When you drive by a new establishment, try it out, and discover your all new favorite by-the-slice pizza place. I was around Kaiser and caught eyes on panCoast. Made a note to stop by after a very thorough Yelp search. The slices of pizzas look amazing and I enjoy New York style since it's the absolute perfect ratio for topping lovers. I was originally planning to have pizza dinner on a Friday night but was already in downtown Walnut Creek. Decided to stop in. Upon entry all of the staff, from the chefs to the gentleman behind the counter were in good moods. Definitely a great sign of the good that was to come. The person who helped me with my order (sorry I didn't get your name) was super cool. Ended up leaving with three slices of pizza. Now if you know dtwc, you know there are countless options for pizzas and Italian food. I would still urge you to try panCoast. Great vibes with a small business feel. It offers fantastic options, by-the-slice, and you can totally taste the fresh ingredients. Totally thrilled with this discovery! read more

I ordered a simple cheese pizza from here from Doordash. The pizza is was a good cheese pizza. It wasn't gooey, like paper when you folded a slice or full of oiliness. It was just right, hit the nail on the head. I haven't been inside, but am looking to my first dine in meal. The servcie is was prompt. I didn't have to wait for my food. read more

We love their pizza, the great service and staff & their fun lotteries via their text program! Love that it's so close to home!

A little pizza joint in WC that seems to fly under the radar. Seems like a IYKYK type of place. The staff is very friendly and the pizza is delicious. The pizza dough is the perfect texture and the crust is so good!! You can order pizza whole or by the slice. We did 1 North End pizza and a few slices of cheese and Margherita for the kiddos. There isn't a ton of seating, so next time, we'll probably order for pick up, but I'm glad we finally checked it out. read more

The pizza is amazing and almost equally as good as pizza you can get on the east coast. Like it says in the name, this is a good substitute to get east coast style pizza if you can't go to the east coast or if you'd like to try any on the west coast. The garlic knots are also delicious as well and the service is really good too. The staff are all very nice and the ambiance has good decorations and a comfortable setting. While the prices are a bit high, it still is worth checking this place out for the pizza and other items. But for sure the pizza is the best in California. read more

Had high hopes. But there was legit no one inside, shoulda been a sign. My pizza was okay but my cousins was not good at all. We ordered a slice each and it looked like it had been sitting in the warmer for hours, like who doesn't like fresh pizza come on. Garlic nots needed more seasoning and the marinara sauce was cold! Everything but the salad came out on disposable plates since the place was so full and busy that they couldn't be bothered to wash a few dishes (sense the sarcasm) Fountain soda was flat and watery and when the worker lady went to check it, she said the syrup was full and didn't know what root beer tasted like so couldn't tell if it was off ???? I mean when the color is see through, that means it's off. Anyways a huge disappointment, idk if management doesn't care or what but I'd imagine this place won't be around much longer if they continue this lack of care. Staff was loud in their personal conversations and music from a personal phone drowned out the music in place which was actually pretty good. I guess that's it, good luck to this business and anyone who gets fooled into trying it. Oh and the pacman machine was broken..... read more

A great place to grab a slice and a root beer, pizza was great, service was amazing, check it out if your in the area, I also had fun painting the Holiday Window art mural. Thanks for supporting local artist www.ChrsGranilloArt.com read more

Great customer service. The new owner is wayyyy nicer than the previous one. Great food 100%. Love going there when I can

I would rate this place a 5 star--I've been going for years and it's amazing. However, more recently I've noticed the quality slowly decline. I don't know if it's because different cooks and staff or what. Not that it's bad pizza or anything just compared to how it used to be.. I don't know. I won't stop going, but they need to do something about that. read more

My doctor wanted to test me for my reaction to gluten. Can do! I said. I stopped into panCoast pizza and ordered a pepperoni slice to-go. It took less than a minute to heat and they gave it to me in a personal pan-pizza sized box. The service was friendly and prompt and they had 3-4 styles to choose from for the single slices. They also have student discounts and quite a bit of inside seating (though no seating outside). I headed out and found a sunny spot to sit in, took a bite and adored my slice! I tend to love thin New York style pizza and this was perfectly done with just the right amount of cheese, pepperoni, and crunch. It was mouthwatering and absolutely delicious. All in all, five stars down the line and I will definitely be coming back for another slice! read more

I am an ex-NY pizza snob jerkface and I'm here to say this is the best slice I have found in California. I've stalked slices from San Diego to SF and this is straight up NYC perfection. The one to beat, nothing has come close. I was driving from Sac to Monterey and made this special stop and now I have a reason to return to the area. Just stellar. read more

