Stopped by this downtown pizza spot today (Friday around 5pm) and it was the perfect time to go--not too crowded at all. We ordered the Margherita and the Diavola, and both were excellent. The Margherita had the perfect balance of tomato sauce and cheese--simple, fresh, and done right. But the Diavola really stole the show: super flavorful with just the right kick of spice. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the quality was spot on. Easily my favorite pizza joint downtown. Can't wait to come back! read more

Yeah Pizza Bocca Lupo is a solid option for San Pedro Square, but overall, I think it's a bit overrated. If you're hanging out with friends in San Pedro Square, it's quite alright. Otherwise I would never come here. The lunch special is a decent deal, otherwise The pizza is quite pricy and the quality is just ok. I would much rather go to slice of homage / square pie guys which is not too far away. Enough talk. read more

Stumbled into the neck of the woods for the futbol game at the good old San Pedro, in search of grub and brewskies. Pizza Bocca Lupo and another caught our eye. Food: A Artisan-style thin crust pizza fresh from the wood-fired oven--no complaints here. This style hits the flavor notes without being too heavy. It's great to share without being too filling while sampling other grub in the area. Vibe: B Service: B read more

Pizza Bocca Lupo is a solid wood-fired pizza spot right in the heart of San Pedro Square. The margherita was excellent: simple ingredients done right, with a nicely charred crust that had great texture. Exactly what you want from a wood-fired pie. We also grabbed a bottle of red wine to go with it, which was a nice pairing. The wine list is limited, but they offer both full and half bottle options, which is a thoughtful touch. Add in the live music happening in the square while we ate, and it made for a really enjoyable outing overall. read more

Always a hit. When I'm not making Neapolitan pies at home this is the second best choice for me! The pies are always 10/10! The crust, the toppings, the flavor. Guys there are awesome, the price is right and the oven is just so nice to look at. Try the margherita first! Something so simple yet often made horribly by other establishments. Not at Bocca Lupo! read more

This is such a fun place to visit! Pizza Boca Lipa is located in the San Pedro Square Market, which included several restaurants and a large outdoor space for dining and live music. This is THE spot to go before sharks games to get a good bite and drink. The pizza was baked in a pizza oven and had amazing crust and toppings! I was able to split the pizza with a friend and it was more than enough food. The cashier is also very friendly and was happy to give recommendations! read more

I came here on a Friday night. San Pedro Square was poppin as usual. I needed to eat something with my AMF and I decided to get pizza as a quick meal. I ordered the "Joe's special" $20. It was a combination style pizza on a thin wood fire crust. Ngl it was pretty dang good. So worth, I enjoyed it. The ingredients were well spread out and flavorful. Service was super nice! I forgot my credit card in their machine and when I went to pick up my order, they confirmed with me that I had forgotten my card and they held onto it for me. GREAT SERVICE. THANK YOU. read more

I had lunch at Pizza Bocca Lupo with a friend yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we sat outside under an umbrella. Since it was a weekday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded and we could enjoy our lunch and our conversation. Both of us ordered the lunch pizza special--half salad and half pizza. The amazing counter person was incredibly kind about checking on ingredients to help me with my food allergies, and because of her I was able to have a delicious lunch. I added extra fresh mozzarella on my Margherita pizza (gilding the lily but oh so yummy). The arugula and field greens salad with gorgonzola and dried cranberries added just the right amount of bite, creaminess, and sweetness to the mozzarella, crushed tomato, and basil on the pizza. The Neapolitan style thin crust was perfect to me, with a nice chew to it. read more

I had jury duty nearby (civil courthouse) and wanted to grab something for lunch. I have been here many times, and while I do think their pizza is good, I thought they had a better variety in the past, since it had a little more esoteric toppings. Still, it's good that this place is still going, and I'm happy to get a thin-crust, quick-cooked pizza. Specifically, I wanted to mention their lunch special. It's a great deal, a half a pizza and salad for about $12. Add a few bucks for a beverage, and it's still a relatively well-priced lunch. Also, I like how it is made fresh to order. The portion size is good for a satisfying lunch but won't overload you. The salad they give you is kind of small, like a side salad size, but it is fancy with cheese and dried fruit. One of the things that I really enjoy about San Pedro Square is that there are a lot of places to sit and eat, outside and inside. Also if you go with someone who doesn't want to get pizza, they can go their own separate lunch and meet you outside to have a seat together. read more

