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

Too much breading to sauce, cheese and topping ratio. -Would i try again - absolutely when visiting again and hungry. I will give this place another shot whenever I'm back on campus....

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

They're consistent, quick, and the Desi Bread, Aloo Gobhi, Tandoori Chicken, and Chili Paneer pizzas are delicious. It's a perfect choice when ordering for groups, since they have so many varied flavors and vegetarian options. It's great that CPH has spread its wings (proverbial; I haven't tried their wings) across the bay and elsewhere. 15 years ago, we had to travel to Pizza and Curry in Fremont, which was fantastic but not particularly close. Also, the last time we ordered, they had the option of making the pizza into a heart! It probably resulted in a smaller pizza, but it was absolutely worth it.

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.

I've been wanting to try this place out for forever and it finally happened! Safe to say this is…read morethe best pizza I've ever had in Berkeley. We were a party of three and definitely over ordered- the Sicilian style Ray J, Truly thin and crispy, and arancini, but zero regrets. The Truly thin and crispy really reminded me of the Ciccino at Truly Pizza in Dana Point, which is my favorite pizza spot in the world! As the name suggests, it's very thin and crispy and I loved the texture. Great as an appetizer pizza lol. Thick square focaccia style pizza is definitely my preference, which is why the Ray J Sicilian was my favorite here. The toppings are generous, love the large chunks of cheese and the hot honey on this one. The arancini we got was also amazing, it had a slight lemony tang to it and some veggies inside which balanced out all the fried cheesiness in it. Would super recommend Pizzeria da Laura, and come in a large party if you can! I think my only downside is the bathroom situation as you have to take a key to take the elevator downstairs and it was hard to get a hold of the key, but maybe try to come at a less busy time. That reminds me, for sure make a reservation for weekends! Super easy to do on their website. Service by everyone was very kind and they were helpful explaining the difference between all their pizzas.

I've been looking forward to visiting Pizzeria da Laura ever since I heard about Chef Laura Meyer's…read moresuccess in world pizza competitions. It definitely lived up to the hype. The location is excellent. It's within walking distance of UC Berkeley, just a minute from Downtown Berkeley BART, and there's a public parking garage a block away. Another nice touch is the market next door. They sell pizza by the slice, snacks, and drinks. I would've been there 100% during my college days. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and inviting. You can watch the pizzas being made, and there's also a TV if you want to catch a game while you eat. It had a relaxed neighborhood feel that made us want to stay a little longer. Having delivered for Round Table back in the '90s, I have an appreciation for the flow of a pizza operation. Everything felt organized and efficient. We started with the Chicories & Beets salad. It was fresh, crisp, and a perfect way to start the meal. We ordered the 18" NY Ray J and Detroit The Standard. Detroit The Standard was my favorite. The crispy, caramelized cheese edges were incredible, while the inside stayed light and airy. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked, not soggy at all. Every topping tasted fresh, and the balance of pepperoni, sausage, onions, olives, and sauce was spot on. The NY Ray J was just as impressive. The crust had the perfect balance of crispiness and chew, making it easy to fold. The combination of thin and thick pepperoni, creamy burrata, fresh basil, fermented honey, and Parmigiano Reggiano was outstanding. Every slice came with a great cheese pull. Both pizzas had crispy crusts, fresh toppings, quality ingredients, and just the right amount of sauce. We left feeling satisfied, not heavy or bloated. We visited on a Wednesday, and by dinner time the restaurant was full. That's always a good sign. One of the highlights of the visit was chatting with Chef Laura about dough, ingredients, and technique. It gave me an even greater appreciation for the attention to detail that goes into every pizza, and I picked up a few ideas that will definitely improve my homemade pizza game. I'm actually eating the leftovers as I write this review. They reheat beautifully. The crust stays crispy, the toppings still taste fresh, and they're just as satisfying the next day. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Whether you're a Berkeley local or just passing through, Pizzeria da Laura is absolutely worth the trip.

Stopped by Rose Pizzeria for lunch in Berkeley. They have very limited indoor seating (1-2 tables)…read moreand a nice outdoor patio with more seating. Their kitchen is pretty tiny, with maybe 1-2 chefs. I went on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait. I don't think they'd really be able to accommodate a larger party (5+ people). Their menu is kind of limited, and I wasn't really excited about their pizza offerings. They don't allow substitutions or mixing flavors (half and half), and their flavors either had meat and cheese or veggies and cheese (didn't see any that mixed meat and veggies unfortunately). They did have a few unique flavors like one that combined feta with I think it was like apricot or some fruit? We ordered 2 Pepperoni & Basil pizzas for 3 people ($24/pizza). Our waiter was nice and the pizzas came out fairly quickly. The pizza was good, but didn't stand out to me. I did like the texture of the crust (very crunchy). I probably won't be back because I prefer combo-type pizza, but it's a nice lunch or dinner spot.

Came back again and tried their chef's special. Portion size was amazing! Chicken was more on the overcooked side, but that saved me from diarhea I guess. Anyway, definitely going to be a long time returning customer! No awkward tip prompt when paying too so that was also a huge plus. Summart: great option for budget minded folks who still like to eat out.

I stopped into Gipsy with a friend after work for some pasta. They were rolling out a brand new…read morecomputer system that day, so ordering took longer than expected and the staff seemed a bit lost with it. We didn't mind waiting -- new systems take time to learn. What bothered me more was the execution. We ordered identical meals -- same pasta, same salad, and a margherita pizza to share. When the food came out, my friend's pasta had mushrooms while mine didn't. After trying his, mine tasted completely bland. Then the pizza arrived and it wasn't margherita -- just plain cheese pizza that didn't taste very good. It was a slow time of day with only a few tables, so it wasn't a chaotic rush. I didn't want to hold up our plans by sending things back, but the mistakes stayed with me. The pasta had potential, and I'd still give them another chance, but they really need to focus on listening to the customer and getting the orders right.
