House Combo (Small 10") with Jalapeño Ranch which was sooooo good.
Ryan H.

Nice and clean restaurant. We decided to dine-in. Wanted to try a new pizza restaurant in Pinole.

Sausage, onion & mushroom pizza
Kelley K.

Yes, very good! Not Authentic Italian pizza great but good American pizza. With quality ingredients! Very tasty. I was greeted with a smile from a very nice owner/employee. He was helpful & friendly. Their restaurant is clean & welcoming. $20 for a small 3 ingredient stuffed crust pizza. It was yummy. Thing to note: no pork at this establishment.

I love deep dish pizza, with Zachary's in Berkeley being my usual go to. But I wanted to try somewhere closer to home and once I saw all the rave reviews about Pinole Pizza House's deep dish pizza, I had to give it a try! And boy, I'm sure glad I did! I ordered the house combo deep dish and OMG it was amazing!! Stuffed with delicious fresh ingredients, oozing with yummy melting cheese and just the right amount of tomato sauce - Perfecto!! It's funny bc my wife said that she likes it better than Zach's and I honestly can't disagree. Highly recommend!

Small cheese pizza $8.99 on thick crust
Angela M.

Daddy had a hair appointment so little one and I needed to pass time. Originally we planned on exploring Dollar Tree, but as we approach the store I saw a sign "(Pinole) Pizza House." I asked my little one if she wasted pizza and with a yes we headed there. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and hospitable. He was patient while we learned the menu and my little one decided what she wanted. A small cheese pizza ($8.99) with a thick crust ($?) and two drinks - a canned coco cola and a canned lychee sparking water - total came out to $20.44. We took a seat. The restaurant is small with seating of 4 at four tables and seating for two at one table. My daughter picked the table for two - farthest from the door and closest to the restroom. While we waited a napkin dispenser and seasoning packets were brought to our table along with two plates. The pizza arrived at our table fairly quickly - I estimated 15 min or so. The pizza was on a thick crust (as ordered) with a layer of cheese and tomato sauce peeking through the cheese. The thick crust was airy, crispy and soft. The cheese has a presence, it was salty and lightly spread across the pizza. The flavor of the tomato sauce is highlighted mostly. The cheese was not as prevalent as I would have liked, yet each bite was flavorful and enjoyed. Open Monday through Sunday 11am to 10pm, enjoy many selections. Their speciality selections on a small are $11.99. I was looking at their shrimp option and their margarita pizza. Since my daughter favors cheese, we started with this pizza to begin our introduction. Their speciality pizzas add not unique but they are diverse, hitting the flavor profile of many. I would try Pinole Pizza House again for a speciality option. I enjoyed their customer service and appreciate their hospitality.

I saw this place on Tik Tok, & so many people were saying many great things about it. I told my boyfriend let's go here to try it out, so while we were running errands, I gave this place a call & asked what would be the wait time for 1 (10 inch) margarita pizza, & it was about a 15 minute wait, which I loved because I was already so hungry & didn't feel like cooking. When I called, they were very nice, friendly, answered all my questions. Anyways, once we got the pizza, & I took that first bite, it was a moment of "heaven on earth" because of the flavors. It's so hard to find a pizza spot that doesn't have a dough that is so dry, but this pizza had the softest dough ever. It was like biting into a warm cloud omg. The pizza was also not overly tomatoey. It seems as if they use freshly cut up tomatoes for the sauce. Pizza tasted very fresh. Everything about it was just perfect.

Everything and the kitchen sink.

July 18, 2025 2pm 4 stars We drove to Richmond months ago to Richmond Pizza House and had a good bite. I was happy to find out a sister branch opened closer to home in Pinole. We were greeted warmly as we entered by a young man in the kitchen looking busy at a task. I sat down and enjoyed friendly Italian style mood music as my wife chose our pie. At the counter, a medium Margherita pie with thin crispy crust and "add sausage please" was chosen from their extensive menu plus one coke. $30 Our pizza arrived in about 20 minutes. My wife reaches for a slice and the table wobbles. She spends the rest of the meal steadying the table with her foot. "Do you like it?" she asks. Those words always mean she doesn't like something and turns out she didn't like it. She thinks it tasted fine but was too expensive for its thinness. "If it was more like $23 it would be better." She says when asked. I defended the pizza as in my mind she got exactly what she ordered. It Was flavorful but pretty damn thin though for $30. The employees are very friendly and the service is #1. The store is small and clean and comfortable. I would definitely come back if I had the option to enjoy a beer there with my meal. The restroom is clean but didn't seem to have a way to lock the door from the inside. Maybe instructions need to be posted. I'll try to talk her into going back for a more substantial pizza.

Menu

First off, love the flavor combos and the sesame twist crust at this place! Placed the order for a couple of pizzas: -Half Pesto chicken, half combo with sesame twist -Vegan spicy broccoli olive with garlic twist -Lemon pepper wings The pizzas were pretty tasty but the wings were too salty- please lay off the seasoning, they were barely edible. Pizza was ready when I arrived and the workers were very nice. Inside had ample seating but nobody was around- most probably get takeout. I'd love to try the other pizza flavors and hope they dust off the salt from their wings!