Eh, just an okay margherita pizza. Delicious red sauce but it was so watery that the slices were super floppy (had to eat the slices folded-NY-style otherwise would've made a huge mess). Crust wasn't exceptionally fluffy and was even kinda leaning towards the tough side. Overall not a bad spot if you're craving for pizza at San Pedro Square Market but wouldn't say that it's a must-try. read more

In the heart of San Pedro Square marketplace is this pizza spot. San Pedro Square marketplace is a popular spot to watch sports games with lots of food spots and drinks to order. Food:10/10 I got a margherita pizza and the ingredients are so fresh and the cheese was perfectly melted. There was more than just 2 basil leaves in my margherita, which is a plus too. Their pizzas are not very crispy but they are from a wood oven and I like that the pizza isn't too oily. The pizza is cut into only 4 slices, but shareable amongst two people. The price is fair for the quality and taste. Ambiance: In front of the pizza place, there are high tables and high chairs, there are also booths you can sit at too. You can order on the kiosk or in person. The workers are very friendly. There's a parking garage across the pizza place and plenty of street parking spots too. This is now my favorite food spot in the San Pedro Square marketplace. Looking forward to my next pizza craving!:) read more

Pizza is decent here. Not bad, but not wow amazing either. For me this is the okay I can eat this pizza and I would not be mad. I did have to add additional toppings like pepperoni and garlic, but if the pizza is going to be 19 dollars on its own for an individual size plate, I think you should comp on some of the toppings. Not a cheap pizza to say the least. They were pretty busy, but quick about getting the pizza cooked and again can't complain about the taste. I just need to try more Neopolitan style to actually compare this to. I do love that they use the brick oven and actual wood and fire for all their cooks. San Pedro Square is always a fun and cool place to come and hang out very good place just to come and socialize with your friends and peers. read more

I've been coming here for a few years. At first, it was one of my fav pizza places. In the last 6mos to a year, the quality has tanked exponentially. I've been embarrassed to recommend my friends here. One time I came to eat with a group...recommended this pizza. The pizzas were soggy, floppy, runny and hella skimp on toppings. I've decided to assume that everyone has a bad day and I keep trying and wishing it was like the old quality standard. Today, I asked for extra toppings and extra fire in the oven as I do not like soggy pizza. As you can see by my photos.... Soggy central. This pizza is not worth the "San Pedro Tax" (aka higher prices, etc) The positive, sauce and flavoring is great. read more

Always a great choice for a large, happy hour group. A few pizzas go a long way. They can cut them into 8 slices instead of 4 upon request and provide extra plates and napkins. Three pizzas came out to about $75 - not bad for getting a few bites in for 12-15 people. All the menu options are delicious combinations so I find it's hard to decide (a good problem to have). I am always drawn to the Diavola, but today after having the chance to try three different ones side-by-side I may start gravitating to the Superiore. Joe's Special was not bad, but the mushrooms were not as prominent as I would have hoped. We also ordered the chicken pizza, and all slices of all pizzas were finished despite some people supposedly not hungry. Pretty sure I have also ordered the Quattro Formaggi and Margherita in the past and enjoyed them. read more

I've had pizza from Pizza Bocca Lupo a few times now and they're always pretty solid. You are able to customize your pizza if you want to but you cannot do half/half of two flavors unfortunately. Their wood fire oven always makes great quality pizza and their dough makes a great base each and every time. The last time I was here, I tried their pesto pizza and added chicken, tomato, and basil with a side of ranch. It took less than 10 minutes for it to be ready despite it being a really busy weekend. Unfortunately, it was overly salty this time around and I did not use the ranch at all. I think sticking to their marinara sauce is the safest bet and just customize your toppings. The staff is always really friendly here and they're very helpful when asking for combo recommendations. They are a great addition to San Pedro Square and I will always come back for more. read more

