I got the medium Chicken Supreme BBQ pizza and it was so good. I personally really like BBQ pizza, but I feel like some places overdo it with the BBQ sauce. This place gets the balance perfectly right where you can taste the BBQ flavor without it being overwhelming. They definitely did not skimp on the toppings either. Every single bite was super flavorful and had plenty of toppings on it. I also really liked the crust. I'm not really a thin crust person and I like a bit more dough in my crust and this one was perfect for that. It had a nice texture and held everything together really well. They also made it really quickly, which was great. I didn't think I'd like the raw tomatoes on top at first, but they actually add a refreshing taste that cuts through the heavier BBQ flavors really nicely. Definitely recommend the Chicken Supreme BBQ pizza if you come here but I'd recommend this place in general. read more

Checkers Pizza & Ribs - BBQ Chicken Supreme Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I've driven by here a bunch of times, but have honestly never gone inside. This particular day, my son asked if I could pick up a pizza for him and I agreed. When I called to find out what time they were open until the people on the other end were very polite and gave the time and I went ahead to order. It's a small, quaint little shop with maybe two tables inside but honestly they're obnoxious LED lights were so bright, I also have a sensitivity to light, I couldn't see anything as I was walking in, and actually had a shield, my hand over my eyes as I walked up. there storefront was so bright. It was as if a Tesla was going to hit me in the face! The pizza was really good nice medium crust not too much sauce and not too greasy considering the toppings were pepperoni and bacon but I was kind of annoyed afterwards because the storefront window said they had a large one topping pizza for 1499. I basically spent $27 with a tip, on a two topping pizza. Lol oh well teachers budget?! I wish I would've known beforehand. Everything overall was OK but I wish I would've asked if they were specials or something beforehand cause I think I got a bit hoodwink tear but maybe I'll come back for their special. My son loved the pizza! He's a teenager, so that's all that really matters! Lol. read more

I've been a repeat customer for a while now when I get a craving for pizza I order here. They never disappoint. What I ordered: BBQ Chicken Pizza: BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, red & green bell peppers, black olives, red onions & fresh tomatoes One tiramisu slice I ordered a medium BBQ chicken for myself and it's plenty big, enough for a few days. The toppings are very generous and I even found myself pretty full after one slice. Today I ordered delivery and decided to get the tiramisu slice this time. I thought the tiramisu was good. I could instantly taste the coffee which is what I love about tiramisu. I'd buy this dessert again and I thought the price was fair for the slice. I recommend! I really enjoy their pizza and they have great customer service as well. Our order is always correct. I recommend! read more

Just tried Checkers for the first time, and I was satisfied overall. Apparently, they've been in business for 30 years and are family owned. When I went to pick up my large 2 topping pizza, I used the manager special, and the total was $21 and some change. It has a very old school taste, but it's good nonetheless. Very small storefront, and it was really hot inside, no AC. I would recommend pickup or delivery. Nothing special, I can see myself ordering here again though. read more

Had a pepperoni pizza delivered and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this pizza! It hit my pizza craving and the crust was nice and chewy. Only thing I thought is they could've added more pepperoni. I have heard their other pizzas are really tasty, and can't wait to eat there again! read more

Best pizza I have ever had! I am comparing to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row, and Giorgio's in San Jose - ok? I have had their lasagna, calzone, all their salads, and delicious deserts. And their pizza is all awesome! Fresh healthy ingredients! Tasty and very fair prices! One of the last family run businesses - don't miss out - catch them while you can! Life is short! ( I am a real customer ) ! read more

The pizza here is really tasty and the chicken nuggets get bonus points for nostalgia. The fries! They are super crisper and the right amount of fluff! The gentleman took my order told me a wait time and brought out my food to where I was sitting outside. So kind. He also brought me my receipt a few minutes later because I left it there. read more

I haven't been here in probably 3 years so thought i'd pay them a visit after moving back to town! Their small sized pizza is freaking huge and will stuff you up if you're coming here to pick up some grub for lunch. The owner is super nice, and sweet to talk to!! I can safely say I can do without their fried chicken nuggets and probably their appetizers overall. Their fried zucchini and jalapeno peppers are the only ones that stood out to me. However, definitely better service and quality than City Pizza up the road as they use fresher ingredients!! Will probably come by for dinner another time or lunch again in the near future!! read more

Checkers Pizza & Ribs - small all meat special pizza and appetizer sampler - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is for a DoorDash order. I tried a small pepperoni, the taste was pretty good. Center crust was a little soft and the sauce was a little sweeter than I like, though I know that is some people's preference. Pretty expensive but I know it's a small business so something to take into consideration. All in all it's a solid pizza, and I will order again. read more

The pizza we ordered was bland. The sauce was not seasoned and tasted like regular canned tomato sauce. The chicken wings were burnt. Delivery was quick. read more

