Awesome pizza and service. Right offf California Ave and I plenty of seating and outdoor

Absolutely fantastic Great pizza, friendly service I think Detroit style is clearly growing a lot and will be mainstream very soon - its a no brainer - much more satisfying bite and so tasty :) We had a custom one and a regular cheese one (+ a salad) and they were made perfect - these guys execute so well - I had always ordered from here and loved it but the in person dining experience is superb too - obviously I'll be back Sad that the Zareen's next door completely monopolizes all attention/diners in this area leaving this place threadbare - but it works for me - easy to get a table and have a great conversation :) read more

3.5 stars overall Deduced 1.5 stars due to the saltiness of the pizza; the crust was delicious and super crispy but the pizza itself is way too salty (I think it's from their sauce). We tried their pepperoni pizza, it was good overall, but the salt was a lot for me to handle. I did love their chicken wings. My husband loved their pizza too. We got it to go, so can't comment on service read more

Located on California Ave, there's parking available in the parking garage. There's plenty of seating for small groups but can seat up to 10 in a row (20 in total). So the seating arrangement makes it very flexible for groups of all sizes. Wait for the food took a while, but man was it delicious. 2 slices (1/2 pie) were just enough to fill me but could definitely have eaten a 3rd slice. The flavor was amazing. Toppings were fresh and the crust was done very nicely. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Square Pie Guys is a great place for some delicious pizza. The flavors they have have a good mix of your generic flavors but also some unique spinoffs. read more

Pretty good pizza! Got the seasonal special, it was a thick bread crust, topped with oodles of cheese and spicy ranch sauce, and Philippine pork sausage. Quite an explosion of flavour. I think the highlight was the pizza crust, which was beautifully caramelized cheese, unlike the boring bready crusts of most pizza (including especially the stuff you get at expensive Italian places). We wanted to try the crispy brussel sprouts but they were out, so we instead got the lemon pepper wings, which were substantial pieces of juicy and tender chicken, well-seasoned and very crispy. The interior is rather nicer than I would have expected for a pizza place, somewhat spartan like a fast-casual joint at the front, but remarkably cozy around the back. We ordered through the app, which gets a discount but means you end up waiting much longer for your meal to come out (we waited 35-40 minutes, and it wasn't particularly busy). Not sure if it's worth waiting the extra time for that discount. read more

After checking out the Campbell location (see my review) I had to check out this location. It is very new, but the food and service was wonderful. We sat outside on the patio with our fur child. It was a bit chilly because they don't have heaters, but it was well lit. We ordered 2 pizzas and a salad. Both were sooo good and fresh/hot. I do wished they had drinks on tap. Only bottled sodas and no alcohol, yet. Service was so friendly! Many vegetarian options and pet friendly patio. read more

For a square pizza, this is bomb. Baked perfectly and the mushroom + pepperoni + honey was a nice combination. The only critic I can give is that the ranch was lackluster :( read more

Finally had a chance to try this place. Great location on California avenue- which is still blocked off for pedestrian only but there is plenty of parking along the side streets as well as a new multi-level parking lot that is free. Plenty of space to sit both indoor and outdoor. I ordered take out. I tried the p-lo pie which was delicious with the hot honey and the special bomba. A little spicy but not too spicy. The deep dish style was amazing. Price point is on the moderately high side as each square pizza runs about $30+ after tax and tip.... And is intended for 1-2 individuals. read more

Love how clean and modern this location is! Great for date nights or a family outing. Highly recommend the Mush-O-roni!

Square pie guys never disappoints me. Pizza crust was crispy. I saw they had a new intriguing flavor, so I got the lemon pepper chicken. It was good to try, but I'm not convinced that lemon pepper chicken belongs on pizza. I would totes come back to get the classic pies. They have lunch deal where you can get half a pie for $12.97. read more

Overall a good experience, I ordered the half pie deep dish pizza(can't recall what toppings), which was flavorful and the bread had a nice crust on outside and fluffy inside. The shop has nice inside decor and great outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather. Considering there was only a group of three in front of me I felt it took longer than usual(when compared to other pizza shops). read more

Overall, a very solid Detroit style pizza. This is my first time visiting since their soft opening. There are many poorly rated review from that soft opening that I feel is unfair, so I decided to give it one more shot before I made my judgement. I had tried the musharoni and the pepperoni pies. Both were solid, the pepperoni crisp was spot on. The cheese was a good ratio. The crust and dough were fluffy and crispy on the edges. The main downside though, was how variable the amount of sauce applied was. The mush a roni had way less sauce than the pepperoni. I think in both cases, they were lacking sauce and could use a little more, but the flavor of the sauce was quite good. Overall, it's a decent Detroit style pizza. The employees there are very friendly. The pizzas are pricey, maybe check their app for any deals going on to make it worth going. read more