I've always wanted to try this spot back in the day during my San Pedro Square nights out but there was always a super long long line every time. This time, we came around 2pm on Saturday and there was no line. I ordered the Joe's Pizza which came with sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms. The pizza was out in minutes. It was good but nothing great. The slices could have been smaller (they cut the pie into 4 big slices). It was pricey and super cheesy which I am not a fan of. All in all, it did the job as we came to San Pedro Square to hang out with friends. In terms of rating the Neapolitan pizza? There is so much better elsewhere. read more

We had some of the best Napoli style pizza in Washington DC and were craving it, so decided to try this place out. We come to San Pedro Square at least once a month but hadn't tried Bocca Lupo. We arrived shortly after they opened so the pizza took longer than expected (about 17 minutes). I ordered the margherita and husband ordered the Joe's special. The margherita had more cheese than a traditional and the basil strips were small but it was still delicious. It is a 12 inch pizza and I got really full halfway through. The Joe's special had even more cheese and the toppings were not spread evenly but he enjoyed it nonetheless. We enjoyed it outside in the sun while the NFL games were going. read more

Pizza Bocca Lupo is without doubt about my favorite pizza places in the Bay Area. Great sauce and toppings on top of the most delicious dough crust you could find... Located at San Pedro Square Market, it is a great place to go with friends or family, so many options to choose from so everyone can get what they like best. I usually get my pizza here and pick up a drink from Urban Ritual to enjoy alongside it. This time I got their Joe's special pizza with sausage, mushroom and mozzarella. They are always very efficient and friendly with their service. There is plenty of seating, both inside and out, with music and a couple of great bars as well. On many days there will be live music outside on the stage, especially during the summer. During the winter musicians will play inside one of the bars. Sitting outside is really nice during the summer, it feels very communal, the tables are comfortable, and if you have kids they really enjoy running around and exploring the place while you might simply enjoy listening to the music when it's playing. There are great options for dessert as well around the plaza, such as Mochinuts. This pizza place as well as this whole plaza are highly recommended for a good afternoon or evening out. read more

This ain't your run of the mill pizza, no sireee...this baby has that wood fire taste to it with thin crust and it hits the spot. The pizzas can be on the oily side--but, hey, it is pizza...and if you don't like that, you can always daub the top with napkins to absorb some of the oil. One downside is that primarily their pizzas are tomato sauce-based, and I prefer more of a selection of sauces and toppings. read more

History

Established in 2011.

The owner of Pizza Bocca Lupo was born in Naples, Italy. He spent his early childhood in the city where the Pizza Margherita was invented as well. During his summer vacations he survived on the famous Neapolitan pizza Margherita. Prior to the opening of Pizza Bocca Lupo he became an apprentice at an Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana - Certified pizzeria in Naples. His friends in Naples congratulated him upon hearing of his plans to open up a restaurant with their favorite style pizza. They all said: "in bocca al lupo!" He signed the lease with nothing but a vision; both San Pedro Square Market buildings were bare structures with piles of rubble. Mid September 2011 San Pedro Square Market, San Jose's first urban market, opened. Pizza Bocca Lupo, Vino Vino and the Market Bar were the only tenants. The rest is history....

We ordered two Pollo Saltimbocca dishes (one with a cream pasta substitution for an additional $8), the Pollo al Limone, and a half bottle of Chardonnay. The restaurant offers one indoor dining area and two outdoor seating areas--one in the front and one in the back--which gives guests plenty of seating options. The food was a bit saltier than our personal preference. The cream pasta substitution, despite the extra charge, wasn't anything particularly memorable compared to similar dishes we've had at other restaurants. However, the highlight of our visit was definitely the warm and welcoming customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel appreciated. We also appreciate that the restaurant closes for a few hours in the afternoon before reopening for dinner service. It's nice to see a business that gives its staff a break during the day. Parking can be a bit challenging due to the busy neighborhood. Be aware that street parking is paid, and most spots have a two-hour limit, so you'll need to keep an eye on the time. Overall, we'd come back to try more of the pasta dishes on the menu and hope to discover a new favorite.

