50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Oakland

“My quest for the East Bay's best pies led me to June's, and let me tell you, it more than lived up to the hype. The line snaked out of the restaurant on a Saturday evening, but this is no ordinary queue—it's a pilgrimage. With 20 minutes to wait, we found sanctuary next door at Brix Factory Brewing, where we sipped on an IPA and noticed almost every patron had a pizza box on their table. It was a beautiful preview of what was to come.

The pizza itself was a masterpiece. The crust was a perfect blend of chewy and crisp, with just the right amount of char to give it a smoky, rustic finish. It was adorned with elegant ribbons of shaved Parmesan, which cascaded over the top like tinsel on a Christmas tree, along with a scattering of vibrant, fresh basil. But the real stars of the show were the hand-cut pepperoni. These little guys curled into delicious, crispy cups of flavor, cradling pools of savory oil in a way that just makes your soul sing.

I came seeking a pie, and I found a work of art. I will absolutely be back to worship at the altar of June's pizza. Five stars, hands down!“

“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.“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

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

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“I have been eating a lot of Detroit style pizza lately.
In my opinion, Carbona is the best in the Bay Area right now.
I ranked all the places I have tried from best to worst below.
Carbona, Joyride, Square Pie Guys, Little Star, Pizzeria Da Laura, Tony’s, Slice House, Hesher and 8 mile.“

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

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

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

“New York pizza is hands down the best if you’ve actually had it, and this place is the closest I’ve found in the East Bay. My usual go-to spots were Slice House and Mama Boys, but this tops both of them. The crust and flavor have that classic NY tang and chew I’ve been missing. I also tried their wings and cannoli—both really good. This is officially my new go-to pizza spot. Bonus: easy parking in Oakland!“

“This establishment is excellent very clean and customer service is amazing specifically an employee named Alex he was very friendly, interactive and informative about the products and helped me decide what pizza was best for me and my liking to purchase“

“I bought 12-personal sized pizza’s for my team and they were all super happy and they asked for me to order from there again the next time we order lunch. Well done and thank you for the great tasting food, friendly service and quick-turn around.“

“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!“

“I love pizza, and I mean really love some pizza. Being just a country boy from the woods of West Virginia, I had the great pleasure and opportunity thanks to my future sister-in-law to discover this place. Every day, they offer a different special, and the pizza here is truly something great to experience. I highly recommend checking this place out. It is not your regular pie you would expect from most other shops and is really good stuff. I look forward to my next trip out in the future to visit this place again 😊“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“Good Pizza! I appreciate this place for having reasonable prices so close to the STRIP! And I was able to have it delivered very late in the night!!“

“Absolutely the best pizza in NorCal. The owners are so nice and talked with us for 20 minutes. We tried all the slices and had a phenomenally bottle of wine at such a great price point. 5+ Stars.“

“Ordered via DoorDash. Got the 12” Chicken Pizza Masala and Creamy Garlic Sauce. Pizza was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of cheese and the garlic sauce is like the best ranch I’ve ever had. Lots of raw onions and raw tomatoes on the pizza. If you don’t like that, tell them. Don’t be a baby. Everything was delicious! I’d definitely order again.“

“Had a late lunch today and it was absolutely fabulous! Started with the Buratta Bruschetta , Ceasar salad and ended with The Meatball pizza ! Never disappointed!“

“I recently had the chance to try the pizza here, and I was genuinely impressed. The crust was perfectly baked—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce had a rich, savory flavor that complemented the generous toppings, The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving a classic, satisfying slice!“

“Muy rica las pizzas. Es un lugar agradable. Atienden muy bien.“

“Had a late lunch today and it was absolutely fabulous! Started with the Buratta Bruschetta , Ceasar salad and ended with The Meatball pizza ! Never disappointed!“

“un lugar donde se puede disfrutar de un ambiente tranquilo y un momento satisfactorio al probar su comida exquisita“

“One of the delicious pizza- highly recommended“

“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. ✨👍🏽✨“

“I absolutely recommend this place.“

“Great pizza, reminds me of pizza from New York! ����“

“We had an extra large chicken combo.

$45 for a pizza seemed pretty high, it was enough for 3 people though.

We probably won't go back for another considering the cost.

