Something Very Special is going on here. I was just walking buy and the great smell of fresh pizza caught my attention. I walked inside and noticed that they sell pizza by the slice. So I purchased 1 slice of everything they had. Wow was I impressed. The pizza was so good. I had to ask myself what it was that made it so damn good. The Sauce The toppings..The Crust..It's all good. This Pizza has so many great things going for it but if I had to say the one thing that stands out it would be the Crust. The crust is heavenly and it really makes this Pizza great. I usually buy a salad to go with my Pizza that graduated from slices to a whole 18 inch one size only pie. I love dipping this very special crust in the Italian salad dressing. The Service here is excellent and Friendly. They really make you feel welcome. It's a great place to bring your family to enjoy a very special but simple meal. To the Owners Johnathan and Sarah..Couldn't thank you enough.. ❤️
I saw the sign as I was walking by coming back from a job that said that it's $12 for two slices of pizza and fresh lemonade. I thought man with prices these days that's a great deal. So I went inside and I got the pizza and it was hot fresh and delicious with house Maid lemonade not from concentrate. I was absolutely pleased with my pizza and the service I got as well as the facility was a little bit authentic like an old family from Italy cooking pizza right out of the kitchen. If I'm in the area again I will definitely swing by this place is a must-have for Pizza Lovers of all ages
I was one of their newest customers when they first opened a couple years ago, the pizza was delicious back then. The pizza is still good until this day. The pizza is very delicious. I must admit that this is one of the best pizza places in the Bay Area. Small location but, bold in flavor. ATTENTION Keith Lee, come rate this restaurant.
Absolutely swinging for the fences, this small pizzeria, in Oakland's cemetery-adjacent Piedmont neighborhood, is now my new favorite Oakland Pizza. With a slice, perfectly calibrating flat dough crunch, with a chewy delicious after effect, sauce that is perfectly acidic and just a tad naturally sweet, and with high temperature cheese melted perfectly in an actual pizza oven, (you'd be surprised at a lot of places don't really have a new york-style pizza oven, it's a thing) these slices are 10 out of 10 for flavor, texture, and presentation. Cannot speak highly enough of this local Pizzeria. Querying Jonathan, the Pizza Chef, (as I am known to do) it was revealed to me that the dough is allowed to preferment, and is a mix of doughs, perfectly combining the flavor profile of sourdough, with that with a more neutral dough, like a New York slice. Great pizza, great people, great atmosphere, this tiny place represents what to do right about pizza.
Came here for a late lunch around 2 and some of the best fast pizza have had in a long time. The lunch deal is a good value: 2 slices and a drink for ~$12. Clean sleek interior with bar seating around the edge and a big table in the center
