    Half chicken butter half tika masala 1/5
    Rosie W.

    We ordered half butter chicken and half tika masala. The base of this pizza is worse than little Caesar's, which is crispier on the outside and has more flavor. A few things went wrong with this pizza: - The pizza dough is too chewy, too soggy. - The pizza dough doesn't have any taste to it. - There were way too many onions in the pizza. They could've easily called this an onion pizza. If this were a frozen pizza, i think it'd be decent but it was made fresh and it cost $30. I would say the flavor is pretty good but everything I mentioned above trumps it all. The service was nice. They were patient while we looked through the menu and recommended a few items. Took about 20 min for the pizza.

    Had the garlic chicken pizza. Garlic sauce and ingredients taste delicious, and fresh Friendly staff. Will definitely be back

    6/24/24 I twisted my wife's arm to visit this shop. "Look" I sez. "The place is clean, quiet, they have good food, and they have good beer on tap." We arrive and order a small pizza. A glass of New Belgium Space Dust IPA and a diet Coke for my Wife. We look for a clean table. STRIKE ONE. A lot of the tables are not spotless like last visit. We clean one ourselves. There are two televisions blasting nonsense into the atmosphere and we are the only customers so I ask them to turn the noise level down. No response. I find the remote and do it myself. STRIKE TWO. The cashier comes to our table and reports the keg of beer that I paid for a glass from is empty. Since I already paid, I chose a lesser ale. swing and a FOUL BALL. The pizza arrives piping hot and delicious. Crust with cornmeal makes you want more and more. Not too salty and I can't stop folding mouth watering slices and shoving them into my pie hole. Swing and CRACK! Pizza Twist connects and... Ladies and Gentlemen it is going, going, going and ... HOME RUN!!! We've just witnessed History! Wow.

    Neither Hubbers or I didn't feel like cooking, so we threw ideas in a hat (so to speak) as to what we really had a taste for. After much debate, this place won out. I wanted the Hawaiian pizza, but we felt a couple of sides or starters were musts. We didn't realize the choices seemed endless and that it took us a bit to finally narrow it down. After much debate and using the process of elimination, we finally had a list! So I picked up the phone and put the order in. "It'll be ready in 30 minutes..." Got in the car 25 minutes later (they are that close to home) and found myself inside in no time. They were close to closing time, chairs atop tables, floors clean, and was welcomed in very nicely. I was told they were just about finished with my stuff. Showed the perk, paid and in a minute, I was walking out the door with my goodies. That 5 minute drive felt like a 500 minute drive, car smelled so delish!!!! SHAHI PANEER NAAN: A meal in itself! So glad I started with this. There's a nice crisp to the bread, had a slight and nice Indian curry aroma and the paneer added texture. The tomatoes and onions served as sidekicks of sorts that also added to the overall flavor. I really REALLY liked it! BUTTER CHICKEN NAAN TWIST: It looked strikingly like the paneer version, but trust: it's a whole different profile. They are consistent with the crisp of the bread. The chicken was seasoned well and moist. Veggies were also sidekicks that helped elevate the flavor. Delish! LEMON PEPPER WINGS: Flavor was perfect, and though the chicken was cooked through and through, I would have much preferred it with a little bit more crisp. But hey, that's a personal thing, and I will take it as they serve it. (Side note: I had leftovers and popped them in the air fryer for a bit and eventually got the texture - while that perfect flavor remained - they way I like it.) HAWAIIAN PIZZA: Thin crust. Perfect amount of cheese. The amount of ham and pineapple were commensurate with each other and there were plenty of both. Crust was crispy. To heck with people who say pineapple should never be on pizza, this was yummishhhhh!!! FOOD: 5. There was nothing I didn't like. SERVICE: 4. Very little interaction, but certainly above average for the small amount of time I was there. They were all very friendly and welcoming. VALUE: 5. Worth it. Plenty of food for two, we had enough leftovers for a snack/small second meal. PARKING: Shared with others. Not an issue nearing closing time. OVERALL: 4.75. The chicken Cesar salad and the spicy wings were all Hubbers, so I can't comment on them. He liked them, though, I'll attest to that. The next time - because there will be one - will be a dine-in experience. I'm confident they'll earn that 5th star then.

    Paneer

    Great option for a desi pizza! Tried paneer and tandoori chicken and surprisingly veg was as good as chicken. I have had in similar places in east bay where the large pizza size is a big bigger for a couple more bucks. So I wished this was big enough too, but 2 pizzas sufficiently fed 4 of us. So am happy with the experience overall.

