I know this is a pizza joint but I didn't get the pizza. My gf really wanted pizza so we went anyway. So she got her small pizza and I order their lasagna and omg.. I wish I didn't see how they made it.. They literally grabbed a frozen lasagna from some tiny fridge and threw it in the microwave. I thought Oh well, you know? I messed up by ordering lasagna in a pizza joint... So while it was getting microwaved I thought it's all good, I've had bomb ass microwaved lasagna from Safeway... But boy was I wrong! This tasted like they oven cooked it, over burnt it, then kept it in the fridge and put it up in their"special" menu just to microwave it later for the customers... You guys that's not how you serve lasagna, is it!? I gave this place a 1 for the fact that I've tasted better microwaved lasagna for way less... read more

Protip: always call in ahead for your order. My favorite thing to get? Mushroom and pepperoni, the larger the better so I can have more delicious goodness to stuff in my mouth. The crust is delicious and bready and perfectly cooked and the sauce to cheese ratio is pretty good. I really want pizza now and it has to be from this place. read more

I used to eat Pizza box almost everyday. The lady is mean as hell but the slices are big. But if you get a pepperoni she'll only put 7 pieces on there. everytime. 7 pieces. Dont play rap on the jukebox or she'll give you dirty looks. But the pizza's worth it. read more

Not the 100% service value as typically desired. However, their slices are DELICIOUS!!!

One of our vendors use to bring in Huge Pizzas into our office that were twice the size of normal Pizza. The pizza had a thin crust and was covered in toppings and the Pizza Box that it came in didn't have the name of the Pizza Parlor that it was from. Everytime he came in I always asked him where he got the pizza! He kept telling me that he wouldn't tell me, that it was his little secret. Since his office was in the North Valley, I kinda deduced that it may be a little place that I use to grab huge slices a pizza at when I was a kid playing at the Milpitas Golfland. I remembered that this place was the only one I could think of that served Huge "King Kong" and "Uncle Sam" sized pizzas. Outside of the size of the pizza the only distinguishable attribute was the thin crust and "generic" round sausage topping. I finally decided to try out their Huge pizzas for a Superbowl party for about 10 people (Colts vs Bears). Stupid me ordered 2 of their Biggest Pizzas for the party and I have to say the pizzas were the talk of the party because my guests never saw a Pizza so big. Needless to say we only finished 1/2 of ONE pizza! I ended up eating pizza for a week after giving plates of Pizza away to my guests at the end of the party. If you want these Pizzas during Superbowl, you have to tell the owner the day before (I stoppped by for a slice a few days b4 superbowl). Ther owner is an older Asian lady who has been there forever!! I still remember her face from when I used to go to Golfland back in the 90s to play Street Fighter 2. They also have some lunch special where you get two slices + soda, I noticed the sign after I ordered a slice there during lunch. After I ordered 1 slice I asked her if the special is still in effect. She said,"Yes, do you want 2 slices"? I said," Not really but is there still a special"? She said," Then why do you want 2 slices if you can't eat them"? She definately had a point because the slices are huge and I always eat too much and I am still scared of her because she scared me when I was a kid. but, Thank you for cutting my pizza consumption down :) I really love this place and try to stop by whenever I'm craving a slice when I'm in the Milpitas area or if I want a WOW factor when I bring food to a party or throw a party. The overall taste of the Pizza is ok because overly large pizzas do get kind of Soggy but that's understandable. The sausage is the generic kind but I love generic style sausage on my Pizza sometimes. The pizza dough is freshly made and when you order it by the slice they load the Pizza with cheese and it comes out bubbly hot from the oven. Definately come in to get a fresh slice whenever you are in the Milpitas area to see the owner who has been making pizzas forever!!! read more

Are you kidding with me? Why do I even see 1 star reviews? Been coming here for years and years now and I can only remember two or three times the pizza hasn't been perfect. Super large slices of cheesy, crispy crust, and two tasty toppings for 4 bucks. I still prefer this place's crust over every single pizza joint I've ever been to. If you're scared of dirty old places, and how sanitary Annie (The worker that will be there on most days) is then this place definitely isn't for you. Out of the hundreds of times eating here I haven't gotten sick at all. If you're looking for good service with a smile at The Pizza Box where I only spend 30 seconds telling Annie what toppings I want, then you probably want to go to a place like Amicis where the pies cost triple the amount for half the taste. 4 stars for the pizza and the pizza alone. read more

