    Vegan Cesar salad
    Ibis R.

    We came here because they have their own full vegan menu. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away anyways. We ordered the larger vegan NY pepperoni pizza (we added mushrooms) and a vegan Caesar salad. I have to say, this was one of the best vegan pizzas I've ever had. The Caesar salad was a great size for two people and the dressing was more of a dip, which was delicious! I like how they also have Italian sodas. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the service was really great too! Overall, I would most definitely return to this place next time I'm back in Berkeley!

    I've been wanting to try this place out for forever and it finally happened! Safe to say this is the best pizza I've ever had in Berkeley. We were a party of three and definitely over ordered- the Sicilian style Ray J, Truly thin and crispy, and arancini, but zero regrets. The Truly thin and crispy really reminded me of the Ciccino at Truly Pizza in Dana Point, which is my favorite pizza spot in the world! As the name suggests, it's very thin and crispy and I loved the texture. Great as an appetizer pizza lol. Thick square focaccia style pizza is definitely my preference, which is why the Ray J Sicilian was my favorite here. The toppings are generous, love the large chunks of cheese and the hot honey on this one. The arancini we got was also amazing, it had a slight lemony tang to it and some veggies inside which balanced out all the fried cheesiness in it. Would super recommend Pizzeria da Laura, and come in a large party if you can! I think my only downside is the bathroom situation as you have to take a key to take the elevator downstairs and it was hard to get a hold of the key, but maybe try to come at a less busy time. That reminds me, for sure make a reservation for weekends! Super easy to do on their website. Service by everyone was very kind and they were helpful explaining the difference between all their pizzas.

    Detroit style Looks amazing !

    When I have the opportunity to explore an area I'm not familiar with, naturally I do a food search. In this case, a Sunday evening in Berkeley where a majority of businesses close earlier, pizza was a good option. I decided between the top two recommendations, I went with the award winning chef and pizza at Pizzeria da Laura. I ordered the Regina, and added sausage. The 18" was a generously sized pie, with an abundance of toppings and at a few dollars over $40 was well worth it. Great crust is a must for pizza and the entire pie was delicious. The staff were nice and the location is both attractive and convenient. Next time I plan to get that enticing looking Detroit deep dish.

    My friend and I tried to get into Rose Pizzeria for dinner, but they had too long of a wait, so we ended up here instead, but it wasn't at all a letdown. We were greeted by the friendliest server (a tall guy with curly hair whose name I unfortunately didn't get but shout-out to him) who asked us if we had any questions about the menu. My friend and I had already glanced at the menu when we checked in with the host, so we pretty much knew what we wanted. I did ask our server about crust options though and ended up going with the New York style because I didn't have the stomach capacity for the slightly thicker options like Detroit but perhaps next time with a bigger group! We ordered The Standard, which seemed like a good choice because of the diverse, balanced toppings, and the chicories & beets salad. The salad arrived quickly, and the pizza was brought to our table soon after. I liked how refreshing and crisp the salad was, but the pizza was really what I wanted. It was everything I wanted in a pizza - definitely the best choice of the lineup imo. The crust was so soft and pillowy I couldn't resist devouring it all and leaving no trace. I'm very much a crust gal. Glad the plan to hit up Rose Pizzeria didn't work out so that we could discover this gem. With the various styles of pizza options available, there's sure to be something from the menu for everyone here!

    Sicilian style Ray J
    Janice B.

    Well-crafted pizzas with a choice of 4 different styles. My friend and I have spent the last few decades trying out different pizza places across the Bay Area, and Pizzeria da Laura did not disappoint! We tried a Sicilian style pizza that was super delicious - the crust was thick and fluffy and aromatic, with a perfectly light crunchy bite - no soggy bottoms here, folks! It almost doesn't matter which flavor, but we had the Ray J which was a delightful blend of sweet and savory. In contrast, we also tried a seasonal vegan pizza prepared in the thinner-than-Sicilian Grandma style - this was also delicious and the crust was satisfyingly crunchy. We appreciated the quality ingredients and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The arancini balls were pretty good but the stars were the pizzas. Service was efficient, helpful, and friendly - Laura herself was on hand to make recommendations and answer all our questions. The space had a nice vibe and was clean and comfortable. Parking wasn't too bad - found a spot two blocks away. Will return to try more pizzas, as well as a pasta dish. If you're ever in the area, I do recommend that you check it out. This pizzeria has been around for 3 years and we want it to stick around for a long long time.

