    This is the one churro cut into six small pieces for $10.99

    Tried this pizzeria because of the good reviews but I'm now thinking these are friends and family because the pizzas were flavorless and nothing special and I could move past that but also the photos on their website have to be taken from the internet because they look nothing like what we got first the garlic fries tasted old and like they were heated up in the microwave and garlic thrown on top. The churros pictured show full size churros and cost 10.99 and what we got was the equivalent to one churro cut into six small pieces. The service was rude and unwelcoming and chaotic. The ambiance was dirty and confusing. Only the Hispanic woman who handed me my order who I'm guessing is baking was polite and nice. This was my first and last time at this disappointing pizzeria.

    Veggie pizza, fresh and hot.

    We came here specifically to watch the Golden State Valkyries game on the big screen. We called ahead and they put it on for us! Very friendly staff. We were pleased with our pizza. They do not serve any no-alcohol beer and that was a big disappointment, might prevent us from returning because we do like beer with our pizza. But thats not a criticism of their food or service.

    I don't know why this place is called Pisseria - the spelling is actually such on the outside. Google searches are so important - and if people can't find your restaurant on Google or Doordash how can you expect to get customers? Every time I've gone there are not all that many people. It seems take out is a thing and that is a shame since it is such a beautiful restaurant. New and clean and friendly - and all these take out people miss the best part of the place - the arcade that is next door. I will always think that Susie Qs has the best Philly Cheese sandwich. If you are the owner or manager - please go there and order one of those and note the cost, the quality and overall taste. I've had the sandwiches here and they are fine - the pizza is also better than fine - and I think that is good since kids don't want gourmet or craft - they just want plain and simple... I might aim to make craft sandwiches for adults with high nosed taste and I might try to make the pizza catered to kids and teens or very young adults. Low cost and plain. Kids don't want craft - they want plain cheese pizza. Simple and catered to kids. The spelling of Pizza also needs to be spelled correctly so it can be easily searched on Door Dash and Google - I think the owners tried to change the spelling of "Pizza

    Service was instant, and we only saw one other customer while we were there on a Saturday evening, the entire restaurant and adjacent amusement center (Sector 19 laser tag and arcade) dead on this day. Lots of dining room seating available, and plenty of TV's too. Got a large pizza, half Hayward, half Chicken Bacon Ranch, and it was delicious. Not the highest quality, but the toppings were flavorful, balanced and evenly spread, combined with ample melted cheese, a crispy crust, and ranch sauce served on the side at no extra cost. A positive experience overall.

    A group of us went to Craft Pizzeria by Niche after trick-or-treating on Halloween with the kids. We got there a little late, so the arcade area was closing, but one of the employees kindly gave the kids 15 more minutes to play, which I really appreciated. We ordered two pizzas, buffalo wings, and mozzarella sticks. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. The pepperoni pizza was cheesy and delicious, while the garlicky chicken pizza could've used a bit more flavor in the sauce. The mozzarella sticks were decent but nothing special. The buffalo wings were the star of the night!They were super flavorful, hot, and perfectly cooked. They also have great ranch! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great for families. Overall, it's a nice spot to relax, eat, and hang out with the kids.

    SO GOOD!!!! This space is located in downtown Hayward and although I came at a pretty late hour, I'm sure this place gets packed on the weekends. Owner Niche is super down to earth and vibes with his customers-- even gave us some sample wing flavors he's trying out. Food 10/10. Usually don't reach for wet wings but these were fire. Garlic Parmesan personally my fav-- it's delicious with the ranch and still delicious without. Found myself searching for spare chicken in my fridge just to soak up the extra sauce and not let it go to waste LOL. The actual place is very spacious and can host big parties. Family friendly feel and also could lowkey pass as a sports bar. This was my first time trying and I will definitely be back for more!

    Doors were locked and closed when I showed up to get my online order

    I don't know what the f*** is up with these people, but they are NEVER open at night. I'm surprised nobody has really called them out about it except like one other person. Their signs (and the Van parked around the corner!!) always say open until 3:30AM NIGHTLY, but the doors are locked and nobody is there starting as early as MIDNIGHT sometimes. I just placed an order online last night around 2am, and I actually CALLED the listed phone number on Google to confirm being open. It was noisy and loud in the background so the guy couldn't really hear me, and he hung up. But I took that as them being open and finished completing the online order. It went through. Lo and behold I show up, and the doors to the back entrance are locked! I walk around to the front, LIGHTS OUT doors locked! Then my online order was canceled! Then I suspiciously see random people walking towards the backside again and go through a different door; I drive off and towards the front entrance 10 minutes later, ALL A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON and people are there! But they look too familiar with eachother, as in the place only opened up for FRIENDS, NOT CUSTOMERS. WHAT THE FK!!!! CHANGE THE HOURS and stop advertising as being open until 3:30am if YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME!!! But it's just as well because I didn't trust the energy anymore, I'm sure only dirty a** people work there now if this is how unprofessional they are these days. Like why are they even still in business then??

