    XL Half cheese half pepperoni
    Sonia H.

    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.

    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! :)

    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 :)

    Burnt one side. 12" Medium 2 Toppings Pizza

    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.

    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

There was no line in the restaurant but people scattered around waiting for their food. We literally waited 30 minutes for our food. Considering the cost of food, long wait is expected. 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. I had better In-N-Out Burgers in Texas than this these in California. For God Sakes... In-N-Out Burger is originally from California. But the quality is in below my expectations.

Recently, I ate in person and the food came out piping hot. Service was great but also, I noticed the staff cleaning each table and the bathroom was also fairly clean. There was also a staff going around making sure everyone's orders were good. I thought that was great to see and enjoyed the spotless environment. Of course the main star is the food and it definitely lives up to the hype IMO. It's just classic chicken tenders and crinkle cut fries but when it's piping hot, it's super delicious and can't beat the good service too.

If you're walking in, the entrance is almost hard to find. There's 2 separate entrances but the doors are single doors in black with no particular effort on the store's part to make the entrance look welcoming. Once you do make it inside though, it is a fun vibe with large disco balls overhead. Their chicken fingers is what's famous. I do think their breading is nice and manages to stay crispy even after bringing it back home to eat 15 minutes later. Flavor isn't particular special. Definitely needs Cane sauce. Fun fact, if you like their sauce, I heard you can order a whole cup's worth. The Texas toast is amazing though. It's a bit sweet, a bit salty from the butter, and it's toasted for a light crisp. Absolutely delicious. Recommend getting the toast with every purchase! The tea was surprisingly not as sweet as I expected. I usually have to mix my McD's sweet tea down with half unsweetened tea so I did that with my tea at Cane's and found it much less sweeter than I thought. Gonna go for full sweet tea next time.

I get that there are collectors out there hoarding the toys. Be rude to those guys. But it is for a kid ... anyways we went to another place and they were kind enough to do it.