The Awesome Box. Especially when you order the Uncle Sam 26". Took my girlfriend on our "first date" here way back when. The place is small, kinda dirty, and the service sucks. But the fact that she couldn't wait to go on our next date together should speak volumes about the quality of the pizza. read more

Amazing pizza. Probably the best pizza I've ever had. Should be 5 stars but knock off one for the horrible, horrendous customer service. The owners are so rude it's comical. Every time I call to place an order I laugh because they are so rude and always hang up on you. Also if they say 30 minutes, expect it to be an hour. Every time I go to pick up, it's like they forgot about my order. But I tell you what. The minute I take a bite out of that cheesy, doughy deliciousness, all of those feelings melt away...mmm!! read more

The food was cooked quickly which was nice my pizza slice and garlic knots were undercooked

So the customer service here isn't out of this world, but it's a tiny pizza place with only 2 tables, there's really not much serving to do. For me it's a hit or a miss, sometimes they're nice to me and sometimes they don't really care. I honestly can't give this place a bad rating though, their pizza really is FANTASTIC. They have the biggest pizza ever! For birthday parties everyone either gets a bunch of Caesar's pizzas or gets 1 HUGE pizza from here. Everything from the sauce, to the crust, and toppings are just delicious here! In high school my friend and I would stop by after school and grab a slice before walking to her house and it's the best mid-day snack before heading home for dinner. mmmm YUM! read more

I barely see any customers in this place so I was a bit skeptical about trying it out, but I'm so happy I did! I ordered a medium combo and a small pepperoni (both pictures) for $27 including tax. The combo was delicious; a hearty amount of sausage, mushrooms, peppers, olives, etc. I called my order in and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The lady taking my order over the phone seemed in a bit of a hurry, so be sure to let her know how many pizzas you're ordering; otherwise she'll try to end the call and hang up after you order your first pizza! Pickup and payment was super fast and easy; they take Visa & Mastercard. There's a few old arcade game stations in there that don't seem to be working, and the seating area is small & a bit on the dusty side, so I definitely recommend picking up instead of eating there. read more

The Pizza Box - The combo & pepperoni pizzas - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

Pizza nazi status here. Once again... PIZZA NAZI STATUS. But its ok! Legendary Milpitas deliciousness is what this is. If you are new to this just be prepared.. there is a ridiculous waiting time, but it's ok. Why is it ok? Because such is life. Huge portions of epic proportions. Yumminess that the whole family + football team can enjoy (I can attest to that with my MHS Trojan past). I remember hearing my brother eating an Uncle Sam with two of his football friends and then he grew taller the next day. Its worth it. Every sweet nom nom bite. The lady grows on you. If not, you WILL LEARN. read more

Usually it's good, but now I ordered a large pepperoni, salami and Canadian bacon, the guy even repeated the order to me and I said ok good, went to go get my pizza, came home and the pizza had the wrong toppings, I called and complained and they wanted me to drive all the way to get another one, I said forget, told them I'm not coming back again and hung up. I miss the mean old lady, the original owners she was mean but the pizza was correct and right, bring back the original store owners they know how to make a pizza right read more

one word RUDE...... I don't care how good the Pizza looks. The place is dirty, disgusting, and the customer service is not present. read more

I gave it a shot since I was in town but it definitely is not the same. Prices are higher, pizza just doesn't taste the same as before. It really sucks because the old spot was so amazing.... read more

Look people, this is a dam good pizza. It's basically my favorite pizza place out there. I always just get the pepperoni and every time I get it its delicious. No matter what size you get the flavor is the same. If your a service snob or think your king of the world and people in the service industry need to kiss your ass then don't come here. But if you just want dam good pizza then you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! read more

My family and I enjoy the pizza box in Milpitas. I recommend the COMBO because me and my family just love it. If you want a real pizza...this is the place to go!! So the place isn't so nice inside...but who eats there anyways? We always get it to go. If you're having a party the Uncle Sam or King Kong are the way to go. They are HUGE! I have talked to the staff on the phone several times. They have been curteous to me and my husband when ordering. Pizza is on time and the taste is so yummy!!!! read more

