Straw hat Pizza is what it is. And I go there for lunch after I do my morning errands every Wednesday. I enjoy the pizza and the person who helps me is a very nice good person. So I keep coming back.

Should NOT be a 4.2. More like a 4.9 or even a 5.0 — and I mean that.
I stopped by this spot in Hayward off Industrial, and let me tell you — this place is a hidden gem. The pizza is fire. Like, not just good, but better than most places with higher ratings. The flavors are on point, crust is perfect, and they don’t skimp on the toppings. You can tell they actually care about the food they’re putting out.
The staff? Super friendly and welcoming. You walk in and feel like they’re genuinely happy to serve you. And the owner? Cool as hell. Respectful, personable, and you can tell he puts pride into his business.
Even the bathroom was clean. That right there says a lot. They’re taking care of their customers and their space. So honestly, I don’t get the 4.2 rating. Makes no sense. This spot deserves way more recognition. People sleeping on it.
I’d give it a 5.0 without hesitation. Real ones know.

chicken bacon ranch is my favorite pizza here. Me and my family have been coming here since little kids. I love this place and love the service. The owner treats us like family always.

I don’t understand why this place has a high star rating. It’s some of the worst pizza I’ve ever had. The dough was severely undercooked so were the toppings. The flavors are extremely bland, I couldn’t eat more than two bites. Do not recommend at all.

Mexicali Pizza tonight was fire! Sonia is an accommodating professional, down to earth business owner who really knows what shes doing! Taps in abundance and laughs through out. I highly suggest coming in for an amazing South Hayward experience. My favorite restaurant hands down.

Came in with a large group and ordered 4 large pizzas right away, noticed the sign that you can get a $1 pint with any medium or large pizza after already having ordered the pizzas. Asked the staff if we could get the 4 beers with our pizzas we literally just bought and they refused. They even got a manager who also refused. Beware potential visitors, here the customer comes last.
Response to owners response : yeah, you offered us a single pint for $1 total, not $1 off… rather than 4 $1 pints for the 4 pizzas we ordered... your response is misleading because the Michelob $1 pint deal is clearly separate from happy hour as shown in the picture, so happy hour being over is irrelevant, and you had the ability to just charge us $1 for each beer. It just felt ridiculous that you would offer to give us 1 pint for the same deal but wouldn’t do 4, meaning you were capable of comping us the price regardless of the ticket being closed, but refused solely for a meager profit. At that point it’s more insulting than just refusing to honor the deal entirely. We ordered the pizzas and within 2 minutes of paying noticed the sign and asked for the deal. It’s not good practice to nickel and dime people like that, enjoy the $10 you made on those beers, we’re not coming back…

Poor customer service, staff was rude. Ordered 4 large pizzas then saw the sign for $1 pints with the purchase of a large or medium pizza. Manager would not give us the deal because we already paid and they refused to refund us.

Food was okay but poorly managed. I went there today with my son. It took over 30 mins to get the pizza. Asked and the explanation was there’s a party going on. Come on, if you didn’t have the capacity to serve other customers for the party, you should just close the door to make it exclusive to the party. Front desk waiter also seemed to be inexperienced. Couldn’t understand what I said and had to ask her boss for everything. I asked for one order of chicken wings and she put two. Won’t come again.
