Always down for some East Coast style pizza, and this place was recommended by a friend. Let's just say this friend has now made my Christmas card list. This place was amazing!!!! I ordered two pies, both came out super crispy on the crust and just the right amount of toppings. They even had Sweet-Hot Peppers, which I love.Bob and Julie the owners were super friendly as I asked about all the Philly decor on the wall. Turns out Bob is from the city of brotherly love, and Julie is a local from the Creek. Made me feel at home.If your looking for some good East Coast pizza.....go elsewhere. panCoast is the best place for East Coast pizza, nothing less than fantastic pies. Haven't tried the Cheese steaks, but it is most certainly on my list to get next. More...

Wanted to stop here for months now, with/for my daughter who is gluten free. Â I was solo today after a brief Kaiser visit, thought a slice would be nice. Â I was too early so ordered a salad to go.The best arugula ever! With perfect amount of almonds sliced, and cheese. Filling, healthy, delicious.Crew on staff (owner?) were polite and clean, masked, quick. Â The best arugula salad ever! More...

Pancoast  is the best! It's our favorite pizza in the area. Their gluten free option is great too.

Good Pizza! Check out their daily Bob specials for something beyond the usual combo pizza. They don't skimp on toppings, and the sauce is tasty! I have been going there weekly for a few years and I've never had a bad pie! More...

If they approached me and asked how was my hogey sandwich, I would have said in my gordon Ramsay accent that, it was utterly tasteless and dreadful, i looked at the dough and it was charred  with little black soot, and the meatballs, fake and rubbery as it can get. I should have have walked to the subway around the corner and gotten a meat ball marinara footlong, if Ide known that it was going to be that same kind of quality, at least I wouldn't be waiting 15 minutes to get a simple sandwich done at subway, absolutely unnerving. Never again More...

Pancoast pizza not only has the best New York style pizza around. But their cheese steaks and chicken cheesesteaks are amazing! In my opinion, since they make their own fresh bread, their cheesesteaks are better than the cheesesteak shop. More...

I've reviewed panCoast before but I have to change my review. Let me start with saying, I'm not a big pizza fan. It's not my go-to food. The only time I want pizza is when I'm drunk. But panCoast? My relationship with panCoast is different. I want it! I crave it! I NEED IT!!!! The flavors are spot on! It's like I'm in Italy. We ordered the Marguerite with pepperoni last night after my son's water polo practice. We couldn't wait to eat it so we sat in the car and devoured it. Very simple yet very flavorful! Real mozzarella - it's not the shredded kind. The tomato sauce - fabulously zesty and not overly spiced. Â The crust is perfect! Thin but not like a cracker. It's got perfect chew. I can't say enough things about their pizza. I woke up this morning hoping they'd be open because I happen to be in the area at 9:30am. Darn. Not open yet. Thank you for existing in my life! More...

Love their pizza. It's the closest to the East Coast (New Jersey) thin pizza I was brought up on and love. You could fold it in half. Real Jersey pizza the grease from the cheese  would drip down your your arm. This is close. Try it you will like it! More...

For $10 you get a giant cheesesteak with tons of meat. They do not skimp you! Although the meat could be a bit more tender, it was still good. It also comes with sweet & spicy peppers which added a nice blend of flavors. My fave part is the melted cheese. Mmmmm cheese. I ate the whole thing in one sitting and it almost killed me (in terms of fullness), but it was so worth it. Next time I'll save the other half for later so I can enjoy it twice. Super friendly staff - the kind you would want to be friends with. Outdoor seating available out front & I believe in the back as well? Will have to come back & try their pizzas. Sadly, the oven was broken the day I went. More...

Ordered online about half an hour before they opened and scheduled for delivery. The delivery time was scheduled for noon and the pizza arrived at my apartment a few minutes before the scheduled time! Wow I've never had a pizza arrive early! Fast and FREE delivery (within 5 mile radius).We got the Golden Gate pie and added salami, as well as a couple meatballs and garlic knots to try. The meatballs were supposed to be ricotta stuffed They didn't seem stuffed at all, maybe the ricotta is mixed into the meat mixture, but they had great flavor. I wish the garlic knots were more garlicy! But the dough was nice and soft. Mmm now the pizza was so good.. all of the ingredients tasted fresh and not greasy or heavy. I would order that again in a heartbeat. More...

We got some slices of pepperoni pizza late night. I'm originally from NJ and just moved here a few months ago and this pizza reminded me of home!

I used to love this place but .. I don't know anymore. The last 9 out of 10 times (literally - I kept track) we asked for the pizza to be cut into 8 slices and it wasn't. The usual apology would ensue which would come down to waiting another 20 minutes for another pie or taking a few dollars off for the mistake. A mistake that keeps happening for some reason. Also, it and they don't clean the pizza oven enough during operating hours as the bottoms of the pizza keeps having burnt bits of flour/meal making the slices slightly acrid tasting.I used to love this place but making a special request seemingly never gets honored and not enough oven clearing leaves the pizza lackluster. I'm saddened by this but this is California. I'll never get my NYC-style pizza unless I go back home I guess. Oh well. It was good whole it lasted. More...

Wit...or wit out....it don't matter....this place BRINGS IT! Â East Coast food & East Coast atmosphere with a west coast flavor! Â Went on back to back days a month ago...and have been meaning to do this for a bit.Son & I killed a Pizza and a pitcher of KILLER North Coast IPA beer the 1st night...and got the full "Philly" experience. Â Great food, direct service....and a pizza chef with a beer and couple F bombs! Â PHILLY BABY! Â Found out the next night when we brought a group of 10 in for pizza, cheese steaks, garlic knots, hoagies, salads & more...that it was the owner there the night before bringing the full Philly experience. Â Having been to Philly, we were thankful for that.May not always be the best organized at the point of order....and looks a bit chaotic in the kitchen at times....but that is part of the Philly ambiance. Â What matters is GREAT FOOD & GREAT BEER.....and a family and team that care about providing something unique to our area. More...

KEEP PANCOAST OPEN! Â PLEASE TELL OUR CITY LEADERS TO ALLOW OUR SMALL BUSINESSES TO SOLICIT TO OTHER OPEN BUSINESSES. The retailers are closed and Pancoast is our few remaining independent small businesses. After six months of Walnut Creek lack of urgency with expansions and regulations, CORVID 19, strikes. Â Take out only adoption plan takes place. Â Help keep open.How bout, Feed Kasier healthcare workers across the street?Donate Salads, Pizza, Hoagies, Cheese steaks.Did you try the decadent meatballs sandwiches, chicken parm, garlic knots omg. Â The Stromboli is restricted in my home as habit forming.Pizza is a must but the chef training kicks in the deeper into the menu you discover. GET TIPSY and order take out and send to anyone. 5 mile radius is FREE delivery, I believe. Â What if Kasier or John Muir front line workers had adonated pizza or two, show up daily?

I have stopped by for a sluce and a beer about 5 times. Here is my experience:Slice: Â okay sauce, inconsistent doneness on the crust, really light on toppings. Decent flavor. Not wow, just good Beer: they always have some great beer on tap. Â A pint is $7.00, which is sort of the going rate. However, they serve it in a plastic cup. PLASTIC. Not a Glass, a plastic cup. That is a total deal breaker.Last straw: Ordered pizza to pick up. Pizza not on time so I had to wait and was again served beer in a plastic cup. Pizza came out with wrong toppings. Got it home, edges of crust overdone, middle underdone. There are a lot of places to buy pizza in town. And most of them will pour your $7.00 beer in a GLASS. More...
