We love it here! The chopped salad is awesome. I’ve always had good food experiences (delivery, takeout or dine-in). It’s a community staple.

I wish I could’ve left 4.5 stars. They use an AI answering system to take your order. It worked well for me but I can see some people having issues with it. Garlic knots were very tasty. BBQ chicken wings were also very good. The pizza bottom is quite thin with a thin crust. The pie can quickly get soggy. It also seems like there is only one size you can get. I’d go back.

It’s a good slice, not great, not bad, good enough. The crust is NY style thin but floppy without the cracker bottom to hold up so it folds under pressure quickly. The sauce doesn’t go anywhere near the edge, see pics, so the margins are an inch or more which isn’t great. It would be ok if like Totos (see my review and pics) it had the more flavorful crust style but the crust is simple flour water crust, like a saltime cravker versus a Ritz cracker. Ingredients ratio is fine, not too little but not overly generous. I had the Julie’s style as recommended by the counter staff. The roasted garlic was nice but otherwise unremarkable. Pricey for a 14 inch at $25 with tax. Two could eat one 14 inch but an inch or more is flour crust so uninspiring. Sauce ratio was too skimpy. Mouth feel.was chewy and fine, the ricotta added a little nice saltiness.
This was the place was recommended as the place in this smallish part of town and it is fine. Atmosphere fine. Green salad was basic at $7 and they put the wrong dressing on. The dressings were fine but the blue cheese didn’t have any actual chunks of blue cheese, although it tasted decent.
All and all unremarkable particularly for the cost, with tip, drink and salad at abouut $40. Fine if you need a slice and don’t have time or options to head into other parts of town but not craveable or memorable.
Staff was fine but not overly friendly nor rude, just fine.

I first starting going here when I lived in Oakland more than 10 years ago. I’m back in the area for Christmas and looked them up at in in an Airbnb less than a mile away. Ordered delivery and I’m sooo happy the Pizza is as good as ever!! Coming from an East Coast pizza snob that is saying a lot!
Best pizza in the area by far! Better than Slices for sure!!

I’ve been craving that thin-crust, NYC-style pizza and came across Pan Coast Pizza in Walnut Creek, CA. @PanCoast_Pizza. I ordered a dozen wings, fried to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. For the pizza, I went with an 18-inch, half Ben Franklin and half Meatzazola. The amount of meat on such a thin crust was impressive! A sprinkle of red pepper flakes made it even better. I also love that they serve local sodas from Oakland. My go-to mix? Cola, root beer, and cream soda. If you’re ever in Walnut Creek, definitely check them out!

Thank you to the owners of PanCoast Pizza. There’s nothings like coming to a place and feeling like home! Love how friendly and down to earth they were. And love hearing their story of how the place came about!!!
Place: 4 stars – it’s in a good spot but only a few parking spots. It’s a corner lot so it’s easy to spot. It’s kinda tiny inside so when they get really busy it can get really crowded. I like the back patio it’s nice and cozy. Even though it’s not that big, it’s still a good spot for a baseball/soccer team to enjoy some food after a game.
Food: 5 stars – lithe food tasted so fresh. My favorite was the garlic knot! I can probably keep eating them if they’re in from of me, it was so soft. The pizza, it was thin crust just how I like it, cheesy, and lots of toppings! Meatballs were also the bomb! Love that marinara sauce that’s on the meatball, also good with the garlic knots!!!
Staff: got smiles, their helpful and attentive!
Side note: bathroom was nice and clean :).

What a disaster. New ownership has ruined a quality and trusted local establishment. They now use AI for orders, cannot answer a phone call for pickup, removed over half of their signature pizzas and menu, higher prices, and they have a terrible attitude if ordering in person. Tragic loss to a once well respected local icon. Take your money elsewhere, there are plenty of other better options down the block

Looks like a great place to hang out with friends over pizza and beer. If I was in my younger days, I’d definitely come here for a few beers. The atmosphere is inviting for it.
If however, you just want a quick slice and garlic knots, it’s also a great place -because that’s what I did. They warmed up the order and put it in a box for me.
If you happen to be looking for food while visiting someone at Kaiser, and narrowed your choices to this pizza place and that burrito place across the street, come here!

Walnut Creek has its fair share of delicious restaurants as well as fast casual spots to choose from. But it doesn’t have a whole lot of pizza places, especially when you’re in the mood for just a single “slice” of pizza. With that said and done, this takes me to “panCoast pizza” which focuses on their New York-styled pizzas. Located directly on S. Main St. and parallel to Highway 680 on the south part of Walnut Creek, this place has been serving their piping hot east coast pizzas dating back to 2012.
What makes this place great is that the owner Bob Pancoast is originally from the Philadelphia/New Jersey area which means he brings a lot of his ideas out west. I ended up coming here during the evening of Sunday 9/5/2021 at around 8:30pm. Even though this was 30 minutes before closing time, they still had a very generous amount of customers ordering for dine-in and to-go. Since I live out of town, I decided to dine outside and take advantage of the warm late summer evening.
The inside of this place is rather small but still allowed indoor seating as well as TV’s, a self-serve fountain drink station, and a single restroom. After looking over the menu, I ended up going with a slice of their sausage, olives, red onions, and cheese while my +1 went with a slice of their pepperoni with jalapeños. Prices here for the slices are fairly reasonable as you can get a fairly generous slice in between the $5-7 range. In addition to the slices, they also make whole pizza pies as well as hoagies, salads, and strombolis. They also carry a fairly decent amount of craft beers on tap.
Considering it was quite busy on a Sunday evening, my pizza still only took about 5 minutes until it was ready. Overall, this definitely has a nice unique New York taste to it with the crust being thin while still packing in a ton of flavor. The only real downfall is that since this pizza was sitting under a hot oven for quite some time, it didn’t have that 100% fresh out of the oven taste. If I could critique one thing about this place and that is to not have that cracker crust taste to it. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed my slice from start to finish. But it was still flavorful, filling, didn’t have a whole lot of grease while it was generous with the toppings. The outside area was also well lit and spacious; perfect for those comfortable Bay Area evenings.
All in all, “panCoast pizza” is definitely one of the better mom-and-pop pizza joints. They have fairly generous hours being opened Sunday through Thursday from 11am-9pm and Friday-Saturday from 11:30am-10pm. Decent prices, a very large assortment of specialty pizzas to satisfy all taste buds, and above average customer service. My rating, an above average four stars.