Meh, was okay. I envisioned a meatball pizza to be different lol. I ate it. The "boneless wings" looked more like chicken nuggets (6 piece) and were overpriced. They were pretty good and wish I had gotten a larger order (as I could have eaten those alone instead of pizza). Haha. Overall I felt it was overpriced for what I got. $20 for a small pizza and chicken nuggets ‍ read more

3.5 in my eyes. I worked Saturday until nearly 10:30PM and so yesterday (Sunday) I wanted to have dinner out after taking Gavin to Mtn. View for some biking fun. The weather was beautiful, too. I received a call from my boss asking if I can cover Singapore for a few so I went home shortly afterwards. Gavin wanted dinner at home so I whipped him up something but I was in no mood to cook so I ordered via DoorDashed. Ordered their garlic chicken supreme and wings. The pizza was a bit dry (def needed more sauce in my eyes) but other than that the pizza was pretty good that even Gavin stole 3 slices *sad* The wings were very good.. I loved that they hand-poured their ranch. It was plenty for me. Sunday dinner made easy. read more

The pizza I had was great. Ingredients tasted fresh and the crust had a good texture to it. What impressed me the most however was the chocolate cake. It almost tasted like a ferrero rocher because it has a thin wafer layer. The ganache was also impressive/well-executed. I really enjoyed my lunch from here. read more

I just started working at the local school nearby and we found a lunch special for a pretty decent price. They're a pretty no nonsense business and get the job done quickly. Great food. Good price. On time. Can't ask for more especially if you have less than 30 minutes for lunch. read more

I have eaten here a couple times now. I decided to give this place another chance via doordash and #supportthebay while we are in our "shelter in place" order. The food is definetly not bad but I wouldn't say it's any better than average. The pizza slices are quiet small and there is not a ton of flavor in their sauces. They also dont make their own ranch, it definitely tastes like a bottle of hidden valley. This place is fine in a pinch but I probably wont be eating here again. read more

Checkers Pizza & Ribs - a slice of pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I ordered a pizza for takeout for a gathering and for a medium pizza, it was $18 (including additional topping which is $2.00). I thought it was a little more expensive, but oh well! We got a mushroom + pineapple pizza with 1/2 pepperoni. As stated, since we built our own, we only got 2 free toppings and paid $2 extra for the pepperoni. I think the more disappointing thing was that we only got 3 slices of pepperoni for $2.00. I wouldn't mind paying $2 if I got more pepperoni. :( The pizza crust was really good, not dry, and had a nice garlic flavorful. The cheese and tomato sauce was fine; nothing too special. read more

I wanted something quick and I stumbled upon this pizzeria. To be honest I did not think Ku not this place but boy was I wrong. It had a nice layer of cheese and the crust was not thick. Nice and crunchy, how I like it. I can't wait to come back and try their other pizzas. read more

My pizza was virtually flavorless and the toppings were skimpy and a very low quality. The sausage was bland. The sauce is not impressive. Like something you get out of a jar. To be honest you're probably better off going to Domino's. read more

We love their veggie pizzas! There are two different kinds, and we usually have them both in large size, half and half. Their thin crust is also really good - crispy and light! People there are always friendly and cheerful! We love both the quality of pizzas and people working there! read more

I came here today with a Groupon expecting something good because of the reviews I read about this place. A large pizza is 25 dollars, and I paid just 15. Even then I wouldn't consider my money well-spent. I must have been cheated on a small pizza (kidding but not really) because the one I got was only enough to feed 1 hungry person or 2 people max. It costs 25$ dollars! And the pizza isn't even that good! It just tasted like the normal chain pizza and I would definitely not go again. The only caveat was that the customer service was really good. The gentleman at the counter was polite and delivered the pizzas swiftly. In the end, I didn't even feel like finishing it and I gave it 3/4ths uneaten to a kind homeless man. read more

Great food. Love the company and food. It was a bit cold inside than outside... they did blasted air conditioners

I don't know why I do this to myself. I always forget that my favorite pizza places are closed on Sundays, so end up having to find a subpar pizza on the rare Sundays I'm craving it. I chose Checkers based on Yelp ratings and I don't know if I'm just more discerning than other people or if the pizza I received had gone wrong somehow, but it was absolutely disgusting. I've had some horrible pizza before, but this was quite possibly the worst I've ever had. I didn't even bother to put the leftovers away. I practically burned money yesterday. read more