Ordered food for take out through yelp and it was "meh" at best. Pizza arrived cold, salad "family" portion was small with very little dressing. Originally ordered tomato and meatballs and they sent me another small salad instead. I called them to let them know of their mistake and was asked if I wanted to tell my door dasher to come back??? I have no control of that so how would I do that?? lol. Then he asked "so what do you want to do" a refund duh! So now I have to wait 2-3 days. Hopefully he remember to ask his boss. Sigh. read more

panCoast pizza - Not the pasta I ordered :( - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

It has been a couple of months since I have visited last - so I am not too sure what to make of this. My brother and I frequented this place after seeing it featured on All A's with Brodie Brazil. They never disappointed. Food was all good on our visits. But I visited tonight and found out they close at 8PM now? Unreal. They don't accept cash for payment. Real bummer. It also seems as if the menu shrank a bit. Have I stepped into the twilight zone? I would have given it 2 stars, but it was kind of on me since I strolled in before they closed. I was unaware they had updated hours. I should have figured they were closing up since the TV with all the menu items was off. I am actually eating my meatball grinder in the parking lot as I type this. I'll give it another chance on another day. We all have bad days. Hopefully my experience will be a bit better next time. read more

I've passed by this place a few times and finally had the chance to try it. They have a M-F student special for $5 and there's also a Kaiser combo too! Service was great here and they were very nice and gave some recs too. The inside is comfy and cozy and gives an old school vibe. Great for families and a lot of locals. There is a parking lot outside along with street parking. I came in a weekday night and was able to get parking immediately. I tried quite a few things and loved them all. The thick cheese pizza my grandma loved. I tried their arugula salad it was very well made. The garlic knots were the perfect texture. The wings had heat and a kick paired perfectly went their dipping sauce. I tried their combo pizza 12 inch and it was plenty to share! Affordable priced and great for a hangout or casual date. read more

Welp never coming in here again. I've been a long time customer at this establishment since they opened literally as soon as they opened, and it was a little tiny shop. I just stopped in to get a piece of pizza and look how small it is. What a joke. They also change the pepperoni to the little stupid ones. It's too bad Bob would've never done that. I'm taking my money elsewhere. Could've went up the street to Slice House and got a giant piece of pizza for the same price. read more

I've been craving that thin-crust, NYC-style pizza and came across Pan Coast Pizza in Walnut Creek, CA. @PanCoast_Pizza. I ordered a dozen wings, fried to perfection--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. For the pizza, I went with an 18-inch, half Ben Franklin and half Meatzazola. The amount of meat on such a thin crust was impressive! A sprinkle of red pepper flakes made it even better. I also love that they serve local sodas from Oakland. My go-to mix? Cola, root beer, and cream soda. If you're ever in Walnut Creek, definitely check them out! Pan Coast pizza on Main Street, Walnut Creek, CA. read more

Wife saw the place driving by and was curious but we got disappointed. Monday , 3:10pm store is empty - we decided for 2 slices and some garlic nots. The pizza came with the nots but no sauce to dip- waitress said she brings it, also the salad we ordered as part of the meal. The pizza had been sitting on the shelf for some time already, came Luke warm and saggy. The "meat" pizza slice had so little meat it could have passed for plain with Peperoni sample... I had to look for the waitress to finally get the salad and the dipping sauce (found her in the storage), she obviously forgot about salad and dipping. The garlic nots had very little garlic. All that for 32 $, tip included. read more

Customer Service out of this world. Friendly and helpful. Food was great . Pizza by the slice was convenient for lunch . The crust was very good and just the right amount of toppings. Glad I came here. Will come back if ever in the area. read more

Wow!!! I stumbled onto this place and I'll be a customer for LIFE. Absolutely wonderful pizza. Far better than I hoped for. I tried cheese and one pepperoni. Oh my gosh were they good . And I'm fickle about my cheese pizza. The restaurant was very clean and with nice TV's playing. What a great spot. The sauce was bright and fresh on thin crust and the crust was perfectly cooked. As Arnold said, I'll be back. It's a must try!!!! read more

Absolutely best pizza around! The meat toppings are always seasoned so well and fresh!! The Margherita pizza is literally perfection here!!

