    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.

    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! :)

    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.

    Hawaiian pizza with pepperoni and jalapeño

    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

But we got the pad see ew and the fried rice here with a drink (total $44) because we were starving and didn't have time for dinner before meeting up with a friend group to bowl - and I was pleasantly surprised at the value of what we got?? Pros: - The 2 dishes we ordered, came with HUGE portions - I was so surprised because I expected it to be overpriced (since it's inside the bowling alley and the place also services bar food/fried food fitting for a bowling alley) - Tasted pretty good honestly! not bad. it didn't hold up well later in the night or the next day, but not terrible. - decent amount of veggies and meat in the pad see ew! - Pretty quick service, food came out in less than 10 mins, and they gave us a buzzer so we knew when the food was ready Cons: - obviously service can be a bit hit or miss, but it's a bowling alley, so set your expectations accordingly Overall, I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here - but it is refreshing to not only be stuck eating fried bar food at the alley

Of course the main star is the food and it definitely lives up to the hype IMO.

My friend was already waiting in line at the drive thru by the time I got back to the car. The guy with the piercings all over his face was extremely rude and didn't even get the correct order. By the time we left and opened the food there was multiple pieces of hair baked into my chicken. Both plates had hair all over the chicken and breading. Between the establishment being gross, the horrible customer service and the hair cooked into this food do not eat here. Save your money out go to in n out next door.

Unfortunately, not all are the same but Castro Valley location hits the mark: friendly staff, efficient and food prepared fresh to order. I started visiting the Castro Valley location as my uncle is staying at a nearby care facility. I've placed orders at the counter and since I'm a regular (Uncle likes his pies, onion rings and chili) I downloaded the app to minimize the wait. Burgers and onion rings (there's an onion in there) are delicious and the pies hit the spot. Place is bright, clean, inviting with simple menu and clear view of those pies. I usually visit weekday lunch and Genesis and Victoria are always friendly and efficient. Overall, simple, fresh and delicious no-nonsense food. Plenty of free lot parking, indoor dining only. Everything made to order so expect a wait. Best to visit non peak hours. For to-go orders use the app - signing up gets you a free slice of pie (with entree) for your birthday!

The best part was the eggs, but the bacon tasted like hotel bacon, while the hash browns were not crispy or tasty. The toast was not very good and even the orange juice tasted like the fridge. The inside of the restaurant was really cold and had a sterile environment. It was not a great environment and the time that it took to get the food really made it that much worse. We will not be returning to this place -- we would much rather support a small local eatery for brunch instead of coming here without much personalized service or care.
