Slice House is a great place to reward yourself for braving Trader Joe's on the weekend. While my cousins and I were there enjoying some cannoli (they fill them to order so the shell is crisp!) and getting some slices to go, I heard the staff patiently showing forbearance to a customer who wanted to argue about the way Detroit style pizza should be made. The manager spoke kindly. and still gave him exceptional service. Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and the pizza is as you expect from Tony G's place. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - This is the person, who needs to be replaced. - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

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. read more

It's good to see this Slice House location has finally opened! The parking was always bad in this tiny residential retail area. Now it will be even more insane. The inside of this place is small, so it holds about 25 people. One unisex restroom. I like the different styles of pizzas from New York, Detroit, Silicilian, etc and the carefully thought up ingredients! Support your local business. read more

Parking is okay, shares a lot with other establishments, but came with a friend for a late lunch on a week day (around 2pm) plenty of seating, but also kind of a small spot! Also some outdoor seating is available. The staff is friendly, quick, and attentive! We tried 4 different slices which were around $7 each. Pretty good size for the price! They ask if we want it cut into two pieces and they also heat it up if you're dining in! We got the burrata queen - thicker dough and slightly sweet with pesto and burrata. The wiseguy - this one had green onions, Italian sausage, Tony's pepper hot oil, ricotta, and pepperoni! I really like that they have green onions as a topping; the Italian sausage had a slight kick and everything paired well with the ricotta (just wish it had a bit more ricotta). The Drunken Italian - the tomato sauce is really good on this also thicker dough! I can't remember the last one my friend ordered but it had onions, peppers, pepperoni and some other toppings (maybe it was the combo?) either way it was very good also! Def would be coming back to try the hot honey next read more

If the pizza slice isn't bigger than a face, I don't want it! Slice House Milpitas is opened a small shop with quick service, across from the Great Mall (next to Trader Joe's and Starbucks). This spot is part of the Slice House family by Tony Gemignani, a 13-time World Pizza Champion and the genius behind SF's iconic Tony's Pizza Napoletana. They serve four pizza styles: New York, Detroit, Grandma, and Sicilian and my personal favorite is the traditional NY style pepperoni pizza, with its crispy bottom, rich tomato sauce and pepperoni cups. What I got: Sweet Gino - mozzarella and sweet sauce Burrata Queen - ricotta and pesto (also a fav; if you love cheese, get this!) Wise Guy - NY style pizza with sweet and spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, ricotta cheese, and a drizzle of hot pepper oil. True Italian - location special only found at Milpitas, topped with fresh sliced tomatoes If you love pizza done right, this is your new go-to in the South Bay. Each pie is a little pricey but worth the dollar! read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

I love pizza and I am very picky when it comes to finding a good pizza place. For me, it always comes down to three things: the crust, the sauce, and the quality of the cheese, and Slice House has all of that covered. I really like that they offer different crust options, and the ingredients tasted fresh and well put together. The pizza had great flavor without feeling heavy or greasy. The location is convenient and easy to get to, which is a plus. That said, the table setup could use some improvement and it is not the most comfortable if you plan to sit and eat. Overall, solid pizza and definitely a place I would come back to when I am craving a good slice. read more

We had the Detroit style pizza. Very flavorful, meaty, with crisp cheesy crusted edges, perfectly baked throughout.

I'd been hearing great things about Slice House from other parts of the Bay Area, and I finally got the chance to check out their Great Mall Parkway location, worth every bit of the hype! I tried the Purple Potato Pizza (Wednesday's pizza of the day), and it was incredible. Every topping shone through, from the savory cheese to the perfectly balanced sauce. The purple potato added a unique twist that complemented the flavors beautifully, and the crust was texturally spot-on, crispy yet tender. I also ordered another pizza. whose name escapes me, but it immediately reminded me of a similar gem I discovered wandering the streets of New York. I will absolutely be back to try more of their pizzas! Service was another highlight. I walked in 15 minutes before closing, and instead of a tired or rushed vibe, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant has plenty of seating in a warm, inviting atmosphere, plus ample parking shared with nearby businesses. Slice House is a must-visit for pizza lovers! read more

Not great, but not terrible either. I've definitely had worse. I ordered the True Italian and Tomato Pie, while my husband tried the Wiseguy and Sweet Gino. None of the pizzas really stood out. The crust tasted like it had been baked multiple times, leaving it flat and heavy on bread, with very little sauce or cheesy gooeyness. After a while, all the chewing actually made my mouth sore. On the plus side, the slices are huge, so you do get a lot for the price. Seating is very limited - just four spots total consisting of three small tables lined up side by side. When the place gets busy, it feels cramped and you end up scooting over to make room for others. Parking isn't easy either, since the shop is tucked underneath an apartment complex alongside Trader Joe's and Starbucks. One last note: the Yelp listing is misleading. It shows the location near Great Mall, but the restaurant is actually on the opposite side. read more

