We found this gem during the height of Covid and have not turned back, back when you would call and show up at pick up time. I'd be lying if I say I don't dream about this cheese crusted pizza. Every time I come, I realize I don't come enough and dread the thought of it going away again. The cheese? Fresh AF. The dough? DOUGHY and crunchy and everything you'd want in a pizza dough . The sauce? UHMAZING. I see food outlets highlighting this pizza and I'm conflicted- I want to ensure the success of June's while simultaneously keeping this my little Hidden gem. Until next time, June's. read more

June's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Finally had the chance to the June's pizza! Located near a brewery (perfect combo... pizza and beer) June's pizza is a fast pace pizza restaurant where there's not a lot of option to choose from. Margherita, pepperoni or their weekly special. Straight to the point and full of cheese. Service is quick and seamless, you order, you pay and you wait either for takeout or dine in. Though not a lot of tables, I feel as if it's better suited to take to go to maybe eat with beer next door or even to take home! I got the 1/2 margherita and 1/2 pepperoni. It hit the spot and defo satisfied my pizza cravings. Cooked in a wood oven pizza, drizzled with olive oil on the crust- it was beautiful, magnificent and delicious. I was truly in awe watching the process of making the pizza tbh Not quite sure if I'd go back due to the lack of parking but defo worth the wait for pizza! Bay Area staple read more

June's Pizza - 1/2 margherita 1/2 pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Great pizza and vibe overall. I don't know that the dough was as tasty as some that I've had but it was really good. The pizzas are huge and quite loaded with ingredients and fresh basil. Do not fall for the terrible cupcake scam outside the door. There is a cupcake vendor with the southeast Asian food truck. The cupcakes sell for five dollars and they are without question the worst cupcakes I've ever had. They make Safeway look like the world's best bakery. I don't know if they are just terribly made cupcakes with supercheap ingredients or if they're buying them from some mas provider, but they are truly terrible. Not a good way to follow a delicious meal of local pizza. read more

The pizza itself was incredible, we got the half and half option. We came around 5:30pm so it was about that "almost" busy time where patrons started rolling in around the same time we did. There's a brewery next door so it could be a little confusing depending on where you parked. There's 2 places to park, the ideal one up front is usually full so we went to the one right the corner adjacent to brewery. Table seating is pretty normal. Watch out for strands of hair on the wall if you sit next to it. Pizza sauces are extra but I think it's a generous serving. The sauces themselves are really good too. When they serve the pizza they don't cut it out to your plate, you gotta grab it yourself which can be a hassle since it's really hot and they don't get you the utensil to pick it up, you just drag it to your plate or that's what we did. -1 star for not providing the utensil needed to get the slices off. We asked and they directly said they can't give us one. +1 star pizza was amazing +1 star sauces amazing +1 star how filling the pizza was with quality ingredients. The parm shavings were amazing and fresh Now to the final -1 star and why we won't be coming back anytime soon. When provided cups for water, our cups were VISIBLY chipped around the rim where we put our lips. We returned the first cup and they exchanged it willingly. Sat down to realize they exchanged it with ANOTHER CHIPPED CUP located on the same area as our other cup. I used my fingers to feel the rim to double check it wasn't just me, it was definitely chipped and I can feel the chip pull on the skin of fingertips. I took the cup myself back to them and let them know they gave us another chipped cup. I was confused why the young lady sighed and said they'll help me in a moment. I stood there waiting and after a few more minutes I flagged down another person and they blew me off with another "someone will help you in a sec" response. I left the cup there and shared the water cup my husband had. I cant confidently recommend this place, thought the pizza is great, as somewhere to sit down and eat in if they can't provide bare minimum utensils for customers to enjoy their pizza OR quality inspect their glass cups to prevent injuries. It's not like the chips were on the bottom, they were on the RIM where your LIPS USE. Pizza great - to go order definitely Sit down dining - no way, I would not recommend them as a sit down option. read more

