This was my first time eating from Lefty's, I ordered a cheese pizza with mushrooms and Italian sausage. My pizza was delivered within 30 minutes and it was hot!! The pizza was great, the sauce was good and the crust was perfect. The only downside was, as you can see from the picture, it was missing the sausage. I didn't call and complain, it was a 1.50 add on and everything else was great. I'll definitely eat here again.

Kind of bummed to watch the owner make a salad without a mask on. I mean, his neck gaitor (that he had pulled down around his neck) isn't really a mask anyways but at least it would be better to try and look the part.

wings are gross. they have this consistency randomly throughout the wing that is mysterious - which is never good for meat. is it breading? is it fat? kinda spongy...whatever it is it's not meat...pizza is okay. so if you are looking for just "okay" pizza this is your spot. it kinda reminds me of costco pizza, except way more expensive. don't get me wrong, i love cheap costco pizza... but not at this price.

Garlic knots and awesome east coast style pizza. They do this right!

Lefty's red sauce has left the building! I hate to write a review like this, but Lefty's has disappointed us twice in a row. This time they added the sting of insult to our injury. Now, one reason I don't like typical South Bay pizza, like Round Table, is their extreme stinginess with the tomato sauce. A mere paint layer is typical. That's why Lefty's was a revelation: actual sauce! on a pizza!We put them in our COVID takeout rotation and settled on their 1912 specialty pizza, whose description reads, "Lefty's red sauce, shredded mozzarella, green peppers," etc., etc.But the last time we ordered, there was no discernible red sauce. When my wife went to call Lefty's last night, I asked her to tell them about the lack of tomato sauce the last time, and ask for more. My wife made that NNNN sound with her soft palate that means, "Well, I don't know," but complied. She hates to have to remind people what they're supposed to do anyway. The lady on the phone was sympathetic and said she would let them know.Well, last night I had to use the Scanning Electron Microscope to find the tomato sauce. There was perhaps a teaspoon spread in a circle near the crust. That was the insult. If you have to remind them, and they still blow you off, that's kinda the end of it.Now, I understand that too much sauce makes the crust soggy. But their sauceless crust is STILL soggy. And I'm fine with sogginess, but not with stinginess. I just eat the slice with a knife and fork. They could always seal the crust with a little olive oil if they worried about it.Anyway, the other toppings are good quality and tasty. I just miss the sauce. Lefty, please come back!

This review is for the cannoli.I have to say that I am a little confused?The ingredients were all very fresh.I was very surprised however that the filling was not sweetened @ all...not even a little sweet.if I hadn't opted for the chocolate chips on the ends it would have been a completely savory dessert.Also,they don't use traditional ricotta cheese for the filling (I think it maybe marscapone? ) ricotta has more flavor in my opinion .Not sure if the unsweetened filing was a mistake or if this is their recipe? I have had a lot of different variations of cannoli in my day,but I can assure you unsweetened filling has never been one of them.

Found this little gem during COVID shelter in place. Trolling the web for a place nearby to pick up lunch and go share a meal with a friend. Happened they weren't open for lunch, but decided to try it out for Sunday dinner. Had a hankering for a pizza. It was a tough choice though, as those sandwiches called out to me as well. Decided on a Canadian Bacon/Pineapple Calzone. I'm not a garlic person, but thought it was worth trying out the buttery garlic addition. I'm hooked. Generous amount of filling and the garlic, while I could smell it, wasn't overpowering. I figured in for a penny, in for a pound, so ordered the Naughty Knots. Nice little kick and again not an inordinate amount of garlic. I will definitely be back, with friends!

Not great. The margarita pizza was really not that good but maybe it's just really different than what I'm used to.

Calzone is my favorite here. The pizza is really good as well. The garden salad is pretty basic but fresh & yummy. I have an issue with the meat balls tho. A month ago I had them & they were great! Texture, flavor, cheeses SO GOOD! I ordered them yesterday & the texture was off. WHY? Not sure if they add a grain or not but I need to find out if these meatballs are keto friendly or else I won't be able to eat here anymore. Also, not only was the texture off but the meatballs were way too salty. Hopefully Igor an off meatball day. I'll give these meatballs a 3rd chance & check on the keto question next time. However, I will always come on a cheat day to get a calzone.

Honestly hate to give this place a negative review. I live close and love the pizza and calzones. But the pricing here is now ridiculous. To-go order of a 19 inch pizza with 3 toppings (and a calzone is over $60. The main reason, they charge full topping price for each topping, even if you get a half and half pizza. 19-inch is $24 plus $3.50 per topping. If you get mushroom, onion and pepperoni on one half and olives, sausage and peppers on the other half, they charge you for SIX toppings. Now I've ordered a lot of pizzas at a lot of places in my life, but I've never seen that. $24 for the cheese pizza plus $21 for toppings. GOOD LAWD! Keep your order real simple or just go somewhere else. (It's not a mistake either, I went over it with them in person, in detail.) That's how they charge, no excuses given.

Great food and good beer selection

Best Happy Hour in downtown Campbell!!! They have excellent food and service. The owner Stephen is a true gem straight out of Boston. We had the hummus, caprese salad, buffalo wings and meatball sandwich on garlic knots all for $5 each, huge potions, we had to take some to go. The meatball sandwich was so good, it's a family recipe and you can tell. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu, looking forward to trying the pizza. 100% recommend this place!!!

I was pretty excited to try a new pizza joint, but honestly, it was just OK. Pizza is so subjective that I hesitate to be critical, but it just wasn't for me. Worth a try.

Plenty of parking and lots of social distancing/COVID-19 seating outside. We had a 12 inch pizza with ham and mushrooms. There definitely could've been more of the toppings. The thin crust was very good and the edges perfectly crispy. We also had an order of the meatballs. The two meatballs were a nice size with melted mozzarella and marinara sauce on top, and then some shaved Parmesan cheese on top of that. Great presentation. However the meatballs were barely warm in the middle. We will come back and give them another try.

Been here half a dozen times so far, always enjoyed dining in when you could. Got two mediums to go. Pepperoni for the kids, all meat for something other than pepperoni. lol Both were good, if I had to complain, the crust on the pepperoni was super thin, not like any I've had in the past. My daughter commented that you could see light through it. IMO, not the best constructed pizza of the two. Would still recommend and will go back again.