It seems that we could find a nice restaurant for only a few dollars more.“

“Very tasty and carefully seasoned. All dishes were perfection“

“Sunday night jazz meets up! What a treat!“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“Love that they have a vegan option but I wish they used a different cheese! Daiya isn’t the best for pizza IMO and there are so many options these days. The crust was chewy and the service was friendly / fast. I like Original Pattern but it would be nice to have a wine option as well.“

“Came in looking for wings and pizza, was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, restaurant was very clean and nice inside, didn’t get her name but the lady at the counter was so sweet and welcoming. I got lemon pepper wings and they were amazingg off the fist bite to the last, as well as the garlic knots! So delicious! Loved the lil Pac-Man game in the corner, 10/10 recommend. Too good!“

“Great pizza, brings back so many memories. I grew up eating Cybelle’s pizza in San Pablo, they eventually closed during my early teens and I searched for ever to find another one that tasted the same. 7 or so years ago I found another Cybelle’s near the Kaiser Oakland and frequented there. Eventually that location closed and today I found the Montclair location and to my surprise it was just like my childhood. Same great sauce and cheese. Definitely will be returning, my one of top three pizza places in the Bay Area.“

“Small place, but the winners for me are the salads, the Cobb in particular. I get the small Cobb with blue cheese dressing mixed in, and it's a great lunch salad with plenty of protein to keep me satiated for a while without having extra carbs and for a good price. I like that their hardboiled eggs are never overcooked! I dont really like pizza(even though I've made thousands of pizzas at a few jobs), but my kids always get a small, and they love it. I've tried it before, and I do admit that they have a good pizza dough. The man that's always there is nice, respectful & quick.“

“awesome pizza cool lil place on the corner, friendly atmosphere!“

“This was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Joe (Manager) was friendly, attentive, and provided a “family” feel to the place. Great beers on tap, delicious build your own pizza with fresh top quality ingredients.“

“You have to go there from brunch!! The dishes are packed with flavor and love. Fresh wonderful oatmeal, cheese eggs on toast! Omg all so delicious and Donna is an amazing host.“

“this is my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area to go to. They open early and close late, The staff is always so friendly and supportive, and Make the best food they are very understanding When it comes to customer inconveniences and they always serve with a smile I have never had a bad experience here been in the Bay Area for 1 year now and this Papa John’s has been my lifeline

everyone part of the team goes above and beyond just to make their customers happy Very friendly and chill environment“

“Pizza is very good, very friendly staff, surprisingly good beer, selection, poured in a nice tall & cold glass

Probably better to get Pizza to go here though, only reason they are not getting five stars

Specifically called aheas to see if they had a lunch buffet, was specifically told they did, and came in to find out they had lied and absolutely do not (had a salad bar, no pizzas out, none came out the entire time we stayed and ate the pizza we had to order)

No parmersian or crushed red pepper shakers for dine in, only packets

No silverware for dine in, only disposable plastic

Does NOT accept cash (especially frustrating when the meters outside are partially broken and only take quarters)

Enjoy the good pizza in the comfort of your own home, definitely the way I would recommend it for next time“

“Sports bar (pizza and beverages) At least 4 screens to watch sports on!“

“Best pizza I ever had, coming back to Cali for that, yum yum goodness“

“Seson para disfrutar Atención al cliente de calidad y súper limpios“

“I Fn love this place!!! I always order from then but even though their busy, they still took my order. It did take about 2 hours but it's worth the wait. I am a loyal customer and my experience so far, when they're not busy they SAY it's going to take 45 min to an hour, but I get it in 20 minutes. Tip please people!!! They are worth it. Thank you Pizza City!! I pick this over Little Cesar's any day! Great prices too. Lots of love!!!“

“Had east coast white clam pizza. I requested crispy crust that’s well blistered and burnt in places. Came exactly as I requested. Unfortunately, dough was way over salted!! I won’t order again, unless they offer a much less salty crust!“

“Fantastic beverages and food. Easy in and out. Great service!“

“It's the best for niggaz like me“

“If you love thick pizza, Detroit style pizza from 8MilePi is the way to go! So cheesy and filled with toppings. Smog pizza is my fav. There’s multiple locations so it’s convenient to satisfy my pizza cravings. They also have yummy wings and a packed chopped salad if you want other options. Their pizzas are huge and are so filling for lunch or dinner.“

“I absolutely love this place. It is ten feet from new apartment front door and their food is AMAZING. Family owned and operated with amazing kindness and quality. I've been there just about every day since moving here and have yet to get tired of their menu. 20 out of 10 recommend.“
