    SIC Traditional

    I brought my guests from New York to visit this place because I had told them how good it was and was really excited for them to try it. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We came around 8:30 PM, so I completely understand that the staff may have been tired toward the end of the night. However, the customer service was still very unpleasant. There were no smiles, no welcoming attitude, and overall, the staff just seemed like they didn't want to be there. We ordered some of the to-go slices that were already on display and specifically asked for them to be heated. When we got the pizzas back, they were still cold. I brought the slices back and let the worker know they were still cold. He responded that they were cold because the oven was off. I asked, "So does that mean we can't heat them up?" and he said, "I mean, I can, but it's going to take a few minutes." My response was basically, "Okay... that's what I asked you to do in the first place." It was frustrating because this could have easily been avoided with better communication and customer service. This is now the second time I've come here at night, and unfortunately, the experience with the evening crew has been consistently unpleasant. I really wanted my guests to have the same great experience I've had here before, but instead, I left feeling embarrassed that I had recommended the place so highly. Really disappointing.

    This is by far the worst Slice House location I've been to. It's so unorganized, the employees seem like they're clueless and have no idea what's going on, the wait times are super long, etc. I came last night for dinner with my wife and son and we witnessed many people complaining. It was a bad experience for sure. As I was ordering, the employee on the register was slow and had such a dull expression on his face. He looked confused every time I ordered different slices. Our slices took almost 30 mins to come out. I wanted ranch so I went back to order the bigger ranch portion ($3.75) and the two employees looked confused and didn't know what to say... they later told me they only had the small size because they had ran out of the bigger portion. He could've told me from the get-go and they should've known their back stock if they had more or not so they're not confused. So I paid $3 for two super small sizes of ranch. Then when I went to grab some to-go boxes, and one of the employees was getting confused about the sizes and which lid went with what, etc. I'm not sure what's happening but they all acted drunk lol. As we're eating, I can see customers complaining about how long their order was taking and a few missed orders. They even missed on instructions; this customer wanted his pizza 'for here' but instead they boxed his slices.. they're not listening clearly. We had a poor experience here and I don't want to come back. I'll be at the Mountain View location.

    Slice House offers so many flavor combinations on different types of crusts, options for grandma, detroit, sicilian, and new york style, sold by the slice or whole pies. Visited on a Thursday and ended up getting slices of the traditional and chicken bacon ranch. The traditional had a thick crust that was light and airy with a nice buttery crunch, and charred pepperoni on top along with savory italian sausage. The chicken bacon ranch was better than expected, ample melted cheese, creamy sauce, and crispy pieces of bacon with a saltiness to it I really enjoyed. Plus the worker gave me a fresh slice from a new pie instead of one that had been sitting in the display case for a while, which I appreciated. It's the little things like this that make me wanna return, even with limited offerings in the display case. In fact, all of the staff here were really sweet. Made for an awesome experience overall.

    Finally got to try this place out. Love that they have specials each day with different slices. I got the Hawaiian and another one without meat I forgot the name. The Hawaiian one was good very thick crust I wish there was more meat but overall the taste was good. Also got their spumoni ice cream and that's was delicious and they give you a lot too! Also got a ceasar salad to break up the flavor of things. Would come again to try their wings as well as other flavor pizza they offer! Customer service was nice they have stables but not a lot, pretty small space but decent for a pizza spot. Parking isn't that good since it shares with to trader Joe and Starbucks but you'll eventually find a spot.

    Cal Italia
    Andrew T.

    There is a parking outside of the restaurant and nearby all around but it can get busy. The staff can be more friendly and welcoming. The service was decent. There's some seating inside but not too much. I appreciate how they warm the pizza for you for the slices displayed in the front. I got the cal italia and the purple potato which were both unique. The slices were big and filling. I felt the pizzas could have used more sauce and tasted dry. The crust was decent. It just tasted like cheesy bread with toppings. I expected a lot more for its price. I liked the cream of the canolli and it is on the sweeter side.

    They should rename it to specialty slice of the day

    Solid pizza especially for the area. While the area does have some good casual pizza spots, it highly lacks in NY... Detroit and generally east coast pizza. I've had pizza in NY and this was def pretty good. I think it was a lil harder and not as airy as warm as I would like but generally it was good. I liked the Detroit style better but that's me. For the flavors I tried the purple potato and the Hawaiian hit man. The purple was solid but nothing to write home about. However the Hawaiian hit man goodness gracious! So I actually came in expecting the purple potato to be a game changer but it was the Hawaiian. The sweet marinara paired so well with the pizza and it was so different from other marinara that I've had. The pineapple was also so different maybe cause it was fresh instead of canned chunks. It was honestly one of the best Hawaiian pizzas I've ever had. I'd highly recommend. Each slice was about 7 bux but they are big slices so about 1-2 and you are done lol. In one sitting I ate about 1 n a half. Overall, will def be back to try their other offerings and really wanna try the original location someday.

