I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I made a reservation a month ahead to celebrate my husband's significant birthday, and I was genuinely excited about the experience. However, despite having a great server, this restaurant made almost every mistake imaginable. Now, let's review the food. I would give an overall rating of five stars for the food. Doppio Zero Pizza Dinner (5/5): I really enjoyed this pizza; it had a generous amount of filling like cheese and prosciutto, and it was delicious. My only wish is that they could cut the pizza more evenly and into separate slices for easier serving. Fried calamari (4/5): The waiter claimed it was the best calamari, but perhaps I had set my expectations too high, as I ended up feeling that there was nothing particularly special about this dish. Gnocchi (4/5): My husband ordered this dish and enjoyed it, but personally, I'm not a fan of red sauce pasta. Tiramisu (5/5): We received this as a complimentary treat for the birthday celebration, and it tasted great. However, there's a story behind it. I initially asked our waiter if the restaurant did anything special for birthdays. The waiter mentioned they only sing a birthday song and asked if we wanted him to sing, with a somewhat strange smile or laugh. I perceived it as disrespectful, making it seem like I was only asking for a free dessert. Despite my willingness to pay for the dessert, I learned from another reviewer that there's complimentary tiramisu for birthdays. I approached the front desk, confirmed this, and the waiter later explained that I might have misunderstood him. I apologized for any confusion. Additionally, I would not recommend the cocktails in this restaurant; we ordered one and barely drank it. The reason for my three-star rating, despite the delicious food: - The restaurant mistakenly gave our entire order to the table next to us, then realized it wasn't their food. The server then turned around and placed the food on our table. - We were charged extra for a pizza we never ordered. Fortunately, I checked the order before paying, and the waiter acknowledged that the pizza belonged to another table. - The restaurant is much louder than the quiet dining environment I expected for a good date night. - The initial impression the waiter left me with was unfriendly; it could be due to cultural differences. read more

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, especially the fettuccine porcini and the ribeye. My husband described the fettuccine as excellent, and I found the ribeye to be large and very tasty. The leftovers heated up well for my lunch the next day. The broccolini was also a delightful addition to our meal. The service at this restaurant is top-notch. The staff provided us with excellent recommendations, and they were attentive throughout our visit. We even had friends who brought in a bottle of wine, and the staff graciously accommodated us. The only downside of this restaurant is its popularity, as it tends to get very crowded. I would highly recommend making reservations in advance. The bar, seating, and bathrooms can be a bit of a challenge to navigate due to the large number of people. You may have to zigzag your way through the crowd. While the restaurant has lovely decorations, the crowd makes it difficult to fully appreciate the ambiance. We experienced a few bumps from passer-byes throughout the evening, but it's understandable given the crowded environment. If someone in your party has sensory sensitivities, I would suggest requesting a table against the wall to minimize the chance of being bumped. Overall, despite the crowded atmosphere, this restaurant offers delicious food, excellent service, and a lively ambiance. It's definitely worth a visit, especially if you plan ahead with reservations. Fried Calamari Ribeye Teuf read more

I've heard great things about this restaurant's pastas and pizzas, and it was truly a delightful meal. I visited on a Sunday evening, and it was absolutely packed. Every single table was full, so I highly recommend making a reservation prior to arriving. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and romantic, with moody lighting and minimal decor. I really loved that you could see the chefs making pizzas from scratch and placing them in a giant pizza oven. Since it was so busy, the service was understandably slow. I tried the Porchetta Pizza, with mozzarella, garlic, broccoli rabe, roasted porchetta, and parmigiano reggiano. It was a solid pizza but didn't wow me. The bread was so heavy and thick that it essentially overwhelmed all the other ingredients. I feel like I tasted a hint of porchetta, but the main flavor was the bread/crust. The Marechiaro, on the other hand, was absolutely stellar. This pasta features homemade squid ink tagliolini, jumbo scallops, clams, roasted garlic, all tossed in a light spicy tomato sauce. The tagliolini has an incredibly chewy texture. The tomato sauce isn't just a plain tomato sauce - it has an almost umami flavor and tasted genuinely magnificent. All the seafood was cooked to perfection. The Marechiaro was the star of this meal, and I would return just for this one dish. I also sipped on a passionfruit mocktail, which was more sour than it was sweet. This was a solid Italian spot, and I am excited to try more pastas in the future! read more

