50 Best Pizza Restaurants near El Cerrito

“Best pizza ,I love how the crust is thin and crispy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My nephew and I enjoyed it we were on a outing..he loves pizza and the Teenage Mutant Turtles so I saw a sign said all you can eat pizza so I stop by so we played games for about 30 minutes they made our food fresh and it was great service..“

“I just came from Little Caesars right now and we ordered the Thin crust with crazy bread everything came out fresh and delicious and it was super fast when the employees delivered it“

“When paying for the food, I had to choose or enter a tip amount. Since it was a takeout order, I didn't really have to leave anything. But I decided to give a 10% tip ($3.05) just to say, 'Please take good care of my order' haha. And wow, it totally paid off!“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“I just walked in during a busy time. The waiters were great and the atmosphere was hoping. I was able to make my order, half bacon&half pepperoni Detroit style. The pizza did not disappoint. I live in Chicago and very picky and this pizza met my expectations. Even good the next morning cold(yes cold).“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“absolutely delicious absolutely delicious delicious New pizzeria I love it clean the crust is excellent“

“Apple endive salad was a perfect mixture of flavors and textures. I would call this a destination salad because I would drive to eat this again :). Also had the Casanova pizza, which was also very tasty. The crust was perfect and had just the slightest char for added flavor. I will be back for the salad as well as to try many of the other pizzas. This place is legitimately yummy.“

“Easily one of the best pizza shops in the Bay. However, the girl at the cash register needs to learn how to manage and triage customer requests better.

I asked for extra burrata on my pizza and was completely willing to pay for it. She looked at me dumbfounded, as if I had asked her to send a rocket to the moon. She said it was the first time anyone had ever asked for that and that she wasn’t sure if she could do it. So I asked if she could get someone who could figure out how to charge me for an extra ball of burrata. She basically ignored the request and said nothing else.

That kinda bugged me. If you don’t know how to do something, fine, but ask someone who does. I’m literally standing there offering to give you more money. I probably would’ve paid up to $8 for this ball of cheese. Make shit happen!

She did ultimately give me extra parm on the side, but she also wrote “extra cheese” on my ticket, and holy hell, they made the pizza look like Zermatt after a snowstorm with the amount of parm they grated over it.

Still would’ve preferred the extra ball of burrata…

They need someone at the register who is a little more sociable and willing to figure shit out for the customer instead of just shutting down when someone makes a slightly unusual request.

I’ll absolutely come again because the pizza is that good, but goddamn, I won’t be making any more complicated requests like “can I pay you for an extra ball of burrata?” Apparently that gets you looked at like you just asked them to commit a war crime.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“Always a go-to when wanting a fast quick meal. One thing I love is they are open LATE! Someone like me who is constantly on the go or working late ... I know they always got my back! pizza slices are huge and squarish. salads are amazing, workers are always polite and customer service Orientated. I appreciate the consistency!!!“

“Not sure how it’s the fourth-best pinsa in the U.S., unless the other three pinserias are also in San Francisco. It’s perfectly fine if you’re hungry and already on Fillmore, but it probably wouldn’t be my first choice otherwise.

They have a good variety of pinsas, although I didn’t find them as balanced as some others I’ve had. They’re pretty heavy on the cheese, and the sauce is a little too sweet for my taste.

The service was friendly, but could use a few tweaks. The staff were almost too attentive. I don’t really need my water refilled every time I take a sip, and at times it made the meal feel a little rushed; not ideal. Also, pay attention to where the water bottle is placed. Our waiter repeatedly put it right on the edge of the table next to our hands even though there was plenty of room elsewhere.

I do feel some sense of accomplishment that I managed not to knock it over.“

“This place is absolutely incredible! I ordered pizzas for a big family ranging from 12 to 90 years old and we were all ecstatic!

I love the way the ginger comes through in the tandoori. The plain cheese is like a little black dress; goes with everything and everyone loves it! The old guy kept saying, “This is delicious!” and the kids gobbled it up.

It was also lovely to meet the owner. This is going to a new family favorite for sure!!“

“How am I the first person to review this place?? Laura is one of the best in the industry. For those that don't know, she was the right arm for Toni Gemignani, arguably the most famous pizza maker on the planet, through a whole bunch of his concepts since the beginning of both of their careers. She opened her own place in Berkeley and it's great to see her continuing to thrive at the level she did with Tony. Also the food is really good. The sleeper here might be the pasta which gets as much love as the pizzas.“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“Wow! Some pizza talent happening at this pizza parlor. Best SF pizza i have had. Fantastic crust. I had a gorgeous white pie with mushrooms and beautiful fresh basil and parmesan on top.
Geat find. Will recommend to all my friends.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“There's some slight confusion because ordering from "Slice of Hollywood" from Eat24, you get pizza from Pizza Nation, but that's no big deal. The food is GOOD. Best wings I've ever had delivered, and the pizza is really good as well. plenty of toppings, and so far I've only had great experiences with them. Great combo price deals too!“

“Chico’s Pizza completely knocks it out of the park. First off, the food is absolutely great—heavy, delicious pies and massive comfort food that never disappoints.
But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The staff is amazing—super welcoming, fast, and genuinely friendly every time you walk through the door.
And finally... oh my god, the restroom has a bidet. You do not expect that kind of next-level luxury at a neighborhood pizza spot, and honestly, it is an absolute game-changer. Great food, incredible people, and top-tier bathroom amenities. I love this place!“

“The Food that i ordered was fantastic specially the seafood pasta in tomato sauce , rich in taste, large serving.

