The meatlover's pizza that we had was good in all respects besides the fact that it was too salty. Geez, that's a shame. Four stars if they fix this issue. Pizza is religious to me. Service is decent, atmosphere is casual, a good place to bring your mates. The salads were very, very good however. Like, I would go here for just the salad. I had the spinach salad with my pizza and I liked it more than the pizza. The dressing was good.... It had blue cheese, pecans, & apple pieces. read more

Would have gave this a zero star the owner and staff are very rude. Food was ok at best took forever.

HEALTH CONCERN STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS My friend & I went here for lunch today & found hairs in BOTH of our pizzas. We wasted $20 & even tipped them at time of purchase just to find these hairs. I'm disgusted. It ruined our appetite for the rest of the day. We're both blonde hair blue eyed girls so there's not a single black hair on our bodies. (See pictures) read more

A great neighborhood place for good pizza and a very friendly staff. I'm new to Berkeley. Been working here for 20 years. But now live here. My first experience at Bobbie G's was awesome. When I go there now I feel like Norm on Cheers. Good place. read more

New to opinion writing but felt strongly about my bad experience. Decided to go to the EB for something different. Popped into this place, cuz I like pizza.The guy that served me was really rude. I didn't catch his name, but I will never go back because of his meanness. The food wasn't very good and there wasn't really an atmosphere in the place. Overall, it was the service that would make me never go back. Who needs attitude? read more

Huge fan of bobby g's. Trivia night on Wednesdays is a blast. The pizza is always so quick to come and is fantastic. Don't sleep on the bar, first place nearby where I've gotten pliny on tap. Awesome place to catch a game or catch up with friends read more

Made a last minute decision to call in a pizza on the road while headed to a job in Mendocino... At first I was skeptical about driving and eating pizza..... BEST decision ever! This little pit stop wasn't far from the high way and who would have known that this pizza makes the perfect drivable dinner! We got the mushroom pie with added bacon.. it was killer! Staff rocked and were super awesome! If you need a quick road snack or are in the area ya gotta stop in here or call in an order for pick up! Yum! read more

Wow We are from Sac. Randomly came here. Everything we had was great. Chicken wings, pizza, salad, panini read more

I went there last year to watch the basketball playoffs. The pizza was horrible and the service was practically nonexistent. This place is sandwiched between some of the best pizza places in Berkeley, namely, roses, and Lucia's. I will never go back to this place and encourage everybody who wants a good pizza to move on. read more

Random Date Night with the Mr. , decided to walk around Berkeley with nowhere in particular . Spotted Bobby G's, walked nothing fancy table, TV's annnnnd then I seen the menu! A lot of different specialty pizzas BUT you can build your own (That made my heart smile ) . The Mr. got his usual Pepperoni & Pineapple, for me Buffalo Chicken ,Jalapeño, Garlic ,Sausage and Mushrooms. Pizza is thin but the ingredients pack a mean punch !! We both enjoyed our slices. If in Berkeley, give them a try! read more

Bobby G's Pizzeria was having some new beers on tap as part of Beer week 2013, so I ventured in for a pizza and a beer (2-12-13) Ordered up two slices w/ three toppings (toppings .50 each) and a pint of beer. Pull out my wallet, reach for a ten dollar bill to pay when suddenly he hits me with a total for $15.80. I think to myself,- no problem, he got my order wrong. So I repeat, two pizzas and a beer. And he repeats $15.80. Seriously? He nods saying Uncle Sam needs his. As is life, I suppose. The pint is a delicious hoppy IPA called Triple Voodoo. The pizza comes out lukewarm and tastes just okay. Unfortunately, the pizza slices are just medium sized too. We order slices with sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts--BTW, great tasting artichoke hearts. The pizzeria layout is spacious, great for large groups, and basically it's a mixture of dining tables and lounge chairs with multiple TVs at different viewing angles. What you're looking at paying: -pizza slices start at $3 bucks. -Addt'l toppings are .50 cents. My order: 2 pizzas (w/ three toppings) + 1 beer = $15.80 (++) good selection of beer. (-/+) pizza is hit or miss (---) $$$ pricey for just pizza & beer read more

