First time trying this spot, it's was recommended by a friend, and ai much say the pizza slices hit the spot "very satisfying " Veggie, Spicy Honey , and sausage . The slices are well/nice/big and filling. The staff was also helpful, I will definitely be back. Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend this establishment read more

Super delish! If you are looking for slices or whole pizza, check out Slice House by Tony G! I had the Detroit style pizza and the slices are huge! Be prepared to practice your patience but believe me you will not be disappointed. There is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The set up is not ideal since it is a small space it can be hard to wait for your order due to high traffic, but the staff work hard and fast so the wait is not too bad. 10/10 on the pizza selection, taste and quality. Ingredients are fresh and they have a big selection of topping and options available. read more

Ordered for delivery. Got the combo Americano. Pizza was good. Big slices. Not bad. NY style. Delivery was fair time and average, about 30-40mins. I also ordered the 8 piece wings. Buffalo flavor. The wings were a bit dry and over cooked. Can see some burnt parts. I also got only 7 pieces, they shorted me one. Not enough sauce. Could have added sauce after they cooked it too cause sauce dried up. read more

This food is . So good that I had to cater for my whole church leadership. Definitely some of the best pizza in The Bay.

Swung through yesterday around 5:15 PM. My friend and I ordered the same beer but hers was in the larger cup and mine was in the tiny water/soda cup. Wth? My salad had no dressing on it, so I took it home so I could put dressing on it. The traditional pizza slice was ok. For paying over $30 bucks and getting ripped off, not sure I'll be back. read more

Don't get how they are rated they number 1 pizza in SF. Pizza was okay but not as good as the buzz about how great this pizza is supposed to be. Probably not coming back as I found better places for pizza in Pleasanton. read more

MY HONEST REVIEW OF THIS PLACE...I love the variety of different styles of pizza and it's good, but not great. A place like this I had high expectations given the fact that there isn't any pizza places like this one. The parking sucks, always a packed parking lot. It's located inside of the store along with different other shops inside, just so that nobody is thrown off by where the hell this place is. The inside is very nice. I love the fact that there's different varieties of food places inside along with it being a grocery shop. The pizza can be fairly good but I had the sweet Gino and a cheese slice today, the cheese pizza was burnt and not good. And then the sweet Gino had good taste but the crust was too damn tough, it hurt my teeth and jaw trying to chew it, holy sht it hurt, like I had to stop eating it for a second. Felt like it was left out too long and the bread just became kinda stale. Very frustrating. Their pizza is good for sure but it's not great. $24 for two slices I had today and two drinks, WAY too much, and not good enough to be overpriced like that. It doesn't make any statements as far as the comparison of other pizza in the area. It can be a hit or miss, I bought a Detroit style pizza one time there, which was good but the crust is tough sometimes, and too much crust in general on the pie, feels like you're eating just bread at times, for me at least. And I also bought a few slices before and tried to reheat them in my oven at home, it came out terrible. But that's just me because I hate leftovers. I like it fresh, and this places offers it fresh, kinda. Best time to come and get a slice is mid day, around noon. Other than the pizza, the fountain drinks aren't as good. I poured myself a Dr Pepper and it tasted terrible like it was watered down. But even with all this said, I will probably come back here and get food again but then again I probably won't because it was $24 for two crappy pieces of pizza that wasn't worth the price at all. I could've bought an entire pizza somewhere else and it would've been fresher. But all in all I will say the pizza can be decent and there is also other great food on their menu. It's worth trying but I would also keep what I said in mind as well. read more

Best pizza! Great quality and taste, love this place!!!! Crust is also bomb if that's your thing as well ;)

I have to echo the other reviews and say the pizza crust is the best crust I've had in the Bay Area. I also enjoy the dollops of ricotta on the wise guy. The meat topping and tomato sauce didn't complement the crust well for me. The meat was a bit too salty for me. Maybe I'll try another topping next time. read more

We're regulars at Tony's in San Francisco and big fans of their pizza. Tried the Castro Valley location for the first time and ordered the Sweet Gino and Italian Tomato Cheese slices. The pizza itself was constructed the same way--but the reheating was way off. Staff left the slices undercooked and barely warm, making them hard and tough to chew. It felt like the team there just pushes buttons without knowing how to properly heat a slice. Management really needs to step in and train the staff. This location doesn't do justice to the Tony's brand. If SF is a 10/10, this was a 2/10. read more

