I was originally recommended Artichoke Basille's after a concert in Berkeley, but the massive line…read morescared me off. I finally made it back on a Saturday afternoon, and luckily, there was barely a wait! I ordered their famous Artichoke Pizza, and it definitely lives up to the hype. It's rich, flavorful, and they heat your slice back up right before serving, so it comes out piping hot. The only minor downside is that it's a bit oily (I had to use a few napkins to pat it down) but the flavor makes up for it. The setup is a quick grab-and-go counter service with some patio seating and standing tables outside. Since it's right on the corner of a main street, you're looking at street parking only, which I imagine can get pretty tough when the area is busy.

The hope definitely speaks for itself. I would definitely come back here again. The artichoke pizza…read moreis really amazing and if I can give it out 100 out of 100 I would. The vodka pizza was OK. I definitely like the artichoke pizza more. The service here is super friendly as well. The staff is here, but they wouldn't give me the secret sauce for the pizza I do live in the city, but I would definitely hope they bring one here to San Francisco soon The ambience is taken go where they warm up the pizza for you which takes about 2 to 5 minutes they said the large artichoke cow pizza is about $64 but one slice got me very full

Nostalgia much? I grew up with Blondie's Pizza. I have loved…read morethis place since I was a teenager & I love it even more now. For more than one reason. For one it brings back so many good memories, Blondie's always makes me happy. The second reason is they now have 100% BEEF PEPERONI! You heard me, 100% BEEF PEPPERONI! For some people that's not a big deal. For someone who hasn't eaten pork their whole life & always has to avoid getting pepperoni on their pizza, its a HUGE freaking deal. I love, love, love when the rare occasion happens that I get to enjoy BEEF PEPPERONI on my pizza. OK besides that, the pizza is amazing. I was literally closing my eyes and in my happy place the whole time. Now for those that never had BEEF PEPPERONI, please go try it. It is so much higher quality than pork pepperoni, so I've been told. I plan to make many more trips in the near future, thats how excited it made me. By the way I loved the cheese just as much, yum yummy. Pro tip: parking is hard, obviously, downtown Berkeley and all. So either walk, Uber, find parking, take the bus, or do as I do and tag team it and drop off a friend to go order for the whole car and drive around until they are ready to be picked up. Do what you have to, just get there. Now go enjoy yourself, you can thank me later.

Good mix of cheese topping and crust but wasn't excellent and had much better pizza. I prefer more sauce and thinner crust and more toppings.

No shade to Gypsy's I'm absolutely sure that their pizza is super delish'. But yeah in closing Seniore's pizza is very filling and flavorful i recommend this to anyone looking for a good slice under 10! Super perfect for midnight gardeners. PLURR to the reader

2023/04/30 17:00…read more genuinely well-made Neapolitan pizza that you can get with flex dollars (UC Berkeley currency) - located in / next to Crossroads - it can take up to 40 minutes since they make it to order - pizzas are one-size and cut into 12 pieces Potato, Pancetta, Baby Kale & Garlic ($18.00) - also has rosemary, a great addition - some of the pancetta got crispy, which was delicious - fairly greasy - crust was crispy and fluffy - potatoes were well-cooked but could do with more seasoning - I didn't see or taste any baby kale - garlic around the edge was very flavorful CHEESE ($12.00): - heavy on the cheese, which solidified together and separated from the crust - crust was crispy and fluffy

Hi everyone, My…read morename is Sara. (I'm not a local). Not being so I decided to check this place out for a fun exotic treat. So me and my son door dashed food from here and once "delivered" it was... not there. So basically someone stole it. Yikes. Me and girlfriend head over there to figure out why we didn't get the food. Mind you I guess this was during final season so people steal? Wtf?!? But when we go to this place they ACCUSE ME of stealing the food even after I showed them the order and everything and what not so we had to wait for the next door dasher to literally hand me the food. Two grown men yelling at two young ladies. Totally rude and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend this place to a lot of people. Ambiance wasn't, food was extremely disappointing, and expensive. Do I look like I grow money from my hair, medusa style!?$ Anyways, don't come here for date night, in all aspects this place disappointed me. Thank you.

