Straw Hat Pizza — Restaurant in Hayward

On a long Friday evening drive after work I needed to get some food and I am so glad that I chose this place! Coming from Sacramento I wanted to get some pizza and snacks to take out.

The host was incredibly nice and there was an enclosed room where folks were having a party. With many tv screen there back area had an area for kids and arcade that did not take away from watching the game.

I ordered potatoes wedges, lemon garlic chicken wings and Cajun wings. Alongside that a king size garlicky chicken and my family was floored when I took it to them in San Mateo!

The beer selection was incredible and house local Sacramento crafts brew which are tried true and tested by myself; I guzzled a fresh new glory ipa on tap while I waited and in no time before finishing the beer my food was ready.

Incredible part: the pizza was better and cheaper than anything majorly expensive like round table with better sauces used, fresh garlic and savory taste that blew any pizza joint out of the water! The chicken wings were perfect done, )no freezer burn taste like other places) freshly made and the lemon garlic was aroma carried such a gourmet scent that it was crazy that the taste was mind boggling! They have used the freshest ingredients and even the next day heated up the pizza wings and everything was still like fresh!

This is no joke; this place is gourmet to the max just in a straw hat sign and I cannot believe it (.) Wish we in Sacramento had such a reasonably priced pizza that tasted so good.

These owners really love what they do and you could see from the crowd and food, events and love they put into it to care for all ages and customers.

Will be back again and again...

Very very very bad attitude,,"dillon". The chinese next door was packed during lunch i thought to give the business to this pizza place which was literally empty. The place is clean and cool for looks but the employees have very very bad attitude. Guy named Dillon took my order. I mean the guy looked like he didn't like me at all from the second he made eye contact with me or was acting like a female having craps on her period. Skinny guy half my age half my size, i mean ,"son i don't need you to smile at me but least you could do is talk in as gentleman "man not like a pissed off old lady. Went to the rest room there was no paper towels in there, came out with wet hands and told him they out of paper towels in the restroom, he gave a "whatever expression on his face". Brought my pizza out, sort of tossed it on the counter. Man, you need an attitude adjustment, dillon. I came with a good heart to give them business, but they were acting like they giving me charity or something like that. I don't think they have heart for giving a friendly service let alone charity.lol. even when i give charity i give it with a smile but when i treat my customers, i treat them with at most dignity and respect plus smile and a vote of thanks because they put money in my pocket. Its called being appreciative. I don't think they appreciate the customers or there money. And the pizza was not all that good either. Don't...

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...