As someone who regularly visits this restaurant for both takeouts and sit-down meals, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of food and service. During my latest visit, I ordered the salmon, which was overcooked and under-seasoned, and served on a soggy bed of green beans. The Eggplant Parmesan I ordered was also stale and salty to taste. When I complained to the server, they ignored my concerns, stating that this was how the dish was prepared. I was extremely disappointed with my experience. In my opinion, the decline in the quality of food and service at this restaurant is apparent. As a regular customer, I have noticed a marked difference in the standard of the dishes served. The salmon was overcooked and under-seasoned, indicating that the kitchen staff may not be paying attention to the cooking times and seasoning levels. The soggy bed of green beans only added to my disappointment with the dish. Similarly, the Eggplant Parmesan was stale and salty, indicating that the kitchen staff may be using older ingredients or not paying attention to the preparation process. When I raised my concerns with the server, they ignored my complaint, which is an unacceptable way to treat customers. I hope the restaurant takes note of my feedback and works on improving both the food and service quality. As a regular customer, I would like to continue visiting this restaurant, but only if the issues are addressed. read more

Excellent food and great service (for the most part). I went with two friends and we had a dog with us and asked to sit outside. Host told us a 20 minute wait. After waiting 20 min, he was about to seat us, but either the owner or the general manager was outside and a group of his friends walked up and he immediately gave them our table. The host apologized profusely and gave us another outdoor table about three min later and said he would bring us an appetizer on the house. That appetizer came within 5 minutes of us sitting down. I was not impressed with the owner/manager's actions that happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and that is why there is no 5th star. However, the host and our waiter were absolutely wonderful! I can't express that enough! They made up for the bad experience. As for the food, we got three pizzas. The Doppio Zero, an eggplant one and an artichoke/hot sopressata one. All comparable to pizza I've eaten in Italy. This is one of the best authentic Italian pizza places I have come by. I also had a kind of spritz drink that had blueberry, pineapple and prosecco in it and it was very good. It was on the sweeter side, but not overly so. Very well mixed! When I come back to this place, and I receive truly good service throughout my entire experience, I will add the 5th star. If you want really good authentic Italian food, this is the place. read more

They provides authentic Neapolitan pizza in the downtown area of Mountain View. The wood-fired pizzas emerge with their distinctive light crust and dark edges which demonstrate the dedication of the pizza makers. Both the Diavola and Salsiccia pizzas received high praise from our group especially since the children enjoyed them. The portions at this restaurant are large because three pizzas served five people with enough food to bring home. The pasta dishes at this restaurant have good taste but some items might become too salty so you should consider this when making your selection. The squid ink pasta had excellent texture but its flavor intensity reached a point where it became overwhelming. The drinks at the establishment stand out because my Napoli Gin presented itself as a well-balanced and refreshing choice. The dining area maintains a loud and energetic atmosphere which matches the busy nature of downtown while the close table arrangement creates a tight space. The staff provided friendly service and the seating process occurred more quickly than we anticipated. The Bryant garage provides parking access to a short alley path which leads to the restaurant. The restaurant provides an excellent setting for both romantic evenings and sophisticated pizza dining. Definitely worth a return. read more