    Ray J Sicilian
    Samantha C.

    Tried the Ray J Sicilian pie with a friend and the crust was outstanding--light n airy, crispy, tender, moist. We thought the tomato sauce could have had more flavor and that there was more of it. The toppings were fresh and tasty although the I didn't get any garlic from the garlic fermented honey. Service was average. Would definitely come back here to try the other flavors and pizza styles.

    A really solid pizza place, definitely one of the best Sicilian pizzas I've ever had in the Bay area. The service was fast and the ambiance seemed really nice but we took it to go. I definitely want to come back and try the pesto pizza, but the red sauce was really good! 4.25/5

    Margarita

    Reminds me of a crispy garlic cheese bread (but it's Detroit pizza so that's to be expected). The arugula adds a lot of flavor to the pizza--I think that a pizza with a lot of variety is good due to the fact that the pizza itself is dense. Pizza is made on the spot so we waited about 15-20 minutes for our pizza to come. Would say it's pretty solid overall. Really cute place, just get a pizza that has more toppings than you think. Don't get the one with hot honey on it lowkey, there are better choices.

    My favorite salad of the day. Fresh, crisp, and a perfect start to the meal.

    I've been looking forward to visiting Pizzeria da Laura ever since I heard about Chef Laura Meyer's success in world pizza competitions. It definitely lived up to the hype. The location is excellent. It's within walking distance of UC Berkeley, just a minute from Downtown Berkeley BART, and there's a public parking garage a block away. Another nice touch is the market next door. They sell pizza by the slice, snacks, and drinks. I would've been there 100% during my college days. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and inviting. You can watch the pizzas being made, and there's also a TV if you want to catch a game while you eat. It had a relaxed neighborhood feel that made us want to stay a little longer. Having delivered for Round Table back in the '90s, I have an appreciation for the flow of a pizza operation. Everything felt organized and efficient. We started with the Chicories & Beets salad. It was fresh, crisp, and a perfect way to start the meal. We ordered the 18" NY Ray J and Detroit The Standard. Detroit The Standard was my favorite. The crispy, caramelized cheese edges were incredible, while the inside stayed light and airy. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked, not soggy at all. Every topping tasted fresh, and the balance of pepperoni, sausage, onions, olives, and sauce was spot on. The NY Ray J was just as impressive. The crust had the perfect balance of crispiness and chew, making it easy to fold. The combination of thin and thick pepperoni, creamy burrata, fresh basil, fermented honey, and Parmigiano Reggiano was outstanding. Every slice came with a great cheese pull. Both pizzas had crispy crusts, fresh toppings, quality ingredients, and just the right amount of sauce. We left feeling satisfied, not heavy or bloated. We visited on a Wednesday, and by dinner time the restaurant was full. That's always a good sign. One of the highlights of the visit was chatting with Chef Laura about dough, ingredients, and technique. It gave me an even greater appreciation for the attention to detail that goes into every pizza, and I picked up a few ideas that will definitely improve my homemade pizza game. I'm actually eating the leftovers as I write this review. They reheat beautifully. The crust stays crispy, the toppings still taste fresh, and they're just as satisfying the next day. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Whether you're a Berkeley local or just passing through, Pizzeria da Laura is absolutely worth the trip.

    The Standard, no olives, no onion. Grandma style.
    Sandi S.

    The pizza we had was delicious. From the flavorful and fresh tomato sauce to the crust that was the perfect balance of soft bite to crunchy crust. The standard - grandma style. Cute date night spot, would recommend, on a Sunday during the World Series game, it wasn't very busy and the service was friendly and fast.