    Hercules got a new pizza spot! Pizza Twist is an international pizza chain. With locally sourced ingredients and premium quality GMO-Free meat, the menu is filled with vegan, gluten-free and traditional Indian twists of flavor. How amazing is that?! We had a nice Sunday football spread going and these babies fit right in. We got 3 medium pizzas - 1 supreme and 2 vegan chicken tikka masala and Bombay garlic chicken. The toppings were generous, vibrant and fresh. The flavors were unique (everyone loved the chicken tikka masala!) and the crust was tasty with cornmeal dusted goodness. I wasn't too much of a fan of the vegan cheese but overall my family and I enjoyed the flavors. There's a ton of different pizza, wings (even vegan!), naan flavors to try - I personally want to try the butter chicken and paneer flavors next!

    Butter Chicken Naan Twist
    Arnel A.

    Pizza With A Twist! My very first time visiting Pizza Twist since they opened back in December. So tonight we decided it's Pizza night with a Twist! I've always wish that a pizza joint like this style with both Indian and Pakistan flavors would open up close by since I've always like these pizza style flavors in other places. So, tonight we ordered a medium Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza Twist and an order of Butter Chicken Naan bread and both without heat. As expected, the Chicken Tikka pizza was full of flavors with an even distributions of toppings. The toppings were spread consistently in each slice therefore each slice was flavorful. Yummy! Unfortunately the crust was slightly overbaked but I'll give it a pass this time. As for the Butter Chicken flavor Naan, it was flavorful but this time, the Naan was hard and over baked. I'm used to Naan being soft but this one was just the opposite. Is this how it's served?. I'll have to give it a try next time. But for now, finally, another pizza joint with a Twist of flavors! So, thank you for being here. I'll be back for sure!

    The former Extreme Pizza has become better than ever. Pizza Twist definitely has a twist that Dominos, Round Table, and Mountain Mikes doesn't have. I tried out this place after having my cup of Starbucks. I didn't expect to see a different selections on the menu. I would never see Halal on a pizza but when I had the Chicken Tikka Masala it was good. Would you believe that the breadsticks are naan? Round Table doesn't have naan on their breadsticks. You want a pizza cookie and brownie? This place has it. I will try this place again in the future. I do recommend this place for other Hercules residents.

I reached out to Eric to cater mini mochi donuts for my wedding in March and his customer service was superb. He was so personable and friendly that I just wanted to order just because of that! I ended up ordering 5 dozen minis and everyone at my wedding LOVED them. So much that I didn't even get to have any myself during reception. What stands out the most about Mochata's donuts is that the flavor is actually IN the donut itself. Not just the icing that we're all used to. And the texture? Exactly the way a mochi should taste. Flavors? ON POINT!! The toppings are very generous, especially the Cookies N Cream and Mint Oreo. My absolute favorites are Coconut Pandan, Ube and Strawberries N Cream and my husband always goes for the Mint Oreo. I haven't tried all the flavors yet but I have no doubt that they all taste delicious. I also got myself a Thai Horchata drink. I never thought about combining the two flavors together and it was super good! Now I feel like I need to try every flavor of that as well. Definitely plan to be a regular customer for whenever I have a craving

The ordering form was easy to understand and fill out, along with payment options. They delivered all the way out to San Leandro for a small fee. The donuts were good! The right amount of chewiness that I like in my mochi! The donuts have flavor infused into the dough as well as the glaze-- unlike other places where the glaze is the only part with flavor. I ordered strawberry, Thai tea and Ube. My kids loved them and so did the adults. I do wish the Thai tea and Ube tasted a little bit more like the flavor, but they were still yummy! Next time I'll have to try the horchata to go with it!

We've been to his smash burger spot in Richmond, and my parents tried his pop up back in the day over by the Crane way Pavilion (IYKYK). We were all impressed by the overall look and feel of this spot, from initial walk-in, to the food, and service. With country music playing, a clean and bright interior, and the sweet smells of juicy meat and sides waiting, we knew we entered the right place. We tried it all! Nachos for the table to start with deliciously diced brisket, beans, chives, cheese, BBQ sauce, and more, a loaded potato with pulled pork, meat plates including the ribs, sliced brisket, chicken, and a pulled pork sandwich. Everything was amazing and done right. You could tell there was love and care in each bite, which I feel for East Bay BBQ, is important. The portions were stellar, the quality was excellent, and we enjoyed sides of corn, mac and cheese, and cole slaw. There really isn't much else to it! We sat at a long table and there were rolls of paper towels attached to it which I wish we could get our "after" pic besides just the before pics because we def got saucy! I like the innovation of the loaded nachos and potato with proteins if you don't want a sandwich or a plate..great shareables, but also great portions for your own meal (or second meal too). They also do their smash burgers here, and had key lime mini pies for dessert. No beer/wine, but soft drinks. Plenty of parking adjacent and fair pricing for BBQ. We already can't wait to come back ~ I have my eye on those hot links! Thank you for bringing the vibes to Hercules.
