Red Apple Kitchen is an instant favorite! Red Apple Kitchen has officially become one of our go‑to spots. Their ingredients are so fresh you can taste the care in every bite. We're vegetarian with a nightshade allergy, so finding a place that feels both safe and delicious is rare -- but their Forager dish is perfect exactly as is. No substitutions, no stress, just flavorful, thoughtful food. And the vibes? Immaculate. We absolutely love the old‑school Nintendo throwback setup -- it keeps us entertained while we wait and adds this nostalgic, playful energy you don't get anywhere else. It's such a cute touch and makes the whole experience feel personal. And the drinks? Listen. Their Dad's brand cream soda and root beer in the bottle hit every single time. Crisp, smooth, and the perfect pairing with the food. Fresh ingredients, allergy‑friendly options, fun atmosphere, and drinks that hit every time. Red Apple Kitchen is a gem and we'll keep coming back. read more

My 1st visit to Red Apple Kitchen for a casual birthday get together w/a family of 6. The restaurant looks like it can seat about 25. There is a kiosk for ordering so you can easily order without looking up at the board if you have limited visibility. It was pretty much a 1 man show & he handled everything beautifully. Orders: Chicken Wings for appetizer w/a side of salad. This was a well seasoned appetizer but my piece had a bit too much salt. Other than that the chicken had a crispy coat of seasoning with a side of ranch dressing. Pizza's Mama's Favorite Pizza-arugula, spinach, white sauce w/added maple bacon was undeniably fresh. The 1st bite was tell tale of how thoughtfully curated the chef was. The ingredients so fresh, it's like having your personal chef in your own kitchen. Garlic Chicken Pizza-creamy white sauce with bite size chicken that you can see & taste. The garlic added that beautiful aromatic aurora that made it just as delightful as the Mama's Favorite Pizza. The owner, chef, waiter & clerk was so friendly, & welcoming that visiting Red Apple Kitchen was like being invited to a friend's home. read more

I almost want to gate keep how good this place is, but I want more people to come by and support a local business! Love their big city combo! Their dough is cooked to perfection! It's so soft and has this amazing almost sour dough like flavor. All the toppings taste so fresh and feels very welcoming every time I come in to pick up a pizza! read more

We have come here twice over the last few weeks and have really enjoyed their unique menu and pizzas. The first time we came here we ordered a large pizza that was half pepperoni and half garlic chicken. We also ordered a side of Mac and cheese. The next time we came, we ordered the mango habanero chicken wings, a strawberry salad, garlic cheese bread, and a small pepperoni pizza. Everything was fresh and delicious. The pizza had a moist interior yet crispy crust. And the wings had good flavor, very tender but crispy. It was nice the wings came with fries topped with cheese. The salad had very sweet strawberries too. The owner is very kind and works very hard managing his restaurant. I've only seen him the times we've visited and he makes time to chat with his customers. He seems very passionate about the food he makes, and it shows in his food. He changes his menu every so often so it would be smart to double-check is website's menu, which might be different than the menus posted on Yelp. We actually were using Yelp for the menu but when we called his menu was different and he was kind to walk us through the different items he was offering and no longer offering. Would definitely recommend this place for its wide variety of food - pizza, Mac and cheese, wings, salads, hot dogs, chicken wings, etc. read more

Friend and I enjoyed catching up at Red Apple Kitchen this afternoon over pizza outside! Restaurant a bit hidden so we most likely wouldn't have heard of it if not for Yelp. We shared a 10 inch build your own half veggie and half pepperoni. Very tasty and not expensive at all. So easy to order on the kiosk. Some of the tables outside were dirty but they were cleaned quickly when I told the person working at the counter. He was so nice and quick to take care of our needs. The pizza was brought out quickly! Though my friend didn't bring her dogs this time, we liked that outdoor seating is available. We don't come to San Leandro often but would come back if in the area. read more

I'm updating my review from 5 stars to 1 star. It seems there's been a change in ownership, and the service quality has plummeted. The staff is unprofessional and unreliable. My wife's pickup order was delayed by over an hour past the scheduled time, and they refused to issue her a refund. Despite her repeated attempts to cancel in person and through the app, the staff kept lying to the third-party app, claiming the food was ready when it clearly wasn't. Only one staff member was working, appeared to be under the influence, and random people seemed to be hanging out in the back room that didn't appear to be staff. The food quality was equally appalling (see pictures). Needless to say, I won't be returning. Update - I received a refund finally through the app but won't be coming here again. read more

Was this place in San Leandro this whole time?! We ordered the red apple pizza, the roasted Brussels sprouts, the cheesy garlic bread and the sausage farfelle online for pick up. When we arrived, my husband went inside to pick up the order. When he came out, he said that the guy who helped him inside was very friendly and hilarious. Now, the food. Damn- delicious. Especially the Red Apple Pizza. I wish we ordered a large instead of just a small lol. I've always loved a good cream sauce pizza. The salty bacon with the sweet caramelized onion & apple shavings tasted amazing together. With the generous amount of arugula on top, you can even tell yourself that it's healthy (that's what I did anyway)! Will definitely order again (probably soon) and highly recommended! read more

Absolutely nothing bad to say about my first time at Red Apple Kitchen. I ordered for pick up and the pizza came out at a reasonable time. The service was friendly and and I liked the simple decor of the place. I received a very nice mango habañero sauce to accompany the pizza. The pizza was so good, I ate half of it by myself. The toppings were flavorful and the dough crispy but with a nice chew. I will be coming back read more

Pizzas are great!! Excellent customer service and atmosphere . Happy this stayed a pizza spot!