    Meatballs

    Ordered a couple of pizzas for pick up on a Wednesday night. We got a Detroit style Motorhead and the take out special of an xl half cheese half pepperoni pizza that came with 3 meatballs and 2 chocolate chip cookies. It was our first time having Slice House. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable of the different menu items. We also got some cannolis which were great. The kids loved the rainbow sprinkle cannolis. The Motorhead was great. I really enjoyed the texture of the pizza and the thickness was perfect. The slices of the xl pizza were huge! We definitely had to cut those up to eat. The only thing I would say is that I wish there was more space to sit and dine in. Loved their takeout specials and the pizza flavors. We will definitely be back to try other pizzas! Thanks Slice House!

    Went to this location since the Fremont spot was not yet opened. Great service. Loved the pizza. But limited seating indoor and out as well. I would definitely recommend the pizzas to try out.

    Slice House is such a cute little spot, and the fact that it's connected to the Turing apartments makes it super convenient. The slices are huge! Honestly, one slice can easily feel like two. They also have a deal of the day, which is a nice bonus. I can't remember exactly which slice I had, but it was really good...lots of meat, very hearty, definitely Americano style. They also offer Detroit-style pizza if you want something thicker and more pan-style. We also ordered the meatballs, and they were absolutely delicious. I might have enjoyed the meatballs even more than the pizza. They also have fountain drinks with free refills, which was nice. Overall, it was a really great little outing, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

    Tony Jack slice

    Pretty good spot for pizza! We stopped by on a weeknight looking for a quick slice and this place hit the spot. Respect the CRAFT indeed! I respect it! There's a huge variety of pre-selected topping combinations to choose from. I got a slice of the New York style Tony Jack. The slice looks big but the crust is very thin, so it's more like a snack. That crust had an artisanal-bread like chew, so be prepared for a jaw workout! The ingredients all tasted high-quality - that creamy white ranch drizzle on top really complemented the salted smoked bacon pieces and freshness of the green onion. A little tickle of sweetness from the honey capped it all off nicely! Overall, I'd come back to try the other pizza flavors when I'm in the area.

    We were excited to try this place due to the location, but were disappointed. We ordered a "medium" size pizza, which was around $26, but the pizza ended up being a personal size! The pizza itself was good with a crunchy crust. Okay cheese and sauce, but the prices are just unreasonable. I feel like the size was falsely represented.

    Slice of wiseguy
    Jenny Y.

    Great place to get some good pizza! All the pizzas looked good in the display. I got a slice of the wiseguy and would definitely get it again. All the toppings went so well together - I liked that they add green onions to it. Crust is slightly charred, crispy exterior with a chewy interior. The slice is huge! It's pretty much the size of two "regular" pizza slices. Very clean inside. There are two TVs, so it's great to have entertainment while dining in. I appreciate that they place empty pizza boxes on the counter, so it's convenient to grab and pack leftovers. Worker was welcoming and friendly; checked in on all tables to make sure everything was good. Same plaza as Trader Joe's (great to grab a meal before or after a grocery run). Parking shouldn't be a problem, but I can imagine the outside parking gets busy and full during weekends.

    Menu needs to be more concise. This is just eyesore to look at from a quick glance.
    Tom S.

    It's the only thin slice to ever exacerbate my TMJ. They use a lot of cornmeal so the dough is a bit tougher. The pizzas look amazing but because they're thin and they also heat them up in a conveyor belt oven after ordering, which makes them become very well done and too crunchy. You know those parmesan crisp snacks they sell in stores? That's what my NYC Big Papa slice tasted like. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to like this place. Their Detroit style pizzas are also way too thin. Also their menu is an eyesore. Way too much information to be looking at from a quick glance. It also ruins the first impression customer experience when first stopping by here. I'd like to come back but I would love if they reevaluated their recipe here at this location first.

