Delicious pizza and cheesy bard bread! Light crust, perfect combination of flavors, well cooked. Great, kind, welcoming service and atmosphere. Fun tabletop games to play while waiting. Can’t wait to come back and to share with friends!

This place is amazing! Their sourdough crust is honestly so good, it’s light, crunchy, and chewy. I got the Taming of the Chew and it was packed with flavor. The pepperoni and cheese were super rich and tasty. You can just tell they use really good ingredients. And what makes it even cooler is that the owners, Mark and Kira, were teachers who left their jobs to follow their dream. Highly recommend checking this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

I cannot say enough about how great the crust is on this pizza, the foundation of any great pizza. Many inventive pizza creations to explore, and definitely try Titania’s Bounty if a salad pizza sounds good to you. As the Bard would say, “To thy own pizza be true”!

What a wonderful place! . The owners are beautiful people with a story worth listening to. Very humble beginnings, but sourdough pizza with it’s weight in gold! If you haven’t tried this place, stop everything and go now!! Best “bard” ever!

Side note: The birth of this pizzeria should be a sitcom!

Amazing hand made pizza on the spot. Takes a bit for the pizza but worth the wait. Highly produce and perfectly performed. The spot to visit if you are trying to support the mom and pop shops but most importantly you are treating yourself with an amazing product. The hustle doesn’t stop but the service is top notch from ordering to the service after. Definitely check out their special; different and brings a different selection of taste to your cravings. Bring yourself a friend or a family for a fantastic meal.

Saw this place as one of Yelps’ 100 best eats in California. I’ve been to TP Tea in the same plaza so many times, but never tried this place. I didn’t realize there was no space to really eat at the restaurant, but I was ordering take-out anyway. The couple seems very nice. Been only making pizzas for 2 years since the pandemic and were teachers before.

We got a Henry the “8” pizza. I thought it was above average. Wifey liked it as she normally doesn’t like pepperoni because it’s too salty, but this place did it just right. We also ordered a Cheezy bread and it was a pleasant surprise – crunchy and chewy. The texture and the taste were great. Interesting that these were sourdough. I don’t think the sourdough really affected my taste though. Oh yeah, I would come back!

I went to Much Ado About Pizza while visiting from Europe, and I’m just sorry I don’t live close enough to go there all the time. The owner made my pizza with such care and attention to detail, spinning out the dough right in front of us and distributing the ingredients perfectly. We got Titania’s Bounty, and the mixture of cooked veggies on the pizza and the fresh ones sprinkled on at the end was great, very well balanced, and just the right amount of cheese. The sourdough crust is also fabulous (usually crust is my least favorite part of the pizza, but this was very tasty and flavorful). This is pizza worthy of a sonnet!

I had the wonderful opportunity to try this recently opened pizza spot. The owners were on hand and are extremely friendly, personable and the pizza is outstanding. I ordered a pepperoni, goat cheese, onion, mushroom, and basil. The flavors all blended very well together and the crust is amazing in both texture and flavor. Give this place a try! You will truly enjoy it.

Much To Do About Pizza in Pleasanton is hands-down the BEST pizza I’ve ever had! Every bite is absolutely delicious – perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and crust that’s baked to perfection. What makes it even more special is that the dough is fermented sourdough, which makes it not only taste incredible but also feel amazing on your tummy. You don’t get that heavy, bloated feeling you usually do with pizza – it’s just the best thing you can eat!

On top of that, their customer service is outstanding. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making sure every customer has a great experience. It’s rare to find a place that not only makes incredible food but also makes you feel like family the moment you walk in.

If you’re looking for pizza that truly stands out – this is the place. Honestly, I’d say it’s the best pizza in the world. Pleasanton is lucky to have this gem!