Visited on a Saturday around 6pm with a friend, restaurant was busy but no wait to order. Seating was mostly taken so we did togo and ate next door at the brewery. Food: Margarita Pizza - good, crust has a nice chewy texture, with little charged spots, sauce is light and fresh with vibrant tomato flavor, mozzarella is mild and milky with a nice chew, Parmesan on the crust and fresh basil were great to finish off the pie Pepperoni pizza - great, pepperoni cups were nice and small with a good amount of spice and crisped up in the oven nicely, the other toppings were the same as the margarita, wished there was some hot honey on the side for drizzling or dipping the crust into Service was quick and efficient, order at the counter and wait for your pie, which took maybe 10 minutes before our pizza was ready. Loved that there were lots of togo plates available when you picked up the pizza and it was conveniently next to a brewery which had ample seating and outdoor patio space. Overall June's pizza lived up to the hype, really glad we could order our pizza 1/2 and 1/2 to try both styles of the day. A great no frills spot for good pizza, very simple menu, wished the crust was a little crisper in the center and there were a few more toppings options but definitely worth a visit. read more

June's Pizza - 1/2 Pepperoni and 1/2 margarita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Holy smokes June is cooking up some good ass pizza. And this is coming from a girl who prefers thick crust, Detroit style pizza. This pizza had so much flavor, without an overwhelming marinara taste. The parking lot is pretty small so parking can be a bit tough. The service was pretty fast, and if not there is a brewery right next door. Who doesn't love good pizza and a beer?! Try this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

June's Pizza - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Don't judge a book by its cover! Late night on a Friday and we were starving. Either many places closing down or required a reservation- Junes Pizza looked like the only option. I have been to West Oakland plenty of times, but usually not at night especially around 11pm. We ended up driving right past this location and had to loop around. From the outside it's a warehouse with no real visible sign. Pulled up into the parking lot where there were some other cars - only way I knew that we must be at the right spot. Right before you walk in there is a wooden sign for the place - but on the ground :) You walk in and it's bustling! There were people there and they have a decent size for seating. There are only two types of pizza...ever. I asked the staff if they change it up and the said no. Judgment started to creep in as I thought - how can the stay in business with only two pizza options that are almost identical....well the reason why is cause their pizza is DELICIOUS!!!! They have a normal margarita pizza and then margarita with pepperoni. Pizza came out quickly and was so thin and flavorful I was truly blown away. Yea would other pizza options be nice if course, but when the food is so flavorful I don't see why the need to fix something that is already perfect. 100% will come Back read more

3.5/5. Space is vibey, industrial, great lighting. Sourdough crust was fire but red sauce was bland. I'd come back to try the white pie.

First time to June's! Given the hype, we would be worried it would be super busy but we came an hour after opening on a weekday and grabbed a table right away. We wanted to have leftovers to eat through the week so we got 2 whole pizzas+ both rotating sauces. Pepperoni - mini pepperonis evenly spread out and not too salty or oily! Margarita - they put extra red sauce for this pizza and it was perfect with the amount of cheese on top + the giant basil leaves. Chipotle aioli was great for dipping the thin crust, but the caramelized onion sauce was AMAZING and sweet , perfect for adding on top of any pizza! Our favorite parts: the thin crust and basil! We also loved watching them slide the tickets on the mini zipline. Great experience overall and we will be back!!! read more

I was hesitant to try this spot because it had so much hype...but it is all worth it. OMG. The pizza is *perfection*. I have tried the pepperoni, morel mushroom special and the sausage kale and they have literally ALL been some of the best pizza of my life. I might rank it $$$ instead of $$ because a pizza will run you 40+. Large and worth every penny but definitely not a cheap pizza. read more

