I've been going to mission pizza since they where on Ellsworth. Best Pizza in town.
I'm fond of the Tristin's BBQ chicken and the Mission Pesto. The copious amounts of fresh toppings is always appreciated.
The bar is also a highlight, with an ever-changing variety of, dare I say, gourmet beers. Definitely a beer lovers bar.
Phil is awesome and I've always appreciated the family owned ambiance of the place. You can tell it's run hands on.
Still trying to catch a bluegrass show here though. -

Everyone and their mother seems to have had Mission Pizza except me, and throughout high school I told myself I'd eat here and never did. I finally made it here recently and had a casual sit in dinner with a friend.
Pros: Extensive variety of toppings, and you can get them to make a half/half pizza for the price of the higher one. Super casual and lots of seating. We came on a Wednesday night so it was pretty empty. The walls are lined with beer bottles and the overall look is very traditional Americana.
Cons: The pizza itself wasn't that spectacular. I guess if you're in the area and have a hankering, it's a pretty good place to stop by, but nothing special. I still maintain that Pizza My Heart is far more delicious, but it's not nearby sadly.
Overall, not a bad spot to get some take out when you're hungry and need some quick dinner or just have a mad pizza craving. -

I used to love Mission Pizza in high school, and I mean, I still like it, but it doesn't seem as good as it did back then. Not quite sure why...
They have coupons on their website, but right now they're offering a Yelp deal, which is pretty neat :) The boy picked up a large Combination and Cordon Bleu. They were pretty good, but.. I'm not sure why it wasn't as good as I remembered. I think it had to do with the crust; it was more doughy than before. Eh. It's still good, but not my favorite anymore. Eating it DID bring back some nostalgic memories of high school, though... But without coupons/deals, I don't know if I'd come back. Sad days. -

I've been to Mission Pizza a couple of times now to have socials with friends, and each time they haven't disappointed. They are absolutely packed on weekend nights since there is usually a live local band playing music and a small corner bar area where sports games are usually cast.
The ambiance of Mission Pizza is great for any kind of informal get-together. Service is very friendly, and no one really kicks you out, even if it is packed. The walls are lined with any and every kind of beer bottle you can imagine -- I'm not much of a beer person myself, but even I found that kind of decor to be unique and cool.
As for the food itself, the garlic bread is amaaazing. (I know. Go to a pizza place and rave about their garlic bread? Whaaat?) But, trust me -- it. is. Our party demolished two large plates of those babies in no time at all. The pizza is decent; I like the BBQ Chicken pizza the best. Expect to wait a decent amount of time for your pizza, though, especially on busy nights. -

The pizza has taken a nose dive, but the beer selection, prices, and happy hour special is still one of the best. 3.5 stars for that since I'm an alcoholic.

My family and I went to Mission Pizza at complete random. We were looking for a halfway point to meet between San Jose and San Ramone, and this was the winning pick. Now, I wish I knew about the Yelp coupon!
As far as Bay Area pizza goes, this seemed relative to a Mountain Mike's, though I appreciate that Mission is not a chain. We ordered pizzas, calzones, and cheesy garlic bread that probably came from the heavens above. We went around lunchtime on an early weekday, yet the place was about half full. There was still a large table for us in the middle of the room, but the bar goers so early in the afternoon seemed a little out of place, and bothered me a little. We had a few little ones with us, and the teens wreaking of pot at the bar turned me off. At least they have a mini-arcade on the opposite side of the bar, so the tots could play.
The food was pretty good. Tasty pizza with a decent amount of grease. The veggie calzone had a puddle of water that pooled on the plate, sogging most of the crust, but was otherwise delish. For $2, you get unlimited drinks, and $1 for unlimited kids' drinks, and free water (of course), but they all had the same cup. That felt like a rip off, but for $2, I can't complain too much.
The best part was the bathrooms: clean!! We had a handicap member of our party, and the one-room stall was nice and spacious for the wheelchair. I would probably come back if I was a local, but I doubt I'll drive out of the way for it. -