Solid pizzas, would come here again if I crave pizza. Kind of strange I can't earn reward points for purchasing in store even if I have an account. Service is a bit slow because everything is made super fresh, so keep that in mind if you are looking for something speedy. We ordered 2 diff pies and 1 order of sze Chuan wings that had a nice numbing sensation but really not spicy. Between the two pizzas, the hot honey one was so good. I would get this again! Overall, cute vibes and yummy food. I would come here again! PS: sign up for rewards/texts! They seem to run a lot of deals read more

Oh my gosh this pie was amazing! Came here and got the p-lo pie for the $19 special from 5-6 pm on Saturday. It was ready in 20 minutes. The pizza was thick and packed with toppings. It was the perfect combo of sweet and savory with a bi of spice due to the hot honey sauce. So delicious we devoured it in one sitting. I would definitely recommend this pie and you should keep it on the menu as a permanent item instead of a limited time item! read more

Nice vibe and located in a busy spot. The pizzas were too oily on both the bottom and top--it felt like the toppings were fried before being added. The biggest disappointment was that the hot sauce wasn't free. Come on, who charges for hot sauce? It wasn't even house-made, just small packets like Taco Bell. I'd be happy if they at least offered something simple like Tabasco. I'm still giving them four stars since they're new, and these are easy fixes. Don want to harm new business read more

i was craving pizza and had square pie guys saved for awhile. i created my own pizza with a hodgepodge of mismatched ingredients but it still tasted delicious and fresh. the quality of all toppings was very obvious, the mushrooms and pineapple were especially tasty! the dough was so bouncy and chewy, and the exterior crust was perfectly crispy. i thought the pizza was a bit greasier than a normal pizza, but i didn't mind too much. the service and ambiance were both standard - location is super convenient. overall, highly recommend and will be back! read more

What do people go wild for? New openings. Discounts. And, free stuff. One customer went hella wild at Square Pie Guys. They purchased SO much food, all the takeout boxes were overflowing from their cart. Soft launching yesterday is Square Pie Guys' 5th location in the Bay Area. They took over their ghost kitchen location inside Local Kitchen (next to Zareen's). In 2018, Square Pie Guys started as a pop up in the city and in 2019, opened their first brick and mortar in SoMa. While they weren't the first to bring Detroit style pizza to the bay, their brand def started the trend. While I was running an errand in the area, I tried to place my order on their app but it didn't work. Placed my order in-person and there was only two people in line. M E N U Specialty: Detroit-Style Pizza. GF and vegan options available. They also serve salad, wings, and dessert. P R O M OS *Soft Launch Promo*: 50% off the entire menu on 9/28 + 9/29. I overheard they'll also be having promos for their grand opening on 9/30/25 and BOGO for their Pepperoni Pizza, I think for the entire month of October? F O O D * 6 pc Lemon Pepper Wings (Reg $15/Promo $7.50) Crispy, juicy jumbo wings coated in a lemon butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Great citrusy tang and warming pepper. Flavorful not overly salty. Served with their creamy housemade ranch and crunchy carrot sticks. * Ellen Supreme w/ vodka sauce, pepperoni, italian sausage, grilled onions, pickled peppers, and mushrooms (Reg. $24.50/Promo $12.25) - Missing mushrooms (they ran out of it) Airy soft focaccia with crispy, caramelized cheese crust. The combo of ingredients created a meaty savory sweetness with a kiss of acid. Not too salty as the cream in the vodka sauce helps mellow out the saltiness from the pepperoni. S E R V I C E Despite being back up 45 minutes in orders and crazy busy, the owners and staff did a great job in making sure orders were going out ASAP. They were very apologetic and threw in two full size salads (house and chopped) for the wait. A M B I A N C E Casual, minimalist with a handful of tables inside and four tables outside. There's also communal outdoor tables. 90s hip hop playlist. Overall, after trying a handful of Detroit-style pizzas, SPG remains my fav esp their Ellen and I found it to be consistent with their original SoMa location. Hope they consider doing a collab with Zareen's next door for a Chicken Tikka Masala Detroit-Style Pizza! read more

