This place is second to none! I've never had a burger like this ever. Kudos to the chef and kudos to the lady at the counter. Welcoming environment and bomb food!! #elhornito

Shrimp Pizza Medium
Priyam B.

I ordered a to go shrimp pizza and it was my first time ordering from this place and they did not disappoint. Their dough is the right thickness, has slight sweetness to it, the sauce to cheese and toppings ratio was just so perfect. The pizza tasted so good and was ready to pick up in 15 minutes.

While visiting the SF Bay Area, I decided to pick up some pizza for my o'hana, who were in town from Hawaii. The Al Pastor Pizza from El Hornito Pan Pizza caught my eye, especially since my brother, TP, is a big fan of Mexican food. I was hoping it would be a hit, but it turned out to be just okay. The pizzas were generously topped, but I noticed that the crust had a two-inch wide edge, which meant less surface area for toppings. The pizzas also felt undercooked; the dough was soft and chewy, and could have benefited from more time in the oven for a crispier crust and melted cheese. As some other Yelp reviewers mentioned, the dough has a different, sweeter flavor compared to standard pizza dough. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall like plaza near a residential area just off of Jarvis Avenue.

I had high hopes for the Al Pastor Pizza, but it ended up being just alright--I was really expecting more than "just okay." Of all the issues, the undercooked crust stood out as the biggest disappointment. If I were to return, I'd definitely ask for a crispier crust. Out of everything we ordered, the Combination Pizza was my favorite. (Shrugs) Also, just a heads up: there's a 3% credit card surcharge that wasn't mentioned at the time of payment.. Grand total including tax & credit card surcharge: $106 - Big Aloha! Food: 3 Ambiance: 3 Service: 3+ Value: 3

Hawaiian Pizza (4.25/5)
Marshal R.

DISCLAIMER: The dough is not your typical pizza dough. It's more like a Mexican sweet bread. (not saying it's a bad thing, just so you can align your expectations) THE GOOD - Pepperoni Pizza (4.25 out of 5) - - I like the pepperoni chosen. Oily but not overly oily. - Hawaiian Pizza (4.25 out of 5) - - Good quality ham and pineapple toppings. - Cheesy Bread (4 out of 5) - The dough is sweet but it blends well with the cheese. - Also good to note that the interior is nicely decorated and clean. - Staff was very friendly and welcoming. THE BAD - Also, the dough. - - I got to double, triple stomp on the fact that the dough/crust is sweet. If you're not expecting, you could be blinded sided and it might not be you're thing. THE UGLY - Nothing.

I was endlessly scrolling through Yelp, looking for new places to eat. I came across this pizza place and was excited to see that they served an Al Pastor pizza. I was pretty excited about it, as I have never tried an Al Pastor pizza. My first impression walking in, the smell threw me off, but in a GOOD way. It smelled like a bakery, not a pizza place. They were baking pan. I knew they sold pan here, but I didn't know they baked it too! It smelled very sweet. The restaurant itself is also very clean and spotless. I walked up to the register and was greeted right away. I ordered a personal sized pan pizza, half cheese, and half Al Pastor. I waited, and since I was the only person in there, it took about 20 minutes to get my pizza. Kinda long, but oh well. She served me my pizza and wow. I was so eager to take a bite and pulled one slice out. It passed the cheese pull test, that's for sure! The first bite was amazing. The pizza crust looks thick, but it's actually really light and airy. I've never had a crust like this. It is more like a bread crust instead of a pizza crust. Right amount of sauce and cheese, perfect amount of toppings as well. Al Pastor was nice and tender with a little kick. All veggie toppings were crispy and fresh. This place exceeded my expectations. Very nice hidden gem in Newark! I will definitely be back!

This is my favorite pizza place! They put lots of toppings, cook it perfectly, and the crust is the best! My order always comes fresh and hot and made exactly how i ordered it. I like their house salad the dressing is delicious! Everything I have tried here is great! Their personal pizza is a good size! Good prices as well.

Complimentary cheesy bread
Kat J.

Dinner 1/07/22 Al Pastor Pan Pizza? I had never heard that this was a thing until I found out about El Hornito Pan Pizza. We have been getting haircuts from the salon next door for about a year but never noticed the restaurant next door until one day when we saw there were a lot of people eating outside. After a quick Yelp search, we were here the following week to try their Al Pastor Pan Pizza. They started us off with complimentary cheesy bread. Soft, fluffy cheesy goodness. We ordered a large Al Pastor Pan Pizza and a large Bonus Pizza. Both were amazing. Their dough is so good! The family loved the pan pizza crust. The Al Pastor was a fusion of deliciousness. Sweet, cheesy, spicy... a great combination of flavors. The customer service was great, too. This is a family owned small business, so you know they appreciate their customers. I definitely will return.

Al Pastor Pizza.

AL PASTOR PIZZA! Marinated Al Pastor, pineapple, jalapenos, red onions, and, cilantro. I was talking to my friend in Georgia when picking this up and he said he wished they had something like this in his area. The crust is slightly sweet with a nice crispy bottom, it reminded of Panaderia bread. Lots of toppings and I love getting a lot of different flavors in every bite. I enjoyed this but at the same time because there are so many Indian Pizza restaurants in this area the onion and cilantro make it taste similar, would do well in areas other than Fremont/Newark! They have burgers and pasta as well which also look great. The signature pasta uses hotlinks and sounds very good. We also tried the sausage and olives for kids, same slightly sweet quality to the crust and covered in toppings. Kids loved it!

Cheese bread
Andrea G.

This place is a hidden gem! Do not let the exterior deter you The interior is clean and the staff was friendly, it's a very inviting restaurant. We ordered the El hornitos salad and a large al pastor pizza for the 4 of us. The waitress brought over some complementary cheesey bread while we waited. It's cheesy bread and marinara for dipping, what's not to love!? The salad was delicious. Every piece of lettuce was fresh and the toppings gave the salad a lot of flavor and texture. The dressing was perfection. Only 3 of us were sharing the salad and we all loved it. It's worth coming here for the salad alone The pizza was equally as excellent. I've never had an al pastor pizza but I can now say I'm a fan. The crust was tasty and the pineapple had just enough sweetness to offset the jalapenos. My kids love pizza, so I end up eating at them more than I care to admit. El Hornitos is by far the best one I've been to iin quite a while. The only way to improve it would be to have a cold beer to accompany my meal.

I'm very picky about food especially pizza, but I tried this place out and I could not recommend it enough! Everything is freshly cooked and baked. So so good! I can barely eat 2 slices of pizza but I ate this whole pizza by myself. It was that good!

The traditional pupusa was warm and stuffed with hot, melted cheese and beans. The cheese pull was impressively long. I think there was also some shredded pork hidden in the cheese. The curtido or pickled cabbage was yummy and crunchy but more sour than I'm used to. Also got a side of fried sweet plantains. So good. Loved the option of ordering the plantains plain without the beans, crema or queso fresco. Didn't care for the pineapple agua fresca which was too sweet for me. Maybe I should have tried the passion fruit instead. Sat in the dining room closest to the street corner, to the left of the register. Light and airy room. Humble neighborhood restaurant with mom and pop vibes. Small menu but based on my meal, can't wait to come back and try the rest of their food.

You get 12 piece of tacos filled with meat onion and cilantro plus they will also give us salsa and lime. It was enough to feed 6 people with extras. DoorDash ordering sometime you could not let them know what you want on sauces and any other extra. I think if you order through the phone and pick up the food is way better. You probably will get all what you want on the condiments. I am just glad they have door dash. Ambiance can really tell you because over the years it has always been door dash.
