Was happy to finally visit the San Leandro location since San Mateo is much more of a trek for us. I started with the Slice & Easy (watermelon lager, 4.8% abv) and then ordered the Raspberry Parfait Slushy (fruited sour ale, 6.4% abv) - both of those choices were great on a hot day and easy to drink. I like to come here for a couple drinks before going to Sons of Liberty Alehouse for dinner read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Pizza Near Me - San Leandro, California

Fieldwork has become a staple to downtown SL. It's a great place to get together with a large group, sit in the courtyard, have some snacks and a beer. You can come in and order at the bar or snag a seat and order through Toast and they'll bring everything to you. Love getting the Caesar salad, hummus and pita, and shishito peppers. The pizzas are decent but nothing special. Love getting a hazy here, usually the "Pulp" or a sour like the Fog Ripper. Service is pretty good when they're not swamped. read more

Brews and Brew Food, you can't go wrong with the simplicity, especially in an open-air atrium-type setting with plentiful strip mall parking. That was a mouthful, so give me that brew to wet my dry mouth. Plenty of on-tap brews to select from and pizzas and finger food to get your hands grubby. We had: - Shisito Peppers - Spicy Chicken Wings - Pizza Burrata and Mushrooms? - Brussel Sprouts And at least two rounds of brews of differing varieties and alcohol content. They also had the World Cup on TV if you're into country battles....of sports of course... read more

Whenever I'm in town, I make it a point to come to this restaurant and tap room. It's a beautiful business with a huge outside seating area with fire pits and tons of chairs and a beautiful Olive tree. At least I think it's an Olive tree. but I didn't see any olives. Maybe it's the wrong season for olives. Of course, it could be an artificial Olive tree. Next time, I'm going to check it out. There's a great food menu, athough today, I just came for the Hills and Valleys light beer. Special shout out to the friendly and professional bartender and manager, Santiago. I hear that Buddy is really good too, but for special A+ service , see Santiago. read more

Personal size pizza is a decent size. I got garlic sauce, mushrooms, jalapeños, red onion. The pizza is cooked nicely! Their ranch dipping sauce is not your normal ranch; must be mixed with something. I got 2 of their draft hazy IPA beers and they were good! Order via QR code. Service is decent speed. read more

Perf spot to hangout with family and friends on a nice day! I really enjoy their outdoor areas, and they have plenty of high chairs available so bring the kiddos too! We came on Mother's Day they had a special for 2 beers + 1 pizza for $35! We got the thin style NY pizza with bacon and tater tots and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the hazy IPA selections they had on draft. read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Pizza Near Me - San Leandro, California

Fieldwork is one of the top slingers in NorCal's modern craft brew scene. They've expanded to 11 tap houses in NorCal in about 8 years that go from Santa Rosa to Monterey. They're definitely on a mission. This one in San Leandro may be 2 years old and is a larger one. I think most of them are in huge spaces now with a large outdoor feature. Here their outdoor area is partially covered, like the sides, but the center is exposed to the open sky. They dot the space with large olive trees, so it has a nice beer garden vibe. We sat in their bar area, and I noticed that even though you are super close to where all the employees are, you get the most do-it-yourself type of service. We had to get our own beers at the bar station, place our food order there and repeat the process anytime we wanted anything more. Now the employees do bring the food out, will clear empties and bring a takeout box if needed. But I think the system is a bit flawed to only allow service personnel to only do partial the work, and create a system for them to avoid customer interaction. But when that tipping prompt comes up on the screen upon paying, the highlighted buttons of 18-20%+ aren't shy at glaring at you front and center. Just an observation and a 2020s cringe for me. I tried 2 of their lagers styles that day as it was pretty warm out and both were really good. Very bold and assertive in the hop ratio, which is a Fieldwork stamp. And what I liked is that they actually tasted fermented in the true lager style which is long, slow and cold. Garlic Fries ($9/4*) Standard and solid garlic fries. Thinner fries, crisp, clean and a good salt presence. A good amount of a cooked garlic is tossed in so isn't that 'spicier' raw garlic type. A dusting of parm is also in the mix. Great with cold crisp beers. Trust. Pepperoni Pizza ($22/3.5*) I remember I tried this same pizza at their San Ramon location and was really impressed with that one. Like a top 5 pizza for me here in the Bay. This one kinda had the similar traits but just wasn't as tight as my original try. The one in San Ramon was crisp throughout, without being overdone. This one was crisp on the outer edges but was limp in the center, so when picking up a slice, a major droop occurred. The pepperonis were totally legit, but the cheese here seemed more wet for some reason. Very milky in taste, but I think it is the reason why the center stayed wet. Again just an observation. Pretty good add for San Leandro, with 21st Amendment closing within the year. This keeps San Leandro a strong brew destination still with Drake's nearby still in the fray. I'm sure I'll be back, just don't love their mode of service chosen. read more

