Personal pepperoni pizza
Rae P.

Tried out Blondie's while I was in Berkeley today visiting my college student. It was getting dark so we did a Grubhub then ran in to get it. I will say, the personal pizza was super flavorful oozing cheese with tasty pepperoni and thick crust. I did appreciate it being hot. I'd say it was a good 14.00 spent. Oh the service was good too, I picked up in no time after placing the order. It wasn't crowded which was good.

Iconic Blondies

Haven't been back in over 30 years! While the slices are larger than I remembered them, I feel they're also doughier, which I grew out of as my taste matured over the years. The sauce, cheese and toppings which were plentiful tasted great. I just prefer thinner crusts now.

We had seen someone carrying a slice of Blondie's Pizza that looked and smelled really good, so the next time we were in the area around lunch time we had to try it. We went with a large pepperoni sausage pizza. After taking it home, about an hour away, it was still warm and tasted good. The reason for the low rating is because I do not like thick crust pizza. The flavor was ok, but not enough to look past the thick crust that I do not care for, so I will most likely not go back. The location is clean and the service was quick and friendly. Overall, it works for people who like that thick crust style of pizza.

Cheese slices
Han-Nha T.

Solid food and large slices for $8. I personally wishes slices were smaller and cheaper so I could get multiple different slices, but oh well. Some people's go-to spot for pizza in the area. I liked how the tomato sauce was just straight tomato and not sweet or anything. At pickup, you get a cheese pull but it is not sloppy. When it cools, cheese doesn't get hard either. Make sure to order ahead as it can be crowded and wait times can be long.

Pepperoni Pizza

Blondie's is a Berkeley institution. I went quite a bit in college, always an essential stop when visiting friends. The pizza is huge and delicious --it was more than just nostalgia! There is nothing special about the service but the place was very cleaned up from last time I was there.

Menu for whole pies
Ted R.

Not the most amazing pie given all the upper urust gourmet pizza places that have opened in Berkeley. But Blondie's still knows how to crank out slices that are very satisfying for a quick bite. I got their classic pepperoni and it still plentifully loaded with beef pepperoni on a slice sizable enough to make you think twice before ordering two of them. I stuck with one. Something about the texture does not say dough prepared daily to my palate. Still, it's quick and delicious. The spicy tomato sauce and four cheese blend offer a nice balance to the doughy crust. Slices start as $6.99 for cheese. Vegetarian and a daily special are also available. Whole pies too -- $14 for a small cheese pie. 12 varieties to choose from and sizes ranging from 10' to the 22" Godzilla pizza. Not to mention wings or breadsticks. Order from a cashier or, when it's busy, a kiosk. For seating, there are only 3 small tables + 3 chairs at the window counter. Lot's of standing room or it's easy food to walk with. If you can't find street parking, the Telegraph-Channing lot is relatively inexpensive at $3/hour. Enter from Channing Way or Durant Ave.

Nostalgia much? I grew up with Blondie's Pizza. I have loved this place since I was a teenager & I love it even more now. For more than one reason. For one it brings back so many good memories, Blondie's always makes me happy. The second reason is they now have 100% BEEF PEPERONI! You heard me, 100% BEEF PEPPERONI! For some people that's not a big deal. For someone who hasn't eaten pork their whole life & always has to avoid getting pepperoni on their pizza, its a HUGE freaking deal. I love, love, love when the rare occasion happens that I get to enjoy BEEF PEPPERONI on my pizza. OK besides that, the pizza is amazing. I was literally closing my eyes and in my happy place the whole time. Now for those that never had BEEF PEPPERONI, please go try it. It is so much higher quality than pork pepperoni, so I've been told. I plan to make many more trips in the near future, thats how excited it made me. By the way I loved the cheese just as much, yum yummy. Pro tip: parking is hard, obviously, downtown Berkeley and all. So either walk, Uber, find parking, take the bus, or do as I do and tag team it and drop off a friend to go order for the whole car and drive around until they are ready to be picked up. Do what you have to, just get there. Now go enjoy yourself, you can thank me later.

Hyphy Slice
Victor V.

Went to Cal game last Saturday afternoon and after the game before heading home I had to stop at an old stomping ground and grab a slice. When I got there decided to go with a slice I was unfamiliar with,Hyphy slice,has pepperoni,pineapple,olives and jalapeños with some extra cheese thrown on top.It really was tasty,really hit the spot when u need that quick bite before the long drive home. If u ever find yourself in Berkeley and want a quality slice,u can't go wrong choosing Blondies,still great after all these years...

I love Blondie's! My favorite pizza in Berkeley. The crust is so fresh & fluffy. I think about the sauce long after my pizza is gone My favorite is pepperoni. The staff is friendly, perceptive and accommodating. One of my favorite ways of dining is to look out on the street while eating. Berkeley is a vibrant city and viewing it from Blondie's is one of my favorite pastimes. If you are coming by car, there is street parking.

Philip W.

Walked up to the kiosk to place an order for pizza for my staff. The kiosk makes ordering easy, but this place gets busy. You can still get a good slice of pizza from them. They have seats for this place, but mostly it's for going.

Pepperoni Pizza & Cheese Pizza individual size
Stephanie D.

