“I Took a chance to call from parking lot to order lol However, Jason was glad to place my order with pleasant and eager customer service. The Lady with pretty nails rang me up and was wonderful as well! I ordered Creamy Already Fettuccine with Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes. It was amazingly delicious at the first bit and came with slice of garlic bread. If You're a Pasta Lover, I highly recommend!“

“I’m always telling my friends about A-Town Pizza in Union City because it’s just that good! Every time I go, I know I’m getting fresh, hot, and delicious pizza. The crust is the perfect balance of crispy and soft, and they don’t skimp on the toppings. Whether you’re into classic pepperoni or something fully loaded, you really can’t go wrong.

But what really makes this place special is the owner, Green. He’s super down-to-earth and one of the kindest people you’ll meet. He genuinely cares about his customers, and you can tell he puts a lot of love into the food. It’s that kind of place where you feel like family, not just another customer.

On top of the great pizza, their wings and garlic bread are solid too. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is always on point.

If you haven’t been to A-Town Pizza, you’re seriously missing out. Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

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

“This is my go to restaurant Italian food for the past 24 years“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Todo delicioso y preparado al instante me fascino!!!“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. The lasagne is my favorite.“

“Great service. Great food“

“Great for large groups and families.“

“We’ve been here several times and we love this place and will definitely come back again. Foods are absolutely delicious, they also offer unlimited refill, price are reasonable, too. There’s a lot of seats here, chill atmosphere, and nice friendly staffs.“

“Great food, fast and consistent customer service and the atmosphere was very chill. From the front door to our waitress everyone was very polite and professional. It's obviously not top notch Italian food. But it's always flavorful and consistent. The bread is always warm and the salad was nice and crisp. The Alfredo and chicken hit the spot and the drinks kept flowing. Love this location.“

“The food at Che Fico Parco was innovative and delicious. Our waiter was knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. Heads-up: don't believe the prices on the menu; they automatically tack on 5% to your bill so that they can pay their employees. Which, of course, is complete B.S. Really -- just charge more for your dishes (it is not like this is a price-sensitive crowd on the border of Atherton and Menlo Park) and pay them what you need to.“

“They have really great service super fast delivery and if you eat here often or not they are predictable and each dish we have tried from the rigatone bolognese to the house spaghetti to the spicy chicken is fantastic. The experience is above average time and time again by ourselves (me and my daughter) or with friends (we have brought about 6 different people who have shared our enthusiasm) this restaurant is a absolutely fantastic experience. I wanna go tomorrow just thinking of it now. Highly recommend sopping by as it is one of Castro Valleys nicest little places.“

“From the outside, this restaurant looks small and fairly modest, but the moment you walk in it feels like stepping into a different world. The interior is cozy and thoughtfully decorated with charming details that make you feel like you’re dining in a historic restaurant in a small Italian town.

The highlight of my visit was the Branzino. It was absolutely fantastic—perfectly cooked, moist, and tender. The fish is quite large, but the flavor is so good that you never get tired of it. The pasta served with it pairs beautifully with the dish.

The calamari and wine recommended by our server were also excellent. Our server initially seemed a bit serious, but turned out to be very friendly and funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. Definitely a place worth visiting!“

“very good service, fast and delicious.“

“great food, great prices, great service. relaxed atmosphere. Been going there for as few years now & never had a bad meal.“

“I always feel so welcome at Strizzi’s, thanks especially to Jessica, Jessa, Brenda and Evelyn. They greet me warmly every time I come in, take my order quickly, and the food arrives before I even know it and it’s always fresh, always delicious. I almost always go with something simple, like spaghetti marinara, and I swear it’s the best I’ve had anywhere. More than anything, what keeps me coming back are those amazing servers: they’re the sweetest, most genuine people you could hope to meet. Their kindness and care make the whole experience feel personal, and that turns a meal into something special. I can’t recommend Strizzi’s highly enough.“

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

“My favorite Italian sandwich place in the East Bay. They get busy at times, but it’s worth it. The food is good and they are consistent. Parking is easy on the side streets, but very limited in the front. There is a lot in the back too if needed.“

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

“Great place for a nice dinner with your love. Patio & service is excellent 🎉“

“Ordered the chicken and garlic pizza for delivery. The pizza arrived quickly, it was hot, with flavorful, fresh ingredients, absolutely delicious. Probably the best pizza that l have had in the area. Would definitely order from Pizza Express again.“

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

“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!!“

“My husband and I were craving pizza. However, the places here in Castro Valley have been disappointing recently. We decided to give Villa Roma a try and see how we liked it. We loved it! We ordered a custom pizza and garden salad. Both were delicious. The garden salad was fresh, flavorful, and filled with a scrumptious variety of vegetables. We will be going back soon.“

“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“

“Mi fermo spesso da Cafe Borrone per un caffè e una brioche, ma non riesco a trovare il locale nell’app Coverflex: accettate i buoni pasto?“

“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!“

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

“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?.“

“The New York style was extremely good, I could finish half a cheese by myself. The Detroit style was more iffy, I mean I loved the crust but the cheese slid off like nothing. The meatballs are absolutely beautiful, honestly some of the best I’ve ever had“

“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“

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

“definitely a top pizza in the bay“