Came here on a warm day in San Leandro and it was the perfect vibe We didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but the menu looked solid -- pizza, salads, and wraps (definitely giving stadium-style bites). I'd come back just to explore that more. Instead, we grabbed some frosé, which was really good and refreshing. Price was about $12, which felt fair for the setting and portion. The outdoor area is honestly the highlight -- such a great space to hang out on a beautiful day. Super chill atmosphere. Definitely planning to come back and actually try the food next time! read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Their to go beer - Pizza Near Me - San Leandro, California

WOW - and not in a good way: 1. I ordered a neopolitan in lieu of their regular pizza - Fun Guy (with an assortment of mushrooms) "to go." 2. Eat right AWAY. If you wait, crust becomes impossible to eat; it was so chewy. A bit afraid I would crack a tooth. I gave up. 3. Flavors were indiscernible. The only cheese that stood out was the goat cheese. All other flavors were muted. 4. I gave the remaining of the pizza to my neighbor and will not call to ask how he liked it. That is a NO for me returning. It was $25 for a basically inedible pizza. I gave "one star" because the staff is very pleasant. One of the BEST PIZZA place in San Leandro is Bluebird Pizzeria, but they don't open until about 4 pm. Field Work was open during lunch time and thought I would try it given there always seems to be a crowd. Although I will not personally be returning, for those who order a TO GO: CHECK ORDER BEFORE LEAVING and eat right away. read more

I love this spot! Plenty of varied seating outside, and a bit inside as well. I've been here for many happy (and a few sad) hours. Lots of great food and drink options. We always order inside. While the parking lot is typically pretty full, you can usually find something fairly quickly. I just wish they had more non/alcoholic options- the n/an options they offer are not safe for pregnant people (as my friend was). Aside from that, they just have root beer and apple juice. A few more soda and lemonade options would be amazing. The have slushy versions of a couple of the drinks. You can also grab beers to go! The pizzas, salads, garlic fries, and Calabrian chili are delicious. Always ask for the Calabrian chili if you like a little kick! The space is just so spacious and beautiful! read more

One of our fave places to bring our pup! We often stop by on the weekend for an afternoon snack, and always opt for outdoor seating since we bring our pup. Given the off-time we were always able to find a seat or bench outside, which is a pretty nice/large outdoor space. Def enough space to put some distance between the pups as well. You have to order drinks/food via a QR code but the staff does bring out food/drinks and then also check in on tables regularly. The menu itself has a good variety of beers, also a few ciders. But I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of food options here, that most breweries def. Lack. Food talk: (1) Brussels Sprouts - can be a hit or miss, some days I've had them come out piping hot & well seasoned, other times they can be a bit bland. (2) Garlic Fries - tasty thin fries with a yummy, buttload of garlic! (3) Chicken wings - sweet and a little bit spicy, but tasty overall. (4) Caesar - this was OK, little too much dressing so it got a bit salty: (5) Pizza - Detroit style is def the way to go here, it's a thick square personal size pizza - both the Margherita & Delivery Boy are my faves! Also had the Fun Guy (Neapolitan style), which is more thin and worked well for the mushroom style pizza. read more

Great beer, delicious pizza, fantastic atmosphere, plenty of seating, and a great stop for a group of any size. When we visited, we had extended family with us, and there was plenty of room for us to grab lunch and hang out. The bartenders were friendly, helpful, and provided some solid recommendations. They even dealt my my mom's typical 20 questions about every option of food with kindness and patience. 10/10 would come back again and again and again... read more

If you haven't checked out Fieldwork's San Leandro location yet, it's easily one of the best spots in town to grab a fresh pour and unwind. The outdoor seating is great, the vibe is laid-back, and the tap list is always stacked with high-quality, creative brews. On my latest visit, I decided to step outside the usual IPA zone and try the Don Picante Dark Lager--and it absolutely stole the show. read more

Decent food, good ambience and very friendly staff, just wish they served mixed drinks.

We were looking for a casual place to grab lunch after a walk at Lake Chabot, and drove right on over to Fieldwork Brewing. It was a beautiful day out, and sitting in the shaded patio was perfect. There were plenty of tables at 12pm on a Saturday. We ordered using the QR code, and got a kids' cheese pizza, the Dad Joke Detroit style, the crispy cauliflower, 2 micheladas, and a can of Fieldwork's very own root beer. The food hit the spot! The Detroit style pizza was thick, crispy, and contained the perfect medley of toppings, and the crispy cauliflower was on point. The bite I got of the kids pizza was super yummy, too. Fieldwork Brewing has such a great and welcoming atmosphere; our kids were able to get up out of their seats without bumping into or bothering other parties, and they had dog treats and a water bowl for our big puppy of a Lab. So thrilled to have finally been by here and finding a great neighborhood spot that is family friendly, dog friendly, and serves great food and drinks! read more

