The crust is chewy and delicious Never disappoints! Even if it's a bit on the pricey side we always get our pizzas from Slice House.

This little restaurant in Castro Valley marketplace really surprised me with the level of friendly and attentive service. My mom is gluten-free and they jumped in to help her find something that would work for her. We both ended up getting market salad, which was a good salad. I did think the dressing was a little sweet, but I also liked that it was a balsamic (the sweet part) and olive oil instead of a premixed dressing. I probably could've asked for something less sweet. What I loved about the dressing is that they used olive oil and not canola oil. Most restaurants use canola, and olive oil is so much better. I've tried the pizza from here before. It was brought to our work from someone so it was a little cold, so it's hard to give an accurate review, but it tasted good. Tony's in the city he has my favorite pizza, and it's the same owner, so I'd like to believe that it's just as good as there. The Detroit pizzas are my favorite! Again the stand out was the service. I wouldn't say it was fast food, but it was counter service, and I just really felt the service was above and beyond. I'll definitely go back, and next time I'll absolutely get pizza! read more

Lots of choices of pizza. Huge slices. Yummy! You can buy a healthier drink from the grocery in the building if you don't want soda. Friendly service. Chairs and tables are available if you want to eat in, but can be loud during business hours. read more

Tried three different types of slices sold at the counter. Favorite was a meat and cheese. Really like the thin crust fold in the hand type of feel. Plenty of packets of cheese and chili flakes available at the counter. Price-wise is a mid range in comparison for nearby places. For a quick bite, this is the place to go. Plenty of seating within the establishment inside and nearby areas. Dessert- I would skip or try another option if they had it. The Gelato made the pizza a little heavier. Would try the other options next time. Also there is an app for promotionals. read more

Have always been a fan of Tony's pizzerias - from Pyzanos to Tony's Napolenta, Capos and now Slice House. First time at this location and it did not disappoint. They had a lot more pizza-by-the-slice options than posted online, which I was so happy about. There were at least 6 choices. I had the Popeyes Detroit style slice. It was full of flavor - great balance of the parm, ricotta and garlic. After they reheated it, crust was crispy and as good as freshly baked. It was a huge slice, a lot of carbs but I finished it! I also ordered the arugula bacon salad. It was a good shareable size salad. They didn't skimp on the bacon. Was good. Service was great. We ordered our slice and the guy brought it to our table. I was able to get a parking space and a table, so no complaints, but I can see it being a little tricky during peak hours. read more

Had lunch here on a weekday and it was pretty busy. I tried both the New York and Detroit style pizza slices. I dined here so the pizza was warmed up in the rolling toaster. The New York style pizza got really hard after being warmed up in the toaster so it was hard to chew. The Detroit pizza slice was nicely warmed though and it was perfect. Definitely recommend the Detroit pizza if you like soft and fluffy pizza! read more

Been getting their pizza since the first restaurant Tony's original restaurant in Castro Valley! It was the very best ever! We have continued to get pizza forever! Besides, zero ambiance, cold place! Tonight we came to the Slice House in the Market Place! THE MOST DISAPPOINTING PIZZA we have EVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE,!!! There was barely a tint, color of tomato sauce!!!! ! Barely could see it! ! Cheese, none that we could see! It was hard and tasteless, not even warm!!! Maybe sat there way too long! Mine was Peperoni, my husband's was Peperoni and Salami I believe! You should be ashamed of yourself serving this! I also ordered a salad, the one with the walnuts! Received a very tiny container of oil, and a very tiny container of some dark vinegar, I could not make out the taste ! Gross! Large salad, Some good Italian dressing would have been great! Tony, get a grip and go back to serving great food please! Not worth our money, especially in this economy! Sorry, but had to post it! I JUST NOW POSTED THIS AWFUL REVIEW AND YOU HAVE WRITTEN BACK THANKING ME FOR MY GREAT REVIEW,!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.?? I THINK YOU BETTER RE READ IT AGAIN BEFORE THANKING ME FOR MY GREAT REVIEW, (NOT) THE WORSE REVIEW I HAVE EVER LEFT, PAY ATTENTION AND RE READ WHAT I WROTE, I noticed you have done this before to another bad review! TONY, PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS,!!! read more

