Olive Grove Pizza Cafe

BEST meat loaf sandwich I have EVER had. The price is great to since you get a salad with it — no way someone can eat the sandwich on there own. The also have a great special chicken and pesto — yum yum

Not great, but close to work. I get coffee there … and when I’ve starving the chicken over rice.

sandwiches, soup, and italian fare (pizza, calzones, lasagna, meatloaf with marinara sauce). You can’t really go wrong with the sandwiches but the italian items tend to be greasy and heavy. I only come here when I crave meatloaf.

Wow. That was really not good. At all.
I had the «meatball calzone». I’ve been expecting the food poisoning to kick in hard for the past 3 hours, and can’t quite get the calzone out of my head.

The food is cheap and fast. Pizza is so-​so, but the turkey sandwiches rock — real chunks off a real bird — white and dark meat. Fast service accomodates short lunch breaks. Parking in the area is convenient.

I am seriously gonna blow some chunks in a few. I have never ever been to a place that is forcing me to go bulimic but the Olive Grove is cutting it close.
We order lunch from here frequently and get it delivered because we have a company account, are too cheap of a company to get better food elsewhere, and frankly, I wouldn’t waste my mileage or time picking food up for this company, so yes, delivery from the Olive Grove is the way to go.
The food here is very cheap ($ 4.75/head). They try to provide decent well rounded complete lunch meals (sandwiches and salads). It’s also a pizza parlor. The pizza is complete crap (I don’t know about the taste buds in my office). Its a wannabe NY style pizza. The ingredients are fatty, oily and greasy while the crust does not hold up at all. I got a calzone today since it was the only thing I have not yet tried on the menu. It was not a calzone. It was a pizza folded in half and stuffed. Wack. It even looked like chicken parmigiana even though it wasn’t chicken. It was the mystery meals of all mystery meals. Not to mention it is making my stomach hurt right now.
It is also very difficult to place phone orders through Olive Grove Café since it seems like the people on the other end don’t understand my alien language. I laugh when I have to place an order, I laugh when I see the food, and I cry when it regurgitates.

i’m not sure why «pizza» is part of the name of this establishment, perhaps this name is outdated? anyway, i frequent this joint in the mornings only, so my review is from the perspective that this is a «morning breakfast» place.
olive grove is the «mom and pop» joint you love to love. service is always preceded with a smile. it’s pretty much a one man show and he’s always attentive and quick — essential for the morning rush. he’s the type that starts your mocha even before you walk into the door.
his mochas a top notch. he uses a chocolate syrup, instead of a the more common powder form (ala starbucks) which gives it a unique and richer flavor. his drip coffees are fresh and delicious, and organized in a serve-​yourself manner (again, good for the morning rush). there is also custom order drip coffee.
pastries are fresh and tasty. he’s also got a variety of continental-​like breakfasts, ready to go.
great place. i consider myself lucky to have this place located in such a convenient place.

it opens early so that is good. close to wellsfargo? im reaching. the food is not very good. Your best bet is a slice of pizza. that is pretty decent. infact i would say the sliced pizza is pretty good and actually you can get a decent chichen sandwich, but most of the stuff is so-​so at best.
They put their soup in little plastic tubs but I dont thikn k they are made for holding hot food. also the calzones are blah and they cover them with red sauce i think to mask the flavor. Bagels are fine. the breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos are not very good. Hard bacon, very greasy, burritos are bland. Coffe is actually not great either.

I only really get bagels here. They never have soup, though it is on the menu, and when I ask, all they say is they just ran out. Grr… make enough to get you through the end of your business day. It’s winter, for crying out loud, people want soup! Espresso drinks are not made correctly, and I am not a fan of their regular coffee. Just get a bagel with some cream cheese.

Do you ever continuously frequent mediocre spots just b/​c it’s easy (no offense john!)? Lotsa parking, decent sandwiches, awful pastas, pretty good pizza slices.
