The Pizza Box — Restaurant in Milpitas

it's not the dragon lady's pizza, but i would still eat here for lunch.

this restaurant has resisted inflation. the prices haven't changed in the 5 years since they changed ownership. or maybe their prices were already anticipating inflation and the rest of the world finally caught up.

a $7 jumbo cheese slice from the pizza box is actually a pretty strong value proposition now. there's an $8 daily deal that looks good, though it limits your options to the specialty slice of the day. their full pizza prices are about in line with other non-franchise and non-warehouse pizza places.

the sauce is more robust than i remember, though they use a bit too much of it and you have to watch out for topping slide.

the pizza is now edge-to-edge with barely any crust. the dough is less airy and more like a flatbread, almost like the bakers are pressing the dough flat and removing bubbles. it's not how i like pizza but i could see certain people preferring this style.

there are some tables and stools but it looks like they are doing away with dine in entirely and using the space for storage. pizza slices thankfully come in takeout boxes and not in paper bags (the one part of new york pizza that should...

My family has been going to The Pizza box ever since 1980's. My mom was the first to go as a teenager, and a couple of decades later in the late 2000's, I went to the The Pizza Box for the first time. As you look from the outside, this place looks old, but since people at my school talked about this place so much, I wanted to try it out with friends. I ordered 1 slice of pizza with 2 toppings, and it was not what I was expecting. This slice was HUGE. I thought it would be something small like in Costco, but this was bigger than the plate. It was so delicious. The cheese was stretchy, the bread was crunchy, and the toppings were fresh.

From what I've read from the ratings from below, most of them are accurate. The ones that say that the service was bad, maybe you should not review from one encounter that you had with...

I visited this place years ago and the pizza was amazing. There was a lady that owned it then. She could be mean but her pizza was amazing! I’m from out of state and I happened to be in town and ordered with intentions on getting the same great pizza. When I got to my destination and opened it, IT WAS AWFUL! The pizza was burnt to the point that I didn’t wven know what was on it. It looked like bugs were cooked on it. The wings had a good flavor but they were burnt as well! I took a pic and sent it to my sister who was grossed out as well. She turned me on to this place when she lived in the San Jose area. Needless to say, I threw the whole pizza away and went to Pizz’a Chicago which I should’ve gone to in the first place. I will be writing a yelp and google review. The staff were...
