Red Boy is an unreal pizza spot, an absolute stable. The sourdough crust is the best I have ever had, crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy inside. You can taste the difference in sourdough immediately. I ordered the classic combo and a custom pie, both were LOADED with fresh ingredients and cooked perfect. Service is awesome, Jack helped me, and what an awesome guy, a dude I left the restaurant wishing I was friends with. The place has that old school neighborhood pizza feel. The kind of spot you are drawn to go back too. Easily one of the best pizza spots / places I would want to grab a beer in Marin. read more

The family and I were hanging out downtown San Raphael and was ready for pizza but with so many great options available in the area how could one even choose? While checking out my options what instantly caught my eye was that this place makes their pizza with a "sourdough crust" (as a lover of sourdough it was a no brainer for me!) We decided to go with our usual half pepperoni, half cheese pie. The pizza smelled so good that we decided to have a few slices in the car before we headed home (which was about an hour drive) and both I and the kids loved it! The pizza was very cheesy, the sauce was well balanced and the sourdough crust was chewy yet light. The lady that took my order was friendly and patient. For my extra large pizza the wait was only about 25 minutes, which wasn't too bad considering they were pretty busy with both phone and walk in orders. The dining area was a pretty decent size and it had the styling of an old school Italian restaurant (they even had checkered tablecloths.) We really enjoyed our pie and would definitely comeback when in the area looking for a great pizza! J read more

I am a huge fan of sourdough pizza. Red boy has had its ups and downs with different locations coming and going, but this location does a great job. The dining room isn't any place that I'd like to sit down and eat at, but I get this as Takeaway or delivery quite often. I usually get a red boy special well done with jalapeños. I've never had a bad pizza from them. Sometimes I get the Caesar salad, which is great. read more

We ordered late night delivery and it came fresh and hot. Love the sourdough crust pizza. The wings were pretty dry though, but we didn't care cause the pizza was great. read more

Sauce was pretty generic, crust typical of chain pizza stores, very thinly sliced pepperoni and mushrooms were sliced to little pieces. Overall nothing special and not worth going back considering numerous better options in the area. read more

Very mediocre. Used to be better than recent experience where the flavors just seemed off. There are so many better options in Marin...

Outstanding! We were on our way home from the airport looking for anything that was open. We wanted pizza but didn't think we'd find anything. We were so lucky to find this place! We ordered a small pepperoni, red onions, black olive and pineapple. It was sooooo delicious. The service was lovely, helpful and kind. Super happy we found this place and hope others will feel the same! read more

This place is amazing. You need to try the sourdough crust which is everything when it comes to pizza. Support local businesses and try this place. Well worth it. read more

When it comes to weekly pizza, this is out go to as its basic pizza done well and better than the gourmet pizzas in Marin.The person who answers the phone can be brusque and rude but hey, its good solid pizza and inexpensive.Wish they had other sauces other than marinara and a variety of cheeses. read more

This was a great pizza! We loved the flavor. The pizza was also ready early. We will definitely be coming again. Thanks!

These wings cost $16 not worth it at all. The wing pieces are so small and had no sauce whatsoever. read more

Red Boy Pizza - wings - Italian Near Me - San Rafael, California

I actually read some of the notes too good reviews for this and went anyway. So glad I did. This pizza was actually good. A little on the salty side, but otherwise good.. It was the only place open at 11:30pm and the best option for sure. The guy working there was friendly and got our slices ready quickly. My only gripe with the place would be that the counter seemed a little cluttered. I felt like they could've moved all the cables and old phones to another place so it could look more presentable. read more

Ok. We're done. They have consistently messed up our order. We get the same pizzas every week. Pepperoni with mushroom and pepperoni with jalapeños. So last week they left off the jalapeños and put it on after cooking so it was raw. This week they left the pepperoni off the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. We order at geriatric dinner time because it's not burnt. Pizza is great when done right. But it hasn't been done forever. We love the sourdough crust, but enough is enough. Any recommendations for a better pizzeria would be most appreciated read more

Red boy is the go to always and by far the best around. Tonight i got a peperoni,sausage and onion pizza and boy did it hit the spot. Orderd for delivery and it arrived quik hot n fresh.

Ordered a pizza and after about an hour called and it seemed like their pizza delivery guy was not answering his phone!! Had to cancel my order after and hour and a half. Not worth it. Dont get delivery from here. read more

This is EASILY the best pizza I have ever had. Amazing service and nice employees, perfect ambiance, and the best pizza you will ever taste. Every other pizza shop in Marin is dwarfed compared to this heavenly pie shop and I will die by that. I can't enjoy any other pizza because my taste buds have been spoiled by this godsend. Thank you to Red Boy pizza, its employees, and all those who keep it running for adding a joy to my life that I never thought possible. read more

Pizza is getting crazy expensive, Red Boy is solid pizza at a decent price. I picked up a large group order and it was hot and ready when they promised read more

One of my top two favorite pizza spots in town. My go-to is a small Red Boy Special, an order of wings well done with a side of ranch. That's enough food to feed 2-3 people, but I enjoy it all to myself. Nom nom. read more

