Earlier this year they had a decent Pepperoni pie but I found myself continuing to order the Margherita. Whether I ate it there or took it home the quality was always there. You may have a longer wait if you come on a weekend, but there is a brewery next door to bide your time. It pains me, but I am only giving June's a 4/5 due to the removal of the Margherita pizza in favor of their new red pie. Candidly, I haven't tried the red pie pizza yet but the Marg pizza was a monthly staple for me. I will revisit this review if the red pie can stack up against the Margherita!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, but it took the news of them closing to get me…read morethere. At least I got to go a couple times before they closed and was able to try all the unique flavors that I wanted to try. The first time I went was with my family. We got a whole Ube pizza. The taste was good, and love the uniqueness of it. Even the dough is purple! There weren't that many people there when we went, so the service was quick. My second visit was closing weekend with a group of friends. I got to try two more flavors recommended by the server during my first visit - blackberry and longanisa. Both were very good in different ways. I think I preferred the blackberry slightly over longanisa. They had a lot of take out orders that day, and we got the last white dough (there were still Ube). Good thing we got what we got. Even though they were super busy, the service was still quick and pizza came out fast. I heard they opened up again in San Francisco but for take out only. So glad they reopened because after having the amazing pizzas right before they closed on Oakland, my friends and I were sad that we didn't go sooner. Can't wait to try again in the future.

Jeff, the owner and pizza maker, is so nice, warmly welcoming us upon arrival and inquired if we'd prefer indoor or outdoor seating. Beautiful day so opted for outdoor on their expansive back patio. Miso mushroom - new to me, savory and bright flavor. Yuzu and lemon acidity cuts into the savory of the mushroom and miso. Might be one of my new favorites. Soppresata - an OG item on the menu and one of my favorites. Simple classic pizza with soppresata topped with scallions and honey. Savory, sweet. The honey is perfect on this pizza. Longanisa - Filipino inspired with longanisa, baked egg, and tomato. Savory and sweet. Heaviest of the three pizzas. Comes with a side of sweet vinegar to drizzle on top. All three of these pizzas easily are favorites for me. They're super large and best to share with 2-3 people. All thin crust. 6 of us had these three pizzas and were able to finish it but were super stuffed. Wishing the best to Jeff and Spinning Dough's next adventure.

My daughter and I get an 18-inch pie from this place every other weekend because she loves their…read moresweet little pig pie and pizza in general. I don't know why the pies cost so much, but they are only a few blocks from our place, so I want to support the few restaurants that set up shop in West Oakland. However, I'm starting to sour on this place. I don't mind overpaying for pizza; that's just edible, but on a few occasions, I've been appalled by what these folks try to get away with. A couple of months ago, they gave us a pie that was so burnt I had to call to complain, and they replaced it with a less burnt pie. Perhaps they don't know that extremely burnt food is full of carcinogens. This week, we ordered our usual 18-inch pie. This pie was a Frankenstein pie; half of it tasted like it had been sitting under the lamp all day. A telltale sign is how stiff the cheese is; the old dough feels as if I'm chewing on rubber, and the slices are stiff and salty overall, though some slices taste a bit fresher and crunchier. I was disappointed. If you're going to overcharge for mediocre pizza, the least you could do is give people what they are paying for. If I wanted old, stale pizza, I would've asked for the slices that sit under the lamp all day. Moving forward, if we order from this place, I will walk over, place the order, and wait for it, so we don't get cheated again. This place is a reminder of why certain restaurants often fail. The food is overpriced, and they are inconsistent with their service, if not disrespectful, in how they sometimes treat and feed their customers. We're not pigs; we just like eating the sweet little pig.

A delicious variety of pizzas available in the Prescott Market at Pizzeria Violetta!…read more You can order in person at the counter and enjoy their dine in or market patio seating. Or you can order on your phone and let them know if you're dining in or picking up. We ordered the Sweet Little Pig pizza which has pepperoni, candied bacon, and basil on top! I really liked the tiny pep they used, they curl up when baked. This pizza was the perfect combo of sweet and savory, I bet it would be even better with some balsamic drizzled on it too. We also ordered a side of their blue cheese and basil ranch. I didn't know ranch could get any better than plain ranch. Basil ranch was bright and also creamy. I've been here a few times before to watch a warriors game. They've got tons of seating and of course they stream all of the games. Great community vibes and you get to enjoy delicious pizza and drinks while you're here.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the lemon cream, so the cashier kindly offered me a sample. It was delicious, with a lovely brightness that wasn't overpowering. It was so thoughtful of her to do that, and I really appreciated the gesture. The slice was $6, which I think is fair considering the freshness and high-quality ingredients. The whole mushroom pie is $43. There's also additional seating upstairs, including seats along the windows and a TV. A nice little spot to sit and enjoy your pizza! This is arguably one of the best pizza spots in the Bay Area!

There are a lot of choices in downtown Oakland, but they place is constantly busy. They have the best thin crust around and generous with good pizza and toppings. It's a little pricey if you compare them with the franchises like dominos and the likes, I got a large combo pie for about $50, but it's apple and oranges compare to the chains. If you are looking for just a slice, they do have them. I decided on the large to feed about 6 adults with a slice or two left over. Overall, my go to spot for pizza around downtown.

The pizza itself is AMAZING. Just as I announced the Yukon potato pizza was my favorite I had marinated artichoke with Bulgarian feta.

While Heshers gives this punk rock, aggro vibe online, inside the staff were warm and super friendly.

Sat at the bar and enjoyed my cider as well as convo with the other guests and bartender. In about 20 min, my pizza was ready. I took everything to go but was home in minutes. Couldn't wait for the first bite, and was NOT disappointed. Crisp crust pizza... not quite Detroit. Not Sicilian... def not New York style. But absolutely delicious. Came with a few packets of Parmesan and crushed peppers. Added it all and it was too good to leave a single slice for tomorrow. I'll be back, Heshers! Take my money! And thank you!

The ballot box is a mere 30 second walk from this spot, so yes, be inspired to live out this pairing. I hoped that Pizza Ponte would be the Boichik Bagels equivalent (original, before the factory) on the West Coast. The texture was crisp, the thinness was appreciated, the ingredients were even tasty. It was just the flavor. The dough, it needed more flavor. NY slice? A beautifully textured slice. I wouldn't repeat this unless I went plain cheese to double-check (was Goddess the wrong choice?) and the dough was given a little something. Maybe the starter is fresh, maybe it needs a few years. I will return in a few if Pizza Ponte is still here, which I hope it is. Also, as a side note: some white man cut right in front of me announcing "I have to use the bathroom before we go!" as I was about to enter to wash my hands, which if you're reading Yelp reviews to pat yourself on the back for your dinner decision, just as you were announcing it to the whole restaurant in a loud voice with the woman who pretended she wasn't with you when I looked around like what-just-happened after your rude move, here's your don't-do-that-to-a-woman, again.
