I didn&#8217;t myself, but I still have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/2024\/10\/chain-restaurant-reviews-the-olive-garden\/\">craving pasta<\/a>, so I decided to order from an old favorite: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.porkyspizzapalace.com\/\">Porky&#8217;s Pizza Palace<\/a><\/strong>.  This is a restaurant we have frequented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/porkys.html\">ever since<\/a> we moved to San Leandro, almost a quarter of a century ago.  I love the old-fashioned, family-oriented, small-town-America feel of the place, and there food is pretty good as well.  I didn&#8217;t take pictures this time, we just dived into the food.  <br><br>The kids had a <strong>half-pineapple, half-Golden cheese pizza<\/strong> ($28).  They thought the pizza was OK, pretty average pizzeria pizza.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also ordered <strong>cheesy garlic bread<\/strong> ($6.3) and it&#8217;s definitely very cheesy.  However, the cheese is not that flavorful. Next time we&#8217;d order the garlic bread without the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/462551483_1088400019563061_6023165936861018175_n-e1729644657668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/462551483_1088400019563061_6023165936861018175_n-e1729644657668.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/462551483_1088400019563061_6023165936861018175_n-e1729644657668-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/462551483_1088400019563061_6023165936861018175_n-e1729644657668-676x405.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to order a <strong>quart of ravioli<\/strong> ($14) and <strong>three meatballs<\/strong> ($12), so I&#8217;d have food for three meals.  I really like Porky&#8217;s ravioli and meatballs.  They are not going to win any culinary awards, but the ravioli are well cooked, with soft pasta, and are bursting with beef filling. The meat sauce is flavorful and tastes home made and the meatballs are light and, while commercial, not something I can actually buy myself at the supermarket.  They are also pretty large.  <br><br>In all, I like Porky&#8217;s Pizza, in particular the ravioli, and I&#8217;ll continue to order from there from time to time, as I have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/2010\/02\/porkys-pizza-palace-san-leandro-update\/\">over the decades<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.porkyspizzapalace.com\/\">Porky's Pizza Palace<\/a><\/strong><br>1221 Manor Blvd.<br>San Leandro, CA<br>(510) 357-4323<br>Mon-Thu 3 \u2013 9 pm<br>Fri 3 \u2013 10 pm<br>Sat 1 \u2013 10 pm<br>Sun 1 \u2013 9 pm<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/restaurant-reviews\/san-leandro-area-restaurant-reviews\/\"><strong>San Leandro Restaurant Reviews<\/strong><\/a><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A favorite San Leandro pizzeria never fails to satisfy Last night, my oldest was in town and had a hankering for pizza.
