Tried to order a slice of cheese pizza on Tuesday at 6pm (peak hr). Even though there were a few slice left on display, they were "reserved for". So I asked for a slice of Sweet Gino. Again, was initially told they were reserved. At this point was a bit annoyed and asked what was available that's not spicy. That's when they changed their mind and said they can sell me a Sweet Gino, but gave me a beeper to wait. With significant wait time, I finally got my slice, which tasted stale.... Thank you, but no thank you for next time. I hate to write bad reviews, but this is for the good of their own establishment. Coming during a peak hour and having nothing available esp a slice of cheese pizza seems a bit unprepared. I wasn't the only customer that got turned away from ordering slices they wanted. The lady in front of me wanted two slices of cheese pizza but they only had one available. read more

Excellent pizza & very friendly staff. We just moved into Castro Valley & found the BEST pizza in town! Ingredients are fresh & the number of pizzas they pump out of the kitchen is amazing. read more

I always loved Slice House Pizza slices but unfortunately both the San Leqndro and Castro Valley locations run out of basic slices like Pepperoni and meat pizzas so it's a waste of time lately. It's becoming a regular thing now so really disappointed in them. Especially since they don't answer their phones so you end up wasting time and gas to see what's left is pizzas no one wants. read more

So, if you don't have any dietary restrictions, I would strongly encourage you to try a Grandma Wiseguy. It's not too thin, not too thick -- not too salty, not too sweet. And one is not enough. The shaved green onions and hot pepper oil help make this such a special pizza. Truly a balance of all flavors: sweet, spicy, savory, and fresh. Drizzle a little bit of ranch... agh. Immediately going into my long list of favorites. So, so good. Notable mentions from the menu: - Burrata Queen (get it Detroit Style for a luxury/elevated cheesy bread experience) - Sweet Gino - [Hawaiian] Pigman - Drunken Italian Oh and first time trying the Calabrian aioli -- absolutely amazing! Loved it on both the Wiseguy and Burrata Queen. read more

The food was delicious and the service exceptional. Maria went above and beyond to make our to-go lunch smooth--she's amazing!

Love the pizza but the operation of this location is not great. Went in on a Friday for dinner after ordering the pizza was going to take over an hour - I do not understand why pizza would take so long ? I remember eating at the original location in Castro Valley many years ago and it never took this long for a pizza. Something is missing with the operations of the new location. read more

Can't go wrong with the choices at Slice House, something for everybody when there are nine types in the case to choose from. My favorite is always the Detroit style, it was the Red Top that day, with the charred cheese along the crust edge, We also had a Sweet Gino and Wiseguy slices. Ask them to split the slices so you can share with a dining partner. read more

Good pizza, although it did not rise to the pantheon of pizza gods, wherein resides my favorite, Marley G's, of Alameda. But definitely above average, and with a generous amount of toppings and a nice French bread crust. I ordered a pizza with extra sauce, and (as usual) did not get it. I also ordered a side of sauce to cover that eventuality. I did not get that either. So good pizza, so-so service. You definitely could do worse. But I would recommend that you take a field trip up the freeway to Alameda, and check out Marley G's. That is some bomb ass pizza!!! read more

Excellent food. The crust makes the pizza and I think slice house nails that! Absolutely a must do in Castro Valley! read more

(4 out 5) Food is very good, spicy oil is very good as well, I even bought a bottle, the first time I went the experience was great, not a big pizza guy but it made me want to come back, first time I came I got the hot honey pizza and really enjoyed it, the person that was working was a great guy and we had a quick chat about a movie haha! The second time I came the food was great again but there was a worker there that was making my fiancé very uncomfortable both times she got up to go to the bathroom and second time to throw somthing away he tried cat calling her and approaching her, super unprofessional, ambiance is okay, kind of in the corner of a big market place. And not much seating for how much people eat there, great pizza... kinda pricey. When you come tell them Rothyy sent you! read more

Best pizza in the bay! Love the variety, creative combinations, the arugula salad, and the best ranch!!

It was take out and it was good but pricey for the size! By the time we ate it when we got home it was cooled off. Should have microwave it but didn't. read more

The pizza we ordered was amazing! We order one with pastrami and fig glaze. I'm happy Tony's back!