My friends and I had been coming here monthly for going on a year. It was to a certain extent a meme based off the fun restaurant name, but any excuse for a special night out inevitably led us back to the lively indoor/outdoor seating and solid pizza. If you plan on coming here you will likely have a fun time--the seating indoors is cozy but cheery, the outdoor seating has a brilliant atmosphere (often helped by live music), and the pizza ranges from unproblematic to somewhat interesting. That said we won't be coming back ever again. The aura encapsulated in our chears for Bobby g's was never about the restaurant being truly special. Last time we went out we made the mistake of ordering the dessert pizza. It was supposed to be topped with bananas although they apparently decided to stop using bananas altogether and were nice enough to put canned pineapple and apples on top instead. This was made even more gross by the fact that the "pizza" it came on top of was an ugly and small burnt black paper thin crust. It was inedible even to a table of hungry college students so we promptly tried to send the dish back and get a refund. Despite spending quite literally into the 4-digits over the course of the year, the restaurant head angrily refused and told us "that's life" and proudly said the blackened disc always looked like that anyways. After arguing bitterly for 5 minutes the restaurant head found a way to cruelly and mistakenly throw the waiter under the bus over the banana mix-up so he could give us our like 10 dollars back. So instead of just giving the regular customers 10 dollars back over an almost untouched burnt disaster, he decided to lose the hundreds+ of dollars we would have spent in the future. If you make a restaurant based heavily around the ambiance and friendly vibes you can't operate like that. I'm not saying this to dissuade people from checking the place out but I sincerely want Bobby G's to reflect on what happened. read more

Really good and flavorful pizza. Pretty impressed with the vegetarian options. Definitely a place to keep in mind when around Berkeley. Faster food preparation would have made it a 5 star review! read more

Bobby G's Pizzeria - Curry pizza, fries, non-alcoholic ginger beer - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Monster pizza that rocks your socks! You'll definitely leave here satisfied. This is a sports bar. There are big screens playing all the games and groups of guys enjoying pints and munching on some pies while routing for their teams. The place is busy and loud, so come here with that in mind. Ordering is a bit confusing as the counter is huge, but the menu options are quite large and there's a pie for every taste. Also, Bobby G's big on quantity, so order accordingly. The taste of the pizza is fantastic. It's the perfect balance of flavors and the dough is soft, firm, and a little floppy all at the same time. We'll definitely be back. read more

Been buying whole pizzas here for my staff almost on a weekly basis prior to the Coronavirus. I just met the owner or possibly manager today who was very friendly. Bobby G's is a staff favorite.

Beer is politely priced and served. A slice of cheese pizza has NO noticeable cheese but is flavorful. Nice environment

Classic pizza place that's a go-to on a game day! The pizza here is not too oily, plenty of fresh toppings, great selection of them, just one of the best pizza places in Berkeley They even have a bar, so really a good place to grab beer and pizza! The only thing is that there is no designated parking spots and it's always hard to find street parking in downtown Berkeley. read more

I had to place a large order for an extremely chaotic student film crew. Gretchen was an absolute angel and extremely patient with me as I had to change the order a couple of times. I know I was being a huge pain in the butt but she didn't show an ounce of frustration. She was super nice and made me feel a lot better after a stressful day. Now I'm a Bobby G's stan for life! read more

I got two slices of pizza - one with jalapeño and pineapple, the other with pesto and olives. The pineapples looked like they came from a can and the jalapeños were super light and not spicy at all, so I was really displeased with that slice from the beginning to end. The pesto and olives slice was significantly better and made up for the rest of the meal. The pesto was some of the best I've ever head and mixed well with the cheese, and the olives were a nice touch. Overall, really really solid Pizza, probably one of the best in Berkeley. I also went there to watch some sports and they had really good Wi-Fi, lots of TVs and a really good atmosphere! read more

We visited on a Sunday during a football game. Not too busy and just enough people that were watching the game and cheering to make it fun. Great selection of beers on tap. Bartenders are friendly and are really cool about sampling. We ordered garlic bread which was awesome - foccacia, fresh garlic, and cheese with marinara dipping sauce. The fried pizza was pretty good. read more

We came here on the promise of "New York-style" pizza and the solid four star rating. Bobby G's did not live up to the hype. The pizza's way doughier than any New Yorker would tolerate and after trying it, the rating feels inflated by its proximity to Cal. I wouldn't rush back for a pie from Bobby G's. read more