Our usual SH spot is the San Leandro location but had to try out the new CV location. Missed the opening weekend crowd which was great. This location is at the CV Market Place. There is plenty of parking in this area. What I liked about this SH location was that there was more slice options and different ones than the one that San Leandro has. Second thing, they had "weekly deals" It was still kind of crowded so grabbed a slice to go. They also have many workers there - not like the other locations but it could have to do with how busy they get We love SH so we would def come to this location again if in the area. read more

Our go to spot for pizza when we are in the area! We knew that this originated from SF and has expanded to multiple locations. We liked the way that this was set up as it was inside a food court and had enough space for indoor/outdoor dining. We had our dog with us so we were able to sit outside and enjoy our food. If you're in a hurry/want a quick bite, they have ready-made slice options which they can heat up for you. I really appreciate when pizza spots have this option so that we are able to try a variety of options. For those who are baseball fans, this is also the pizza they serve at Oracle Park, so you know it's good! Super friendly staff and quick service. I will definitely be back. read more

"When Excellence Implodes: A Front-Row Seat to Slice House's Public Meltdown" Let me preface this by saying my wife and I have adored Slice House for years. Their pizza is the gold standard -- a transcendent homage to the New York slice. Until tonight, I would've defended them like family. After tonight, I wouldn't trust them to organize a lemonade stand. The Castro Valley Christmas Parade brought the crowds, and with it, a stress test that Slice House failed so spectacularly it should be archived for business schools. What unfolded wasn't dinner service -- it was a crash course in organizational collapse. We ordered two pizzas through DoorDash. The app, blissfully detached from reality, said they were "ready for pickup." I arrived to find what can only be described as a human traffic jam inside a broom closet -- forty people packed in, breathing the same recycled hope. An employee glanced at my phone and said, "Not yet -- maybe eight minutes." Thirty-five minutes later, I asked again. A different employee took a photo of my order confirmation like she was building a case file, disappeared into the kitchen, and returned with the kind of statement that should come with a fainting couch: "Yeah, they haven't even started it. You might as well cancel." Then she walked away. No apology. No explanation. Just the silent confidence of someone utterly unburdened by accountability. Meanwhile, fifteen boxed pizzas sat on the counter -- clearly labeled with names and receipts -- growing cold while staff drifted around them like confused archaeologists. They didn't call a single name. Not one. You could have shouted "free pizza" and achieved more logistical order. When a customer pointed out that his pizza had been sitting there for fifteen minutes, an employee argued with him. As though the laws of time were open to negotiation. And then came the grand finale. One staffer, offended when a customer noted he was moving slowly, retaliated -- mocking the customer back and instructing his coworker to call that person's name last. It was pettiness so pure, it should be preserved under glass. Moments later, in a flourish of unearned martyrdom, he threw his hands up and declared: "I'm f***ing leaving." Reader, he did. And in that moment, for one brief, shining second, he was the most competent person in the building. What used to be a model of great food and neighborhood pride devolved into a tragicomic spectacle of ego, indifference, and chaos. The pizza still tastes like heaven. The experience tonight felt like a staff training exercise in how to set fire to goodwill. Slice House, your product remains extraordinary. But excellence isn't just what comes out of the oven -- it's how you handle the heat when things get messy. Tonight, your team didn't just drop the ball; they drop-kicked it into the street and blamed gravity. If there's ever a documentary titled "The Night the Dough Hit the Fan," I hope you at least get royalties. You've earned them. read more

I like the food, but everytime I order it's later than the ready time. Sometimes 30-40 mins later. I usually order online and purposely wait 10 mins longer before pick up. This last time I went 10 mins after promise time, it wasn't ready. After waiting another 10 mins they come out and say they have to redo the order because it was messed up. 15 mins goes by and it's ready. I get home to find out they didn't sauce the wings. I did not eat the dry wings.. sucks because I love wings. I really hope they can get their timing right. Everything else is great. read more

Finally got around to trying the pizza at Gemignani's Slice House in Castro Valley, where Tony started out many dsecades ago. I ordered a double sausage slice, and I do have to say it was absolutely superb, the best slice of pizza I have had in years, and I make my own, which is pretty darn good. Kinda a funky setup in the CV Marketplace, probably would give it 4.5 stars if I could just due to this, but the pizza is really, really good, and the slices are huge. read more

