Hands down without a doubt one of the most amazing places that I have had the privilege of delighting my taste buds into an insane ride of nothing but love passion deliciousness and flavor...... hands down 1000% recommend the loaded steak fries! And if you're going to go there you might as well just in the whole experience with a slice of some of the most delicious and outlandish pieces of a strawberry swirl delicious cheesecake and believe you me I really love cheesecake and this at the moment is by far the leader of all! You guys are really doing the best in the west LOL

Wonderful little pizza shop. Gluten free crust was very nice as well as the traditional crust! Caesar salad was top notch and we enjoyed the original cheesesteak as well. Loved the little patio seating on the side; just the cutest! Service was very friendly.

Solid place to have fresh pizza and cheese steaks. The bread is freshly made and you can tell as soon as you take that first bite. Employees were super nice and helpful. Dog friendly and they even gave my pup free pepperoni. Prices are on the steeper side but the location speaks volumes for it

Delicious pizza with fresh, high-quality ingredients! The crust is crisp yet tender, and the flavors are unique and well-balanced. Great vegan options too. Cozy spot in Hillcrest with friendly service definitely worth a visit!

The pizza is absolutely phenomenal here! The crust is crispy, chewy, and thin but sturdy enough to support whatever you choose to top it with. The Caesar salad was refreshing and perfectly dressed. The service has been fast and friendly every time we’ve stopped by - once we tried it we were hooked! Love that everything is halal, take all your friends here

Cute little pizza shop. Outdoor seating. Pizza was great. Thin crust. Bbq chicken with artichoke and a pepperoni bacon with hot honey. Both very good. Nice tasting crust and lots of topping. Great service.

Yall??? My girls n i flew in from Houston for a Lil vacay and this spot was on the itinerary for food. And boy did they serve up some smack pizza. Our server Karen was so sweet and patient with us, since yknow 12 girls it took us a WHILE to order. We took it to go and omg every pizza was sooo good. I'm telling you we devoured it not a single slice was left, if anything people were scraping the beef that fell off the pizza from the box bc they wanted every last nibble. The ranch was delish, and meat was done RIGHT. Halal pizza like this, with thin crust and made so so fresh , was rlly phenomenal

Finally had the chance to try Hillcrust Pizza! The pizza was a bit smaller than I expected and slightly on the pricey side, but the taste definitely made up for it. I really appreciate that everything on the menu is halal — that's a huge plus. The customer service stood out the most. The gentleman who greeted me was super friendly and seemed like a genuinely kind person who cares about getting to know his customers. It made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Looking forward to going back and trying some different pizzas. Hopefully next time we’ll get a chance to sit down and enjoy it fresh!