Bobby G's always reminds me of World Cup soccer and Wimbeldon, and the US Open (tennis) as well, so maybe Bobby G's just reminds me of international summer sporting events. There are plenty of TVs to watch whatever you want, including some really random activities that I don't even consider sports, although they're aired on ESPN and related stations. The pizza is good, and they even have decent salad, which you wouldn't expect from a sports bar, but I'll vouch for it, and by now, I think you know you can trust me when it comes to salad. Even though it is a sports bar, it's not dark inside, and it feels perfectly appropriate for a casual lunch-break meal, without the drinky-drinkies of course. It's pretty empty at lunch hour, so don't expect anything nearing table service during that time; but it is a pleasant place to eat a slice, watch part of a game (or a couple of games in a tennis set), and just look at University Avenue out the nice big windows. Even loud, neverending Brexit arguments and counter-explanations won't ruin your time, or at least they shouldn't. read more

Really yummy pizza! Pretty decent size of a restaurant, considering it's on University Avenue. Customer service was great. Good for the price. I would definitely stop by again, when I am in town again. read more

You might as well go to McDonald's across the street. If you want this pizza you should instead put a pound of salt on a piece of cardboard cuz that's about what this pizza tasted like. Poor service as well. The worker was on a phone call the entire time and paid no attention to anyone as they ordered. read more

Came here last night when they were having their weekly Wednesday trivia night. We ordered the Mushrooms and Olives 18in ($27.25) and a beer each. Each slice was humongous and just absolutely delicious (and very filling). On the oily scale, it was probably a 8/10, you know the type you consider blotting before you eat. It was also pretty darn cheesy- enough to get that long string of melted cheese after biting into your slice. The beer selection is normal and I guess changes every Wednesday based on the vendor thats participating in the games. The trivia night itself was entertaining. The Berkeley community- vibes are strong and I suggest bringing your A team when participating because the questions are harder than Kips and/or Superb trivia nights. Service was fantastic and the waiters also come around and suggest hints or answers which is fun! TLDR, bomb pizza and i don't really suggest coming here on wednesday nights if you're not participating in trivia night. other than that, AMAZING. read more

Bobby G's Pizzeria - Mushrooms and Olives 18in ($27.25) - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

It's obvious when someone is trying to close early. Just try to hide it a little better. The manager in charge was nothing but passive aggressive. A concert had just let out, instead of trying to cash, he checked everyone at the door with "don't get comfortable, we are only serving pizza" ...yeah dude... you're a pizza place. 10/10 wont come back. The waitress in that was working at the time was wonderful though. Too bad about that manager. read more

Pizza was really good, but customer service was not. The shishito peppers were on board/advertised as $7. Sell it at that price even if the POS system doesn't ring it up at that price. Customer is right and you should sell it as the price on the menu board! read more

Everything is terrible here. Pizza is very meh. Service is bad but beer selection is ok. Strange crew of DUDES hanging .

It was about 1am and this was one of the last places open on a very late Friday night, so my friends and I opted to hit this place instead of the delicious yet gluttonous Halal Guys down the street. The place was pretty dead since it was pretty late. There's an actual bar in here, as well as a bunch of tables. For California pizza (as it tends to leave a lot on the table for my tastes), this was as good as any east coast pizza I've had. We opted for the half mushroom, half pepperoni pie. I didn't partake in the 'shrooms, but the pepperoni was really good. Just very tasty all around. The restaurant also has a pretty good beer selection; opted into the Anderson Valley amber ale (one of my personal favorites), which hit the spot. I would definitely come back if ever near DT Berkeley again. read more

Omg I freaking loved their pizza. My friends and I were at a concert deon doors down and wanted a quick bite. We ordered slices of pepperoni pizza and wow it was sooo delicious! The crust was thin just how I like it and it hit the spot. I would definitely go back here. I wish they delivered to alameda read more

Used to be one of my favorite places! I ordered Roasted chili pepper pie and they forgot to put avocado. When I asked they proceeded to say avocado is never put on this pizza. I assumed they stopped putting it but I came back to my car and checked it does say "fresh avocado" both online and on the paper menu I got from the restaurant. Ended up paying $28 for a pizza with cheese and a couple of pieces of onions and bell peppers per slice. read more