I made a reservation for a Thursday evening, and even though it's right in the heart of downtown, we were lucky and managed to find street parking in front of the restaurant with free EV charging! Right when we stepped in, the interior is decked out in a modern art deco style. Vibrant & fun colors while still maintained a sosphiscated touch. After a few recommendations from our server, we decided to try: Mushroom Arancini (10/10): These are amazing, as soon as they brought it out, we can both instantly smelled the truffle oil. The exterior were crispy & pipping hot, the inside has creamy mushroom. It was certain my favorite of the night! Rigatoni alla Vodka (8/10): A solid pasta! The sauce was great and balanced. There was a good amount of sauce that coated in the pasta. The pasta itself was perfectly al dente! This is a staple dish but I felt like it might lack an interesting flair. Stuffed Branzino (8/10): Another solid dish! The whole were already debone which made it so much easier and fussed free. The skin on top was insanely crispy, the meat were juicy and overall tasted very healthy and fresh! It was a nice paired to the heavy pasta dish! They also gave us 2 cute canolis as a free birthday dessert which were super good! Overall, this is a beautiful spot for a date night and I'm glad I took my partner here! I even got $20 off the bill just by downloading their app and creating an account. Definitely planning to come back!

My boyfriend took us here for a late birthday celebration and upon arriving, we immediately noticed…read morehow beautiful the inside was. The ambiance was perfect for date night. We started with the garlic bread for appetizers. It was well presented but I think it would've been well paired with some sort of dipping sauce because it was a little dry. My boyfriend ordered the thousand layer lasagna and really enjoyed it. I ordered the rigatoni and thought it was just okay. I didn't realize the dish didn't come with protein so it felt like the dish was missing something. The sauce itself was nice but for some reason, some of the pasta was undercooked and some of it was al dente. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate pudding and tiramisu. The presentation was so beautiful. Both my boyfriend and I loved the pudding most -- I would definitely order this again. The tiramisu wasn't bad but it would've been better if it had a stronger coffee taste and if it was a little more moist. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and definitely made our visit feel special. She paid attention to the small details like helping us label our boxes, which I've never had anyone do before. On a completely unrelated note, I was surprised to find the bathrooms are shared between both genders. While there are separate stalls, the sink area is shared, which I wasn't expecting for a nicer restaurant like this. But I would say overall the food was hit or miss but the service and experience overall was amazing:)

Disappointing (non)service. Save your money for a place that wants you to spend it…read more Honestly, I really wanted to like this place. It was cute. The ambiance was nice. The food looked good, but my date and I didn't get a chance to try it. I live in the area and have always seen this place when going past. It looked cool and since it had such great yelp review, I thought tonight would be a good time to try it out. Just got out from a comedy show and we arrived at 9:10pm - it says they close at 10pm so we should be ok right? We only wanted to stop in, get a drink or two, and maybe 1-2 apps. After being greeted by the host, who was very nice, we told her that we just wanted to sit at the bar and get a drink and maybe a couple apps. She said "great!" with a big smile and led us there. While being led there I noted that the place had really cool decor and lighting, felt very cozy and italian. This is where it switched from a nice experience into a really quite bad one. As soon as we sat at the bar we felt unwelcome. There was a bartender there, middle-aged man with glasses and longish shaggy black hair that immediately gave us a "mean mug" type look. "That's strange..." I thought to myself. He did not greet us and seemed pre-occupied with closing the bar, wrapping up the beer spigots etc. The vibe was totally off, we are unwanted it seems. We sat there for maybe 1-2 minutes until he finally turned to us and said "Are you guys waiting for someone?" "We just want a menu" my date replied. "The restaurant is closed" he said, in quite a brusk and rude tone. I looked at my watch. It was 9:15pm. "But it says you guys close at 10pm, is that not the case?" I piped up. "No." he said, shaking his head. He turned his back to us. At this point I thought, lets go to a place that wants our money. I work with customers in my day job and would never be able to interact with a customer in the way he did. Honestly, if you're that way with customers I feel you're more suited to a warehouse job than you are working a bar. "We're not wanted here, lets leave" I said to my date. We got up and left. With people working like that working at their restaurant - save your money and go to some place else with good service. If the bar itself was closed, fine, offer us a table or something. Be nice about it. Instead we got quite rude (non)service. Again, the host was nice, keep her. But buyer beware - if you come during the last hour expect to be treated like you're unwanted garbage from unfriendly bartenders. Maybe update your hours if you "actually" close 50 minutes before it says you do?

