Late night pizza. What else can we say?

If there’s one thing most San Joseans can agree on — it’s that it can be pretty challenging finding late-night food past 8 or 9 p.m. (beyond our beloved hot dog carts around Downtown).

Rather than visiting another Taco Bell drive-thru — we’ve got you covered with 18 eateries that are open late in San Jose. Pssst... you can also view these in our interactive map .

Hours listed are businesses’ latest hours open past midnight — check links for full hours.
