Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal - food court setting lacks intimacy and ambiance. Better for casual hangouts or group outings where creative pizza is the focus, not romance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed - counter service with first-come seating in shared California Marketplace rooftop area. Peak weekend dinner may require circling for a table.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - casual counter service, shareable pizzas, sweet desserts like banana pudding, and rooftop space where kids can move around. Perfect for families with children of all ages.
Best For
Better for: Creative Korean-fusion pizza flavors at unbeatable prices ($10 weekday specials). Choose Thanks Pizza when you want adventurous toppings like bulgogi in a no-pressure, family-friendly environment where kids are welcome and budgets stretch further.
Skip if: You want traditional Neapolitan pizza, white tablecloth dining, or romantic ambiance. Also skip if you need gluten-free options or prefer thin-crust styles - this is thick American-style pizza in a food court setting.