Okay, so the pizza crust might be a little too crusty and it doesn't offer goat cheese as a topping, but it's got your basic classic pizzas like pepperoni or sausage and veggie combo complete with sliced black olives. A nice stopover after hiking up and down Mssion Peak. Wide range of beer offerings of both local and commercial beers. Lots of knick knacks on the walls to look at and comment on. Cute little stage. Tonight we were serenaded by the Bluegrass jam session. Friendly enough, straight forward service. I'd rather support a place like this in Fremont rather than Round Table or whatever.

Not the best food BUT a giant selection of beer on tap.
And most of it is AAA quality - wish they would bring back the beach port anniversary ale. The beer is also reasonably priced. -

Mission pizza is one of the best places for pizza in Fremont. My wife and I love pizza and recently moved to Fremont 10 months ago. We've tired just about every pizza place in the area and for Fremont it doesn't get any better!
The cheese bread is amazing! They also have a ton of beers on tap! I wouldn't say they are the best pizza in the bay area but definitely in Fremont! -

Best pizza in the bay...? Not really.
I think my expectations were way high, I was a bit disappointed by this place. We tried the BBQ pizza and the cheeseburger pizza, the BBQ was the only one worth mentioning. Don't get me wrong, it's good pizza, I just didn't find it to be great. The BBQ one was by far the best one and I might come back just for this one, but I wasn't overly impressed by this place.
A-OK describes this place very well! -

I've lived in Fremont forever, but I've never been here! Fun pizza place, we came on a Saturday night, and they have a live band playing. and the pizza is gooooood, we tried the Andomeda Galaxy pizza and it was loaded with stuff! Albeit the food took a while to come out so I was pretty much starving when it came. The crust was thick and crispy which I've never had before, but I really liked it!
We had 4 ppl and we finished a Large pizza it was so good. Great place for groups an families to get pizza and they have a wide selection of beers on tap plus a TV in the back, and as i mentioned the stage before. I'd defintely come back to try some more.Listed in: my fremont faves

If planet Melancholia was hurtling on a collision course with Earth, and you only had time for one more pizza before the end, and you were sojourned in northern California, specifically Fremont... then you must go for the Andromeda Skye Galaxy which is more thickly layered than any deep dish pan pie you have ever had: Garlic sauce, spinach, red onions, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, feta, green pesto in a very ornate Greek style concoction. Die another day for this pizza.

My buddies and I decide on pizza after getting together for a Sunday gold game. We play at different places in the bay are. This time we were in Fremont. Mission Pizza was our post game let your hair down choice. The pizza is middle of the road. The crust was good but the toppings were average quality. Don'ook.t get me wrong I am not trying to down the pizza because a couple of the guys really liked it. It was just not my favorite. They have a good beer variety which made everything okay in my b

They've got gluten free pizza and beer -- SOLD! They didn't have any Redbridge (my favorite GF beer) when I was here, only Bards Tail (yuck). But they had a few gluten free hard cider options, so that was cool. Always nice to be able to enjoy pizza & beer with friends!

I was looking forward to eating here. Got a deal off of LIving Social, $15 for $30 - good thing I had this, helped soothe things a bit. Unbelievably bad. I ordered the spicy wings and a medium Phil's combo.
Found a hair in my chicken! The pizza crust was too hard we were literally scraping off the toppings just to eat it....no use busting a crown on the thing (should have taken a photo and posted it here). Their crust can't hold a candle to lowly Costco's.
Good atmosphere and I guess if you're just going to drink beer since they do have a selection Other than that --- NA (Never Again!). Too bad, I really wanted it to be a place I can go back to again. Moving on.... -