    First time at Pizzeria da Laura and glad to finally give it a try. The wait for 4 people at 5 pm on a Saturday was quick with no reservations. We all enjoyed the chicories and beets salad. Very refreshing. The Marge pizza was good. Their take on the classic margherita. The dough and crust was super tasty. Everyone liked the Ray J Sicilian version. 12 slices. The dough was pillowy and fluffy with crisp crust. Enjoyed the garlic fermented honey. By 6:30, the entire restaurant was filling up. Some notes that could improve, serving cold water with ice for the warm Berkeley days like today. Adding more servers so the one server is not as busy. We got a box for few leftover slices but instead of giving the check he walked away to take another table's order. We had to flag him down again for check and never received copy of receipt due to being busy with other tables. Indoor/outdoor seating Street parking only

    Peperoncino (V) (spicy)
    Jay P.

    Pizzeria da Laura in Berkeley is a fantastic spot for Italian food right in the heart of downtown, just steps from the university. The location gives it a lively downtown vibe with lots of energy from the surrounding area and nearby students. The reservation and check-in process was very smooth. The staff were incredibly courteous, welcoming, and helpful throughout the visit. I actually arrived about 30 minutes earlier than my reservation time, and they were kind enough to seat us early, which was a really nice touch. One thing I really like about this place is that they update their dishes a few times a year, so every visit can feel a little different and exciting. The menu has great variety, especially when it comes to pizza styles as you can choose from New York, Sicilian, Detroit, and Grandma-style pizzas, and the pricing is very straightforward for all the sizes they serve. The pizza was perfectly cooked and tasted great. They also allow you to customize your pizza by adding or removing ingredients, which makes it very convenient for everyone to choose based on their liking. And they add toppings with open-heart. The pasta was also excellent. We ordered the Peperoncino pasta, and it tasted amazing. The garlic flavor and breadcrumbs were really the highlight and brought out the authentic character of the spaghetti. Another big plus is that they have plenty of vegetarian options, making it easy for different dietary preferences. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for what they serve. Food arrived quickly, and the service from the servers and staff was great throughout the visit. The restaurant also has plenty of space and handles reservations well. The atmosphere is lively with lots of people around and students from the nearby university, which adds to the downtown Berkeley energy. A little more upbeat music could add even more charm to the place. Overall, this is a place I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Berkeley. It's the kind of restaurant I'd happily come back to again and again.

    Ray J ( grandma style)
    Jennifer L.

    One of the best pizza places in the Bay Area! Love that you are able to customize and choose what style of pizza you prefer. There's Ny style which is the classic pizza slice that's thinner. Or the grandma style which is thicker than ny and thinner than a Sicilian slice ( this is my perfect choice ). Sicilian is thicker than grandma style and is more thick. And the thickest of all is the Detroit style! I got the ray j grandma style! I came here with my boyfriend's family and the next week we came back with more family! Everyone loved the ray j! It was creamy from the burrata, sweet from the honey and sooo good with the little pepperonis! Personally one of my favs and my boyfriend's family's favorite! I've converted them all to eating here !!! We also got the standard grandma style and pepperoni NY style but everyone's fav is the RAY J!! We even got another pizza at the end bc 3 wasn't enough!! We reserved a table this time bc we had more than 6 people but last time we walked in and was seated right away! Everyone is super friendly and will explain all the styles of pizza! Couldn't even get a decent picture of the ray j bc it was THAT GOOD!

The place used to be known for their vegetarian pizza when my friends went to school in Berkeley. Serivce was great! There were only 2 people working today when we got there and pizza came out pretty fast. They were accommodating with us also which we really appreciated. 5/5: because of the service. The pizza is pretty pricey. It came out to little over $40 with tips. The space is huge.

I went last week and they had a summer corn pizza that was loaded with juicy kernels of corn, fresh tomatoes and peppers, plus a ton of parsley for garnish. I am a corn fan so I knew I'd like this flavor. And I wasn't disappointed. Sauce: Sliver could even be more well known for its sauces. You have to try the green sauce! Perfect blend of savoriness, freshness, and a kick of heat! Location: right off the Berkeley BART station, This shop is super easy to transit to whether you're taking bus or the bart. Lots parking nearby too. Bathroom: maybe I just went too early in the day before the employees had time to clean up the bathroom, but it had no toilet paper, no seat covers, no paper towels, and the hand soap was simply in a cup that you had to dip your fingers into... kinda sus? Overall I'll definitely be going back because sliver become so popular because of their incredible pizzas and not their bathrooms!