To be honest, when I opened the menu, I thought the price was a bit on the high side, and didn't expect to like it in the "worth it" scale. But hey, for a higher price, they better deliver on the food quality! It most certainly disappoint. The food was amazing. Got the Linguini Fruti Di Mare, the seafood was good quality, the cioppino sauce was intense. It truly is the boss of the sauce. Also ordered the Chicken Marsala, I'm always cautious before ordering because the marsala wine can easily become overwhelming, or the sauce is too sour, or the chicken is tough and dry. I did not hit any of those, but rather, what I got was a few silky smooth and tender pieces of flattened chicken breasts, that is moist and flavorful. The sauce is great too, not to mention the mushroom, that is so fresh and flavorful on its own. Last but not least, their attention to detail went all the way to mashed potato and steamed vegetables. It was truly one of the best. Did I mention the free, fresh baked foccacia? It's among the top 3 I've had in any restaurants, ever. At the end, even it pinches my wallet a bit, it was well worth it. Come hungry, leave happy!

Now I get why Sorelle has such a high score, and I'm happy that we finally gave it a try…read more It's situated in a small strip mall, parking is ok as we came at around 6:30pm on a week day night, there were still some spots available. Sorelle is a small restaurant, upon entering, it has a square room and you get to see everything at one glance. It's not fancy on decorations, more like a neighborly place and the customers look like so too, families and large groups on a random day, you don't need to dress up to eat in this place. The 2 page menu has appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta, and 3 entree dishes. Desserts are printed on a separate sheet, there are a variety of choices but a tad too expensive for my wallet. We ordered the Ravioli a la Teresa with cheese and pesto cream sauce, and their signature Sorelle Short Rib Bolognese. After ordering, we were given free bread for the table. The bread had herbs on top and the dipping sauce is olive oil with fried and then mashed soft garlic. The bread looked nothing special, but once I touched it, I was delighted to find out that they were warm and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. It took a bit of wait for our food to came, I think it meant they were freshly cooked. The portions were big. Once laying down our food, the lady came with a big bowl of cheese and helped us sprinkle on top. It looks amazing with the cheese on top, like snow flakes melting on. I am so impressed with my short rib bolognese. The piece of short rib was sumptuous, a whole piece, resting on top of the pasta that is covered in meat sauce. The meat itself was so soft that it was super easy to tear off and just melts in my mouth. Flavorful and soft and juicy, super yummy! The pasta is cooked el dente, and each bite there's a bit of ground meat coated on the ziti pasta from the bolognese sauce. Very satisfying! I had a bite of the ravioli and these huge dumplings are covered in fresh pesto sauce and very cheesy inside. Although I was a bit confused on the difference between a pesto sauce and a pesto cream. I felt like the sauce was more pesto but we ordered pesto cream. Anyhow, it tasted good but I prefer my short rib bolognese more. Bus boy service is fast and responsive. We had a very enjoyable meal.

Then rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Then served with their sauce. Holy Moly!!! Why have I never had this heavenly piece of Italy?!?!?! Seasoned well and fried well.