I rarely crave pizza, but when I do it's blondies. This is a staple in my home - my husband is originally from SF and there's nothing better than showing him what the best pizza is around Berkeley. For some reason, it's hard for me to get it delivered because I believe it taste so much better when you pick it up and add the toppings there.

Pizza is always good here. Service is always welcoming. Ambience it depends what day you come it's lit here.

Marlon T.

Blondie's is such a classic Bay Area spot. It's been around forever, and it definitely has that old-school pizza joint vibe. The slices are solid, not the best you'll ever have, but good enough to hit the spot. They charge $1 for ranch. For me, there's a lot of nostalgia tied to this place, so grabbing a slice always brings back memories.

Other than that you have to order your pizza hole, but the telegraph location there's two slices anywhere you want them this place is a mess if you're at Berkeley a student or just family visit out of town.!!!

The place used to be known for their vegetarian pizza when my friends went to school in Berkeley. Serivce was great! There were only 2 people working today when we got there and pizza came out pretty fast. They were accommodating with us also which we really appreciated. 5/5: because of the service. The pizza is pretty pricey. It came out to little over $40 with tips. The space is huge.

Everything about our experience at Pizzeria Da Laura in Berkeley was absolutely perfect!…read more The meatballs were delicious--so flavorful, tender, and moist, and the sauce was absolutely incredible. And the arancini... hands down, the best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy on the outside and so delicious on the inside. We ordered The Standard pizza, and it was baked to perfection! The crust was perfect, the sauce was delicious, and every topping could be tasted in every single bite. Everything came together so beautifully. The ambiance was amazing too--warm, inviting, and the perfect setting for a great meal. The service was great! This was one of those meals where everything was just right. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and an experience we truly enjoyed. We'll definitely be back!

Brief Summary: - Close to the Downtown Berkeley BART station…read more- Indoor and outdoor seating available - Right next to it there is a shop where you can purchase slices and ingredients Lately, this is the family's favorite pizza place. The first time we tried this was a few years ago, and one of my family members wanted to try a new place to eat pizza and had been exploring one almost once a month cadence. Then we tried here, and we were amazed and became our favorite. One of the reasons why we like going here more often than the other restaurants, the food of course, but the comfortable restaurant atmosphere. Still to this day we chose to walk-in and test our luck than take a reservation, and so far we were able to get a seat. In the most recent visit, there was a university game, so there was a longer wait time. The good thing about waiting was there were dedicated seats to wait, or in the first few minutes we hung out in the shop next door. Here, visitors can choose to buy and take home a slice instead of dining in, order food or shop for ingredients. The pizzas we've eaten so far are the Sicily style and this one has a lovely texture. Its appearance is like pillows. It's lightly-crispy on the edges, even the under-layer. It holds the pizza toppings without bending. We also tried a pizza named the most thinnest pizza, and we loved this one too. This one was located under the Speciality menu, so this didn't have topping customization. We loved that while it was very thin it still held the toppings too. I also love stracciatella cheese, so I also tasted the milkiness while eating this slice. We've also loved the pasta and have been trying a new menu each time. The one we tried recently had a fun texture, like a gentle crunch, and the pesto sauce was easy to eat, didn't get heavy in the end of the meal. I also tried a salad that was being served to most of the tables on this particular evening; a bowl of purple leafs, purple onions, and beets. The chicory leaf had a subtle bitterness to it, but with the sweet beet, it balanced it out. I also love goat cheese, and it was creamy. Wrapping up the review, it gave me a soft joy when the staff recognized and greeted us. The staff were kind and attentive since our first visit,, so his was another part that we liked during our eating experience. We'll definitely visit again when we're craving pizza.

I came to Rose Pizzeria on a Thursday night and the 45 minute wait was worth it…read more It's a cute small restaurant that if you're not paying attention while walking or driving, you will miss this gold mine. Their menu is stacked with so many items from appetizers, drinks, and then pizzas. I started off with some olives, and they were perfect. Not sure where they sourced them from. I ordered the Old Faithful and I should've ordered two. It was so good with all of the flavors combining in each bite, and pairing it with their hot honey, it was the perfect combination among sweet, spicy, and savory. I can't wait to come back and try more pizzas!

Rose Pizzeria, now boasting two locations, obviously is superb to start its Bay Area sprawl. So,…read moreit's no shocker that I'll say she's really good. I tried their pie for the first time, sharing a She Wolf pizza and spicy Caesar between our party of two. They strictly serve 14 inch thin crust pies, which is a decent amount of food split between 2, if you supplement with a starter course. The She Wolf, littered with olives and garlic confit, is sublime, and the dollops of burrata thoughtfully portioned on every slice make a rich, excellent contrast to the tangy sauce underneath. I'd imagine Portnoy being likely pleased with the undercarriage, which was stiff enough to not forfeit any of its structural integrity nor toppings to the almost-inevitable flop. The spicy Caesar is a damn good Caesar and not over nor under dressed. Next time, I'd add some anchovies. In Carrie Bradshaw fashion, I also indulged in a chilled red with my pizza this afternoon while people watching on their adorable patio. Is there really a better lunch to be had?
