    One of my go to pizza spots in the bay. They used to be by Fieldworks but now they're by Original Pattern Brewery. Original Pattern has great beer as well. The beer compliments the pizza so well. Was slightly disappointed this trip because they burnt our crust a little more than usual but other than that solid delicious pizza!

    Get the outside voice! Because who doesn't love carbs on carbs?!? The tater tots were a hit with everyone! I love their crust... such a great local pizza spot & being at the brewery is an even bigger plus! Service was quick and the rustic vibes go with the pizza! This is a repeat meal and it's worth it to say - if they keep serving pie this fly - I'll keep coming back!

    The Devil's Doorbell pizza: roasted corn, pepperoni, basil, pickled onions, and garlic. Gas!  Can't wait to order again!

    Drove past Citizen Pizza in front of Original Pattern Brewing in Jack London Square and had to stop to finally try one of their thin crust pies. This is one of Original Pattern's regular "home" pop-up food vendors, and they are experts at what they do. Their space is located on the patio outside, and they have three pizza ovens for preparing all hot menu options. From an amazing crust with flavor and perfect pizza oven char to the unique topping combinations in every menu option, you can't go wrong. We were lucky to arrive before closing time on a slow Sunday afternoon, so got an order in for pizza and shishito peppers. We found seats, grabbed a few brews from Original Pattern, and then in no time our food was ready. Pizza crust had great structural integrity and held up to the toppings. I got the unusually named Devil's Doorbell, and it definitely rang the delicious bell for me! Roasted corn and pepperoni played well together, and the fresh basil and garlic amped up the flavor. A great combo of late-summer yumminess. Pie size is great for sharing with another, but if you're hungry you can easily leave happy and full finishing one by yourself with a delicious Original Pattern beer to wash it all down. Will be coming back again soon to taste a few other pizza options. Their menu reflects what's in season, so there's always something fresh to bring you back for more.

    Decently tasty and decently made although a bit soft and a soggy / floppy for my liking. The biggest issue I had was an apparently lack of salt / seasoning. Yes I prefer more bold and salty flavors but to me it was a bit bland and lacking, especially when you consider eating it alongside beer, you kinda want those salty flavors. A bit of a discrepancy between the good appearance but mild flavor

    Citizen Pizza is one of those neighborhood spots you're just grateful exists. It's about half a block from us, and has become a go-to for good reason. The pizza is fresh, consistent, and thoughtfully made. Their Margherita is fantastic--balanced, crisp, and full of flavor. Seasonal specials rotate through and are always worth trying. You can tell there's care in what they put on the menu. It's connected to the brewery next door, which makes the whole experience even better. Sit outside, order a beer, and enjoy a hot pie straight from the oven. The pretzel sticks are a must--get them, and don't skip the dipping sauces. Simple, reliable, and always hits the mark. One of our favorites

    The pizza is so good here! I've also had their pizza when they do pop-ups at Calicraft brewery in Walnut Creek. Definitely recommend if you like pizza. The one with tots is my favorite!

    We came to the brewery tonight just looking for a light appetizer, but as soon as we walked by this pizzeria the smell of fresh bread and pizza coming out of the oven completely stopped us in our tracks. We couldn't resist and ended up ordering not one but three different pizzas. Honestly, it turned out to be one of the best pizza experiences I've had in a very long time, maybe even my life. Everything about it was spot on. The crust was perfectly thin and crisp, the flavors were incredible, and you could tell it was made with real care. What stood out to me was all the little details: instead of prepackaged Parmesan packets, they grate it fresh right onto your pizza. The ranch was homemade (and I'm usually picky about ranch, but theirs was delicious), and every bite of the pizza was next-level good. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Jeronica and Jeremy, who were cooking the pizzas. They were both fantastic Cooks and super friendly, and most importantly, so sweet to our little poodle, Julia Roberts, which we really appreciated. They're not just great at what they do, they're warm, welcoming people who make the whole experience even better. The beer at the brewery was solid, but the pizza is the reason I'd come back again and again. Five stars, no question! I'd recommend this place to anyone.

