Parktown Pizza Company — Restaurant in Pleasanton

First the pros; This place has potential. It's in a great location and has a spacious dinning area decorated in an uptown-urban-styled theme. There is a good mix of table-height, counter-height, and bar seating. They had so many TVs lined-up end-to-end around the dining room, it almost seemed like too much. They had so many beers taps, that not all the taps were in use, but still had a large selection of beers available.

Now the cons; Because of our work hours, my friends and I needed a spot that opened up earlier than most other places. They advertise a 10:00am opening time and we arrived at about 10:15am. All the lights and TVs were off, but I could see there were people inside so I knew they were open. When we went inside, it was clear the air conditioner was still off because it was very muggy inside (this was the middle of summer and already +80° at 10am in the morning) and it smelled of Indian spices. I am more of a conventional pizza fan, so the smell combined with the muggy-ness was off-putting.

We ordered a large pepperoni pizza and some drinks. I was disappointed that they didn't have a soda fountain. They only offered a very limited selection of 20oz bottles of soda. My friends asked for ice water. They were directed to a large punch dispenser in the dining area which was filled about half-way with room-temperature water. At no time during our visit did they attempt to change the water in the dispenser, or even offer ice to my friends. We waited longer than expected (given the fact that we were their only customers). I'm guessing they still hadn't fired-up the ovens yet. When we finally got our pizza, it was mediocre at best. There was way too much cheese on it; so much that not all of it completely melted. The pizza wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

I think that maybe if they didn't have a late start to their early opening, I would have enjoyed the place. But what it all boils down to is, how good is the pizza? In this case, it's not good enough to make me want to come back. I will not be going back to Parktown...

My wife discovered this place on Google when she was trying to find a place that makes Indian-style pizzas. Our all-time favorite had been Chicago's pizza in Livermore, but they shut down recently for whatever strange reason. I quickly scanned the prices of this Parktown location on Google Maps, and they looked low ($18 something). However, I did not know at the time what size the pricing was for. We visited the place and ordered two medium pizzas (Lemon Pepper Paneer and Veggie Masala). When the polite gentleman added the total, it left me shocked. About $75 for two medium pizzas. I have a weakness of not expressing dissatisfaction with something in person. So I just paid without making any comments. When I went to my wife sitting at a table and told her the total, she also could not believe it. She told me to cancel the order, but I felt it was a little late and would be disruptive at that time. I thought maybe the pizzas were gonna be out of this world, and that would hopefully justify their sky-high prices. But alas, we did not like either one. Nothing special. We used to purchase two medium pizzas for about $40 at Chicago's. Parktown really needs to evaluate their pricing. Originally, we were going to try out all of their pizzas through multiple visits, but their pricing just scared us away. Will not be visiting again. They seemed to be selling some sort of...

We love Park Town Pizza! Be it take away or just the overall ambience. This place is ideal to meet friends or just enjoy some lip smacking pizza.
