I took out a 10" build-yer-own pizza and really liked it. Very good, chewy crust (not one of those cracker ones that my girlfriend oddly favors) and completely customizable toppings. I ordered it cheeseless and it still turned out great. Many pizzerias fail at making cheeseless pizza but not here. read more

Severe drop in standards. Dangerous allergen mistake and zero management oversight.I used to be a faithful patron of Philomena and highly valued their gluten-free options. After being away from town, I finally returned, only to have a deeply disappointing experience that ensures I won't be back. Allergen Safety: They served me a regular beer after explicitly stating it was gluten-free. If I hadn't double-checked online, this would have been a severe medical issue. Staff gave no apology, and management said nothing. Hygiene: We ordered Da Bomb and found a hair on the plate halfway through eating. Several fruit flies surrounded our table, with one landing directly on on my plate .Value & Portions: The pizza sizes have shrunk dramatically. Charging $18 for a pizza that didn't even span 10 inches is unacceptable. Customer Service: I had to explicitly ask to have the contaminated food removed from my bill. A $33 total for a tiny 8-inch pizza and terrible service is absurd. A manager never once stepped up to acknowledge the hair in the food, the fly issue, or the dangerous beverage mix-up. This is not how you run a business. read more

Philomena - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Ordered through DoorDash. Prices on DoorDash is a little higher in person but that's given since DoorDash charges the restaurant extra. After reviewing the comments I suggest ordering directly on their website. So for the food I've ordered the 16 inch miss piggy pizza, garlic waffle parm fries, and 8pc half buffalo half garlic Thai. Let me tell you! I got the food within like 40mins from placing my order which isn't bad at all and the food came piping hot. The miss piggy pizza was so good the cheese mixed well with the pork belly and ham and green onions. Heating it back up in the air fryer made it so much better and crispy and melted cheesy lol it was pretty bomb I recommend this flavor. The garlic parm fries was ok not used to the batter of the fry but not bad. The wings tasted grilled in a way but pretty good. The pizza was the best thing though and I'll have to come in person to try it more fresh. read more

This is a local pizza spot in Oakland! My friends and I decided to come by to catch up and watch the Warriors game that they play on Tv! Since it was a Tuesday, they also had trivia night! We had called to make a small reservation since this place could get busy. The decoration was wonderful! It was all ready for Halloween. There were many beers to choose from. You're able to sample the beers as well! We ended up choosing the Hazy IPA and west coast IPA. There was a hint of a cinnamon after taste to the Hazy IPA that I enjoyed. As for the food, we chose to get the Garlic Thai Wings, Buffalo Wings, large waffle fries, and half Mushrooms and Half Miss Piggy pizza! AND BEIGNETS!!! Everything was delicious. Overall, the vibes were great, the food was great, and the service was great! This is definitely a good casual place to meet up with friends and hang out! read more

Crust is premade and tastes like sandwich bread. Toppings are ok but the pepperoni topping is minimal.

We ordered 2 personal (10") pizzas. I got the pineapple and ham one because it's my go-to pizza option. I have to say, I was very underwhelmed. Was it a pineapple and ham pizza? Yes. Would I come here again? Maybe not for the pizza. Something's missing...maybe seasoning the crust? Domino's tastes better and is more affordable for sure. If you like the Costco supreme pizza, then you might like the one that has olives on it. read more

I appreciate the reply. FYI, just before writing that I was looking at takeout orders on DoorDash. At the time, most every 16' pizza was priced starting at $42 and going up. It wasn't just the pizzas, a Caesar salad was priced at around $21-22. I just checked them again, and all of those prices seem to have dropped 25%. I unfortunately do not have screenshots from a couple of days ago, but will share what I see now. Right now I'm seeing 16' gourmet pizzas in the low $30's which I agree is fine and not out of bounds. It looks like the Caesar salad is now only $16. One of two things has happened: 1. You adjusted door dash prices on your end. Or 2. The DoorDash algorithm added surge pricing. Whatever the situation is, I do not think it is ok on the customer end. If you intend for prices to be in the low 30s, that's not what I was seeing. And I didn't just look at the pizza, it was several things shockingly high. But again, right now they appear to be lower. read more

