    Knucklehead
    Brad N.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Margherita
    J L.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Karan K.

    Perfect crust! If you like think Neapolitan style pizzas this is the spot. I tried the knucklehead for the first time at califraft at Walnut Creek only to find that they were even closer to me by original pattern at jack london. Got the pepperoni the second time and it still didn't disappoint. These guys need to open their own place, this is my go-to pizza spot now!

    The Outside Voice
    Stewart C.

    I was staying in Oakland about a year ago and ordered the Outside Voice after spending a whole day biking around, and it was a religious experience. I'm back in the Bay Area again, staying in SF but I'm considering taking a trip out to Oakland just to get their pizza again.

    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.

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.

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.

Their pizzas are already reliably delicious, but this deal is genuinely outstanding value since you get a large 18" pizza, your choice of a Caesar or dinner salad, and four very large sea salt chocolate chip cookies, all for $35. We grabbed two of these specials for a group of six and still had leftovers, so I'd say one combo easily feeds three people and could probably stretch to four as long as no one is absolutely starving. The pizzas themselves are ultra thin but still hold up structurally since you can lift and fold each slice without everything collapsing, which is exactly how I like to inhale my pizza. I personally wish the crust were just a touch more burnt and crackly on the edges, but even without that extra char, the flavor and bouncy chew of the dough were spot on. We ordered the Hot Italian and the Sausage & Roasted Garlic pies and absolutely loved both, especially the housemade sweet Italian sausage that appears on each, which is savory, slightly sweet, and super satisfying in every bite. Their house tomato sauce deserves its own shout out because it hits that ideal balance of sweetness and acidity and ties everything together perfectly. On the Sausage & Roasted Garlic it plays beautifully with the rich roasted garlic purée, and on the Hot Italian it stands up nicely to the Calabrian chilis and chili oil without getting lost. The sea salt chocolate chip cookies that come with the special are huge and packed with chocolate chips, and that little hit of salt really enhanced the flavors but the something about the texture was a bit off for me as it wasn't quite chewy or crumbly but rather something in between, which left me a little confused. Another big plus is that Violetta has a full bar so you can pair your meal with a beer, a glass of wine, or a cocktail to match whatever pie you are in the mood for. Between the quality of the ingredients, the thoughtfulness of the flavor combinations, and the generosity of the Restaurant Week deal, Pizzeria Violetta is an easy recommend and a spot I would happily return to with a group (or by myself with plenty of leftovers!).

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