Best pizza in the South Bay, though ~ $10 a slice. Worth getting a whole pizza. Incredibly delicious crust on the Detroit style pizzas and great topping choices. Great service and chill ambiance in DTSJ

I found my favorite pizza in the Bay Area , and I loved it enough to order it three months in a row--especially surprising since I don't usually eat much pizza. I'm also not usually a fan of thick Detroit-style pizza, but this one is an exception. The crust is incredibly crispy, the bread feels lighter than most, and the toppings are excellent. That said, my favorite pizza at this shop is their New York-style Beehive pizza, which comes with a mix of different meats. I loved the touch of orange blossom honey and orange zest on top! They use high-quality ingredients for their handcrafted pizzas and provide detailed descriptions of each ingredient online when you place an order. So, it's understandable that their prices are on the higher end--but given the consistently delicious flavors I've experienced, it's worth it!

Got one slice of the Detroit pizza and it was AMAZING! The worker was really nice and laidback. There were several options to try but this pizza is definitely filling! We loved getting it the SOH style where they added the unique toppings (honestly doesn't need any extra sauce). Overall, great place and can't wait to be back.

Was recommended this place by a friend and man it did not disappoint. Located in downtown San Jose with a parking garage that's 5 minutes from the place. First 90 minutes are free at the garage. Upon entering the restaurant it was already busy. Mind you I came right when it opened at 11:30am on a Friday. The people are amazing and very hospitable. 2 man crew offering amazing service and were very kind. Had the Detroit vs Everybody deep dish and it was delicious. The sprinkle I believe was parmesan cheese with some ricotta as well. The place is small, but busy. You can order online as well, but they are very efficient. My favorite pizza spot.

Have been wanting to try this place and finally got a chance. Inside is small but they do have cute murals. Seems like mostly a take and go type place. They do offer by the slice which I wish I realized before I ordered because getting a mini Detroit style pizza was pretty expensive. The pizza itself was good. Fluffy/doughy, nice crust on the outside, good sauce, and cupping pepperoni, everything you'd expect from Detroit style. But honestly the price wasn't worth it for me. We also tried their buffalo wings which were cooked very well. Crispy yet tender and a little smoky with plenty of sauce. If I come back it's definitely going to be by the slice for a cheaper option. A mini Detroit pizza is 4 slices. My other issue with this place is that they have their card machine set to 20%, 22%, 25% tip automatically. So if you want to leave something less you'd have to click the custom option. I'm all for tipping because minimum wage is ridiculous but seriously for a mostly take out place 20% is kinda crazy to me.

3 pizzas for $140 would normally make me scoff. But with these guys, I have no problem giving them my money. Why? Because they are worth it. Prior to trying Slice of Homage, I didn't even know what "Detroit" style pizza was. If I could explain the crust it's similar to deep dish but it's much more airy and almost focaccia like (but denser) in texture. And the bottom has that crunch factor. Think of Pizza Hut Pan pizza back in the day only this is much more bourgeois. If you've never had Slice of Homage before, do yourself a favor and come here. I ordered 3 of these bad boys for a gathering and we loved it all. These are the pizzas we got: *Detroit Vs. Everybody: Grain Craft flour, SOH Four-Cheese House Blend*, Genoa salami, roasted mushroom, bacon, fresh-pinched Fontanini® sausage, Rosa Grande® pepperoni. Finished with Stanislaus vine-ripe tomato sauce, whipped Ricotta con Latte®, TRULY® 100% garlic-infused EVOO, basil chiffonade, and freshly grated Grana Padano DOP*. *SOH Four Cheese House Blend: Point Reyes Farmstead Toma, Buholzer Brothers Wisconsin Brick, Grande East Coast Blend, Monterey Jack and roasted garlic. *Grana Padano DOP: is a part-slim hard cheese made from cows milk, aged for at least 9 months.-- Don't get intimated by these ingredients. All you need to know is one bite in, you're going to be sold. High quality all the way and the whipped Ricotta cheese on top is what pushes this one over the edge. You'll understand why this is one of their most popular pizzas. *CTS: Grain Craft flour, SOH Four-Cheese House Blend*, Genoa salami, canadian bacon, bacon, fresh-pinched Fontanini® sausage, Rosa Grande® pepperoni. Finished with Stanislaus vine-ripe tomato sauce, TRULY® 100% garlic-infused EVOO, and freshly grated Grana Padano DOP*. *SOH Four Cheese House Blend: Point Reyes Farmstead Toma, Buholzer Brothers Wisconsin Brick, Grande East Coast Blend, Monterey Jack and roasted garlic. *Grana Padano DOP: is a part-slim hard cheese made from cows milk, aged for at least 9 months. If you love bacon, you'll love this one. *Red Head: Grain Craft flour, SOH Four-Cheese House Blend*, Rosa Grande® pepperoni, Swiss American cupping pepperoni. Finished with Stanislaus vine-ripe tomato sauce, TRULY® 100% garlic-infused EVOO, and freshly grated Grana Padano DOP*. *SOH Four Cheese House Blend: Point Reyes Farmstead Toma, Buholzer Brothers Wisconsin Brick, Grande East Coast Blend, Monterey Jack and roasted garlic. *Grana Padano DOP: is a part-slim hard cheese made from cows milk, aged for at least 9 months. This is your atypical pepperoni. Why do I say atypical? Because it's Detroit style. All that carb-y goodness from the dough along with the crunchy bottom, melted cheese and thick slices of pepperoni. So much yes. Come support a small business.. This review is long overdue as I've been here on several occasions now and wouldn't hesitate to come back. Did I mention that eating the pizza as leftovers are just as good?