We ordered delivery from Philomena and really enjoyed the food. They have 16" and 10" pizzas. There's lots of specialty pizzas on the menu, but we decided to do a couple of build-your-own pizzas. They also have salads and wings. Everything was very tasty. I found the outer pizza crust a bit hard, but that could have been due to the transit time for our delivery. What we ordered: + Ham & pineapple - great flavor + Sausage, mushroom, olives - this was a good combo + Caesar salad - nice and still crisp (we asked for dressing on the side) + Chicken wings - very yummy read more

Food, beverages, service, ambiance, events, cozy neighborhood vibe's feel atmosphere as good as it gets!

The ratings on yelp are not by accident. Place was great across the board but service made the experience above and beyond. If you have a kid playing over @ ogp and have time to kill, great spot. Plenty of big tables, great pizzas. Got nba playoffs on tvs at our request. read more

We ordered a Margherita pizza plus beignets. Both were abysmal. The dough used for both must have been overworked. Both orders were uber-chewy and hard simultaneously. The beignets had almost no sugar on (or in) them, and they were cut in strange shapes, some edging on burnt. A waste of our time, $$ and no real dinner to eat. read more

Philomena pizza is everything a local spot should be. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family--warm smiles, genuine hospitality, and a cozy, family-oriented atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The pizza is hands-down some of the best around: perfectly cooked crust, fresh ingredients, and flavors you can tell are made with care and pride. Every bite feels like comfort food done right. And don't even think about skipping dessert--because their desserts are next-level. Truly the best dessert I've had from a pizzeria, and the perfect ending to an already amazing meal. It's more than just great food--it's heart, community, and quality all in one place. If you're looking for incredible pizza, unforgettable desserts, and a place that makes you feel at home, Luci and Kyle were amazing! We'll be back again and again. read more

Order delivery from here frequently when I'm in Oakland. It is, in my opinion, the best pizza and wings in the area. I particularly love the Margherita pizza (which I eat too fast to ever remember a picture) and extra crispy classic buffalo wings. Their blue cheese is AMAZING, and I always order extra for later. They don't let you make substitutions on their specialty pizzas but you can always make your own however you like and it turns out amazing. While I have never been into the actual restaurant the host was amazingly helpful when there was a delivery issue. read more

Great hidden gem in East Oakland. The wings are my favorite. They have amazing pizzas and salads. Local craft beer available. Great vibe, live music, and great place to watch a game. Staff is friendly and professional. Parking along the street can be tricky, but totally worth it. I highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Philomena for at least 7 years and it is the best pizza I've had in the Bay Area. I'm from St. Louis, the melting pot of pizza styles, so I have had experience. Besides the great pizza, they have an array of local craft beers on draft and in can, which I also appreciate. I also love their salads, which have freshly chopped veggies- nothing pre-chopped from a bag. The service at Philomena is top notch. Many of the servers and kitchen staff have worked there for years, which demonstrates management that cares and that staff like their jobs. I also know if something is not right with your order, they'll fix it. I feel that the staff puts a lot of effort into creating an ambiance that feels cozy and Oakland proud. I love the giant tables, stools, and bar. There are lots of televisions for sports watching and there are options to sit outside. Overall, Philomena is one of my favorite places to go in Oakland. I take out of town visitors there and can always bank on quality and delicious food. Is it a few dollars more? Sure, but to me it's worth it. Protips: join the loyalty program for free beers and zerts, park in their lot across the street if you're not a fan of street parking, bring the kids because you can bribe them with gelato and cookies, order delievery straight from their website (not DoorDash), and check out their Instagram for trivia and music events! The San Antonio neighborhood deserves this gem, so check 'em out. read more