Amazing as always. You can't go wrong with Slice House, it's a classic fan favorite. It gets busy yet their service is superior and quick. Everything is always fresh and you can see them in the works while you're there. They have beer and soda. There are TVs in the sitting area. You can pick up, order online etc. It's worth the wait if there's any. Thin slice is my thing but they have the square pies as well. They have limited types, not the full menu so keep that in mind. Sometimes they run out. read more

Really good pizza. I used to go to the San Leandro location, but finally they opened up a location in Castro Valley. Definitely the best pizza in CV/Hayward area. Lots of different combos, lots of different styles. I normally get NY style or Detroit. I usually get the combo with everything in a large. Good value, high quality dough and toppings. I've told everyone I know in the area about slice house and have introduced it to many of my friends. I just found out they have a points program. I wish I knew that about 8 or 9 large pizzas ago.... oh well. I'm letting anyone reading this about it now. You're welcome. I just found out that there is a HH. Buy a beer, get a pepperoni or cheese slice for $3. This seems like a decent deal if you don't have craft beer on deck at home, or if you just want to eat out. I'll have to check this out in person soon. I believe it is M-F 3-5, but call to verify this if you want to confirm. I'll be going here again in the next week or so. I'm a bit of a pizza fanatic... read more

Pizza is fairly good. Many pre-made choices to chose from to be heated up and ready for dine in or take out. Prices are decent. Service is quick besides the wait time for you pizza to be heated and ready to go. The location is perfect, small but enough room for a few tables for families and friends to Mickey. Tables are out side and around the eatery in other random spots. read more

This is the first time I've been to this location. Glad they opened one at the Castro Valley Marketplace. I came here on a weeknight and did a walk-in order. The line to order went quickly. After ordering my pizza, it took about 25 min to get my order. I ordered the Chkn Bacon Ranch with Detroit crust. It was good! Loved the crust! It was crispy and buttery on the bottom and on the sides. Loved the thickness of the crust as well. The ranch dressing, chicken, tomatoes, and onions were all good. No complaints. read more

It was a hike for most of us from different parts of East Bay but, oh, so so worth it! Location: The restaurant is inside the Marketplace with sufficient parking all around it. The Marketplace is still filling up and provides an attractive location. We were a bakers dozen and we tried a bunch of different pies. The GM Colin was awesome and personally took care of ensuring that the pies came out sequentially at the correct temperature. So many choices and just one stomach! I found this location much more inviting than the Walnut Creek one. Will be back! read more

This place is always so packed, and rightfully so! Always order ahead of time, so you do not have to wait very long in line. There is also seating at this marketplace if you choose to eat there. I really enjoy the texture and taste of this pizza, it makes it unique from other pizza places I've been to in the bay . I come back as often as I can! read more

Welcome back Tony Gemignani! I used to frequent their location when they started Pyzano's on E Castro Valley Blvd and then sadly closed about 10 years ago. Their pizza was always the "go-to" gourmet pizza when we wanted a break from the chain spots. Fast forward and he has expanded and become an icon in the pizza world with various styles of pizzas: California, Detroit, New York, Sicilian etc. Their hearty sauce is money with a nice balance of sweetness, salt and spices and for me, makes the pizza with their fresh ingredients. First visit friendly and efficient but didn't have any Detroit-style pizza available around 2pm on a weekday. Decided to pick up an arugula salad as always a hit for me. Bacon, freshly-made mozzarella balls, shaved parmesan, sweet peppers and balsamic reduction with olive oil. Flavors all meld nicely with texture. Limited seating inside. Tables that used to be available outside have all been removed and some construction is happening. Hopefully, they're bringing back the seating for customers to dine onsite. read more

well, knowing it's from Tony's Napoletana, you'll be confident of the quality and you won't be disappointed. I like how you can pick different styles, e.g., Sicilian, thin crust (NY), Detroit, etc. And I'm sure they're all as delicious as the one we had. The Castro Valley Marketplace is a tough place for restaurants. I'm not sure any of them have been there more than two years and the turnover is crazy. So I really hope Slice House can survive. I wish their space was bigger, there are only a few tables and it feels like you're in the entryway of the indoor space. read more

