    Chicken wings
    Mona A.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :(

    Love how clean and modern this location is! Great for date nights or a family outing. Highly recommend the Mush-O-roni! Well balance in flavors with mushroom, pepp, cheese, and hot honey in red sauce. Making my mouth water just thinking of the flavors . Will have to be back again to try the other flavors!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Ellen Supreme: Vodka sauce, pepperoni, sausage, pickled peppers, mushrooms ($24.50) + Lemon Pepper Wings ($15) - 50% off soft opening

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Had a reservation for 6pm and was seated right away after arrival…read more It was our first time at Wildseed and we were impressed. My friend and I shared the mushroom bao, rigatoni pomodoro and corn pizza. Our favorites were the mushroom bao and corn pizza. I really love the use of coconut milk in the mozzarella. We also opted for the peach galette at the end. The peaches were pretty tart but the ice cream complimented it well. Only con we had that night was the AC was blasting and it got pretty chilly towards the end of our meal.

    I came to this restaurant two days in a row because I really enjoyed my first experience…read more Unfortunately, my second visit was noticeably different, and it really highlighted one of the biggest challenges for any restaurant: consistency. First Visit - Nearly 5 Stars On my first visit, I ordered: * Beet Poke * Mushroom Bao * Kale Caesar Salad with Falafel The beet poke was fantastic. It was fresh, light, and packed with seaweed, with a delicious dressing that brought everything together. There were great textures and flavors, and I would have happily ordered it again. The mushroom bao was another standout. The mushroom was perfectly fried, tucked inside a soft, fluffy bao, and topped with a tangy slaw. Great combination of crispy, soft, savory, and acidic. The kale Caesar salad was also delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. At this point, I was thinking 5 stars and was excited enough to come back the very next day. Second Visit - A Different Experience I ordered: * Beet Poke * Mushroom Bao * Kale Caesar Salad * Potato Pizza Unfortunately, things were much more inconsistent. The beet poke was probably the biggest disappointment. There was barely any seaweed, very little textural contrast, and the dressing tasted completely different from the day before. It was also barely dressed. If this had been my first experience with the dish, I honestly would not have ordered it again. The mushroom bao was still good, but it didn't taste the same as the previous day. The slaw was noticeably spicy this time, whereas it hadn't been spicy at all on my first visit. It made me wonder if there were different chefs or if the recipes/preparations simply weren't being followed consistently. The kale Caesar was the one dish that remained consistent, still delicious on day two. The potato pizza was underwhelming and definitely something I wouldn't order again. The flavor combo wasn't working with me. We also got the gluten free crust which was not great. Almost more of a cracker than a pizza crust. The Verdict: If I were reviewing this restaurant based only on my first visit, I would have given it 5 stars. The food was fresh, creative, flavorful, and genuinely memorable. But after coming back the very next day and having several dishes taste noticeably different, I had to take a few stars away. I'm not sure if there were different chefs, different prep, or something else going on behind the scenes, but consistency is such a key part of a great restaurant experience, especially when you're paying restaurant prices. When a dish is fantastic one day and just okay the next, it's hard to know what experience you're actually going to get. The ambience is great, and while the service was friendly, it was also a bit slow. Overall, I still see the potential here, and my first visit was genuinely excellent. I just wish the second visit had lived up to it.

We set up a girls dinner date with a few of our other friends and we had the best time! Since we were walk-in's, we sat at the bar, and would have had limited dining time if we were to sit at the table. Tane had a happy hour menu from 5p-6:30p, so we pretty much ordered everything off the happy menu! The menu items were half the price minus the corn ribs which I ordered from the regular menu. Food was amazing, so much umami flavor in every bite! The only thing that I wouldn't give a 5/5 for food was the Da Bao. I would give it a 3/5 only because the whole Bao itself was bland, maybe if the vegan spam was marinated in a glaze would taste better! My friends and I had no room for dessert unfortunately. Overall service was great, and the restaurant is beautiful! The lighting at the bar was perfect to get those yelp worthy/social media worthy pictures!

    Driving back from Morgan Hill on a Sunday morning, we wanted to find somewhere for brunch before…read moreheading into San Francisco. This place popped up, and once we parked, we realized it was right by the farmers market... so clearly we had made the right choice. We got there right when they opened, so no wait, and grabbed a table inside near their very pretty bar. I had already stalked the menu a bit and had my order figured out for both of us: pistachio pancakes and the chicken mole breakfast tacos. And honestly, both were excellent and exactly what we needed after a wedding the night before involving a few (too many?) cocktails. The pistachio pancakes were delicious, but DO NOT skip the syrupp. I'm pretty sure there's cardamom in it, and whatever they're doing, it takes the pancakes to another level. And the chicken mole breakfast tacos? I've never actually seen mole incorporated into a breakfast taco before, but it totally works.

