still a good experience and the pizza was still good nonetheless. One thing that I really like about the pizza is how the crust taste and holds up when you try to eat. You can tell a lot about the quality of a pizza slice by the crust! read more

I've never really had deep dish before and was craving a thick crust pizza so I decided to try it out. I went with half bbq chicken and half tipsy pig. I was thrown off by the small size but as soon as I picked up the pizza I realized it was so heavy! For the price this pizza was good. They were very generous with toppings. However, I couldn't help but feel like the texture was a little off. My expectations are low but I'm not quite sure what to expect, so I'll have to come back and try it again. I also got the garlic bread which was delicious. One thing I didn't realize when ordering takeout from here was it's location. It is in a very crowded area, however they seemed to be monitoring traffic inside the restaurant very well. read more

Pretty good! I liked the food overall. I went with a group of 5 and we ordered a bunch of stuff: Chicken wings - dry rub, pretty good flavor, not too spicy Peppers - I didn't expect it, but some of the peppers were actually pretty spicy (to me, anyway). The peppers were roasted well though, good for a lighter appetizer Cheese Bread - Yum! Good amount of cheese, and had fluffy bread Chicago chop, deep dish - I always like deep dish pizza, and this was no exception. I'm not sure that I thought the filling was particularly better than other deep dishes I've had, but what I really liked about this one was the crust. It was really flaky and had good flavor. Mushroom and truffle oil, thin crust - I liked this one more, actually. The cheese used mixed so well with the fragrant oil, and the mushroom chunks were quite large. I think it's pretty comparable to Zach's or Patxi's, so if you like those places, this one is also worth trying! read more

Pizza was ok, not the best. Mozzarella reminded me of melted plastic. Decided to make my own pizza and when I asked the waitress about how the pricing went she said it ranges between these prices for toppings so I thought the dough, sauce, and cheese was included in the 2.25-3.25 per topping range. Anyways I chose 6 toppings which came out to almost $30 for a small. I was surprised when I saw the bill since it was more than their large combination pizzas and asked the waitress who didn't understand why neither. She got another guy to come explain and he said it's $14 for a cheese pizza plus price for toppings. Well great. I wish I knew that ahead of time. Meatball appetizer wasn't that great. Was like frozen meatballs with sauce and cheese, nothing tasted fresh. Wouldn't go again read more

I have no choice but to give two stars. We waited 45 min and they brought us a deep dish instead of thin crust. The only reason I give two stars vs. one is that they comp'd the glass of wine. So disappointed in our experience. We walked next store to Doppio Zero and got our pizza in 2 min!! read more

RAT PROBLEM!!! Zero stars if possible. Husband and I sat down to eat, ordered, and while waiting for food... A GIANT RAT RAN ACROSS THE BEAM IN THE CEILING.

(such a shame because pizza here is delicious...) read more

Yum, yum, yum, and yum! Love Blue Line Pizza! Nice edition to the Castro Street MV strip! I always order a salad, red wine, and a pizza! My favorite pizza is the Blue Line Pizza with thin crust. I recommend sharing your pizza and splitting (large portion sizes). Service is great here and I love the patio seating option. Place is small so fills up quickly. My coworker ordered a lunch sandwich and it looked great! It came with fresh oven backed potato chips. I will order next time I come here for lunch since I was stuffed for ordering a gigantic pizza. read more

Like their deep dish pizza. However the service in the Mountain View location is too bad, staff is careless and doesn't pay attention. This time I had a stomach upset after having the deep dish pizza, I'll perhaps start looking for other alternatives read more

Dope! We got the original deep dish pizza and wings. I liked how the wings were seasoned with a dry-rub type of seasoning instead of a sauce and they were a good size and not too fatty. The reason why I particularly like Blue Line is for their cornmeal crust! It gives it a great texture and it stayed crunchy and held up all the pizza toppings which were nicely melted. I've had Rance's deep dish in southern California but this one is def better. But like all deep dish pizza places, patience is a virtue! read more

Pizza is yummy, options are great but the service is lacking. Our waters were never refilled and when I went to the back to use the bathroom I saw our server standing there chatting with other servers while holding our leftover pizza (to be boxed). On my walk they were still there chatting, it also took way too long to get our bill. I recommend takeout...? The appetizer meatballs were slightly spicy and super yummy (covered in cheese so obviously yum yum). Definitely order a half and half pizza so you get to try different toppings! The thin crust here doesn't hold up when you get toppings on your pizza so you'll end up making a mess but it's still a tasty mess. read more

Pretty good! Hubby is a big deep dish fan so we had to try it out. We shared a small mixed salad & a small deep dish Italian combo and it was the perfect amount for the two of us. I appreciated that the mixed salad was a decent size and they did not skimp on the toppings! Two beers, a glass of wine, a salad, and pizza came to $48 before tip - not bad! read more

