Our Story

Welcome to State of Mind Slice House, inspired by the Golden State.

We believe California is much more than a place on the map; to us, it’s a State of Mind. With roots in the state dating back to the 1800s, our family had a long-held dream that came to life as State of Mind. We opened our first restaurant, State of Mind Public House and Pizzeria, in Los Altos in 2018. We are excited to open our Slice House in the neighborhood in which we grew up.

Pizza is our specialty. We were awarded World’s Best Non-traditional Pizza at the 2017 International Pizza Expo. We have continued to compete around the United States and in Italy, most recently having won the U.S. Pizza Team’s Virtual Pizza Cup and two categories in the California Milk Advisory Board-sponsored Real California Pizza Contest. We make our pizza with slow proofed dough, California cheese, and organic Bianco Dinapoli tomato sauce. Our pizza is offered in three styles: round, pan, and gluten-free. We also offer fresh salads and It’s-It ice cream sandwiches. We make our food from scratch, featuring  local and seasonal  ingredients. This is how we eat as a family and we want to share it with you. Our dishes are inspired by the agricultural bounty and diversity we are so grateful to have here in the Golden State.

California boasts more than 1,000 breweries and, while we haven’t tried them all, we have sampled hundreds, collectively of course. From this experience, we curate a can and bottle list featuring our favorite craft breweries from throughout the state. We have a list that includes IPAs, Pale Ales, Lagers, Stouts, Sours, Browns, Saisons and more. Don't worry, we also feature a small selection of wines from independent California wineries. Additionally, we have craft ciders, organic juices, artisan sodas, local root beer, and ginger beer.

Come in and grab a slice or order a whole pie online! We have something for everyone. Stop by and join us to celebrate our State of Mind.
