D. Lish. I had to keep trying to make it to 85 characters to post a review. Anyways. The pizza is scrumptious. read more

Pizza Ponte on MacArthur in North Oakland, two brothers who basically reverse engineered what makes a great NY slice. Grande mozzarella, Stanislaus tomatoes, cornmeal on the bottom of the crust. The research shows. Thin crust NY style holds up to the fold, blistered right at the edge, not floppy, not stiff. Green goddess is the sleeper pick, garlic chicken is the crowd favorite. Detroit style is also in rotation and lands just as well, pepperoni cups with ricotta on top is exactly what it sounds like. By the slice shop that actually does it right, which is rarer than it should be in Oakland. Go hungry, the 20 inch is a commitment read more

Delicious pizzeria to grab a pie in this charming area! Had jalapeño pepperoni & pineapple on these giant slices & they were divine. Friendly service & great decor, also the basil garnishes were a nice touch. read more

Fantastic pizza. Got the No a and the green goddess and both were delish! Love the crispy crust... flavorful and just the right amount of crunch. Will definitely be back!! read more

Came at 11:30 and prob got the last whole pie ordered. Service was great they didn't rush us out when I realized it was 12:08 and they closed at 12.. my bad yall I was lit. They were very friendly and wished us a good night as we left I just got back from NY so ima give it my Dave Portoy score of 7.2. Was solid. Little flop. Reallllly good pepperonis. I was going it was a bit thinner but New York is always going to be elite. I heard I gotta try the ones with ricotta and the pesto one too I'd def go back to try the other slices and id say for Cali this was a good pizza overall with great service and affordable $40 for a 20 inch read more

Pizza Ponte - Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Tied for 1st place in the Bay! June's and Pizza Ponte' (followed by Mamas Boy then Artichoke Basil). This place's crust is made with real love. The generous parm shredded on top before serving is just pizza magic. Parking is hard, I seen a car bipped when looking for parking. Best to be patient on park on Telegraph. The alleyways and small streets had people walking and looking inside cars.... But the pizza is worth the hassle read more

Love Temescal, Neighbourhood had this pizza for the first time. There is a separate line to order slices and pizza on the spot or you could order online and pick up in a different door. They had a little bit of seating outside, but no indoor sitting. The employees were super nice and helpful very attentive to the tables to make sure they were clean ready for the next guest. I got a slice of the buffalo chicken and my husband got a slice of the pepperoni. These slices were huge and very tasty. When you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by and grab a slice. A slice goes for about five dollars. read more

More of a take out spot as seating is maybe enough for 10 people total. That said the pizza was yummy!! I liked the stracciatella one a lot as well as the pesto. I would def go again. Service was friendly and they made the smaller pizzas pretty quick. read more

OMG this was the best pizza I have had in quite sometime. I definitely want to go back soon. The NY style had a great texture and slight char. The tomato sauce was so flavorful and not too sweet but just slightly. The more Detroit style slice had a great edge of crispy cheese. I liked it almost as much. Mmmmm read more

Wow, why haven't I tried this until now!? This is a solid pizza place. I would highly recommend this spot! This pizza is nice and crisp. The toppings are minimal but perfect! It's cool that the place is open late. They got outdoor and indoor seating. They do pizza by the slice and they make sure it's nice and toasty for you. The people are friendly and chill too! You can tell they put in the work! read more

Brought my old New Yorker friends, historian couple w high standards for food. And Pizza Ponte passed the test. They had the cheese. Which Andrea said was the real test of the joint, and it passed, they thought it was good! The service was good! The kind young man offered Andrea spicy ranch, she made a face walking out the door, and I explained - she's a New Yorker, the feller sitting outside heard & chimed in, "You want pineapple w/ that?!?" jokingly as he's also from NY! Haha read more

This place has an astonishingly legit array of NY-style slices. I somehow overlooked it for years, and boy do I regret it. The burrata slice! Even the straight cheese slice never fails to satisfy. Not much seating here so you may have to eat it on the run, but it is still worth it. read more

Pizza Ponte - Cheese slice and stracciatella slice - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

I generally like this place, but my recent negative experience was not a one off: Pizza gets a 5+ (when it's hot). Really outstanding. Service was pretty poor. I got a text that my pizza was ready, so I rushed over to pick it up and they said it wouldn't be ready for 10 minutes, which seemed odd. When I checked back, my pizza was cold and had clearly been sitting for 8 or 9 minutes. Guy seemed like he could not care any less. The total lack of concern was pretty off putting and motivated me to take the time to write a critical review (something I rarely do). read more

Great pizza, amazing and unique flavor. Problem was I ordered a couple of smaller size pizza thinking that was going to be enough. Boy was I mistaken. The kids inhaled them before i finished saying turning around. read more

