Two years after bringing the East Coast-born meatball craze to the South Bay, the locally owned House of Meatball has expanded to San Jose’s Cambrian neighborhood.

That gives the group three in the area: The first is on Morgan Hill, and the second in San Jose’s Evergreen area.

Despite the singularity of the House of Meatball name, there are many, many choices here.

The Build Your Own part of the menu allows you to customize your protein (lamb, pasture-raised beef, free-range chicken, pork or veggie) and your sauce (eight, from classic red marinara to arugula pesto to lemon dill.) Feel you need to supplement this meat-o-rama with leafy veggies? The menu offers garden greens, a Caesar and an apple-walnut salad.

The Fixed Ballers international array includes chicken meatballs with marsala sauce, spicy Thai pork meatballs and steakhouse-style beef meatballs. All come with sides.

New on the menu are meatball sliders.

The Evergreen location is the only one of the trio that serves breakfast. Besides meatball benedicts and meatballs and eggs, there’s a full array of omelettes, scrambles, traditional benedicts, pancakes and such. But, oh, the big decision: Do you want marinara or hollandaise atop your meatball benedict?

Details: House of Meatball is open daily for lunch and dinner, from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., at 3153 Meridian Ave., San Jose. The Evergreen location, 4898 San Felipe Road, opens at 8 a.m. on weekends for breakfast. www.houseofmeatball.com.