The carbonara was amazing--served super hot with great flavor and a solid amount of meat. Easily a 10/10. One tip though: eat it while it's hot, because once it cools down, it's not quite the same. The seafood pasta was also a standout. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and it felt surprisingly light for a pasta dish. You know how pasta can sometimes feel heavy? This didn't have that at all. Another 10/10. The pesto pasta (a special that day) was just okay for me. It leaned a bit too oily, and the pesto flavor didn't really come through. They added ricotta, which kind of overpowered everything else. I did like the portion and the amount of meat, but overall I'd give it a 7/10. The ambiance was decent--nothing too special, but clean and comfortable. Service was excellent. It felt like a family-run place--three brothers along with their wives and kids--and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They gave great recommendations and even helped accommodate my mom by seating us closer to the bathroom, which I really appreciated. Just a heads up: it's in downtown Los Gatos, so parking can be a bit tricky since there's no private lot. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. The portions and quality justify the price, and it stands out as one of the better Italian spots in the Bay Area.

The restaurant has interesting decor and is not like most establishments of this nature as it is informal and is not in " the fine linen and white tablecloth " type of vein. No, the restaurant itself ( in a casual, rustic sort of way ) is very cozy and warm. inviting in a semi-formal way where you can relax to enjoy a fine meal and that is exactly what my family had. Our waiter was an affable fellow named Armando who is one of those servers that, as any good waiter does, is truly attentive to your whims and instinctively anticipates what you may want and he was perfect at his job. He served us water and a very food delicious basket of freshly baked bread ( which inadvertently set the tone for the meal to come because it was beyond excellent ) and named off the house specials, which were all mouth-watering at hearing them but it was the rib eye steak that caught my attention and that is what I ordered and also a ginger beer as well ( Fever Tree no doubt about it ). My family also ordered their food and then we waited for what what it seemed was an eternity for our meal to come. After about 40 minutes our meals came and they did not disappoint, from presentation to the flavor, taste and consistency of it all. I honestly don't remember eating my meal because it was done in 5 minutes... yes. it was that good and beyond delicious! I remember the steak was tender, juicy, grilled perfectly, the gravy was hearty and robust. the vegetables were cooked right ( fresh and tangy ) and the mashed potatoes were oh so fluffy and creamy. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal to the fullest and I left no food on my plate. This was a meal that was pretty epic for what it was and I was throughly satisfied. I ordered a tiramisu for dessert to take home and I'm sure it will be as good as the meal I had at the restaurant.

Kinda a pain and I personally don't feel it makes much sense as I wanted something not on the pre fixe menu Food: Bruschetta - so tasty. It's a flavor bomb with the cheese, honey, and mortadella. Def recommend Kofta- not bad. I dunno if the meatballs really went that well with the hummus as it's kind of a dryer dip but I get what they were trying to do. The bruschetta was much better imo Crudo- solid crudo. I've had better quality fish but it still fairly good. Nice dish if you don't want something too heavy and want a lil citrus Scallops- really good but really pricey. Is 2 for $24 . Loved the way it was prepped tho and the wasabi cream sauce. Oysters- also good but also pricey @ $4/oyster. If you hafta make a choice I liked the scallops better Octopus: cooked perfectly. Loved the sauces and flavors as well. This was a big hit at the table Chicken: nice grilled taste but ultimately overcooked and dry. Flavor was ok. Prob wouldn't get again nor recommend Ny strip: solid steak with nice char texture and flavors. Nothin crazy crazy but way better than the chicken Ocean trout: imo the best entree of the night. It was cooked perfectly and the skin had a perfect crisp/flakiness Lobster tagliatelle: pretty meh. I think the sauce on the pasta was a bit bland. There also was barely any lobster. I'd skip this Lemon pie: the best dessert. It sounds basic AF but it's really a deconstructed lemon pie using lemon meringue on top. Def creative and tasty. Loukoumades: despite being recommended we prob felt this was the least fav dessert. The dough balls were a bit stale instead of nice soft and fluffy Chocolate sundae: reminded me of a chocolate mojito. It was not bad and the mint created another dimension to the desert but ultimately just way too much chocolate. I think it could be better if there were scoops of different flavors instead of all choc Overall, most of the dishes were great and we generally had a good experience. Some dishes were meh but def felt the majority were winners. Wouldn't mind coming back for a special occasion or nice dinner again when the menu is refreshed