Observation - Ok, here is how I found this place....My co-worker took me there for lunch (maybe as a JOKE).....So having eatten there, I would say take out is the best bet going forward. Walking into the place I was thinking in my head wanting to know if the front of the house used to be a bathroom, because it was beyond filthy!!! The floors looked like they havent been cleaned since they opened and the furniture at best was like something they found in the garbage bin around the corner. From the wobbly fan to old games and juke box nothing looks like it has been cleaned. The lady working the back taking orders and making pizza didnt even wear gloves, which kinda grossed me out watching her wipe her nose making pizza.... Recap - Dont get me wrong, the pizza was good(average at best) and the portions were big...If the place was clean then maybe I would give it 2 stars, but based off of my inhouse eatting experiance I have to give it 1 star. When you equate the time you wait, the dirty eatting areas and the rude business sense of the owner I would pass on this place... read more

Before I moved to the Bay, I used to date this guy that lived in Milpitas, and this was the spot we used to go to when I came to visit. YUM-MY! I remember this place because the pizza slices tasted so good and I kept mistakingly calling it "HOT Box".. hehe, maybe it was just the 420 hitting me. Oh well, I have yet to come here since I moved up, but I still fantasize about "Hot Box" even when I stopped my 420 days.. sigh... "Back in the day, when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore.. sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again..." (Well, I actually wish I was in my early 20s again.. hehe read more

"One sly chee peesa!!!" I don't come here for the customer service and if you are looking for good customer service, you won't find it here. Instead I come here for their great pizza. This place has been around for as long as I can remember and I think their pizza is super greasy but awfully good. Their pizza tastes even better the next day after you warm it up in a toaster oven. Go for the "Uncle Sam" because that's how Americans do it! read more

I was craving Pizza one night and found this place by searching on Yelp. It was everything everybody said it would be and better! The place was tiny and filty, the woman was abrupt and rude, and the pizza rocked!!!! The owner was a one woman show. She took my money w/ flour all over her face and hair then went right back to work. eww Thats the only reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5. But looking past that this place is really good and greasy and cheap! I'm a fan and will definitely support the smaller businesses! read more

Being the pizza lover that I am, The Pizza Box have been one of my favorites to go to because the pizza there is really that DARN GOOD!! The soft, melted cheese, the delicious taste in every bite of the overloaded toppings that can't seem to stay on, and that slightly burnt, crispy crust to finish off the slice....mm-mm-and-mmm! Yes, it's definitely a very small hole-in-the-wall place with a few sitting tables (even my home balcony is almost twice the size of the public domain in this joint...haha). Yes, the old-school arcades and jukebox are still there, bringing back such fond memories of the early 80's and 90's era. Yes, that lady owner is still as friendly looking as always (I'm kidding about the 'friendly' part; all you regular customers know how infamous she really is). Seriously lady, a smile is not a difficult thing to do...LOOK, I'M DOING IT NOW! :-) Yes, the single pizza slice here is HUGE for the cheap price (much bigger than the Costco slice). And finally yes, at 26 inches in diameter, the "Uncle Sam" is the BIGGEST pizza size for ordering in the entire bay area. I've order the "Uncle Sam" a few times before and it only fit in the trunk of my car. I would give this place 5 stars if rating on just the pizza alone, but because the place is a bit dirty looking and customer service from that infamous lady can scare away any kid, I'll leave it at 4 stars...but hey, there may still be hope. Who knows, I might come in one day to see the place spotless with updated table seatings and I might even be able to use my charm to get a smile out of that lady...but then I wake up. :-P read more

I would give 4 stars if the delivery experience didn't annoy the sh*t out of me. Got the Uncle Sam Combination (4 stars).....biggest pizza I've seen so far. It's at least 2 feet wide (26 inches) and packed w/ toppings. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-pizza-box-milpitas?select=yTny65CwIr37QN_80SUwfg#GooMs5wiwCN5eMG9C1GV2Q http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-pizza-box-milpitas?select=yTny65CwIr37QN_80SUwfg#10vyScb0V5uiQ1rNoiIGmA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-pizza-box-milpitas?select=yTny65CwIr37QN_80SUwfg#0_TkFfkNzCNKDl_YpNjuwg Here's how the delivery went down: 6p - call to put in my order and they tell me for delivery I have to call back after 7 to put in my order. "How bout I put in my order now and you just push it through at 7?" - No 7p - put in my order, gave my address with cross streets, and am told it'll be 45 min. The guy that took my order had a strong (Korean?) accent, but he took the order in a reasonable amount of time 7:10p - Got a call from a lady with horrible English (his wife maybe). She asked me if I just wanted to come pick up my pizza. "uhhh, I waited til 7 so you guys would deliver it". after repeating myself a few times so she'd understand, she confirmed my address and said they're putting the pizza in the oven now. 7:20p - She called back again and asked for directions! I live one exit and two turns away ---- it took about 10-15 minutes to make sure she got it down right! holy s*** bro, are you serious?! These calls were makin me wanna put my f'n head thru a wall. Finally we were done, and a little over an hour later, I found the delivery driver roaming around my neighborhood, so I stopped him and ended the madness. read more