Tony's Slice House in Milpitas is new, and while it is really good and probably my favorite pizza spot in Milpitas, it did not quite live up to the other Tony's locations I have been to. Keep in mind we did eat it fresh but maybe I am used to ordering it by the slice rather than the entire pizza. The crust did not taste the same for some reason and did not feel as thin as usual. That said, the pizza is still very good. I love the small pepperoni cups and the melty cheese, and the white sauce pizzas with chicken and bacon are always a win. I would definitely come back. read more

Was so excited to give Slice House a try, but I'm quite bummed with our experience. We spent about $70 to try 6 different pizzas- a variety of both their Detroit style and NY slices, from the daily specials to the basic pepp and sad to say, we didn't really enjoy any of it. The pizzas came out super quick, which could seem like a plus, but they weren't very toasted and the pizzas were pretty cold. We also ordered the Caesar salad, which was OK, but nothing remarkable (nice presentation though). Even when reheating the leftover pizzas at home, it was just not good. Overall, the staff were friendly and the seating area was fairly clean. However, the space is quite small and seating is very close to the entry door. I likely won't be back, but maybe go check it out yourself and order just a slice to try! read more

So I've gone twice and will go again. Pretty pricey but a fun fusion experience. I had the dino and the chicken sandwhich.

Takeout review! - solid 4 stars I'm a sucker for HUGE pizzas, Slice House serves generous pies! We ordered the BBQ CHICKEN and the WISE GUY New York Style pizzas. I can appreciate a quality dough, nicely thinned out and crisp but could I wish they could hold up all of the delicious toppings. I know some people hate pineapple on pizza- I am not one to hate, and I think that the BBQ pizza toppings paired well their pineapple. I need more sauce haha Loove ricotta on pizza! Paired with sausage, pepperoni and Tony's hot pepper oil was magic! read more

This location is so convenient, next to a Trader Joe's. I have been to the original Tony's in SF, and so far their franchise Slice House locations in Mountain View and Walnut Creek has been getting it right. I have even downloaded their app to check in for points (bonus: you get a free slice for your birthday!) The good: They always have different types of crust, and specials of the day. Lots of variety, plus they have pasta (I have not tried their pasta yet, always crave for their pizzas) The bad: this location has impacted parking. Because it's next door to Starbucks, and close to TJ's, not to mention there's still space for another retailer or restaurant as well. Parking can be hard to come by during lunch & dinner rush. read more

I finally made the trip to Tony Gemignani's Slice House in Milpitas, and it was absolutely worth the 30-mile drive. Tony is world-famous for his pizza and has built an incredible reputation through his restaurants, and after eating here, I can see why. Like many people, I first heard about Slice House through Barstool Sports' One Bite reviews. The pizza lived up to the hype. I tried the classic cheese slice, and it was outstanding--crispy crust, great flavor, and perfectly balanced. Simple pizza done right. The restaurant itself is brand new, very clean, and has a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly, the management was on point, and the overall energy inside was excellent. You can tell they take pride in what they do. This place is a must-try for any pizza lover. The only downside is the parking. I was able to find a spot without any issues during lunch, but I can imagine parking getting pretty tight during the evening rush. Overall, Slice House is one of the best pizza spots I've been to, and I'll definitely be back. If you're anywhere near Milpitas, do yourself a favor and check it out. That said, the cheese slice alone was so good I'd make the 30-mile drive again just for lunch. read more

Tony Gemignani, a 13-time World Pizza Champion, has opened a Slice House location in Milpitas! It's right next to Trader Joe's across from Great Mall. This place is a order at the cashier, then wait for your number to be called type of joint. It has 4 styles of pizzas to choose from (New York, Detroit, Sicilian, and Grandma) and offers a variety of salad, appetizers, and pasta dishes. Oh, and you can't forget the meatballs! Everything is made from scratch here and the taste proves it! It was actually my first time trying Slice House, and I am officially a fan! What we ordered: * Slice NY Pepperoni * Slice NY Picante * Slice SIC Burrata Queen * Slice DET Tony Jack * Bacon Arugula Salad * Meatballs * Bucatini with Meat Sauce The place is semi small, so if you can't grab a table, you are better off grabbing your food to go and eat in your car lol or outside real quick. read more

This Slice House just opened and has already become my husband's and my go-to spot for pizza. The location is really convenient since it's next to both Starbucks and Trader Joe's and makes it the perfect stop for lunch or dinner after grabbing groceries or a coffee. With that being said, parking can sometimes be challenging since it shares a parking lot with other busy spots. We think the pizza is delicious. They offer both Detroit-style slices and classic slices that can be heated when you order. You can also order whole pies if you want more than a slice. I really like the different toppings and flavor combinations and that they have so many. I also really like that they feature a different slice of the day each day of the week so you can try a lot of their pizzas depending on when you go. My favorite so far has been the Wise Guy, but honestly everything we've tried has been great (and my husband and I have been here quite a few times already since it's been open). We've also had the meatballs appetizer and the gemelli pasta with vodka sauce which were both also good. The quality of service has been consistently high each time we go despite how popular this place is already. Food also comes out pretty quickly and someone is always checking in on us if we're seen waiting to make sure our order is being taken care of. Seating is available but a bit limited, so keep that in mind during peak hours. read more

