Freewheel Pizza Co.

This is the best pizza I've had in the Concord/Clayton/Walnut Creek area and is by far better than any of their better-known competition. Note: they only do take out.

It's an odd little place. But without a doubt some of the best pizza I have ever had. I can't wait to order again!

Best. Pizza. Ever. The location (an alley with no front door). The hours. 5 days a week, 3 hours a day. It's like picking up your pizza from a forbidden speakeasy. I love it! You can't add a tip if you pay with a card so remember to bring cash with you!

Best Pizza I've found yet this side of the Bay.

Absolutely massive and the toppings are high quality. Driving down the alley behind the shopping center and pulling up to their window is a unique experience, that's for sure.

Going to be my go-to pizza going forward.

The location is quite tucked away among the businesses. You’ll need to navigate around to the back until you reach the order and pickup window. It’s advisable to place your order online, and they offer various payment options. There’s minimal marketing, just a modest pizza sign by the entrance. The staff is friendly and helpful, eager to provide recommendations. The pizzas are freshly made on-site and baked in their oven. We tried the Figgy Piggy, which was surprisingly not too greasy and tasted delicious, especially with the arugula topping. However, at $38, it may seem slightly overpriced, but quality comes at a cost. Despite the long pickup queue, indicating high demand, the quality is definitely worth it.

You roll down a long, sketchy alleyway. At the end you find a single door, painted red, with a drop-down window. When ou approach the window there are a group of people inside a dark room, 90s music playing, banging out pizza pies with a smile. They drop the window and hand you your pizza, and its the best pizza in the whole East Bay . Highly recommend.

Absolutely off the charts. Just thinking about this place makes my stomach happy. I’m addicted to the Figgy Piggy. The crust is a sourdough and super yummy, even on day 2. Fresh ingredients and the combination of cheese makes for the perfect pie. The service is also superb every single time. I love this place.

Poor sauce to cheese ratio. 90 percent cheese to sauce. Cheese turns into congealed mess within minutes. Great crust. Fix everything else. I was expecting great things. Tremendously disappointing. Lousy pizza.

I grew up on east coast, so I’m a fan of a good thin crust. I’ve been mostly underwhelmed with pizza since moving to Bay Area 20 years ago, with a few exceptions. I can’t say how excited I am that Freewheel pizza is in my neighborhood! I only recently heard about it and tried it last night. The crust was perfect and the toppings are high quality. My favorite pizza in the east bay, maybe even in entire Bay Area.

Easily the best pizza in the area. Only downside is the hours/days of operation. Wish they were open more!
