New Pizza Joint Opens In San Carlos

SAN CARLOS, CA — Pizza Guys, a pizzeria that serves up such unique pies as the Serrano Chili, the Impossible Beef Artichoke Pesto and the Curry Chicken Delight, opened its newest location this month on El Camino Real in San Carlos.

The menu offers specialty and create-your-own pizzas, with Tuscany-thin, thick or gluten-free crusts and such topping choices as cup-crisp pepperoni, grilled chicken, bacon, beef, spinach, pineapple, cilantro, onions, olives, Roma tomatoes, chopped garlic and basil.

Along with pizzas, the restaurant serves salads, flatbreads, wings, pastas, desserts and beverages. An array of dipping sauces include creamy pesto, marinara, ranch, chipotle and kogi, with such extras as anchovies and jalepenos.

The Sacramento-based Pizza Guys chain was launched in 1986 by founders who endeavored to craft pizzas with East Coast flavors and fresh California ingredients, according to management.

The business now operates more than 75 stores primarily in California, including locations in Santa Clara and San Jose.

Owner of the San Carlos shop, Huan Hoang, plans on opening additional locations in Menlo Park, Mountain View and Sunnyvale in the future, the company said.

Hoang said he was drawn to the Pizza Guys franchise as he knows a good pizza pie.

“When I first came here from Vietnam, one of the first foods I ate was pizza,” he said. “It has since become a very nostalgic food for me, and I can always tell a good cheese pizza when I see one. I developed a love for the pizza industry and the Pizza Guys products, in general."

The new business, at 796 El Camino Real, is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Menu can be viewed and orders placed online here.