The pizza and salad is amazing! I am coming back. I can see why Tony Gemignani pizzas are award winning. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Great salad too. - Pizza Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Pretty good! My only real complaint is lack of phone and Internet orders. We wanted multiple pies for a party, so my friend went and got in line before they opened (she was #2 on a Sunday) then had to hang out for almost an hour waiting with nothing to do. We wanted to try different crusts, so we got: - 12 inch New York style BBQ Chicken with NO cheese - Sicilian style Rosa - Grandma style The Genoa All the pizzas were praised at the party. The Genoa was the overall favorite for both toppings and crust. Sicilian style was very fluffy and bready, a true focaccia. Looking forward to trying more pizzas in the future. read more

The best pizza around! I eat here multiple times a week. Great food and great service. I grew up eating at Pyzanos until they closed and I was very happy when Slice House opened and brought amazing pizza back to Castro Valley! read more

Loved the pizza boxes on the wall. Tried the Wiseguy and it was perfection. We live in San Leandro and prefer the vibe in the Castro Valley location. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Pizza Near Me - Castro Valley, California

This review is based MOSTLY on the more than 2 1/2 hour wait that they proposed to my husband just a few minutes ago (Friday, 10/4). please note that we attempted to call ahead, which would've made things easier to wait, but they are not accepting phone orders or Internet orders. This is 2024. We are not waiting two plus hours for pizza essentially a no sit down place. It's time to change something about your process or you will lose business, like you already did. Headed to Canyons Barbecue. Please note, last week we had the Genoa Detroit style pizza. Definitely needed something, probably sauce. It was very dry, but also very greasy. So, we attempted to go today and try a different style crust and ingredients to give it one more shot. Obviously, that didn't work out. So our experience so far is that the pizza was mediocre and the service is unacceptable. I would advise anyone that decides to patronize them to think twice about going on a weekend or during dinner time and also grab some paper towels to soak up the grease from the Detroit style pizzas. read more

Coming back to give another one star since Mia said my issue was resolved. My issue was never resolved! Anything being resolved, I was treated very rudely and then someone goes and respond to my comment so that the public thinks it was taken care of it absolutely was not taken care of! read more

This review is strictly for the pizza. Staff was friendly and responsive. I ordered for takeout and received my pizza a few mins after my scheduled pickup time. I ordered a NY Style Pepperoni pizza hoping to be transported back to the streets of New York, but unfortunately it transported me back to Costco. Pizza was really doughy and thick. I think some parts of the pizza were undercooked because of how chewy it was. Totally looked similar to a Costco pepperoni pizza. Completely missed the mark for a pizza advertised as "New York Style". read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Pizza spot! They make great pizza, and the service people are welcoming. We love Tony's pizza. We used to go out to San Fran to eat it. When Slice House opened in San Leandro, we started going there, but now, they opened this location in Castro Valley, just a few blocks from where we live. So far, we have tried their Vegetarian, their cheese, and Sweet Gino, and I'm obsessed with all of them. My husband and I are looking forward to trying more of their Pizza. You seriously need to try this spot. You can buy by the slice or you can buy a whole pie!! read more

Best pizza in town. Round Table Pizza finally has meaningful competition. We've gone here two times - one to just pick up individual slices - which the kids loved, and another time we ordered 3 pies - two Italian style, one Detroit. All 3 were really tasty. I love the especially buttery crisp on the crust. read more

Average at best, the dough was so thin it barely made it to my mouth and although the toppings were tasty, they were scant. I suppose folks in CV were just happy to have a new pizza place other than Round Table or Mountain Mikes. For the price, I'll continue to drive over the hill and get pizza I can pick up with plenty of toppings. I'll have to say, Slice House did a great job hyping this place up because it's not what it appears to be. read more

What an amazing experience. I went on opening night and was surprised at how delicious the pizza was. The staff were really excited to be opening and it was the best pizza I've had in years. The wings are also 5 stars. read more

We waited for the opening excitement to wane before we visited to avoid the long wait times . Whole pies were taking 30+ minutes before ready. Many whole pies for take out were sold while we're eating. Our slice wait was about ten minutes. Various slices are sitting on shelves waiting to be reheated when ordered. Pepperoni cups were filled with grease. The grandma sauce is sweet and overpowering the other toppings. The thick crust slice needed a better ratio of toppings to crust. Ambiance was busy, and a family of five walked away due to lack of seating while tables had only one or two people at each. "Respect the Craft" is the motto, but it must be for the dough tossing, not yet perfected for the finished product. This may come across as brutal, but it's a respectable opinion. read more

Ordered a paesano usually replace mushrooms and add olives but in this case slice house at the castro valley location you cannot make changes or substitutions.. Definitely gonna stick to san leandro much better customer service and better accommodation for dietary restrictions!.. read more

Delicious pie but I also ordered the Bucatini with meat sauce was it delicious and saucy. read more

We had the detroit style pizza, a caesar salad and a side of meatballs. The pizza was alright, I just wasn't blown away by it. I've never had detroit style before so I didn't know what to expect. I just found the sauce a litlle too sweet and the pizza itself was very puffy and airy. But that may be how the dough is suppossed to be. The food was good, but I wasn't blown away. read more

