State of Mind Slice House - Palo Alto (CA)

3 /5 J: For a pizza location, this business definitely ranks squarely in the middle. The pizza taste is comparable to some similar local pizza restaurants, but lacks in comparable crust and sauce flavoring. The crust tended to be a bit dry and grainy while the pizza itself was quite oily. The sauce did not have a distinct taste on any of the slices that we tried. This could, however, be because the pizzas were sitting out cold in the display case and they reheat your slice for you when you order in a single slice. Potentially ordering a full pizza or pizza to go might fix this issue for a tastier slice. However, the garlic knots were really tasty and quite large for garlic knots (perhaps more smaller ones per portion might be better?). The unique soda fountain flavors were fun to try and something that sets this location apart from similar pizza locations in the same area. That all being said, the food was on the more expensive side as compared to other locations with slice sizes not scaling comparably. The inside was not that clean with old plates, napkins, and oil on tables.

5 /5 Alexandra U: Wonderful pizza! Most are round thin pizzas, while the square ones have deliberately thicker crust with twice-risen dough. Many hipster flavor combos but also the marinara and pepperoni you know and love. They also have craft sodas on tap and It’s-Its in the freezer for dessert. Indoor and outdoor seating on site. Fun vibes, easy in and out, lots of parking, have fun!

4 /5 R Klinger: Good pies. They do have individual slice. Seating indoors and outside. Parking on side and behind building. Easy access. Beers on tap and by the can.

5 /5 Kevin Lopez: I came to State of Mind Slice House on the recommendation of a good friend who owns another pizzeria. I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of the heat and sweet. The crust had a great taste and was perfectly chewy and crunchy. Both slices were delicious. The only downside was the service. Those slices were so delicious that I wanted to order a whole pizza to take home for my family. There were two workers at the front that were standing there talking behind the register. I was standing at the front of the register with my card out ready to order. They completely ignored me for two or three minutes. A group of people walked in and one of the workers slid over to his right to take their order. The pizza is good, so I will go back again, but hopefully those two workers are not there when I do.

5 /5 Aja: Possibly the best Gluten Free Pizza Crust I have had from a restaurant. 12 x12 square thick dough with the crispy bottom. Husband got 2 slices and garlic knots. Alameda Beverage company lemonade and cream soda drinks.