This spot recently switched owners. The new owner is very nice. The menu prices for pizza, salad, wings, and appetizers is the most affordable I've seen in a while. My group came in 10 minutes before closing and the owner still took our order. The mango habanero wings were really good. It came with a house made sauce. The coleslaw was light on mayo so I recommend trying it if you're not a big mayo person. Next time I come I will try the salad, Mac n cheese, a different wing, and another pizza. We chatted with the owner/ chef for a while. Super nice guy. Can't wait to see what he puts on the seasonal menu read more

Great spot to pick up a tasty pizza and quick . Process was so easy, call the order, start driving and pizza all ready after 10 mins car ride. Just picked up a large combo and chicken pizza and upon request from toddler for dinner. All 3 of us are very satisfied. My picky eater toddler even ate 2 slices (usually barely finished 1). Only thing i need to remember is to ask for smaller slices pizza cuts (half of how they cut it) read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND AWESOME PIZZA! It's one of the BEST pizzas I've ever had! It was so fresh and delicious! You can tell that the quality of the ingredients is great & they take pride in their food. And their PRICES are REASONABLE, too! They have other things there, too, that we'd like to try: wings, hoagie hot dogs, salads & other sides. But we decided to get a build your own pizza (to go), a LARGE with salami, mushrooms & roasted garlic. It was VERY large and only $25! It was AMAZING! Nice & not too thick with hot, dripping cheese like NY pizza. This will be our go-to pizza spot from now on, and it's nearly 10 minutes out of our way. We passed a couple of other pizza places just to go to the Red Apple Kitchen. All this and they deliver too?! I don't give 5 stars very often, but this place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! (Oh, and a shout out to Jay, who was very friendly & amazing in all ways.) read more

My wife loves the Momma's Favorite Pizza so she sent me back here for the second time. Today I ended up chatting with Chef Jay and the quick exchange revealed a couple things to me. He cares about his food quality. He was asking if I had eaten the pizza with the arugula in the box or on the side. He was concerned that keeping the arugula on top of the pizza was making it soggy by the time it got home. He also just seemed like a genuinely cool person. He had a big smile and brought the food outside where I was waiting instead of calling me in. It just seemed like he wanted to connect with his customers. It was a downtime so I'm sure he can't do that all the time but I appreciate his cheerful attitude. He also took the time to introduce himself and get my name. But no worries if you don't remember me next time since I was wearing a mask! Just a good experience all around. I'll definitely be back next time! read more

Delicious dough! Great costumer service. Never fails me. We have ordered just the dough for kids pizza night, where we help out kids make the pizza and it has been very delicious. read more

I wanted to give this place a try due to the raving reviews and pictures. I ordered multiple pizzas and they were all very dry and burnt. You can't really taste much but the burnt dough. I want to give this place another try but it's hard given the quality of the pizza that we just had. During pick up I didn't notice anyone inside the restaurant dining in. With that being said, it was a disappointing experience to see the lack of quality in the food. read more

Ordered take out from here for the first time and wasn't super impressed. We got the Red Apple pizza, Brussels sprouts, and mango habanero wings. Pizza crust was DELISH and I would go back just to try a different pizza, but the red apple toppings were a miss. Apples were huge slices with the skin still on, wish they were thinner slices and peeled. Overcooked dry onions. No bacon, instead it was covered in giant slices of ham that were hard to eat. Also no dressed mix on top! Seems like they forgot what pizza they were making?? Wings were fatty and skin was thick and undercooked. Wish they were crispier. Sauce was good and VERY spicy. Brussels were undercooked and flavorless with mushy onions and peppers. Wish they were crispy and didn't include the extra veg. We will probably return to try another pizza, and hopefully get the right toppings?? I know they are under new management so maybe they'll figure some of this out along the way. read more

I don't know what happened but in order for a business to succeed and survive consistency is imperative. I ordered the garlic bread and grilled Brussels sprouts but the food was no way near as good as it was the first time. "Garlic bread" was obviously those frozen bread sticks with congealed cheese on top at an attempt to make it look good. They were also burnt on the bottom. The Brussels sprouts were burnt and hard, very unappetizing. I actually had to throw these items out as they weren't even edible. I really hope they step up their game and make a better effort. This is not showing the original owner any justice. read more

I'm really pizza picky. Tried so many and never really happy, even with high end. Finally! A locally-owned pizza place with really good pizza.

Service needs to be improved. I placed an order for my daughter's birthday to be delivered the next day. I called to make sure this would be OK, the restaurant said to place the order online. The day of the party NO PIZZA has arrived, I keep checking and for some reason the restaurant is now all of a sudden closed today. All the poor kids were let down. read more

Dang. I forgot pics. I really hope this place stays around. Post-covid there's a lot of local go-to's that have closed. This place has a pretty casual ambiance. Mainly for take out--though there's tables and counter seating if you opt to dine-in. Spoke to the owner and realized we had gotten the closing time wrong after everything. (I know, we're the worst kinda people). He was SUPER kind in serving us and letting us stay to eat. Learned this place had just opened up in the past year! One of my family members spotted this place the day before and suggested we try. I got the Cali-dog, buffalo wings and chimichurri wings. Calidog was a good ol bacon wrapped glizzy with jalapeños n such. Buffalo wings had great flavor. Love me some chimichurri on anything. As a bonus they had a pretty good hot sauce selection. Love me some Cholula and Tabasco, but there were a couple I've never tired before that I'm gonna look to buy for home. Looking forward to the chili dog and mama's pizza next time! read more

Usually my favorite pizza joint in San Leandro. I always recommend to friends and family but a bit disappointed as today's pizza came drenched and super soggy. It was so bad the sauce leaked through the box and when trying to carry the pizza box it is flimsy. You truly couldn't break apart the slices. Had to turn on my over and reheat it hoping for it to be more crispy. read more
