It’s Friday night. You could stare at your phone, endlessly scrolling through delivery apps while your stomach rumbles – or you could go get real pizza. You need a place that’s weekend-ready, though: worth the drive, not too fancy, and authentic enough that every bite feels like a celebration. Here are 11 of our favorite spots for a perfect pizza night in Concord.
Round Table Clubhouse
$ | (925) 676-1818 | WEBSITE
When you want to have a miniature Saturday night in the middle of your week, head to Round Table Clubhouse in Concord. It has a clubhouse atmosphere with plenty of parking, and while the space is lively with families and events, you still won’t feel like you’re out having dinner in a stuffy restaurant. Order a few pizzas (including vegetarian and gluten-free options) and a beer from the self-pour taps after your first glass.
The staff is really friendly, and manager Brian’s attentive service will help you forget that your work week isn’t over yet.
Mountain Mike’s Pizza
$ | (925) 689-4965 | WEBSITE
Head to Mountain Mike’s Pizza for great pizza in a space that feels fun, despite actually being pretty spacious. There’s a huge, welcoming game room right when you walk in, and we’ll understand if you decide to stop there. But the main dining area, decorated with family-friendly booths and bright lighting, feels laidback and inviting even when it’s busy.
Focus on the pizzas (like the standout pepperoni), all of which are cooked to perfection, and don’t ignore the daily specials like the ‘All You Can Eat Lunch’ with its fresh salad bar.
by the slice pizza
$ | (925) 671-2777 | WEBSITE
By the Slice Pizza is a Concord pizza spot with a focus on generous toppings (like the popular “kitchen sink” and “Hawaiian” pizzas) and fantastic crust and sauce. But our favorite things here are the consistent details, like the perfectly textured dough and the over-the-top toppings. They continue to offer great value, so while you’ll still feel like you’re getting quality pizza, it’s now pizza with friendly owners and prompt delivery.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (925) 676-6900 | WEBSITE
Little Caesars Pizza knows you don’t want to spend a fortune on dinner tonight. Or wait an hour for your food. So they offer both at their Concord location, a straightforward counter-service spot with easy parking. The simple menu has a few varieties of ready-to-go pizzas (all of which come with generous cheese and your choice of toppings), plus those cheesy crazy bites.
Stick with the counter for a quick pickup, or use the convenient parking (which accommodates larger vehicles perfectly) if you’re grabbing food for the whole family.
iSlice Pizza
$ | (925) 510-2904 | WEBSITE
If you miss grabbing a quick slice after school, you’ll appreciate iSlice Pizza in Concord. The space feels like a simple, clean neighborhood spot, and the pizza has that same straightforward appeal. You can get a classic cheese slice for $3.95, and a pepperoni for $4.45 that reminds us of those floppy, cheesy slices we loved as kids (in a good way). Vegan cheese not included.
Pizza Twist
$ | (925) 609-4040 | WEBSITE
This Concord spot is one of our favorite pizza places in the entire area. It serves incredible pizza, cooked until the crust is perfectly fresh-tasting. You can’t go wrong with any of the pies here, and the space feels fun and laidback no matter how busy it gets. If you can score a seat near the pool table or arcade games, even better.
Bambino’s Restaurant & Bar in Concord – pasta, pizza, full bar and tap room
$$ | (925) 687-6363 | WEBSITE
Bambino’s Restaurant & Bar is exactly where you want to be after a long day at work. The attentive service and cozy atmosphere make it relaxing, and the pizza is delicious across the board. Get the perfectly cooked crust pizza with fresh toppings, the seafood appetizers, some pasta, or whatever else appeals – it will all be very, very good. And you’ll enjoy it even more if you’re sitting in the casual tap room catching the game.
MOD Pizza
$ | (925) 452-6190 | WEBSITE
MOD Pizza is a build-your-own pizza spot offering a casual dining experience in Concord. The seating is mainly at simple tables and booths, with plenty of space for groups. Stop here for the Italiano pocket pie, or a Tristan pizza on cauliflower crust. Grab a seat by the window and watch the parking lot activity while you wait for your custom creation.
Round Table Pizza
$$ | (925) 673-3535 | WEBSITE
Few things are better after a long day (or anytime, really) than a perfect pizza, and this spot in Concord has one of our favorites. It also has service that’s a lot more impressive than what you’ll find at your typical chain pizza place. Order their Garden Delight Veggie pizza with that consistently great crust, or experience hospitality so genuine it could easily rival upscale hotels. Because Round Table Pizza understands that sometimes you want service that feels more personal than takeout.
Pizza Guys
$ | (925) 682-9999 | WEBSITE
This Concord spot offers a menu of great-value pizza with the option to customize toppings at a low cost. Grab some friends and share a large 1 topping pizza for $20, along with some pieces of delicious (and fresh) vegetarian options. Eating solo with a crunchy bacon thin crust pizza is also a great idea.
Strictly To Go Pizzeria
$ | (925) 671-2777 | WEBSITE
We’re still trying to find a day when we don’t want to order from Strictly To Go Pizzeria. It feels like the perfect neighborhood pizza spot, and it’s ideal for grabbing a quick dinner to enjoy at home. All of their pizzas are good, but the best strategy is to go with options you might not find anywhere else, like the half Hawaiian and half combination. And you’re going to need that delicious thick crust every time. Trust us on that.
