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

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately the sauce is way too sweet which kind of ruins the whole slice. Junes and Mamas boy way better.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The pizza is delicious. The service needs adjusting. We ordered online 6:05 pick up. We arrived at 6:05 and the guy behind the counter says the order just came in, it's going to be another 15-20 minutes. He says wait outside (little tables out front, no seating inside) when it's ready I'll bring it out to you. We wait. Lots of other customers waiting/receiving their orders. About ten minutes later the guy behind the counter comes outside with a large tray of pizza, sits down at a table with friends and begins to eat. We go inside to inquire about our order and the girl behind the counter says it's been sitting here waiting for you. When we told her what had already transpired she apologized and said she'd talk to the first guy. Everyone makes mistakes but this felt like a series of fumbles. So while the pizza was delicious, everything else sucked. read more

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

This is one of my fav places for pizza takeout! The slices are generous and decently priced. My favorite are the bbq chicken and the stracciatella slices. Love the parmesan they shave on top. Service is always fast, and the workers are friendly. read more

Pizza Ponte - Cheese pizza ($36) 20 inch; Oct 2025 - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

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

There's so many rave reviews of this place that even though I rarely eat pizza I had to go try it out. As A New Yorker who just can't understand Californicated pizza I was ready to be disappointed. Rarely eating pizza is gonna be a thing of the past. Pizza Ponte is beyond New York style, just the best pizza I've ever had. I ordered 2 slices, one for there one to go. Are them both on the spot. One green goddess slice, aptly named, completely divine, plus a slice with excellent pepperoni. The crust is untainted by California sourdough, very thin and perfectly crisp. And their housemade garlic ranch dressing sounds like an odd addition but is delicious drizzled over the top. 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

I can only judge this based on one take out experience, but it was super solid. Great New York style pizza. The large size was very big with 8 large slices, I was hungry and ate two slices and was then stuffed. We got the Genoa Pesto pizza, both the marinara and pesto were very flavorful and the different cheeses and addition of fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan at the end were great touches. We'll have to come back to try the other pizza toppings! read more

Was searching around for some pizza in the area and decided to try Pizza Ponte. I ordered the Nonna Pepperoni and the regular Pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious! Crispy, flavorful and affordable. I am now wishing they were closer to San Jose! Customer service was also superb! A lovely cashier named Arianna helped us out! Halloween lovers stand up! She was kind, funny and personable. She put us onto a special sauce (kind of tastes like a sort of blackened ranch). We're gonna miss her once we finish our pizza slices. Arianna's manager, if you're reading this, please give this girl a raise! read more

Given that Berkeley/Oakland is the pizza capital of California, I'm not necessarily surprised that I found a pizza place in this area that is worthy of five stars. However, I am certainly surprised that I've found a place that could give Cheeseboard a run for its money. I came across this place when I was looking for pizzerias during Oakland Restaurant Week. Upon searching on Google, I immediately saw the plethora of stellar reviews both in the news and on Yelp that this place received and knew I had to come here immediately. It is very rare that a pizza place checks nearly every box on my list of what immediately impresses me about a pizzeria upon first walking in: 1) different styles of pizza (grandma and thin-slice) 2) types of pizza that you can't get elsewhere (Green Goddess and Buffalo Chicken), 3) pizza offered by the slice, and 4) open late. If each of these qualities give this place a star, then the final fifth star is for the fact that the pizzas tasted AMAZING! I ordered the Augustus (the Restaurant Week special), the Buffalo Chicken, the Green Goddess, the Nonna pepperoni (grandma style), and Bad Guy (grandma style). I wolfed them down so fast as they were all DELICIOUS! I live in Mountain View and don't come up to Oakland super often but much like Cheeseboard, this pizzeria is definitely a place that I would be willing to make the drive. I Highly, HIGHLY recommend if you are a pizza lover! read more

We ate here everyday for three weeks straight. Really crispy, thin crust with quality ingredients. My Italian best friend gives it a thumb's up. Bubbly crust with the right amount of burn to it, delicious green sauce, top tier cheese, and fresh basil. The staff is always kind and cordial. Service is prompt and pizza is always piping hot. Highly recommend this pizza place! One of the best in the East Bay! read more