Alright, so did I mention that my friend works at apple? yeah i'm pretty sure not that many people can say they know someone who works at apple, here, in silicon valley, 5 miles away from apple. Anyways... We decided it was about damn time we got a pizza, just because it truly has been a while since we've had pizza. So we decide to hit up blue line in mountain view. Actually this was not a quick choice, we actually stood between blue line and doppio for a good five minutes before deciding on going to one. Why didnt we choose doppio zero? well we felt like something with a tad bit more cheese and a large bit more crust. So we came in, server was a trainee but was super, probably even better than a regular waiter. Also his supervisors were there, so we more or less had 3 servers minding over us the entire lunch session. We decided to go with a traditional chicago meat lovers pizza and had them make the other half of the pizza be a mushroom pizza. They said this was enough to feed 4-5 people, but we both knew we each counted for 2 and a half men. I got a beer, it was pretty nice, my non drinking homeboy got a ginger beer, also super nice. We finished off most of the pizza but what made this a true 5 star place was when our alleged trainee waiter came out with a bottle of honey. My first instinct was to think this was a winnie the pooh joke and get triggered bu then it was evident that we were being introduced to a trend of dipping our pizza crust into honey. Pretty good call, was delicious. 10/10 recommend this spot. read more

Came here with a group of five on a Saturday night. We ordered one large pizza, one small, garlic bread and meatballs . Personally I would skip the apps if I came again. The pizza was redeeming. You can split the pie into two flavors we had mushroom truffle and the blue line pizza on the large. Chicago chop on the small. The mushroom truffle was my favorite because I like white sauce. Others were ok but not memorable. read more

The pizza tastes great, and typical sit-down service is very good as well. We always have a good experience here. Each time we've given feedback, they have been really great at addressing issues. We had one order that had two issues that are, in hindsight, comical. Our first deep-dish take-out had maybe 6 pieces of pepperoni in the entire pizza. I'm not exaggerating. We found a half piece of pepperoni in each slice of pizza, and only 2 whole/intact pepperoni pieces otherwise. Across 8 slices of pizza... They charge $4.50 for extra, so, 6 extra pieces I suppose? I can get a package of at least 20 at Whole Foods for $5.00. That's kind of outrageous. I understand needing to make a profit, but come on. Then to top it off, when breaking down the box I see the name they wrote on the box: Tit. Yep, Tit. Whose name is Tit? I tried to be clear knowing it's often noisy in the background for them, but somehow Tit was what wound up on the box. I didn't see that until I got it home (dark back alley pick-up location...it's not eerie, just bad lighting). Blue Line offers great flavors for the most part. The only house combination we explored but wouldn't repeat is the BBQ chicken; the amount of BBQ sauce was just overpowering for our preferences. We like the meatball and other styles, both deep dish and thin crust taste great, and the salads are fresh. Would recommend. read more

I usually go for thin crust but since we had a large group I got to try the thin crust Chicago chop and the thick crust BBQ chicken. Both of them we're fantastic! The thick crust didn't slight sogginess when you bite into it as some have...I really liked the consistency. read more

So in order to squash my crazy pizza craving at the moment, we decided between Patxi's and Blue Line Pizza. We've tried Patxi's before, and although it was very long ago, we couldn't remember if Patxi was good enough to come back for a second time. I was craving deep dish and we went to look up another place that sold it. I then faintly remembered a place called Blue Line Pizza that had pretty good reviews. We looked at some of their pictures and decided to give it a try. We were thoroughly impressed by how delicious it was, and (in our opinions) how much better it was compared to Patxi's. Blue Lines' deep dish came out faster, had tastier ingredients and was overall a more pleasant visit. We ordered a large deep-dish, half meatball and half chicago chop pizza. The meatball was delicious and very well-balanced. read more

The Bottom Line: Saucy, cheesy, kinda thick, but you still love 'em. It could be a description of an SO, or a deep dish pizza. I think everyone outside of Jon Stewart would enjoy a meal here. Try: Roasted Peppers Cheese (Deep Dish) Pro: We ordered the cheese deep dish, to make sure a restaurant gets the basics right. They nailed it here. The sauce was hot but not volcanic, and very flavorful. The cheese was thick and fatty, but not oily. The crust had heft to it. The surprise of the night, though, were the roasted peppers. I'm usually not a fan, but these were excellent. The waiter recommended them, and I'm glad we took them up on the recommendation. The salt, oil, and sauce do build up over time if you eat too many of them, so I recommend having lots of water, or splitting it with more than 2 people. Con: Honestly, I really couldn't think of one. If I had to, I'd give the place 4.5, but the service and food quality put it over the top. :) read more

We like this chain for its offerings and flavors. We typically like to start with one of their more simpler, meatless salads. Then, it's on to both the deep dish and thin crust pizzas. Both are very good and meet the desires of the family. Service is friendly, quick, and very attentive. This is a great addition to downtown Mountain View! read more

Got this catered for a work event and we loved it so much that we went back to eat here in person! We got the Blue Line pizza and Chicago Chop, both of which were great. The pizza did taste way better when we went in person because the cheese was oozier, and while that's to be expected with a delivery situation, it does make a big difference for deep dish pizza. We also got a ton of other sides like the garlic cheese breadsticks, wings, the zoodle salad and the citrus slaw. Everything was super yummy, and I particularly loved the zoodle salad. The zucchini ribbons were perfectly sautéed and they included a hearty amount of sundried tomato, olives, and feta cheese. Highly recommend al fresco dining if the weather permits. If you're in downtown Mountain View and looking for a place that is decently priced and can accommodate a ton of dietary restrictions (read: it has tons of vegetarian options, healthy options, and even non-pizza options), this is a good contender! Plus, pizza makes (almost everyone) happy. read more
