Delicious gourmet pizzas at a price point that can meet every budget and prepared and baked in mere minutes, Pizza Guys is a welcome addition to the Berkeley fast casual/ budget dining scene. Located on the corner of University and San Pablo Avenues in a building that once housed Little Caesars and now has gotten a major upgrade thanks to this new franchise that recently opened. I am so pleased that the owner Ali Vahdat decided to expand his horizons and open his first of planned two franchise locations of Pizza Guys. A location that is perfect for not only Berkeley locals, but college students and faculty alike. I had the opportunity to originally check out the pizzas thanks to a special event that they hosted when they originally opened months ago and I was so impressed with the two pizza pies that I ordered, not to mention how fast I was able to pick them up, I immediately decided to make a return visit a mere months later to order another pizza pie and their new item on their menu that was calling my name. Pizza Guys byline is "Home of the Specialty Pizzas" and they weren't kidding about that as they have no fewer than thirteen pizzas on their Specialty Pizza menu, including versions of an Impossible Pizza. I personally stay with the tried and true and order a small 10 inch Pizza Guys Combo pizza and their new Cheezee Bacon Rolls. Calling in my order was super easy as owner Vahdat took my order and said it would be ready in fifteen minutes for pick up. It turned out to be a much shorter wait than expected, as the nice thing is that once they take your cell phone number after you order, they text you updates as your pizza is ready for pick up. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for me to drive to University Avenue as the only thing was the traffic on the corner of University and San Pablo Avenues, but again thankfully there is a huge parking lot behind the building that houses Pizza Guys, which in Berkeley, complimentary parking is nothing short of a miracle. Pick up from their small store was super easy, as my pizza and rolls were ready for pick up and nicely being stored in one of the warmers they have near their counter area. My pizza was 17 dollars and the Bacon Rolls were 11 dollars, and although the rolls, which to be quite honest weren't super affordable, I was still so happy I bought them as they were rolled goodness with plentiful amounts of bacon and mozzarella combined with rolled pizza dough. My Pizza Guys Combo pizza featured fresh-made dough, whole-milk mozzarella cheese, and a sauce made with fresh-packed, California-grown tomatoes, all topped with pepperoni, sausage, green bell peppers and olives. Once I returned home, both my pizza and rolls were still warm to the touch and each slice and roll was full of flavors thanks to the quality ingredients that each item contained. Thankfully the rolls received a complimentary container of ranch dressing for dipping which only added to the flavor. And despite it only being a 10 inch pizza my party of three people with whom I shared this lunch with, had enough food for two servings that covered two lunches. The fact that they managed to open this location of Pizza Guys in the current situation we find ourselves in is even more remarkable. Pizza Guys even implemented tamper-proof packaging, contactless delivery, cashless payments ,and has even put up sneeze guards in all of their stores. And this goodwill seems to be transferred to their staff as well, as the both times I went, they seemed to have a lot of pizza makers and front counter personnel to serve you, as you are in and out, and hopefully they are able to take advantage of the complimentary pizza they are currently promising their staff to get them through these harrowing days/ months/ years ahead of us. Because when the tough gets going, the tough eat pizza and at Pizza Guys in Berkeley they have a number of affordable options, with plenty of coupons to take advantage of as well, which makes the worlds of affordability and deliciousness possible at Pizza Guys in Berkeley. read more

not great quality (not bad, just not great) pizza, but fast. definitely not inexpensive, especially considering that the pizza isn't anything special. read more

We recently ordered a ton of cheesy bread togo for a group gathering. It was perfect. Delicious, cheap and just what we were looking for. No complaints. read more

Artisian pizza? No. But does Northern California really do pizza well enough to be pretentious and judgmental? Cheap, easy, predictable pizzas. Really nice people running this location. Always as expected. Never disappoints. These guys even carry the specific crispy pepperoni cups. If you don't know the Italian purveyor of cured meats, Ezzo, you have no business being pretentious. Look it up. read more

My order: ⁣Cup & Crisp Pepperoni Duo⁣ Street Taco Flatbread⁣ Cheezee Bacon Rolls⁣ ⁣ What's your favorite pizza topping? ⁣ If there's a kind of pepperoni I enjoy, it's the cup and crisp kind! And Pizza Guys has perfected it! ⁣ As for the flatbread, literally think of a street taco but flat! This featured item also comes with a complimentary cute lil hot sauce. Taco Tuesday has a new buddy! ⁣ The Cheese Bacon Rolls-- oh my goodness; I should have ordered more! They were amazing!!! The dough was soft, fluffy and cheeeezeeeee! The bacon adds that extra crisp and mmmyummy to it! We brought our food to the park, (the one near the school, I forgot the name lol!), so if you need picnic food- go to PIZZA GUYS! read more

Got the Cheezee bacon rolls and they were delicious! Super fresh and looked like they hand rolled each one. The outside layer was like a soft pizza dough that perfectly complemented the moist, cheesy inside. There was a perfect balance of bacon, cheese and bread and with the addition of ranch, it was even better. Had leftovers the next day and popped it in the toaster oven and they were still awesome. Prob the best appetizers I've had from a pizza place. read more

