I love this place. The service and pizza are great and they don’t charge for extra toppings. The pizza names and combos are fun,

I would say that the pizza was created from Satan himself. It was so good I felt like I was doing something wrong. We got the pepperoni honey pizza and it was almost like Detroit style pizza. I always knew that Detroit would be derived from hell. JK but for real this environment is super interesting and is themed on heavy metal. The beer was focused mostly on ciders and was cool that I could get a flight. I would say that if you are cool with something different and are down with metal, show face here. Pro Tip; I saw a couple bring their first date here. I would maybe not do that. Maybe just your homies and play board games. 7.3/10

I’m no scientist, but this don’t look like a 10oz pour ? IDK who Hesher is, but still 5-stars because I’m stealing the ol’ Crooked City Cider glass and walking off with my lil tiny baby pour.

Call OPD if you want — good luck lasting longer than your predecessor in Oakland… ??>??

I loved the tap room that used to be here but, today I came for the pizza. I love Detroit style pizza, so I went out of my way to get here after seeing the photos online. However, I think I got burned by the infamous Sunday B-team. I mean, the pizza was good fine, but it was clearly NOT what was pictured. There was too much sauce and too little cheese. Individually, these issues aren't significant but together, and you've just created 'soup on bread.' It was disappointing. Any good resturantour will tell you, consistency is key. Let's re-train the Sunday Crew, capiche?

Lastly, the ciders were great and the bartender was too. Also, since I'm a white guy in his 50s, I am, of course, a fan of the decor but, two broken game machines and the complete lack of ANY Street Fighter is just blasphemy. Who am I kidding? I'll be back.

I love the atmosphere. The place feels badass. The menu art is super cool! The food was very satisfying and the waitress who brought it over to me was very kind. I’ll definitely be back.

Pool table, pinball, pints and pizza. Do I need to say more?
Metal music is usually playing and you can watch random movies on the TV screens. Open seating area is pretty nice too.

Thought about coming here for a long time. Finally did and I’ve now been back a couple times. Photos don’t do a service as the style is hard to describe. Too thin for grandma or Detroit, too thick for ‘tavern’ or bar pies. Too crispy of a crust to say handmade. Combine that with the cornmeal crust, and it’s kind of its own thing. Sauce skewed sweet.

I stumbled on this place looking for an ATM and was intrigued by the environment. When I entered, people played Warcraft board-type games, pool tables, and pinball machines. I decided to stay and try one of their small pepperoni pizzas and enjoy the games. The food came out quickly, and it was delicious. I decided to play on the pinball machines, and they have an app where you can upload money and play if you don't have coins. I thought keeping their customers engaged in their restaurant was a cool feature. Come check this place out if you want to chill and play and have a bite to eat.

Came in here after the Regal movies and I was thrilled because of my experience in Long Beach at the 4 Horsemen. While a cool spot, my full size pizza was so small. It tastes like a Trader Joe’s pizza, with such a small portion size. I’m sorry Bay Area folks but this isn’t quality.. this is robbery and there are way better spots then this… I could have replicated this experience by going to my liquor store and buying Trader Joe’s pizza at my own place.

This place is more of a brewery.

IMO overpriced and not worth, could be better. $60 bucks for a basically 3 slices of pizza deemed a regular pizza and small drinks.

Has pricy beer place tho.
