    Large (14") Build Your Own
    Calvin T.

    No pun intended--I was genuinely craving pizza on a Sunday evening. This happened to be one of the few pizza places that was opening late at night that was not any of the larger multinational joints. I ordered the Large pizza with Tandoori Chicken and Italian Sausage (*$17) as part of a special deal. *Craving Pizza does many deals, which you can find on their website. I really liked the sesame seeds on the crust and the generous amount of meat toppings. Beyond that, it's a solid, affordable pizza--nothing particularly groundbreaking, but good value for the price. I wished my tandoori chicken was less dry. If you happen to have leftovers, I'd recommend taking them home and adding your own extra toppings or sauces. The creamy white sauce that comes with the pizza also pairs nicely with the crust. The staff were friendly and I ran into no issues ordering through their kiosk. Overall, a convenient option for a late-night pizza craving. Would recommend!

    Small Pepperoni Pizza - Small (10")
    Patty O.

    Good pizza. I really like the tomato sauce on the pepperoni. I think the pepperoni was better than the chicken pesto because the pesto flavor did not seem very strong, the pizza for the chicken pesto seemed a bit dry like it was light on sauce. The regular crust is a bit more doughy and the thin crust is a bit more hard. Overall though the pizza is good and I like the slice size for the small pizza. Not too big and very easy to share

    Honey Garlic Chicken Pizza - Small (10")
    Stacy C.

    Had the small tandoori chicken pizza and apple juice for lunch. I'd tried it at a Yelp event a while back and remembered it was delicious and not spicy. It was very good once again. Loved the amount of toppings, loved the tandoori flavor, loved the crunchy onions, loved the crust. (I asked that they leave off the peppers, jalapeños, and mushrooms.) It was a bit spicier than I remember, but no big deal. I'll definitely be back for more.

    Peri Peri Pizza - Small (10")
    Ritu V.

    We've been to Craving Pizza a few times now and it's a great spot for desi-style pizza. Tried the Peri Peri, Creamy Butter, and Tandoori Chicken, all super flavorful and different from your usual pizza place. The shop is pretty small (only about 3 tables), so not a ton of seating. The crust isn't my favorite, but the toppings make up for it. Only downside is we always ask for no sesame crust and they keep forgetting . Prices are a little on the higher side too. Service is good, the owner usually runs the place and serves, which gives it a nice personal touch. Overall, tasty and unique pizzas worth checking out if you're craving something desi and different!

    The pizza was ready when we got there. This was ordered before dinner time. We got two pizzas, one small and one large. A Hawaiian and one creamy butter.Price isn't bad. Would come back to try other flavors. Just wish it had a little more bread to the pizza. Satisfied the pizza craving I had though. I like that they have traditional flavors as well as Indian.Service was neutral

    Never disappoints! Fresh pizza with incredible flavors. Very friendly service. Mostly do takeout but have had food at the premises as well. Also love their new pizza box design

    BBQ Chicken Pizza - Large (14")
    Abigail M.

    Me and my bf were so excited to try this place! He ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza and I ordered the White Garlic Spinach pizza (with no onions). We gave both pizzas a 9/10. We absolutely LOVED the flavors and especially the crust. There's just something about that sesame crust The service from the owner and staff was above and beyond. The owner was so so kind and I wish him the best for his business! The place was clean and quaint, very inviting. Will definitely come back again!!

    I tried a new place named Craving Pizza located at 1111 Meridian Ave, Ste 2, San Jose, CA 95125 This is primarily a take out place with a huge menu to select from including 20 different pizzas. There are a few tables and chairs and the restaurant is very clean, including the kitchen. Delivery is available through their website. Now for the food! I had the small beef and bacon pizza, zaatar manakeesh (Persian bread sticks), and a Greek salad. The WOW factor was totally unexpected! The portion size was impressive but the pizza was unlike anything I have ever tasted. The crust was a special recipe with sesame seeds on the crust and tasted amazing! The selection of pizzas was impressive and the sides available were garlic cheese sticks, potato wedges to chicken wings. They even have desserts! I'm definitely coming back as it is one of the finest pizza I've ever had! I don't want to forget their fabulous Craving Deal specials which can really save you a lot of money, especially the party special deal. Parking can be a bit challenging during lunch and dinner time, as there are other restaurants that share the lot. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Craving Pizza!

    Creamy Butter Pizza - Small (10")
    Andrew T.

    I called this spot beforehand and preordered. The owner (I'm assuming) was very friendly and helpful. The rest of the staff could be friendlier. The pizza was ready when I arrived and the service is really good. There is only a couple of tables inside and there is a decent amount of parking. The inside was small and clean. The small butter chicken pizza was perfect for 2 people. I do think it could use more sauce because it was hard to taste the butter chicken flavor. I liked the sesame seed crust and how they provided ranch.

    Pepperoni with mushrooms
    Jill S.

    My 2nd time here! Came early tonight (Friday evening) and got 2 pizzas- vegetarian and ham and pineapple.Delicious!! Pizzas come with a little container of ranch dressing. The sesame crust is so good! I drizzle a little siracha on crust .Yum! The first time we came (last week lol)we got mushroom & pepperoni,it was also delish

    Peri-Peri Pizza
    Brenda D.

    This was my and my son's first time here. Sammy welcomed us in and took our order. I got the Peri-Peri Pizza. I'm always up to trying something different and I like anything with spice. My son got the Pepperoni Pizza with additional bacon. You also have the option to place your order from the kiosk. The place is small, very bright and colorful. There is one table for four and a table for two. There are also tables outside to share with Togo's. We sat outside to wait for our food since it was a warm and beautiful day. Sammy brought our pizzas to us. Thanks, Sammy, for the complimentary jalapeno ranch dip and regular ranch dip. That was a nice surprise. The Peri-Peri was so good! Not too spicy. I loved the sesame seeds on the crust! Great flavor and it enhanced the crispiness of the crust. Also, I liked that the crust was not too thick. Next time I'll try the cauliflower crust. Thanks for checking up on us, Sammy, to make sure everything was good. My son appreciated it.

    Good customer service and clean new pizza restaurant! They had 3 tables! I tried teriyaki chicken and it was soooo good!!!!! The garlic cream on the side was very good with the pizza. They put sesame seed on the crust which I really loved! I definitely come back here to try more pizza with my son:)

    Greek salad
    Heidi F.

    Good customer service -- phone immediate answered , polite , got order right Creative pizzas in addition to traditional styles . I ordered the pickle pizza -- creamy and dill pickles (not sweet ): if you or someone you know LOVES dill pickles this is a fun pizza!!!! If you don't ...very generous portions of the pickles . The spicy pizza isn't all that spicy (maybe add some hot spice packets ) but has bold flavor -- good! Decent side salad with crunchy lettuce

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat. I got the chicken kebab plate as the sandwich board right out side the door suggested, along with a side of fries to go. The fries were crispy with a ting of spice and delicious. But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)
