Customer Reviews

The service is great!!! The food taste amazing the pizza here has the best cheese pulls! And they always taste so good!! It's a nice and clean environment and a fun place to take the kids out to eat! It has a nice arcade and a laser gun game it so fun! It's a great place to come out with your friends to eat!

I called and spoke to a manager trying to get ideas for what to order for a small group of people. He gave me great recommendations and I placed the order. I went to pick it up and the same manager went over all the items with me. He just spent so much time with me on the phone, was super nice, helped me decide what to get, made great suggestions? I totally felt he appreciates his customers and really wants them to be satisfied. And best part? Everyone absolutely loved everything we got! Amazing service, ex

Great games fun environment! Will return. Had a calzone and was not disappointed!

Just had dinner here tonight and the service from not only the owner but everyone was OUTSTANDING. They went above and beyond for our group (7 adults, 3 kids). The food was great and they have a decent size arcade that all the kids loved. (Laser tag too!) They even host parties. Definitely recommend and I'll be coming back soon and often.

Came here today for a work meeting. I disagree with some previous reviews in regards to the food. The thin crust was perfect, portions of toppings to cheese was good and the pizza itself was good. We also enjoyed the Cesar salad and the wings were really good. Bonus for the fact they have meeting/party rooms to rent. The guy that took care of setting everything up and the food was very nice!

There is nothing not to love about thisbplace. Staff is amazing. Pizza is amazing. Ambiance is amazing not to mention all the huge TVs everywhere. Great place to watch some games and have a beer while the kids are enjoying the arcade.

First time and we loved it! Staff was so friendly, Definitely coming back! Small arcade for kids to play before food. Loved it wasn't crowded on a Friday night. The pizzas had a great taste not greasy at all!!

food is amazing ! i got the pepperoni and the aloha both were amazing. cant wait to try others soon. staff was extremely friendly and everything was super clean. they have lots of TVs perfect for game day. :)

Owner is awsome, very cool and helpful. Food came out hot and tasted good. No complaints. Anything I needed or they might have forgotten I told them and it was taken care of. Only thing I didn't like was that party prices include gratuity already. I didnt pay, my husband did who wasn't aware but when paying asked him if he will leave a tip. He didn't know and gave and additional $40 on top of the 18% charged already. I was also chargedvfor 2 pitchers of soda when I actually asked for 1 soda 1 water. Manager

The pizza is great! Authentic and delicious. It's a very large establishment but the owner seems to be alone most of the time. They have a great arcade that's open in the late afternoon and about 8, 65" TV's

Cool spot for a late-night bite with friendly service, but the food left something to be desired. I ordered the gourmet veggie with chicken, and while the concept sounded great, the execution was lacking. The crust was thin and overwhelmed by a large pile of veggies, with barely any sauce or cheese to balance it out. It might be worth revisiting the recipe to create a more cohesive and flavorful pizza. I hope they can refine the menu because the ambiance and staff are great! Don't think I'll come back, ther

Having grown up in New England I'm a pretty big pizza critic, hearing about a new place opening in Hayward I was eager to try it! Unfortunately this pizza did not hit the mark. Cheese - the cheese had an almost soupy texture I'm not sure if they were not using low moisture mozzarella or what might be happening there and virtually no flavor Sauce - was lacking to cover the whole pizza, when I did get a bite that had some it tasted like the typical generic bulk sauce you can buy at a restaurant store. Crus

Craft pizzeria was a great experience. The pizza so good I also got appetizers. Twist were a 10 out of 10 for me. They also have beer on tap great selection of bottle beer as well , for those who like wine, they have a selection of wine as well. Also, there's an arcade side with laser tag and a bunch of games that are so much fun. My son and I had a great time.

The pizza was okay, tasted like a frozen store bought pizza with toppings added, not my preference. It was very warm inside the restaurant but service was fast

Recently, I went to the Craft Pizzeria- I was immediately enveloped in a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a quick takeaway, the ambiance is both welcoming and relaxed. Niche, the owner is super welcoming and friendly. They have a really good menu variety and enough seating to enjoy and relax afternoon/ evenings.. From recommendations on menu selections to prompt and courteous service, every interaction is marked by professionalism and hospitality...Plus the Arc

This place has it all! Amazing food, a solid selection of beer and wine, arcade games galore, and laser tag. It's a great atmosphere, especially if you have kids! The arcade section is separate from the dining area, so the adults can drink and eat in peace while the kids stay occupied from a wide selection of entertainment ;) It's located off foothill but the entrance is in the back with ample parking spaces! Definitely a go to spot if you have kids and want something entertaining to do, especially on the

Nice large space, with great music, and well placed tvs for the games. I frankly was not expecting much from the pizza. But I do have to say it's the best I've had in the Bay Area. I'm not 100 percent certain, but I think they make their pizza dough from scratch. The mass produced pizza dough(Domino?s, Pizza Hut, etc usually give me a mild allergic reaction). Service was great too. So glad they opened up in Hayward.

I ordered the Hayward pizza, Cajun seasoning wings,cheese knots. Food came out hot and super good!!

