I ordered my pizza at 520 and it was only ment to take 20 minutes we called back 30 minutes later and they still did not put our pizza in the oven it has taken 3:00 read more

Had a takeout pizza from Primo's last night (7/10/20). It was inedible, to put it politely. It was a vegetarian-type pizza that had a vague fishy taste, and had way, way too much garlic. We try to support our local businesses but we won't do so for a $25 pizza that we had to throw away. read more

I truly feel Primos makes the best pizza in the area!!!

Definitely my favorite pizza in Danville/East Bay! Fresh ingredients, plenty of toppings, greasy and great! Sauce amount always just right. Linguica and Pepperoni is my go to, LOVE IT! read more

Loved this place since I was a kid and now I bring my own to eat pizza, run around with their friends (we always see at least one other family we know whenever we go!) and play in the arcade area. The worst part of the night is trying to drag the adorable little monsters away! The only issue is parking on the really busy nights, as in there isn't any. read more

Here for lunch and it never disappoints. Had the Attila salad with bacon and mozzarella. So good!! Kids always love their pasta. Have hosted many after season sports parties in the back room and it's always a blast. Great food, great service! read more

Wonderful to see all the awesome reviews! Absolutely love Primo's! It is a family favorite of ours. Not only for great food but is still one of the best Danville establishments after all these years. They are known for their delicious pizzas, however they have an amazing chef cooking up tacos and fajitas that can challenge any other taco Tuesday! The beer selection is always up to Par and love that they have the local micro beers rotating on tap. Great atmosphere if you just want to pull in for a cold one. Of course 6 feet apart! Love all the hand sanitizer to make sure everyone is being safe. The best thing about Primo's though is how they are continually giving back to the community. They support local schools by donations to fundraisers, host events at the restaurant, and now helping feed the frontline workers during this COVID19 pandemic. I have personally been a recipient of this generosity and I can't tell you how important and grateful their generosity has impacted our hospital alone! Keep up the good work Primos! read more

This has been a staple spot in Downtown Danville for over 20 years! Over time the food, staff, and entertainment just keeps getting better. The owner keeps Primos very involved with the community and they are ALWAYS the go to when delicious food is in need for events! They have everything from tacos, sandwiches, salad, pasta and their famous pizza. And you can't forget the full bar surrounded by 6 TVs when thinking of an upcoming game day!! The staff never misses a beat by being very welcoming and professional. This place is a MUST TRY all around! read more

Shut the front door. Spencer and Carter made our day! They even gave us some toilet paper! Also the food it bomb! So good!!!

Consistently the best pizza in the area bar none. Great family spot too with fun game area for the kiddos. We've been going to Primos for many years and in fact had our first date there. Good bar too with a good beer selection. Deep diss and classic thin crust both available but we prefer the classic. read more

I LOVE this place! Everyone in my family loves it! There is something for all of us. My favorite thing would be the pizza. The quality is just incredible! The next best thing to the pizza is the customer service! The people there are amazing! When you walk in they always greet you with a smile and get you a table or your take-out food as fast as possible. They really seem to care, and go out of their way to make your experice as best as possible! All there is to say is they have incredible employes and even better pizza! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone! Try it out I promise you will love it! I do! read more

Wow. I've never in my life been treated so poorly by a restaurant manager. I will never ever ever go hear again, and I will encourage everyone I know not to patronize this business. Timeline: 6:55- seated outside. 7:10- hostess takes our drink order. Can't take food order and tries to find server. 7:15- server finally arrives and takes order. 7:45- husbands pasta comes out. Where's my pizza? Out right always says the server. 7:55- I go inside to ask what my order is. Severs says kitchen is backed up and will be out momentarily. 8:05- no pizza and I ask to speak to a manager. The manager was a 20 year old kid. I explained hat happened, and he threw is arms in the air and said "what am I supposed to do?? The kitchen is really backed up!" I told him I didn't appreciate being talked to liked that, and he basically started getting defensive. This guys couldn't care less about the customers. I pray this place goes out of business and the manager is homeless. If I saw that guy in a dark alley, and smack the crap out of him. :-) I walked out and went to Jules Thin Crust. read more

