Too much time has gone by, but I had a hankering for Indian pizza, and I happily gave in. I last reviewed Bay Area pizza two or three years ago. Places come and go since Covid but I am glad to see this place is still here. We wanted a little variety and my wife grew up in Haryana while my family comes from the Lucknow area so we got the Haryana and Lucknow pizzas :-) The Haryana aka malai paneer is nicely spiced, but not spicy hot. Paneer is a thick cheese with a texture that can be chewy if not something you are used to. Try it and decide. They have other cheese to choose from. The Lucknow aka desi chaat is a chaat mix which includes potatoes. I was fine with that, but I might substitute next time. The pizzas arrived with a very lovely appearance as you can see from the picture. I ordered online and went to pick it up and it was ready quite promptly A nice little bonus is that I got some frequent flyer points from my AA dining club. No guarantee that they will still be participating when you visit, but I hope they still are when I come by next time. PS. AND NOW THAT I'M EATING THE LEFTOVERS THE DAY AFTER, THIS PIZZA IS EVEN BETTER. read more

I tried Bay Area Pizza recently while in town visiting family. Ordered through DoorDash, and it was delivered quickly. We were able to get a half & half toppings pizza, which was great for sharing! It was still warm upon delivery, and had a good crust, and great flavor. It's a nice pizza option if you live in the area, especially for the price. I would order from here again read more

Definitely the worst Indian pizza in the Bay Area. Everything is bought in nothing is fresh. Everything is dry and flavorless. No owners on site and the list goes on and on. Stay away or go to Tandoori Pizza instead which is also not the great read more

Yelp check-in = 5% off, thank you. Quality/Quantity - 1/2 Golden Gate & 1/2 Bollywood Pizza - No extra charge for half pizzas, thank you. My wife enjoyed the Bollywood pizza more, but I preferred the Golden Gate, win win. But the Golden Gate was extremely salty for both of us...??? And I like salt... Monday & Tuesday discounts, October discounts, so many different promotions, etc. See Yelp. Lunch buffets for only $9.99. Atmosphere - Small local pizza parlor. Plenty of indoor seating, one outdoor table. Majority of customers pick-up their to-go order as we witnessed. Plenty of evening parking, as Kaiser closes early. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 9:30pm or 10:30pm. Service - Counter service. Self service water, plates, utensils, etc. The "kid" and the other two kitchen team members were extremely hard working. And they were friendly, once everyone got their attention. You really need a bell on your front door or counter... I watched as every customer stood there waiting, then shouting for help, lol. Free entertainment for me, lol. Price - $22 + generous tip. Probably going to be our least expensive meal here in the South Bay. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019. read more

We were looking to try out a new Indian pizza place so we decided tot air the leap on this place. We ordered the butter chicken, tandoori and veggie pizza all Indian style. All pizzas were hot and came out pretty fast. Best one hands down was butter chicken. We did ask them to make sure it's not too sweet. Food was great! Will come again. Maybe they can change the ambiance. Also staff was very friendly and sweet! read more

I was really excited to try this new pizza place. I recently moved to Santa Clara, and this is literally down the street for me. I ordered a veggie pizza and it was ready in twenty minutes for pick up. I got home and opened my box up. They did a lovely job of putting quite a bit of veggies! The crust and the base were perfectly cooked. However, after taking my first bite, I realized there was barely any cheese on my pizza. I'm not sure if this was a one off but the cheese was so little that I was basically eating veggies, crust, and tomatoes. I actually added my own cheese on top, and that helped. I even looked back at my order and checked that I didn't request less cheese or anything- but I ordered it all normal. Overall, I would love to try this place again if the pizza had cheese. read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of my calzone.. it actually arrived early than expected my GrubHub! I ordered just a simple cheese filled canzone . It was medium size approximately 12 inches.. it had lots of cheese and tasted just like a regular calzone .But I didn't realize it also goes under the name of Roman pizza oven.oven... and basically this is just a chain of places.. It was just a plain simple calzone nothing special whatsoever... even though I ask, I did not receive any napkins, hot , or anything else.. I had some type of coupon so the price of this came to $16 altogether, including my delivery charges.. it tasted fine lots of and they gave a cold side cup pre-package sauce.. Before deciding on buying this, I checked the add-ons. Their favorite price was always $3.50. .. so anything additional you wanted on this pizza would end up costing you $3.50 more... the good old days of getting a pizza that would taste any good are long long gone.... so the good old days of supporting a local mom and Pop place you really have to double check.. now if you want to get a medium or small size pizza you were going to spend anywhere from $25 on up outrageous read more