The staff are friendly and very accomodating.
Ambiance was pleasant. I do recommend this place, i enjoyed my visit.“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly servers and of course Delicious Italian pizza😋“

“Went out of our way to make sure we tried it and have zero regrets. Solid NY pizza and staff was super friendly.“

“The pizza here is truly incredible. I’ve tried the Peking duck and it’s no gimmick. Super great flavor and very unique. Their regular slices are amazing as well. Moved here from nyc and think this place is definitely up to par with what I’ve had in New York. I’d say compared to Za, Golden Boys, and GIOIA pizza (in Berkeley), Outta Sight takes the cake. Go to Outta Sight and try the best pizza in The Bay“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“We enjoyed a terrific meal here pre-theater. Having just lived in Italy, we can attest to the authenticity of the menu. We had pizza for lunch, so we focused on the antipasti (heirloom tomato’s, meatballs, cheeses), which were all delish—fresh and flavorful. Delightful desserts as well and nice wine options. I am not going to lie: the neighborhood is a bit rough but the food is worth it.“

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“This was a late dinner find. I walked in about an hour before closing ordered one of the traditional pizzas, and it was excellent. The service and staff were friendly and extra helpful. This is an excellent place and the traditional options“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“My wife and I went here for a Italian supper and wow was it good! Only good things to say about this place, and the best service we have had In years. We were very impressed!“

“Nice and clean place. The menu is pretty extensive so they don’t just make pizza. Surprisingly they have lots of beers on tap. The average price for a pizza slice is about $6.50 Overall, a great place for lunch or a quick snack. Will come again!“

“(Make a reservation)
We arrived at Capo’s around 7:20 pm on a Saturday and were told we would have to wait 40 minutes for a table.
As hungry travelers, we said thank you and as we were about to leave, the hostess finds a nook and sat us down outside. I appreciate the fact that she did us that favor.
There were no patio heaters, so if sitting outside or walking in during busy hours, expect to dine outside in the cold with no heat (during winter).

(The Staff)
It was a very busy night, but the staff did a spectacular job in checking in on us.

(The Food)
The appetizers come in a reasonably sized portion, we ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella and was given a complimentary dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
My partner ordered the meat lasagne and I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka with smoked pancetta. The food was really good, it’s unlike anything I have ever had.
Take in mind that the dishes do serve up to 2 people, on busy nights it make take a bit to get your food, and regular pizzas take up to 20 minutes to bake, deep dish pizzas take up to 45 minutes to bake (but they look like they are worth the time!)

(Conclusion)
I would have loved to sit inside, the vibe is really nice. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, book a reservation at Capo’s.“

“Best pizza 🍕 I have ever had! Hands down!“

“Rolled up at 7:20 AM on a Saturday and found parking very easily on the street in front and practically no line. Caneles weren't available but I don't know if that was because someone had managed to clean shop in 20 minutes or they weren't ready yet. We got:

Quiche Lorraine: excellent, stood up well to microwave reheating and really appreciated the saltiness from the ham, was a full meal with some fruit and a slice of the walnut loaf on the side

Chocolate almond croissant: excellent texture and sweetness

Pain au chocolat: it was good but probably wouldn't buy again simply because I think other things taste better and are more worth the calories/money

Cardamom and walnut scone: my sleeper hit, ordered it because I saw someone else raving about it and wow wow wow so unassuming looking but maybe my favorite?

Ham and cheese cup: my husband's favorite; I had doubts about the hard boiled egg inside as I'm not generally a fan but it wasn't chalky in the slightest

Walnut bread: texture is perfect, soft yet with great body, one of the best loaves I've had in a long time

Caneles: didn't buy this time but have before and they are *chef's kiss*, perfect little hint of alcohol, burnt (but not bitter) sugar taste

Also bought Paris-Brest but that's for dessert tonight.“

“Fantastic artisan pizzas. We always stop by when we’re in the neighborhood!“

“City Center Pizzeria brings a fantastic, high-energy slice of classic comfort straight to Oakland. The casual, welcoming setup is perfect for a quick lunch break or a relaxed dinner. From their perfectly crispy crusts and rich marinara to the generous, high-quality toppings, every pizza is baked to absolute perfection. I can't wait to visit again.“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“chocolate croissants!!💖.“

“great pizza and great customer service will be coming back“

“Like the food. Music was too loud. Service was great. A bit pricey for those on a fixed income.“

“Perfect Italian authentic restaurant when enjoying North Beach neighborhood for my friends birthday! I got us tickets to dear San Francisco, which is a wonderful show at Club Fugazi just 3 blocks away from this great restaurant! Paolo took wonderful care of us. His wine, suggestions and appetizer and entrée tips were the best! The pasta is homemade and very delicious and special. We tried the gnocchi with pesto, as well as a delicious braised meat, red sauce over fresh linguine. We also enjoyed the grilled (not fried) octopus. The tiramisu for dessert was perfect! I’ve been here before, and I will go back again and again for the service and authentic delicious Italian cuisine.“