Sad to say I was really disappointed for the FIRST time by my fellow Yelpers!! Surprised that this joint got 4 stars overall. We thought we'd give this place a try because we happened to be in the Fremont area and craved pizza and beer. Didn't think we could go wrong with a place that had so many great reviews and claimed - Pizza, Beer & Live Music!
PIZZA
I agree with everyone on one point - the toppings are delicious!! Other than that, the food here sucked big time.
I felt like we were in a different country tasting a totally different off-this-planet style of pizza (crunchy base with a sort've marshmallow look to it). Can't say it was bad - just not good! The wings were cooked well but again totally different to anything I've ever eaten.
BEER
Everyone loved the beers - hence the three stars. The pitchers were priced well ($15 / pitcher) for the quality of the beers on tap. Sad they didn't have a full bar for other drinks though.
LIVE MUSIC
Last but not least, the band. They were super awesome, if you enjoy blue grass music. My Dad would've loved it. Average age across the musicians was ~80. Enough said. -

Hands down the best pizza ever!
Willy's Wild Veggie is my favorite. I was a little apprehensive at first about the strange topping combos. But...it is unbelievable! ! My hubby loves the 55 Bacon Cheesburger & the 40 special chicken. The atmosphere is loud and fun.. which makes for a great family joint. The kids love the arcade games too!
And.. they have a GREAT beer selection on tap!! We also tried their own Mission Black IPA. It was pretty good. =) -

So far wow. The topping are really great, though the crust is oddly tough. Still a pretty decent pie. Amazing beer selection and live bluegrass music some nights. It takes a long time to get those pies out so I would recommend calling ahead even if you want to eat in.

Easily my favorite pizza place in Fremont, helped along by its frequent promotions. The first time I ate here was on a Groupon, and I've also gotten it through Google Offers and now the Yelp deal. But this place has its own coupons every day of the week, and I've found myself willing to eat here on those everyday coupons even though the discount isn't as steep (and it's rare that I ever revisit a place I came to on a Groupon).
These pizzas are extremely filling and they do not skimp on the toppings. Love the weird varieties they have--you can't find these anywhere else. I've tried Andromeda Skye's Galaxy, Kim's Hearts and Garlic, and 40's Special Chicken. Looking forward to eating my way through the rest of the menu... -

So my hubby and I came here after hearing good reviews about this place. It was a Friday and everything else in Fremont seemed so boring, as Fremont often can be. So, we go here and the place was packed. It was a little before 7. So, my hubby stands in line to order and I went and found us a place to sit. I'd say like 30 minutes after we got there, seats were realllllllllllly tight. We ordered a meat lovers pizza, beers, and sodas. I loved the beers they had on tap and their bartender let us sample the beers before we committed to a full glass. Love. The pizza took a while to get to us, but that was ok since we were having beers and b-s'ing about whatever. I like places that make you feel like you are "out and about" and this place did make me feel that. The pizza was delicious. It was completely packed with meat of every kind. We ate about half of it there and took the other half home. I seriously loved eating the leftovers the next day...it still tasted really good even the next day. Nothing like leftover pizza. I will definitely be back here on a Friday when in the mood for pizza....

Mission Pizza is awesome, I try to hit this place when I'm around.
But anyways, as far as the pizza goes, really good stuff. The Tristen's BBQ pizza is awesome, as is every other pizza they have.
pro-tip - they have coupons on their website, you can just access them on your smartphone and show them to the person at the register without having to actually print them out. Sunday is double-coupon day btw. -

Visited on a Sunday for dinner and took advantage of double coupon day. Well didn't we just ride that lil horsey right down to town. Anyway, mostly come here for the bacon cheeseburger pizza. It comes with mustard sauce instead of pizza sauce. Really tasty. Their combos and meat pizzas look really good too but we mainly just come for the burger pizza.
They have a decent salad bar. And their soda fountain has rc cola and diet rc cola.
Staff here are super chill. They accepted our coupon from the cell phone screen but warned that we have to print them next time. They also wrapped up leftovers and split up the portions as requested. -

Yum. This is one of my favorite pizza places in the Bay Area. We always get the pepperoni and sausage and it is awesome! They have a great selection of beer, there is rarely a wait to get a table, and the atmosphere is great. It's always entertaining when they have live music playing. If you're in the area and in the mood for pizza and beer, give Mission Pizza a try!