This is a review of dinner delivery from Red Boy Pizza. It is easy to order via Grubhub.com. They do not have a delivery fee. There delivery minimum is $18. I placed my order at 6:28 PM. I was provided with an estimated delivery time of 7:20 PM to 7:30 PM. My pizza was delivered at 7:41 PM. That is a delivery time of 1 hour and 13 minutes. I have always considered pizza delivery times over an hour to be excessive. The delivery person was very friendly. The food was neatly packed. They included numerous packets of red pepper and Parmesan. There was also a nice container of dressing for the wings. There were napkins and paper plates included. The food was good. Once delivered, the food was still warm but not hot. Pizza Roma - Medium/12 in (Cheese, tomato sauce, Italian sausage, mushrooms) This was a pretty good pizza. The crust is neither a thick crust or a thin. It is sturdy enough to eat without utensils though. while it is their calling card, I did not really pick up any significant sourdough flavour though. The mushrooms were quite flavourful. I really enjoyed the sharp fresh flavour of the tomato sauce. The sausage was mild. There was a generous amount of toppings. Plus, the pizza wasn't greasy at all. http://tinyurl.com/q2gt962 Red Hot Wings - Ok, these are not red hot wings. They are not even really sort of hot wings. They were ok for a bit of a side for the pizza. But they are not stand out wings. They just didn't really have any chutzpah. They also weren't the meatiest of wings I've ever eaten. http://tinyurl.com/mt6jfgf Receipt $18.35 + $10 coupon - $28.35 (est.) Note: The receipt will show that I used to $10 Grubhub coupon. This was a coupon they provided due to issues with an unrelated order. Go Grubhub customer service! Red Boy ain't cheap or inexpensive or whatever you want to call it. This was a relatively small medium pizza and six wings clocking in at just under $30. http://tinyurl.com/ldux9c5 Overall - Red Boy delivered a pretty good pizza. If I was starving or in a hurry, I would skip them and try another place. Their delivery just isn't that speedy. Plus, if you order the wings, just go in knowing you are not getting kick-ass Buffalo style hot wings. While a tad on the expensive side, they do not have a delivery fee and their minimum order is relatively low. There are a lot of pizza joints in the world and Red Boy pretty much falls smack dab in the middle of the pack. read more

Delicious pizza! Crust is crunchy We just had regular pepperoni and as we are in the "High munchies tree moment ... this pizza hit home LOL When I am in town I will come again! read more

I've been here five different times for the fives it was very good and the fifth time was a little bit more pasta sauce than I prefer. The flavor of the pepperoni was good. service has always been quick, efficient to the point I would recommend going here for slices I haven't had a full pie but I imagine after the slices the pies are probably really good read more

The owner of this business is completely out of his mind. I'd been ordering from them forever and really like the people who work there. So this is in no way a reflection on them. I've never had anyone give me worse service for mediocre pizza. Unfortunately they're one of the only places that delivers much past 10:00pm. Probably why he's able to treat people so poorly. If someone opens another pizza place that delivers late I'll gladly flyer the whole county asking that all customers of the Red Boy pizza on 4th st. make the switch. Wow... F$3@$ that guy. Never again. He's so cheap I wouldn't be surprised if I was eating peoples missing pets all this time. Mind blowing. read more

Red Boy Pizza - Delivered pepperoni and black olive!!!!!!! - Italian Near Me - San Rafael, California

Guys. PLEASE SPEND AT LEAST $.10/lb more on your cheese spec and your overall quality will be 75%better. You clearly skimp on this ingredients. I know damn well how much pizza margins are and the cheese you are throwing on this pizza completely ruins the sauce and bread. It is overly creamy and loose in an over processed way. It doesn't even taste like mozzarella. You guys make a great pie except for this unfortunate sourcing mistake. Keep it up. read more

Just not good at all. Chewy crust. Burnt. And way over priced. This used to be such a great pizza years ago but it's definitely gone downhill read more

I came here a couple days ago and had a real disappointing excuse of pizza by the slice. $6 for 2 slices and a soda, not bad except the slices were half size so it was a regular slice compared to other pizzeria. Pizza was burnt to a crisp (black) on the under crust. Also a guy - who I think was working there - was wearing his mask wrong too. read more

Ok so the food is traditionally very good. Today everything changed. Almost a $100 order through Grubhub was 30 minutes late. The delivery driver dropped my drink on ground causing them to explode(2 of 6). Guy was super rude. Food cold. Is theis restaurant fault? Directly no however indirectly yes. Refused to replace and or refund order. A long term customer they just lost. read more

This pizza used to be decent. It sucks now. Took over an hour 1/2 for delivery and the pizza tasted like it had been under a heat lamp for days. I always order extra cheese on the Red Boy Delight but it never has much cheese. Dried up. I keep ordering it thinking they'll finally deliver a decent pie, but no such luck. I've decided I'll never order from them again. Definitely do NOT recommend read more

Garlic free. Yummy, just order the double sauce! Was turned onto them by my sister-in-law. Great for to go or delivery!

