    Half combination half pepperoni
    Sarah D.

    This pizza was really delicious but I didn't like the location and they had like their family member there sitting in back of the salad bar... maybe watching over it... she kept walking back and forth and it was a little weird... but other than that the pizza was delicious... There wasn't a lot of people inside so it was nice and quiet... I did have to go back to my car to get a sweater cause it was a bit cold.

    Straw Hat Pizza is easily the best pizza in Rancho Cordova. It's miles ahead of the competition because they consistently make quality pizza, crispy wings, and well seasoned wedge fries. They stand out by simply making a really nice well done crust. The "undercarriage" of the pizza is well done so there is very little, if any, flop at all when you grab a slice. The pepperoni and garlicky chicken are my go to here and I am impressed that the pizza has the same quality with each order. It puts me at ease that I will receive the same quality pizza every time. I am also a big fan of their wings because they make them nice and crispy. I don't like the fatty texture of chicken skin on my wings so I prefer a more well done wing and Straw Hat gets it perfect. Their wedge fries are always crispy and well seasoned and pair perfectly with their zesty ranch. I have never had an issue with service. The restaurant always picks up when I call and their online ordering has never given me any issues. Hopefully they keep doing what they are doing because it's hard to find good pizza in Rancho Cordova, so I'm glad we have this gem.

    This is my go to pizza place, Old school pizza parlor with the brick ovens...makes all the difference!! If you like a crunchy crust that's not too thick and very good ingredients, this is your place!! Don't sleep on the Hot Hats- think big, awesome hot pocket made with pizza dough. I like the ham and cheese. They have a really nice salad bar too. Owners are great people and this business has been here for over 20years. We live in Folsom and make the trip whenever possible, as there's no pizza like this in Folsom. Hope you go...enjoy!

    This is one of the few Straw Hat pizzarias in existence. This franchise used to be HUGE when I was a kid. They did some of the best marketing campaigns in their time. There pizza was always decent if not great. But more than anything it was a hub of the community where we would go to celebrate a baseball game win or simple birthday party. It is a shame that their corporate management completely dropped the ball on their product and quality in general. This location was the first Straw Hat I have been to in at least two and a half decades. It is a living and functioning Time Capsule of a bygone era. The husband and wife team working this small business did a great job considering it was only the two of them. Please support these small locally owned franchises and grab a decent pizza and enjoy some awesome ambiance and atmosphere.

    This is the personalized veggie pizza. Oh my gosh excellent

    The food is so good. Customer service is excellent definitely coming back. Recommend this highly to everybody. Yes

The gal…read moreat the front who helped me was pleasant and helpful (sorry I forgot your name) but she said that she has worked there for years and you can just tell that she tries her best to provide excellent customer service. I also got her help on the phone before I came to pick up my order and asked if I could use the mail-in coupon we received. We were about to babysit and wanted to make sure our niece and nephew had fresh quality pizza! The ambiance was clean although there seemed to be a stockpile of soda on one side. Overall, the pizza came hot and fresh. Just 1 critique: the dough tasted more chewy but not as chewy as little Caesar's. We will back in the future!

    UPDATE: The following day, someone from Milan called my husband personally to apologize for what…read morehappened. He told us that he had spoken with the owner, that the situation with the employees involved had been handled, and offered to remake our entire order for free. I really appreciate that they took the initiative to reach out without us having to contact them first, acknowledged what happened, addressed it internally, and made a genuine effort to make it right. This is exactly the kind of response I would hope for from a restaurant I've otherwise really enjoyed and supported, and it definitely restored my confidence in Milan. I've updated my rating to 4 stars to reflect how well they handled the situation afterward. I'm only holding back the fifth star because the underlying online-ordering issue still needs to be addressed so another customer doesn't end up in the same situation. Outside of that issue, though, their response absolutely gets 5 stars for customer service. As someone who also works in customer service, the way they handled this tells me the right people are in charge and genuinely care about their customers and their business. I'm very happy to continue supporting Milan. - - - - - - - - - - - - - OLD REVIEW: I genuinely love Milan Pizza, which is why this experience was so disappointing and frustrating. Milan is advertised as being open until 10 PM. We placed a pickup order through Milan's online ordering system at approximately 9:40 PM. The website was still actively allowing us to order and submit payment, with no indication that pickup orders were no longer being accepted. At 9:47 PM, my husband received an email saying the order had been "missed" and the payment was refunded. Unfortunately, he didn't see the email until he had already driven all the way there. When he arrived, the OPEN sign was still on. I've since seen in Grubhub listing an earlier cutoff for pickup orders. If Milan actually stops accepting pickup orders before closing, that is completely fine, but Milan's own ordering system needs to clearly communicate that and stop accepting pickup orders after the cutoff. **At a minimum, the website should clearly display the pickup order cutoff time before checkout and automatically disable or block orders once that cutoff has passed, along with an on-screen notice explaining that pickup ordering is closed for the night. Customers should not be able to place an order, submit payment, and drive to the restaurant only to discover that the order was never going to be fulfilled. I really hope management fixes this because I genuinely love Milan and want to continue supporting them. This was incredibly frustrating and completely avoidable.

