Great pizza. I slept on them for too long because so many reviews mentioned vegan pizza, which I did not want. But they have meat and it’s great.

The best pizza in Oakland!

Every time I get pizzas from there I regret that I haven’t been there more often than I should. Hands down one of the best Neapolitan pizzas there is in the Bay Area

Great little spot in downtown Oakland. Many vegan pizza options, they use Butcher's Son Vegan Mozz for their vegan pizzas and it's delicious. I had the Vegan TNT which uses spicy Thai chilies. Great crust and their pizzas are perfect for one person. I'm one who definitely likes to eat pizza fresh out of the oven so take note that they DO have indoor dining upstairs (not super visible when you walk in). There are no windows up there so it can get warm but it's definitely a nice spot if you want to eat this pizza the way it was meant to be eaten (hot and fresh).

Who pulls this out of an oven & thinks it’s ok to serve? The pizza is usually pretty good for bay area standards, but, coming from Trenton, this is terrible. The elements are there to make this a true tomato pie, but the tomato paste sauce was too sweet & the crust was indistinguishable from the remnants of the oven. The other two pizzas we ordered were pretty good, but what got me was the dough in the TKO was thick & raw in the middle while this thing was sent to hell.

The only place that serves full gluten full meat but also no dairy pizza I've ever had. ❤️ It's a joy to see the small vegan dairy products so well utilized and in a second form.

my dairy allergies are the worst

the mushroom truffle vegan pizza
and the vegan margherita+ meat is my favorite

The vegan cherry bomb is a must-try — it offers a unique balance of sweet and savory flavors with chewy cherries.

While I appreciate their offering and the extensive vegan menu, I find their crust too chewy for my liking. Additionally, the estimated pickup times vary between the app and text messages, often taking longer than either predict resulting in sitting and waiting what feels like forever.

I don’t like to leave bad reviews in general but I’m just so sad… to spend $60 for a meal that is meant to be a cozy treat on a Friday night and come home with a burnt sourdough pizza and a gluten free bad smelling burnt dry crust makes me need to react in some ways and write a bad review ?‍↕️
