Chocolate chip cookie
Breanne B.

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.

BBQ Chicken Delight

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!

Sausage sandwich
Angela M.

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.

Combo minus bell peppers and pepperoni. Delicious!!

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.

She just wanted him to note that the kitchen did not allow them to filter out the sand. He exploded and said all clams would be sandy and suggested she was ignorant. FYI, I have linguine and clams at many restaurants and have never had that much sand in it. He obviously does not know how to speak to customers and also has a problem with women. Criticism is met with anger and denial. Beware: if you express any dissatisfaction with your meal, you might be confronted by the owner, who will try to intimidate you, argue with you for way too long and tell you that you are wrong. Even though a manager came by to apologize with gift cards encouraging us to give them another try, we will never go back. This will be our last $300 lunch at Paradiso.