We came here twice in the past week and weren't disappointed. Both times we had great service that was friendly and fast. The first visit my husband and I got the fried calamari (which wasn't great) but the portion was huge and not terrible. We wished we would've known we got bread and oil at the start of the meal because we definitely didn't need the appetizer. The bread was delicious. The highlight was the calzone my husband ordered which was unbelievable. They definitely know how to do pizza and calzone right with the huge pizza oven they have. I got the trout special that day, which was just so so. Not great. We also split the chocolate cake, and that was really good. He ordered a couple of Coronas and I got a really nice glass of prosecco. It was so nice that we came back a few nights later so he could get the calzone again. The whole meal was the same (prosecco, beers, great bread with olive oil, calzone, and chocolate cake), but this time I got the seafood soup and it was a lot better than the trout. I was not disappointed. It had large shrimp, mussels, calamari, and fish in a tomato broth with crostini. Much happier this time. Anyway, will definitely be back. The atmosphere can get a bit noisy and a bit warm towards the back where the kitchen is, but overall very enjoyable. read more

I reviewed Doppio Zero 8 years ago. I feel old. Anyways, it still great. Love the foods on the menu: tastes great, not too greasy and tastes like something I would eat on a casual cafe in Rome or some other Italian city. Just want to add that the bartender here is pretty great! The cocktails are well made and well-presented. The wines here are also very friendly and price-point friendly. The chianti here is fantastic for any pasta items on the menu. Oh, excellent, fun appetizers. Try the caponata and the calamari: not overdone and just hits the spot! The octopus is also quite satisfying. Servers here are CLEAN. And are hospitable. I know they are working for tips but at least it looks like they are trying harder than most restaurants that I have been to since the county eased on the pandemic restriction. Thank you, Angelo and Gianni for knowing that service makes or breaks a restaurant. Good place to go for lunch or dinner if you want Italian and really heavenly pizza. I am not giving it 5-stars on Yelp because I find the seating a little too cramped and each time I visit, I do not get the seat I request. It's cold outside and no one wants to sit by the bathroom. read more

How does Yelp account 3 stars as "A-Okay"? This place has disappointing pizzas; the crust is weak and the flavor does not fly with me. Never quite understand how "Italian pizzeria" still get the pizzeria wrong. The wine list is decent; the service is hit or miss. I usually go on a Friday or Saturday night and the service on these nights is usually very disorganized and poor. Just telling the truth, folks. The dinner prices for both the food and beverage seemed too high for me. It is even more sad when you pay as much as you do and still have food and drinks that do not justify the high cost. Not a standout in downtown Mountain View and like the many run-of-the-mill restaurants that line Castro. But, if you set your dinner expectations low and like wicker chairs for the outside seating, you will like this place. I hope the other Yelp reviews are legitimate; I actually use this review website when I think about spending my money at any place of business. Doppio Zero's reviews on Yelp seem really fishy; there were so many 5-stars when this place seem to earn a much, much, much lower ranking with regular customers. But, then again, I am not into wicker chairs. read more

**Overview** Visited as a group of two and ordered two pizzas. Located in the heart of Castro Street, this spot offers a nice ambiance and elevated pizza options. **The Food** - Fungo Pizza: A white sauce-based pizza topped with mushrooms and truffles. The crust was the standout--crispy yet chewy with a slight char that added a smoky flavor. The thin dough in the center paired perfectly with the creamy white sauce and earthy truffle notes. Definitely a favorite! - Jalapeño Pizza: A red sauce-based pizza with salami, Italian sausage, and jalapeños. While the spiciness was more subtle than expected, the savory meats and flavorful red sauce made it a solid choice. **The Experience** The pizzas here feel more refined compared to standard options, and the ambiance adds to the overall experience. Pricing leans slightly on the higher side of pizzas, but the quality of the ingredients and prime location in downtown Mountain View justify the occasional splurge. A great spot for a casual yet upscale pizza outing. The Fungo pizza is highly recommended for white pizza fans. While not an everyday choice, Doppio Zero is perfect for a special treat. read more