I had my eye on Checkers for a while now and decided to deviate from the pizza spots I'm a regular at. My take on my XL Combo Pizza was the dough was light and airy with a good chew. It was a good combination pizza but not great. I was a fan of all the toppings except the sausage.You get the sausage from a place like The Garrett Station and replace it in this pizza and you have yourself a nearly perfect pie. The generosity of the toppings was considered in this review. With all the great pizza spots around here with perfect toppings all around my 4 star could've easily been a 3. On a good note the staff was friendly and polite and the establishment was very clean. When doing a review it all boils down to two things! Will I return again? Will I recommend this spot? And the answer is "yes and yes"! A message to the owners. I know it's been working but have an alternate sausage! read more

I chose this restaurant because I wanted fried raviolis. Instead of letting us know they were out of them, didn't charge us and now ravioli's with our delivery. I ordered the grilled chicken breast sandwich and I got finally chopped chicken, not a whole breast, mixed in with the lettuce, tomatoes and onion, disgusting. Never again. read more

This is our go to place for a good pizza that isn't expensive or one of this wood fire personal sized pizzas. They have consistently delivered every time we have ordered. I haven't tried any of their other menu items but the pizza has been good. It's a small spot in a small strip mall that has a laundromat and a smoke shop so there isn't much seating inside. A few small tables at most so definitely a grab and go spot. So glad they have online ordering cause when I'm in a pinch for dinner I can order when I leave work and get there in time to pick up a hot pizza. Sometimes they have deals that are pretty decent as well. read more

I think it's strong point is it's price. The customer service and atmosphere is a little lacking. But the pizza is good for what it is. Definitely cheaper than most places. read more

I've been going here for years and I've seen the same people always working so hard. It truly amazes me to see older people work so hard while young people do so little But i digress.

It's truly one of the best pizza places in San Jose that's a true mom and pop spot! read more

My family has been going to Checker's Pizza for over 15 years. We love it! The pizza is always delicious, with the perfect amount of toppings and great crust + thickness.

RIP To Whom It May Concern, Today CHECKERS PASSED AWAY ! It's sad to because I been FuckN with Y'all 4 a minute and it was pretty cool . Don't necessarily be feelN commercial pizza joints like the p-hut or domi's . Y'all prices are very cool . Great selections to choose from . Loving the Sesame seed pizza crust choice and great specials! Sooo usually I never ordered nothing else but the pizza and the pasta they have ! Pretty Good for the price and definitely not a " pizza-pizza" either ! I ordered a pizza w/ half cheese and half beef.olive,tomato and xtra cheese and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and PLEASE have your deliverer provide me the packaged Parmesan cheese please ( is what I asked) ! Total was 35$ and some change in 30 mins he said ! The place is about 4 miles away from me so 30 minute wait was typical ! Yeah!!!!! Food arrives on time ! ( TY Ol man) It's freezing and I was grateful for his time and service so I tipped the guy 8$ on top as I ASSUMED the order would be ALL GOOD !!!! NOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! WHERES THE BEEF( Ol lady from a vintage Wendy's Hamburger Commercial) ! I wasn't phillN that anorexic philly steak sandwich ! No flavor, I can count the so called sautéed onion, mushroom, bell pepper mix w/ 1 hand . The cheese was more like transparent mozzarella over the - StayK=steak that stayed away from my sandwich and the bread ... Let me just stop right NOW and do a BAMBI !! Bambi= if U can't say nothing nice then don't say nothing @ALL ! The XL PIZZA was half steppN 2Day as well ! DAaaaaaaammmmmN WTF is wrong with Y'all 2Day ???? I was .... Soooooo I called and some semi loud mouth answered the phone . I was very CCC ( cool , calm and collective) as I explained the precise details of the the reasons y I called . Started out smooth until he began to interrupt me w/ mumble jumble about what is costumed to his norm. To end the blah blah blah of all what I'm reporting is this ..... 1. Don't ever get comfortable w/your norm 2. Keep your expectations at very average 3. Once your pizza guy blows it and you decide to call in about it .... Your fucked and I would suggest saying good bye unless you don't mind taking a risk of receiving a mystery / unknown ingredient from the chef in your food because U pissed the joint OFF calling or complaining over your screwed up order that you barely found funding to receive!!! (As if ) RIP CHECKERS WAS NICE WHILE IT LASTED . read more

Mmmm! I was really craving for pizza and the pizza here defintely satisfied my cravings! I ordered a large bacon lovers supreme (white garlic sauce with bacon, candian bacon, italian sauaage, green onions and fresh tomatoes) and it was seriously sooo good! It was actually kind of pricey for large ($20ish) but it was soo worth it! Just make sure you find some coupons before coming here! The store is kind of small. There's a couple of seats inside and outside. Service here is ok. Walked in and looked at the huge menu on the wall. The menu was big and easy to read. Placed my order and the wait was about 15 minutes. Not much around the area besides a couple of stores. Parking is small, but ok. Overall, yummy pizza. Good place to pick up pizza or order for delivery :) I want to go back and try their breadsticks! read more
