    Half chicken butter half tika masala 1/5
    Rosie W.

    We ordered half butter chicken and half tika masala. The base of this pizza is worse than little Caesar's, which is crispier on the outside and has more flavor. A few things went wrong with this pizza: - The pizza dough is too chewy, too soggy. - The pizza dough doesn't have any taste to it. - There were way too many onions in the pizza. They could've easily called this an onion pizza. If this were a frozen pizza, i think it'd be decent but it was made fresh and it cost $30. I would say the flavor is pretty good but everything I mentioned above trumps it all. The service was nice. They were patient while we looked through the menu and recommended a few items. Took about 20 min for the pizza.

    6/24/24 I twisted my wife's arm to visit this shop. "Look" I sez. "The place is clean, quiet, they have good food, and they have good beer on tap." We arrive and order a small pizza. A glass of New Belgium Space Dust IPA and a diet Coke for my Wife. We look for a clean table. STRIKE ONE. A lot of the tables are not spotless like last visit. We clean one ourselves. There are two televisions blasting nonsense into the atmosphere and we are the only customers so I ask them to turn the noise level down. No response. I find the remote and do it myself. STRIKE TWO. The cashier comes to our table and reports the keg of beer that I paid for a glass from is empty. Since I already paid, I chose a lesser ale. swing and a FOUL BALL. The pizza arrives piping hot and delicious. Crust with cornmeal makes you want more and more. Not too salty and I can't stop folding mouth watering slices and shoving them into my pie hole. Swing and CRACK! Pizza Twist connects and... Ladies and Gentlemen it is going, going, going and ... HOME RUN!!! We've just witnessed History! Wow.

    Neither Hubbers or I didn't feel like cooking, so we threw ideas in a hat (so to speak) as to what we really had a taste for. After much debate, this place won out. I wanted the Hawaiian pizza, but we felt a couple of sides or starters were musts. We didn't realize the choices seemed endless and that it took us a bit to finally narrow it down. After much debate and using the process of elimination, we finally had a list! So I picked up the phone and put the order in. "It'll be ready in 30 minutes..." Got in the car 25 minutes later (they are that close to home) and found myself inside in no time. They were close to closing time, chairs atop tables, floors clean, and was welcomed in very nicely. I was told they were just about finished with my stuff. Showed the perk, paid and in a minute, I was walking out the door with my goodies. That 5 minute drive felt like a 500 minute drive, car smelled so delish!!!! SHAHI PANEER NAAN: A meal in itself! So glad I started with this. There's a nice crisp to the bread, had a slight and nice Indian curry aroma and the paneer added texture. The tomatoes and onions served as sidekicks of sorts that also added to the overall flavor. I really REALLY liked it! BUTTER CHICKEN NAAN TWIST: It looked strikingly like the paneer version, but trust: it's a whole different profile. They are consistent with the crisp of the bread. The chicken was seasoned well and moist. Veggies were also sidekicks that helped elevate the flavor. Delish! LEMON PEPPER WINGS: Flavor was perfect, and though the chicken was cooked through and through, I would have much preferred it with a little bit more crisp. But hey, that's a personal thing, and I will take it as they serve it. (Side note: I had leftovers and popped them in the air fryer for a bit and eventually got the texture - while that perfect flavor remained - they way I like it.) HAWAIIAN PIZZA: Thin crust. Perfect amount of cheese. The amount of ham and pineapple were commensurate with each other and there were plenty of both. Crust was crispy. To heck with people who say pineapple should never be on pizza, this was yummishhhhh!!! FOOD: 5. There was nothing I didn't like. SERVICE: 4. Very little interaction, but certainly above average for the small amount of time I was there. They were all very friendly and welcoming. VALUE: 5. Worth it. Plenty of food for two, we had enough leftovers for a snack/small second meal. PARKING: Shared with others. Not an issue nearing closing time. OVERALL: 4.75. The chicken Cesar salad and the spicy wings were all Hubbers, so I can't comment on them. He liked them, though, I'll attest to that. The next time - because there will be one - will be a dine-in experience. I'm confident they'll earn that 5th star then.

    Paneer

    Great option for a desi pizza! Tried paneer and tandoori chicken and surprisingly veg was as good as chicken. I have had in similar places in east bay where the large pizza size is a big bigger for a couple more bucks. So I wished this was big enough too, but 2 pizzas sufficiently fed 4 of us. So am happy with the experience overall.

