Introducing Bill and Bali’s Pizza and Pints, the newest addition to Walnut Creek’s dining scene. This family-owned restaurant is the brainchild of cousins Baldeep and Gurpreet Sangha, who decided to pay homage to their fathers by naming the establishment after them. Bill and Bali Sangha, brothers who immigrated from India’s Punjab region, have always had a love for pizza, which they discovered upon their arrival in the United States.

Before settling in the Bay Area, the Sangha brothers lived in Yuba City. It was there that they first tasted the delicious pies from well-known local chains like Straw Hat and Round Table. The flavors left an indelible mark on their taste buds, and they quickly fell in love with pizza. This culinary obsession carried on when they relocated to the Bay Area in the 1980s.

Fast forward to the present day, and their sons, Baldeep and Gurpreet, have decided to open a pizza and beer joint in Walnut Creek. Five years ago, the dynamic duo opened Hops & Scotch, a taproom and whiskey bar that has become a beloved local establishment. Now, they have expanded their culinary repertoire with the opening of Bill and Bali’s Pizza and Pints.

The new restaurant boasts a family-friendly atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for a casual meal. With eight TVs, customers can also catch their favorite team, the Warriors, in action while enjoying their food. But what really sets this pizzeria apart is its unique take on the classic Italian dish. Bill & Bali’s Pizza & Pints specializes in rectangular Roman-style pizzas, featuring a light, 96-hour cold-fermented crust that is sure to delight even the most discerning pizza lover.

The menu offers a variety of tempting options. For the lovers of creamy, cheesy goodness, the Burrata Love Affair pizza is a must-try. Topped with prosciutto, burrata, arugula, and a balsamic glaze, it is a flavor explosion in every bite. If you prefer a little more heat, the Calabrian Firecracker pizza is the way to go. Made with salami, Calabrian peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, mushrooms, and mozzarella, it will surely satisfy your spicy cravings. And for the vegetarians out there, Popeye’s Passion is a garlic-infused delight, featuring artichokes, mushrooms, and, of course, spinach.

But the menu doesn’t stop at pizza. Bill and Bali’s also offers a range of appetizers and desserts to round out your meal. From salads and wings to mozzarella sticks and decadent desserts like créme brûlée cheesecake and tiramisu, there is something for everyone. And let’s not forget about the extensive wine, beer, cider, and seltzer selection to quench your thirst.

So, next time you find yourself in Walnut Creek, make sure to stop by Bill and Bali’s Pizza and Pints. Experience the love and dedication these cousins have put into creating a unique dining experience that honors their fathers’ memories.
