Went here on a Saturday at 11am and it was dead. The parking lot was empty. I told the host we would have a party of less than 20 people. They made it a big deal and wanted to know the exact amount of people and that we needed to sign a contract. She was so rude and was refusing our service. Once everyone showed up, there was 18 people and she still hesitated, but sat us down. The whole two hours we were there, only one table got used by other customers. I loved the decor and how they had old stuff. The pizza was ok, not something to brag about. After the horrible service and making us wait, I will not come back on my own terms.

My dad and I came here August15 because I’m in town for San Jose for the convention here and And I will tell you, my dad and I we waited about 30 minutes before we finally got our pizza. It was really good but in my honest opinion it needed to be cut better but it was good and I even came back last night the 16th for dinner and I got spaghetti, some bread and some something else I can’t remember but that was really good except for the meatballs in the spaghetti. It was a little dry inside. I had to dip it in my pasta sauce to eat it if I didn’t have the pasta sauce, I would not have eaten the meatballs Yesterday, while I was waiting to order, I saw one of the staff members a girl with long hair. It was dark but she was wearing a gray sweatshirt and this was around 730 almost 8 o’clock at night she came she was in the lobby picking up tables and throwing it away in the garbage can well she dragged recycling bin back to the counter after her fingers were all over it, and she took care of the dirty dishes. Instead of washing her hands, she went right back to serving food, and not even acknowledging that I was in the standing there, watching what even gross me out after she came back after handling on fresh food she went back to throw something away and touched the Recycling garbage can and I thought that was really nasty and I would would’ve walked out but I was really hungry. I’m only back again this time because my hotel so slow service tonight for dinner that I forgot to give this place on the chance and I’m gonna be honest it’s a lot quieter and nicer tonight last two nights. I’m sorry for the low stars, but that was because for the food service last night but also the nuthouse of what is is. on another note, when I use the bathroom here yesterday last night, it was really nice and clean but this time I walked in and my nose wanted to fall off it smells there’s water all over the sink and the garbage can is overflowing with paper towels Water on the counter just sitting there there’s no Constant checking the bathrooms of the staff on shift. They had noticed they would’ve noticed that the garbage cans are overflowing water on the calendar in a few drops of water on the floor. If the manager or the owner of this business cares about this place which they do I would recommend that they reinforce their food handler safety because when I saw that lady touched the garbage can then touched the fresh food using the the dirty dishes hands . I honestly wanted to walk out, but I didn’t because I was so hungry if the manager or the owner wants to reach me feel free to send me a message through this review. Even though the review was a clean restrooms, the restrooms are not clean. They need to be maintained better service to better, and the signs outside the building aren’t even on there needs to be more lights outside the building. OK I’m going back and I’ve changed it for the third time after just seeing two of the staff members on tonight which is August 17 drag a recycling garbage can and an actual garbage can back then they let go of the cans and they go over behind the counter and they use hand sanitizer and that is their way of washing their hands instead of actually going behind the counter, going to the actual sink and using water and soap that is disgusting and you know for a cheeseburger you know I was expecting an actual cheeseburger round burger bun instead, I get a half burnt sandwich, subway sandwich, burger with cheese, and a somewhat good looking patty and I have to make it myself I don’t want the manager or the owner to call me. I will just re-be reporting this to the food safety. This is not safety food. This is just laziness. If you guys are gonna serve hamburgers at least have a round hamburger bun not some Subway foot-long and bread.

Kukar’s House of Pizza is a San Jose Institution that I used to frequent as a child growing up in this town. They have their own parking lot in downtown San Jose which is an anomaly in itself. I thought everything was okay. I personally haven’t been here since the 80s and I would not rush back, but I wouldn’t turn it away either.

Service seems pretty slow. I was a dine-in customer and waited about 40 minutes for my small pizza. The restaurant didn’t seem super crowded when I went in, although it definitely wasn’t empty either. When the pizza got there, it was hot, but the crust was just slightly overcooked and it could have used a little bit more cheese. All in all, not too bad, the location is great because it’s walkable from downtown.

My favorite since I was a little girl. Watching my dad order and tell me all about the history of the place lit up my heart. He’s gone now but every time I go in there I feel my dad and remember the stories. Things have changed in management but the pizza remains the same…..my favorite memory….I love and miss you daddy…..

My family went there tonight and it was delicious, per usual. We love the tasty pizza, tastes the same every time. It’s our daughter’s favorite place to celebrate since she was a little girl. It’s always a kind staff with cool decor. Love how it’s got a Halloween flare. The arcade is always so fun too.

ZERO STARS! There should be a NEGAVTIVE Star for business that allows concerning customer service.
No matter how good your pizza is if you have an unprofessional manager who is rude to the customers, your pizza and business are nothing. Worst customer service and it wasn’t the staff but the manager! George, if you care about your company and customers, you should really evaluate who you have managing your business.
I am a regular customer and once I witnessed the manager Kori belittling a mom with 3 kids I had to step in and try to help. I tried to de-escalate the situation, but the manager was so irate she didn’t have any control over her tone and was extremely unprofessional. Kori continued to yell over me and the mother even though neither one of us were talking when she was speaking. I had to remind her I was trying to help so she didn’t need to yell at me. She insisted she was talking loudly because the mother was talking over her, but the mother was standing there stunned in silence. I reminded Kori that part of being a manager is to act professional and try to accommodate or even compromise with customers.
From what I witnessed the problem was the manager sat the mother and her group at a table that was too small, so the mother moved to another table. Kori the manager told the mother she needs to move from the table because they have a strict sitting policy. Kori told the mother she needed to go back to the podium and wait until she could be assigned another table. Since it was not busy and there were no customers waiting to be seated, I suggested to Kori to let the mother know the assigned table so they could move to the new table. Kori refused the suggestion and insisted the mother, plus kids all go back to the podium and wait to be assigned a table. Kori insisted she would not help until they were all at the podium. The mother tried to talk with Kori and tried to explain that her 3-year-old son has cancer and just came out of the hospital, and she was trying not to move him too much. The poor little boy still had a tube connected on his face and I could see the mother’s pain and disbelieve of what was happening. Kori decided to make the comment “I have someone who has cancer so don’t go there!” and then decided she was going to refuse service to them. I felt so bad I apologized to the mother for how she was treated and offered them our pizza to take with them.
I wanted to bring it to the community’s attention because customers shouldn’t be treated in a belittling and disrespectful manner, especially in front of their kids.
Step it up George! Make sure you are hiring the staff you want representing your business.

Great pizza. One of my favorites going back to 1979. My father used to bring House Of Pizza on Fridays as a surprise for my siblings and I. Pizza flavor is exactly like I remembered.

The food is edible but it would have been nice to have parmesan cheese on my spaghetti or garlic on the garlic bread. Service was terrible. And for nearly $20 a plate I would have expected metal silverware or at least a knife with my plastic fork.
