Stuft Pizza - Milpitas, California

First time having food at Stuft Pizza. Sounds weird? Well, they have a pretty good beer menu so the first few times I was only here for beer. They were packed on a Friday night. My friends got there before me and we were fortunate to secure a table. We had to order at the counter since the QR code ordering on the table stops at 8:15pm.

We started “light” with a beer called “Room 237” from Spanish Marie Brewery. It’s classified as a Sour: Smoothie/Pastry. Certainly looked and tasted like a smoothie. I almost couldn’t believe this was beer and at 5% ABV. Then we had the “Barrel Aged Coconut S’mores” from Untitled Art. This smelled and tasted like a dessert. So yummy and dangerous at the same time because it had 17% ABV. Wish I had taken a photo cuz it was quickly consumed.

After all this, our food finally arrived. Since someone in our party does not eat pork so we got the garlic lemon chicken. The garlic was great, but I really did not taste any lemon. I also added cheese and chili pepper to the pizza, but I still felt something was missing. Maybe it seemed too healthy? lol. Not sure what we were thinking, perhaps it was under the influence of alcohol, we ordered bread sticks too. Pizza and bread sticks! That’s a lot of carbs. Mozzarella sticks would have been slightly better, but that’s our fault. Haha.

Overall, I thought their food was just okay. Their beers were better than their food, but that’s okay. I would go back for their beers and IBU Taproom is just next door.

Tasty pizza options, I got a personal thai chicken pizza. After tax and tip it's about $23 so value wise i wouldn't say it's the best and tbh with the name stuft pizza I would have thought the crust would have had cheese in it or there would be a lot of toppings but it's just regular pizza with maybe a little fluffier dough. Good place to watch a game and drink a beer

Food:
The Pizza here are pretty good. Some of the toppings don't stick onto the pizza. The dough to meat is good. The wings here are a little salty here. The ranch sauce taste good. The potato wedges are good too. The breadstick is more like a small cheese pizza.

Drinks:
Lots of tap beer available. There is also another room with specialty beer cans. Unfortunately, you can not bring the beers into different rooms.

Service:
Right when you walk in, you are greeted by what I assume is the owner. He will let you know where you can sit. You have to order from the cashier and they will bring the food to you. They are also quick to clear the table.

Seating:
Lots of seats. There is an exception that may turn a lot of people away. One, if you have a party of 5 or more. You will need to have the whole party there. They will not let you hold seats. The building has 2 sides and if you order alcohol, they do not let you cross sides. The positive thing is that the seats are all leather and comfortable.

Ambience:
Lots of televisions. Good for sporting events. The environment feels very upscale for a pizza place. Gets crowded during games but not busy during off times.

I can’t explain how good this pizza is! It’s my second time in a week!

The pizzas taste amazing, but the best bit is the base and crust. The base is so crunchy and crispy, but light and fluffy inside - with no burning at all. It’s perfect!

The toppings aren’t cooked as much as some, meaning the pepperoni doesn’t go greasy, and the vegetables still have some crunch which tastes fantastic.

I’ll definitely be back - best pizza in San Jose - better than my previous recommendation of JTown Pizza!

When i crave really good pizza I come to this place. I got a chicken pesto with jalapeños. The pizza had so much flavor and they actually put meat in it not like other places 2 chunks of meat in every slice lol. Wings were super moist and tender while crispy on the outside. Highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for really good pizza. The only thing I didn’t like is that it’s a big restaurant with a lot seating but they do not have servers and you have to place an order with a cashier and grab it from the counter when its done. Other than that, the food is really good.

Mediocre pizza at best that is way overpriced ($25 for a small). The sauce is as if it came out of a can and the toppings are thrown on top of the cheese. As a result, the cheese doesn't melt properly, gets no color and the toppings don't stick nicely in the pizza. The overall taste is also blunt.

Great thick and regular crust pizza and amazing selection of brew. Best place to watch sports. It has like 20 TVs playing different sports.