Square Pie Guys - Ellen Supreme: Vodka sauce, pepperoni, sausage, pickled peppers, mushrooms ($24.50) + Lemon Pepper Wings ($15) - 50% off soft opening - Pizza Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Check out square pie guys for their opening week. They had a promo for first 25 people and get a freeze deepest cheese pizza. I was able to make it to be one of the first and got the deepest cheese pizza. This pizza is delicious Detroit style pizza as it is crispy melted cheese on the edge and soft fluffy dough. The cheese is very good and had a very nice cheese pull. The sauce is on the tangy side which is nice. It is freshly made and at the end they top it off with some Parmesan cheese. The size of the pizza for 20 bucks is kind of on the pricey side. The only issue I had was with this promo if they knew people were gonna be in line for cheese pizzas they should already have some premade and ready to be slinging out the door. But all in all it still went fairly quickly as I got my pizza in a little bit over 30 minutes. I would still prefer slice of homage and slice house for Detroit style pizza as it is better than the price for size is a little bit better as well. However, I would still recommend square pie guys and would be back if I'm in the area. read more

I came here with my bf after hearing about their soft opening on instagram! It was around 3pm when I came here yesterday and it was still quite busy due to the 50% off deal. The line wasn't too long, and getting our pizza took about 20ish minutes. The tables were packed inside, so we sat outside where there was availability. Even though they were busy with a multitude of orders, the quality of the pizza was 5/5. We ordered Ellen Supreme and the Mush-o-roni pizzas with ranch, basil pesto aioli, and cilantro crema dipping sauces! Both pizzas were hot, crisp, and generously topped. The basil pesto aioli was to die for and further elevated our pizzas!! I'm so happy for this addition to Palo Alto! I'm definitely going to come back again with friends for the delicious pizzas and good vibes. read more

We were in the area today and stopped for some pizza. Found a Chicago pizza GEM! Pizza was delicious, we had the Pineapple with vodka sauce, AMAZING! Oh and the wings, we had to order another full order. Super crispy, not too spicy, perfect! Can't wait to go back! read more

Awesome Really nice garlic fries, great service, and a welcoming ambiance. I had a very enjoyable experience overall!

We've been obsessed with the SoMa location since the pandemic, so we were thrilled to see the Palo Alto location open, though a little nervous it wouldn't live up to the original. We came in today and WOW--10/10 across the board. The pizza was perfect (crispy pepperoni, toasty cheese, and bright sauce), the wings were crispy and flavorful, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked and the cookie was gooey and wonderful. The customer service was also excellent. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We came with friends who are gluten-free, and they were also VERY impressed. The GF pizza, GF wings, and the GF cookie were all amazing. So happy to have this spot closer to us! We'll be back soon! read more

It was our first visit, and didn't know what to expect. We ordered the pepperoni pizza to take home. It was delicious. It is unlike any pizza we have had in the area. Admittedly we are pizza snobs but we enjoyed it and will return. The vibe of the restaurant? Loud. That's why we took it home. read more

Less busy compared to the SF location but the menu is the same. Service is friendly. Hope the pizzas taste just as great!

Delicious! The cheese on the side adds so much extra flavor, and the portion size is just right for a good family dinner.

Love this spot. The new lemon pepper pizza joint goes stoopid!! I like it even more than the 6x8. Must try. read more

Came here on a Sunday for their "soft opening" during lunch. Fair amount of seating indoors and outdoors despite tons of people being here for the opening. Good music and vibes throughout. Even though it was packed, we received all of our food (pictures attached) within 20-30 minutes. It was nice that they sent out the wings first, then the fries, and finally the two epic pizzas. Quick thoughts on each dish: - Wings: very hefty, crispy, and warm, but NEEDs sauce for the plain wings (be ready to pay extra) - Fries: similar to steak fries, but crunchier--perfect 5/5 stars -6x8: my go to pizza here; exactly what you're looking for if you like Detroit style with red sauce -Big Von: white sauce was mild, so I'd recommend adding an additional red sauce on the side (you'll thank me later) Overall, this soft opening did not disappoint. It would have been a bit pricey but for the 50% off deal, which came in clutch given all the food we ordered. Was going to give them a respectable 4/5 stars, but the service was wonderful--their attentiveness and kindness was truly appreciated, bumping this up to 5/5 stars. Please keep it up! read more

The Big Von was soooo good. Love the hot honey on top. The wings and classic pepperoni pizza were delicious too. Excited to come back.

Delicious, excellent crust and toppings. The rotating menu keeps things fresh. Highly recommended.

Food was delicious. Definitely recommend Da Grubby Pie. Heat is good and flavor was awesome.

Food was great, best Detroit style pizza in the area. Took the place of local kitchen and so glad square pies guys is here?

U get more value ordering the menu items rather than build your own. Pizza has great chew, toppings and height.

The pepperoni pizza was delicious! The small cup pepperonis have a little extra spiciness to them that hits the spot. Service was great and our two pizzas came out quick and perfectly cooked. Will definitely come back here next time I'm in Palo Alto. read more