Pizza Guys - Cheezee Bacon Rolls - Chicken Wings Near Me - Berkeley, California

The service here is 10 stars. The pizza is four stars. There are plenty of menu options and they even feature Impossible meat now! So, I got a BBQ (Impossible) Beef, a Creamy Pesto chicken, and a half and half with combo and garlic spinach on thin crust. They got my order right, all substitutions right (wanted sweet BBQ sauce instead of spicy on the BBQ pizza and black olives instead of green on the Creamy Pesto). I never would'veknown that the Impossible meat is meatless. Toppings and size are generous. The manager is super organized, knowledgeable, and on top of it. Thanks, Pizza Guys Berkeley! read more

I had the honor to attend a Yelp Elite event for this new location in Berkeley. Parking is fairly easy, located off of University Avenue in Berkeley which can be a really busy street but there's street metered parking (ends at 6pm) right in front and you can turn in and there's a parking lot close to the 99 cents store and Subway. I was coming from Vallejo so I called before heading out there and it was so easy, I was greeted by a friendly worker, Daniel who was very thorough when taking my order and was very clear. I easily made my order over the phone, I ordered a large pizza, half combo and half pepperoni. I also got the 12 piece sweet bbq chicken wings with ranch. He said that it would take 15-20 minutes and I also received text messages that my order was ready. It was easy to pick up and I was worried they would be busy because of the yelp event but it was all ready by the time I got there. They take card and they have plexi glass up in front with openings wide for the pizza. I'm sure delivery shouldn't be hard either. The pizza and chicken were amazing and all at a decent cost. read more

Good quality. A massive upgrade over Little Caesars. The prices are higher than I usually pay for pizza unless it's Zachary's. Some coupons for Pizza Guys via mail and their website. I live close by so I'll check them out more often read more

Everything is so satisfactory to me! The man who handed me the pizza and wings was so gentle and friendly. His smile lit up my tiring day. The pizza guy combo is full of meet and covered with nice vegetables. I also ordered 8 wings for two different flavor. The spicy BBQ and lemon pepper are both so good. read more

Very shady practices, on the menu board it said the pizza guys combo was 24 dollars and they charged me 26 dollars, making up the excuse that you needed to have a coupon to get the on-menu price, will not be coming back here. Neither should you, very unprofessional and super disappointed read more

Pretty good pizza! No complaints. Staff nice and on their game. Fast and reasonably priced fairly good choices

I first tried this place through a yelp event and really liked the pizza I got. I had a half half Tuscan chicken and Serrano chili pizza. Pizza had a nice crisp thin crust with plenty of toppings. They didn't skimp on the pineapple, bacon, or fresh tomatoes. I'd order pizza from them again. Today I ordered their mango habanero wings and the cheezee bacon rolls. The wings were a bit on the small side but still good. They were tender and not dry. The sauce isn't really spicy to me. It was more sweet with a slight kick. Buffalo sauce might be even spicier! Now the rolls... they were amazing!! Garlicky and bacon-ey and cheesy.. mmm mmm! They had a nice chew and just the perfect crispness around the edges. Highly recommend those! I also ordered online for pick up and it was really easy. I scheduled the time and I got a text when it was ready. Super easy. The people inside were also really friendly. Storefront is small and there's no place to sit either. All the food is kept inside their heating bags when they're ready too. Parking isn't too difficult since there's a parking lot in the back for the dollar store. It's just kind of sketchy in that area. There's a lot of people just hanging out outside there but they seem to mind their own business. read more

This is my go to pizza spot in the Berkeley area due to the quality and price! I always order a Large pepperoni pizza and it never disappoints. They are reasonable priced compared to other pizza shops and the save/cheese bread ratio is solid. In addition to this they always make pizzas ready within 15-20 mins max so they are quick. Lastly the nice thing is they always leave you with in additional coupons on your pizza box for next time. read more

HALAL PEPPERONI NEED I SAY MORE?? Dude was super nice and friendly and greeted me with super upbeat positive vibes. Might be a regular now

Ordered on grubhub but never arrived. Don't order from this place. Grubhub support and I called this place, no answer. 15 mins later restaurant calls and says pizza is being delivered and said I had already cancelled. It's already 19 mins past eta delivery time. I told them "okay". They didn't say If pizza was still going to be on the way or not. What a joke. read more

I just went here for the first time tonight to test out the pizza at Pizza Guys. I have Little Star taste, but a Little Caesar's budget, and this place is kind of a happy medium in many senses. For my first foray, I ordered a large Impossible Artichoke Pesto over the phone, and it was delicious! From their website's menu: "Tuscany thin crust, 100% whole milk mozzarella, green olives, marinated artichoke hearts, diced tomatoes and Impossible™ beef." The Impossible beef had a great sear and flavor to it, and the other toppings were fresh and succulent. The thin crust has a decent chew to it, is lightly crisp, not super-crisp. While it's not as crisp as I'd have liked, it's excellent for its price point. The pizza arrives on a corrugated piece of cardboard that helps to prevent it from sitting it its own moist heat, which I appreciate. They slice their pizza into many skinny slivers, which is great for portion control, for kids (who have smaller hands and mouths), and makes it easier to store if you have leftovers. The cashier who helped me was very pleasant, and gave me what I requested, which I appreciated. I'll update this review as I keep trying different pies. read more