These guys are pizza wizards. This is the best cheese slice I think I've ever had. It's up there with some of the best slices in NY. Wow, I was kinda blown away when I had my first bite. My expectations were high due to my brother hyping it up and it exceeded them. It checks all the boxes... the dough was straight magic and the sauce and cheese was exotic and erotic. I can't wait to go back. Only thing I can ask for is halal meat if they can look into that.... Hats off guys!!!! read more

Pizza Ponte - Pizza magic. Wizard level - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

This is our new favorite pizza spot in the east bay! Love that you can get different styles of pizza all at the same place. My favorites are the green goddess NY slice which has a delicious white sauce and lots of garlic. The pepperoni nonna is also delicious but super big and filling so great for sharing. The classic cheese was good but need some more flavor in my opinion (maybe some more sauce). I thought the d-town was too thick and bready so I'd stick to the classic slices and the nonna. If you're looking for a solid slice shop that has nice crispy crust, this is your place. Also get the spicy ranch, trust me. read more

They used to be my favorite pizza place in the neighborhood but now they changed their policies to force you to order pickup orders at the counter only. I cannot order by phone or by 3rd party or online for pickup anymore except a few of their basic pizzas. If you want to order the good pizzas, the ones they sell by the slice you have to dine in or physically walk to them and then wait outside. They took away all the convenience of having a nice slice in the neighborhood. Sure, they opened the dining room, but it is not a sit down restaurant. It's a pizza counter still. They even give you a buzzer now. I can see right through this decision as a way to try to force you to sit down and eat inside if you want their good pizza. They need to wake up and realize that this will make them lose business, as they have already lost mine. read more

Pizza Ponte is a true hidden gem in the East Bay! This is a fast casual spot, you can sit outside or take to go. The service is fast and the staff is very friendly. I got the Sicilian-style pepperoni w/ ricotta cheese and a slice of the green goddess and they were phenomenal. The pizza was perfectly cooked, crispy but not hard. 10/10 will be making this a regular spot. read more

What a delightful surprise finding this quaint pizza shop in Temescal. We shared 3 slices: Buffalo chicken, green goddess, and square slice with everything. The crust was perfection and both the chicken and green pesto slices were delicious. The pizza also came with a nice smoky sauce in a bottle. I thought that was a nice touch. read more

A hidden gem! Decided upon Pizza Ponte in the midst of a late night pizza craving, and it did not disappoint! I am a fan of NY style pizza as is, but I was blown away by the fluffy flavorful crust and mouth-watering presentation. I got a make-your-own pizza with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, and bell peppers, and topped with basil, stringy parmesan and tasty ranch dressing. Enjoyed this delicious mouthful on their cute outdoor seating area on a warm night. Great experience, and I am without a doubt making my way back to Pizza Ponte! read more

Forget Tony's, Golden Boy, and June's, this place is the real deal!! Unassuming small place in Oakland that's doing great New York and Detroit style pizza amazingly well! Pizza is ultra thin crust with absolutely no flop and has a little char underneath with great crunch! The fresh basil and shaved parmesan really made the pizza shine! Great service too. Will definitely be back! read more

When you see a line before doors open, you know it has to be good. Fantastic pizza. A mash-up of NY style with Californian flavors. And their Detroit style, while not really Detroit style with the cheese crust charred into the side of the edges to make it crispy. So, essentially, it's a really good pan pizza. The flavors and soft fluffy interior with a crispy shell. Very filling and did not disappoint. My favorite from them is the Green Goddess. Pesto, cheese, white sauce, and topped with fresh grated parmesan. Thin crust where you can fold it and crispy, The flavors are phenomenal, and you can tell they care about the quality of the ingredients. Limited outdoor seating. Great for kids. you can buy a whole pie or slices for about 6-8$ without add-ons I highly recommend. read more

What a great place for after 9PM quick bites as they have one of the best pizza by the slice in my opinion. There was a line but it move pretty quickly. I would take about 10 min for the hot from the oven slice to come out. Be sure you have another name if your name are already been used, it was funny when the waitress said pick a new name. It's just a hole in the wall fast food style, with some table outside and a small counter to eat inside. There is a fridge to grab dessert, salad and drink. Overall, I like both the Detroit style as well as the NY pie. The crust was crispy outside yet soft and airy inside. Saude was light, flavor full and the shaved parm was perfect addition. We had the buffalo chicken, pepperoni, green goddess and D town. All were equally good. We will try to order a made our own next time. The tiramisu was also excellent, creamy, not too sweet and perfect texture for the lady fingers. Needless to say we told our family and friends to come and try too. read more

***** 5 Stars Delicious I love the pizza Crispy crust Sauce is delicious I'm sure it's homemade it's so good Can't recommend enough read more