Hands down my favorite place for pizza to this day. I started ordering from Mission Pizza back in middle school, when my tutor who's located just behind them always bought it to treat us on the last day of classes, about 10ish years ago, and to this day, it still tastes the same (which is a good thing). They do the pepperoni pizza just right; I don't know why it tastes better than any other pepperoni pizza I've ever had, but it just does. Don't forget to get the ranch on the side!
I always order my pizzas to-go from here and my parents usually pick it up for me, so I can't really say much about the service. They're a bit slow at times, but my parents just give them a bigger time slot before they go pick it up, so no worries!
Tip: They have coupons on their website, and if you go on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, it's double off the coupon value! -

Nothing against the joint, but I realized I really don't care for Americanized pizza. The doughy bread-like crust turns me off. (It's reminiscent of cheap fast food pizza to me.) Just a caveat that this is the style of pizza crust they make here--NOT New York style, NOT Chicago style, but American style.
The beer my friends and I had was good though. Didn't get the name, but it was a light beer with hints of tangerine. Try it, they give samples! -

This place can get packed pretty fast, especially on nights. They usually have live music playing too. This pizza place has a "bar" kind of feel to it. My favorite pizza is Andromeda's Galaxy!
Andromeda's Galaxy: Garlic Sauce, Spinach, Red Onions, Black Olives, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Greek Peppers, Sausage, a sprinkle of Feta, and a spiral of Pesto on top!
This pizza place is really close to highway 680 and also really close to my house :D! My friends and I are frequent consumers of their pizza! -

Topping was great (Andromeda Galaxy), but the crust was an epic fail for us. (I had no idea there was such a thing as "American style pizza crust", and that's what they use, per other reviews I've read here.) For $30 (bought a med AG and a small cheese & olive, with a coupon), I expected much better, especially with 3 friends tonight recommending it to me on facebook.
Crust was flat, like premade frozen. No body or texture to it. Although the toppings are varied and sound great (and, there are vegetarian and gluten-free options), crust is important to us.
We already have a fave pizza restaurant here in Fremont, but wanted to find a backup/see what else is out there. Will continue looking, this wasn't it. -

Went here yesterday evening for a club social. Friday night is PACKED. There was live music playing (country---a local band, actually, since I knew one of the members), and the place was packed! Of course, the food is delicious and they have a wide selection of beers to choose from. The atmosphere definitely reminds me of a country / classic American feel. I guess I mention this because in a city that is mostly Indo-Asian, this kind of white atmosphere isn't all that common in Fremont.
I had a great time here, and would definitely come back again. I kind of wish they had more patio tables outside, since the summer night weather is perfect for just chatting with some friends outside over some beer.
I would have given this a five star, but the service was only mediocre. Probably has to do with the fact that this place was PACKED when we went and they were understaffed to handle the crowd.
TIPS: If you come with a big group, especially on a Friday night, come early to grab a table! Also, if you want to save some money, check out their website and come during happy hour (if you want to drink) or during one of the coupon days if you want to eat. -

We went here today to meet at a decent midway point with the SIL and FIL. My gluten free masala pizza was actually pretty good. I really love how gf crusts are usually sweeter than usual. It's a pretty innovative pizza and quite spicy. The rest of the family shared two different veggie pizzas. They said the dough wasn't as good as the gf crust. It was a little doughy. The artichoke tasted a little pickled... So they weren't fresh. I guess for the area though this place is pretty good.
Oh... What's up with the RC Cola? No comparison to diet coke...blach!!
The salad bar was pretty sad. Especially in such a great produce area. Seriously iceberg and mealy tomatoes do not a salad make.
It was a really busy day (a Grad party took over part of the restaurant) so I forgive the 45 minute wait... -