This place was so busy on a Friday night. There were tons of people coming in and out and fire pits going. We grabbed a bench near a fire pit and scanned to order our food. We got the Delivery Boy pizza, a beer, a root beer, and some roasted Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts came out pretty fast but the problem is that it had no flavor. Unlike most times when we get this dish, we had trouble finishing it. The pizza itself was fine -- it is more thin style pizza and thus you'll likely eat more of it to be full. However, the crust was burnt and hard so the pizza also wasn't great. The ambiance here is great though. There were at least two large parties and it's nice you can bring big groups and just order while standing around and socializing with folks. The place felt like someone's big backyard. My partner really liked his beer and thought it was fresh and I could say the same about the root beer. We are just disappointed that the food was not as good as we would have hoped. read more

Food - really good for a brewery! love the variety. more than just pizza options, but the pizza itself is really really good! I recommend the Hail Mary - that was fire. Service - Fast! you order on the QR code and next thing u know your beer is in ur hands. Ambiance - quite nice as well. they have the picnic bench style tables but also the fire pit style chairs - a little uncomfy / far from each other if you're trying to mingle with your group so we immediately darted for a picnic bench once it opened. Great experience, I'd come back to hang out here and get some brews and bites read more

Huge shoutout to Buddy, who was hugely helpful when our pizza did not show up after 45 min. Our pretzel and wine came out quick and all was delicious. Hugely impressed with the mustard that came with the pretzel and glasses of both the Fiano and the Rose. Buddy took the time to reorder our pizza, The Delivery Boy, which was hands down one of the best pizzas I have ever had, and well worth the wait. Pleasant experience with the staff, food, and beverages. We will absolutely be back. Only downsides were that seating was difficult to find- this was 6pm on the dot on a Friday. Otherwise great experience! read more

Ok, San Leandro..I see you! What a lovely Friday evening in the downtown Dro' seeing the community out for San Leandro Second Fridays with vendors, food trucks, DJ/live music, and more. I rarely make it out this way, but thankful to have had the chance to see all the cool businesses poppin' like Fieldwork Brewing. Such a spacious and beautiful location ~ great for big groups, kiddos, dogs, and fun. We ordered some snacks to start: Arancini (fried risotto balls), Crispy Cauliflower (fried in tempura), a Caesar (comes with a hard boiled egg, radishes, croutons). For our main we went with a Classic Cheese Pizza to keep it easy with the kiddo. Everything was definitely solid, the apps missing a bit of flavor/kick, but still solid. Because this is a scan QR code to order type vibe spot, there were a few moments I wish there was a live human to chat with. For the pizza, I wasn't sure how to order a side of ranch or if they offered that (I know, I'm a sauce girl..but especially with my pizza), and if they had sodas to order. My husband ran over to ask someone and I'm just not a root beer person. Nonetheless, a great time out and normally I would be partaking in the awesome brews with my crew at Fieldwork, but for this outing was looking for some crispy NA bubbles. Street/lot parking available although this is a busy area so take note to leave some time to grab a spot. read more

I've been here a few times now with my dog, and it's a great dog-friendly spot to grab a beer and some good food. The dog-friendly area is huge and mostly enclosed with just the middle of the roof area exposed. It's comfortable inside with most of the tables along the perimeter, in the shade. On a bright/hot day, avoid the few tables toward the middle because of the sun. In the evening they have string lights surrounding the center, a fire pit and chairs around it, which is a nice vibe. There are ton of tables in the outdoor/beer garden area so even if it's packed, a new one usually opens up within a couple minutes. Parking is often tricky because of all the businesses nearby. I've had remarkably different experiences here on different visits. One visit was after work and it was cozy, pretty quiet and food came out fast. Appetizers are solid: fries and deep fried cauliflower auth their dipping sauces hit the spot. Pizza and salads are great. I appreciate that they have the option for the thick, Detroit-style pizza here. Another visit was on a weekend afternoon and it was packed; swarming with screaming children and so loud in the back that we had to move because we couldn't hear ourselves talk. The back area seems to be used for parties sometimes, and the sound echos. During this visit our appetizers came out pretty quick, followed by my husband's pizza, but my pizza did not arrive for a long time and we were just about to leave. Staff kept saying it would be right out, and when my Margherita pizza arrived it was basically crust with separated cheese on top, the sever even brought extra sauce with it because he said the pizza was so hot the sauce burned off. A bit strange, and not the Margherita pizza I'm used to but it was OK with the extra sauce. read more