    Hercules got a new pizza spot! Pizza Twist is an international pizza chain. With locally sourced ingredients and premium quality GMO-Free meat, the menu is filled with vegan, gluten-free and traditional Indian twists of flavor. How amazing is that?! We had a nice Sunday football spread going and these babies fit right in. We got 3 medium pizzas - 1 supreme and 2 vegan chicken tikka masala and Bombay garlic chicken. The toppings were generous, vibrant and fresh. The flavors were unique (everyone loved the chicken tikka masala!) and the crust was tasty with cornmeal dusted goodness. I wasn't too much of a fan of the vegan cheese but overall my family and I enjoyed the flavors. There's a ton of different pizza, wings (even vegan!), naan flavors to try - I personally want to try the butter chicken and paneer flavors next!

    Butter Chicken Naan Twist
    Arnel A.

    Pizza With A Twist! My very first time visiting Pizza Twist since they opened back in December. So tonight we decided it's Pizza night with a Twist! I've always wish that a pizza joint like this style with both Indian and Pakistan flavors would open up close by since I've always like these pizza style flavors in other places. So, tonight we ordered a medium Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza Twist and an order of Butter Chicken Naan bread and both without heat. As expected, the Chicken Tikka pizza was full of flavors with an even distributions of toppings. The toppings were spread consistently in each slice therefore each slice was flavorful. Yummy! Unfortunately the crust was slightly overbaked but I'll give it a pass this time. As for the Butter Chicken flavor Naan, it was flavorful but this time, the Naan was hard and over baked. I'm used to Naan being soft but this one was just the opposite. Is this how it's served?. I'll have to give it a try next time. But for now, finally, another pizza joint with a Twist of flavors! So, thank you for being here. I'll be back for sure!

    The former Extreme Pizza has become better than ever. Pizza Twist definitely has a twist that Dominos, Round Table, and Mountain Mikes doesn't have. I tried out this place after having my cup of Starbucks. I didn't expect to see a different selections on the menu. I would never see Halal on a pizza but when I had the Chicken Tikka Masala it was good. Would you believe that the breadsticks are naan? Round Table doesn't have naan on their breadsticks. You want a pizza cookie and brownie? This place has it. I will try this place again in the future. I do recommend this place for other Hercules residents.

Would never have guessed it was a Korean restaurant. We were seated right away and our server was pretty attentive. We got the usual bon chon of appetizers and were able to place our orders quickly. Kimchi Jeon: I always love the Korean pan cake. My choices are usually the Green Onion or the Kimchi variant. Here, they had the Kim chi version. It was crispy and fried to perfection and was not salty. The dipping sauce helped complement the pancake and there was plenty enough to go for a second round. Soy garlic and spicy fried chicken: This was absolutely delicious. The spicy was not too spicy, with just the right amount for the kick and not making me want to drink milk. It was also crispy and crunchy, which is what I expect from Korean fried chicken. The soy garlic was phenomenal. The sauce was not overtly sweet and it tasted what I expect from the flavor profile. These pieces were also fried to perfection as well. Kimchi Soondooboo: I always love the soft tofu soup and I am glad they had this here as well. The version here is vegetarian (though you do get an egg). The tofu was soft and there was plenty of it in the soup. My only complaint personally was that the broth was a bit bland for me. Could be that I am used to have a meat version of kimchi Soondooboo. It still tasted delicious on a cold night, but I felt it was still missing some seasoning or flavoring. Overall, had a great experience here and looking forward to coming back.

I had seen some really positive Yelp reviews, and after this visit, I can confirm the reviews aren't wrong. We started with the Prawn Blankets, which are seasoned prawns wrapped in a crispy wonton-style wrapper and served with jeow som, a sweet and tangy Lao chili dipping sauce. There are five to an order, and they were absolutely delicious. Of course, the main reason I came was for the Mango Sticky Rice. I asked for extra coconut sauce (because we're not doing things halfway around here ), and it came with fresh mango slices, pandan sticky rice, sweet coconut milk, and sesame seeds. Everything was perfectly balanced, sweet, and incredibly satisfying. The service was exceptional. The ladies working in the dining room were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I told them I'd be back often because of my newfound mango sticky rice obsession, and I wasn't kidding. In fact... I may have ordered another one to go. No judgment, please.