Being married to a Jersey boy who is a pizza snob when it comes to those who proclaim to be NY style, we are pleased to confirm that Pizza Ponte hits the mark! Their Sicilian style pizza is especially light and crispy with a nice sauce to complement every bite. I had the vegan which was delicious and the perfect crispiness and foldability. Foldability is very important in the scoring by our family. We don't use forks and knives in this house! Our last slice of pie was the classic cheese which was tasty. The sauce here has a nice zing to it. Did I mention dessert? The tiramisu is delicious! I have been trying to make it myself and haven't hit the mark yet. Here, the tiramisu cream/custard is so light and the coffee flavor is perfect. I can't wait to get another piece because it's that good. Parking can be a challenge, especially on a weekend evening. The area has lots of cool restaurants as this part of Oakland is vibing. Come check out Pizza Ponte and support this local business! read more

What an unexpected surprise! My partner had a yelp event here so I joined her and I am so happy I did! It's a small pizza shop with limited indoor seated but plenty covered seating outside. They have a display case of extremely delicious and large pizzas. I am generally not a fan of pesto - but they had a couple pizzas with that ingredient, but what sold me were the massive dollops of the ricotta cheese! We ended up getting - Pepperoni pizza (NY style) - Genoa Pesto - my favorite! So delicious (NY style) - Bad Guy (deep dish) All very good and I will 100% be returning so more slices read more

The best pizza we have found in the Bay Area. Fresh parm on top, fresh basil and a delicious spicy ranch!!

What a wonderful option in Temescal! I will start my review saying that it seems very hard to make a wrong decision here - everything I tried was delicious. They offer both "NY style" thin slices and Sicilian style squares. The crust goes through a 56-hour fermentation process and the end result is a beautifully crisp exterior with a light fluffy interior. I tried two thin slices: Buffalo Chicken and Green Goddess. I also tried Nonna's Pepperoni, a Sicilian style slice. All three were delicious, circling back to my theory of there being no wrong choice here. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, I'd choose this over the nearby chains any day. They have vegetarian/vegan options, and they also have beef pepperoni. Kudos for both. The customer service here is great, I cant wait to return and try more of the menu.You can order online via their website or call ahead if you're pressed for time. read more

Arrived when they were first open but they were running behind since they had a big order for the day. They ended up taking my number down and called me when they were done. About 30 mins. Pepperoni pizza 10/10 Green goddess 10/10 I really enjoyed the pesto and the kids loved their pepperoni. Plenty of pepperoni on the slices. Great dough and sauce! I took away a star bc 10 piece wings were $20! And the wings were fairly small. The flavor was just okay. Staff is great! Nice and friendly. Parking is tricky on a busy street. I would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Came in for a Yelp Elite Event and decided to order some wing to go with the pizzas. Ordered over the phone, when I got there waited about 5 mins. 10 Wings, 5 Lemon Pepper & 5 Buffalo, they perfectly seasoned and juicy inside. One of the best I had, I would rank them in my top 5s. The pizzas are very good too, if you like New York Style thin crust like me. Nice and clean inside with some cool photos on the wall. read more

I had a fam with kids coming over for a summer dinner hang, so I ordered delivery via Uber eats as they were running a special and I was satisfied. It's definitely not a bougie style pizza, but the small size was kid friendly, sauce was mild, and toppings were a plenty. Bonus points: they had baked eggplant as a topping! Not many places offer this and if they do, it's usually deep fried. I love me some roasted eggplant on pizza. Overall, an affordable pizza spot serving up solid 'za that I'll add to the rotation when I have a bunch of kiddos I need to feed. read more

Pizza Ponte has been in its location for several years and never looked tasty so we never tried it. Recently there was a Chron article about how the owners studied all the best pizza and improved their offerings so we decided to try. Welp, it was disgusting. Just as inedible as it had looked all those years. Crust, meh. Red sauce, meh. Served with ranch (who serves pizza with ranch--soooo low brow?). We got a margherita and Alexandria. They were both terrible. The Alexandria was supposed to have eggplant, but it was garlic-garlic-garlic and some feta/olive. They shave some "Parmesan" on top, but there's no way that stuff is real. It tastes like plastic. read more
