Saw this place on IG so decided to place a pickup order since I'm always on the hunt for yummy vegan pizza. I was excited to learn they partner with The Butcher's Son for vegan mozzarella and meats. I've been a big fan of The Butcher's Son food for a while, and I love their mozzarella sticks, even though I usually don't like vegan cheese. I went with a medium 1/2 and 1/2 pizza: Vegan Meatzza and Vegan Buffalo Chicken. I also tried the Vegan Cannoli. The pizza was hot and ready when I arrived, and they sealed it with a 100% vegan sticker, which I thought was a nice touch. I really enjoyed both flavors! It's tough to pick a favorite between the two, but the pepperoni on the meatzza was delicious, and the buffalo and ranch combo on the buffalo chicken was tasty. Surprisingly, my favorite was the cannoli. Even though I usually prefer savory over sweet, the cannoli was amazing. I loved every bite, though I think adding chocolate chips to the filling would have made it even better. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience! I can't wait to try other vegan pizza combos.
Located near the event center off of 25th Ave in San Mateo. There are a few designated parking spots for Bizza itself. The shop isn't very big. There are very few tables inside and 1 table outside, so it's a good idea to grab and go if you're not in a hurry to eat. Plenty of options from pizzas to calzones to sandwiches, burgers, desserts and milkshakes. There's definitely something for everyone. The pizza was made fresh, it was delicious and came out fairly quick. The onion rings and waffle fries definitely hit the spot while we waited for our pizza to come out. Although it was empty when we came on Father's Day and we had a chance to dine in, we would definitely order to go next time around.
I was just passing through the area and was a little hungry when I passed by Bizza. A quick and inexpensive slice of pizza sounded like just the ticket. The pizza was pretty solid, but the real surprise was how excellent the onion rings were. Honestly some of the better ones I've had out to eat. Well seasoned and battered, and came with a really tasty ranch dipping sauce. I'd come back just for those to be honest haha.
I had been meaning to try Bizza for some time and finally got around to it. I got the personal size buffalo chicken with garlic added. The crust of the pizza felt good quality and light. The chicken was a bit on the drier side but had decent flavors overall. The ordering process for takeaway was pretty smooth. They have some interesting selections and I might consider trying the falafel one some time.
Bizza has a solid vegan section in their menu. And though they have a legit vegan section, I was instantly intrigued by their Falafel Bizza which can be made vegan by swapping out the cheese for vegan cheese. In addition to pieces of falafel, this pizza includes green olives, tomato, Mediterranean pickles, chili pepper sauce, and tahini. Delicious combination and I would easily order this again! The only thing I would change is asking them to drizzle the tahini after the pizza is cooked rather than having the tahini cooked into the pizza. https://bit.ly/4lkyE5J We also ordered the Vegan Don't Be A Chicken and substituted the pesto base for a tomato base. It comes with mushrooms, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. The vegan chicken is tasty! Great flavor too! https://bit.ly/41U8qiD I enjoyed the thick crust on both pizzas. Not sure what brand vegan cheese they use but the menu states it contains cashew. I also noticed that certain vegan pizzas are made with Butcher's Son cheese so I wonder if it's used across the board for all vegan pizzas. I also like that this place offers slices. Staff is friendly and helpful. The dining area is small but not competitive for a table. We were there around the 6pm hour on a weeknight. The atmosphere is quiet, maybe too quiet even though there was a constant flow of customers. Music would help the vibe. The walls are filled with colorful murals. They have a clean bathroom and a small parking lot. Great experience! I would easily come back here.
Clean and cute space but we took our pizza to go. The worker was kind and service was pretty fast - we ordered and then went across the street for coffee and by the time we got back it was ready and waiting for us. We ordered a half/half but I don't remember the two flavors. The worker was kind enough to help us narrow our options down. We drove to half moon bay and enjoyed the pizza. It was windy and the pizza was "lukewarm" by the time we could eat it but even still we all enjoyed it a lot.
Let's be honest, Bizza is not your regular 80s and 90s pizza joint. This was my first time visiting this place. I noticed the kitchen area is huge compared to sitting area which is rather small with few tables. I understand that their focus is on to go and delivery orders. Bizza's menu is the most unusual with items with Mediterranean influences. Toppings like lamb meat and Za'atar which is typical in Mediterranean cuisine. Service is polite and quick. It's only took almost ten minutes to receive my order. I ordered Meatza which tasted good but not memorable. Crust was the star of the show with well above average toppings. But the overall, combination was lacking the punch. All and all my experience was positive and will go back but this time I am going to try items with Mediterranean influence.
I was visiting the area to get some work done on my car and had some time to spare. I found this place online nearby and decided to give it a shot! I was really impressed by the variety of vegan pizzas they offered. I tried the vegan Pineapple Express and the Buffalo Chicken by the slice, and both were pretty good! Thanks again.
Nice clean place with many pizza options and timely service My boys liked their pizzas and my niece liked her salad. I got the Meatzza and it was great... tasty crust, good sauce, & yummy toppings plus pepper flakes & parmesan if you want it. There is no alcohol that I saw... soft drinks or water only, maybe juice. Parking was easy at 2pm on a Saturday and we were the only customers so seating wasn't an issue but they only have a few tables.
This review is for the vegan pizza options. I read a lot of the good reviews but was still pretty skeptical based on the photos. I don't know, they just didn't look that good to me. But, I'm glad I tried it! I think the main thing that was off-putting was how thick the crust looked and how many toppings were on the pizzas. It just looked all a little too much. Indeed the crust was thicker than what I prefer, but it was better than I thought and kind of necessary to hold up to all the toppings. I got the vegan buffalo chicken pizza, which was really yummy. The fake chicken and bacon visually did look weird (they did not look anything like chicken or bacon...), but I definitely got that smoky bacon flavor. I just love a place like this that has a ton of options for vegans and non-vegans alike. Their sandwiches sounded good too so I am looking forward to trying one of those sometime!
Delicious pizza made fresh! There isn't too much seating and the pizza stays fresh in the box, so it's a perfect take out meal to enjoy outside in the park or for a night in! They have a variety of flavours and we especially like the lamb one. The crust is delicious and not too thick or doughy, but is still substantial and the sauces are great! You can also order half and half if you can't decide on which toppings or sauces! Would highly recommend!
Bizza is one of my favorite pizza joints in the Bay Area! The menu is quite expansive, featuring a wide variety of meat and vegan options. Their pizza has all of the familiar, satisfying qualities of a traditional pizza but with a Mediterranean twist. The seating there is fairly limited, so we usually prefer to takeout and enjoy in the comfort of our own home. The pizzas are prepared quite swiftly as well - we placed an order online and it was ready for pickup within 20 minutes! We've tried both the lamb gyro pizza and lamb bizza, which are equally delicious! The Wild Wild West is good as well but the BBQ sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. In terms of sizing, the 14" medium was the perfect amount for me and my partner (although it claims to feed 3-4 people). Can't wait to try all of the other options in the future!

