4+ Great little pizza spot located in I wanna say the Downtown Oakland area. It looks like they have a full bar here and they also sell pizza by the slice. It's one of those spots where if you blink, you might miss it because it's not huge in terms of storefront. I was on my way back to return a rental car and wanted to make a small detour to this area. I was also hungry and wanted a light, quick bite. I found this place and it was perfect. The slices are good and they're very reasonably priced. I can't speak to the bar experience, although I think people like to hang out here and have drinks as much as they liked to dine here. The person helping me was very friendly and the space feels a little funky and fun. read more

This is a solid spot for a NY style slice, hot and fresh, in Oaktown. There's a lot of choices in the east bay for NY style pie, but Graffiti is the closest to what I've had in NY - great sauce, perfect crust. They have outdoor seating in the back. I wish they had a location on the other side of the Caldecott. read more

Native NY'er now living in the East Bay. Graffiti is one of the better pizza places I have eaten at in the Bay Area. And even better when you realize this is a chill hole in the wall pizza shop and not an overpriced yuppie pizza place. Just had some wings as well, pretty solid. Only complaint is I wish they had a better draft beer selection. read more

Absolutely pains me to say this- as I lived so close to here but never stopped foot inside- but this might be one of the best pizza-y pizzas in the bay area. What do I mean by pizza-y pizzas? This isn't super artsy, sicilian, whatver. It is just a good pizza in the most pizza way possible (maybe that makes it a NY pizza? idk). Great crust (which traveled well via delivery), good cheese to sauce ratio, and the toppings on the Old Skool was also just the right amount. I also ordered the rice krispy, made with capn crunch, which was a fun twist. Definitely will order again, and hopefully will eventually step foot in person, a place I've passed by far too often. read more

We were in Oakland for another event and decided to grab some pizza before heading back to Sacramento. Found this place and decided to give it a try since they advertised slices. I was a little disappointed when I walked inside and the only graffiti I saw was a large panel above the bar. The rest of the interior was very tastefully painted in simple colors with white molding. It made me wonder about the name until I went to restroom to wash my hands. The men's room is covered in graffiti. I'm not sure about the ladies room. Anyway, I placed my order, at the bar, for a couple slices before visiting the restroom and they were done by the time I returned. I tried their BBQ Chicken and their veggie. Both had a wonderfully somewhat thin crust that had just the right amount of char on the bottom, which adds to the flavor and give a satisfying crunch when you bite into it. The toppings were appropriate and tasted fresh, even though the slice was reheated. BBQ sauce was nicely balanced and there was a sufficient amount of toppings on them. The best part is the price was very affordable! I will definitely be back for more! read more

Beer: love the peroni. It's light, crisp, and reminds me of summer. Pizza: it's the only place to get a late night slice in downtown Oakland! The variation of toppings are kept fresh and ever-changing, I like the Hawaiian and bbq chicken. They also offer whole pies and I love the ones with ricotta on them. Justin, the manager, is so nice to talk to. The vibe at graffiti is noticeably elevated since he started working there: friendlier, cleaner, and overall more welcoming. read more

I decided to give Graffiti Pizza a try after being recommended it by an acquaintance. I ordered ahead on their Square site for a 6pm pickup, but didn't get any text notification that it was ready and there were no updates on the Square ordering page either, so I only went at 6:30pm to pick it up, and found that the food was ready and they'd been keeping it in a warmer for us. It can be hard to park there, almost all the spots nearby were taken up and they're mostly metered parking. Spraycation medium: Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, Parmesan, Oil, Oregano. It's basically a Hawaiian pizza. You can order a deluxe version of this that adds basil and jalapenos. I thought this was pretty good and am happy with the amount of cheese and pineapples on it. Phantom medium: White pie (no sauce) mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, mushrooms, red bell peppers, balsamic glaze, parmesan, oil, and oregano. It was very juicy and drippy. The ricotta was thick, which I really enjoyed. The mushrooms were also savory and I liked the cheese in general. They gave us the most parmesan cheese packets I've ever gotten at any pizza place. I thought the phantom was the standout of the two flavors but I definitely am interested in trying more of their flavors since I felt these were among the best pizzas I've had in Oakland. read more

