“First time visiting Super Duper Burgers —
Smooth and intuitive experience. The kiosk made ordering easy. For a fast causal restaurant I was surprised my burger was cooked medium. Which is how I order them — when I can. Using the kiosk system — you can choose your burger’s cook temp—medium is the default, but you can opt for well-done if you ask. That’s rare in fast casual.

So, with that being said. The burger was legit. For a fast casual spot, the quality held up. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked medium as promised.

They are known for their Shakes & Ice Cream:
Didn’t try them this round, but the flavor lineup was tempting. Definitely will when I return for a visit.

The only drawback was the garlic fries—Overloaded with garlic, which made them soggy fast. Didn’t finish. Next time I order regular fries.

Overall— solid burgers, clean establishment, and friendly staff.“

“OMG, what a wonderful experience. Sam was really good behind the counter, and helped us to some amazing vegan options, such as the Vegan Sub with Meatballs marinara, and another Vegan Philly Steak Sub. Both just wow amazing with high quality vegan organic products (like the organic salad greens from Costco) and vegan meat and cheese from the Butchers Son. Absolutely wonderful!“

“I came here to take a couple of onigiris to-go on to my plane ride the next day. I got the salmon ume and the tarako. You order from the screen as soon as you get in, and the options they have is quite impressive. I stuck to some typical flavors and was really happy with the salmon ume one. I usually get mentaiko, which is a spicy tarako, and the tarako seemed like it was cooked and not raw? I wouldn't recommend the tarako if you're expecting it to be like mentaiko. However, it was really good and even though I ate it the next morning, it was still really delicious. I'd come back for sure and would recommend this place.“

“A year ago I gave Aldo’s Pizza three stars. The food was fine, the effort was there, but the kitchen felt like it was holding back. Something was missing in the fundamentals. This time they got it right. Not by changing who they are, but by finally cooking with the confidence the craft requires.

The dough is the first sign of growth. Last year it tasted rushed. This time the crust has structure and character. You can feel the cold fermentation in the crumb: a gentle tang, open pockets, a chew that resists just enough before giving way. Someone in that kitchen now understands gluten development instead of fighting it. The underside has that even, mottled browning you only get when heat and hydration are in agreement.

The sauce is no longer timid. It has body now. You can taste the tomatoes rather than the memory of tomatoes. The salt is dialed in. The acidity is honest. Someone finally let the ingredients speak instead of burying them.

The cheese behaves properly. It pulls without drowning the slice and it browns in the right places. That means improved moisture control and a hotter deck. These are not small adjustments. They show intention. They show someone is paying attention to the science of pizza rather than just the motions.

The toppings are handled with discipline. Sausage tastes like it was cooked, rested, and added with judgment, not dumped on the way some places do when they forget that distribution matters. Vegetables hold their texture instead of collapsing. Pepperoni curls at the edges, which means someone understood how to use the oven’s heat gradient instead of fighting it.

Even the slices reheat well, which is the real test. Pizza that survives a second life is pizza that was built correctly.

Service is straightforward and human. They recognize returning customers. They listen. They move with the quiet urgency of people who want the food to reach you before it loses its edge.

This place has improved because they started respecting the craft. The kitchen feels tighter. The pies feel deliberate. Nothing tastes accidental anymore.

Five stars because they earned it. Not with flash, but with corrected technique, better ingredients, and the kind of steady work that turns an ordinary neighborhood shop into a place worth seeking out.“

“I deliver custom cabinets in Silicon Valley from Bend Oregon and when I’m in North Bay I always eat here. Always fabulous food for me and my German Shorthair Pointer. Room to park for my huge delivery van. I have never got anything bad for last 6 yrs it’s always been great“

“IMO better than other fast food burgers 🍔“