Stopped by to grab some pizza with my family on a recent trip to The Bay. As a native New Yorker, this is one of the best NY style pizzas I have had outside of NYC. We got the plain cheese pizza but added garlic to it and that was the icing on the cake. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and very upbeat. Loved how they loved their jobs and where they worked. Plus the music was old school hip hop which makes it even more NY. read more

It's not the same since the ownership changed. The pizza is subpar. And the freaky bot got my order wrong. I had two bad pizzas within two weeks. I am sad. But I am happy that I got to enjoy Pancoast when the pizza was amazing. read more

Let's start out with the inside. It seems somewhat small, but still big enough to seat a few groups of people. They have tv's on which they seen to show sports games (when we went in MLB was on). I felt like there was a faint strange odor. The service was decent. They bring the food over to the table. The seats are kind of strange, in my opinion. They had forgotten our cups for the drinks but quickly remedied the situation when I asked about it. The drinks weren't anything to rave about. The Caesar salad had some type of citrus on it which was different. The pizza itself was average as was the price for everything. I ended up buying a chocolate chip cookie which I learned is made in-house. I shared it with my daughter later, but was not a fan, personally. Overall, it's okay, but I'm not sure if we'll go back. read more

We recently moved to the area and Pan Coast Pizza quickly became our go-to spot. The first few times we ordered, the pizza was pretty good, but lately it's been disappointing. We ordered again tonight and the pizza was overcooked with barely any toppings, sauce, or cheese. Honestly, it was one of the worst pizzas I've had. I'm giving them 2 out of 5 stars--mostly because the order was correct and, well, it's still pizza. Their text deals are great, but the quality just isn't there anymore. Time to try somewhere new. read more

First off no bots to take the orders. That way maybe the order won't be delayed 30 minutes. Second, your pizza is over cooked, over priced, over salty, under dressed, and overall pathetic. read more

I have been going to PanCoast pizza since it opened. The original owner made sure to serve quality food and a reasonable price. Last night I bought two 18" pizzas that were thin as paper, very little cheese and toppings for $85.00!!!! The boxes weighed more than the pizzas! I know everything has gone up in price but come on, $85 for paper thin pizza is ridiculous. When a customer gets value and quality, they will come back. I'm not coming back here. read more

If you are in Walnut Creek, you have to check out pancoast pizza ! Weekdays 11am to 5pm students also get a discount for a slice of pizza and a drink for only $5! This is the first restaurant I've seen in the bay carry Alameda Point locally batched craft soda! All made with came sugar we went through and tried each one and just the soda alone is enough of a reason to come back. They don't just have soda but beer on tap, too! For food our first order was a cheesesteak and it came to us so fresh there was still stream coming from the meat But we can't forget the stars of the show, the Meatzazola and the White Cap pizza! The Meatzazola was a delicious garlic and meat filled pizza that you will not be able to stop eating it's so addicting. And the White Cap is a perfect blend of chicken bacon and white sauce that you can't put down! I seriously don't think I could order one without the other. They are both just so good! read more

My husband and I were waiting on the arrival of our baby boy at Kaiser Walnut Creek. We missed dinner for the night so we wanted something quick and nearby. Last meal before baby was a delicious pizza from panCoast pizza. I did not get to physically go into the business, but my husband had the pleasure of meeting nice staff who set him up with a beer while he waited for the pizza. He said they were super friendly and helpful. read more

Have eaten here many times as they have the closet Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had. Within the past 6 months, the cheesesteaks I've ordered have been totally different. Meat quite spicy & just doesn't taste the same. I then heard that there was a new owner & that perhaps is the reason why. Won't return as frequently as before. Still think they have a good pizza & Caesar but wish the steaks were the same. read more

The food was amazing, had a nice slice of cheese pizza there, plain and simple can go a long way! the service was very friendly and attentive so it was really nice to see that and it wasn't busy during lunch hour i hope it gets busier soon because this pizza place is awesome! 10/10 read more

I'm a native New Yorker, from just north of the city, I love New York style pizza, always have. I had a friend recommend Pancoast Pizza about 10+ years ago.. was, and is the best New York style pizza I've had in California.. that being said, I went there today and they don't take cash. I cannot support a business that does not take American legal tender in the United States.. bye Pancoast.. Bob, I can't believe you no longer take cash.. legal American tender...

Had the urge for pizza and wanted to support this Lamorinda-based pizzeria. Greeted by cashier and the kitchen staff. Ordered a combo, margherita, wings, cheesesteak, salad, and garlic knots. We ordered a draft beer and also some Alameda Point craft sodas. Let me start by saying that the garlic knots are awesome- they're also a Yelp check-in special. The pizza was thin crust style and really good. The wings were nice and chewy with buffalo sauce, Cheesesteak was good too. The Caesar salad had a good dressing but was a little hard to eat since the romaine was cut small and we had plastic utensils... hard to stab lol. Friendly service, nice restaurant interior... we'll be back! read more
