Tommy's Famous A Pizzeria

i give tommy's a 3 star because the food was good. if it had been average, then i would give it a 2 star.

i found the manager to be kind of an asshole to us at the table because we were from out of town. he was trying to insult us, thinking that we were city slickers from the north. the funny thing is, we were all from the south and country folk to boot.

there were 3 couples. and when we went to pay, there was a 10 percent service charge on the bill. we asked if this was the tip included or what? we were told it was a service charge for having a group of 6. the service charge did not go to the waiter, it went to the establishment. we were like, oh okay, we just want to make sure we give a tip to the waiter.

the the owner/manager, whoever he was with the beard, who seemed annoyed by our question about the bill, proceeded to explain to us, and i quote, "we try to discourage groups of 6 or more from eating here because that group will back up the kitchen and then the next order will be backed up and so forth."

at the time, we really didn't care about the service charge, we just wanted to make sure we tip the waiter. but then after we got home, we realized what a stupid thing to say to your patron's. he basically told us, we weren't welcome at his restaurant.

by the smart bearded guys logic, each couple should have just all sat at our own tables instead of together, then there would of still been 6 of us there, just not at the same table. then we wouldn't of been charged a 10 percent fee for sitting together. and some how this would of made the kitchen workload lighter???

all of this makes no sense to me at all. but i have learned to laugh at all the ridiculous people and things i come across.

the phrase, "we try to discourage..." made us laugh and laugh later that night.

While traveling from California through Mountain View, we discovered Tommy's Pizza.  We had the House Special Pizza and it was the best pizza we've had in a long time.  Walking through the screen door was the first clue that the restaurant had a different vibe. And Nick, who seemed to be in charge and certainly a cool dude, gave us great, friendly service.  On return trips, we will be sure to eat at Tommy's Pizza again and again.

This place is definitely a funky, must go place if you're in the area. The BBQ sandwich was super yummy and the fresh pizza did not disappoint. The atmosphere is fun and unique and the staff are definitely some fun characters!