Food was very basic kinda bad tbh i feel like i can make better pizza at home . Chef needs to step it up the ceasar salad was pretty bad they gave me old lettuce and the sauce tasted like it came out a bottle not fresh made at all . The server was really pretty and nice mexican American latina. Im not going to give it one star becouse im not a hater and theres room for improvement mainly on the chefs or managers side but the food was not that good tbh i just went off the reviews surprised the ratings are so high tbh. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now thanks to my Roomate for telling me about this place. They have some of the best pizza ever I love their wings. The service is always super good. They always have a good selection of beers on tap. I keep continuing to come back and put extra chili oil on my pizza. This place is my favorite pizza place in all of the Bay Area. A lot of people that I talk to about pizza always say they think June's in Oakland is the best and in my opinion this tops that. read more

Update your website on "the bomb". Wrong info, wrong advertisement. Waste of time. I spent 18$ just to get some dry tater tots with no white cheese sauce, sour cream, or bacon. (Which is what is advertised on website and DoorDash) my husband had to drive back and ended up getting the money back. You can literally buy a 5$ bag of tots and make it really the bomb. Don't waste your time or money on that dish. You'll be disappointed for sure. read more

We came in late on a Friday night, close to closing time, but the staff was very welcoming, and didn't rush us at all. We ordered two pizzas to go and enjoyed some delicious gelato while we waited. I got the Harborside pizza and it was amazing. Their pizza can also be made with a gluten-free crust. read more

Awesome food and staff. Great environment, and it gets packed on events like trivia night. Highly recommended !!!

open pretty late, available on DoorDash, and has vegan cheese!! did a make your own pizza and it was really good. loved the option to customize each half of the pizza. They also had a really good 45% off deal on DoorDash when we ordered! My only feedback is I would love more vegan options especially a vegan pepperoni and blue cheese (I vote for "nuts for cheese" brand) please! read more

Trivia in Tuesdays staff is awesome and so is rhe food. Great little neighborhood gem

One of the best pies to have in town. They really know what they're doing with their combos... the dough.. is perfect crispy, but chewy, and slightly tangy.. if you can only have one pie for your first time, and are carnivorous, please do yourself a favor and go for "Miss Piggy". If meat isn't your thing, how about the "Garlic Garden"? There's something for everyone. Bonus, they have trivia nights, and live music nights, and a brunch that I can only drool about. read more

Me and my gf went there for brunch yesterday morning and Tanya could not have been sweeter! She was so bubbly and attentive and sweet when we asked about vegan options, and when she brought out the mango mimosas she offered to rework them if they were too sweet (spoiler: they were perfect). Incredible service and criminally underrated brunch read more

Very good Pizzas, refreshing Kombucha (low on sugar) and exceptional service. Had a good time.

as a girl who grew up in NJ and NY this is the first pizza that has made me feel like home. I don't know what it is about it but it always takes me back. the crust is always great, the cheese is so good, and as a garlic lover the minced garlic on top is EVERYTHING. super nice staff, clean and great restaurant, delicious food! read more

Philomena's is great. We're in Berkeley otherwise we'd get pizza every week. Still, I'm always surprised it's not as far as it seems in my head (once I get on 24). Friendly small-pub vibe. Our family loves their pizzas (kids like plain pie; I love the Garlic Garden). Somehow I fail to submit the order on the toast website, so twice I've been 'forced' to enjoy one of their draft pints while enjoying the friendly atmosphere. Can be loud and sporty, but I love that they have so many cool weekly/monthly events. I want to bring my 9 year old for magic the gathering one of these days. read more

I ordered a 16' pepperoni pizza which was slightly salty and greasy throughout the bottom center. Also, I was following the order tracker and went in 7min earlier and seen my pizza sitting there on the wire shelf. Unfortunately the tracker did not show that it was ready. That being said my pizza must have been sitting for a while since it was cold. read more
