Straw Hat Pizza

Love coming here especially for big sporting events. Good atmosphere great pizza and cold beer! The big tv’s make for an exciting time when you’re cheering on your favorite team. My favorite pizza is the combo, satisfies my hunger every time

I’ve grown up going here and now that there’s a new owner I feel like the pizza takes 20 minutes longer I waited 40 minutes just for a medium pizza… I don’t care how many tvs you have this place is just a waste of time.

Thanks for the service today guys from straw hat. We ordered a king size pepperoni pizza with half jalapeños. Bomb! When the order first came it was turned over and was a little soggy. Ugh! Yuck! But they replaced it right away with another one. This is a business that knows how to handle customers and have a great customer service attitude. Thanks again for making things right and I love the lunch deals :-)

Great atmosphere I love the TVs at every corner
Food was on point
Service was great

So I’ve waiting a few months to see how the new owner would change this old dump. Well to my surprise new owner has done a great job. They have turned this place upside down from cleaning the restaurant up and thank god remodeling the restrooms. The beer is cold again ha ha. I hope the upgrades continue. Regarding the food, its just fine it does the job. So i was there yesterday and i watched them put in new air conditioners brrrrrrr. so in the summer it will be spot for me to hang out at. Gilroy needed a place like this tvs and beer and just a nice clean place to hang out at. To the owner well done keep it up.

StrawHat now with the new ownership is a lot better if you go INTO the restaurant, and order food. Their delivery is NOT good!
I’m a regular customer in there. Today when I called, the girl that answered was very unfriendly to me on the phone. Somehow they forgot about the forks/​knives and napkins that I needed to be able to eat my salad with. When I call back I told the girl that The delivery driver forgot the plasticware. I told her there was more than one person here and plse give me a few forks and plates. The delivery driver arrived back with only ONE Fork, one napkin and one plate!!! That was just a real insult. Thanks StrawHat?!

A definite upgrade with the new owner! 27 70″ high def flat screens covering every angle in the restaurant. Great place to enjoy a delicious pizza, beer, and a ball game or a fight! I highly recommend their pan style pizza. The salad bar is fresh and has plenty of variety. It’s a perfect spot for a kid’s birthday party! Has plenty of games in the game room. The bathrooms are beautifully remodeled and clean! The girls behind the counter were friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely be here a lot more even if it’s just for a nice cold pitcher of beer and Warriors game.

Came here for the first time last Saturday for the UFC fight. They have about 30 70-​inch TV’s. which means there is not a bad seat anywhere in the Restaurant. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced. Spoke with the manager, really cool dude.
I’m looking forward to coming back for the NFL playoffs and future UFC/​Boxing events.

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but
I have to say I was disappointed with Strawhats pizza. The issue is the dough, which you would think would be somewhat consistent from restaurant to restaurant
I hate frozen pizzas as they typically are bad, and the dough on this pizza tasted and looked like a frozen pizza. Maybe the
Dough is premade or frozen when delivered to their
Restaurant ?? but it sure didn’t have that
Fresh quality.
Other ingredients were fine, but since the
Dough is 60−70%of the pizza it was
Disappointing !
See what you think!

My favorite! Can’t go wrong with The Bambino. Always on time for delivery. Employees are great. Most definitely better than Pizza Hut or Round Table.

Can only rate the service and pricing at this point because it’s taking forever to get our food. The owner is an asshole and has no clue how to deal with orders.
I’ll try to comment again and rate the food but not sure at this point if we will even be eating here. An hour is way too long for pizza.

My favorite pizza.
The pizza is delicious, the Hot Hats are good too. The salad bar is always fresh and their ranch is the BOMB.
I used to work here in my late teen years, good memories. It’s also nice to see the place hasn’t really changed much. But at the same time, its not run down or anything.
Whenever I come back «home» to visit family in Gilroy, Straw Hat is always on my list of places to eat.

First off, let me preface this review by stating that this place is better then Pizzahut’s, Little Caesar, or Dominos garbage pizza.
A higher quality cheese could be used especially on the price they charge for pizza. I think they are charging for the quantity of dough, the taste and quality of the dough are not that desirable. The dough is cardboardy. In fact the pizza has some after taste that needs to be fixed.
Aside from the cheese and dough, the sauce was pleasantly decent. The toppings were also of decent quality. The a Italian sausage was par for a decent pizza so I was happy there as well. The mushrooms were very small but tasted good.
The veggie pizza had good toppings. The salad bar was good.
A final note. The wings and ranch sauce were both very good. In fact if I went back, it is for wings, not pizza. The wings taste much better than the wings at Wing Stop in my opinion, plus at a better price.

I ordered chicken garlic pizza through phone since i can’t get out of the office and i also am not from Gilroy and since I am more of a gourmet pizza person, I think their pizza was not so bad at all. I had one for delivery and it was kind of a long wait. Also I think it is a little pricey for a non gourmet pizza parlor. I had a small one for almost 20 dollar. Since it is my first time to ordered their pizza, i had to say it was not a bad experience at all.