Jan 15 2026 4pm 4.0 stars A thirty minute drive for us. We arrived at 3:45 pm. "Oh good" says I. "The front door is open with a welcoming 'OPEN' sign taped on it". We walk in and promptly are told they aren't open till 4pm. We go back to the car to wait. 4pm -The restaurant is clean and the employees are smartly uniformed and seem eager to please. The long haired blond cashier fellow is a champ. Frendly and he is cleaning and polishing during down time while other down time employees are huddled around a coworker's cell phone. I hope the phoneys wash their hands. Jazz music is playing pumped in. This music was pleasant until the restaurant filled with customer's voices competing with each other and the jazz speakers for sound wave band width. You can have any flavor and size pizza you want today. This, as long as you want a large Pepperoni or Margherita pizza or a half and half large pizza. One flavor pizza was $35. Soda $5. All plus Tax for the privilege of dining in Oakland, California. We chose the Margherita as we didn't see the "$37.50 half and half" message scrawled on the bottom left of the overhanging hand written menu. Sadly it looked like they have one beer tap labeled "Beer". I have no clue what type it is. Never mind that. I passed. No diet cola here for those pre-diabetics. Sorry wifey. You serve yourself water, paper plates and napkins. These are found next to the water jugs. No ice. I'm pro Ice. The Men's restroom is spacious (a double staller) and clean. That cleanliness is a good sign. We are amazed at the number of employees standing around at opening hour. Maybe seven? I tell my sweetheart that June's must have a good product and the customers must flood in later in the evening to pay all those employee's wages. The pizza is served piping hot the way I like it. It sports a tasty wood fired oven crust. Slices fold in half and stand up proud. Very tasty dough. I can't stand the waste and eat my wife's discarded crusts. The huge pie size is an illusion as the crust dough is spread thin. You will be suprised how many slices you can down. It was very tasty, though when the last slices cool off they lost some of their charm and the tomato sauce began to taste a bit acidic. My wife didn't notice the acidity so maybe I just had a bad bite. A 45 minute drive home. We may go back. I see there is a brewery next door. read more

June's Pizza - pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday at 5pm. Line wasn't long yet, waited like 2 minutes. Parking was terrible though. I just got lucky and after circling the block a spot opened up in the lot. My friend and I shared a margherita pizza and had 2 slices left over. We also got the house white wine. We sat at the counter and loved watching the pizzas being made. We liked the old pizza parlor feel of the place. The pizza is divine. And I'm a pizza snob cause I grew up in NYC. The crust, the sauce, the cheese. All so good. Will definitely be back! read more

June's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Very overrated pizza place. We ordered the Pepperoni and it came out to $41 after taxes, and although the eye appeal of the pizza is very nice (especially with all the cheese), the pizza itself was mediocre at best. The pepperoni wasn't super flavorful and the pieces were very small, the crust was mediocre, and the price just didn't make sense for the pizza. This pizza should be half the cost, and even then, I still wouldn't recommend. Plenty of other very good pizza places in Berkeley, Oakland, and Alameda that are more worth visiting! read more

Doesn't get more hipster than this. Pizza cred from fine dining cutting of teeth. Warehouse-y space in a semi-gentrified area of West Oakland that nobody in their right mind would have entered 2005 and earlier. Now it is crawling with puffy jackets, tapered pants/sweats, designer eyewear and strollers. On a weekend early evening the place was pretty darn crowded. Order at a table with an employee behind a POS register. Pretty barebones, super legit tiled pizza ovens open to be viewed, pizza cooks in full busy action. There are few tables, which get taken quick, but many get it to-go, and many take it to the brewery next door, which we were one of those. ONLY 1 size, a thin crust large. ONLY 2 types of pizza, a cheese and a pepperoni. The meat version may change, not sure. But you can do a half n half of the 2 types. For having such tight offerings, people were still lining up for this. Half n Half Pizza ($35/4*) The Crust: They use a sourdough crust. I could taste it slightly, but not as overwhelming as sourdough bread. For some reason I tasted it more when it was fresh on my first few bites. After that not really. There is a super nice chew to this dough, bubbles big time in that oven. No significant crispness, so to me this was closer to a Neapolitan style versus NY style. They do char this thing pretty aggressively, not on the bottom but the outer edges. The outer crust has several pockets of black/burnt spots, which I don't care for. I know they are actually trying to achieve this, but I find myself ripping extra burnt crust off, so it is kinda wasteful to me. The Sauce: Very sparse distribution. Sure it is there but the tomato flavor is very mild. Again more Neapolitan style versus NY style where the sauce is more concentrated tomato flavor with big hits of oregano. I'm definitely more of NY slice type of dude, more satisfying to me. The Cheese: Not sure what the main cheese is but it is very light. It literally just melds into the sauce without any cheese pull. I'm totally fine with this as I'm not a fan of heavily cheesed pizzas. But in what you lose in creamy cheese sensation, they return it in almost comical amounts of freshly grated parm all on the outer crust of the pizza. When parm is shredded in a fine grater like this, the shreds are super fine and delicate. Does add a stealthy boom of umami in the bites but also very messy as the grated parm falls all over the place. The Toppings: The pepperoni were the super tiny version. Not as salty as conventional American pizzerias. I loved it. In the take-out box they also put super fresh whole basil clusters on the corners of the box. The basil is still on the stems, so you have to rip it yourself onto your slices. I love fresh basil on pizza, so I didn't mind doing the extra work. Never seen this approach before, gotta be that hipster edge. Glad I finally tried them. And since I am now a fan of the brewery next door, this can definitely be a nice combo going forward. Pizza and beer hipster style, not so mad at it. read more