My friend and I tried to get into Rose Pizzeria for dinner, but they had too long of a wait, so we…read moreended up here instead, but it wasn't at all a letdown. We were greeted by the friendliest server (a tall guy with curly hair whose name I unfortunately didn't get but shout-out to him) who asked us if we had any questions about the menu. My friend and I had already glanced at the menu when we checked in with the host, so we pretty much knew what we wanted. I did ask our server about crust options though and ended up going with the New York style because I didn't have the stomach capacity for the slightly thicker options like Detroit but perhaps next time with a bigger group! We ordered The Standard, which seemed like a good choice because of the diverse, balanced toppings, and the chicories & beets salad. The salad arrived quickly, and the pizza was brought to our table soon after. I liked how refreshing and crisp the salad was, but the pizza was really what I wanted. It was everything I wanted in a pizza - definitely the best choice of the lineup imo. The crust was so soft and pillowy I couldn't resist devouring it all and leaving no trace. I'm very much a crust gal. Glad the plan to hit up Rose Pizzeria didn't work out so that we could discover this gem. With the various styles of pizza options available, there's sure to be something from the menu for everyone here!

We tried a Sicilian style pizza that was super delicious - the crust was thick and fluffy and aromatic, with a perfectly light crunchy bite - no soggy bottoms here, folks! It almost doesn't matter which flavor, but we had the Ray J which was a delightful blend of sweet and savory. In contrast, we also tried a seasonal vegan pizza prepared in the thinner-than-Sicilian Grandma style - this was also delicious and the crust was satisfyingly crunchy. We appreciated the quality ingredients and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The arancini balls were pretty good but the stars were the pizzas. Service was efficient, helpful, and friendly - Laura herself was on hand to make recommendations and answer all our questions. The space had a nice vibe and was clean and comfortable. Parking wasn't too bad - found a spot two blocks away. Will return to try more pizzas, as well as a pasta dish. If you're ever in the area, I do recommend that you check it out. This pizzeria has been around for 3 years and we want it to stick around for a long long time.

Despite reservations, we had to wait about 25 minutes to get seated on the cute patio. Since the…read morespace is very tight, there is no good place to wait without getting in someone's way. Once seated, it was another 10-15 minutes before someone came to take the drink order. It looked like they only had one server working the inside and one outside, which is obviously insufficient on busy days. We read that spicy Caesar is a must, so we ordered one as an appetizer. It was pretty good but I wouldn't go back just for that. The two pizzas we tried were Margherita and classic pepperoni. IMO these two pies should showcase every great pizzeria, and Rose does them well. The pizzas are slightly bigger than Neapolitan pies and cut larger, almost NY style. The drink menu is appropriate for a pizzeria, wine and beer. But all the beers are in cans, no drafts, so I went with house wine instead. The prices are what you'd expect to pay at better pizza places in California nowadays, around $25 for a pizza. For a pizza out of electric oven, Rose is one of the better ones I've had. But compared to brick ovens, I don't think any electric oven pizza will come close. To say the hype around Rose is worth it, would not be truthful. There are definitely better pies in the area. I wouldn't mind going back, but there are other pizzerias in Berkeley that I will give a shot before.

A godsend to hungry students seeking a lot of food for very little money…read more Cash price remains about $11-$14 per entree.

Huge, hearty calzone with bold Italian comfort food vibes…read more Had the Godfather calzone at Gypsy's Trattoria Italiana in Berkeley and it was a satisfying, filling meal. The calzone was massive and packed with layers of cheese, meats, and sauce. The crust was golden, slightly crisp on the outside, and soft and doughy inside, holding everything together really well. Every bite was rich, savory, and indulgent in the best way. Portion size is generous, something you can share or save for later. It's one of those comfort food meals that really hits when you're craving something heavy and flavorful. Service was quick and straightforward, and the food came out faster than expected even with a steady crowd. The vibe is casual, student-friendly, and lively, with a laid-back Italian comfort food feel that makes it great for a quick bite or group meal. Overall, a solid spot for big portions and classic Italian-American comfort food. I'd definitely come back to try more pasta and baked dishes.