As a pizza lover, I can confidently say that Its one of the best pizza places in San Jose . From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm aroma of wood-fired pizza, and I knew I was in for a treat. I decided to go with my go-to pizza, the margarita. The pizza was cooked to perfection with a crispy crust and just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The basil leaves on top added a refreshing touch to the overall flavor profile. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, and I couldn't get enough of it. I also tried their pesto pizza, which was equally impressive. The pesto sauce was made from fresh ingredients, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The toppings on the pizza were generous and well-distributed, making sure that every bite had a bit of everything. We also ordered garlic bread which I dint like it. One thing that stood out to me about this pizza place was their small but excellent menu. They clearly focus on perfecting a few dishes rather than having a wide range of mediocre ones. The staff was also friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this walk-up pizza place in San Pedro Square Market. Their wood-fired pizzas are some of the best I've had in San Jose, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items. read more

This coffee shop is nice but the seating is extremely limited. I feel like they could utilize more of their space to accommodate to guests that want to enjoy their coffee instead of frantically having to get there early to lock down a spot. Their coffees are great and really a treat. I would say it's a bit overpriced but the experience is unique. The ambiance and decor of sightglass is very defined though I don't particularly get a friendly vibe. Feels lonesome in there, much like a community that never speaks to one another but drinks the same coffee. read more

I wish they would take phone orders, it would save me the 10 minutes wait.

Super crowded spot, at least when we went for dinner in the evening. It took almost half an hour to get our pizza, which was decent enough. We ordered the pesto pizza this time around. While the toppings tasted very fresh actually, I found the pizza to be a bit on the boring side. Part of the problem in my opinion was the lack of toppings and maybe that's my fault for not trying one of the meat pizzas. All in all it's a decent place to grab a pizza and some drinks for the price, but I still prefer my usual pizza joint to this one. read more

The pizzas here are quite good, with tasty dough and flavorsome toppings. While the Margherita pizza is priced at $17 and the Joe's Special at $19, the pricing might seem a bit off compared to the portions and ingredients. It would be great if the Margherita was priced a bit lower, as a $12 price tag would make it a fantastic deal. Despite this, the pizzas are enjoyable, and if you're in the mood for pizza, it's worth a try. Thanks to the team for the good food and service! read more

Out of all the pizzerias I've been before, this is the best! Food-wise, the pizza they serve is always freshly baked and they do not compromise the ingredients they are using. They observe cleanliness in the whole premise, cleaning the tables right away after the customers have left. With regards to the staff and crew, they are well-trained and cordial. Even though there are some impatient customers, they still manage to deal with it professionally. read more

This pizza place in San Pedro Square offers a three-star experience with its really good, cooked-to-order pizzas. The catch is the wait time - if you're ordering at the restaurant, be prepared for a bit of a delay since they don't have slices ready to go. However, the vibrant and fun atmosphere of San Pedro Square somewhat makes up for the wait, adding to the overall enjoyment of your meal. read more

I'll definitely be coming back here again. The owner even walked over and spoke to us. He told us he was born in Naples, Italy to a Dutch father and Italian mother. read more

1st off just look at the pictures of this pizza . Probably the best looking pizza you will ever see. Bubbly slightly charred crust tastes as good as it looks. It's not that filling for the price but who cares when the quality is this good. Reminds me of some of the best pizza I had last time I was in Italy. Keep up the good work! read more

I went there with two other friends and we all agreed this is a place to visit again, i gave 4 stars because the place still need some work to create that genuine italian feeling, nonetheless the food deserved 6 stars, the capresse salad was great with and the pizza was outstanding... If u are looking for a thin crust of course! read more

Best pizza I've tried in the DTSJ area! The vegetarian toppings are SO yummy. I tried the Capricciosa & I absolutely loved the flavor combination. I'm excited to go back because there are many more kinds that looked appealing. The staff is efficient & friendly. Their huge pizza oven adds a lot of character to their space too. read more

Simple yet delicious. This is the place for thin crust pizza lovers, they have awide selection of toppings and the ingredients are as fresh as they can be. When ever I eat one of their pizzas I get full but not like I just ate at round table and I can't move. Highly recommended read more

