    Garlic chicken By The Slice
    Tyra A.

    Little hole in the wall pizzeria that has been around for decades. Wonderful, down-to-earth service. As I was eating, one of the guests had come in with an issue and I overheard the owner genuinely extend his concerns and fixed the problem. Ordered the 'By The Slice' garlic chicken pizza and boy did it satisfy my most intense of pizza hankerings. I mean everything I could ever want in a slice: crust that was crispy to the bite, quality-cheesiness, fresh tomatoes and onions, an abundance of chicken! Around $10 for a huge slice. That pizza did not stand a chance against me. I would even go as far to say that this place is better than spots in New York! Pizza Express, please don't ever change.

    Large chicken tikka masala and cheese Breadsticks

    Ordered large Chicken Tikka Masala and cheese breadsticks for delivery. The food was delicious extremely fresh pizza and breadsticks. Hot on arrival not like other pizza places where it's warm by the time it gets to my home. The service was phenomenal the driver had amazing energy and vibe. Extremely pleasant customer service experience. Very nice man. I love that this place is family owned and has been around for years. I will be continue to order great pizza from this place. I strongly support this business and their amazing pizza. I strongly recommend! :)

    This is my 6th visit at this small own business. I would just like to show appreciation for consistency of the taste of the pizza from this restaurant. My family and I will drive from Tennyson to Castro valley just for this pizza. We order simple pizza but the taste and dough is always a 10/10. They are super clean I always see the staff whom are making the pizzas constantly washing their hands and the store is clean inside. Support this small business if you're local in town you wouldn't be disappointed.

    Alright I've gotten delivery from this place a few times and it's been on point every time. Chewy crust, not too thick, good quality toppings, love the tomato basil sauce... and with a stuffed crust/stuffed dough option, sheesh. Great sizes and quality especially for the prices, and I love that you can get up to an 11 topping of your choice supreme option for any size they sell, and only for a couple bucks more than the 3/4 topping options (Also love that they put plenty of toppings on but also don't overload the pizza...I'm a firm believer that too much on top can ruin a good pizza). Only downers is getting cheese on it is technically considered a topping on the customs, and apparently there's a secret chicken tikka masala pizza you just cant get through ordering takeout or delivery on Yelp :P but the pizza is so good, and I understand not everyone wants cheese and has to pay for it anyway only to have to request to take it off; I just couldn't downgrade the rating for that with a straight face, that's just a personal preference. But dying to try the masala pizza.... Tried my first dessert here, the pizza cookie; half of it didn't make it from the door to the counter, crispy and gooey chocolate chip, this was just done so right. Easily my new favorite pizza delivery place around, cheese charge aside lol.

    This is a great pizza joint! We ordered online and they had it ready in like 25ish minutes. It was so cheesy and tasty, not greasy at all. They have a good selection of soda at the front. Overall I will be coming back and trying their other pizzas :)

    Tried the garlic chicken slice. First of all the smell is amazing I couldn't wait til my ride home and ate it on the drive home. The slice is loaded with toppings, no skimping here! The texture of the crust is great it's nice and crunchy. Pizza was made hot and fresh to order I waited 10 minutes max. Would highly recommend Pizza Express for great pizza if you're in the a

    Burnt one side. 12" Medium 2 Toppings Pizza
    Princess V.

    Ordered through door dash on a Saturday night. They close at midnight so I was glad I was still able to order, cut off for online ordering is at 10:45pm. I always pass this place on redwood rd, it looks like a quaint pizza place. I was going to order papa John's but decided to give this place a try. The pizza arrived timely within 30 minutes which was impressive. We ordered 1 medium 2 topping pizza (pepperoni and jalapeño). First thing I noticed was the pizza box was not sealed, no seal at all, which is very uncommon nowadays with the popularity of delivery services especially with meal delivery. We indicated to add utensils and condiments on the order, when it arrived, there were no cheese or pepper packets. It's fine as I always keep some in stock at the house. Now the pizza was flavorful, plenty of cheese, but the toppings were not generous. I will show the expectation vs reality photo. They even burnt one side of the pizza. Hopefully it was just an off night because I really wanted to like this place. I'm willing to give them another chance and maybe order the garlic chicken pizza everyone is raving about.

Not sure if it's the busy season or the way they make their food, the fries were nasty. They were dry and hard, not just one piece but the whole tray. Salt packets were provided. Burger... ugh.

You can tell they've mastered the art of frying. And with the price being so reasonable, you'll definitely feel like you're getting more than your money's worth. The rice and slaw balance out the heat and richness of the chicken beautifully, making for a well-rounded meal that leaves you craving more. My fave flavors are spicy Medium and sweet and sour!

Medium Spicy Chicken Wings -The batter was well seasoned, and the spice takes a second or two to kick in. The spice level of medium is probably as hot as I would enjoy (normal enjoyable max spice level is hot Cheetos). To me, it is soy garlic with a kick up underlying spice. Sweet Potato Fries -A nice toasted sweetness on the outside and a very soft sweet potato inside. Goes great with the sweet and sour dipping sauce. Onion Rings -The batter on these were surprisingly tasty with a nice crunch to them. They weren't soggy and they had a delicious like taste to them (maybe corn batter). If you like onion rings, then these are worth a taste. Rice -Their rice was as perfect as rice can be. I always enjoy eating some rice with my chicken. The rice also came in handy to cool things down when eating the spicier wings.