She walked in, politely said she was there to pick up an order, and when asked whose name it was under, she immediately gave her name. The owner then asked whether it was a phone or online order, but before she even had a chance to answer, he abruptly cut her off and said, "I need to know if it's a phone or online order," in an impatient and rude tone. After she told him it was a phone order, he claimed there was nothing under her name. He then checked the online orders and again insisted there was nothing there, all while continuing to speak to her in a dismissive and disrespectful manner. Believing there had been a mistake, she stepped outside to call me and confirm the order location. While she was on the phone, the owner came outside and told her they had found the order. Instead of apologizing for the confusion, he immediately began lecturing her, saying this was why they needed to know the name on the order. She calmly responded that she had given the name from the very beginning, yet he continued talking down to her instead of simply acknowledging that the mistake was on their end. What made the situation even more upsetting was that there were several customers inside who witnessed the interaction. My wife said they looked visibly uncomfortable and appeared shocked by the way the owner was speaking to her. It was obvious she wasn't the only one who felt his behavior was unnecessarily disrespectful. To make matters worse, there was no apology, no thank you for our business, no offer of napkins or plates, and they even forgot to include the ranch that came with our order. Customer service matters just as much as the food. No customer deserves to be treated with impatience or spoken down to, especially after providing the requested information from the very beginning. There was absolutely no reason for my wife to be treated the way she was. Unfortunately, the food itself was mediocre and certainly not worth enduring that kind of experience. We will not be returning, and I sincerely hope the owner learns that showing customers basic respect is just as important as serving pizza.

First of all, I tried the samosas, as they were doing a BOGO. I called ahead to ask if the samosas were spicy, and the lady said "medium". They were extremely good. I could definitely taste the Indian spices, and they were not greasy at all. It's the kind of spice that you notice just as you are finishing it up. It's like "oh, there it is..." They were a bit spicy, but not too much. Just enough to put a tiny bit of a sweat on my forehead, which I liked. They came with a dipping sauce, which was basically a chili sauce. I tried it, but with one taste, I could definitely tell that the sauce was too spicy for me. The achari chicken pizza was also extremely good. I had them leave off the jalapeños, and this one had just a tiny bit of a spice to it. Just enough that I noticed it. The crust had a good "chew" to it The sauce was creamy, the chicken was tender and delicious, and the onions and cilantro provided a nice little "pop" of freshness. An excellent pizza. Because there were four Samosa's instead of two, I got two servings out of them. However, that pizza was so darn good, I ended up eating the whole thing. Thank goodness it was a small.... Even without the BOGO, the prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely order from this place again. Thank you!

The place is clean, and the employees are engaging and very friendly. You can tell they enjoy doing what they are doing. It's a simple concept. Whether you want a pizza or a salad, you choose either the crust or the greens, then you choose what you want on or in it. All for the same price. Sometimes I will have a salad, today I decided to have a pizza. I had the regular crust, with the spicy tomato sauce. I did Gorgonzola and. Ricotta for my cheeses, for my meat, I did ham, pepperoni, and anchovies. I love the briny flavor of anchovies. I don't remember all of the veggies I picked, but I picked a bunch. I also had them do salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. The pizza came quick, And as always, it was delicious. I had asked if the spicy tomato sauce was very spicy, and she said, "not really.". It did have a bit of a kick, but well within what I like for spicy. All of the ingredients played very well together, and they were very generous with the ingredients. The creamy ricotta. Played well with the Gorgonzola as well. The price is reasonable, and they do offer a military/veterans discount. Normally, I take a couple of pieces home, but this was so good, I polished off the entire thing. I will be back. Thank you.

This one had dollops of mozzarella for each slice as well as fresh basil. These ingredients really upped the game in terms of giving the pizza a more premium taste and feel. You can get pizza by the slice (on certain kinds, including the special they have at the time). I wanted to give the pepperoni a try and it was also very enjoyable. It wasn't overloaded with pepperoni. Each slice had the perfect amount! I also recommend trying the different sauces they have available. They have ranch, a green sauce, as well as a hot honey.