Seriously, I'm so lazy to write review. So, my husband and I been waiting patiently for this place to open. As you know MT View doesn't have much to offer in terms of food. My hubby works in Palo Alto and we often check out Mt View due to friends and family who live here. Doppio Zero is exactly what we are expecting in terms of Napolitan style pizza. We were here on Valentines night and it's pretty busy. Service was not super fast, but I was not in a rush. Actually friendly service from the wait staffs. Back to food, everything were delish. I truly enjoyed my seafood pizza, ricotta mushroom pizza ( LOVE LOVE) and cauliflower pine nuts salad. We paired our food with a bottle of chardonnay. Romantic. I'm not a pizza lover, but I like thin crust southern italian style pizza. It doesn't stuff you like crazy like American pizza. I will come back soon for sure. Lastly, the price is REASONABLE compared to Napoletana pizzas. We had a great time on this special night. I will come back next weekend. read more

What a most awesome experience. When I walked in the ambiance was warm and inviting. The place was pretty busy, so I knew already it was going to be pretty good food. The pasta was to die for and the pizza my boyfriend and I shared was tasty and delicious, complimented by a delectable glass of red wine. But I would have to say the most favorable feature of this experience was the wonderful service we got from our server. Nataly approached us with a sparkling smile and was quite knowledgeable about the food, offering us wonderful recommendations. She was attentive to what we wanted and provided a quality of service above and beyond what you get at most restaurants. Aside from the food and wine, we would definitely go back for the service. Thank you Natalie for making Doppio's a rewarding experience. read more

Every place wants to be busy - and this place seems to have people in it at any given time. Every place wants to be hip - this place in the evening feels pretty cool. If you want to be busy AND hip - get service to match. There should be a little hustle and a feel that the staff wants to help - instead the walk around with the air that we should simply appreciate being in the presence of sauce great people. I want food. I want drinks. I want someone to take an order before 12 minutes after being seated. The price - I will pay for a place that has good service, but come on.....olives are olives. Peppers are peppers - need to differentiate yourselves a little more to charge the princes that you do. read more

I've been to Doppio Zero in Mountain View several times, and it's hands down one of the best spots for Italian pizza in the area. The dough is exceptional--light, perfectly textured, and full of flavor. While I haven't personally tried the pasta dishes, I've seen friends rave about them, so they're likely worth exploring as well. A word of advice: make a reservation if you're planning to visit on a Friday or Saturday, as it gets quite busy. The lively atmosphere adds to the charm, but it can get a bit noisy, making conversations a little challenging at times. Overall, Doppio Zero is a fantastic choice for authentic Italian pizza in the area. read more

I've been to this restaurant countless times, and each visit is better than the last! The food is beyond exceptional, and the staff is friendly and professional. The menu consists of authentic Italian food, and wood-fired pizzas that are my favorite. Chef Alessandro is a culinary genius and delivers his skills through his food. The ambiance of the restaurant makes it appropriate for families to enjoy a quaint evening, or for a couple out on the town. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would absolutely would. Can't stress enough how much I love this restaurant, and would consider it the gem of Downtown Mountain View. read more

I have to mention the exceptional service that I received throughout my visit. Maria, our server, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure that all of our needs were met and that we were enjoying our meal. This level of customer service really made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. I was thoroughly impressed with their exceptional ravioli and eggplant lasagna. As a vegetarian, it can often be a challenge to find delicious and satisfying options at restaurants, but Doppio Zero truly exceeded my expectations. read more

Went for dinner with a large group. We had a great time and the food was very good. I got mortadella pizza which tasted great. The pizza wasn't too salty, and the tomato sauce was well-balanced with other ingredients. The most impressive part was the pizza crust--it was soft and tender, reminiscent of pita bread and we were quite satisfied. Prosciutto burrata was refreshing and worth ordering! Food is sumptuous too. Service was great, we were happy with the recommended Italian wine. Dessert also tasted great. I will definitely visit again! read more

Went to this restaurant with a reservation for 6, but only 4 of us showed up on time. We were ready to dive into the menu, but got hit with a "nope, can't serve you until everyone's here." Seriously? It was such a bummer. Places need some chill with their rules, especially when we're there to spend our money and have a good time. Because of this, I'm not keen on going back or telling friends to check it out. Hope they think about being a bit more flexible in the future. read more