June's Pizza - Half n half - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

June's Pizza is tucked away on a bit of an obscure street and housed in what looks like an old industrial warehouse, with the high ceilings, open space, and cool, minimalist vibe giving the place a bit of an unexpected charm and a unique vibe that I kind of dig. The menu keeps things simple, with just margherita or pepperoni as the staples, plus a rotating special that changes regularly, and I love that they offer an option for half-and-half pies, which is exactly what I went for. We grabbed ours to go but couldn't resist trying a slice fresh out of the oven, and it absolutely hit the spot. The undercarriage is thin but sturdy enough for that classic fold-and-bite moment, with a great chew and just the right scattering of char and blistered edges throughout and extending into the crust. The red sauce is bright and tangy, the pepperoni brings a savory kick (without being overly oily or salty) with a little spice, and the cheese is creamy and rich. Bonus points for the generous snowfall of shredded parmesan that gets rained down across the entire pie and the thoughtful touch of tucking the fresh basil off to the sides for takeout so it stays fresh and unwilted in transit. The staff were friendly and we had a fresh, piping-hot 18-inch pie in under 10 minutes. At that size and quality, the value is hard to beat as it easily feeds 4 people (or fewer with plenty of leftovers!). We went right when they opened around 4 p.m. so there was no line but I would absolutely wait to have this fresh as it's that good (and also since they don't take phone or online orders ha). read more

Delicious pizza! We were a group of 4 and decided to get half pepperoni and half marg. Slices were big, 8 slices were in the pie. We also tried the garlic sauce, that was delicious as well. We arrived 30 minutes after it opened, so we were able to find parking quickly. They do have a parking lot out front. Also, since we arrived early, seating was readily available for a group of 4 as well. It was a great spot to eat with friends. read more

June's Pizza is delicious, and we've been there a few times now, usually late at night, so we've only had the Margherita pizza. They're especially known for their sourdough crust, and they've absolutely got it down. The crust has great flavor and texture and really sets their pizza apart. The space itself adds to the experience. It's a minimalist, industrial spot with an open kitchen. At night, the place takes on a moody vibe with lights and good music, making it a great late night hangout. I also love their story, they started as a pandemic pop-up and have since reopened as a brick-and-mortar restaurant, and the quality shows in everything they do. Great pizza, great atmosphere, service, and a spot I'll definitely be back to. read more

Lined this place. It's basically a shipping container pizzeria that serves only two types of pizza per day, a salad, and beer or wine, white or red. You can watch the pizzas being made, they're totally delicious, and the cheeeese! So good. We tried both that day, margherita and pepperoni. The basil they put on the margherita pizza is so good. I can't even choose a favorite. It's possible I'm wrong and they don't have salad because I can't find a photo of it, but I think they might. Don't hold me to that one. But go get some delicious pizza! read more