Perfect slice of pizza pairs well with local brews...the crust is nice and toasty...got the capriciosa...the sauce had a nice tang and a nice ratio of toppings to slice so you don't have a soggy mess...overall satisfying and had a good bang for your buck.... read more

I love this pizza. Great thin crust, fresh toppings, good variety. Can't go wrong with the Margherita. I once had grease dripping down my wrist and didn't even notice until a colleague pointed it out because I was so into it. Embarrassing but whatever! read more

Their coffees are great and really a treat. I would say it's a bit overpriced but the experience is unique. The ambiance and decor of sightglass is very defined though I don't particularly get a friendly vibe. read more

The Queens slice was loaded with toppings, the garlic bread disappeared way too fast, and the Cajun fries had just the right kick. The mozzarella sticks were cheesy, crispy, and exactly what I was craving. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the food hit the spot. Honestly, the hardest part was trying not to finish everything before getting back in the car. Would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area!

Their pizza is thin NY style not even my fav style of pizza and reasonably priced for the area. I didn't eat any other pizza during my month in town. Ambience is low key relaxed with half the place a bar tv section; staff is cool and would hang out and chat/watch the World Cup with me while I ate.

However, upon sitting down and glancing through the menu after having ordered one slice, "JR's Favorite" caught my eye, and JR himself was happy to make a whole pizza on the spot just so that I could purchase a slice. To my surprise, JR served me the first slice (combo) I ordered with complimentary garlic knots, and then followed that with his "Favorite" slice. Both slices hit the spot! Although I would say the pizza is slightly softer on the bottom than what one may expect from a NY pizza, the ingredients were FRESH, the pizza was NOT full of grease, and priced reasonably for the size. I'm sure they would be happy to cook the pizza longer if I had requested a crispier pizza. I didn't include a tip when I paid because I thought it was gonna be a quick meal, but because of the service and fresh quality of the pizza, I decided to write this review to make up for the lack of tip!

It was $24.70, which was freaking insane and no utensils no napkins for a small bowl of pasta. The bread was OK with the sauce, but you could literally taste nothing except for white pepper.

First, our cesar salad wasn't dressed and didn't come with dressing on the side. We ate a bowl of sad dry lettuce. Turns out this dry lettuce bowl was the highlight of the meal. We used to LOVE the clam pizza. Creamy, delicious, like a bowl of chowder in pizza form. What we got today was dry, boring, and tasteless. The clams were dry. The sauce was non-existent. Did I mention how dry everything was? It wasn't like a bowl of chowder, unless the bowl of chowder was left out in the sun for a few weeks. Dry. It's a shame. Amici's used to be amazing, but what we received today was sad and pathetic. Wings were good though, so at least they haven't ruined those, yet. There are so many good pizza spots in San Jose, Amici's is no longer one of them.

Sammy G's has a sort of rustic atmosphere, with both indoor and outdoor seating and a bar inside. Unfortuantely I came at a bad time, as they were having technical issues that prevented me from using my card and I had to switch my order from the Banh Mi Pizza to just Cheesy Garlic Bread because I only had eleven dollars on me. The bread took a while, but the cashier was very apologetic about the situation and the bread was given to me warm so I won't complain. When I got home to eat the cheesy garlic bread, I was caught off guard by how good it was. Maybe it's just been a while since I've had garlic bread as a whole, but it was just as amazing and fulfilling as I imagined it to be. Overall I'd be happy to come here again, and I hope their technical issues are resolved by then.

Mazala pulls a creative twist, in which each pizza comes with its own sauces, such as chutney, lime sauce, spicy sauce, etc. The curry base is STRONG.

It was kind of tough. I would have loved a crust that had a crisp outer layer and a chewy, 00-flour interior, similar to what you'd get from a wood-fired oven. In addition, it was really expensive-- $20 for a 12-inch (medium) from a take-out window? Overall, I probably wouldn't go back unless a friend really wanted to. I will probably be looking for other options in the area that provide the same/similar thing.