    The mothership pizza
    Andrew S.

    I normally order a pizza with meat like the Don Ho, but I finally tried the meatless Mothership pizza with pesto. I really enjoy red sauce on my pizzas, so I asked for some red sauce and they were able to drizzle some onto the pizza! Boy oh boy the mothership pizza was amazing! I'm a meat lover but this pizza was outta of this world. Lots of veggies and flavor, goes well with the pesto and I loved getting a drizzle of red sauce on top! I'm not a huge fan of pizza crust, but love the chewy thin crust at Citizen Pizza!

    Mothership
    Sarah Ann K.

    This spot is located just outside of a brewery. Each pie is made fresh out of the outdoor pizza ovens they use. The size of each pie is more of a personal size since each slice is basically paper thin. However, we split it between three people since we were going on a fun "pizza crawl" in the city that day lol. We got the mothership which included brussel sprouts, pesto, ricotta, sesame seeds, and red onion. The cheese was also very delicious but I really liked the uniqueness of toppings they offered and how fresh the ingredients taste! Workers are friendly and pizzas come out in less than 10-15 minutes. Seating is outdoors but covered. Would definitely come back to try their other pizzas!

    I've had Citizen Pizza a couple times now and it does not disappoint. I first found the pop-up at Ghost Town Brewing and enjoyed a Don Ho + Shishito Peppers. What a treat! I'm fully onboard with pineapple as a pizza topping, and the dough was flavorful and unique. I recently discovered that they are located at Original Pattern Brewing 7 days a week! I will definitely be going out of my way to seek another tasty pizza in the near future. Cheers!

    Margherita

    Awesome pies. The Margherita goes with everything. Friendly service. Order out front and wait for the pager to beep when it's ready. Perfect location inside Original Pattern Brewing.

    Yummy resident pop-up outside of OP. Pair it with a brew, dope bites! The Deets: + Order outside and pay directly with Citizen. + Pies and a couple of other sides are available + Vegan options are available +/- street parking only + Can run into the brewery and pair with an Original Pattern brew

    Went to Citizen Pizza as they setup shop right next to Calicraft. Beer and pizza - yeast siblings that were born to go together. We ordered an Outside Voice, Margherita, and a Last Bell. Took 20 or so minutes to get our food as they're made to order in limited oven space. The crust is quite nice - super thin and has some chew to it. However, due to the thickness, the pizzas don't go to far - 2 people could easily take one of these down. Flavors are great. The Outside Voice is super unique and tastes like a baked potato. Minor complaint - the crusts get quite a bit of char too them - more than most of our group liked. Looking forward to trying out some of their other interesting flavors next time.

The menu is small, but they really get to focus on the making the items they do have the best. We ordered a cheese pizza and it was delicious. We went in just wanting a slice each, but they don't offer slices until after 9pm. It was a good thing we had to order a full pizza. Because we almost ate the whole thing. So full of taste. I strongly recommend this location. Great pizza.

    A very strong 4 stars for the best wood fired New Haven style pizza I've had in the west coast…read more Pizza crust was generally excellent. Good taste. A tad salty. Crust had some char and could use some more bubbling in the center. Not sure if the temperature or thermal mass of the oven is just a tad low. Sauce was also excellent. Cheese was genuine mozz but with sparse coverage and no browning. Lots of parm finely shredded. Only slices or a whole (large) pie. Only two varieties. Plain and pepperoni. Overall, again the best New Haven pizza I've had on the west coast. By New Haven standards, a solid B+. Price was a bit expensive. Judging by the line out the door, that was not impeding sales in any way although the parking lot and beards suggest a healthy dot com and rich AI hipster contingent. There's a microbrewery next door and many people were walking their pizza over to have brews and pizza. Four stars means I'd definitely go if hungry but not sure if I'd drive out of my way to go.