I don't have high expectations for pizza delivery but my last 3 experiences with this Red Boy location have been absolutely pathetic. Delivery has taken almost DOUBLE the time quoted, product has arrived cold and the staff literally seemed like the whole thing was a joke. When I called to check the status of my order after waiting an hour and twenty minutes, I was actually laughed at and told it was just getting to the oven. I have tolerated this establishment for many years but now- I am done. Epic fail. AND... when our order did arrive, 1 hr and 40 minutes after ordering, they brought the pizza but not the salad we ordered and paid for. The driver was actually lovely and offered to go back and get the salad but we were super over it at that point. read more

We ordered pizza for a large party of 60+ guests. The experience was great from the get-go. Luciano helped with advice on the right amount, and had it delivered exactly when he promised. The pizza itself was delicious, complimented the party theme, and everyone enjoyed it. I was very pleasantly surprised!! It definitely exceeded my expectations!! read more

Takeout/delivery only. They sell slices, which is great for those of us who don't want a whole pie. The pizza is good. Nice crust, good quality toppings. This is old-fashioned, basic pizza, not new-agey/"California" pizza. Service is pretty good - I've always been treated well. Not sure what all the complaining is about. It's a take-out pizza joint, not the French Laundry, for crying out loud. read more

Best take out pizza in central Marin. Their pizza is great. Crust, sourdough - seriously bomb. And that sauce? Oh man. I love it. A touch of spice and kinda sweet! Really really good. And the toppings are great too. Awesome pepperoni and really good cheese quality. They get the crust just right. And I can order online. I don't eat at any of the restaurants, but why do I have to? I don't know why you wouldn't like this pizza. It is hands down the best take out available. Listen Marin... its not fancy flat bead pizza. It's pizza. Get over it. read more

When I called Red Boy Pizza, I told an enthused cashier our address and looked forward to my coworkers and I rejoicing around our extra large pizza. However, THREE HOURS LATER, we remain...hungry, our blood sugar low, increasing symptoms of depression as our hope dwindles. We have spoken on the phone with Red Boy Pizza at least 6 times since first ordering our pizza, apparently all for naught. We have provided in excruciating detail our location, however the person delivering our pizza appears to have the sense of a direction equal to that of a pillbug. Even with his smartphone, he has not been able to locate our fairly simple address. I can only assume he has run off with our pizza to some unknown, remote destination where he flicks another slice of pepperoni out the window with every call he avoids answering. Even the pizza shop no longer knew where the driver had gone. It sounds a little dramatic; but we have been deceived unjustly. Hopefully this scathing review will save you from enduring this seemingly never-ending wait for what is probably extremely mediocre pizza. read more

Some of these reviews may be confusing. This particular Red Boy Pizza is on the Miracle Mile and offers takeout and delivery only. There are no pitchers of beer here and no place to sit, unless you consider the parking lot "a place to sit." Pizza is a highly emotional subject to many people, and I've found that people either love or hate Red Boy. The original Red Boy Pizza, which opened in downtown San Rafael during the 1970s, initially offered an Italian restaurant experience with "gourmet" pizza in stark contrast to the Round Table/Straw Hat/Shakey's options at the time. Red Boy subsequently franchised itself locally. Each Red Boy is individually owned and operated, but the ingredients are consistent. Having lived close to the Miracle Mile Red Boy, I ordered their delivery quite frequently. I laughed when a reviewer said that their pizza tasted "sour." Red Boy's trademark is its sourdough crust, which is usually quite excellent. It's quite "bready," however, and will appeal most to carb junkies such as myself. I'm less of a fan of the sauce, which is a little tart for my liking. I do enjoy the cheese and toppings, however. They've always been generous with the toppings. The downside to such generosity is the price. Red Boy is in the upper echelon, pricewise. However, it's not more expensive than the highly inferior Round Table pizza in Red Hill Shopping Center. Delivery is relatively efficient. It's not 30-minutes-or-less Dominos, but it's not unreasonable given that they hand-throw their dough and make their pizzas from scratch. The salads are forgettable. I wouldn't bother. Slices, which can be purchased on-site, are a very good deal. They're so large that the chefs cut them in half. You really get two slices for the price of one. As has been mentioned in other threads, the "original" Red Boy Pizza on 4th Street has closed and is now called "Big Dog Pizza." Rumor has it that they lost their liquor license by serving minors. There are some indications that ownership is essentially the same, but I cannot confirm that. read more

yawnssssssss........ nothing to write home about. I tried it once. Will not order from them again. The one in Larkspur was bland and boring. There are too many other great pizza places around. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! When you call the guy on the phone he is always busy but makes sure to take your order quickly so that he can get your pie cookin. The crust is something that only a pizzexpert would know how to do....sourdough crust...come on...heaven!!! Delivery service is the way I usually go with these guys because the seating arrangement is a bit tight. Do yourself a favor and if you need to feed people pizza....pick this place!!!!! Personal favorite order= pepperoni and black olive with a side salad. P.S. They have the GOOD ranch. Ranch lovers you know what I'm talking about!! read more