Graffiti pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

One of my favorite pizza spots in Oakland (and there are a lot of pizza joints in Oakland) - this is my go-to spot when I'm craving non-Deep Dish. I've never had an issue ordering delivery from here and the pizza is always piping hot still when it gets to my house. I've tried a few options but my favorite is the Roll Call (minus olives) - everything is customizable. The pizza is cheesy and full of toppings and flavorful and reheats very well the next day. The extra large is GIGANTIC and will feed me for a week. read more

Graffiti pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

I really hate to give a small business such a bad review. However, I went there on a Saturday night and ordered a few slices to go. The guy taking my order and I started talking Oakland politics. We disagreed on a few points but it was nothing that was a super emotionally charged subject or anything. The guy behind the counter started getting angry. By then I had my pizza and exited the store. He RAN OUT OF THE STORE and started yelling to me that I should "never f------ come back here and that I was a f------- f-----." He called me this homophobic slur several times. The weird thing is nothing we discussed had anything to do with gender or sexuality. So clearly he was choosing this word because it's in his vocabulary and designed to try to hurt others. It was quite a bizarre experience. I hope the owner reads this and deals with this person accordingly as I would hope that not everyone there is so unstable and a rampant homophobe. But I feel people should know that at least one person here may scream horrible slurs at you with little to no provocation. read more

yummy bites, NY style pizza. Came with the girls for a night out and they have a full bar! the pizza was heated pretty quickly and it was good. they have individual slices here whereas at square pie guys down the street you have to buy a whole pizza. this was recommended to us by the staff at square pie guys actually lol. They have a lot of options and there's some outdoor area to lounge at too. 10/10 read more

Great pizza the balsamic drizzle is too tier Check for hours not open everyday but worth the wait read more

Fun little pizza spot in Oakland that offers New York style by the slice or pie. We got slices of the cheese and veggie. The cheese was pretty good and so melty and warm. The veggie had mushrooms, onion, and a dark sauce that they drizzled over the slice. Crust was a medium size - not too thin but not overly thick. I also liked that the top crust wasn't alot of bread. There are some tables inside and if you go towards the back there is a nice outdoor seating area with heaters available for the winter. Servers were friendly and food came out at a reasonable time. Would be nice to see more options and unique toppings for pizzas but overall had a good experience here. read more

We totally looked forward on the pizza and when we got it unfortunately it was super disappointing. Totally taste like Dominos pizza. Never again will we order from this pizza restaurant. Super unfortunate that food taste and quantity has gone down hill. If you're into fast food type pizza then go for it. Not sure how other people show such different pizza photos when we clearly received nothing like past pizza photos read more

I just realized I've never left a Yelp review for Graffiti Pizza -- and that's honestly wild considering how many times I've ordered their pizza and wings! I'm super picky when it comes to pizza. The crust has to complement the sauce, toppings, and overall ratio. Graffiti has nailed it. Every bite is balanced, flavorful, and crave-worthy. And don't even get me started on their chicken wings -- perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. Even my fiancé, who proudly considers himself a chicken wing connoisseur, gives them two thumbs up. If you haven't tried Graffiti Pizza yet, you're seriously missing out on an Oakland gem! read more

They have some awesome options I'm especially fond of the choices with balsamic on them--it really adds something special and unique to the flavor of any pizza it comes with Side note the employees are awesome. read more

The only thing I enjoy about this place is their wings and the bar, even though the bar barely has good quality alcohol . Another thing is the owner is extremely disrespectful to both the staff and the customers. The managers are always drunk and some blonde headed worker was drunk as balls on the clock the other day, couldn't even speak properly. The place could also use a renovation it seems lifeless there. And the pizza is so mid, kinda tastes like it was made in an oven that hasn't been cleaned in idk how long. read more

I want to like this place but the pizza is neither as gritty as the name suggests, nor is it a cut above. The dough is relatively thick for a thin-crust pizza, and they went hard with the mozzarella on my veggie slice. The effect was like I had microwaved a couple slices of cheese on bread at home. The person I was with ordered a slice of plain cheese which was more palatable because it came with ... less cheese. At least you could tell that several flavors and textures came together in the plain slice -- even if they were only so-so. read more

Gosh. Can't believe I hadn't written a review until now! First 2025 review goes to graffiti pizza for its deliciousness! I didn't snap photos this time... but I order from here so often I know I'll snap some and post them soon enough! Love the Taggers Delight and Roll Call! Haven't had any bad experiences here - service is always great and ordering for pick up is fair time! Got 2 XL pizzas within 40 minutes! Love the vibe inside and the free pacman play for my kid to enjoy while picking up the food! The pizza crust is really good too - there's a nice bounce to it and overall we enjoy eating the pizza from Graffiti every time we order from here! read more