True Italian is the closest to Arizmendi I could get in CV. I don't understand the cold, uncooked tomatoes tossed on top, that stubbornly keep trying to fall off! Other than that, it's pretty good. read more

Okay this place lives up to the hype! Definitely one of the best pizza I've had in recent memory. I love how there's a variety of pizza to choose from. We opted for the combo which came with tons of veggies and meat. We got the 20" which trust me, can feed at least 4 people. Those slices were huge!!! Bigger than Costco. It took about 20-30 minutes for our pizza to be ready. Around Sunday lunchtime, most seats were taken but we were able to grab a table by the time our pizza was done. Omg they load up the pizza with tons of toppings. It was heaven biting into each one. I am a thin crust gal, but their thin crust had a bit of fluff to it... In a good way! One big slice and I was stuffed! I loved how there were soooo much toppings. The veggies and meat tasted amazing. They have Detroit style pizza too, so I'm itching to come back and try more of their flavors and style! read more

Food quality is great only if hot !! Ordered a slice wait 10 min then asked if they put my order in the oven ? Oh yeah I'll get that in she didn't right away put it in so I told them put it in a box I'll take it home to heat up read more

Slice House blowin' up yo! I think this is their 6th location with more to open I heard. This took over The Cannery Cafe inside the Castro Valley Market Place which is like a foodie mall with one big store and lots of little sub-vendors on the side each slinging their specialties (butcher, bakery, wine shop etc...) I've only been to the San Leandro Slice House, and I like this one better. Even tho they do have ample seating here, this one seems more geared for take-away. The lines can get long here during prime mealtimes like 10+ deep, but don't be scurred, it moves surprisingly quick. There's a huge glass case as you approach the register, showcasing pizzas of all types to get by the slice. Super easy to glance and pick, and they'll just run it through their conveyor oven for a couple of minutes, and voila a hot and melty slice under your nose in less than 5 minutes. Things tried thus far: The Rosa (3.5*) This is a Detroit style pie, thick focaccia-like crust with lots of crisp little cups of pepperoni, a thick tomato sauce laid in strips versus spread throughout the whole pie and they use a brick cheddar instead of mozzarella so the cheese has more flavor and sharpness but less creamy cheese pull. I'd kinda compare this to Square Pie Guys as this style of pizza is showing it's worth and popularity. I like SPG crust a bit more as theirs is a little more supple and soft, yet has a pronounced crisp on the bottom. And for something so thick, I don't want it be dense as well. I found the crust here to be almost too thick and bready and I wasn't loving the bottom crust, kinda chewy and sticky versus crisp and crackly. But I like the toppings here more as they load it like a regular Uhmurican place. SPG totally skimps on the toppings but loads the sauces. You will not get a bite of meat on every bite there, here you will. God bless Uhmerica! NY Combo (4.5*) They do a legit NY style crust. Super thin yet still has good chew. It will droop cuz the slice is so damn big, like as big as my head, and I got a big noggin yo. Toppings legit and balanced, a bit too cheesy for me, but that's my older ass getting nitpicky. I still like the cheese/sauce combo of Toto's Pizzeria in the West Bay better as that is my gold standard for old school pizza. But this place will get my support for the East Bay. Wise Guy (4*) This is more of a meat and cheese pie. Sausage and pepperoni with dots of soft ricotta. I got this for takeout and reheated it a couple of days later. Gotta have a good method for reheating and no a microwave does not enter the conversation. But if you know how, this slice can still rock after a good reheat. I actually make it even more crisp at home. Haven't got a whole pie from here yet, but I'm more of a fan of slices these days anyways. I don't eat pizza all too often anymore, so a nice slice every couple of months is perfect for me. And every slice is well under $8 and totally satisfies my craving. And they are crazy fast and efficient here, so gotta round up to a fiver. Fast, simple, great value and delicious...justified. read more

