    📍 @willowstreetpizza 🍕 Willow Street Pizza has been in Willow Glen for decades. I can’t believe I haven’t tried it until now! The first thing you’ll notice is their set up. The space features outdoor seating, a full bar, and an open kitchen where you can see the chefs getting to work. Not to mention a giant mural of the Mona Lisa eating a slice of pizza. They specialize in wood-fired pizzas (their Thai pizza is like no other) and have a great selection of apps and pastas as well. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty each dish was, especially their corned beef sandwich—honestly one of the best I’ve had. They have two locations, one in Willow Glen and one in Los Gatos. Our server at the Willow Glen location was the HOMIE. Have us some great recs and was super funny too. Perfect spot to come with family or friends to grab a drink and eat some great food! Our Order - Fiery Prawns & Fresh Corn Salsa - Wood-fired Artichoke Dip - Thai Chicken Wood-fired Pizza - Classic Corned Beef Sandwich - Salmon & Spinach Fettucine - Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

    Have you been to this Willow Glen staple? 👀 📍 Willow Street Pizza - San Jose & Los Gatos, CA @willowstreetpizza has been around for over 30 years. Chef Hisham also owns this spot & surprised @foodinbob & I with some amazing drinks & staple dishes 🤩 Still thinking about this Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. No joke, the best one in the Bay. Hands down 😤 What surprised me the most was the Wild Mushroom Pesto Penne. Ask anyone, I’m not a mushroom girly, but this dish was delicious. 10/10 would order again. These drinks are a must if you like them fruity. If you haven’t been to @willowstreetpizza, here’s your sign to visit! They’ve recently rolled out their spring menu & revamped their drinks menu & named them after the different sectors of Willow Glen. Dishes Featured: 🍴 Artichoke Dip 🍴 Spicy Tots 🍴 Garlic Bread 🍴 Willowburger 🍴 Italian Sausage Rigatoni 🍴 Thai Chicken Pizza 🍴 Wild Mushroom Pesto Penne 🍴 Caramel Apple Bread Pudding 🍹 Atlanta Bird 🍹 Bagsby Thank you @chef__hisham & @willowstreetpizza for an amazing experience 🤍

    Embark on a flavor journey with every slice at Willow Street Pizza & Taproom! 🍕🍺 ❗️ Get 30% off the entire menu on 15 November! Join their 30th Anniversary Celebration at both the San Jose and Los Gatos location. There will be all day festivities and a live band at the Los Gatos location. I kicked off my meal with appetizers like the MEATBALLS – a trio of marinara-drenched, parmesan-sprinkled delight, each bite adorned with fresh basil. The wood-fired GARLIC BREAD was a carb-lover’s dream, its thick crust harmonizing with roasted garlic and a trio of cheeses, hinting dill. The GARLIC CHICKEN pizza? A masterpiece of flavors with bacon, garlic cream, and a perfect cheese blend, all brought together with spinach and sweet caramelized onions. Then came the WILLOWBURGER – not your average burger but a 9oz Angus masterpiece on wood-fired flatbread, accompanied by the most addictive garlic fries. And the finale – BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIBS, tender and rich alongside creamy buttermilk mashed potatoes and crisp broccolini. Swipe to see the decadence and don’t even get me started on the bread pudding dessert – that’s a story for another bite! Join the feast at Willow Street Pizza & Taproom, where every dish tells a tale of taste. 📍Willow Street Pizza & Taproom @willowstreetpizza 1072 Willow St, San Jose, CA 95125 #pizzapizzapizza #willowstreet #pizzaforever #burgerlovers #shortribs #pizzaholic #sanjosefoodie #sanjosefood #sjeats #bayareafoodie #italianfoodlover #italianfoods

    We had an enjoyable early dinner at Willow Street. The bar was fairly empty and quiet so we decided to take a table there. The bartender was excellent and did a great job with the martinis and food orders. So friendly and welcoming! We will definitely return to Willow St for the delicious food, drinks and wonderful service.

    The pizza is ok but not wonderful. The service is good and the ambiance ok. The grandchild couldn’t eat the marinara pasta as she said it didn’t taste good. We’ll still come here for convenience and it’s reasonably priced.
