25 Best Pizza Restaurants in Berkeley

“Fournee often has a very long line, but some random weekend mornings, there's no line...and you should definitely jump on the opportunity! The line can be quite long, around the corner which can be quite a wait. My favorites are the cheese bread, croissant, chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant....but there are also tons of other delicious goodies there; I just have to stop myself from ordering everything. They also have a bunch of really delicious desserts in the front case which I haven't had a chance to try.“

“First time I had Lucia's pizza was at their pop up at the Grand Lake farmers market in oakland, and completely fell in love with the 4 cheese pizza! Decided to try the restaurant a couple of months ago and the didn't disappoint! Pizza was delicious and staff were super nice and friendly! Totally recommend them if you're looking to have a legit Italian pizza experience!“

“Curry pizza house has really good Indian and traditional pizzas. The malai chicken pizza is so good! They don’t skimp on toppings. My pizzas were ready in 15 minutes. Customer service is great. Veronica is very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back to try more flavors.“

“Without a doubt. This is some awesome pizza. The ingredients are great. The dough is off the hook. In both the regular NY and the Sicillian. The Italian sausage cannon be better. The only bad thing is that I have bragged about it so much that's its led me to order it often and share it with friends.“

“I was a huge fan of Delirama, my absolute favorite sandwich was the Delirama Mama, so I was sad to hear the owner was going to pivot in a new direction. I prefer take out to dining in, so I waited for that to be an option, and put my order in today. I got a fried chicken sandwich and the pastrami Reuben, both with chips. The menu says a small salad is served with the sandwiches.The fried chicken sandwich is HUGE and delicious. I prefer my fried chicken to be a little on the dark side, which this was. I only wished there were more pickles, but that's because if I could subsist on pickles I would.The Reuben was the same as the Delirama one. My husband was bummed it was "so small," but that's because I used to get the biggest sandwich option and this one is the regular sized one.The chips were yummy, and still warm from the fryer by the time I got home. Or had just taken on some of the radiant heat from my sandwich. Either way, delightful.The salad is not small, it is quite generous in size. The dressing is a little sweet and a lot acidic, which I really enjoyed. My one complaint is that it was overdressed for me, but I prefer the minimum amount of dressing.I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because it was a bit dark inside for me.“

“Came on a Saturday evening, and there was a long line down the block. They only serve 1 type of pizza and 1 type of salad, and you decide how much you want of each. For the pizza, you can order per slice, half pie, or whole pie. You order at the front and then choose a seat if you're dining in. Since there's only one choice for everything, it all comes out right away when you order and pay. If you want anything specialized - gluten-free, vegan, etc then they tell you to go to counter to order first, then get in line to pay. Would recommend getting the green sauce as well for an extra delicious kick. They also have outdoor dog friendly dining. Delicious pizza, highly recommend.“

“Highly recommend the Paneer achari twist thin crust pizza! Very flavorful, could go little low on cheese. The pesto pasta was a bit dry. Seasoned fries were good. I recommend ordering their specialty twist items.Plenty of indoor seating available. They got board games on each tables to play while you wait for food. Service is good.“

“Literally the best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. Place looks spare, but the food is first class. Salads are as good as it gets. Derick is owner/chef, having come from a Michelin restaurant in SF, he knows what he’s doing. You will not be disappointed !“

“We went here for brunch. Good, unique food! Service was good, staff was very nice, consistent with a chill Berkeley vibe. I tried the southern style breakfast, which was a nice healthier take on southern classics. Good flavor. The baked egg was perfect, and in a cute shape. Loved the greens and the yam, and the black-eyed peas were lovely. The cornbread could've been a bit more moist I thought, but overall enjoyed it!“

“Quick Slice At Zachary's in Albany, WOOHOO!!! It's the friendly wait staff, perfect quiet room on a Sunday morning and satisfying portions of salads which keep me coming for more. As a former Cal student, I would hit Zachary's to take in their infamous stuffed pies. They're still keeping the tradition after 40 years. If you haven't had one, you're in for a tasty, hearty meal.“

“Best bakery in Berkeley. They are so underrated and I wish more people know about their great food. I’m obsessed with their focaccia breads (marinara is out of the world), their pizzas are personally my favourite in berkeley and the chocolate croissant is to die for. I visit them atleast thrice a week. Encourage everyone to try this small business.“

“Dropped in during an unexpected encounter - I was drawn in from the sidewalk and wanted to know more. I liked the interior a lot - it was bright, clean, open, the walls were adorned with various photographs, from the tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, to the way the condiments were placed out on the tables, everything carried my eyes to wander and admire. I entered during a time when there was only one other person waiting for a to-go order. The guy who was working was nice - especially when I kept asking questions. All of the food looked great, well-stocked, and the display they had showing its name was well read. There was a lot I wanted to try, but I limited myself to two slices of their pizzas. - Capricciosa $7 (one of their most popular ones - mushrooms, olives, artichoke, mozzarella, and ham) - San Daniele $7.50 (this might be a seasonal one as its not listed on their website - had prosciutto and arugula) Checking in on the Yelp app, I received a free piece of their focaccia bread which he cut in two pieces for me. I would love to come back here for their aperitivo (happy hour) which is held from 4-6:30pm. I find that this place is great for a quick bite, grab n' go, and dining in for the cool atmosphere. There are a few two person tables which could be combined together for a larger group and a few bar tables along the wall which is good for two people, along with a few cute tables for outside dining which I'd love to see more of in the state of California. The food tasted amazing! Shared and eaten once I arrived home. I wish I had gotten more to try!“