I was visiting the Bay Area for my niece's birthday party, but by a happy accident it was also the weekend that the top West Coast Swing champions in the country were teaching workshops at Two Left Feet Dance Center in Danville. I called my local dance buddies who told me to meet them first for pizza and drinks at Primo's Pizza and Pasta, which is just down the block on the corner of Diablo Road and Hartz Ave. Apparently they eat (and drink) here almost every Friday night before dancing. When I arrived, there were only 6 other dancers there and we were seated together at a long table that seated 14-16 and were told the table next to that was ours, too. The waiter left us with 14 menus, and by the time he came back with our drink orders, the group had grown to 10. Four of us gals got together to order a vegetarian pizza, two dancers ordered a large barbecue chicken pizza and garlic bread, and two others ordered a Mediterranean pizza. People continued to trickle in over the next hour and a half and our waiter dealt with all of us coming and going and grouping up to form separate checks with a calm smile and a ready to please attitude. It would have driven ME crazy trying to keep track of who had and hadn't ordered, who was on whose check, and who needed refills, but he dealt with it well. By the time my pizza arrived, we were up to 18 people and by the time the second wave of food arrived we were over 25. The waiter knew a lot of people in the group and what their usual drink orders were. At least four of the people in our party knew the bartenders by name. Several of the late arrivals ordered salad and one ordered what looked liked a side order of meatballs. Meanwhile drinks were ordered and delivered in a timely fashion amidst all the chaos. AND at the end the waiter delivered every bill to the correct group and all of the totals were correct. service: 5 stars Our vegetarian pizza was good, and they delivered a small bowl of extra sauce as one of the girls requested. I'm not going to say it was the best pizza ever, but it was nice and hot, the crust was crispy, the toppings were plentiful, and the sauce was... well... saucy. I tried a bite of the chicken pizza and it was good, also. pizza: 3 1/2 stars The decor wasn't particularly fancy, but there were flat screens on the wall and from where I was seated I was able to follow the Athletics vs. Cardinals game and a Giants game while chatting and catching up with my friends. They manage to straddle the line between family pizza joint (one of the dancers and her husband brought their two kids under the age of two) and sports bar (other dancers at the same table were doing shots) admirably. It's a casual place, something a little different than you'd expect to find in old town Danville, a little less highbrow, but not quite blue collar either. atmosphere: 4 stars One of my friends ordered a mai tai and it was pretty strong. They aren't watering down their drinks, at least not at our table. My friends are totally gaga over this place, and I can see why they like it. The food is good, the atmosphere relaxed and casual, and the service staff is on their game. I think that deserves a solid four star rating. It is convenient to the dance studio, but there are certainly other places they could go if any of them felt the food or service was lacking. The neighboring dance studio is world class so I'm sure I'll be road tripping up here more and now that I know this is THE Friday night hangout for dancers. read more

This post is in direct response to apparent "Pizza Guru" Ryan C. I'd love the opporunity to counter his review, because it is completely wrong. I've been a regular for years, and let me set the record straight: Primos is a Danville staple. The sad part is, people are going to read Ryan's post and make decisions off of it. Ryan: 1- You state that the Family Salad is a stretch for 3-4 people. Out of the dozens of posts, you're the only one to comment on this. (Maybe the problem is Ryan!) 2- So you show up to a Pizza Place in Downtown Danville with 2 families at 7pm on a Friday, and you go online and complain about what table you get? Oh... Okay... Yeah. 3- Who cares if the Manager is a 21-year old female? Why does the sex or age of the Manager matter? What was her race? What was her sexual orientation? Oh that's right, none of that matters! 4- Pizza comes. They are out of silverware. They offer you plastic, and you turn it down? Who does that? The type of person who does a yelp review on an airport and expects people to manipulate travel plans off of it. (Normal people go for the cheapest fare Ryan) 5- "The final kick in the crotch" was that they didn't put your 3 slices of pizza in a box, and instead into something that uses less paper... Insightful. Thank you Ryan! You've said enough! read more

We were here earlier tonight, for a birthday dinner. We ordered the XL Godfather pizza with a thick crust. The place was not busy, and we were happy to receive our pizza quickly. It was a very good pizza. Our waitress however, left something to be desired and practically ruined our meal. Her name was Susan. Not 5 minutes after receiving our pizza, she rudely interrupted our conversation/dinner to slap us with our bill. It made us feel extremely unwelcome and unwanted. What she should have done was refill our drinks, which were empty. Instead, she felt it was more important to shove our bill on the table when we were not even through with our first slices of pizza. I can understand the urge to turn tables over on a busy night, but they were not even at half occupancy. The pizza was good, but the service was horrible. Because of this, I don't think we will be back. There are many other pizza joints that serve up good food but know how to treat their customers well. Susan if you read this (Blond, mid 40s) focus on giving good service because tips always reflect service rendered. PS: I won't even go into the sub par decor and appearance of the interior..... read more