Calzone and salad were great. A dryer style with little sauce but great flavor. Generous portions for the price too! I would recommend a try. We had lunch. read more

I was craving some indian pizza and ordered doordash from here. When we went to pick up, it was pretty empty for weekend night, which makes me think that most people order takeout from here We ordered a large with half kashmir (chili chicken) and half new delhi (tandoori chicken). Both had very unique flavors. Kashmir had a strong sweet and spicy sauce which everyone may not enjoy, but the chili chicken itself is very flavorful. The New Delhi is overall pretty good as well. read more

I will never be coming back here. I walked in asking for garlic cheese bread, and the employee informed me that they don't have any without jalapeños and purple onion. I mentioned that they do offer garlic cheese bread with just cheese. He proceeded to tell me that garlic sticks are something different, and I thought he was referring to mozzarella sticks. So, I said, "Okay, give me that." I waited while on my lunch break for a sandwich roll cut in half with jalapeños. When I received my order, I asked, "What is this?" Another employee told me that I should have ordered the sticks. I pointed out that I had been discussing this with the first employee for five minutes. He just shrugged and said, "Maybe next time." I could understand if I had walked in and ordered something without asking any questions, but that wasn't the case. I should have just left it on the counter; it was horrible. I even went back to get some ranch, hoping it would help, but that didn't make anything better, so I threw it away! They are both bread--why wouldn't he mention that this is also bread after talking to me for five minutes? Oh, and they were sitting on top of each other so the bottom was connected to the top of the other! Oh, and what I wanted was cheaper. A waste of money.... and I had the nerve to tip him! read more

Another takeout order: 10/10 Paneer Tikka Pasta $12.99 - surprisingly the best thing I had here for a pizza place. Wished I had a pic but it was super saucy and good portion size for everything (paneer, sauce, and pasta)The tikka sauce was on point and coated the penne pasta super well. No additional seasonings needed besides chili flakes because I like it spicy! If they could make the sauce spicy as well that would da bomb! Highly recommend the Indian pasta over their pizzas unless they start making their pizzas as saucy as their pastas then maybe that would change. read more

The pizza overall was the best I've ever had!!!! The crust was perfect and fresh you can tell it was made right before the pizza was layered. I loved the Warrior Pizza as it had the perfect amount of sauce and toppings on every bite!! read more

We went here today after seeing positive reviews and it was such a great lunch! TASTE: Yummy! We asked them to make it not spicy so my review reflects this. It was perfect for my low spice tolerance! Good flavor, crust was cooked perfectly. QUANTITY/COST: We got a large and between two of us, we had a little leftover. Price was standard and toppings were plentiful. FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL: They genuinely wanted to make a pizza suited to our requests. They welcomed negative feedback if we didn't feel it was what we ordered, and checked on us to be sure. In general, they're just nice people. CLEAN: It was spotless in there. Floor, tables, chairs. Also, just a nice atmosphere for pizza, and a good temperature too. NO BUFFET: we were not there for the buffet, but an FYI, I still see a buffet noted for weekdays and when we asked if they still did one, the guy said no. SUPPORT LOCAL: Always a good choice. read more

Came here for dinner because the BF was craving Indian pizza and I was craving your average pizza. This place did not disappoint. We ordered a large half butter chicken (Bollywood) and half Hawaiian (had moon bay) and their chicken wings. The large serves 4 ppl. I guess we must have ate for 2 ppl each because we were able to finish the pizza and chicken wings. The crust was cooked perfectly, crunchy around the edges. The Bollywood pizza was yummy! It had a kicked to it. Loved it. The half moon bay was also delicious. The combination of the sweetness from the pineapple and the saltiness of the Canadian bacon was perfect! Parking was easy because they have a lot. Be sure to check in via Yelp! They are currently offering a 5% discount! The gentleman that took our order was very friendly. Would definitely come back here! read more