I was slightly skeptical when they only served two kinds of pizza. But I do love simplicity, make something at it simplest form but make it really good. Nestled next to Brix brewery, it's the perfect accompaniment with the pizza. I was told it was a sourdough crust and I love sourdough, it was a good balance with the tomato sauce, cheese and fresh basil. It was a very relaxed and chill vibe and the service matched the same. The pizza is great when we return to CA we are definitely stopping by again. read more

Yeah, I may not be the best person to ask about if you should go to June's Pizza. First timer alert. My friend and I went to check out all of the hype regarding this pizza. I will say that it is just the hype. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was good. They only offer 2 kinds of pizza. If I am not mistaken, the offerings change. How often? "I don't know". On the menu was a margarita or pepperoni pizza. The young lady taking the order wasn't that helpful. When we first walked in she advised that someone will be right with us and when she came back we advised that we were eating the pizza there, she said seat yourself. Hm ok. This is what I'm going to say, it's not about the food. It's about the environment and the mannerism of the staff. If you have someone that is taking orders, they should be able to inform you of the process, menu, and answer questions to ensure the best experience. Here not so much, it was more of a point and click experience in my opinion. The true definition of fast food. I didn't like the overall experience for a $35.00 pizza. Not to mention when you pay upfront, it is suggested to leave a tip...for what? To point, click and bust your own table? In this case it's called keep a tip instead of leave one. Gawd. FYI- slices are available after 9PM. I had to read that in the handwritten print on the butchers paper taped on the wall that the cashier kept pointing to. There are only 2 items being served here, providing basic customer service shouldn't be too difficult to add. As stated, the pizza is good. In my case, I will order to go if I decide try again! Chow for now. read more

Everything we had hoped for and more! The dough and crust was as good as our favorite place that closed down. I have been in search of a comparable place for over a year. We arrived shortly after opening on a Friday afternoon. The parking lot was tiny but we secured a spot. There were several tables available to dining in. We ordered the half (marg) and half (pepperoni). Pizza was ready in about 10-5 minutes. We walked it over to the brewery next door to try their beer. The crust (just enough chew), sauce (not too sour), pepperoni, fresh basil, everything was on point. Highly recommend! read more

My best friend has been wanting to take me and our friends here for awhile, so we finally got the chance to! She placed the order while we waited at the Brix Factory Brewery next door. They're really nice to let us eat and drink there. Our wait time was about 30-40 minutes, but once we got our pizza, it was worth the wait and so delicious when fresh! I love how generous they are with the cheese and basil that compliments the simplicity of the pizza. Between the Pepperoni and Margherita pizzas we ordered, my favorite is the Margherita one! Hopefully we can dine at June's Pizza one day, the ambiance is so nice and calm. And so simple inside surrounded by workers who enjoy their job there read more

The pizza game from Oakland is strong with June's Pizza as a new up and coming contender with some real heavy hitters. My wife and I were introduced by family and were surprised to find it located next to a brewery in a small random lot. We lined up and patiently waited like everyone else. There is no menu board, but rather a hand written sign that includes their Margherita as well as a Special periodically. Seating is first come first served so you either have to get lucky or you can eat at the brewery next door as long as you order some beers to support their business too. Our party of 4 ended up sharing an entire Margherita pie and their special which at the time was pepperoni. The finished product looked like a Neopolitan style and NY style pizza had a baby. Puffy/airy crust with a nice char around a massive pie. Extra large slices that are best eaten when folded down the middle with a slightly crisp bottom that has some chewiness. Not as paper thin and crisp as NY Style, but not too soft requiring a fork/knife like Neopolitan. Each pie looked so appetizing covered in shredded parmigiano reggiano and huge leaves of fresh basil. Saying the taste was incredible is an understatement! Absolutely love how the cheese melts into the sauce which has so much depth of flavor. The balance of natural tomato sweetness and acidity was on point. The thicker cuts of pepperoni were so meaty and added a good amount of saltiness to an already outstanding slice. A true innovator in their own right with impeccable execution. Come to Oakland and check them out! read more

