Been coming here for 40 years. Pizza sandwich is still my absolute favorite and their homemade ranch is amazing. It is frustrating that some employees charge for ranch $1.19 each tiny cup and others don't charge at all. So it's worth it to try to ask for ranch first to see if you get it for free. Potatoes need salt every time. Spaghetti never comes with enough sauce so make sure to ask for extra. These seem to be free, I've never been charged. Pizzas are great and so is the dessert cookie. Note that their salads are filled with beets and garbanzo beans, like loaded! Raviolis are yummy!!! Thank you, see you next time.
I came here with a group of 15 people on a weeknight and they reserved a long table for us. You order first, then they'll give you a buzzer. The buzzer wasn't working so they called out names too. I got the 10" mini - BBQ Chicken Delight (they don't have one slices here). It was yummy! Obviously, I couldn't finish it all myself so they gave us mini Togo pizza boxes which were super cute. The pizzas here are meant to be shared cause they are huge! There's a small parking lot but this day I came, they were full so I parked on the sidewalk. Not a bad spot if you're craving some pizza.
I visited Porky's Pizza Palace in San Leandro for the first time during the AFC Championship game, and it turned out to be a great place for a big group. We had about 16 people, and the space handled it well. We ordered four large pizzas: * Two pepperoni * A Hawaiian with jalapeños * The Chicken Club Since I don't eat pork, I stuck mostly with the Chicken Club, which was really good--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, the pizzas were tasty and well made. For appetizers, we ordered: * Fried mushrooms * Mozzarella sticks * Jalapeño poppers * Wings Everything came out fresh and hot. The appetizers are a little on the pricey side, but the quality was good and the portions worked well for sharing. We also had sodas and water for the table. The atmosphere is one of the highlights. Porky's has that classic, old-school community feel. There are plenty of TVs for watching games, a few arcade machines, and walls filled with Little League and youth sports photos going back decades. From what I saw, the place has been around since 1964, and you can really feel that neighborhood history. The staff was friendly, organized, and handled the crowd well, especially with a big game day turnout. This is a great spot if you're planning a party, group gathering, or game watch. They also have a good beer selection (we didn't try it this time, but it's available). The only thing I regret is not trying their Rustic Margherita Pizza--that's definitely on my list for next time. Overall: Two thumbs up If you're in the San Leandro area and want a fun, relaxed place for pizza, sports, and good company, Porky's is worth checking out.
I have lived in this area for over 15 years and I FINALLY had Porky's. I understand now. The quality is great! It isn't oily and doesn't make you feel terrible even after you ate the extra slice you shouldn't have. Service is quick and staff are pleasant. We ate outside to enjoy the air. I'd come back and try other pizzas! While it is pricey, the quality of it shows and it's well worth it.
Was craving pizza and some friends had recommended Porky's Pizza Palace. They had hyped it up so I was quite excited to try them out. We ordered for delivery and received all our items. The pizza had a nice thick crust, nicely flavored sauce however we asked for light cheese and it was caked with a layer of cheese. Some people love extra cheese but we prefer light cheese on our pizza. If you're a cheese lover then you'll def like this pizza. We also ordered some potato wedges and was pleasantly surprised to see they were large wedges. The wedges lacked seasoning but a little salt and pepper made it much more tastier. Surprisingly the real star of our dinner was their chicken bucket! The chicken was crispy on the outside yet moist on the inside. It had great flavoring inside and out. Would I come back for the pizza? Probably not since there's other spots I'd prefer to get pizza from. But I'd definitely come back for the chicken!
Raised in San Leandro and have heard hype about Porky's my entire life. Finally went on Saturday a couple of weeks ago and it... was just ok. The staff were all friendly people. The pizzas came out pretty fast. But the pizzas were *very* inconsistent in quality despite the only difference being size. I ordered a mini pepperoni, while my brother ordered a large pepperoni. Our pizzas came out looking totally different. Mine was very thin crust, very oily, with slightly overdone crust, while my brother's had perfect, fluffy crust, was thicker, and very cheesy. Not overly oily, either. Mine looked overdone and deflated by comparison. Not sure what happened here, and maybe I just should've sent mine back. In retrospect, I wish I did because my brother's pizza was delicious and what I was craving from a pizza that night, whereas mine was just ok but left me really disappointed. Definitely not the strongest first impression. My husband got the sausage sandwich and deep fried zucchini. Deep fried zucchini isn't something I'd ever order but I tried his and thought they were actually nicely done. Crispy exterior, tender zucchini inside. But while his sandwich was generous in size and pretty tasty, the bread looked scorched on the ends, as though they just barely got it out of the oven before it burned entirely. The chocolate chip dessert pizza was great, very gooey and melty. I appreciate the somewhat divey feel of Porky's. It reminds me of San Leandro growing up, a place I deeply miss because the San Leandro of today is simply not the same. But I also think Porky's could do just a *bit* more to spruce the place up and make it look a little less tired inside. Overall, I was disappointed with my first Porky's experience because of how sad my pizza was compared to my brother's, but since his was delicious and exactly what I was hoping for, I'd be willing to give Porky's one more chance to see if I'll get a better pizza next time. And if anything, it'd just be nice to get another nostalgia bomb by having another meal here.
Pizza today wasn't as good, sloppy presentation compared to last time. I drive 14 miles to enjoy this place. Think next time I'll go with fried chicken
My oh my, was this place busy! I know San Leandro has its spots, but I did not know Porky's Pizza Palace had it like this. In terms of customer service, I'd say there's some room for improvement--being welcomed and checked up on after ordering would've made the experience better. Nevertheless, the pizza itself was amazing. The garlic white sauce was fabulous, layered perfectly with the cheese and combined with the veggies to make an incredible pie. I couldn't even finish it while sitting there because the portions are very generous--especially for the XL pizza. Honestly, if I had ordered this at home through delivery, it would've been gone before a commercial break even finished. I also tried their fried chicken since it's in high demand, but in my opinion, it's okay to skip. Instead, I'd recommend heading across the street to Clancy's Ice Cream for a satisfying finish to the day. Their prices are great (tax included), the portions are generous, and although the line is long, it's absolutely worth the wait--especially after downing three (maybe four... who's counting?) slices of Porky's pizza on a Friday night. Overall, the pizza is great--highly recommend. Pair it with ice cream across the street, and you've got yourself a fantastic day. I will definitely be recreating this experience again.
Food usually is good here. Service was fine. Ambience lots of chatter coming out from the kitchen. And some T.V.

