“So good i couldn’t even wait to take a picture of the full pizza! Look at the cheese. Very nice people work here, and I always have an experience, I’ve ordered on DoorDash and picked it up and it’s always the same great quality. I’ve recommended this spot to my mom and she loved it; and my mom is a picky lady when it comes to pizza. Definitely come here, they have more than just pizza“

“I will be there tonight for the comedy show. I grew up in Hayward since the 70s.“

“You know normally I'd see this and say, "Big deal...". It actually was pretty good from maybe 20 years ago or so I last tried this. The two guys working were very cool. I could tell doing a good job meant alot to them. Instead of a $2 tip I gave $2.25. Totally joking. Tip these workers kids!

Vegetarian options: Veterinarian options?.“

“definitely a top pizza in the bay“

“Very tasty and carefully seasoned. All dishes were perfection“

“the New England clam chowder was off the hook no longer do I have to drive all the way to San Francisco have a good piece of sourdough bread dipped in the delicious clam chowder thank you Great Impasta“

“Great service. Great food“

“Listen if you’re looking for a place that is packed full of flavor with none of that extra show frill. This is the place! Super quick and every meal is packed to the brim. I always end up with half the box for dinner later. The owners are super friendly and gave some suggestions to try over the basic Alfredo sauce. Very much a lunch staple or a I don’t want to cook on the way home grab type of meal.“

“We have been to Rosmarino a few times - found it by accident while looking for well rated Italian restaurants in the area (we recently moved to Danville). The food was excellent with several vegetarian options, the service is friendly, and they have a nice wine selection. They offer a monthly (I think) wine and food pairing where they highlight wines from a region or country. We asked and they were able to give us vegetarian options for each course. It was an excellent experience, and we got to meet some interesting people at our table.“

“Great for large groups and families.“

“This is the best place for eating in San Leandro and aokland, the team is super kind and super friendly. I like their pizza very much, it is halal , for family and clean . I recommended this place highly .“

“Been going to Porky's Pizza since the late 60's“

“Did you grow up on the East Coast getting your meat from an Italian deli? I did. And this brought me back. My hometown shop was called Rubino's. It smelled identical to Lucca's. Lucca's sourdough bread had me hooked every day I was here visiting. Impossible to stay away. Great meats and cheeses, and friendly staff too. Don't change Lucca's.“

“Wonderful dinner experience with wonderful friends“

“You guys are great. You have so many varieties of toppings that you can put on our pizzas. Thank you for such great service and such a happy attitude. You’re the best and I’m always pleased every time I get a pizza from you. And trust me, I’ve gotten lots of them“

“ok so at first i didnt know this place was even a thing but the pizza we order was very good and there was code on our coupon and we used and it said we could get a free 2 liters bottle soda but we used it to knock down the price and so when we went to go pick up the pizza and we told the worker about the coupon and ect and they told us since we used the code to knock down the price if we wanted the bottle soda we would have to pay 5 bucks for it so we decided to leave the place and we arent coming back to this place“

“Rigatoni’s has homemade Lasagna that is delicious. They have the Combo deal. For $20 you can have a smaller portion of your entree, a salad and a drink and all you can eat bread. You can pick from 3 different kinds of salads. The salad that has tomatoes and lettuce with croutons, or a Caesar’s salad or the mixed green salad which has dried cranberries, feta cheese and candied walnuts. The mixed green salad has become a favorite choice. There are additional food choices under the Combo deal. The atmosphere is nice and pleasant. It’s not noisy. The restaurant is nice and clean making the dining experience a pleasant one. You can also sign up with Toast Tab to earn points on your meals. Since the restaurant is inside a shopping center they have parking right in front of the restaurant. Sometimes if the parking in front of the restaurant is unavailable there is other parking spots close by to park your vehicle.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ristorante Il Porcino is a wonderful place for a fantastic Italian dining experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavors. The presentation was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Every part of the meal was enjoyable. I’d definitely come back again and highly recommend Ristorante Il Porcino!“

“Carlos was absolutely AMAZING! Our visit was on a VERY busy Friday night, and despite how busy it was, he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. We had a party of 6, so we were constantly needing something, but Carlos never forgot about us. Every time he passed our table, he checked in to see if we needed anything, and we never went without breadsticks!