See all

There is nothing pretty about this place. The shop itself is old, ugly and dingy. The customer service is strangely bad. For instance, I usually have to peak my head into the kitchen and yell my order and "that lady" would usually yell back "ok" and that's how I know my order is in. "That lady", and everyone who goes there knows exactly who I'm referring to, is almost always in a cranky mood. According to my husband who is a Milpitas native, she has been in a bad mood for 20 years. Nevertheless, The Pizza Box makes some rockin' pizza. A tad bit greasy at times. However, tasty and flavorful indeed. I have yet to order an Uncle Same but I am sure on my way to it! If you don't mind the awkward customer service give it a try! read more

6 friends & I have eaten the entire Uncle Sam today while chillin' in the parking lot. Honestly, today was sort of like a flashback for me. I haven't been here since high school when a bunch of my homeboys & I would come here & all pitch in for an Uncle Sam & just spend the 30-minute waiting period for the massive meal to be made at Golfland. Then we'd spend days eating that monstrous pizza. As greasy as it was, it's still the biggest pizza I've seen made in the Bay, & it didn't really ever upset. The place is a bit old fashioned; it still has old school arcade games, a jukebox & a ceiling fan, but I guess the ancient atmosphere is part of its charm, & I'm one to value consistency & items of such sentimental value, so it really did bring back a lot. The staff was still as scary as I've always remembered, but they do make their are speedy on general one-slice orders. So it's basically a win for win. Good times here. read more

I've eating at this place for 10+ years and it's one of the places in Milpitas that hasn't changed that much. Their pizza is pretty damn good, cheesy and their pepperoni isn't too oily. The pizza lady comes off as rude but I don't take it personally. She probably just puts soo much love into the pizza that she doesn't have enough left over for the customer interaction. 10/10 will go again and again read more

This place isn't the cleanest restaurant out there. It also isn't one with great customer service. It doesn't even have an old grumpy Italian guy behind the counter. Despite the above, I love their pizza. Great price for a nice thin crust pizza. It's probably as good as A Slice of New York in terms of overall flavor. The crust is a bit different, but still good. I love how oily the pepperoni gets, while giving the cheese an extra crisp. The video games suck. read more

Big slice of tasty pizza for pretty cheap. Small place though, and no AC, so if you're going to sit there, you're pretty much going to be crammed and sweating balls. Also, they do not have ranch or hot sauce! AHHHHHH! I cannot eat pizza without ranch or hot sauce, so I went to the liquor store next door and bought some lol. read more

The Pizza Box - Pizza! They don't have hot sauce or ranch though, sad life. - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

Best damn pizza you will eat in Milpitas! Anyone who has been here knows that, and also know the lady who's been working here since forever is rude too lol Whatever we still order pizza from there anyway read more

Love this pizza, it's so good! Lots of toppings piled on top, not stingy like other places. The "mean" lady isn't so mean. I think she's just tired...you would be too! When I said, "Have a good night!" upon leaving, she said "You too!" very sweetly. So she's not all bad. I haven't tried their humongous sized pizzas. I should. read more

Huge pizza slices loaded with ingredients. Taste best fresh out the oven. But it's a real tiny place. Like 4 to 5 tables and 3 of them are 2 seaters. $15 charge minimum. A combo is $4.75 I think and pepperoni is $3.75 ish. Bring cash if you just want a slice and a drink. Cheap and you definitely get your money's worth. Be patient and nice and maybe you won't complain about her service. She's always nice to me. She's alone and sometimes has a helper. Just expect to wait about 10 mins for 2 slices. Times vary. It ain't no fast food 7-11 crap processed microwave pizza or no royalty fancy restaurant. Lower your service expectations and you won't be disappointed you picky, feisty, snobbish and demanding royal kings and queens. Lol. It's a family owned, super cheap (even for what you get), low staffed, hole in the wall for fu#ks sakes. Lol. Also, just know what you want before you wait up at the register and order it when she's ready to take your order. They are busy with phone orders too. Don't ask dumb questions and you won't get attitude either. Everything is there on the menu in English. :P and ohh thank her in a nice authentic way when you leave if she's still in front. Kill em with kindness. Tip em too. If it was some Americanized joint or chain with this size and ingredients used...this slice should be $8 to $9 ish. read more

