- pizzaI could easily eat a whole pizza here and still have a slice or two left for a snack the next day. The ingredients were great and proportional, and I really enjoyed the thin style pizza. Keep an eye out for their promotions, as they pop up often enough if you're into that.
- foodI was fortunate to meet the namesake, Casey, during my visit; he was a wonderful, friendly, effusive, and mellow fellow. I would definitely come back for the food and stay for the ambiance.
- crustIf you want a real legit pizza, this is the place. The fresh ingredients and amazing crust were outstanding. The beer and wine were great too.
- ingredientslocally sourced and organic ingredients
- beerMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the delicious pizza and great beer. The chill vibes made it a perfect spot to stop before or after the game near Oracle Park.
- doughMy experience at this restaurant was great from start to finish. The pizza was fantastic tasting, with a flavor-rich profile, crisp dough, and just the right amount of density. The service was equally impressive; the staff provided wonderful caring service.
- piesone of the best pies in town
- toppingsWhat really surprised me was just how good the pizza was. It reminded me of a classic New York pie, but with more sophistication in the toppings and great attention to detail in the presentation, like neatly spaced pepperoni cups. The crust had a good chew, was a little floppy in the middle like a Neapolitan, but still had plenty of crisp texture and light char.

If youre craving some seriously good pizza with fresh ingredients and a great beer selection, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that some found the portions a bit small for the price, but overall, its a strong contender for your next meal.

Value (4.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 25% of the guests
When it comes to value, some diners find a silver lining, noting decent prices and calling it an indulgence that’s hard to pass up. Keep an eye out for promotions that pop up often, making it feel worth it for those who snag a deal. While the overall score for value sits at an average 4.6, these positive experiences, though fewer, highlight potential bright spots.
However, the general sentiment, based on 14 negative opinions out of 22 total, leans towards the expensive side. Many feel it's pricey for what you get, with the menu often described as pricy. Some found the steep price not worth it.
This is reflected in a poor customer satisfaction of just 18.2%, suggesting value is a significant concern.

- pricey for what you getit’s bit pricey for what you get
- steep priceThe pizza crust was great, and it was topped with fresh ingredients. I'd rate it 4 stars, primarily due to the steep price. Despite the cost, the pizza was tasty, and one pie was sufficient to serve two people.
If youre on a tight budget or expect exceptional value for every dollar, this might not be your spot. However, if youre willing to splurge a bit, especially when promotions are available, you might find it a worthwhile indulgence. Just be prepared for potentially steep prices.

Disappointing Return to Casey's
A couple of years ago, I lived next door to Casey's and it was by far my favorite pizza place. So much so that I went back there at my earliest convenience, and oh boy, was I disappointed. Not only is the pizza not as good, but it's actually pretty bad.
It's both basic AND expensive. Do yourself a favor and skip.

Friendly staff, but pricey food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The staff were very friendly and nice, and the dining area was clean. However, the food was not worth the price.
All pizzas come in only one size, and a simple medium margarita without additional toppings was over $30. The food/price was not worth it. If they were to reduce prices by 30%, I would definitely recommend it.

Slow Service, Good Food
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The place was slow. I ordered cider and a slice of pizza.
I found it difficult because people didn't speak English, and the staff didn't understand what I needed. However, the food was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