He truly made our experience so much better. By far one of the best servers we’ve had! Carlos deserves a RAISE! 👏🏼 He’s a great example of what amazing customer service should look like. Thank you, Carlos, for making our night so enjoyable!“

“Ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza and it arrived in 36 minutes. Not bad, not great. But the wait was worth it in the end. The pizza is absolutely on point. I love the way the cheese is melted and the top layer of cheese is crispy, but not overly crispy. Tastes great and you can tell it’s hand made and very fresh. Will definitely order again.“

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!“

“This place never disappoints. The food is high quality, well-prepared, and full of flavor—The service is outstanding, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and customer experience. Highly recommended!“

“first time here - we loved it! excellent wine list“

“The three meals were delicious. However, I did order GF angel hair pasta with my meal, but a different type of pasta was used. I took a gluten pill before eating it, so I had no problem, but some people who are not helped with the special pill would have become terribly sick. My allergy to gluten is moderate, but two acquaintances of mine absolutely cannot tolerate any gluten. If GF angel hair was not available, then someone should have called me because risotto would have been fine.“

“Hands down, absolutely incredibly delicious!“

“Came here with my family and the food is absolutely amazing. Very authentic and amazing salsa. If the salsa is good you know the food Is good. The staff are very attentive and make sure your set while you enjoy your food. Best little family restaurant in the area!!“

“We came for our 30th anniversary while Strizzi's is celebrating it's 40th, so we got soup and salad gratis. Not just a cup or a small salad but full blown servings. My clam chowder was among the best I ever had. The food was great - we had the lasagna and spaghetti with (3 big) meatballs. Our server, Jawad, was among the friendliest ever, and took the time to chat and take our picture. A lot of servers do that, but he was just a wonderfully friendly guy. Get there and see if he will serve you before he gets through college! We had not heard of this place before and took a flyer. Big score!“

“Just had a GREAT experience at Melo’s today! We had a large group (24+) where we pre-ordered pizza and salads. They set us up in an area perfect for our group. Our food was set up on one table…buffet style…and we had plenty of tables to sit and eat. Highly recommend Melo’s pizza and pasta in Danville!“

“la mejor barbacoa excelente consomé muy rico“

“I’ve been eating Pizza Factory pizza for over 15 years. It was the only pizza joint in my town while growing up. Since moving to the Bay Area 10 years ago I’ve missed the classic taste of the pizza! Imagine my surprise when I got a craving for some za and saw that a PF was in the same city as me! It’s quick, cheap (for the bay), and delicious. Can’t go wrong with this spot.“

“The owners are always nice. Great pizza!! Just the way Round Table should be!“

“The place is great for a quick bite. I live across from it, I be playing around with the owner, while I wait on my pizza, getting on his nerves. He is good peeps, sometimes we just need a good laugh when things are boring at work 🤣. -Also, I still need my free salad, after I done ordered a thousand toppings pizza (I will not give up on this campaign). Anyways, you should try it’s pretty affordable.“

“Perfect birthday dinner thank you!!! Service excellent and food off the hook.. I’ve been trying to find a fish pizza forever and your Nrw Haven Clam with bacon was delicious!!!! And my birthday New York cheese cake omg!!! Thank you“

“World’s Best Pizza! Great place to grab a quick slice. Or order a whole pie with options of four crust styles, (New York, Sicilian, Grandma or Detroit). Then choose from over 25 different combinations of sauce & toppings! Pizza has never been better than this!“

“Seson para disfrutar Atención al cliente de calidad y súper limpios“

“Even though they only had 1 cook the food came out fast.“

“I have been a Bay Area native forever and let me just say find GOOD pizza is a task within itself . This place is a gem I must say the pizza is really really good. I always see people coming and going and it’s usually busy , I stopped by today and I had a Great experience! Not only the food but the service was 10/10 . I believe the person I spoke with today was the Area manager who was helping the team today and he was super nice great conversation and he was very confident in the food . He did not steer me wrong and I love that you can literally get it by the slice ! I got two slices and wings today the wings were solid ! It was a very welcoming friendly environment and I feel like that’s what we need . A few regulars were in the restaurant while I was eating and they were having great conversation about food with the staff . I definitely recommend this place to everyone especially for families“

“Alora Social in San Ramon is such a fun spot for a night out! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it perfect for date night, a celebration, or an evening with friends.

The food is excellent and beautifully presented. Definitely don’t skip the hummus platter—it’s fresh, creamy, and served with warm, fluffy bread and delicious accompaniments. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared.

The cocktails are another highlight. They have a great selection of creative, handcrafted drinks that pair perfectly with the food.

For an extra special experience, I highly recommend visiting on a Saturday evening when they have live belly dancing. It adds such a fun and energetic element to the night and really makes the experience memorable.

One tip: make a reservation, especially for Saturday nights and weekends. They can get very busy!

Great food, fantastic cocktails, welcoming service, and a lively atmosphere make Alora Social one of my favorite spots in San Ramon. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Delarosa at City Center Bishop Ranch has an incredible atmosphere: the sleek, modern design and lively energy make it a fantastic spot for a night out or casual drinks.

Atmosphere (5/5): Beautiful space, great outdoor patio, and a fun, vibrant vibe.

Service (5/5): The staff was phenomenal—attentive, super friendly, and made us feel genuinely taken care of.

Food (4/5): Solid Roman-style pizzas and Italian dishes. Everything tasted good and fresh, even if a couple of items were a bit standard.
Definitely worth coming back for the stellar service and energetic setting!“
