Is it good pizza? Not really. It's okay. It's right by UC Berkeley though, and it's open late.

Everyone saying this is the best pizza in Berkeley! But I found it meh. Wasn’t bad wasn’t great. Just yummy enough. I also got just a normal pepperoni so maybe next time I’ll try a signature slice. Atmosphere alright, bit of a tight area, only seats like 3 groups of people.

I've been coming here for over a decade, and this place never lets me down! Their beef pepperoni is great. I also especially love their BBQ Chicken pizza. Their staff is always super friendly, and the wait times are very short. I recommend coming out and giving it a try!

This place is disgusting and deserves a visit from the health inspector. Please see the attached Roach Pizza that they feel is okay to serve to their paying customers.

Horrible! Just horrible!!! I get here at 7:00pm to get a free pizza slice from an app I got, was told they didn't have the pizza I wanted. That would've been fine if I didn't see them hand out 3 pizza boxes full of different slices of pizza to people, after I had gone to find something else to eat across the street. I was beyond pissed off, I still am. So I can't get a slice of pizza but your little friends can get whole boxes?! And the guy was not nice about it at all, I drove all that way for you to tell me you don't have what you let me buy and you're gonna get mad at me for feeling some type of way about it. I honestly never liked this place, the pizza is too thick, I only came here cause it was free.

My second experience with Blondie's was at their Telegraph location in Berkeley. - breakfast omelets - crepes, Nutella - salads - wide amount of choices for drinks - cheese, pepperoni, personal pizza - buffalo wings - I had a cheese pizza, $4 dollars flat - bread sticks, should have used the $3.99/coupon for a slice of cheese or pepperoni with drink Clean, a fair amount of seating for small groups - nice service - pizza was thin, a whole lot of cheese, so burnt anything except for part of the crust, not a lot of sauce, a bit too greasy for me, it was okay - so far the one I had in the city is the best, and the one in PH is better even Go to Fat Slice or some other place in Berkeley for better pizza, for memorable pizza.

Definitely order through Snackpass for a fast experience and 50% off your first slice! After taxes and box fees, the total came out to be ~$18 for two slices of pizza and garlic breadsticks. Overall the pizza was ok! The toppings were a bit on the dryer side with the bread being really dry, but the cheese was drippy which was a plus! The garlic breadsticks were also on the dryer side. Overall, the pickup time was super fast and convenient too! It's about a five-minute walk from campus with generous portions so definitely check it out!

Awesome pies and huge breaksticks. I ordered a medium California and breadsticks, ate like a king and still had most of the breadsticks and half the pizza left.Super friendly staff, always joking with customers. Great ambiance.The listing needs to be updated. It says Blondie's pizza on the sign not Abe's, had a challenge finding it at first.Great value for money! The penultimate Berkeley student experience imho.

Amazing pizza, hits like a truck when you get a slice late at night. Added some garlic and it was fresh actual big pieces of garlic.Fresh and hotly baked, absolutely 10/10 for me.

The taste was ok and a little too much sauce but the size of the slice was worth the 6.00. Plus I got a ranch as well. I would recommend

After passing by this place almost every single day after class, I decided to finally give it a try after seeing that I could get 50% off my first order at Blondie's on Snackpass. You wouldn't even believe that I got a huge slice of pizza for ONLY $3. It was EXTREMELY fast and was ready 2 minutes after I ordered it. The subsequent times I went here, it was $6. Okay guys I wasn't expecting much since pizza is pizza but wow the sausage supreme was honestly really good. It's packed with sausage, onion, mushroom, and red and green peppers. They have Parmesan cheese and pepper flakes on the side for you to add on for free as well. They have a variety of drinks, and I highly recommend that you eat your pizza with a good 'ol Bundaberg ginger beer. It was very filling and a great portion for lunch. However, I do wish that the interior was a little cleaner. When I sat at the table it not only had several fresh cheese bits but also dried up Parmesan crumbles and chicken. If you are just looking for take out, this wouldn't be a problem.

Abes pizza?? Blondies pizza?? Besides the confusing name you can be rest assured this place's pizza is decent quality. However, I feel, quality is not necessarily the best metric for a pizza joint 30 seconds from a college campus. Starving and half beat by all the relentless midterms, college students like me look for places that are easily accessible (snackpass!), decent quality, and most importantly satiating/CHEAP. If you are hungry and in southside look no further. I got the 2 topping pizza with sausages and mushrooms and it was more than enough for around 10 dollars. (WOULD RECOMMEND) This price point is hard to contend with considering the neighboring restaurants. With average meals peaking over 12 dollars... Ive lived here in berkeley for quite sometime and I never even entertained the idea of going here, but upon doing so I was pleasantly surprised! Do give this place a try if you are hungry! I will definitely be back

Formerly known as Abe's, Blondie's is a Berkeley institution that's been dishing out pizzas for decades. Blondie's has been with my family through thick and thin whether they're satiating my mother's pregnancy cravings (back when she was still carrying me) to satisfying my munchies as a -sometimes- inebriated college student. Regardless of which name they operate under, their pizza remains the same: delicious, affordable, and gigantic. It's no wonder why they remain open and bustling year after year. Today, I had the pleasure of trying their hyphy pizza. While the base was just a slice of regular degular cheese pizza, the toppings amounted to an amalgamation of spicy, sweet, and savory. Before this, I can't say I've had a pizza with olives, jalapeños, pepperoni, and pineapple. But, I'm so glad I gave it a try. Truly, you can't go wrong with the hyphy! The pizza's bottom was deliciously crispy despite the overwhelming amount of moist toppings on top, and the cheese was ooey gooey, a quintessential trait for great pizza. Pro tip: download SnackPass! Your first slice is 50% off which is a steal considering the portion size and location. They also offer an additional 10% off for students, so pair your discounted slice with a discounted beverage from their impressively wide selection of refrigerated drinks.