First time here and the service and food was great! Everything was seasoned perfectly and it was super simple. A really cool thing was that the owner came out to greet my fiancee and I and talked with us. We appreciate the quality of the service and the brand. Will be back again soon!

You will never find a better pizza place! Customer service is amazing! Food is amazing! They have an arcade to! One of the best places I've ever tried! If you want food come here! Open til 3:30

Went there for the first time today with my son. The food was great and the service was amazing. We were in there mostly by ourselves and they turned the arcade on for us and made sure the ac was on since it was a hot day. We also had a friendly conversation with Niche which made the experience more personal. Definitely a person and place I want to keep supporting and I will come back after 5pm next time so we can try the lazer tag

Had my wedding at crafts pizza on November , 16 , 2024. It was so amazing and I thank niche for renting it out for us!! I thank you for everything an we all had fun!! Every event he will take care of you!!?????? Junior an koko Please book for your events

I went here with my nephews, we all enjoyed the arcade game room and pizza was delicious and best pizza i had in a while and beer on tap was nice and cold. Customer Service was excellent and the restaurant was nice and clean. Definitely going back.

We brought our soccer team here and both parents and kids had a great time. The food was good, the arcade was fun and it was super convenient to have laser tag right there.

The manager during the day IF IS ALWAYS SUPER HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. They they offer. A lot of selections on pizza and other items. They got that MAC Dre beer that is solid.

The BESTTTTT PIZZA!!!!! Definitely recommending to friends n family for a good time. Arcade room is amazing! Laser tag was super fun! Kids loved it and the adults loved the beer on tap lol. This is now our go to for pizza night. Great service too! 10/10

I love this spot. The atmosphere is so good and the service was very fast. The pizza was even better. I ordered for here and last minute they made it to go. Without any problem. I will definitely go back.

This place was so cool, they got a variety of arcade games, great food and beer. But most importantly, they have a huge room for lazer tag! I was able to chill and enjoy myself while my kids ran around. Great for birthday parties or even just a day out with the kids. Also, everyone who runs this place is super friendly.

Food was great, made very delicious. I loved the convenience of the restaurant in there. I ordered the vegetable canzone, so good. Will definitely come back.

I bought a pizza wings and personal cheese the dough is hard their order was not complete I order for meat jalapeno and pineapple they only gave me jalapeno and pineapple I get there at the time designated to pick up and they're late I have to wait there 15 minutes for them very low customer service no ranch and the brightest very bad. Also been calling them for the past 20 minutes and no one picks up the phone. I would not recommend to my friends 5 star is a joke.

Lemon pepper pizza & chocolate chip cookie pizza were great. Got to meet the owner, super cool and chill guy. The place also has an arcade where kids can play.

Good pizza, fun place, definitely will come here often.!

The pizza and win?s was really delicious I think I will come back we my kids and my sisters

Ordered throught their own website for pick up. No communication our order had gotten canceled . The guy over the phone is willing to take order. It's just unprofessional the way their app handled it. Won't recommend this place. If the app says they are taking orders. Then that means someone from inside intentionally did not want to make order.

Their on line ordering process was down. Had to wait 45min for my order.

10/10 recommend ! Best customer service and on top of that pizza is amazing. Best beer on tap and ohh I didn't mention, they also have laser tag, so fun for everyone.

Great vibe, owner and staff were very accommodating for our Brother?s birthday pregame event from the way they ran the laser tag, food, drinks, and music!

That place is awesome! Great pizza, fun arcade, laser tag, and tasty beer on tap. Perfect for a fun night out with friends and family!

Had a party for the kids. Everyone enjoyed the games and food. Laser tag. Big TV screens. Great customer service.

Great place top tier food for sure with A1 service ??

Awesome experience over the holiday. The cashier must have been the owner because he was so nice but the food is great and service was awesome. See you guys next time ??????

An amazing place the most video games up-to-date. They also have laser tag. I hear that they're going to get a full liquor license. This might be my go to place.

I would give the pizza an 8 out of 10. On par with Round Tables and Mountain Mike's

The kids love the arcade games; lots of variety to keep them busy for hours. The customer service and pizza was on point.

Niche what a great host food is amazing. Very clean place. Great place to take your kids.

Thank you for the delicious pizza, sir. It was a pleasure helping you today with the banner. Leo

Great family environment with an unmatched pizza bite!!!

Great place very clean great service and staff

Super friendly and fun place!

The pizza there is so delicious

Best thing I can I say about the please is that the pizza is good and that's about it . The wings were the size of my pinky, the arcade was closed but it could be because I went at 11 but even then kind part of the reason I went but oh well, and aside from the the guy who served me the pizza did NOT wanna be there. Aside from that the pizza was pretty damn good I will say that. Might give this place another shot another time hopefully I'll get a better experience

Great service. Pizza was solid. Wings were great.

(Translated by Google) They have games for children but they are never open (Original) Tienen juegos para ni?os pero nunca est?n abiertos

(Translated by Google) Perfect! (Original) Perfecto!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