Got a pepperoni pie to go and it definitely hit the spot. There was a bit of a wait, but that's expected when your pizza is being made fresh--and it was well worth it. The pizza was really good: not overly saucy, the pepperoni had that perfect balance of soft with just enough crisp, and the sourdough crust was the real standout. It was soft, almost buttery in flavor, and melted in your mouth on certain bites. Will definitely be back, and I love having a spot like this so close to home. read more

June's Pizza - 1/2 and 1/2 - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Junes is iconic in the bay for a reason. I will admit, when I first looked at photos and heard it wasn't truly a restaurant, and only served 2 types of pizza, I was skeptical. But the glowing reviews brought me in and boy were they correct. With the simplicity of the menu it helps the line move fast, and helps your order come out quicker. It also helps them use the freshest ingredients possible so everything tastes fantastic. The pizzas are large so they're easy to share. We tried one of each. The margarita was the crowd favorite, hands down. Seating is very limited, so be prepared to sit elsewhere, wait, or battle it out for seating. While you sit you can see the pizza oven which is pretty fun. If Junes was closer we would be here all the time! read more

Pizza place happened to be next door to the brewery I was at. Small parking lot if you manage to snag a spot; otherwise, it's street parking. After 9 PM, they serve select pizzas by the slice for around $5. They had the margherita pizza slices, which was the perfect pizza slice to start off with. Quality, simple ingredients used. I couldn't help but notice the finely grated cheese and fresh basil on top. Simple yet so flavorful! The crust was somewhere between a thin crust and sourdough mixture. Two of my favorite things. I think next time I'll just buy the whole damn pizza. Until then! read more

June's Pizza - Slice of margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

June's Pizza is a fairly solid pizza option in Oakland. I appreciated the simplicity in its menu and the little details they chosen about their dining/customer experience with the line to pass orders into the kitchen, the partnership with the brewery next door and how pizzas literally get passed from station to station as they're made. The ambiance is definitely a place I'd take family or friends to if they're visiting, especially with the neighboring brewery next door. The simplicity of the menu really spoke to me. Over time, I've found as my palate has refined, I've opted for a marg, a cheese or sometimes a pep. The fact that this menu only has 3 options, I knew this pizza house really stands on business. The pizza itself was pretty good. I opted for half marg half pep. The tomato sauce on the pizza really shined for me, and I loved the aesthetic of the pizza with the hearty amount of Parmesan freshly shaved over the entire pie. What was a little confusing was the placement of the pepperoni and how burnt the crust got on certain slices. I basically had most of the pepperoni throw onto one of the slices and completely sogged through it into the box. An unusual amount of my crust was burnt. Not sure if it was intentional. I could see it as a way to give a pepperoni lover or burnt crust lover a slice of the pie for them, but it really threw me off. The rest of the entire experience felt really intentional so I could see that. If not for that, I would rank this as one of the top 10 pizzas in the Bay Area with Golden Boy, Tony's, and Slice of NY. It is a really aesthetic pizza though I'll give it that. And definitely a place I'll be taking friends to for a nice meal. read more

The ingredients and execution were solid overall. The dough could have used more yeast character, though the shaved cheese on top brought good saltiness to the cheese and basil half. They kept the sauce simple, letting the tomato flavor shine through. We split the pizza between cheese/basil and pepperoni - the pepperoni side was a bit too salty from too much meat. The cheese was problematic - it was sharper than ideal for pizza, and even eating it immediately after serving, it was slightly overcooked with that chewy, nutty texture you get from cheese that's been cooked too long (like a cheese crisp). It reminded me somewhat of L'Industrie in Brooklyn. Rating it as California pizza, I'd give it an 8/10, but compared to places I've tried in New York and Chicago, it's more of a 6/10. Service was really friendly and the interior was such a vibe. Although I think there are better slices, I'd definitely come back for the vibes. read more

I really enjoyed the food, we ordered the margarita pizza, wine and a glass of beer. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food is served fast and warm.