Seriously, this place is a friggin LANDMARK in the eyes of Danville....but why? I have to walk here for dinner just to keep my sodium levels in check. I think everyone that loves this place recalls the "good ol' days" when they would meet up here post-little league and be awarded with their obligatory "even though you sat on the bench all season" trophy. Hey - wake up - just because the big, scary Corporate World isn't handing out "You Suck, but We Love Ya" awards...does not make this place any better in taste, salt content or general ambiance. Why the two stars? Service is consistently above average and done with a smile. That's always worth something! read more

I am only giving this place two stars because they have decent pizza and bar food. Other than that the service is pretty much shit unless you're sitting at the bar. My parents and I came here tonight, on a Friday night after going to a family friend's high school graduation. Granted the place did get a bit packed about ten minutes after we got there (about 830) and it was pretty busy, we sat down before the rush and our waiter was still as useless as tits on a boar. We had a little gem of a waiter also known as "Jeff K" (according to the server name on our check). Dad ordered vodka with a splash of cranberry, mom ordered Chardonnay and I ordered water. Just plain ol' EBMUD water. Alcoholic drinks were out in a flash, but for some reason it took about 15 minutes to retrieve my water from the tap. You'd have thought I asked the kid to fetch me fresh water from a freaking spring in the Rockies. After our drinks arrived we ordered calamari and surprisingly, that came out promptly. We had also ordered a single meatball (as strange as that sounds, we ordered it after having heard they were pretty good). The meatball also came out almost as soon as we placed the order. Upon receiving meatball we realized none of us had silverware or napkins. Despite how hungry we were we decided the polite thing to do would be to ask for silverware, resisting the temptation to just use our hands, for our stomachs were now growling and ready for food. Trying to flag "Jeff K" down was almost impossible between him flying past us light a lightening bolt -clearly worrying far more about his other patrons and their dining experience than ours- and disappearing to every table as if stealthily trying to avoid ours. After having asked him twice for silverware which he obviously was too busy to remember to get us he told us he was working on it and that there was no clean silverware left, despite the fact that 4 tables had been set right in front of us and silverware was being placed on those tables as he was speaking. 5 minutes later he came by our table and hurriedly slid 4 knives, 4 forks and a handful of napkins across the table. Really?! Rude ! The funny thing is we were nice as could be to this guy and he clearly did not have the time of day for us. Our pizza came out about 5 minutes later. He walked over to our table slapped it on the pizza stand and walked away. No words were spoken and no eye contact was given. He set it down and simply walked away. As if that weren't bad enough, when he came by several minutes later to give us our check he did the same thing. Pulled the check from his apron and slammed it down on the table in front of my dad. No "thank you" or "did you folks enjoy the food?" nothing. This guy was ridiculous. It's a shame that one server can give this quaint little pizza joint such a horrible name due to his inadequate and plain unsatisfactory customer service. I know what it's like working with the public because every job I've ever held has been in the customer service field and let me tell you that the way this man treated us was unacceptable and I really hope that someone reads this and word gets around because he really did make us feel worthless for no reason. I'm pretty lenient on servers and other people who provide services to the public because I know it is difficult and I sympathize, however this experience was inexcusable. We've been coming to Primos for years and I don't think we'll be paying this restaurant another visit any time in the near future. It's really too bad. And to "Jeff K," I apologize if you were having an off day or just a plain ol' shitty day but dude, there really are more deserving people who could use a job and who could do only the bare minimum and still do 100% better than any of the "services" you provided us tonight. read more

Epic fail guys! First time having had your pizza in 2 years and let me say it was bland as well as prepared wrong. Not to mention a large pie cost me 30$ wtf. Really regretting the 10$ tip I gave! Pull it together! I'm not some rich person from Danville! I expect actual quality! read more