Slice House opened where Cannery Kitchen & Tap was. Inside dining only. Same seating as before. Offerings: whole pizzas (grandma, detroit, new york, sicilian), slices (detroit, new york) changes daily, antipasta/salads, drinks/beer... Drill: order at counter. Slice options on display. Pd. Pickup at end station in 10ish minutes. Take out orders in person only-no phone orders Bites: slices-Combo Americana (6.65), Wiseguy (6.65) both new york, passed on detroit slices. Americano- chewy, semi dry-not much tomato nor cheese, sodium aftertaste from abundance of salami. Smoked bacon, pepperoni, lingua, sausage. Veggies: mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, cherry tomatos & green onions not enough prescene to balance sodium excess. No repeat.. Wiseguy had a better balance with sweet & spicy Italian sausage, tomato sauce, mozzarella. Pepperoni. Riotta, hot pepper oil, & green onions. Flavas intensed, layered. Would repeat a similar version of this. 4ish stars service very clear/helpful. Seating inadequate as is parking at peak times. October is National Pizza month read more

I love this location! This place is roomy and has great options. The parking was in the back and easy to find. The Bacon Arugula salad is my favorite to side with a slice of thin pepperoni. I also tried the wings and they are also very delicious. The service was very friendly and easy to approach when asking for updates as lunch time does get a bit busy. Definitely a great spot for lunch. read more

Great pizza but becarf when you pay with credit card I handed my card I only got a slice so in my eyes no need to tip!! But I got an alert as I usually get well they decided to tip themselves 5$ tip for a slice!!! I called ask why not tell your customers that you're serving yourself A 5$ tip for A slice!! They hung up! We'll just be careful with your credit card at this place! Terrible!!'n read more

Seriously this is the worst Slice House. They keep changing their rules about doing 1/2 & 1/2 pizzas. Now they aren't doing them even though they have plenty of times in the past. It's annoying and ridiculous. Save yourself the headache and order from San Leandro because they are consistently happy to accommodate their customers. read more

This was a great find! The Slice House is inside an area that has several eateries and a small fancy neighborhood market. The staff was friendly. When you come into the area there is a glass case with pizza slices. It has a lot to offer. I imagine it changes from day to day. The pizzas we had were pepperoni and one that had veggies and ham and Alfredo sauce. I wish I would have looked at the name. It was all delicious. I even took home a slice of cheese for my daughter. The slices are huge - really two big slices. The space was nice and clean but small. There was another sitting area around the corner. Overall it's a good deal. About $7 or so for a large slice. read more

Great selection of slices! I came here for a post-dinner dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of slices offered. We got a Detroit style slice and it was heavenly. The dough was so chewy yet crispy on the edges. The quality of the ingredients is great. It's a very small seating area so I would probably do take out here. The pizza takes a bit to heat up, but overall the service was efficient. I highly recommend! read more

I have experienced pizza made by Tony Gemignani when he was at the Castro Valley 580 Market Place off of Castro Valley Blvd, some years ago. I don't remember the pizza being anything special, but that could just be because I am not really a huge pizza eater. The serving size/slice is ample, the line moved quickly and the staff was very friendly. My only complaints are, I watched an employee fix her hair and then she proceeded to help customers with their food orders without washing her hands. Because I worked in catering and food service, I pay attention to this. There should be handwashing going on after touching hair or face. No one wants to imagine eating hair or face oils in their food. The other concern, rather than complaint is that the line when it starts raining will either be diverted to the inside of the natural food market causing a jam up of patrons ordering and waiting for their orders or be diverted outside into the fall/winter weather. I found the prices to be pretty competitive and I will surely be checking out the slice of the day. I'll try it again. This overall was a good experience. read more

Best pizza in the county! Try it sometime. You won't be sorry. You can order in or do take out! read more

I've been a Tony Gemignani fan since the Pyzano's days back in the '90s. Growing up in CV, I've missed Pyzano's dearly since it closed more than a decade ago but still enjoyed the pizza when I've visited SF. That being said, I was thrilled when it was announced that a Slice House would be opening up in the Castro Valley Marketplace! They've got a little nook in the marketplace, it is a small spot and not too much seating, so not great for big groups, but the pizza is still great! You can order online if you want to cut down your waiting time by preordering or if you walk up they have a nice selection of slices you can buy- great if you're not too hungry or want to mix and match! I love the different styles of pizzas you can get- NY style, Detroit style, Sicilian, etc. We've been a bunch of times and will continue to come back when we need a pizza fix! read more