First time and wow. This place is awesome. Walk-in and the smells of chicken and baking pizza, start you mouth watering .Order and pay at the counter, polite and knowledgeable staff takes your order and gives you a pager. Sat at the bar and had an oatmeal stout,mmm good.? Lots of tables, some tv on the walls, cozy and comfortable. In the car the smells made we want to stop and Devor the contents of the bag and box. One plate of chicken (4) pieces and a mini pizza was enough for two with left overs. Plentiful toppings all meat tons. Chicken crispy and moist absolutely delicious. Five star all the way. read more

A simple family dinner night with my family after a long day at work. Their fried chicken is juicy on the inside and has a nice crispy crust on the outside. We ordered 16" BBQ chicken pizza and my kids love it--sweet and tangy lots of BBQ chicken. Great customer service, we first ordered our food, and after we ordered our drinks at the bar separate bill, kid-friendly they have a small arcade on the corner. Big screen TVs to watch sports, plenty of tables very spacious. read more

In the Oakland area a was looking for a local pizza place. The front desk at the hotel recommended Porky's as a good local hangout. Plus the name is the best! Thoughts came back about the movie. lol. So I had to try it. I wasn't disappointed. I got the mini meat lovers and a beverage. Pricey at $24 but it is California where even taking a breath of fresh air costs a deposit. The pizza was the size of a medium in a normal place so plenty to eat and a lot of ingredients. I would have given a 5 but the cost held me back. Would come back if I'm in the area again. read more

My first time here and it was ok. Good customer service from the counter. But you gotta buy your drinks in the bar?! I would like to charge my food and drink at the same time and I can't! The pizza was ok. The fried chicken was good though. read more

I usually order the same pizza, I love the crust. I recommend Porky's to others and my family loves it. Today was different. The crust was so tough. There was a lot of extra flour covering the outer crust. The dough was obviously over worked and tough as cardboard. I'm not giving up on Porky's because this is must have been a bad day. Looking forward to getting a good pizza next time. Thanks. read more

My SO wanted to try this place and as someone who has soent majority of my life in San Leandro. I hadn't tried it nor stepped foot into porky's. The place is huge and has a nice vibe to it. I liked seeing people of all generations lounging here. My SO also grabbed a drink as we waited and he mentioned the beer was top notch. The margerita eventually arrived and it was marvelousss ~ read more

When you hear "Porky's" how can you not think of the 80s movies about horny teenagers looking for a thrill? Well, chuckles aside, my wife and I went on a Thurs night around 6 pm. We drove around the parking lot, which was full. At 6 on Thurs? These people can't all be inside. Yup, they were. The place was packed. Lots of families after soccer games, adult meet-ups, and families having a night out. A neighborhood joint. TV all around playing sports. Being our first time, we tried the pizza (Porky's the works), the fried chicken and the ravioli. For me, the ravioli was the star. The fried chicken was really moist. The pizza crust was kind of underwhelming and greasy. Overall, the food was good, but not great. The workers are all nice and the prices are reasonable. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Yelp im so disappointed in you. Y'all be straight cappin'. This place is trash. Either you have no taste buds or you're used to eating out of the dumpster. Spaghetti sauce is from an MRE from 1985 for sure. Meatballs smelled like goat, tasted worse. Pizza pictures expectations vs reality for reference. F'ing gross. read more

Hi there, is there a sauce that you recommend on the pizza that does not have fresh garlic? Dehydrated or dried garlic is fine.
