    Amazing pizza that has a New York style to it. From the crust to the sauce and the toppings, this pizza is the BEST I've ever had. I highly recommend their cheese, margarita, and empire of meats. They also have tasty garlic twists and pretty sweet desserts. Will be back o

    Perfect pizza!

    EXCELLENT pizza! Crispy, thin slice, chewy with a nice char. My style of pizza. Everything is made in house! We were in San Ramon for a wedding and ordered from here on a whim and it was a nice surprise because I'm hard to please when it comes to pizza. We came back here the next day before leaving San Ramon! If you're a local, you're lucky to have this establishment nearby, this place is a staple.

    Custom made pizzas (cheese only, sausage/meatball/mushroom, & pepperoni/sausage/bell pepper.

    We ordered large two topping. It was half/half. It was perfect. Service was great over the phone. Pizza was a hit tonight. Go support small businesses!

    Thin crust take and bake

    Ordered a couple pizzas do New Year's Eve and the pizza was great once again. Good local pizza place

    Yummy veggie & combo slices (slice=2 pieces)

    4.5 wholeheartedly rounded up to 5 stars For traditional, thin crust or New York-style pizza, Big Apple Pizza is THE place to go in the Tri-Valley. Worth searching out this location on the far end of the Walmart building, past CVS, and around the dentist on the corner. Located in the former Pizza Hut location, facing Village Parkway. Takeout only but a park is located right next door for al fresco dining. So good I visited twice in 1 week. Slices and whole pies available. Premium prices but I'm OK with that because of the 1) high quality ingredients: cheese tasted like cheese, pepperoni like pepperoni, etc. 2) generous portion: slice is as big as a paper plate, they cut the slice into 2 slices for easier consumption 3) nice staff: the daughter served me on my 1st visit and the brother of the owner served me on my 2nd. Both patiently answered my questions. Taking all these into consideration, the pizza is a good value. Only tried slices because they're huge, sized like Costco slices. But taste much better than Costco. Love how the crust is tender with a crispy bottom. No flop despite the abundance of toppings. So far, tried the garlic chicken, combo, veg, and Greek supreme. Only wish they offered some of the bolder Indian fusion flavors like tandoori chicken and achari gobi. Tip: If living more than a couple of miles away, ask for the slices to be toasted extra crispy to prevent soggy bottoms. Mom lives on the San Ramon-Danville border with at least 4 pizza joints closer to her house than Big Apple. It is a 15-20 minute drive to this location. Nevertheless, now that I've found the place, it is worth the drive when the craving for pizza hits. Can't wait to discover the rest of the menu.

    We have been to this place for a few times because it's close to my house. Normally we order online and pick up in store. Not much of interaction with anyone. Today, I tried to order online again, but the system failed. So I called in for this time. Upon entering, I was greeted by the staff. I believe it's the owner who helped me. Super friendly. Store was clean. Menu was very simple and clear. I needed to wait for a few minutes because he remade my pizza as the original one was over cooked. He made sure the quality of his food and had a happy customer. Honoring the price for the two toppings instead of charging me speciality price; there's a miscommunication via the phone. We will keep coming although there's so many competitive pizza places out there. Customer service matters.

We started with the Crispy Cauliflower, coated with tempura batter and served with lemon aioli; Roasted Brussels Sprouts, topped with chili flakes & Parmesan and served in a cast iron skillet; and the Hummus, topped with Pepitas and served with thin, crispy parm'd pizza bread. The Chopped Kale Salad came with apple, radish, carrot, cotija, and Pepitas, all tossed in a tangy pomegranate vinaigrette; and the Chickpea Salad also had a base of kale topped with chickpeas, roasted sweet potato/carrot, and charred halloumi, and dressed with herbed pesto. The highlight of the menu was their creative pizzas, which you could order either on a thin, crispy Neapolitan crust, or on a thick, soft, square-shaped Detroit-style base with crispy baked cheese edges. The Fun Guy came with porcini cream, mushroom, onion, goat cheese, and pecorino; and the Hail Mary came with beer braised chicken, caramelized onion, cotija, garlic, and Calabrian chili oil, which gave the pizza a flavorful spicy kick. Overall, my favorite items were the Hummus with aromatic pizza bread; and the tantalizingly spicy Detroit-style Hail Mary, but everything was tasty and came at a good value and with quick service too!

    I was on my way home from work and didn't feel like cooking in this heatwave. I pass by Curry Pizza…read moreHouse (on Alcosta) every day on my way home from work and decided to try it. I am now a fan! At the suggestion of Obed (a delightful employee here), I ordered the Butter Chicken pizza and threw in cilantro and green onion, and OMG, this is now my go-to pizza. They have a good selection of beer from India and they also have a few Firestone draft beer selections. The pizza crust was perfect, the chicken tender and the butter sauce was a tad bit spicy but flavorful. I usually like to dip my pizza in Ranch or put parmesan cheese on top. This Butter Chicken Pizza needed nothing. I will definitely be back, and if you're around the area, please try the Butter Chicken Pizza. I nearly ate a whole kid pizza myself! Cheers!

When we visited, there were large groups dining in, customers coming in for takeout, and new guests arriving for dinner. It definitely gave us the feeling that this place is popular -- and it must be good LOL Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was still attentive and friendly. We felt so welcomed! We originally planned to order two pizzas, but we were tempted by their new pasta collection, so we ended up getting the Chicken Bacon Supreme Pizza and Alfredo Pasta. The pizza was amazing because the creamy white sauce, tender chicken, crispy bacon, and generous toppings all worked so well together. I loved the pasta too! They balanced the spices perfectly, which really made the dish stand out. And don't miss their mango lassi! It's incredibly smooth and refreshing, with a fresh mango flavor that you can really taste. Definitely a place worth coming back to. I can't wait to try more of their curry pizzas next time! - Chicken Bacon Supreme - Alfredo Pasta - Garlic Sticks w/ Jalapenos & Pineapple - Seasoned Fries - Mango Lassi

    I was originally going to get pizza from Mountain Mikes by then decided to go to Pizza My Heart…read morelast minute. This is actually the first time that I ordered a whole pizza from here. I have only gotten slices in the past that have been sitting for a while. Even though they heat it up, it's not the same as freshly made. I ordered a half Big Sur and half Maui Wowie. I got there soon after I ordered, and they had my pizza ready. I think I got lucky because someone else who had ordered before me with the same order, wasn't there yet, so they gave me that pizza. At least, I think that's why they swapped out the labels on the box. Anyway, the pizza was yummy. Bug Sur has cloves of roasted garlic. So good. They did not skim on the toppings. The kids loves the Maui Wowie. My husband and the two kids ate most of the 18" pizza. Bonus: there was a $7 off promo, so I got the 18" pizza for less than the 14" at Mountain Mikes, and I think it's better pizza. This is my local go to from now on.

I sent a message to their contact on the website and nobody bothered to reach out on this. Really disappointing since I liked their pizza. Definitely won't be going back after this. For anyone buying single slices or any Too Good to Go orders from this Pizza My Heart location need to think twice.
