California-style pizza chain since 1959 with hand-rolled fresh dough, layered toppings, wings, and a salad bar.
Straw Hat Pizza was founded on July 10, 1959 by Charlie Olsen and Bill Henderlong, with the first Straw Hat opening in San Leandro in 1960. The founders picked the name because customers would quickly identify with the straw hats that pizzeria staff wore in California at the time. Specialty pies include The Works, Classic Veggie, BBQ Chicken, Meat-E-Or, California Veggie, Aloha Chicken, Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Lemon Pepper Chicken. The chain says its dough is freshly made each day and highlights a thin layered California crust with a tangy sauce and a special cheese blend.