    If you haven't tried this pizza yet, you're missing out! I stopped in for lunch because a friend recommended it to me and it did not disappoint. I had the Hayward pizza and I would have it again and again and again. Perfect amount of sauce to topping ratio. The personal was just the perfect size for me. I will definitely be back sooner than later. The service was awesome, checked on me and made sure everything was to my liking. Great atmosphere, it was clean and inviting. A wonderful place to bring a big group of friends or family and very kid friendly. Such a pleasure dining with you guys. I'll see you soon!

    What should I do?  Order a slice or head to the toilet?  lol :D

    I came by late after a visit to a friend in a skilled nursing center post-surgery and running some errands, so it was around 10 PM. I had checked, and I was told the kitchen was going to be open until the middle of the night, and it was, so that worked out well. But after I got there, I noticed there was no one inside, except for a table with two guys. Turned out they were working there and were on their meal break. So one guy gets up to take my order, but he's obviously in a rush to get back to his late dinner, since he was clearly not happy that I was not immediately ready to order. I get that you're hungry after a long night, but I did not intentionally come by to interrupt your dinner, and apparently you're still on the clock. So I would have appreciated some patience in explaining the sizes of the pizza and also the beers you had on tap. I eventually ordered a small Combination pizza with a glass of Maui Waui draft. I picked a table and waited...and waited. I was wondering why my order was taking a while when there was no one else in the dining room and there were also no Door Dashers or other drivers or patrons picking up to go orders. It was also just normal crust and not deep dish, so it should've been out fairly fast. Then I noticed that the guy who took my order finally got up from the table after finishing his meal to go into the kitchen. After another long wait, the pizza came at last. And then I realized he was probably the one also cooking the pizzas. And he didn't start my order until he nonchalantly finished his dinner. I think that's really poor time management. You need to stagger the workers and their meal times, so someone is always in the kitchen. The pizza itself was ok. It was pretty much similar to what you would get at Round Table in taste and presentation. And, honestly, that's not a hard knock; I do think RoundTable Pizza is all right...for chain pizza. The dining hall is actually well-lit, new, and replete with nice big screens all over the walls. The tables, though, were not well-cleaned with patches of grease stains still visible. When I left and looked up at the neon signage more closely outside above the door, I laughed. It perfectly metaphorically summed up how I felt about the service and long wait. Freudian slip? Or just sleepy sign installers? Do I come in to order an Italian pie or head to the restroom? Both? (See my pic.)

    This spot is sooo vibey! There is a full arcade & tons of parking which makes it great for parties! For all the Egyptian locals you must make it in here when the Fateer guy, Mina, is here! He is here from 12 to 6pm every day & serving up the best fateer (Egyptian Pizza) in the Bay Area. We ordered the Chicken & it was 10 out of 10!

    I will say the personal pizza I got was delicious but the service was terrible. They would apologize yet made me feel like why was I questioning where my food was. It took close to an hour why so many other people that ordered after us got their orders. I had to go up to the counter several times and they would always say they will bring it out but after 30 mins then 10 and another 10 I had to stand and wait for my food. They would say that my dough was being made and that it would be 30 mins then after that they would say that someone touched my box so they had to make another one but I was already mad and it takes a lot for me to get to that point with food service. They gave me the box they claim someone else touched and when another pizza came out another customer was trying to get it but they gave it to me thinking that makes up for everything...I shouldn't have waited that long for a small pizza. When ordering, the guy didn't even give me a receipt, just a number. It was very busy in there snd I understand but I paid for my food and only got half of what I ordered. My friend was finished with her food by the time I finally got mine because I waited right by the kitchen door. Late late night is really busy with loud rowdy customers after the night out from drinking at near by bars. A fight broke out close to their closing time and there security was in the back but came in to kick everyone one out. We had talked to the security guy before coming in and when he saw us I told him I just got my food let me eat a little bit he said we can stay. My friend was glad cause we did not want to walk out with the rowdy crowd. When most of the crowd cleared out their time was closing we left. They have a front snd back door entrance. There were still a few customers that didn't get their order when we left. I would like to give 3 stars but 2 was just cause they really made me feel like I needed to wait that long. I'm wondering if that was because I didn't opt to tip at pay out because I had a feeling the service would suck and it did. I would have been more angry if I tipped and would have had the experience I had. With a large crowd of people coming in don't expect it. I for one will not return in the late night. A lot of other people there we ended up talking to said they take forever to bring out the food. I really felt like they was mad at me for wondering where my food that I paid for was, it's like they just made me wait I can say they did handle the rowdy situation ok but it just seems like it will happen again. I don't know how they can fix that but people want to eat after drinking and I'm glad they are open that late for those but I do believe it will be crazy like that one Friday Saturday evenings so expect a long wait and get your receipt. It won't matter to them you have a receipt though but it is paper proof for yourself I only had the number and when I came to the girl at the counter she took it but when I said I didn't get my food she went n asked in the back. The manager gave me my number back but I'll be talking in circles at this point. I guess my advice is what ever number you hand out make sure it's on the receipt you hand to the kitchen so they people will get their orders correct. It really seem like they thought just cause we got the bread sticks we were finished but really when completing an order that's when you take the number away (that was my only proof)

