Horrible, hostile, rude customer service from James “the owner”. Never tried the pizza, never will. Cancelled my order after a phone conversation trying to verify details of my order. James gave sassiness, irritation and ignorance. I would never eat from an establishment with an owner or staff with that attitude. Ick factor.

My wife and I had their Italiano and their homemade chicken sausage pizzas. Amazing! Great crust and fresh, copious toppings. Highly recommend!

Love that they have VEGAN options. I'm mostly plant based and lactose intolerant but I will get the vegan deluxe and add either goat cheese or parmesan. They have a chili oil you can drizzle on your pizza for a bit of extra heat or the pizza crack (blend of ground up, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano). It's a nice extra boost of flavor to the veggies.
They have tres leches cake 🍰🍰🍰 I would be willing to sacrifice my stomach for when I have lactose pills.
Must try!

We used Fist of Flour to cater our wedding with their mobile brick oven set-up. Wow, it was such a hit with all our guests and delicious! We love their brick and mortar restaurant too though:)
The pizzas, salads, and appetizers were all delicious. Service was extremely quick, no one was waiting around for food, and everyone raved about how good the pizza was. The staff was friendly, easy to work with, and made sure all our guests were taken care of, and were excellent about handling allergies and gluten free pizza. Before the wedding, they helped us design an amazing menu, provided lots of options, and were extremely responsive.
A lot of our guests, and us included, are really into pizza and always looking for a great new pizza spot, and this place was amazing. We were told all throughout the night how yummy the food was.

Greasy, too greasy. Salty, too salty. Bread ain't artisanal. Idk. It's just expensive. Has a nice logo tho.

Pizza is smackin. Unfortunately, we came at time where there was only one person to a few customers, so things moved a little slower IMO compared to other joints, but the pizza saved the vibe.

Wood fire Pizza in East Oakland?! Count me in. I had to order two pies and it took 15 minutes, 45 minutes before they close. It was Hella good! We got the supreme and the pizza with potato. We added bacon and the fennel chicken sausage, and it was perfect.
The owner handed me this fun “pizza crack“ seasoning, which is divided in dime bags 😂 he chose the bag with the smiley face and I jokingly mentioned the movie half-baked and Mr. Nice guy picking up pizzas, feeding caramel popcorn to a diabetic course. The owner entertained my humor and chopped it up with me while the second pizza finished in the oven once I arrived.
I’ll definitely be back and will take pictures to better represent what delicious pizza East Oakland has!

Great pizza, unique flavors and awesome staff. Our go to for pizza night. I wish you could carry them over to Degrees across the street, would be the perfect combo.

This place is always delicious. If I could I would have pizza every day
Our favorite almost-local pizza place. Particularly loved the Italiano. Really high-quality ingredients, well-made thin crust pizza and great service. Just a one-person operation on the day we went. We also pick up pizza dough kits from our local market, which are perfect for easy dinner nights.

Fist of Flour catered my parent’s surprise birthday party last weekend and I couldn’t wait to leave my review. Every detail was seamless. James, the owner, was communicative, reasonable, helpful and creative with some of our unique requests (i.e. waiting down the block with his large mobile oven to not ruin the surprise). His pricing is reasonable for the amount of food provided. The pizza was incredible, came out piping hot fresh from his mobile oven, and salads were the perfect compliment. His team member was also so helpful and efficient. I could not speak more highly of my experience working with Fist of Flour. 10/10.

I’m surprised by all the high ratings. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but the pizza was pretty underwhelming. Crust was thin, but not crisp like New York style. Also wasn’t Italian style, as it was pretty bland.I much prefer Mama’s Boy for New York style and Lucia’s for Italian.