I'm more of a fan of Bobby G's pasta than I am of their pizza. Granted, I've never had an entire pie. For me, I usually go in and just order a slice with a few added toppings. Bobby G's regular thin crust doesn't excite me. The first time I had pizza here I took one look at the crust which is very uniform around the edges and I immediately linked it with the cookie cutter crust from fast food giant Domino's. The taste of the crust isn't very spectacular either. If anything it often tastes burned. The sauce is thin and sweet. Usually I've noticed when ordering just a slice that they'll just add your toppings of choice onto a pre-baked cheese slice and drizzle a little extra cheese on top to try to keep it in place (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kQOYM3ZH-wIh02pcVVjmyw?select=RC4QWgIBynqcs58tHvdh1A). The problem with that is the slice doesn't taste fresh; it just tastes like re-heated pizza. The toppings don't stick either. In fact, they roll right off of the slice as soon as you begin to bite it. The slice is a good size though, and they don't hold back on the toppings. A single slice with a drink would suffice for a meal. I've had pasta here several times, and I really like their pasta especially the Sweet Italian Sausage pasta. The rigatoni is cooked al dente and the selection features lots of sausage and mushrooms. The mushrooms are sliced, and the sausage are in big clumps combined in a creamy white sauce and dusted with freshly grated parmesan and parsley so that it appears to have snow on top of a bowl. Delicious! They offer a ten percent student discount, and I'm pretty certain students aren't as picky about their pizza as I am. In fact, had Bobby G's been around back when I was attending Cal I'm certain that I'd be dining here often. Free wi-fi, televisions on both side walls and an impressive beer selection would have kept me coming back. Bobby G's also serves paninis, thick crust pizzas and pan-fried pizzas. I haven't tried any of that but fully intend to on future visits. The staff is very friendly. read more

I was glad to see a NYC style pizza place in the area. What's even cooler is the environment; jazz, sports on the tele, art. A cafe like atmosphere. The people are friendly and they carry Guinness. So what's the problem? I thought the pizza was only ok. I liked the crust on the edge but it was a big soggy and chewy in the middle. I'd have to say in an area that's rife with pizza competition, it's hard to say that it's all about the pizza here. However the ambience and vibe make it still worth trying. 3.5 stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update: It's cool to see a proprietor that's passionate about their craft. Robert PM'd me and was eager for input. Since I'd only been once, I'm definitely willing to go back and give it another go as it's great to see that they do care a lot about their product. read more

Bring student ID for 10% discount! SERVICE: The service was 5 star worthy in my book. I called in and ordered togo, and showed up in 20 minutes just like they said and my pizza was ready. The guy completing my order was very friendly, and even asked if I had a student ID for a discount (which I didn't know about, so it's cool that he pointed it out to me). Upon grabbing my pizza he also opened it up in front of me for quality check and asked if everything looked ok and whether or not I wanted any parmesan/peppers. All around great service FOOD: I ordered a small BLT pizza with extra tomatoes. The small is 8 slices (12") and more than enough for 2 big meals. The pizza was great! House made bacon mayo?! Awesome. There was plenty of bacon and lettuce, but even though I asked for extra tomatoes it could have used more to cut the heavy fat and grease. The pizza had great attention to detail, with a crispy crust, and even some freshly grated parmesan and parsley as garnish. The lettuce went very well with the greasy pizza - all around a Great pizza! With the 10% student discount the small came out to just under $16. TIP: Throw some avocado on it if you have some at home. Really takes it to the next level *droooooool* read more

In a college town, pizza joint are a dime a dozen. In fact there are just as many pizza venues as there are coffee shops... But what set's Bobby G apart from the rest is its commitment to deliver quality pizza at a affordable rate. Fresh organic ingredients is what is used here. While its hard to surpass Cheeseboard and Pie-in-the-Sky, Bobby G is closing the gap. The flat screen TV are awesome during Cal game days. Oh, the braille menu is an awesome option offer to its customers... I wish more establishment was this thoughtful! read more

Bobby G's has AMAZING pizza that they make from scratch and fresh upon order. I wasn't really expecting much more than pizza since it's fairly hard to mess up pizza... But after the first bite, I wanted to eat the whole small pie by myself! My boyfriend and I ordered a small (regular sized) Meat Lovers pizza. Usually Meat Lovers pizza leave me feeling super bloated and uncomfortable since there is so much meat on it, but at Bobby G's the meat to pizza to flavor ratio was PERFECT! Bobby G's Pizzeria's pizza is officially the best pizza I've ever had! (: Unfortunately, the price was definitely on the steep side for pizza so I can't frequent here as much as I want to, but I'll definitely stop by once in awhile! They also have a small bar area with beer on tap for those who are looking for a chill place! read more
