I love their pizza. What's special about the pizza here is the crust. It is cheesy and crispy. The choices of toppings come together in a nice way. I never enjoyed pizza with plenty of vegetables this much. On top of that, they have butter cakes! It is best to bring them home, heat them up, and eat with a scoop (or more) of ice cream. This has become another staple place for us if we crave for high quality pizza!

Love their pizzas . They are usually crowded even on weekdays so I usual I order in advance for pick up . My favorite pizza is Hawaiian pizza that has generous amount of cheese , pineapple and pickled jalapeños and they are amazing ! I love that their pizza are not overly salty .

A little market store that carries a variety of specialties. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They do have a couple small tables outdoor for you if you want to have a quick lunch outside. I normally come here for their pizza’s and Zanze’s Cheesecakes.

Absolutely the best pizza in West Portal. We’ve probably had over 20 take out pizzas and pasta’s in the past couple of years and the food’s always been delicious.. Great homemade dough and fresh ingredients. The staff is also very friendly when picking up orders. They are the Ferrari of pizzas in West Portal.

Showed up on a Saturday around 6:30pm. Really nice store and food options looked delicious. Ordered a caesar, pizza and spaghetti at the counter to-go. Place was packed so will obviously order ahead next time, but clearly our order got forgotten in the rush and even after asking multiple times, we didn’t receive the food until 7:30pm. Didn’t notice until we got home that they forgot to put the dressing in the Caesar box. Definitely order ahead or use a delivery service because in-person orders are last on the priority list.

Want to know the best-kept secret in West Portal? It’s Little Original Joe’s by the family behind Original Joe’s. This Italian take out restaurant and specialty market is heavy on my family’s rotation. You can get specialty groceries, including fresh, pre-made pasta. They have the best thin crust pizza! The flavors, textures, and crust are all on point. And the spicy honey bomba wings are the bomb!

Today I with my family have tried California dreamin’ pizza and half& half ice creams of this place😍 We really loved this pizza. I think it was the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. Also, we have tried their potato chips😍 We loved them too. Recommend to all of you!!! But, we do not so like the ice cream, because it melted after some time. It wasn’t so tasty, but anyway it was ok!

Stopped by to pickup an order on a super busy NYE and they were clearly getting more orders than anticipated but the employees were handling it with efficient grace in their tiny little kitchen and order prep area. My order took longer than expected but I got to watch the controlled chaos and could see my ticket progress which made it manageable. Food was great as always once I was finally able to grab and take home.
