Pizza Guys — Restaurant in Santa Clara

My experience with was this; 9pm pizza run. Ordered online. Two medium pizzas for 56$? I got there to find their medium pizza is the size of a dinner plate. The seemingly only man working is sort of standing behind the oven. I wave, he doesn’t turn. He walks to put a pizza in the to-go bag. Still doesn’t acknowledge us, 4 minutes go by of him not responding to us. Another man walks into the store and starts walking to the counter. My boyfriend walks one step closer to the counter to show it’s our turn. The man finally asks us what we need. (It’s been 5 minutes without even a hello). Our pizza was the order we watched him put in the to go bag when we first came in. OK. We pay and leave. Ok well maybe it’s really good? I get home, bust open the pizzas and they look great. I read the reviews to the place which is why I was willing to pay 50$ for two medium pizzas. Um. 😐 I must have gotten a bad batch because this place has mostly 5 star reviews. The crust was thin and so overcooked at the ends it crumbled. There was SO much cheese on each slice it was a chewy greasy mess. The tomato sauce my bf and I both agreed tasted like watered down and like maybe old? Almost musty? Surely Californias standard for pizzas is not this low. I rarely leave reviews but this was a wild experience. Would not spend...

I stopped here to pick up dinner on a Sunday night. I called in my order from the parking lot-A medium combo and a green salad. It was ready within the 15 minutes promised. I paid $28.00 and change. The pizza was better than I expected. The medium is a generous size loaded with fresh toppings. The crust was perfectly crisp and there was nothing soggy about the pizza at all, as many have complained about. The salad was fresh and came with packets of croutons and dressing. The salad was enough for 2 people. I didn't think they were overpriced at all, compared to places not nearly as good but charging more. (Round Table, for example).

This location is actually in Santa Clara, not San Jose. The website features a lengthy blurb singing the praises of San Jose, likely the work of somebody who doesn't know the area because Santa Clara is the heart of Silicon Valley and there are a lot of features here that residents are very proud of and if you live around here, you know that San Jose is fine, but it isn't Santa Clara. Anyway, Pizza Guys is definitely worth a try. PLUS they are open until 10:30 pm on a Sunday night which, these days, is rare and very much...

They have a $5 lunch special, which gets you a 10" pizza with one topping. The crust is thicker, but light, and has a good texture and taste. They do not skimp on the sauce or cheese, both of which have good flavor. The pizza is a bit greasy, but good pizza usually is. The dine in area is new and clean, though the exhaust fans are quite loud. There are three tables that can seat about five people each. They offer soft drinks and Brisk tea in 20 ounce and 2 liter bottles, no fountain drinks. On street parking is limited. Will definitely return.

Update: decided to try this place again. There is additional off street parking next to the building on Homestead. The pizza was consistent with my first trip, but I ordered two of the 10" lunch specials, and the woman brought a 14" pizza instead, and claimed that it works out the same. A quick math problem determines that to be incorrect, and in fact, we only received about 70 percent of what we ordered. This should have been okayed by us before making the assumption that we wouldn't mind. Knocking one star off...