I had it in Japan and it changed my understanding of how delicious food could be. I'll always dream about a particular pasta dish I had near Kyoto Station...but I digress. If you've never had Japanese pasta, it's sort of difficult to describe. Think of Italian pasta, but if the sauce were less thick and there were a greater variety of flavors and textures. I think it's an overall cleaner and more varied experience. I prefer it. When done well, it has a certain quality that keeps you addicted. You can keep eating it and savoring every bite without feeling weighed down. I just love it. La Casa Mia does it well. In fact, out of every restaurant I've tried that attempts Japanese pasta, this place comes the closest by far. It might even match it. During my most recent visit, I tried the uni (sea urchin) pasta. Amazing. But the standout menu item, everyone, is the Salmon Shimeji. Oh, I love it so much. So savory. Little chunks of salmon, with roe, dainty little mushrooms, and all kinds of other ingredients perfectly cooked blended. A sauce that warms your soul and makes you want to keep eating. I honestly wish I could describe it better, but ironically, my favorite dish in the entire Bay Area is so good that I can't describe it. You'll just have to try it yourself. If they ever take the Salmon Shimeji off the menu, I will probably literally cry. I need this. When things in life get rough, I go for this dish. I have not found anything in the U.S. that matches it. Oh, and the service was fantastic. The lady who helped us most recently was very attentive, thanked us profusely, and was unfailingly polite. Gosh, I felt so taken care of. Yeah. La Casa Mia. My actual favorite restaurant. Love it.

There aren't many businesses in this complex so there's always plenty of parking. I inside of the restaurant was small but had plenty of tables. It was a slow day on that weekday early dinner time. We asked to order our items for take out. We waited not too long as I remember. How was the food? Fried Calamari- for only being a couple minutes away I wonder why the calamari was already almost cold when we ate it. It was pretty disappointing. Maybe they just had it in the box while they waited for the rest of our order. I don't know. Flavor was good. Pizza Primavera - It was good, I was okay with it. The pizza dough wasn't my favorite but it was fine. White Pasta - I honestly don't remember what the name was but it was an item my bf ordered. This was terrible. Like there was too much roux to make the bechamel. It tasted of flour. Not much salt, not much of other flavors. Not enough milk and cheese and butter. He took a bite and put it down. Overall, glad we tried it but we might not be coming back. With the economy now, it's disappointing when the food is terrible for how much we pay for.

Came here on a weekday for dinner and it was mostly empty. We got the chicken parm and the margherita pizza. With the margherita pizza, the dough was obviously bought premade and frozen. It was dry and hard as expected from a premade frozen pizza dough. Not sure if the whole thing was bought frozen. There was generous amounts of cheese with one sad basil leaf of each quarter. One positive thing I can add about the pizza is that the cheese does have a satisfying flavor, giving me a nostalgic flashback to school lunch pizza. As for the pasta, the chicken has a strange taste (maybe too strong on a vodka marinade?). There was way too much sauce for the amount of pasta, and it had a very light and bright flavor, not terrible but definitely lacking depth and any nuances of aromatics or herbs. The chicken was not breaded and instead grilled. Servers were attentive, but seemed to have a lot of staff mostly standing around.

We ordered two Pollo Saltimbocca dishes (one with a cream pasta substitution for an additional $8), the Pollo al Limone, and a half bottle of Chardonnay. The restaurant offers one indoor dining area and two outdoor seating areas--one in the front and one in the back--which gives guests plenty of seating options. The food was a bit saltier than our personal preference. The cream pasta substitution, despite the extra charge, wasn't anything particularly memorable compared to similar dishes we've had at other restaurants. However, the highlight of our visit was definitely the warm and welcoming customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel appreciated. We also appreciate that the restaurant closes for a few hours in the afternoon before reopening for dinner service. It's nice to see a business that gives its staff a break during the day. Parking can be a bit challenging due to the busy neighborhood. Be aware that street parking is paid, and most spots have a two-hour limit, so you'll need to keep an eye on the time. Overall, we'd come back to try more of the pasta dishes on the menu and hope to discover a new favorite.

On our previous visit, I ordered a glass of wine and the waitress poured it and then took the decanter away half full.

The restaurant itself also has a nice atmosphere and feels versatile enough for a pre-event dinner, date night, or business meal. The food and drinks themselves weren't anything extraordinary, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. The Hot Honey Calabrese was definitely the highlight. The combination of hot honey and spicy salame gives the pizza a great kick without being overwhelming. I also appreciated that the crust held up well. You can actually pick up a slice rather than needing a knife and fork. The Rigatoni alla Vodka paired surprisingly well with the pizza. The creamy vodka sauce was great alongside the spicier flavors of the Calabrese, and we even ended up dipping some of the pizza crust into the extra sauce. I would have liked a little more bacon throughout the pasta, but it's clearly not intended to be a meat-heavy dish. Overall, the two entrees worked really well together for sharing. The biggest issue was the service, which ultimately knocked my rating down. Our food arrived before either of our cocktails. When we mentioned to the person dropping off our food that we were still waiting for our drinks, the response was, "More room for tiramisu." Having worked in restaurants before, that rubbed me the wrong way. Rather than making a joke about dessert, I would have expected someone to check on drinks that should have arrived before the entrees. Fortunately, they showed up shortly afterward. Tobias Take: Outside of our poor service experience this visit, Il Fornaio is a solid mid-range option before an event at Levi's Stadium. The location, atmosphere, and shareable Italian menu make it equally suitable for a date night or business meal.