We ordered online for take out on a Sunday evening. It took 30 min for the pizza to be ready. Parking can be tight and crazy, even with the parking lot and parking garage. The actual place is quite small with a very tables inside. We're a fan of Detroit pizza and decided to try Wiseguy. The ricotta was really good on this pizza and my husband enjoyed the tomato sauce. We're not sure about the green onions so I would probably request not to have it next time. The pizza had a nice, crispy edges that we like for a Detroit style pizza. There's a lot of options to try from the menu so we'll be back to try something new. And will definitely order ahead to save on time. read more

My go to spot for Detroit-style and NY-style pizzas. Service is always friendly, they go over and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. The pizzas are SO. GOOD. Perfectly crispy on the outside, flavorful and chewy on the inside. Their daily special flavors are so yummy and affordable to get one slice each of, and try different flavors (although the slices are huge so I'm usually full after one, it's still yummy when reheated at home!) We used to go all the way to Mountain View for Slice House, so we were elated to see one open up in Milpitas. 10/10 would recommend! read more

It must have been an off day, but this was the absolute worst pizza I've ever had. To be fair, the restaurant was extremely busy, and it was clear that many of the employees weren't fully trained yet, but wow--I've never had hard pizza before. It was almost inedible. I might try it again in the future, and I really hope the quality of their food improves. We also ordered garlic bread, which didn't come out with our pizza, so we had to check on it a couple of times. The second time we checked with the front, they just gave us something that had been sitting in the back. I don't even think it was garlic bread... it just tasted like plain bread. :( read more

The line was short but the store was still crowded with no seats. We got two NY style slices (forgot the names) and one Detroit style Motorhead. The NY style slices and thin and crispy crusts and the toppings were generous and delicious. Our favorite was the Detroit style motorhead though. The crust was thicker but the toppings were thicker too. The tomato sauce was really refreshing and paired well with the salami and sausages. Parking can be tricky during peak hours in that plaza.

This is a great grab and go spot for gourmet pizzas with a variety of options and high quality ingredients at a reasonable price. You can dine in or take out slices or whole pizzas, but I've taken my orders online. It's fast and simple to pick up. I've brought their pizzas to several group events and it's always a hit. I've tried the Super Gold Margherita, Motorhead, Wise Guy, Picante and all are tasty - I can't choose a favorite! The slices are always thin and crispy and that's exactly how I like my pizza. Pro tip- ask to get your pizza double sliced if you're sharing because the slices are huge. I do wish they had better options to customize your own pizza and the ability to order by slice online, but otherwise it's a great spot that's conveniently located next to Trader Joe's. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - XL motorhead, medium picante - Pizza Near Me - Milpitas, California

I don't write reviews like this lightly. I've been a loyal customer of Tony's Pizza Napoletana for over a decade, visiting the original location at least three times a month. It has set a standard for what great pizza should be--balanced, intentional, and worth going out of your way for. So I walked into Slice House by Tony Gemignani with genuine excitement. I wanted it to be great. I expected it to carry the DNA of the original. It doesn't. I ordered the Grandma slice and the Margherita--two staples that should immediately reflect the integrity of the brand. The Grandma pizza was deeply disappointing. The top was watery, lacking cohesion, and the bread itself was unusually thin. Traditionally, this style carries a thicker, airy structure with a soft interior and a light crisp on the outside. This was the opposite--flat, overly crisp, and missing the substance that defines a proper Grandma slice. The Margherita was even more concerning. It had no lift, no air, no life. It was extremely thin and aggressively crunchy, with none of the softness or balance you'd expect. The mozzarella wasn't even fully melted, which is inexcusable for a pizza that was boxed right in front of me. I had ordered 15 minutes ahead, and yet it felt like something that had been sitting or pre-assembled rather than made with care. The dough, across both, had a processed quality--closer to something frozen than freshly crafted. That's not something I ever thought I'd say about anything associated with this name. I say this as someone who actively seeks out the best pizza in the country. I've traveled across the U.S.--from New York to Chicago to Seattle--specifically to experience top-tier pizza. I care about this category, and I don't throw around criticism casually. I also say this as a business owner. I run multiple companies, manage large teams, and understand firsthand how difficult it is to scale a brand while maintaining quality. It's one of the hardest things to do. But that's exactly why this is so disappointing. Because this isn't just a slight miss--it's a disconnect. When you attach a name that has reached the top of its craft, there's an obligation to protect it. What's happening at this location doesn't uphold that standard. If anything, it undermines it. There are simply too many better options in San Jose to justify coming here. If you're expecting anything close to the original experience in San Francisco, you won't find it. And if you value great pizza, this is not where you should spend your time. read more