Because of timing for other errands we came at 10:30 am and they were open on time and ready. Sitting outside or inside is amazing, outside you get the crowd and the sun. Inside you get amazing interior design. My overall feedback is this is one of the rare "fancy" Mexican places that justify the price and justification. Everything is above average in taste and execution. Brunch Tacos mole: chicken mole poblano, scrambled eggs, huitlacoche, tortillas, epazote crema, fried shallots & avocado. Perfect portioning and the salad that came with it had a fantastic dressing. I pulled some chicken out and gave it to my wife and then it was perfect, a bit too overstuff before. The mole and overall taste were quite good though. Chilaquiles: tortilla chips sautéed in chile de árbol-guajillo salsa, topped with queso fresco, cilantro crema, and an egg. My wife loved this so much it made her question every time she didn't order it before. Fried egg sandwich: two over easy eggs on house baked brioche bun, chipotle aioli, avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried shallot. Kids loved this and happily ate the leftover after. Iced Mexican Cafe: delicious iced coffee with a distinct Mexican taste. Distrito Verde: mezcal, basil, lemon, and falernum. Simple but refreshing brunch cocktail, really paired well with the mole tacos. Chips and salsa: These are not free but worth the price. Both the chips and the 2 salsa are of extremely good quality and preparation. Abnormally tasty and the kids went crazy eating it.

    I often frequent the Stanford Shopping Center and always see this restaurant hustling and bustling…read more I finally decided to give it a chance. We went at the perfect time before the dinner rush and were greeted by our waiter Dylan. He was quick to answer our questions and offered great recommendations. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with air fried fries and a pepperoni pizza. I also got a iced matcha horchata. Buffalo chicken sandwich tasted great with not an overpowering vinegar taste but also had that wonderful classic Buffalo wings flavor. The bread was very soft and the coleslaw was actually pretty good. I enjoyed the freshness of it. The fries were very dry and hard to be honest, I'll probably get a salad instead of those next time. The pepperoni pizza was a thin crust and not overly oily and cooked to perfection. No burnt crust or lava temperature cheese. Every bite was a joy. The iced matcha horchata was pretty much just a matcha latte lol. I did not taste any horchata flavoring at all. Not bad if it was just labeled a matcha latte but I probably won't get it again. Overall my visit was enjoyed and I look forward to exploring what the other items on the menu are like. Despite the shortcomings of the fries and the lack of horchata flavoring in my horchata drink I would still say my meal was rather enjoyable. On top of that our server Dylan was outstanding. Checked in at all the right times and was not overbearing but also not lacking in interaction. We did not have to ask for much as he was quick to provide everything we needed. The ambiance and the look of the restaurant was very nice and clean. Music wasn't too loud and the lights weren't too bright or too dim. The seats were very comfortable the tables were clean and I couldn't ask for much else.

    Dropped in for a late dinner and my waiter was Dylan!…read moreOutstanding service and extremely personable! Great food, but Dylan made it work! Ask for his table! 5 stars!!

    Came here with the fam to celebrate my bday - and what a celebration it was. First impression -…read morewhat a beautiful space - LOVED it - so beautiful with the different hanging chandeliers and plants - and the wall paper added more charm. And they have sofa type seating mixed in - so very comfy - like having family over! First thing I do want to mention however - is it's a LONG dinner experience. They tend to do a dish at a time - they don't load up the table with a bunch of dishes. At most you'd have two dishes so given we ordered so much food - it was pretty much a little over 2 hour dining experience. So just be warned. So we started off with fresh oysters - and the reason was due to 1) we love fresh oysters but 2) the sauce sounded interesting - with fermented chilis and curry leaf ponzu. It was a flavor bomb!! Made a huge difference with the difference sauce and a great surprise!! The other ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is their Sesame Leaf appetizer. We opted to share (you get 2 per order and there was 4 of us) because we had the oysters - but now I know the next time - EVERYONE gets their own! It was one of the BEST BITES ever! It's a leaf in a batter that is topped with pomegranate, chickpeas, yogurt, sesame chikki, and cilantro. The texture, flavors, was AMAZING and so unexpected. I love when it's not just the flavors but the textures too!! highly recommend as a starter... And our last appetizer was the Pani Puri (a semolina puff). This is actually one of my favorite dishes and I try to get it if the restaurant offers it. Here's where I think I have a bit of bias. The place I usually go to - offers it with a tamarind juice - here you get it with pineapple-mint and kokum chutney. I don't think I'm a fan of this flavor profile for my pani puri - but I'm glad we tried it... overall it's a delicious bite. We also decided to try their cast iron money bun - and it came with their homemade butter and eggplant chutney. I'm not sure what they cover their bread rolls with but it gave it a nice texture. It was tasty and I'm glad we tried it!! Especially with their soft creamy butter and that eggplant chutney! Perfect vehicle for them!! For our main course we got the Black Cod and Lamb Shank. The Black Cod - WOWZA... It's black cod wrapped in a banana leaf, with spinach & mango masiya. There's a delicious sauce they top the black cod with and it comes with coconut rice!! This was SO GOOD and I could eat the whole thing myself. The Black Cod had the tender decadent texture but those flavors was so different and amazing together. That sauce was very good - the call it "malabar sauce" - went well on top of the coconut rice. And the Lamb Shank was AMAZING as well. That sauce - the nalli nihari sauce, ginger-green apple kachumber was so different and the lamb was tender but the flavor with the sauce was very good. It's served with whey naan. I love that they can take an ingredient and really elevate and make it sing with unique and different flavors and textures!! We were so stuffed we skipped dessert but we ate up everything and I'm so happy we got to try everything we wanted. There's still more on the menu so for round two - next time!!

