My one experience there would not be promising for the above.  (By the way, I think the name is just "Give Pizza Chance".  For the person who asked:  it's at the intersection of El Camino and Broadway.)  I hadn't called in advance, but they said a pizza would take about 15 minutes, so I decided to wait. They had little other business, but it took them over 30 minutes.  As for the pizza, I found it to be pretty average, nothing special (well below Applewood), so I haven't been back.

Give Pizza Chance (no extraneous "a" in the name) is on Broadway near ECR. Look for the peace sign pizza in the window.

Heartily seconded.  In my experience, their pizza is about as good as it gets when it comes to thin-crust style.  It's a small place, but that works in its favor; unlike a lot of pizza restaurants, it's not constantly overrun, and it tends to be mercifully sprog-free.  A lot of their business seems to be take-out and home delivery.

Also, there are several tables outside on the sidewalk.  Being located near the back corner of Town & Country Village, the passing traffic (both vehicular and ambulatory) is minimal, making that a pleasant and quiet area to sit.  Oh, and they have Sierra Nevada on tap, too.