What a find! The slices are huge! Very well seasoned. Very cool concept. You order a slice that's cooked then they run it through the pizza oven again. I had the Traditional & my wife had the Rosa. All their variety of slices are very good. The staff is extremely friendly & courteous. Highly recommend this place. read more

I know this place is become a chain, but gosh does it deliverer! Square Pizza is fantastic

Good local pizza. Around 10 tables inside and they have a few slices of the day in the front you can choose from. I came around 4:30pm on a Monday and there was a line of about 6-7 people in front of me. Line moved fast and I was also able to order a slice of Detroit ("Popeye") + 12" pizza (was told 40 minutes, but the pizza was ready in about 30) The Popeye Detroit was soft and had a slight chew with crispy cheese around the sides. It was a tad salty, but it may have just been the particular toppings on the pizza. The 12" pizza itself had good flavor (hot honey). Nice crispy pepperoni and saltiness from the sausage. I will say it was slightly small (6 total slices) to share between two people - especially if you're hungry. I would like to return and try their Sicilian + other flavors for New York style. Definitely a good local pizza place! I recommend trying if you live in the immediate area. read more

I love to order by the slice. staff is always friendly and helpful. We consider this place to be a great stop before we shop at the market.

Gonna keep it short and sweet. It was underwhelming. Nothing special at all. The slices wasn't fresh and hot. Even with them reheating them was still like warm and a bit stale. Service was just ok had to wait for them to finish a conversation with each other to be greeted and served. The restroom needed some attention! Overall 3/10 read more

For a very long time I have known about this venue, but I have never actaully set foot in it. This was my foot time inside The Castro Valley Marketplace On bro-date with my buddy Jose to catch up on life and progress, he said we should try this place out. Immediately the wall (pictured) caught my eye. I loved drawing as a kid and those pizza boxes were up my alley. Anyways, I order just a Pepperoni slice and a Modelo. Suprised by the qaulity of the pizza, not that I thought it wouldn't be good but I also wasn't ready for it to be that good! Smacked my hunger just right. Paired with the Modelo I ordered made it just a fantastic over-all experience. Well kept but small seating area inside the establishment itself but plenty of outdoor seating is just an ear shot away. It was a quieter experience than I had believed it to be as well. read more

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

The pizza was great - toppings are generous and the crust itself is thin and a mix of thin and chewy. The pizza itself was huge and the slice proportions make me reminiscent of the old Pyzano's restaurant Tony used to have in CV all those years ago (I got a 20in pizza with a small condiment shaker for reference). They have many different pizza slices that you can order individually as well (that they seem to rotate throughout the week) and host a variety of deals and discounts throughout the week (primarily a weekly happy hour and a small discount for first responders). The place is located within the Castro Valley marketplace in downtown, so it's a little bit hidden if you're not already aware of its existence - the location itself is a pretty open area with a variety of other dining options you can explore while waiting for your food to get done cooking. read more

Ordered online on a Sunday evening for a family party. We ordered the XL 20" Combo Americano, Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Motorhead. The pick-up process was pretty smooth and we waited about 5-10 minutes after the expected pick-up time for all three pizzas to be ready. The restaurant gave us paper plates and small bags for the parmesan cheese and red pepper packets upon request. I appreciated how there was an option for the pizzas to be double cut because the slices are quite large. We had about 12 people and had many leftovers. My favorite was the Motorhead because it basically had all of my favorite toppings on there. I thought the ricotta was a nice balance to the saltiness from other toppings. read more

Is it even worth writing a review? Everyone that knows pizza knows Tony's. Tony's makes world class Neopolitan pizza, but that does not hold up when you do it by the slice. But, most of the other styles are available here, because they *do* hold up when relatively fresh. And, I dare say, it's more consistent at this Slice House than others (and, yes, even the original), so kudos to the staff here. CV needs another quality pizzeria, but if we only have one, I'm happy that we can have (a franchise) of the king. read more