“Great pizza and fun drinks. Seating is what you would expect for a brewery but it's a nice environment and dog friendly! Appreciated the non alcoholic drink options and all the variety of pizzas! The pizza came out pretty quick, it's counter service but we enjoyed speaking with the lady who took our order. Would come again for the vibes and pizza! Maybe even on a nice day to sit outside!“

“The wait is worth it. That crab & shrimp baguette is on point. It was cheesy, the sauce had a kick and every bite I had a shrimp, deeeelicious ? The wings with that Tony sauce is fire. The customer service was awesome, as busy as they were he was still able to take orders, hold conversations, greeted new customers, he was incredible. I be back soon.“

“Seeking fantastic southern Italian foods? This is the place! My 1st time here.. they had newly opened on a Friday, I came in on Saturday back in the 80's... I've been returning ever since. The meatballs are Off the Hook! For sure You will find something you like! No disappointments here!“

“Had pizza delivered. We had a Pesto Chicken pizza and there version of a supreme. Food arrived hot and was so so tasty. Had plenty of toppings, cheese and sauce. Reasonably priced and convenient. Did not disappoint. (our only issue was we didn't see the tip we left the delivery driver on the receipt he handed us, but it was on the electronic receipt. Really hope driver got his tip.)“

“We did take out of a pie - large - and haven’t eaten it yet. Very soon! We took a chance with the online number guess and lost. Our consolation price was a free large salad - Yay. Because the place is so new the manager didn’t know about the salad offer but as soon as he read my offer on my phone he had staff make up a beautiful salad for us to take home. Nice customer service.“

“Affordable, high-quality, freshly-made, and generous portions. I stop by here often when I want something healthy for lunch. I typically get the falafel wrap, comes with a side salad. Also they have a large selection of fun drinks like kombucha, flavored sparkling water, and probiotic sodas!“

“It’s my first time to have artichoke pizza. It is really good. The shop seems running for quite sometime because of the smoke stained tiled ceiling and classic posters on their wall. Aside from their famous artichoke pizza, they also have other pizza choices. After ordering, they will reheat your pizza in an artisan oven. I guess this is the reason why their pizza has a unique crunch. They do not have a chair or table in the shop but you can enjoy the pizza while standing inside or in the side walk. This is nice way to experience the street in Berkeley. 7 usd for a large delicious pizza is a good deal. I will visit this again in the near future.“

“My experience at Passione Caffè in their gorgeous two-story, well-decorated café at 91 Shattuck Square was simply marvelous. The staff was friendly, quick, and accommodating and the food, drinks, and desserts were delicious! I highly recommend Passione Caffè to those looking for a quick and yummy lunch (or breakfast/brunch everyday), to snack and study, or for an authentic Italian coffee. Don’t miss out on the great happy hour/aperativo deals between 4-7PM! It almost goes without mentioning, but Passione Caffè is absolutely true to its slogan: “A corner of Italy in Berkeley.” From the food and drink to the atmosphere and the service, this is the only truly Italian café I have found in Berkeley! And that comes from over a year of experience living and traveling in Italy! Besides the beautiful architecture and interior design of Passione Caffè—not to mention its convenient location next to Downtown Berkeley BART—I would like to point out some highlights on the menu. The pastas are all made with homemade, organic noodles and made-to-order sauces. The pasta dishes are so fresh and authentic! The spaghetti with meatballs, their only Americanized dish, is to die for! The pizzas also are also made with home-made dough and gluten-free options are offered. Try one with fresh prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula! The fresh panini with Italian meats and cheeses round out the lunch menu. It is possible to have a filling lunch for $7-15, which is definitely reasonably priced by Berkeley standards! A serious final highlight was the artisanal gelato, made in-house by the Italian co-owner, Eleanora Cercatore. There are 12 flavors, weekly made with gluten-free options, that are displayed on a beautiful rotating wheel. The gelato is spectacularly tasty—I cannot recommend it highly enough! For your time, money, and fine Italian bites and drinks, I cannot recommend a Berkeley café more highly than Passione Caffè! Please pay them a visit soon—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Red Tomato Pizza is the BEST! Not only is their food amazing with quality and variety, but their service is top tier. You would be crazy not to order from them. We order for catering and they always deliver their customer service. Eden is so friendly, reliable, and just an overall amazing. They are a great business and are excellent communicators, who really listen to their customers. They have made us loyal customers and we'll keep coming to them for years to come!“

“I found this place on yelp, my wife and I decided to go. The place is cozy, the food average, wine a bit expensive, the bartender was nice and attentive. I'll give a 4 out 5. I can recommend this place but they have to improve a few things on the menu.“

“Wow. Such a simple yet amazing concept.Pizza of the day and some salsa verde, was this a dream? 2 of my favorite things, together and killing it.Run, don’t walk here. Pictured is the pizza of the day with really fresh ingredients. This pie is gluten free and you can’t even tell. Wow!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Available“

“Called early (10am) to see how late they were open on New Years. Women came on and didn't know what I was asking and I told her I'll call back when owner or whoever is in. 10mins later the manager or whoever called me back. Saw my name on caller ID and he was very sweet and answered all my questions. Came in with my husband... I got a small Mt. Veggiemore Pizza( change the sauce to the creamy one and thin crust. Got 24 basic chicken wings. Sò yummy and fresh. The wings are not salty. My husband got a meat pizza and some wings with BBQ sauce. I wasn't paying much attention cause I was eatting mine. He loved his too.Friendly and professional service. If you are staying inside they had the game on. I would totally recommend the food and this location!!!!! Thank you staff!“