    The food was great and the staff were nice. The restaurant had really nice aesthetic. We went on a…read moreFriday night with a reservation, so it was pretty busy, and it took a while for us to order and for the food to come out. The menu was only one page, which was a little limited for someone picky like myself. We were seated outside next to some big flower pots with plants, and since it was pretty dark, I noticed an insect crawling near our food. I should've taken a picture but didn't. As for the food, everything we ordered was good. We got the lamb shank, biryani (which came with a drumstick and a small piece of chicken breast), and lamb galouti kebab. My favorite was the kebab, it was very tasty and tender. The sauce/curry that came with the lamb shank was also really flavorful. The biryani was good but tasted pretty similar to other biryanis I've had.

    I hosted a work event at Twelvemonth and everything was so well prepared with great service! Albert…read morewas a gem throughout the whole planning process and was super helpful and intuitive with all of our last-minute needs. The atmosphere was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and everything came together so nicely. Our guests had a great time, and I would definitely recommend Twelvemonth for events!

However, I did make one and if you cancel within 48 hours they charge you $10 per person. The decor is beautiful and on Sundays the street parking is free, so I would highly recommend checking this place out on a Sunday. It's in the middle of tons of restaurants and stores, so it is a very cute place to walk around. We started with the dumplings and meatballs. Both were absolutely delicious. I like the dumplings a little more than the meatballs. The meatballs didn't really taste like meatballs, but I do see how it resembles them if that makes sense. The meatballs are made out of jackfruit and pea protein. It was still delicious and the sourdough bread it comes with is amazing as well. For my main, I got the green goddess salad with crispy tofu. I loved it. I didn't feel deprived at all and the dressing is delicious. I definitely appreciated adding the crispy tofu. For dessert, we tried the pudding cup and the lemon dessert. Both were delicious. I love the crunch of the pudding cup that was on top and the tartness of the lemon dessert really helped to mix it up. I'm not really a Dessert person though so neither blew me away enough that I would get it again, but I feel like if I did really enjoy sweets I would recommend both of them. For my drink, I got the thirteenth month, which is a gin sour drink and was absolutely delicious. I also got fresh orange juice because I love getting fresh squeezed orange juice anytime I see it. I definitely recommend checking this place out whether you eat meat or not, because as a meat eater I still enjoyed this place. Service was fantastic and I would love to come back.

And we also got the bison jerky plate again, which is kinda what I want here . We're gonna be back!

    Love all the flavors!…read more We ordered: Dal that khana set chicken $27.99 - a very interesting presentation but the actual chicken curry is just a tiny bowl so I dunno about the value of this item. Chhoila chicken Momo 10 pcs $19.98 -- I was warned about the spice level that this can be really spicy and in actuality, it's not that spicy -- so if you're used to eating spicy food, you'll enjoy this dumpling. For reviewers who didn't enjoy the momos, it's probably because they ordered a plain version. Timur chicken $18.99 - this one was the highlight! Has that numbing Sichuan pepper -- simply delicious! Buffalo jhaneko sekuwa set $23.99 - spicy and flavorful. My only critique is that there wasn't enough buffalo Service was polite. Wait was 15 minutes for dishes to arrive to the table. Ambiance is typical dark vibe. I love the comfortable booth seating. Not crowded at all at 3pm on a Friday. Parking was about a block away. Total bill was $99.25 for 4 dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed most of the flavors and my overall experience was good but the portions for the meat are rather small so I have to mark down a star for overall value.
