You might be able to get a table on the sidewalk at this absolutely bangin', easily top 3 east bay pizza spot, but mostly this is a tiny takeout spot -- though you might be compelled to finish your slice or pie before your even reach your car.

NYC style crispy crust pies cooked well done have a very satisfying initial crunch when you bite into it. Stellar ingredients a decent selection of slices and special pies, Pizza Ponte snuck under the radar without much fanfare, but should make everyone's top east bay list.

This is one of the best pies in the bay area. Got the cheese with added pesto. They added basil leaves too, which was a nice touch. The tomato sauce was on the sweeter side which didn’t bother me one bit but it’s worth noting. I grew up in the area and wish there was something this good when I was a kid. Just a few doors down from the original Genova deli, this tiny pizza spot is an asset to the neighborhood and greater bay area. The only complaint is the pizza boxes are TOO NICE. The Oakland oak tree logo was a nice touch but with the glossy cardboard, I didn’t know whether to recycle, compost or hang it on my wall. With pizza this good, we don’t need a glossy pizza box.

The test of good New York style pizza is a plain slice, and this place did not disappoint. Perfectly crisp crust, bright fresh sauce, the right amount of cheese (good cheese I might add). There are only two outside tables and no other seating - a few more tables would be nice. The guys working there are lovely and they know their pizza. We will go back for takeout, and for slices if they add a bit more seating.

This is New York style plus plus pizza, both in the crust and the toppings. However, unlike some New York style pizza, it is not over-covered in toppings so you can still taste the crust and not a cheese bomb. The ingredients and toppings were top quality. There is no indoor seating, though there is a couple of tables out front, which are typically in use. It’s a top five pizza in the Bay Area for sure.

Tried contacting the establishment about my order being burnt with no response. Both pizzas and calzone were burnt.

The most crack pizza EVER!! This pizza beats the pizza I had in Rome, which until now, was top of my list! Family-owned and very sweet, hard working family. Greek Goddess and Genoa Pesto pizzas are must-have! And don’t forget to ask for their house made “ranch” to put on top! Soooo good!

Fantastic. Delicious pizza, the staff was so kind and friendly to me and my two very small kids even though they’re a little psychotic, they let us sample a new sandwich they’re working on that is absolutely amazing. My 3yo son loved it and has asked to go back every single day. My baby spilled our soda and one of the customers in the store bought us a new one unsolicited, altogether a perfect experience and we will be back. We loved every second, we will be back.

Great pizza! Small shop, which is an indicator that it’s going to be delicious! One of the workers let us try the sandwich that they are going to release later this week. 10/10. I’m definitely coming back once they release the sandwich.

Try the bad guy and buffalo chicken, you wont be disappointed.

This is my go-to pizza slice joint on Telegraph. Great pizza options and a quick turn around with friendly service. I typically eat inside and it’s great that they give you squirt bottles of the sauces if you want extra. Buffalo chicken pizza is my favorite!