So happy to have a slice house in the neighborhood. It gets very packed on the weekend like no tables available but if you walk around the corner or on the second floor there is more vacant seating. They have a good system going with a wrap around line that lets you peruse the menu and ready made slices before you order. Ordering whole pizzas can take 30-60 minutes depending on how busy they are. Definitely faster to grab a single slice for them to reheat. I almost always get their NY style crust, the slices are HUGE and never soggy. We really like the pan style crust on the grandma pizza but it's always their "sweet gino" flavor that features a sweeter tomato sauce that's not really for me. My husband likes the Detroit but it is very heavy and loaded with cheese. Next time we go I'll have to try their Sicilian style crust to see if it's a happy medium. Their menu is very family friendly, there are always plain cheese and pepperoni slices for kids along with the more interesting flavors. Will definitely make this our go to pizza joint. read more

I order Pizza Rock every time I'm in Vegas and always bring one home in the car or plane... Their Detroit Style pizza is so friggen good. So I was super excited to see Tony opened Slice House in the bay. Word of caution.. do not expect to move at all for the next few hours after eating..! I ordered 2 Detroit styles and these are 100% the best I've had in the bay. There's 2 things that make a really good Detroit style. The super soft, thick, airy crust and the Wisconsin brick cheese. I'm happy to say the crust and cheese are spot on. The cheese on the crust is also perfectly done. Baked until just barely before being burnt. The main downside I would say is the sauce is a bit on the sweet side but everything else is basically spot on and miles above any other Detroit style I've had in the area. Almost every place uses standard mozzarella cheese which just isn't right. Some places also have the dough too dense or not tall and pillowy. Detroit style is literally my favorite style of pizza.. and I spent an entire month only making pizzas to perfect my technique. I'm happy that I can at least order a great Detroit style now without the 3 days of prep it takes to make it at home!! read more

Thought I'd try this location since I was in this town, I'll stick to San Leandro they seem to get it right!. Ordered a thin crust small Italian sausage, pepperoni & mushroom pizza & was reassured by cashier crust would be thin like the display slices I pointed too. I checked pizza before I left & the mushrooms were chopped so small could hardly see them, so was the sausage & the crust was regular & not thin as promised so I went back & was told when you order a whole pizza's crust are made regular & some slices come thin, after the guy reassured me. Not true San Leandro makes thin crust when I order a whole one. read more

Castro Valley Slice House is a great spot if you're craving classic, satisfying pizza.

The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, making it an easy place to hang out with friends or grab a quick bite. Service is friendly and fast, and everything feels fresh--overall, it's a reliable go-to for really good pizza in Castro Valley and in general read more

The service was really nice, the environment was great. 100% recommended and I'll comeback definitely

Tony's is getting off the ground. Service is a tad bit slow but recently opened in Castro valley . Takes a bit to full gear up. The slices are delicious and the crew friendly. The salads are satisfying too. So happy to have Tony's in town. The market place is a great location. Close to Bart if you come from out of town. read more

Placed an order online for pickup- was greeted by a friendly, professional front counter attendant- gave my name and he even pronounced it correctly! Had my order all ready to go. Ordered the Gemelli with vodka cream sauce, DET Little Italy Detroit pie, side of meat balls and side of pesto. Pasta was perfectly cooked al dente and the super thick sauce was delicious (I think it may have been missing the cream to thin it out a bit- but it definitely did not need it.) The meatballs were very tasty and the pizza! OMGAWD‼ If you like crispy cheesy ends this has it. It was fantastic!! Devoted to the SF locations but also LOVE THIS LOCATION!! From the staff to the food! Highly recommend it and will definitely be back!! read more

If you like pizza this is a definite must try! We went for a friends bday and I'm so glad we sticked it out with the long line. It was totally worth it. Super fun pizzas. I did the classic pepperoni and 1 bbq chicken. The pepperoni was one of the best slices I've ever had. They have a warm up option or you can order your own pie. We went on a Friday and they were really efficient. I will definitely be returning. read more

So happy to have him come "home". Great slices, awesome crust, lots of topping options. Save yourself some time and order ahead online. Parking can be tough at the marketplace but well worth the time. Not the cheapest place for a slice, but you get what you pay for right? We're fans for sure. read more

Pizza is great! My favorite! And the best in the east bay area honestly! I also enjoy the working staff here, more homie good vibes here compared to the san leandro location.

My and my son got a couple slices to take home. He got a slice of pepperoni pizza and I got the Detroit style Rosa. My son really liked his slice. I enjoyed my slice as well.