The Pizza Box - Single giant slices. Shades for perspective - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

Ordered the King Kong because I could...mushrooms and onions all over it with pepperoni on the other half since Mr Carina M is vegetarian. $35 for a big ass pizza. Good thing I didn't give in to the urge to try the Uncle Sam. That would've killed, I think. Parking lot sucks...blind spots while reversing and I would've been safer leaving my hazards on while stopped in the middle of a freeway. I'm not kidding. I'll definitely go back when I'm in town. They were incredibly generous with their toppings and I'm a fan of their pepperoni. read more

This place has been around forever. When I was in HS (20 years ago!) the mean Asian lady was mean and I'm laughing so hard now at reviews about her still being "mean"! she was never nice to many and I'm glad she's consistent. It never bothered me since pizza is cheap and I was raised by a "mean" Asian lady myself read more

Legacy slowly being destroyed. New Owners charge more for pizza that has LESS THAN HALF THE ORIGINAL TOPPINGS. Old Asian Lady hooked it up for years and now that legacy is tossed away. This is going to seriously turn away a lot of old school customers. The place RAN ITSELF FOR YEARS. WHY CHANGE ANYTHING? You could have kept literally everything the same and just change owners for the shop, but nah. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because nostalgia won't let me rate the place less than that. Please try to go back to exactly how it was before. :( read more

best place in milpitas for cheap po kids like me. Bang for the buck. A bit on the greasy side but HEY it's pizza.

The service here is terrible! The lady that took my order over the phone was so incredibly rude. She screamed through the phone and was completely unhelpful when I asked her about appetizers. When I got to the shop to pick up the order, she was on the phone and ignored me for a good 10 minutes until she could finish her convo. When she finally got off the phone, she screamed from the kitchen that my order wasn't ready yet. She finally gave me the order 20 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. If I wasn't picking up food for my supervisor's meeting (he specifically requested The Pizza Box) I would have walked away and never came back. The pizza wasn't that great especially after what I went through to get it read more

I think this is the oldest family own pizza joint I been to. I remember the big old Uncle Sam box up there and when I returned last year it was STILL THERE! My friends and I used to go to Golfland to play arcades and walked over to this spot to get s slice. It brings back memories. I could say its around 15 years ago. read more

This place is really greasy but at the same time..It's pretty tasty. I'm not a big fan of huge flimsy pizza. I like my thin crust toasty pizza BUT this place is pretty good. The portions here..are HUGE! To be honest, huge doesn't even begin to describe how ginormous the pizza is. I would suggest anyone that's have a huge party to get pizza from here. It's honestly the biggest Pizza I have ever seen. It'll feed like 40 people and everyone will be suffering a food coma after. It's not that spacious, a little cramped. The owner is very nice. Try it if you're craving pizza. read more

Really, it's one of the best pizza places in the Bay Area. I LOVE the dough & all of its goodness. They come in multiple sizes & varieties, so it's very easy to make it how you want it. Don't get me wrong: The place itself is kinda sketch, weird kitchen-bathroom-esque tiles on the walls, 20+ minutes long waits for your order, weird lady owner, & lack of seating, but pizza box should just be known as AWESOME in a box. I wish they opened later to satisfy those late night urges. I can go for pizza right about now... read more

Hm.. not sure what all the fuss is about over this place. I was going to play mini-golf next door and needed a dinner spot. I love pizza like nobody's business and saw all the great reviews of this place so it was decided. I read about there being lines and long waits so we ordered ahead of time for a medium pizza, half pineapple half olives. He said it would be 25 minutes and we arrived right on time. There was only one couple at a table inside and no line, but hey, we saved a 25 minute wait :) The place is as people describe it, "a hole," with six 2-person tables inside. I didn't expect a legit restaurant or anything but I expected something a little larger. The tables were all covered in crumbs and needed wiping down. It doesn't look like the owners really want people staying and eating inside. The jukebox feature is cool but we didn't make use of it. The pizza is good. I'm not picky about pizza but it has to be something special to warrant the "best pizza in town" kind of reviews I saw here. My favorite is Round Table pizza and this place won't change that. The prices are great and would definitely make me a bigger fan of this place if I lived close enough to come regularly. A medium pizza ($11) filled 2 hungry adults with two slices left over for later :) read more