I love the food they have really good service and they cook good. They have good people its a really beutiful place and its a nice ambiance

food is good...but the stuff at the counter is kind of robot...people should train their stuff with service skills

Okay... what a bummer. My gal walked out of the place with large pizza that actually looked to be more like a small pizza in a small box.. ($29) the toppings were thin and the sauce was stupid thin.. the cheese was thin and poor quality.. (not the classic stretch stuff.. more like the classic chewy rubber stuff) crust was classic cardboard crust. (One Boring crust) I will never come back as I have had many frozen pizzas that cost $5.00 that tasted much better. This place won't make it unless they wake up. Our pizza looked nothing like their photos on here.. sorry I didn't get a photo.. my gal was getting a bit sensitive. Most large pizzas are 12 slices.. we got 8... like I said it was stupid small And we were totally ripped off. They could probably double their sales if they started with frozen DiGiorno pizzas. Yikes!! My worst review ever.. read more

Pizza was great. I love pizza guys deliver was on time family loved it . I can't wait to try rest of menu items. read more

I would've rated the restaurant five stars but I paid for two marinara sauces and it did not get delivered. Nor was I given/notified for possible refund. That is two to three bucks missing. Sheeesh. read more

Solid and consistent pizza. What's up? the cup n crisp pizza, that's watz up. It's like the old-school oven pizzas but on steroids, aka good. Would I recommend this to you? How the hell should I know, I don't know you. All I can tell you is that I've been ordering the cup and crisp pizza (and salad (gotta keep healthy yo)) for the past two months. read more

Grand Opening sale is sill on as of this date. Go For It ! read more

Pizza is awful. Bring back little caesars plz. The crust is chewy, toppings suck and everything about it is bad. No parking and pretty expensive for a chain pizza. read more

I can't rave about this place enough! The customer service is fantastic (Ali in particular). The pizza is delicious and the prices are great, especially for the Bay Area. Be sure to check em out! read more

Delivery was quick and deal was good. The cheesey bread was tasty with the marinara dipping sauce. Only 4 stars because they put the pineapple on before baking so it was denatured and not sweet. Definitely need to put it on AFTER baking so it stays sweet and not nasty. read more

We got a pizza from this joint because our kids' school had done a fundraiser with them - and we were blown away at how yummy the pizza was! This is whatever you envision classic, traditional 'za to be, only really high quality. The cheesy garlic bread is a must-have item. We've now eaten here a bunch of times. Really affordable, they always get the order right, food is always yummy. When's the last time you took a break and did pizza for dinner? I think you should get a pie from these guys. Thanks Pizza Guys! read more

I had a great experience last night, on the way back from sf to El Cerrito I stopped to pump gas in berkley I was hungry and on the way to pick up my kids before heading back home to brentwood. I'm glad I did I stopped and ordered pizza for the kids and got one for my wife and myself. The whole crew was awesome and super friendly totally brought me back to the good ole days of friendly people and good food. Andres took my order and I believe Daniel and Misa made my order from start to finish. I will most definitely be coming back here anytime I'm in the area!!!! Great food I'm glad I found this gem. read more

Hopefully their pizza is better than their wings...literally feel like I just experienced highway robbery. No meat on them and they were not cheap. I didn't pay $28 after taxes for 16 chicken bones. I won't be ordering from them again. read more

Really solid cheese pizza. Admittedly I've only had the cheese pizza and cheesy bread, but both are very tasty. There's a lot of parking in the 99 cent store lot off San Pablo and university, which is nice. read more

The pizza was great! I had the pepperoni duo. Their food quality is good and way better than the old lil caesars thay used to be there. They have a neat app which notifies u when your food is ready too. Definitely worth checking out. The dessert menu looks awesome!! They also gave me this nice reusable bag! read more

Had the Family Special. As others have noted, the toppings are very skimpy. The mozzarella cheese amount was ok. The crust is a slight step above Dominos and the pizza was hot. As with Seniore's Pizza, the delivery guy smoked. Though not as bad, DON'T SMOKE AROUND CUSTOMER'S ORDERS!!!! The cookie was salty, but if they reduce the salt, it would be great. The cheese bread was ok. As for the tip, input an amount, since they take it on the pre-discount amount cost, with tax and service fee. Also, $5.00 for delivery is excessive. I will not likely order it again. read more

Ordered and was promised a 15 minute wait time. During our wait they told another customer it was slow and it would take 10 minutes to prep their order. A timer rang around 15 minutes after I ordered. One of the workers looked over to me and asked to see my receipt. Apparently they forgot to make our order and we had to wait another 15 minutes for our pizza. I requested a discount for the extended wait time. He was defensive, stating they were "busy" as an excuse and said they could take back the pizza if I wanted a refund. We were offered free ice cream (which is already complementary with a $25+ order). The pizza was undercooked and overpriced. I miss when Little Caesar's was at this spot. read more