My largest complaint is that the meat is all centered in the middle so it looks like you get a ton of meat but about 1/3 of the sandwich is empty. It's a decent option if you're craving a sandwich but the meat discrepancy makes the sandwich feel cheap.

    Newish sandwich spot for the area so of course I had to try. They're set up like a chain, clean,…read moreorganized with a system that seems to know what it is doing. But don't think there are multiple locations...yet. Upon receiving my sandwiches, it was wrapped in a paper with their company logo, and from a quick glance it is super similar to the Jersey Mikes logo in terms of color, so it has a real familiar vibe. No hate just an observation. This used to be another restaurant (maybe even several) on the edge of an industrial zone/business park, but also not too far from several shopping strips. There's spacious seating inside, but in the later afternoon when I went, nobody was eating in. But quite a few take-out and third party pick-ups. I even saw a poster showcasing their catering aspect for common work lunches on the company dime. Good for them. Niles Canyon ($14.50/4*) I opted to up this to their combo meal which includes a bag of chips and a soda for another $5. So this was easily a $20 lunch meal without tipping yet. Pricey yes, but not because they are pricier than most, but that is just the going rate for eating a meal outside these days. $15 - $20 per person are common and anything under $15 is now considered cheap eats and getting harder to run into. This sandwich had slightly warmed up deli turkey that when stacked with the swiss cheese slices, kinda softened the cheese. It wasn't ooey gooey but the cheese wasn't firm and cold either. There was another layer of prosciutto as well which wasn't too noticeable but did add another dimension. I chose to go with the full produce choice, as I love the freshness of veggies to go with meat sandwiches. There was also a layer of fresh avo slices which lent a creamy richness to the bites. I tried one of their sliced breads to go for this sandwich, as I tried a sourdough roll for another sandwich that I got to-go for my work lunch the next day. That way I got to sample their bread offerings. Their sliced marbled rye bread is thick sliced, very soft and moist with a good bread chew. They use a good bread supplier for sure. On top of mayo and mustard which is common, they also put their Bomb Sauce which seems like a garlic-y spread of sorts. I can definitely smell it, but the taste isn't overly strong. I'd say super similar to Mr Pickles. Prosciutto Sandwich ($13/4*) This was an all-cold traditional sandwich. I took a couple of bites there to see how it was fresh from the counter, and I ate the rest the next day at work. I gotta say I liked it better the next day as all the flavors melded more together. Even tho the veggies get a bit mushier, I've always liked a well dressed salad sensation in sandwiches, kinda like a Muffeletta sandwich where it is refrigerated overnight, meant to be eaten the next day. Their prosciutto isn't the old school imported version, or at least I've never had one quite like it. I'm assuming a domestic version, even seemed more like cappicola to me as I sensed a tinge of fennel up in there. So pretty satisfied with my first visit. I'll definitely get sandwiches here again for work or day trip lunches. Pretty much on the same level as Togo's or Mr. Pickles, but just more local. With sandwich names as The Quarry Lakes, The Decoto and The Dumbarton, just pulls on my local lovin' heartstrings. Props.

It wasn't packed at 5pm on a Sunday, but they were busy with to-go orders. I ordered a Michael Jordan (meatball sub) on a Dutch Crunch and it could've had more sauce because the meatball was a bit dry. My husband ordered Beast Mode (fried chicken and bacon) served with dirty sauce on a Dutch Crunch and it was the perfect combination in terms of flavor and the amount of ingredients. They don't have the cleanest outdoor seating, but we still sat outside to enjoy the weather. The staff were friendly and polite. Good spot to pick up a sandwich if you're craving one.