I ordered the Genoa Pesto (comes with pesto and ricotta) and added 2 extra toppings. I'm disabled so I had it delivered. The pizza came and it was just the 2 extra toppings without the pesto and ricotta. I called the store and they were nice enough to remake it for me, but it would have to be pickup. I needed to organize a ride because I'm disabled and as I was finally leaving they called me 15 minutes later and said "Um, can you come and pick up your pizza?!" What's the rush? Y'all weren't closing for an hour and a half. Why would you call your customer that YOU messed up on, when it's been maybe 17 minutes max and rush them? Terrible Customer service. Love the pizza though. So for that it's 3 stars. But whoever was working that night needs to be checked. read more

Pizza Ponte - Genoa Pesto with no pesto - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Big fan of thin crust pizzas if they're done well, and Pizza Ponte did not disappoint! They are located on a busy street so parking can be difficult, but not impossible. The shop is small with limited seating both indoors and outdoors. We ordered a slice of the pepperoni pizza and a slice of the buffalo chicken pizza, both were delicious! The pepperoni was crispy and paired really well with the ranch -- I especially love the basil that is on top. The buffalo ranch was also tasty, the buffalo was not too overpowering and was a really good balance. Service was quick, you order at the counter and they bring out the slices afterwards. read more

Oh my gosh it's so good. My newly discovered, favorite pizza spot. My boyfriend and I split the Detroit Bad Guy pizza (4 slices for $25 after tax) a couple days ago and it was bomb. The pepperoni cups are perfect. I thought it would be even better with some more basil and red pepper flakes, but we forgot to ask for some. I thought the dough was a tad bit too dense, could be fluffier, and the edges are tougher to chew but overall, I would still get it again, and I'd give it an 8/10. Today, they were offering a free pizza slice since I signed up for their rewards program last time! That's so nice~ I went to try a slice of their thin crust Genoa pesto which is normally between $5-6. After adding hot pepper flakes and a touch of my own hot honey, it was a PERFECT 10/10. Their crust is crispy, doesn't flop, and isn't burnt either. Their toppings are fresh and delicious. Just came back from New York and tried L'industrie, but I think Pizza Ponte is better! Can only order whole pizzas online but you can go in person to order by the slice. Street parking. Excited to try more flavors! read more

Excellent pizza and very nice guys. Top notch crust. One of the best slices in the Bay in my opinion. Cant wait to go back.

4.5 stars Some of the better pizza, specifically New York style, in the area. I prefer to stick with the classic pepperoni. The supreme/combo was good but not as good. Maybe a bit too much going on, maybe adds too much moisture and weight. Detroit style was pretty solid too. Worth trying if you don't usually read more

Have been here a few times now and it's a solid place to get a slice of pizza. Regular margarita is solid, great pepperoni or I have also had the Buffalo chicken and the grandma, all were solid. Small place, only a couple seats if you want to eat inside. Good price and value and worth a stop. Overall another solid Oakland pizza spot read more

Oh my God! I wanted to try this place for a while and I decided to pop in for a slice and I can't wait to come back. It was absolute perfection. The crust is somehow crunchy and airy at the same time. Toppings were perfect. 10/10. Reminds me of a really popular spot in New York City that has like a three hour wait. Super sweet young people working at the front. It was all around a great experience. read more

Finally got the opportunity to try a few selections from this hyped up slice shop, and it did not disappoint! They had about 10ish pies to choose from, so making a selection was not easy. I ultimately decided on Genova pesto and momma's pepperoni, so I could sample something simple, and also something square and saltier. Both were excellent in their own right, but I dug the texture of the pesto slice just a little bit more. Not a whole lote of seating, so not meant for a lengthy dining time, but there was enough seating for my wife and I to have quick lunch and enjoy a nice sunny weekend afternoon. And don't skip the house made ranch, an excellent pairing for their spicier offerings! read more

I'm still thinking about this pizza. Wishing i would've gotten a box of each . I came here previously with a group of friends but didn't get to get any slices so i made a point to come back and grab one but i ended up grabbing 2- Green goddess & Pepperoni! Green Goddess: Garlicky & full of flavor. You know how spinach sometimes leaves your teeth feeling squeaky? This didn't do that. The spinach was spread under all the toppings and definitely added to the texture aspect. The pizza was crisp at the bottom and that pesto and basil were a perfect herb mixture. Pepperoni: perfect! Salty, peppery. You can never go wrong with a slice pepperoni especially a NY style slice that's just perfectly crispy ugh! Loved this! The ranch they had tasted like ranch and ceaser mixed together which added to the flavor profile of the slices. When i come back I'll definitely grab at least one nona slice because those others were tasty! read more

Traveled from Lake Merritt to Pizza Ponte because we heard good things about it and boy did it NOT disappoint. Some of the best I've had. Crispy crust, delicious sauce, perfect amount of cheese & mushrooms all wrapped up in one delicious pie. Pizza Ponte is a tiny place that serves a pie that hits the spot big time. Very satisfying. We will most definitely add this high on the list of our Friday night pizza rotation. You will not be disappointed with the pies coming out of the oven at Pizza Ponte. read more
