Ordered pizza last night and enjoyed it. We ordered the paneer pizza and was satisfied with it. It had a nice kick to it and was cheesy enough. It was ready in the 20 minutes as promised. Saw a deal outside that it's 50% off pizzas on Tuesdays, so guess where I will try pizza on Tuesday! I ordered carry out but saw there there were people inside watching football & having beer. Will be back! read more

Closest pizza spot to my work, went to try it for the first time. The pizza wasnt horrible but it wasnt something to rave about either. It is similar to chuck e cheese pizza (which honestly isnt that bad) The service is what really killed it. I asked for just a small side of jalapenos and he wanted to charge me $4!!!! Just for a small cup of jalapenos. I declined to get my side, i didnt even bother asking for how much ranch wouldve cost. As we ate our pizza, towards our last few slices, the cashier came and gave us two small cups of jalapenos. But he made it a point that he was "doing us a favor" i almost wanted to decline the gesture. Would not come back. read more

Tried to make a phone order. the person/lady who answered the phone could not understand English and I could not understand her. They need to have someone who answers the phone speak clear english! I don't care if you have an accent but please speak clear enough where we can understand each other! I asked for the lady several times to give the phone to someone who understands English. she gave the phone to a customer (thats not the way to do business). This is bad business! I guess I'll have to go somewhere else now, especially if they don't get another person to take phone orders. Very Frustrating !!! read more

Horrible! Ordered simple pizza's with extra sauce. There was very little sauce on pizza and the dough was really bad. I called to to reverse charge and the manager told me he made the pizza and that I was wrong. Wait...what....i had so hoped it would be good as Straw Hat was good growing up....don't waste your time hoping for the best... read more

I ate here when it was first opened and it was good so I decided to order pizza on NY day since it was one​ of the few places that are​ opened. I ordered small six cheese pineapple pizza (and it's quite small) but I assume whoever​ works there is not a fan of pineapple pizza since they gave me a Hawaiian​ pizza instead. I don't hate ham but I really wanted a pineapple pizza! Also, the ​crust is bland and dry an the ​ sauce tastes​ canned hence the two stars. read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Let's start with the Good: 1: This StrawHat takes EBT CalFresh, and the reason why I first heard about it, and tried it 4 years ago. 2: They have free Wifi Now the Bad: The previous owner seemed to be reducing the amount of toppings on Wednesday's when Pizza was 50 percent off, later he changed it to 30 percent off on Tuesday's when business is usually really slow. Now they have a new owner, and have a more confusing offer, but the EBT system is down due to the ownership change so business was dead, I only saw one other person buying some thing that afternoon after the lunch rush. Yesterday I went in to meet a friend, who told me at the last minute he could not make it, so I tried getting a Pastrami Hot Hat Sandwich, the new owner told me I would like it, and the picture on the menu made it look like it was a good filling meal for $8.99, but what arrived shocked me, it was a small thin Calzone style with very little meat and no sauce, when I brought it back to the counter, the owner said he uses three ounces of meat, but I don't really think he used even that much, I asked for my money back, and he was nice enough to return it, but I really hope he understands that he has to give people good portions to get them to come back, was it this stinginess that made StrawHat close so many stores in the 1990's? read more

I was here at 7:00 on a Wednesday night and craving pizza. A sign in front read "1/2 price all pizzas on Wednesday". I attempted to order a large half cheese half pepperoni, and when my order rang up it was full price. When I asked about the sign out front they told me "you can't have half-and-half under the deal." Weird. But okay, fine. On their menu they have a second offer Wednesday deal that says one large one topping pizza and 3 twists for 18.99. I ask If I can have half cheese half pepperoni and the server tells me I can't because it's only one half of a topping. I told him fine make it half cheese and half bacon and pepperoni and he told me no you can't do that either. Needless to say this place made it very difficult (actually impossible) to use their current special for me doesn't eat meat and my husband, who loves meat. read more

The workers seriously aren't wearing any gloves at all making the pizza!! I went to go get my drink at the fountain and the lady who took our order didn't wash her hands and went straight making the pizza with another worker with no gloves. I didn't pay for the pizza so I couldn't have a word and was afraid they would get mad and have an attitude or actually do something to the order. The owner needs to check the cameras and the employees and do something about it. read more