Service was really friendly but the food was nothing spectacular. Garlic knots had no crust and were not very garlicky. The parmesan cheese that topped the knots overpowered the garlic in my opinion. Very let down by these. I got the roll call pizza and it was good but nothing special. Definitely not worth the price. Very forgettable. However, the crust had a nice crunch. I had been wanting to try this place for a long time but I would have been okay if I never did. read more

Had takeout. Sorry but this is not good pizza. First of all the pizza looked NOTHING like some of the photos here (esp. the slice photos). The 14" pepperoni and mushroom I ordered had super puffy crust, was under-cooked (gummy dough), and overall quality barely on par with the most basic pizza joints I generally try to avoid. Was really hoping for a new go-to and maybe I caught a really off night, but this was a huge disappointment. Cost me a hundred bucks via Doordash for 1 medium, 1 small, and 10 wings, too. Wings were pretty good but quite rubbery, like they got microwaved ahead of delivery. read more

Pretty tasty pizza with impressively crisp crusts throughout. Dropped by for a few individual slices for late night bites with my partner as recommended by a friend. Great vibes inside and delicious toppings. We grabbed the combo, veggie, and pepperoni slices. They don't skimp on the toppings and the prices and value are way better than other pizza places I enjoy like Artichoke Basille's. I typically like thicker and crispier crusts, but this place does their thin crust well. Service was so friendly. Seems like lots of people like hanging out inside, sometimes passing around blunts lol. But good vibes. Hoping to come back and grab a full pie and try out some of the other flavors. I've been around this area a lot and never knew this pizza shop existed! Would definitely recommend to others to check it out. read more

Full disclosure.. don't know how the pizza is, but service was horrible. We ordered... stood waiting for 30-40 minutes.. only to be told after inquiring what's the status of our order that our it didn't go through... the place was empty... no excuse for such crappy service. read more

Graffiti Pizza, in Old Oakland, serves up a great Old School Combo pizza! Look at my pictures, what a beautiful pizza! Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushroom.....blended together on a golden oven browned crust. I paid extra for extra mozzarella, because I love molten cheese on my pizza. This pizza place earns it's "4.5-Star" Yelp rating. Now, to be honest, I did have to wait an extra 25 mins for my pizza. It wasn't ready at the set pickup time. I went outside, and a delivery driver told me everyone usually has to wait for their order. This place is in historic Old Oakland. It's near the Oakland Police HQs and the Courthouse (where you pay traffic / parking fines). So if you're in the area, drop by for pizza, sandwich or salad. So I took my pizza home, put it on my pizza pan, popped it in the oven for 5-7 mins @ 400*F ( That's why it looks a little burnt). It came out of my oven with glistening molten cheese. All those delicous toppings welded to the crust. The Old School Combo Pizza is a great pizza. I ordered a 14" medium w/ extra mozzarella. Lots of options for added toppings. read more

By far my favorite Pizza spot in Oakland, Everything from the pizza to the vibes exceed expectations.. I've been coming here for almost 2 years.. Sometimes they get backed up (up to 45 mins) due to their online orders and small staff.. Always ask how long your pie might take so you avoid this.. They have Anime nights on Sundays, this place Is going places !! read more

Graffiti pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Found on google search. Just wanted a slice of pizza for lunch. Got a way bigger surprise than I was expecting. Let's start with customer service. 1 guy to open. He was polite. He acknowledged me. I even got asked how I'm doing today. That's a rare one in California right now. Now let's move onto the pizza. At opening time when I showed up I was the first person. Pizzas by the slice were ready to go in many varieties and I was surprised how fresh they looked. The ingredients and look of the pizza are high quality. I got a cheese slice and a pep slice. Both were unbelievably delicious! I was blown away. Large fresh slices at a good price. Can't beat it. Tell the owner to not charge a thing. Their recipes could sell world wide like a mainstream joint. Very very good: 10/10 will be back for lunch every day they are open for it. Check their hours before showing up. They aren't open 24/7 read more

Got 4 slices to go and loved it. Great late night pizza by the slice in Oakland. Bartender was friendly. Must stop in for a pint and try one of their whole pies next time! read more

Best pizza around, best ranch around. They don't complain about my only-on-half orders or substitutions. Love it.