I love this place! A pizza is so fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced! I was looking for a slice of pizza before heading to the airport to return home, and Bizza was nearby and had great reviews. I'm so glad I came here, and I will absolutely be back if I'm ever in the area again in the future. You will not go wrong with the pizza from Bizza! The dough was soft and fresh, the cheese was perfect, just perfect! read more

This is a welcome addition to the pizza options in the area. What is pretty awesome about this is that almost all of their pizzas are available by the slice AND they offer some unusual toppings. And as noted by others, the slices are pretty huge (see the picture I took with a measuring tape!). Lamb Gyros Bizza: 4/5. The crust is quite nice on this, a little on the thin side with a nice chew to it. I enjoyed the lamb gyros and other toppings. I expect to come back soon and have their Buffalo chicken and breakfast pizza! read more

Great place to get a variety of interesting toppings fresh by the slice. Tried the lamb gyro, hot on haight, and original mediterranean. All super interesting toppings for a pizza and loved that it was made to order for even slices. Parking is available next to the building. read more

Love the Pizza and Salads!!! Great customer service. Last winter I was there in the pouring rain and my car wouldn't start. The cashier gave me a jump start!! read more
Our family has ordered takeout from Bizza a few times now and it never disappoints! Our favorite is the Pineapple Express and the Queen Margherita. It's all SO GOOD!!! Another plus is that their pizza only takes about 15-20 minutes to be ready for pickup. I've tried calling other local pizza places and the preparation time can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour! They also have vegan choices too so that is another added bonus. read more

Such a wonderful place that's new to San Mateo! This family owned restaurant has another location in San Francisco and just opened their second location a few months ago. I got the Cesar salad with vegan chicken and my boyfriend got one of their sandwiches. Everything was extremely fresh, very flavorful with huge servings. Thank you to everyone working there as well! You were so kind and thoughtful plus really nice. I hope you thrive in your new business adventures and we will definitely be coming back! read more
Lots of creative options for pizza toping combos. Huge pizza by the slice. Great fresh tasting. I appreciate the vegan options for my family so everyone can get what they want. Maybe my problem was misaligned expectations. Possibly their focus is on takeout and/or delivery in which case the limited seating area (4 stools?) and no outdoor seating is not an issue for anyone. Hence lots of parking in the lot next to the building. Otherwise its in a bit of an odd area with no place to eat outside nearby on a nice sunny day. My surprise was compounded when I received my slice oozing out from a container. Sure its nice to get such a big slice but it was very inconvenient to carry the container to my car and keep it away from the dog in the backseat as I drove to find a park bench to eat it. Having worked in retail, I have lots of empathy for anyone serving me, but found the employee rather off-putting. Again, it could be because they don't expect many walk ins and those who know Bizza from their SF location already know what its all about. He wasn't rude, but it felt like my presence was a distraction from is actual responsibilities. I would definitely. order takeout in the future now that I know its not really the kind of place to enjoy a sit down meal. read more

Brand new. We actually passed it by without really realizing it was there. And then we smelled it. So, we turned around and we are SO glad we did. Picked up 4 slices (2 combo, 1 pepperoni, 1 sausage) and we satisfied with all of them. Good crunch on the crust. Not too herby on the sauce. Not too much fennel in the sausage. Can't wait to try their pasta, sammies, and appetizers. WE aren't vegan, but the size of the vegan menu impressed us. read more

Great comfort food! Unexpectedly found rare vegan pizza, vegan garlic bread, and vegan mozzarella sticks. We tried their vegan version of the hawaiian ham and pineapple pizza which was good 9/10 stars. You can go home and melt the cheese until desired melt. Also, we tried the planet earth which is like a vegetable supreme pizza without the faux meat 9/10. The sourdough pizza bread is delicious. The stars were: 1). The fried vegan mozzarella sticks were delicious and easily addictive- 11/10 stars! It has a great light crunch, and sharp and creamy mozzarella cheese. Ask for both dips: marinara or vegan ranch. 2). The vegan garlic cheesey bread is a 10/10. The flavor bomb is delicious on crunchy and chewy sourdough bread. Comes with a marinara dip, but it also great on its own. Hosting a movie night? Call Bizza for dairy free, comfort food. read more