I was also turned away when I tried to use my Groupon just this past Wednesday. I had actually bought two and used my first voucher with no issues a few months ago. I come back and am told their manager made the decision to just stop accepting all voucher deals due to people "scamming and misuse of them". Sounded like a load of crap to me so I took my lunch money elsewhere! This is extremely poor business practice and is hurting them more than anything. Im definitely NEVER coming back to this place. Luckily, Groupon has great customer service and refunded me with no problems and were even astonished to hear about the refusals. The pizza here isn't anything to write home about either, mediocre at best. Take your money else where if you want good service and food that's worth your while! read more

I purchased a Medium Buffalo Chicken Pizza tonight online and picked it up 20 minutes after my order was confirmed. The pizza wasn't hot but was just warm but the overall flavor was great. The reason this business gets a 2/5 star review is the customer service. On Wednesday's pizzas are 1/2 off and there is a sign to display this on the register. I asked the clerk to take advantage of this offer which was valid for take-out and he simply refused saying I had my 5% discount from an online order. I hadn't paid for the pizza yet so there was still an opportunity to apply the discount but both employees refused. The difference in cost would have been roughly $10.00 and I'm sure a deal like this would have brought me back on another Wednesday. Overall the luke warm pizza and poor customer service will keep me away from here for a long time to come. read more

4.5/5 It's all you can eat from 11am-2pm for $5.99. A drink is about $2 so its about $7-8 per person. This also includes the salad bar! The pizzas they offer during the buffet are small. I prefer this because you can try more varieties without getting too full. The toppings I remember are cheese, sausage, hawaiian, jalapeno, and combination. They even made an individual combination pizza for me! So sweet :) The place is really clean and there is plenty of seating for large crowds. Great place for kids! read more

$5.99 for their lunch buffet. unlimited peeza and salad. mediocre pizza. not bad for $5.99. i like their garlic twist thangys. they prob have like 4-5 different pizza selections...if i remember correctly. in their salad bar, they have plenty of salad toppings, so i just went ahead and added pineapple and jalapeno to my choice of combo pizza dipped in ranch. kicking my pizza up another notch. im smart i know. =D read more

We came on a Thursday evening. It was not packed at all and the pizza was made promptly. It was delicious and a large was perfect for 4 people. The bathrooms were a little dirty and the restaurant seating is kind of run down. The person behind the counter was friendly. They have TVs and sports were on so it's not a "nice" place but it's good fast food probably best for a loud evening with family or friends type of place. I would come back because the food was good and the employee was nice! Thanks SHP! read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This tastes like wal mart take and bake pizza. Crust is flavorless, very little toppings, just bad pizza.

I have been living this area for quite a while now and I only got to know this place recently through UberEATS. I have ordered from here for 3 times and every time it came quite tasty. Since it is close to my house, I would order more from here in the future. read more

Well.. I was craving for pizza... And this was near by. I wish this satisfied my craving... But it didn't. Maybe it was because I did the lunch buffet.. (Different quality?). The dough was... Like frozen pizza. Bad frozen pizza where the dough doesn't rise when baked. Definitely not going back. read more

We would come in ofter after our son's little league games. The owner is very friendly and service is always pleasant. The pizza is ok but nothing really special about it. I also really like their garlic twists, but again nothing special. There are a lot of TVs so it's a good place to catch a game (NFL, MLB, NHL) and it's a little more low key than other pizza places. read more

I remember going to Straw Hat in Huntington Beach when I was a child. The pizza is a vague memory but boy do I remember the video games. Fast forward to adult hood and Straw Hat has become a great place to go for lunch. The buffet is well stocked with pizza but the big bonus is the salad bar. The lettuce is fresh and crisp and the toppings are plentiful. Did i mention sliced hard boiled eggs? Yes, whole sliced hard boiled eggs. When was the last time you went to a salad bar that had anything other then the ultra chopped egg like product? Don't expect fine cuisine or the best artisan pizza in the bay area, but do expect to be well fed for a very reasonable price. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to stop by here just to try it out. We frequent the Tapioca Express next door, and we decided to grab a slice of pizza. We stepped in, place wasn't to bad to look at. I love the old school arcade games they have in the back side of their resteraunt. This place seems family owned which I enjoy. We ordered a medium sized pizza called the Straw Hats Works Pizza. Pretty much a combination pizza. The place was a little busy, but it didn't take long for us to get our food. Crust was thin, a little greasy, but like some other reviewers have said. It good, not amazing, not bad. Just average. On the plus side, they have a salad bar. *Enter awesome music here* Yay for healthy food. Overall, an A-OK place. read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Straw Hat Pizza "The Works" - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Wanted to try this since I was at The Plant. the food was ok, price can be a little bit cheaper but hey, it's lunch buffet. The thing that bothered me was the salad bar. Found a string of human hair on the lettuce bowl and immediately called the cashier to remove it. She did at that moment. Also the sofa-ish benches are extremely wear out and dirty. Was afraid of even sitting down properly. I really wanted to enjoy the food but after slowly finding these bad things, won't be coming back until they can fix these small problems that'll cause children to get sick. read more