We came on a Friday night. The Friday after they opened the Saturday before. It was super busy! I expected that though. I came with my 21 yr old son and mom. My son, never had Pyzano's back in the day. If you know, you know. I'm a native CV gal, and was visiting. I was excited to try the new place after I hear it was coming. I've been to Tony's in SF. I love that place. And I was very happy to see many of the same pizza's on this menu. CV, you are lucky to have this new place! Keep it alive ok? We were able to find a table rather quickly. The seating area is small, and it was loud, but not overwhelming. I stood in line and ordered. We tried the Combo Americano, 20 inch. I have not had that one yet. So why not! They were handing out samples of the meatballs. TBH they tasted kind of burnt under the sauce, and it didn't make me want to buy them in the future. But it was a nice touch. The slices on the 20 inch are huge. Not exaggerating. The Combo Americano was really good, like a regular combo but fresher and better. My son cane back the next day with his lady, he liked it that much! read more

If you've been to any Slice House, you know that the pizza is phenomenal. Sure, it's considerably more expensive than the other true pizza chains, but I believe it's worth it. What really prompted me to write this review was the incredible friendly service I received today at lunch from guy at the counter. I had an odd request, and it was met with a smile and a "yes, we can help." He really made my day. Also, at time of writing, this location had a 3.9 star rating that feels skewed far too low by Elite yelpers and maybe a Karen or two. Trust me when I say it's a lot closer to 5 stars. read more

I usually go to the San Leandro location but since we were closer to Castro Valley, we decided to pick up from there instead. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed when I got home and opened the box. The veggie pizza was sitting in a pool of water, and the box was so soggy it was nearly falling apart. The pizza itself was incredibly soggy and looked more like wet bread with cheese and vegetables on top. It was really disappointing, especially considering how expensive the pizzas are. read more

Pizza is good, but if something goes wrong, there's no one to talk to. Ordered delivery from their site, got a text that the pizza was on its way - 40 minutes later pizza showed up cold and salad had 1/2 container of dressing. Super bummed. Tried to call to see what happened, but the calls dropped both times. So much for customer service. read more

Slice House opening its Castro Valley location has been the best news for the neighborhood all year. I've been a long time Slice House fan and used to regularly drive to the nearest location in San Leandro to get my pizza fix. This location offers quite a different vibe, being inside a busy marketplace bustling with several other local businesses. It has very limited indoor seating, and outdoor dining is currently unavailable due to an ongoing lawsuit with a neighboring building owner. It's a very casual environment. There is no wait staff. You line up, order, pay, and then when your pizza is ready (text notification), you pick up your pizza box. There are thin paper plates and disposable utensils available if needed. Now onto the pizzas. So far, we have tried Pepperoni, Combo Americano and Hawaiian Hit Man on a 20" New York style. They were all excellent. The crust came out perfectly crispy and not overly cooked each time. All pizzas had the right amount of red sauce with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Combo Americano is heavier on the toppings, so I think it would be easier to eat on a thinker Detroit style. Hawaiian Hit Man is the superior pineapple pizza! The pineapple is fresh and sliced very thinly over the red sauce. It's not overly sweet and has this slightly tart flavor that goes really well with with salty bacon and smoked ham. I love to drizzle this one with Tony Gemignani's Hot Pepper Olive Oil which they offer as a free condiment at the restaurant. I am super excited to try my other favorites at this location: Paesano, Wiseguy, Hot Honey, and Sweet Geno. I also excited to try True Italian which apparently is only available at this location. It was Tony's late mother's favorite, and he recreated it where he started his pizza journey as a tribute to her. I loved that story. All in all, I had a great experience each visit. The grand opening week was super busy, but now the wait time is much shorter, and you get your order pretty quickly. It's nice that you can also order by the slice whichever they have available each day. This is the best pizza you will find in the area. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

I've never been enticed to make a yelp review before in my whole life but here i am. I'm visiting town for the holidays and wanted pizza, heard this place was "award winning" Spent 30$ on a 12inch pie and not to bash an establishment but this is some of the worst pizza I've ever had. I've had better premade pizza in an airport. The staff however was very friendly and they had the order ready on time. Terrible pizza though. It doesn't even look like the thin crust pizza in the yelp photos read more
