Despite the overwhelming libertarian slogans that cover nearly every surface, this is one of the top pizza spots in Berkeley and deserves more recognition. The thin crust is incredibly authentic and delicious. Be sure to try their daily specials – you won’t regret ordering a whole pizza! The patrons are always intriguing and fun to chat with. The main downside is having to endure the uncultured crowd as they inexplicably flood into the subway across the food court while you wait for your pizza in a usually quiet space.
The service here is exceptional, thanks to a staff member who has years of experience. The restaurant truly shines with its array of toppings and wonderfully crispy crusts. However, the real standout is the sandwiches. With ingredients like goat cheese, fresh salad leaves, cold cured meats, and artichokes, these sandwiches far surpass the limited offerings from the Subway next door. Anyone who appreciates good food should definitely give them a try.
The pizza was cooked to perfection, with a slight crunch and a delightful crispness on the edges. It had the ideal folds and cracks. The cheese was impeccably melted, almost as if it were broiled at the end—wonderful, with no runniness or stringiness. The Roma tomatoes and toppings all complemented each other beautifully, and the homemade pesto really tied everything together. This is hands down the BEST slice of classic Italian-style pizza I’ve had in Berkeley.
Great goat cheese sandwich! I enjoyed a casual political discussion with the more than amiable cashier! Fun little pizza joint well worth a 15 minute wait.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant, thanks to the attentive service from a staff member who's been in the business for years. The place really shines when it comes to toppings and perfectly crispy crusts. However, the true standout here is the sandwiches. With delectable ingredients like goat cheese, fresh salad leaves, sausage, and artichokes, they're a must-try. The sandwiches seem to capture the bittersweet essence of the nearby subway station, making them worth a visit for anyone who appreciates great food.
