“ BJ the owner is very nice. The pizza is awesome. We have had the garlic chicken and the 11 toppings. Both are very good. The pizza crust is soft and warm but crispy on the bottom. Service is usually pretty quick. Definitely a great pizza and happy to support a local business. ”
“ I’ve been going here for 15 years - was and still is my favorite pizza place. We drive from Dublin to get this pizza because it is just that good. Prize is decent and BJ (owner) is also incredibly friendly! ”
“ Best pizza place in town! I love the family culture as well. They make the pizza like they're going to eat it themselves! ”
“ We had a big game and I knew we would be home too late to order any food. I called ahead and explained to the owner what the situation was and he ensured he could make our delivery the last of the night. When we got home our pizzas were waiting for us. He had even went out of his way top stack them on top of some nearby storage bins and placed a small plant on top so they would be undisturbed and the lid would stay closed. They care about their customers! ”
“ Classic CV pizza place. BJ is the man. Great pizza, good price, friendly staff. Doesn't take long if you walk in and order, depending on day and time you show up. Good dough, nice flavorful sauce. I'm a sucker for the classic so it's usually pepperoni for me. Need to try other things after all these years! ”
“ The pizza is great, and the service is impeccable. The owner is very friendly, and always has a smile on his face. There’s no better pizza in Castro Valley, and they have some big sizes for large groups. Giving the atmosphere three stars since you don’t dine in, but don’t let that stop you. ”
“ Pizza express NEVER fails! They have great pizza, chicken, salads and service. Boss Man (BJ) is the man. They have the best crust and they are beyond the best for the price. You won't be disappointed. There are 2 locations in CV...but even if you call the wrong one, they connect you to the other location. They deliver everywhere. BEST pizza in town. ”
