Pizza Pirate - Benicia

Good solid tasty pizza, fresh ingredients, good selection of pizza combinations with medium thick crust. Fun atmosphere for kids, a local hangout with good customer service.

Read great reviews about this place so we drove out and ordered the Walk The Plank pizza and a regular salad. The chicken is claimed to be marinated in their creamy garlic sauce. Chicken tasted like plain unseasoned chicken. The garlic sauce was on the pie and had no garlic taste. It also said to have garlic on the topping, no garlic. The Italian sausage was flavorful and there was no cornmeal on the bottom of the pie which was wonderful, old school pies didn't use cornmeal. They also have a service charge for using a credit card.

I am particular about my pizza, and had pretty low expectations about a place with games, pirates, etc. I was happily surprised. This isn't artisan Italian pizza. And I didn't love the crust (I am picky about crust). But this was a delicious pizza, with a good crispy crust. The toppings were generous, and it wasn't sloppy with sauce. I definitely prefer this to any pizza from the usual chain operations. Staff were helpful and the wait time was very reasonable.

Have gone to many birthday parties at Pizza Pirate and have always thought it was a good venue for kids. BUT today I waited for bathroom...out came tall, big employee. I went in, there was urine all over the seat and floor. Thinking maybe not his fault then noticed toilet not flushed. Busted!! Do you think he washed his hands??? Told young lady about mess and she was very polite said she would get cleaned. I'm just not sure I can feel comfortable with another visit, ever!

1st time here. We ordered a salad with bread sticks and a medium pizza... chicken, tomato, green onion, fresh garlic, added sausage, with a cream sauce. The salad was pretty big. The bread sticks were quite old and dried out. The pizza had no flavor. Hardly any garlic, very little sausage, and chicken was bland. Not impressed, especially for the price. We got a medium to have left overs for lunch... wish we'd got much smaller.
