Villa Roma Pizza

Great Slice Selection!…read more I've noticed them popping up all over the Bay Area with even more locations opening, so I finally had to give them a try for the first time. Looking at photos online beforehand, I expected the space to be a bit larger, but it's actually on the cozier side inside. It wasn't packed, but definitely wasn't empty either--there was a steady stream of takeout and DoorDash orders flying out the door. We originally planned on ordering a whole pie to share, but once we saw their slice case, we completely changed our minds. Their pizza by the slice variety is extensive, so ordering a few different slices to sample was definitely the way to go! Everything was fantastic, and it's a great spot to try a little bit of everything.

I used to go to The Slice House when I was living in Southern California, so this time I decided to…read moreorder from this location through DoorDash. We ordered two 12-inch medium pizzas--the Pepperoni and the Burrata Queen--along with the Detroit Hot Honey, and cheese garlic bread. Everything arrived fresh and warm, and it was just as delicious as I remembered from my SoCal days. I'm so happy I found this location, and I'll definitely be ordering from here again!

The pizza was fresh, the crust had good texture, and the flavors were consistent with what you'd expect reliable and familiar. The pasta was also well portioned and tasted good, not overdone or overly heavy. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy, and the order was accurate, which I always appreciate. It's a dependable spot when you want something quick but still satisfying. Overall, a good, straightforward experience nothing over the top, but exactly what you want from a casual restaurant meal.

Then pick up the day of the party. I feel like the pizzas are okay. They are a bit overpriced in my opinion. The last time was in May when I tried to pre-ordered 2 XL special pizzas to pick up at 11-11:15 am the next morning. The gentleman wasn't very friendly when I asked to pick up as early as possible. He ended up quoting me around $140 for 2 pizzas. I asked how much is each pizza because the price I saw on the website was way less than what he said. He got irritated and said:" we have to pay for someone to come early to prepare your order, so there's extra fees." Why didn't you tell me in advance that there will be extra fees if I want to pick up 15 minutes after they open so we don't have to waste each other's time? No thank you! Won't be ordering from this place in the future for morning party.

As a bonus, parking is easy, and the restaurant is rarely crowded, making pickup quick and hassle-free. We'll definitely be back!

Located in a really cool marketplace but with it's own entrance and little corner space, there are 4 sets for 4+ seaters and some 2 seaters. I would have LOVED to sit outdoors but there was only 1 umbrella. Bummer! My pizza was delicious. And the extra bonus was that they had a small mixed greens salad to balance all the protein on my slice. What made this marketplace even better was the plentiful amounts of parking available for free in the back. It made me think of San Mateo. Love a little "Peninsula coolness" in the east bay.

I've been going to Villa Roma for about 8 years now and it has been a hit or a miss. My first issue with them is their inconsistency with their pizza as it can be great one day and horrible the next. The last two times that we ordered from there my wife and I found that the pizza's just didn't taste right. After tasting each topping we found it was the olives. Something just isn't right with them and whomever is making the pizza's is just throwing them on there with the juice from the can they came from, making the entire pizza taste like a fowl briny bitter taste. My second issue which has put the nail in the coffin for us, is they are constantly trying to over charge you. This has been the issue from the beginning but since they were one of the only choices for pizza in Castro Valley we dealt with it. What I've seen is they will charge an astronomical amount of tax and when you question them on it, they just say oh it's tax. Last night I called them out on it as I was being charged almost 25% tax instead of the 9.25% for Alameda County. I asked the cashier how she came up with the total and she tried to explain it to me at which point I stopped her and said you are charging me approx 25%. She apologized and made the correction but had a attitude with me as if I did something wrong. I've also noticed in the past that their take out menu prices vary from the prices on their wall. My wife heard the owner tell a customer this when she picked up our pizzas before. So, all in all I don't feel like they deserve my business anymore because of their inconsistent product and shady business practices. read more

Best Pizza I have ever tasted. This has to be one of the best Pizza places in all of the Bay Area. I highly recommend this place, the pizza is always fresh, never kept hot, always made on the spot. Pizza is as good as it gets if you eat here, always delivered on time, even if you order large quantity. I once ordered 22 different kinds of Pizza for a big party, and all of the came on time, not a second late. All of the Pizzas were hot and absolutely delicious.