At least I got to go a couple times before they closed and was able to try all the unique flavors that I wanted to try. The first time I went was with my family. We got a whole Ube pizza. The taste was good, and love the uniqueness of it. Even the dough is purple! There weren't that many people there when we went, so the service was quick. My second visit was closing weekend with a group of friends. I got to try two more flavors recommended by the server during my first visit - blackberry and longanisa. Both were very good in different ways. I think I preferred the blackberry slightly over longanisa. They had a lot of take out orders that day, and we got the last white dough (there were still Ube). Good thing we got what we got. Even though they were super busy, the service was still quick and pizza came out fast. I heard they opened up again in San Francisco but for take out only. So glad they reopened because after having the amazing pizzas right before they closed on Oakland, my friends and I were sad that we didn't go sooner. Can't wait to try again in the future.

Jeff, the owner and pizza maker, is so nice, warmly welcoming us upon arrival and inquired if we'd prefer indoor or outdoor seating. Beautiful day so opted for outdoor on their expansive back patio. Miso mushroom - new to me, savory and bright flavor. Yuzu and lemon acidity cuts into the savory of the mushroom and miso. Might be one of my new favorites. Soppresata - an OG item on the menu and one of my favorites. Simple classic pizza with soppresata topped with scallions and honey. Savory, sweet. The honey is perfect on this pizza. Longanisa - Filipino inspired with longanisa, baked egg, and tomato. Savory and sweet. Heaviest of the three pizzas. Comes with a side of sweet vinegar to drizzle on top. All three of these pizzas easily are favorites for me. They're super large and best to share with 2-3 people. All thin crust. 6 of us had these three pizzas and were able to finish it but were super stuffed. Wishing the best to Jeff and Spinning Dough's next adventure.

I don't know why the pies cost so much, but they are only a few blocks from our place, so I want to support the few restaurants that set up shop in West Oakland. However, I'm starting to sour on this place. I don't mind overpaying for pizza; that's just edible, but on a few occasions, I've been appalled by what these folks try to get away with. A couple of months ago, they gave us a pie that was so burnt I had to call to complain, and they replaced it with a less burnt pie. Perhaps they don't know that extremely burnt food is full of carcinogens. This week, we ordered our usual 18-inch pie. This pie was a Frankenstein pie; half of it tasted like it had been sitting under the lamp all day. A telltale sign is how stiff the cheese is; the old dough feels as if I'm chewing on rubber, and the slices are stiff and salty overall, though some slices taste a bit fresher and crunchier. I was disappointed. If you're going to overcharge for mediocre pizza, the least you could do is give people what they are paying for. If I wanted old, stale pizza, I would've asked for the slices that sit under the lamp all day. Moving forward, if we order from this place, I will walk over, place the order, and wait for it, so we don't get cheated again. This place is a reminder of why certain restaurants often fail. The food is overpriced, and they are inconsistent with their service, if not disrespectful, in how they sometimes treat and feed their customers. We're not pigs; we just like eating the sweet little pig.

We also ordered a side of their blue cheese and basil ranch. I didn't know ranch could get any better than plain ranch. Basil ranch was bright and also creamy. I've been here a few times before to watch a warriors game. They've got tons of seating and of course they stream all of the games. Great community vibes and you get to enjoy delicious pizza and drinks while you're here.

The cost of a whole pizza is $25, which is on the steeper side given that there is no protein.

The decor, the attitude, and the music all lean into it--they were blasting metal while I was there, which gives the place a fun, high-energy vibe that feels a little different from your typical pizza spot. If you're into that scene, you'll probably love it. The setup is super casual. You order at the counter and can hang out while you wait. They've got a great beer selection, and there's even an arcade area where you can play some games while your food is being made. It feels like the kind of place where you could easily kick back with friends for a while. I went with the Mortian, their all-meat pizza, and it was absolutely packed with toppings--pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, all garnished with prosciutto. If you're a meat lover, this one delivers. Every slice was loaded and really flavorful. The crust deserves a shout-out too. It's not thin crust, but it's also not deep dish. It lands right in that perfect middle zone--crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Really satisfying and a great base for all those toppings. Even though I ordered it to go, the pizza held up great and was seriously delicious. I'd absolutely order their pizza again and look forward to trying more of the menu next time.
