I have been frequenting Frankie Johnnie & Luigi Too for about 30 years. I grew up around Mountain View and can still remember waiting on the sidewalk at night just to order a Pizza to take home.
Through the years, the business grew larger and they have added on to the original Mountain View location. But unlike other businesses that grow, this one has retained it's quality and has earned my choice as best pizza I have eaten in my life. This honor is not easily won as I have consumed large quantities of both good and bad pizza over my time.
Recently, I took my in-laws to the Mountain View location and they said the lasanga was better than what they had in Italy. To this day, they eschew lasanga from any place else stating "it's not Luigi's"
Since I am partial to the Mountain View location, I drive from as far away as Richmond to get my fix. I have convinced some friends to try the Dublin location next, but I will always have a soft spot for the Mountain View Loc.
Can't miss eating spot.

This is my favorite pizza place in the South Bay. They have a pizza called the Amici' special which is a pizza with everyone on it. It is the best. Thin crust combination pizza.
which you would call new york style. They also have another pizza called the margerhita which is also great. You can order it without sauce. I take all of my
friends, visitors and colleages to Amici's

Round Table Pizza is decent enough, it tastes the same everywhere and you can always find a coupon. The thing that makes the Grant Road location stand out is the great play area they have for kids. It is clean, well stocked, and situated in an area that makes it difficult for little Houdinis to escape. The play area has several small tables with toys bolted down and a train table with the tracks bolted down. Toddlers can have lots of fun without "wrecking" the set-up. I take my son there once a week to meet friends for lunch, Round Table runs several lunch specials and they always serve the pizza very quickly. Plus the people who work there are very nice!

I've only had their pizza once so far, but I was pleasantly suprised! The crust was delicious and the sauce was good too. We got the veggie pizza and everyone who worked there was really friendly as well. I am an east coast pizza snob and I will definitely go here again. I would certainly recommend it. The calzones and strombolis look great too - the menu as lots to choose from, including a bunch of past dishes, fyi.

The Mazeh Restaurant says Mazeh Cafe on the outside, but it's really a restaurant, the one that has the white cloth (although covered by paper). Two owners, a husband and a wife, greet you, guide you through the menu and generally provide a great service. The restaurant has about a dozen tables, so it's a pretty small space, but it does get crowded closer to the evening, and from the interaction you could tell those were regular customers.
Parking is plentiful, since it shares the strip mall parking with Cost Plus World Market. The restaurant is clean, well kept and one of the walls is painted with a view of San Francisco.
The menu http://www.cafemazeh.com/ features a pretty wide selection of Mediterranean dishes, and healthy helpings of appetizers, as well as fusion-style pizzas with Persian and Mediterranean toppings. Lamb Chuala, which I tried, was presented on a sizzling skillet, like fajitas in Mexican places, with tender lamb, bell peppers and plenty of onions adding to the spicy mix.
While you're at it, try Turkish coffee. If you haven't tried it before, it will be a good experience. It's a bit sweet, but provides a quick energy boost and plenty of concentrated caffeine in a small cup.
The prices are reasonable with most of the dinner entrees ranging between $9 and $15. The lunch menu is available as well. I didn't feel like trying a dessert, but Persian Ice Cream looks like something worth trying on the next visit.

Is Mario's a busy lunch place? Yes
Is Mario's a bit noisy at lunch? Yes
Is Mario's a bit hard to find? Yes
Do you sometimes have to wait at the door? Yes
All that said, Mario's is a family-run, casual, lively, friendly lunchtime experience. It's a great value for your buck and a yummy treat for your tummy. The staff is friendly and wanting to please you (they never say no).
My coworkers pre-order and have their food waiting when they arrive.
Today I had cheese tortellini with pancetta and peas in a delicious creamy sauce served steamy hot. Tomorrow I'm going to try the chicken parmigiana (I haven't had a good parmigiana since I left New York).
The simple complementary dessert is a nice end to the meal. Thanks Mario's - I feel like I'm at one of my favorite restaurants in my hometown in New York.