The best pizza in Danville! They have huge portions for reasonable prices! Their salads are great and you can basically drink the ranch it's so good! The parking lot is horrible, it's right next to yogurt shack and their are only a couple spots include handicap. So your earlier going to have to park on the side of the street or in another lot! But I definitely recommend this place! read more

People usually don't think of dessert when they go to a pizza place, but this place has the best dessert! They're Nutella calzones are to die for. Make sure you get one next time you save room for dessert. Kelsey m. did a great job as our server. I definitely recommend her. read more

Primos is great, the glasses never get empty and the slices stay flowing. Not to mention Kelsey and Bijan are sure to keep you satisfied to say the least with their lovable banter. Oh and Steve keeps it real for sure. Thank you and God bless America. read more

Primo's what has happened?! I have been going here since I was a little girl. But now, the pizza is bland. The meatballs have zero taste. The spaghetti sauce is ok. The bread? Huh? Pizza dough in the form of a roll? But, I ordered a pizza! So, I got pizza crust with my pizza......o.k. Primo's isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Restaurants can make $ on drinks. But, as far as the food? Not so good, peeps. read more

More than 10 years of rat droppings, unsafe food handling, and pest issues and that's just the beginning. Enviromental Health restaurant inspections show more than a decade of unsafe food practices. Call the Walnut Creek office and get a copy. Just because they do a run for education doesn't mean they should be allowed to continue to operate without making the necessary upgrades to ensure the safety of families in the area. read more

I visited promos last evening. I have not been there in a couple years. I ordered pasta with meat sauce. Seriously I realized it might have a little meat? Cost for small portion was 12.95 . Small cereal bowl size of pasta with red sauce with zero flavor. 2 2inch bread pieces, no Parmesan!! Ok the beer was good. It going back. Making money by accident? Service kids were good. I will give 2 stars only! read more

A Danville institution! There are dozens of places that sell pizza, but there is only one Primo's - The food is delicious and the staff is superb. Drew has given so much to the Danville community and has never asked for anything in return. The staff always have smiles on their faces and a warm greeting for all who enter their doors. If you live in the Tri-Valley you need to order something from the wide variety of items from the menu. read more

Primos used to be our favorite pizza place but lately it's been below par. We have ordered a large cheese pizza about 3 times and tonight is no different. It's awful. It's dried out, lacks sauce, and was luke warm. We literally live 5 min away so it's not like the delivery driver had to drive out to San Ramon. For the price they charge I would rather eat a Tostinos frozen pizza or buy a take home pizza from Lunardis. read more

Well we were highly disapointed! For Danville, I really expected a lot more from this place. We had a discount card for BOGOF, so unfortunately buying a pizza didn't really make much sence, esp at those prices. I guess that was our first mistake. The waiter said we could sit where ever we wanted, so after trying to find a clean table, we sat down, and he took our drink order. About 10-15 mins later we finally got our drinks, and then our food showed up shortly after. I got the Philly Chicken sandwich which basically consisted of a gristly chicken breast on a buttered roll with a few uncooked green peppers and onions, and NO SAUCE, and fries which were pretty good. My husband order the Chili burger and waffle fries. His burger came on a separate plate open face, which he said was ok. The only 2 other tables of people were both eating pizza, which looking back now, we should have just done that instead. The waiter never even checked on us, in fact my husband had to go get napkins and ketchup himself. read more

Primo's has been a Danville institution. I admire how they are donating food now to first line responders at local hospitals and fire departments, and have organized food drives for all Danville restaurants to do the same. So impressive!!!!!!! read more