The pizzas are so delicious when hot.!!!! We always get 1/2 gourmet veggie (slices of tomatoes and artichoke hearts) and 1/2 combo.
Pizza is a bit pricier than most, but well worth it (always use a coupon). Sunday thru Tuesday are double coupon days.
No delivery.
We always pick-up, but there is a live band on Fridays and the weekend and the place is always packed. -

I'm pretty certain the first time I set foot in Mission Pizza, I was a mo-hawk sportin' "know-everything" 14 year old jackass. That hasn't changed too much, and fortunately neither has Mission Pizza. It's great being a regular here again.
The pizza is as creative and delicious as it's always been. Those pizza's that make you wince when you look at the menu, order them, they're absurdly delicious, the cheeseburger pizza being my favorite.
One of the few places in Fremont that supports the micro/craft brew movement, if you're looking for great beer, you've found the right place. Happy Hour is a beer lovers dream come true. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... Old Rasputin on nitro...
Live country or bluegrass music, and an exceedingly friendly atmosphere, it's easy to kill a few hours here, and leave very satisfied and anxious for a return visit. -

Went here on Friday, First thing on my mind was where the heck this place is at? LOL eventually find the place very Americanize and OMG this place was packed right away obviously it was on Friday Night. There was live country music, very chill and loud place I don't know how that combination even work, but I ain't complaining though haha.
Came here with a friend for some club thingy and the pizza was pretty good surprising except for the fact we were charge with drink that we didn't know since I was looking for water F*** next time I know
Also you have to come here early if you want pizza or hanging out and stuff because this place like I mention is packed right away. Also lot of people smoke outside prepare to hold your breath or have an inhaler with you just FYI. -

5-stars for amazing service at the bar!
Headed over to meet a friend at Mission Pizza after work to get some $3 Happy Hour pints. The lady that helped me was very nice and offered to let me taste some different beers so I could make a well informed decision. What really blew me away though was when I couldn't decide between Old Rasputin and Pranqster she offered to pour me half a pint of Pranqster now and when I finished she would pour me the other half pint of Old Rasputin. That is service at its best!!! on top of being very flexible to my indecisiveness she poured very generous amounts (well over 2/3rds full in the pint glass).
I also ordered some rib tips which while not amazing definitely was some good food to snack on while enjoying some quality craft brews.
On a side note I would say the pizza toppings are high quality and delicious though the crust is a bit lacking for me (3.5 stars if based on the pizza)
Even then 5-stars for the best service I've ever had at a "bar" and 32 well chosen beers on tap. -

I'm not familiar with this area at all, but I was in town to paint at Color Me Mine with a friend and we were hungry after. We used phone apps to find food nearby and Mission Pizza was the best sounding thing close by. I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere here is so cool! There's all different kinds of beer taps and bottles decorating the walls. All different kinds of beer paraphernalia decorating the whole place, even the bathroom! There's also an old school barber chair in the women's bathroom which is kinda weird, but interesting.
The food was good, I got a personal pizza and garlic bread with cheese, and my friend got a calzone. We thought all of it was great. I love the laid back atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. The service was a little slow, but at least there's lots of entertaining things to look at while you wait :) If I'm ever back in town I'll definitely go there again! -

Do people come here for the pizza, the live band, or the hundreds of beer they have on tap, or all of the above? I don't know!!
We came here for lunch because one of our born-and-raised-in-Fremont co-worker told us there is barley beer served all year round. At noon, this place looks a little divvy and run down. With a teeney tiny counter you go to place your order, and a little tiny bar next to it. The decor almost seems tacky, with all kinds of museum level beer taps on the ceiling, every beer can and bottle you can name from every era on the wall, and tonnes of juke boxes against the wall. But I am sure with the right lighting and the live band, this place will look awesome at night.
The pizza here is actually quite phenomenal. I adored the Andromeda Galaxy! Their cheesey garlic bread is also wonderful. A great little joint!Listed in: Places Caleb W. went with me