Always consistent This place is a family friendly establishment with better than normal brewery food and friendly staff The thin crust pizzas are all good, never overly salty and always easy for the kids to eat The Detroit style pizzas i feel are not as tasty compared to the thin crust Fried cauliflower is always yummy Brussel sprouts are always roasted to tenderness Shishito peppers are always on point In terms of beer, they have a good variety. Though I'm not a connoisseur, I enjoy their sweet beers like the parfait, berry, hot chocolate, ice cream castles, etc. My husband typically gets the Adrienne here It's a casual atmosphere with friends, coworkers, families, even baby showers or gender reveals going on Honestly this place has reliable quality and it's suitable for all ages, I've returned at least 8 times by now read more

Tonight was the worst experience I've had at this location. The way their new employee (I'll be nice and not say his name) handled a situation was so uncalled for. But to make things worse the manager and general manager came out to confront a simple issue with my 70 year old mother in such a scolding and embarrassing way was uncalled for. They can do better. Another issue I have is not going to be accepted by dog owners but the fact that they do not have a designated area for dogs triggers allergies and even worse, leaves dog hair flying all over my food and drinks as I come out to enjoy myself. read more

This has to be one of my favorite places to meet up with friends to unwind after a long week, or catch up for some laughs. The outdoor ambience is so charming with a tree in the middle and some firepits and wooden tables all around. The drinks are amazing. I love IPAs and they have a good amount on tap. Their slush rose is also really delicious, and the glassware is so cute! Everyone working is always so kind, service is always quick, and food is absolutely delicious. The pizzas and fries are a must try. I cant wait for my next outing here with friends! Absolutely recommend this spot for good vibes, good food, and good service with good people. read more

I can't recommend this location. If you're able to, go to another Fieldwork. There's always something off about the food, often overcooked and yet lukewarm when given. Taste and appearance of food just not as good as their other spots. Customer service is mixed. I'm a big fan of several of their other locations, so it bums me to write this. read more

Always have a good time at Fieldwork, and their food selection is perfect to go with a couple of beers. I usually don't order salads, but I appreciate that their Caesar has a soft-boiled egg on top. Their arancini is great, and their cauliflower wrap is solid although I would prefer if it was toasted or cooked through more. You can easily order food with the QR codes which makes it easy to add items to your order. Their beer selection comprises a number of styles and they rotate things out every few months so there's always something fun to try. read more

We came across this place randomly last weekend after a great brunch nearby at Elio's, and decided to pop in. What a great find! Bright, spacious, comfortable space to hang out and enjoy a cold one or two. Great selection of all types of beers, and a friendly staff that is happy to help you find what you will like. We made our selections - stout for RB and a Belgian ale for me - and settled in on the very nice covered patio outside. Good-sized crowd of people, but ample seating and space for everyone. A few kids, but they were well-behaved, unlike the unsupervised ankle-biters we've seen at other breweries - come on parents, if you're going to exercise the questionable judgement of taking your children out drinking with you, at least exercise the courtesy of making sure they behave. But thankfully, no issues with this during our visit to Fieldwork. We ordered a veggie pizza to snack on, which was very good. Now for the highlight of our visit - enter 'H.R.' - a beautiful Belgian Malinois dog out on a day pass from the animal jail, er. 'shelter', with a couple of lovely volunteers. I would have done anything to adopt that beautiful boy the same day, but sadly it's not in the cards right now with my living situation. Nevertheless, meeting this guy and the ladies looking after him added greatly to an already very nice time at this spot. We will return next time we're in the area. We also found out Fieldwork has a number of other locations throughout the Bay Area. read more

Fieldwork Brewing isn't just about great beer--they also serve up some solid pizzas. I appreciated that they offer both thin crust and Detroit-style versions for most of their pies, giving options for different preferences.

It's a great spot to grab a drink and a bite, especially if you enjoy having variety in your pizza styles. read more

Thank you for improving since my last visit. I know my daughter has been coming here since our last May 2024 visit together, but I gave myself a break. Note to self - Come on Mondays (slow weekday lunches). Quality/Quantity - Olyvia & Farmhouse Wheat - Both beers were good. Light and refreshing for a beautiful day like today. Margherita Pizza - Baked well. Thin crust and crispy pizza, just the way I like it. Actually, an extra 3 minute bake where the center of the crust could be firm also would be even better. Atmosphere - See previous reviews. Cut and pasted from my previous review: I just love the space, including the designs of the bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor seating, way more nicer outdoors. Table, fire pit, lounge chair, picnic, counter, etc. seating. Shared parking lot was a zoo, so we then opted to just pay metered street parking. Open 7 days a week from 11am or noon till 9pm or 10pm; see my pictures. Yelp and their website differ slightly. Service - Friendly greeting when we walked in. Then their service was just okay. We had to ask for parmesan cheese and other things we needed. Price - $40 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014 with your 8 locations and growing. See you again soon and hope for a continued better experience. read more