We've tried several Indian Pizza places in the Bay Area but this is our first time ordering from the Bay Area Pizza. We got the Bombay Pizza (Paneer Tikka Masala Pizza) with cauliflower crust (only available in medium size). Food was delivered timely. The medium size was good enough for two people. The pizza tasted great. One thing I appreciate: lots of condiments on the pizza (green onion, cilantro, ginger, garlic, red onion, and mushroom) gave it very rich layered flavors. One thing that surprised me: I typically don't like minced ginger in my food, but I was totally fine with the ginger in this pizza! One thing that could be improved: the cauliflower crust was too soft, not crunchy enough. read more

It was my first time ordering from this place because I live like five minutes away from it. I ordered the chicken pizza the pepperoni, the cheese and I ordered barbecue wings. as soon as we picked it up, I looked at my chicken first because I was really hungry and as I open the box, it was it was barely cooked was so thin. It was doughy so I told the guy I said that it's but we were so hungry go so I figured I'll just recook it at home. me and my kids were so hungry so we just walked back home and as I opened the chicken wings it was frozen. It was like out of the freezer chicken and they just put barbecue sauce on top of it so disappointing I will never ever ever order from this place again, I spent almost $100 and so disappointing. by the way, the guy just said oh it's cooked. It's just the way it is. Seriously, like I have never ordered a pizza before. read more

Pizza is horrible and it took about 45 minutes to make. I was waiting in my car for about 20 minutes. I don't recommend this place. Go to Tastys on Lawrence and 101 read more

I used to love Stuft Pizza - and ultimately when it became this pizza spot, I was more than happy to give it a chance. The toppings were okay, everything cut a little too small. The biggest issue is the crust. The texture of the crust is just off and wrong. I'm not a picky eater, especially when it comes to pizza, but yeah, the crust is severely lacking to the point where the rest of the pizza can't save it. Pricing is normal here. If the crust is the same on the other specialty pizzas (the indian style ones), then I'm going to hard pass on coming here again. read more

My boyfriend and I happened upon Bay Area Pizza on accident and decided to give it a try. It has since become our staple pizza spot and we go all. the. time. (probably way more than we should)! I've always been a fan of plain cheese pizza, and Bay Area pizza has the tastiest I've ever tried! Boyfriend likes the "sharks" pizza but always grabs a slice of cheese too because it's so good! The fact that it's a local business and all the pizzas are named after Bay Area staples is a cherry on top. Service is predictable and friendly, we've never had a problem and always get our pizza quickly. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

BAY BRIDGE veggie pizza is good although next time I'll ask for no onions because of my personal preference. They use red (purple) onions. Thin crust. They tend to go light on the cheese. I like they cooked the pizza well enough. Sometimes veggie pizzas can be soggy if not cooked right but theirs was good. BREAD Also their rendition of garlic bread is more like bread topped with cheese, I think some butter, jalapeños, and lots of chopped red onions. OVERALL calling in was a little difficult to understand because of an accent and loud noise in the background. When I arrived to pick up the pizza there was a line out the door. This place does get busy. Was 35 to 40 minutes for the pizza to be ready on a busy night. read more

Moving to Santa Clara has been blissful since I'm surrounded by all these wonderful eateries, including Bay Area Pizza which is like a 5 min walk from my apartment After drooling over their menu, I went a lil overboard and ordered the Chennai Express (chicken Tikka pizza), the 49ers (bbq chicken pizza) and Indian Style garlic bread. (I also ordered mozzarella sticks which were subpar in taste but I'll let that slide) Now, the real review: Chennai Express: Fresh, flavorful, and delicious till the last bite (I mean crust)! Indian style pizza might be my new favorite pizza! 49ers: good meat to sauce ratio, not as flavorful as the former, but delicious nonetheless Garlic bread: more like naan than the garlic bread we might be used to, but it was a good side-dish. I placed my order over the phone & picked it up in person. Customer service was prompt & courteous. The eatery had a decent parking lot and were following good health precautions during this quarantine for customers picking up their orders. Will I go back and order again? You betcha! What'll be on my list? More Indian style pizza (and maybe the pasta? We'll see!) read more

I don't even know where to begin. I was helping my sister move into her new apartment and we noticed a pizza place across the street with a sign that said "grand opening" so after we were done, we ate here. Upon arrival it was awesome from beginning to end. The biggest challenge is what to have. You walk in and sights and smells are intoxicating, wonderful aroma of fresh pizza. They have SO MANY different kinds to choose from! Ultimately our party of five chose an extra large half pepperoni and combination, it was delicious! Perfect crust adequate and LOADED with toppings. The staff was kind and helpful. If you're in the area do yourself a favor and stop in! Thank you and I recommend this place. read more