I've never understood why people like pizza so much until I took one bite into the WISEGUY New York style last Friday at this place.. I think I'm in love, hehe... Came back the same night and tried a slice of THE TRUE ITALIAN. Sunday came back and bought a 20" TOMATO PIE, and tonight another 20" TOMATO PIE... I think you know how I feel about the pizza here. I will for sure come back for more... the question is, what should I try next? :) read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - 20" Tomato Pie on New York style crust - Pizza Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Location is good. This place is within Castro valley Market, so you have access to the nice grocer, butcher, sushi, dumplings, cream puffs, olive oil stand, and bakery. $11 for pepperoni slice and a medium drink. My slice was really good. Generous toppings. Crust is thin, New York style, little crisp then chewy but not undercooked. Let my 4 yr old try a bite without pepperoni and his eating was an enthusiastic fist pump. Worth checking out and a great addition to the overall vibe they're going for at the location. Also staff were super friendly and obviously trying hard to be welcoming and keep things moving. read more

Food like always delicious! Even for a busy Friday night i ordered through the app and had scheduled for 7:35pm and pizza was right on time!! Service quick but yet attentive and everyone with a smile :) we'll never stop ordering from here and the San Leandro locations ! read more

I'd love to give the food a rating, but unfortunately I was unable to get pizza on my last two visits so I can only rate the service. I was actually visiting the Castro Valley marketplace last Thursday for the first time because I had come across it during an Internet search . The restaurant had not opened yet. They explained that they opened at 11am, and although it was around 10:55am, and they were just standing around talking, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and quietly walked over to get some delicious baked bread from another shop in the marketplace. Today I had a renewed appetite for a wonderful slice of pizza, so this time I showed up around 11:05am. There was a lady being helped in front of me so I stood in line. The cashier finished ringing up the lady and asked her to have a seat, as she walked another customer's pizza to their table. When she came back instead of helping me, she took a phone call, understandable, until 10 minutes later, I was still standing there in front of her as she answered questions about time and location. As she continued to talk on the phone, the other customer became agitated and looked at me, her pizza was just sitting there on the oven tray, and had not yet been pushed into the oven to warm. I asked the customer if that was her pizza. She nodded yes and rolled her eyes.When the cashier heard me ask the question, she pushed the pizza into the oven. Meanwhile, as she continued to talk on the phone, the line was growing longer behind me. She finally hanged up the phone. (no phone order was taken). I said "never mind", because by now my lunch is half over. She said ok nonchalantly. I returned to ask for a business card with a phone number to the restaurant on it. She said. " sadly we don't have any." She did look around to find a menu for me. I said to myself, maybe I'll have better luck on the phone, but if the pizza tastes anything like the service was, I don't want any. I guess I'll travel to Berkeley. Peace over pizza. read more

The Detroit pizza we ordered has definitely been better. The big problem was the pizza was ordered online at 4:45 and supposed to be ready at 5:30. Got there, it wasn't ready, was told it would 10 minutes. 10 minutes later told it would be another 15 minutes. They offered me free stuff, but just wanted to get my pizza and go. This has happened before when they were really busy, not that busy tonight. read more

The best pizza you can get in Castro Valley. I used to go Pyzanos a lot as a kid - it's where we would go when we wanted to get "the good pizza" in town, but Slice House is even better. It's great to have Tony back. Went to the opening today and we tried a lot of the pies they had in the slice case - motorhead (Detroit style but the rest were thin crust), wise guy, traditional, pepperoni, cheese. Motorhead was my favorite but they were all good. I meant to take photos but we ate all the pizza before I remembered. read more

This pizza is not very good. I was expecting something much better. There aren't many good options in CV or Hayward. So I wanted this place to be worth the price. I was expecting something like the old Pizanos Pizza in CV. I just tried the pizza so I can't comment on anything else that they offer. I bought a slice and they throw it back in the oven to warm it up. It comes out pretty dried and stiff as cardboard. read more

Love that there is a Slice House in Castro Valley, it's one of our favorite pizza spots. My family loves the NY and Detroit style pizzas. Our go to pies are the Hawaiian hitman and Wiseguy. Since we have little ones we ask for a double cut. read more

I love the food here. 3rd time I have ordered to go. I always get slices and a whole pie. Don't understand why I get called my name when my complete order is not ready. By the time the whole pizza is done my slices are cold. Please make this a better process read more

Slice house was great. Definitely the best pizza in Castro valley. It's really a pick up and go spot couple tables with a bunch of people waiting for there to go orders. A xl pizza comes with 6 massive slices. I'm not a fan of that but we have a pizza cutter so I made it into 12 slices still nice size. Definitely a return location read more

The pizza flavor was good. I got the cal Italia. Waited approximately 40 minutes for cold pizza. We ate inside so we ate the pizza right away. They are super busy so that may be a reason why they gave us cold pizza read more