I love mochi, so I was really curious how it would work on a pizza. It actually worked surprisingly well. The chewy mochi added a unique layer of texture to the crispy crust and paired nicely with the other toppings. We also had a variety of pastas, both seafood and meat. The portions-especially the seafood and pork cutlet-were generous, and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness in the meat sauce. The blueberry yogurt drink was beautifully presented. The little heart-shaped container held syrup that you can pour over the ice to turn it into flavored shaved ice, which was a fun touch. The matcha parfait was also tasty and a great way to end the meal.

The servers are very attentive and the wait time for the food is barely 10 minutes. Very efficient. The meals are great, the baguettes came with refilled. The whipped butter is light and creamy. I kept wonder if a drizzle of honey could amplified the taste. Pizza and pasta are obviously very taste and chewy. The restaurant is very nice and cozy as well, a mixtures of Japanese and Italian cuisines. It's a cutesy and vibrant, perfect for date. Overall, I think it's a wonderful experience and meals. Very unique concept!

I flew from out of town for a private family event with 80+ people, and I thought the place was cute and humble at first glance. Hold on... Who was the random old man in the room? And why is he walking around our event with a creepy look in his eyes and disrespecting my family with his unsolicited comments? Thats the owner. There are other comments that talk about him. Be warned. Zahir does not have a grasp on people skills and the tone of his voice switches from soft old man to grumpy old man without warning. He sat at a desk during the event with a judging side eye while my family filled in for a crew he did not adequately coordinate with. Made no sense that my family became the workers at their own event, and the venue lacked communication on how this event should flow. I did not finish my food, but it got the job done. Satiated at best. I preferred the appetizers that my family brought. The space is very humble and intimate and has a nice outdoor area that offered a break when my family needed a breather. The place is an older building so ventilation did struggle. However, Zahir locked a side door and told the guests that he would kick them out if they were seen using that exit. Fun fact, that side door was originally the planned enter/exit for this event. Parking lot is small but theres street parking available. A small Indian food truck took a portion of the parking lot and I would rather eat there instead of this place. Save yourself a trip. Book somewhere else.

We had kids with us and they managed to move things around for us to be comfortable. Thank you very much for the amazing service and laughs! The appetizers we ordered were pretty good -- bruschetta (fam favorite), burrata + prosciutto, beef carpaccio, and calamari (a little tough). I really enjoyed my spicy rigatoni! That was so good and creamy and just the perfect kick of spice. Everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs -- Milan fettuccine, Linguine Vongole, Beef lasagna, and spaghetti bolognese. Unfortunately the risotto was not the best, it was a bit overcooked and tasted more like salty rice than creamy risotto. Overall it was a great dinner and service! Hope to be back soon!

Once you walk in the room is very spacious and it's beautiful to see the chandeliers and the wall of wines, and nicely decorated inside. The servers were attentive and service was great. Here's what we ordered for our party of 4: Appetizers: Calamari Fritti $22 (4/5) Nice and crunchy pieces of calamari (not overly fried), green beans, artichoke hearts. This I enjoyed a lot, and it came with 2 dipping sauces. Caprese $16 (4/5) Cant go wrong with some nice mozzarella, yummy fresh tomatoes and balsamic glazed. About 4 pieces of each. Beet Salad $16 (4/5) Super refreshing beets, orange pieces, and really goooooood goat cheese chunks all went well together Garlic Bread $8 (4/5) They give you free bread too so if you don't want basic bread (which was still really good) with their olive oil/balsamic get this. The bread was slightly crunchy, and had a nice garlic cheesy topping Entrees: Spaghetti Carbonara $25 (2/5) If you know me, you know I love a good carbonara. I don't know what happened to this dish, but it was so so dry. There wasn't much sauce, so it was hard to eat. I am misled because their menu says (CREAMY RICH SAUCE). I think they forgot to make it like that. Chicken Parmesan $35 (2/5) The chicken parm was ok, it had a nice cheese top and marina sauce. But the pasta it went with was terrible too. NO FLAVOR! Spaghetti Bolognese $24 (4/5) This was the only pasta from the 3 that was acceptable. It had a lot of sauce, meat, flavor and the noodle wasn't under or overcooked. We had a bottle of Kali Hart Chardonnay 2024 and went well with our dishes. They also gave me a complimentary ice-cream to end my night. Overall, I would love to come back to try other dishes but was so disappointed on my pastas.
