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.

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

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.

I'm talking the most pungent thing I've smelled ever. There isn't alot (if any) ventilation or air conditioning so it smells like a dozen rotten eggs. The best way that I can describe the smell is sickening. If you have a weak stomach- you have been forewarned. Second- I looked in my bag and noticed there weren't 2 garlic noodles for the buy 1 get 1. No biggie. I asked and figured I'd get it with no issue. The cashier said it's "in store only", not DoorDash. But- I'm picking up my DoorDash order so clearly it's being promoted lol. After going back and forth for a while and the cashier literally checking everything down to the location, she began speaking to someone in the kitchen that I am assuming is the owner. He proceeds to tell me not to worry that they take care of it "this time" which is what ultimately prompted my review. No sir- this is something that should be honored every time, with every customer because I would have been furious if I'd selected delivery and only 1 order showed up for 3 kids. A "large" looks awfully like a small so it's not even like it could've stretched. Customer service is SO BAD now and this is a reminder that discrepancies with DoorDash shouldn't fall on customer now or ever. Fire wings isn't cheap by any means and customers choose to spend their hard earned money with you.

My family and I have been coming to Taste of Lao Thai for several years now. It's one of my…read morefavorite spots in Hercules. They have a menu that features both Lao and Thai food. The interior has a ton of things to look at including two giant murals of Laos and Thailand. In the front there is a bench for you to take pictures at in front of a wall of greenery and flowers. Stopped by this week for a late birthday celebration. The food: Recommended without reservation - Nam Khao - my favorite dish in Hercules. It's one of those dishes that has everything - chewy crunch from crispy rice, fresh crunch from lettuce wrap, herby cilantro and mint, crunch from peanuts, chewy from pork, sweet, salty, sour, umami, and slightly spicy. Somehow it all comes together in one of the tastiest, albeit messiest, wraps in this world. Tilapia Rad Prik - tilapia, fried whole until crispy and slathered in a sweet chili garlic sauce. This is a sweet and slightly tangy flavor bomb. A little bit hard to navigate the bones, but it's worth it. Recommended - Thai Papaya Salad - fresh, not too sweet or spicy. This one generally the whole family will eat. Mom and dad liked the Lao one but I think it was a bit too fishy for some of the family members. Mango with Sticky Rice - I think it's a solid version here. Rice is a little on the softer side of ideal. Red Curry - solid. Reasonable amount of meat and veggies (green beans, bell peppers, bamboo shoots) The other dishes - Thai Laos Fried Rice - missing that sear flavor and a bit on the wet side. Beef was kind of chewy, so we're probably sticking to chicken or pork next time. Rad Nah - we ordered this dish with chicken. It comes with wide rice noodles, broccoli, and carrots. This is just a bit too saucy for me. Sauce is quite sweet with nothing to balance it. I wish the noodles were stir fried a little before going into the sauce. Overall, this restaurant has some fantastic dishes that keep us coming back.

We chose a table for two by the window, and a couple of times we were kindly asked if we would like a larger table. I got the impression this is a family run restaurant, and they were very friendly. The place is on the small side but comfortable and cozy. There are interesting murals of Laos on one wall and Thailand on the other side. The most important part, the food, was basically perfect! My husband had the salmon curry and said it might be the best salmon he's ever eaten, which is high praise considering salmon is his go to dish. I tasted it and found it very succulent in a flavorful sauce. There was a good amount of perfectly cooked broccoli with it. The restaurant caters to all spice levels. I had eggplant and veggies with tofu and it was perfectly cooked. Not soaking in oil like often happens with eggplant. We saw other things on the menu we will definitely come back to try. Highly recommend! P.s. This restaurant is also listed under the name Thai Lao for some reason, so see that for further reviews.

Plenty of shopping center adjacent (and free) parking, and wallet friendly. They serve Thai/Laos beer, wine, and a nice dessert menu.

Now, is this Popeyes location the best fried chicken I've ever had? Absolutely not. But is it decent? Yes, and it's definitely a better experience than its fried chicken neighbor in the same shopping center. That place was an absolute nightmare for me! When I get a sudden craving for fried chicken and don't feel like driving too far, this is usually my go-to spot. I've had much better fried chicken at places in Oakland, San Francisco, and a few other locations I've reviewed, but sometimes you just want something quick and convenient. This Popeyes gets the job done. Their chicken is generally pretty decent. It's not amazing, but it's satisfying enough when that craving kicks in. I've had a few occasions where my stomach wasn't feeling great after eating here, possibly from the chicken or side dishes, although I can't say for certain what caused it. One thing I find strange is their DoorDash availability. Sometimes you can order from them, and other times you can't. I have no idea what's going on with that, but it's a little frustrating when you're craving fried chicken and trying to get it delivered. Overall, this is my convenient fried chicken spot. It's not going to win any awards in my book, but it's decent, usually available, and satisfies that craving without having to drive all the way to Oakland or San Francisco. Would I recommend it? Sure, if you're looking for a quick fried chicken fix. Just don't expect the best fried chicken you've ever had!