Saddest looking pizzas ever, extremely over priced for what you get. Avoid like the plague.

Glad to see Straw Hat back . . . very pleased with the pizza quality/service. Thumbs up! read more

I was around the area and i wanted me some pizza. Happened to see this pizza restaurant and decided to give it a shot. I must say, I am glad that i am a curious cat because Straw Hat Pizza is pretty awesome. You have to try their appetizer, huge portions, and very flavorful. The pizza was hot, fresh, and delicious. Right amount of tomato sauce and cheese. It was neither too cheesy where you can just pull it off nor overwhelmed with tomato sauce, it was just right. Give this place a shot, i promise you, you won't be disappointed. read more

Since the reviews below mine had a chance to get their free personal size pizza, I thought the pizza was just about average. Straw Hat Pizza does offer many kinds of pizza including their creations along with different kinds of crust to choose from. We ordered a medium size (serves 2-3) of The Works (like a supreme pizza) and 3 garlic parmesan 'groovy' twists. The wait was about 20 minutes, with the cost totaling about $25 which wasn't as bad. The pizza was good, but it was just like any other pizza in my opinion. It's nothing distinguishing from their pizza, but their garlic parmesan twists were really good dipped with ranch! The place was clean and the service was friendly, but it seems that Straw Hat could have done some improvements. There's a small arcade about 5 games and 2 of the kiddy rides were labeled "OUT OF ORDER". There's only 2 games that you can win tickets and the prizes were useless since the minimum was about 35 tickets. Another improvement that Straw Hat could have done was its soda fountain since there were about 8 drinks and nearly half of them were "OUT OF ORDER" or "sold out". It was just average and since The Plant has many other eateries around, Straw Hat wouldn't be my top picks, but I wouldn't mind dining here again. read more

Love that I got to try this place for the first time on a Tuesday. It was also half off on Tuesday as well. My boyfriend and I ordered a medium chicken pizza & 2 sodas. $13 is not a bad total at all. I kind of wish when they offered the buffet lunch, their selections were stocked up. There's was only a few slice of one pizza left, so I thought it was a salad on supreme pizza buffet deal. After I grabbed my soda, I saw that they restocked the buffet with cheesy bread and 2 more pizza selection. (my fault for not asking if there were different pizzas own their way out of the oven) TV for sports fan like me. Awesome. Except the spot where I sat, the TV was in a cranny/nook where I couldn't see it at all. Only a few one or 2 tables can see where it was. :) beer. Yes, there was definitely beer here read more

Great food, good beer and a small area for Kids to play. Pizza is amazing. They Ben had tandoori pizza! Interesting options! But the crowd is shady and creepy..sad really for such good food establishment. Gangstas and creeps.. read more

First time here with the boyfriend on Tuesday for their lunch buffet. $7/per person isn't bad. Their pizza is really good. Nice salad bar, too. Freshly made pizza just came out once we had sat down. Hawaiian pizza that they served was my favorite. Love their garlic cheese twists at the bar. On top of that, superbowl was playing on tv. Hopefully, we come back again when we're in the area and craving pizza. read more

I'd had SHP from another location and thought their pizzas were dreadful, so I don't know why I allowed myself to order lunch from here. The pizza was just as dry and bland as the last. Tasted like something you serve to children. The dining area wasn't filthy, but felt a bit musty. I will say that the seasoned potato wedges had a nice flavor and were served hot and fresh. Service was kind, but the restaurant wasn't particularly busy either. Definitely won't eat another Straw Hat Pizza again. I've learned my lesson. read more

We been coming here for many years and they moved location owners are lovely people but can't say the same for one of their staff really older lady that took our order today very unhappy and doesn't like her job she spoke Spanish too.