Yelp brought us to this somewhat new pizza place which features several Indian recipe pizzas. Pizza just isn't Italian anymore. Indian pizzas are really good. Their pizza is packed with toppings. The Bombay pizza is deliciously spicy and not for those with a low spice tolerance. The Shark, other than having a cool name, is loaded up with an abundance of excellent flavored meat. They use a medium crust which works for me. Cheap bottled beer and wine is available so coming in and enjoying the pie right out of the oven is preferred over take out. The guy running the place was straight up a good guy too. After choking down so many bad pizzas in the Bay Area it is great to find a winner. read more

Nice place . Very accommodating. Ordered a small pizza for my nephews who both wanted 2 different types of pizza and they accommodated . Loved the tandoori paneer and chilli paneer pizza . read more

I've eaten at most of the Indian Pizza shops in the Bay Area and while the pizza here was good, it was pretty subpar compared to the other places I've been to. Where this place mainly falls short is the flavor. It definitely needs more spices and more flavor! The sauce shouldn't be a watered-down version of the actual curry. The Kashmir pizza I ate had the essence of the actual dish, but if I had the sauce alone, it'd be lacking in depth. Another complaint was that the crust was too flimsy and pale on the bottom. I suggest heating up the pizza stone and oven more before putting the pizza on so the crust at the bottom crisps up more. Besides that, I had no problems with the customer service and I did enjoy the pizza even though it wasn't the best I've had. I like how they didn't skimp on the toppings. read more

I don't like to write negative reviews but it is not often I am appalled by bad service. Last night around 5:30-5:45, my wife ordered pizza to be delivered. Our house orients toward the back and we often do not see visitors before the arrive at our door. I wasn't that hungry and went back to watching the Giants game. About 7, I asked my wife when the pizza was supposed to arrive. She was about to call when I opened the front door and saw a pizza box sitting on the porch. It contained a stone-cold pizza. I am unsure how long it had been there. I have never had a pizza delivery where the delivery person didn't ring the bell or knock on the door and hand you the pizza. Needless to say but we will not be using this establishment again. At least Amazon drivers knock or ring the bell. read more

Promising new pizza place with excellent pizzas, reasonably priced. I tried the Tandoori Paneer (cottage cheese) pizza, which for $7.99 was delicious and worth a lot more! I preferred for pickup on Grubhub and the pizza was ready before time. I ate 25 mins later and it did not turn soggy. The crust was crisp and the paneer was flavorful and juicy. I would go back to this place and explore some of their other pizzas and pasta. This is definitely one of my new top 10 go to places for a quick lunch. P.S. They have adequate parking and seating for 20+ people. read more

I ordered two Indian pizzas from Bay Area Pizza over the weekend and couldn't have asked for more. I have been liking Indian pizzas over traditional pizzas lately as they are less greasy and less filling. From here, I ordered a medium Bombay Pizza and a medium Tandoori Paneer pizza without cheese. I called ahead in advance to place my order and said I would be able to pick up the pizza in around an hour or so. The pizzas were waiting for me as soon as I arrived. I believe the owner was there when I arrived and he was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. As for the taste of the pizzas, they were excellent. The Bombay pizza was spicy, but was not overwhelmingly spicy like some Indian food can be. The Tandoori Paneer pizza was my favorite. It was very flavorful and not too greasy or filling, which is my type of pizza. Both pizzas had excellent spices. I will defiantly return in the future! read more

Good price, quick delivery, delicious pizza . Crust was outstanding. Highly recommend.

We went here today and the pros were that I am happy to see some unique pizza flavor offerings. The downside is that we were charged extra $2.99 for vegan cheese. There was NO mention of the extra charge on the menu nor did they tell us when we placed our order. The vegan pizza was so-so., and very expensive for a small pizza you would expect something exceptional. If you are vegan you are better off going to Mod Pizza for $8 unlimited toppings (with no hidden/extra) charges. The crust was a bit burnt and overcooked--crunchy but not in a good way. That said, I enjoyed the pizza I got, the Chicken Tikka Masala. The tikka masala sauce was non existent though so if you ordering this make sure you ask for extra sauce (and double check there is no extra charge). We paid $33 for one personal size pizza, one small pizza with vegan cheese with 2 toppings & one soda. read more