Breadsticks.
Jarrett N.

J wanted to give this spot 5 stars but the bread sticks were delivered burnt. Having said that the bread is super light and fluffy. I imagine they are amazing if baked correctly. But I'll never no because I'm not going to spend 10 bucks on them again. As for the pizza it is delicious. We got the sweet corn pizza (with bacon added) on sesame crust and the Jay special with mushrooms and garlic crust. Ya'll you can tell they spend time constructing the pizza. Everything was spread out perfectly. Great tasting dough, good sauce and fresh toppings. Will definitely order from here going forward over franchise chains. Dang shame about the breadsticks though. Reviewer note; I still ate them and did not call to complain. Just not my style.

Jacob C.

I ordered pesto chicken pizza , it tastes so good and not too salty . I m a fans of green onions and it has lots if fresh green onion on top of pizza , I likes eat more healthy so I requested no cheese on it , if u like eating healthy too , they also have cauliflower gluten free dough! Overall I like this custom made pizza and I ll try a calzone pizza here next time

Cheesy Bread
M C.

First time ordering from here. It was easy to order online and the food was ready right on time. We got a combo and cheesy bread. Both very good I loved the garlic on the cheesy bread. The combo was really meaty. We'll be back for sure.

Rob B.

Great little pizza spot by my house, not over priced and quality ingredients. The owners and the staff here are very welcoming and friendly. Great pizzas and great chicken wings. Will be a regular here.

Medium pepperoni pizza
Andre R.

I got a medium pepperoni pizza. It was very delicious. 10/10. Very nice place and location. Great customer service and very friendly. I highly recommend this pizzeria.

Who would of thought in this small plaza there was this hidden gem. I frequent this area at times…read morearound 6ish am to get Starbrrad for my co-workers. When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy. As we took a seat, I kept hearing the online ordering beeps while the nice young man was there checking them. Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious.

I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

It's been at least 5 years since my last visit to Sue's Kitchen, so I'm glad to find that my fave…read moreThai spot in the East Bay is still open for business. While some of the dishes hit the sweet spot for me, others left me wishing for something different. Our group ordered 6 different menu items to share and everything came out in quick succession: Nam Khao, Yum Pla Muek, Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Som Tum Gai Yang, and Massamun chicken curry. Of these dishes, the star was the Nam Khao. I loved the crunchy little grains of rice and the fermented pork added a nice tangy flavor profile to each bite. It would've been great if the dish had more pork pieces in it though. Yum Pla Muek (squid salad) had a spectacular sweet and sour dynamics overall, but ratio of protein to veggies needed an improvement. Despite the name, the dish felt more like a scavenger hunt for squid pieces hidden inside the sea of cabbage. Khao Soi was great in that the broth leaned more on the clear side rather than being overwhelmingly drowned in coconut milk. Flavor-wise, it was delicious but a bit oversalted for my taste. Pad Thai is pretty decent. The sweet and tangy mix was definitely present and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Somehow, I felt like it was missing something within its aromatics profile. Perhaps the green onions should've been lightly tossed with the noodles at the end rather than sprinkled on top as a garnish. Som Tum was dissappointing in my opinion. Judging from the appearance of the papaya shreds, the preparation process might've skipped the authentic "tum" (pounded) part in the goold ol' stone mortar and pestle. The flavor was also a bit bland and the usual basic ingredients like peanuts, green beans, and dried shrimps, were nowhere to be found. Gai Yang (grilled chicken) pieces were pretty good. However, instead of steamed rice, they really shoul've included sticky rice to keep the dish's authenticity. I wouldn't recommend this dish if you're a die-hard fan of the original version. Massamun chicken curry was a bit too thin in the curry part. I didn't personally try this dish, but the general comments from those who did was that it was just mid. Overall, there's no doubt I'll be hitting Sue's Kitchen up again soon. Service there was quick, attentive, and efficient. Their price-point is also very reasonable for the portion size of the food. I'd recommend this place for anyone who wants quick and delicious Thai-Laotian food in a more quaint neighborhood of East Bay.

Went solo and sat at one of the high tops. Started with coffee, which was actually really good for diner coffee. I ordered the chicken fried steak with crispy hashbrowns covered in Monterey Jack cheese and a sweet cream pancake. The chicken fried steak was well seasoned and flavorful. I just wish the breading had been a little crispier. The gravy was definitely a highlight though. The hashbrowns had good flavor but were a little soft in the middle compared to how crispy I personally like them. Now the pancake... HUGE. Basically plate-sized. The sweet cream batter already gives it sweetness on its own, but once you add butter and syrup it really takes it over the top. Overall, a really good breakfast and definitely a solid option for breakfast or lunch in the area. They can get busy, but if there's a wait it's worth sticking around for.