So my review covers a four month span, as I was unfortunately forced to eat at Primo's for several weeks after a SRV football game. Now I will start out by saying that I did eat here during the summer and thought the food had improved (not great but improved). However, for some reason it seems that everything that was good was now bad. The place itself is family friendly (really noisy, but friendly). The staff is nice and works hard, however, this is not enough to make up for the food which is simply awful. I will provide a breakdown. 1. One night after a game we go there and sit with another family. We were told off the bat that they were only making Pizza and a few apps. No problem we and that other family order nachos, ours with chicken and a plate of fried calamari. When it gets to out table it looks fine. But a look underneath and you discover that below a layer of whole chips are crumbs from the bottom of the bag (not sure why you would bring this out let alone charge full price). Our plate was the same, except we had the chicken, which was still frozen, and while it may have been fresh at some point it seemed more like Costco grilled chicken. The calamari, wasn't frozen but was clearly burnt. Again not sure why they choose to serve these dishes. 2. Next time we go we order a pizza, now I am told the the dough is handmade, maybe but it is clearly not well made. Our dough was under cooked, the sauce tasted canned, and the toppings were nothing special. In addition we ordered soft drinks, which were actually soda water with a bit of color, tasted more like dis water. 3. Another try, figured we have a salad hard to mess up, my daughter ordered gnocchi, I asked if it was homemade, told that it was. Dishes come, salad was wilted did not appear to be fresh. The gnocchi, was clearly not homemade; very gummy and clearly a frozen product. No problem with that just don't tell people it is home made. Again the drinks were watered down. 4. Another night, before we go my son tells us the team will be eating there, he asked me if I could bring him a hamburger, tells me the last time he ate there he did not feel good. We went but choose not to eat or drink. I passed over a couple of other visits as the results were the same, bad food. Again probably an OK place for a family who is not concerned about good food or people who go to drink and are not concerned what the food taste like. But if you are going for good food skip this place, certainly not wroth the money, and certainly not an Institution. Now while I understand that Danville is not known for great food, I can assure you that threre are better places to spend your money than at Primo's read more

Unfortunately terrible service and definitely not New York style pizza...ordered garlic breadsteaks just for the ranch( because they always forget) talked to the manager about the incomplete order and he was ok with that blamed it on the doordash driver said the doordash driver should have double checked the order on an item that should already have it. read more

We enjoy gathering at this pizza spot. Service is always GREAT! (esp Alexandra). They have happy hour until 6pm and it's family-friendly. The fried zucchini and cinnamon bites are delish!! Pepperoni pizza was a lil' greasy but still yummy! read more

A few weeks ago my In-Laws were in town for a visit. We are new to the Alamo area and decided to try Primo's. We ordered $75.00 worth of food and were not pleased at all. One of the pizzas must have been dropped as all of the toppings were on the side of the box. Both pizza crusts were not cooked well done as requested. We ordered two orders of onion rings and they were soggy. We called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager only to be told that he was too busy to take our call and would call us back. We didn't hear from him that night so called back the next day and were told the same thing. Needless to say, we have never had a phone call back. I would NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

Primo's pizza has improved greatly from a few years ago. It used to be overloaded with cheese and grease, but now it's a perfect combo of crust, cheese and toppings. My favorites are the thai chicken and the BBQ, both are excellent. They also have a good beer list, great toasted bread and fantastic fried zucchini. Also is a great place for kids! read more

This is THE place to go in Danville with the kids. The food is just OK. The have a meal deal where you get a large pizza, pasta and a salad for about $50 or $60 - and it will feed a pretty big group. It's a fun night out with the kids - but I wouldn't go here without kids. Parking can be tough at times. read more

This place is so lively and an all over friendly environment as a friend and family destination. The bartender, Spencer, is one of the nicest and friendliest people at this restaurant/bar! He is very attentive, he has a positive attitude and a welcoming smile. I prefer to come in during his shifts, so I know I will be receiving the upmost respect and efficient service. Thanks for always making my experience here amazing, Spencer. read more

Great place for pizza in Danville. We like to grab a few beers at the bar while wait for our pizza to take home. The staff is always friendly and pay close attention to when your running low on suds. Like most pizza joints, lots of out of control kids running throughout the place so watch out. We always seem to miss it but, looks like they have good happy hour deals. read more

Ordered online and pick up right on time. Great flavor, fast service and yummy! Will definitely be back. Had the thick crust with half pepperoni and half sausage and it was awesome!!! read more

Primos is a local institution but is living off its reputation. Service is lousy, pizza is average and atmosphere is poor. The place is dirty and the wait staff is lazy. If they didn't have such a great downtown location, it would have gone BK years ago. Avoid. read more

When I moved away from the SF bay area two years ago, this was one of the places I sorely missed. The pizza was as close to great NY style as I've ever had out here. A recent trip back created an opportunity to revisit this old favorite. What happened? The pizza crust was like a matzoh cracker and the cheese was burnt to a crisp. And the sauce... what sauce? I am hugely disappointed and I doubt I'll ever return. read more

It's a classic pizzeria! Great place to have a Friday pizza night. LOVE the pizzas here! Can't beat it with a stick!