This is a typical american pizza place. You’ll see a salad bar, «spaghetti & meatballs» on the menu, and a variety of pizza toppings available. This location also serves some beers on tap and wine as well. Don’t expect gourmet! We always go on half priced Tuesdays!

I love Staw Hat Pizza but will NEVR go back to this location again. I had my daughter’s 1^st birthday party over there this past weekend and the owner (old man with glasses) is such an ass. I called the night before the party to get some information about the prices and I told him I received a coupon in my email that if I bought a Large pizza I would get a free medium one topping pizza. He said very rudely that they don’t honor that coupon and that at their location it’s a free small not medium. Whatever, fine.
So the day of the party I go to place my order and I show the young girl my coupon on my phone. She told me to hold on and went to talk the the owner. When she got back she said I’m sorry my boss said I can’t honor that coupon because it’s not printed. Are you kidding me? I’m about to spend $ 300 on pizza and soda and he won’t honor a free small cheese pizza. I asked to speak to him and he was so rude I honestly wanted to forget the whole party and just go next door to Pizza Hut. I asked him if he would honor it since I was spending so much $ and really rudely he just kept saying «NO NO.» I tried talking to him but he just kept cutting me off and again said NO. I finally said that I would never have another party here again and he just walked away. What a douche bag!
I honestly don’t think giving a free small cheese pizza was going to break the company. If he would have answered me in more «business» like manner I would have just let it go. I’m not even upset about the free pizza I AM PISSED that an owner of a company can just treat customers this way.
I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE and I’m telling everyone I know in Gilroy not to go there either.

So up until recently I have had a pretty good experience here. I used to come in with my family every week during lunch time and the owner knew us and was always friendly. I love the lunch special prices and the amount of food is pretty good. The salad bar could use some more options but overall not a bad little place.
However the reason I am taking away a star is last week I went in and was really disappointed all around! I left there angry and almost in tears. First off it was night time and the people working were ignoring me to text and laugh while speaking to each other in Spanish, granted I was on my phone but I had put it down to talk to them. After a few minutes I asked them if they had something similar to the lunch special, as I didn’t want a whole pizza. She informed me that I had to order a full size pizza, without so much as suggesting another option or trying to work with me. I guess I am spoiled because the owner has made substitutions for our family many times (since some of them are vegan). Fine, I end up getting a medium which was only like $ 2 more (or something like that), the salad bar and I also ordered there wedges. On the front counter there was a sign advertising 1 pound of fries for $ 3.99 (I think) the wedges were like $ 7.99 but I assumed I would get the same amount of food. WRONG! When the order came there was literally 8 wedges inside. When I questioned her about the fact that the container wasn’t even ½ full she said, «that’s how many come in the order» and then walked away to talk to the same guy to continue the conversation I had apparently interrupted. While staring and pointing and LAUGHING at me or at least in my direction, they continued to talk to each other in Spanish, making me feel uncomfortable. I spent almost $ 40 in their place and I left in damn near tears and shaking from anger and humiliation. Not to mention I felt like I was ripped off for the amount of money I spent and the little amount of food I received.
I have been there many times, and since my family enjoys going there so much I will probably return but only during lunch hours when the owner is there. It’s very disappointing too because I really dislike Pizza Hut’s service and prices and we order pizza a lot. I was hoping to replace it permanently with Straw Hat.

I’ve been coming here my entire life with my family and for soccer pizza parties, so I may be a little biased, but I think their pizza is great middle-​of-​the-​road pizza. Try the chicken bacon ranch!

As a Gilroy native… I’ve been acquainted with this pizza parlor for my entire life. It was super cool & fun to go play in as a kid & it still has the brown pony ride!!! OMG, I loved this thing & would wait impatiently for other kids to get off so I could play cowgirl. ;D
The pizza is really good & satisfying for pizza cravings & I love the salad bar, the only one I’ve seen with sprouts. Yum yum.
The kiddies also have a mini arcade to keep busy. And there’s 2 major TV screens in 2 diff rooms for games.

We had a pizza social here for my daughters birthday party tonight. I made reservations a week ahead of time. When we arrived my totally easy going husband went to the counter to place our order and was immediately given major attitude from the (owner???) older man that wears glasses behind the counter. I walked up without knowing he’d been given attitude and finished ordering the pizza. All the while this guy in glasses is acting like I’m the biggest pain in his ass. He was so completely rude. I finally asked him if he was in a hurry or something (the restaurant was empty). I told him that I thought I was being a huge inconvenience to him. He said no and got much nicer, but what an ass!
Regarding the pizza… YUCK, YUCK and a triple YUCK.
My recommendation, got to Pizza Hut next door. Their stuffed crust pizza is out of this world and they are friendly to boot.
By the way, I was laying down about $ 150.00 for this pizza social. You’d thnk he’d be grateful to have the business on a slow Wednesday evening.
Oh, sorry one last complaint. We could not order drinks for the kiddies by the pitcher and ended up paying $ 1.40 each for 20 kids’ drinks.
