    Came with a group of 8. Delicious pizza and friendly customer service. We ordered 3 pizza; combo, chicken pesto and margarita. All were yummy.

    I ordered online at Pizza California, and this place is very nostalgic to me. We would get it all the time as kids, so I wanted to try it again. The place is large with lots of seating inside. There seemed to be one person working and making the pizzas at the time I picked up my order. He was nice and service was quick. I got the Steakhouse pizza. It was interesting to have steak on pizza. I did think it was a little too greasy for me, but the crust was good. Next time, I will stick to the Bruschetta Chicken likely.

    Jan 2025. Lunch Special

    Just wanted to update the Happy Hour and Lunch Specials. Happy Hour Monday - Friday, 4pm - 6pm. Lunch Special Deal, Monday - Friday, 11am - 2pm.

    If I could give this location zero stars, I would. I would like to specifically mention Ambika H. for her unprofessional behavior. I arrived at 4:56 PM to order the Combo Special, which was advertised as ending at 5:00 PM. I was informed that the special was no longer available, so I accepted that and proceeded to order wings instead and paid. However, after my order, I observed that two customers after me were given the Combo Special, despite it already being past 5:00 PM. I questioned why I was not offered the special when I arrived before 5:00 PM, yet others after me received it. I was told that one customer received it because they had called ahead and were a "daily customer," and the other because they were a family member. This is clear favoritism and extremely unprofessional, especially toward a first-time customer. I requested to speak with a manager, only to be told that she herself was the manager, which makes this situation even more disappointing. A manager should uphold fair and consistent service, not display biased treatment toward customers. This experience has left a very negative impression, and I do not appreciate being treated unfairly.

    came into Pizza California for dinner and I was disappointed that they stop serving pizza slices at 5 o'clock. And their salad bar used to be where you serve it all yourself but now everything is behind glass and they serve it for you. I don't like the new changes when did this happen, lol.

    Steakhouse (Large 14")
    Patricia J.

    I always enjoy the food at Pizza California. My husband and I always share a large steakhouse pizza. We ordered lemon pepper wings today as well. One of my favorite things is the collection of hot sauces. Sadly with the newer ownership, I have found the service to be a lot slower and not as warm as before. They're nice enough but there is definitely something lacking. So far this isn't enough to deter us from coming. The dining room is always clean, neat and well stocked. I really like the posters they have on the walls and the lamps above the tables.

    Came highly recommended by local friends, and rightfully so -- fell in love with it this weekend! The sourdough crust is the best I've enjoyed in the Bay Area, hands down! Speedy and friendly service, paired with a cozy family restaurant ambience, make this an excellent experience. Will be a repeat customer! Bonus points for the patience, grace, love and kindness with which the staff treated the large neurodiverse group seated as a large group in the restaurant today. Great people running a great restaurant!

    I've always passed by here to Hmart but never visited. One parent had organized a team basketball dinner here and I was surprised. Clean, decent seating, draft beer and wine. Cashiers were very pleasant and really accomodated our large group that consisted of 40 people. Ordered a half steakhouse/ chicken pesto pizza and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Spicy Buffalo Wings
    Ter L.

    I've always been a fan of Pizza California. I've come here periodically for YEARS!! My typical purchases involve whole pizzas, breadsticks, and pitchers of beer. With my most recent visit, I was craving a nice salad and the neighboring salad joint happened to be closed. Lucky for me, I walked over to PC and was left completely blown away by my poor decisions of not giving them a chance sooner. I placed an order for the Newport Salad. This includes: mozzarella, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, and crispy salami strips. My order was done quickly and super affordable. The size of the salad was hearty, the greens were vibrant & crops, and the house-made vinaigrette was delish! 5/5 stars. This place is officially an added option to my list of salad joints.

    The pizza and other food were excellent 100% recomended, until they started cleaning to close an hour and a half early. The cleaning aromas are not very compatible with the pizza.

    the 10-in Athena with garlic sauce, feta cheese, fresh basil, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and red onions
    Stephanie O.

    Ordered delivery at this place for the first time I ordered the Athena 10-in pizza with basil, mushroom, garlic sauce, and other fixings The pizza was delivered about 30 to 40 minutes after the order was placed. It was still warm when I got to pick it up at my front door It was tasty and perfect for one person and more

    Malibu (Medium 12"). It's a Hawaiian. Very good.

This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?).

When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

Instead, we were told we had to order food by 9:25pm but after being seated, no one came to help us for quite a while with no menus. My husband stood up and requested a menu. That already put us behind, through no fault of our own. Once someone finally came over, everything felt rushed. We were told we couldn't get beer past 9:40pm and by 9:35pm our server (Tejas P.) was already trying to take our card while we were still getting drinks he had said 9:40pm was the last call but rushed us before . The whole experience felt like we were being pushed out the door. To make things worse, staff were staring at us while we were eating, which made it really uncomfortable. When we had asked for to go containers, we also asked for extra ranch to go.. well our server said he didn't think so but my husband was upset and said " what ? You can't get any ranch, really? " He answered " let me check but I'll have to charge extra" we said it was fine and he did end up bringing some out. The food was actually great, but the service completely ruined the experience. I always tip, even when service isn't perfect but this was the first time I felt it wasn't deserved. No customer should feel rushed or uncomfortable like this, especially when they arrived within business hours. This place seriously needs to improve how they treat guests even toward closing time we had more than enough time to get treated with some respect.

And after all this time, so little has been done to improve the space, so I have to slam you for your mismanagement of a great venue. Yes, you are creating space for so many niche hobbies. You're creating community for a crowd I resonate with. But goddamn, you're really shooting yourselves in the foot still. Problems that need to be addressed: 1. If you're booked for a private event, you NEED to declare it to the public. Don't make me walk up intending a night with friends, only to be turned away because you found a better way to make money. Like how hard is it to have an instagram, or a website with an events page (you DO, omfg, USE it) and warn folks. I would say only about half of the private bookings are declared currently; which is absolutely pathetic. Imagine how many people you're pissing off aside from me. How do you expect to cultivate customer loyalty this way? 2. Your restroom facilities..... it's like what you find in a derelict stadium from the 60s. My god. It's gross in there. A huge update is needed. But I guess you're holding out hope that facility can be booked by Hollywood for it's next horror-slasher scene. 3. Your bar program. Are you serious? The same cocktails and same EXACT beers on rotation since you first opened years ago. You're in the heart of the beer capital--SJ use to have 20+ breweries until COVID and Gen-X+Alpha killed it. With all these amazing local producers, you do nothing to support them and source beers that people would love to try. The lack of a bar program is abysmal. Forget missing out on pleasing your patrons with amazing choices. Think about how much money you could be making. I look at your space, the amount of traffic you're getting; and all I see is how you utterly dropped the ball. Talk to any restaurateur/entrepreneur, and they'll tell you how massively you're dumping potential profits. Amongst the various communities that frequent your joint, we all openly hate your bar, and wish it could be expanded: both in size to reduce lines during peak hours and more offerings 4. Acoustics. You've done very little to dampen echo in a building with nothing but hard surfaces. There's never truly a sense of comfort since our ears are constantly assaulted. While there are many other issues, these are the most critical that need to be corrected. The amount of people that I've brought here and met randomly always share the same conclusion: this place is cool, but it could be so much better. As courtesy and creating space for communities that need it, I'll remove this review if you at least address half the issues. We all like you. But just do BETTER. You don't even have to do it for us. Trust me, you'll make more money.
