    Detroit style Looks amazing !
    Cindy W.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Had a great time at dinner after wanting to try this spot for awhile. Tried both a pasta and pizza, the rigatoni was excellent! I honestly liked this more than the pizza. The pizza wasn't bad, it would have nice with a bit more sauce. But still delicious! Our server was incredibly nice and walked us through the menu to help us decide what to get. The desserts were also both amazing! The restaurant is very cozy and they also have a nice upstairs section. I would come back again!

    Recently went here not to long ago and wow this place was amazing. Loved the whole vibe inside and the place looks super cool to be inside. Our service was amazing and the food was incredibly good. 10/10 on the pizza and the salad. The pizza was amazing and I really liked how there was so many options of style of pizza to get. Definitely worth trying out

    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!

    Meat slice and veggie slice

    Amazing service -- our waiter was warm, attentive and knowledgeable. Incredible broccolini and aranciata, absolutely smashing. We had pizza slices that were huge and filling. I wish they had more creative vegetarian options though. The chef is brilliant so I'd love to see some of that skill applied to veggie dishes!

    We popped in on a whim and loved the Art Deco vibe right away. The service was efficient and friendly -- staff actually recommended things off the menu, which made choosing easy. We shared the rectangular "Ray J" style pizza (square-cut, melty mozzarella, olives, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach) and it was perfectly browned at the edges with a great balance of toppings. The broccolini with white beans and a spoonful of chili crisp was a standout -- bright, garlicky, with a nice spicy kick. Bathroom down in the basement felt odd at first, but it was roomy and clean. We only had water and skipped dessert (trying to be good), but we're already plotting our next visit and which pie to try next. Two thumbs up from both of us -- would definitely go again.

    Employee appreciation week! One of our guys recommended this pizzaria for our employee appreciation week! We were sort of skeptical but man, he delivered! The place is pretty big for a pizza place with sitting both indoor and outdoor! However, we decided to order takeout pizzas! We didn't have a favorite but all were good specially the meat lovers one. We will definitely order takeout again in the future. Lastly, on the wing of the restaurant they have a little area where you can order by the slice! A really great option to have! Definitely stop by when you're in downtown Berkeley in the Shattuck area! I know we will!

    As a huge pizza fan, I'll admit I'm very picky when it comes to pizza. For me, a great pizza has to get three things right: the crust, the cheese, and the sauce. Pizzeria da Laura nails all three. I love that they offer different crust options, my personal favorite is the thick, Detroit-style crust. The Grandma style came in a close second, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. The sauce has just the right balance of tang and sweetness, the cheese is top quality, and every bite feels perfectly crafted. They also have a great selection of beer, cocktails, and wine to pair with your meal. And the fact that it's set in a beautiful historic building just adds to the charm, the whole place has such a wonderful, inviting vibe. If you love pizza (and care about the details), this place will make you very happy.

    They accommodated a party of 20 on a Sunday night. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. They have many options. Vegan options too. Will definitely be returning.

    San Francisco has great places to eat pizza. There is a pizza parlor for each neighborhood. Having…read moretried the majority of the pizza spots in San Francisco I decided to go to Berkeley. The city of Berkeley has brought good pizza recently to San Francisco like Rose Pizzeria. Going to Berkeley I have experienced great pizza places which are not located in SF. Berkeley has some great pizza places such as the Cheeseboard , Pizzeria da Laura and for the best Chicago style pizza at Zachary's Pizza ( actual fresher ingredients than most of Chicago )which both have no locations in SF. There a different pizza spot in Berkeley which serves fresh pizza with local ingredients and there is no spot in SF and it's called Sliver pizza. On a Summer day stroll in the sun in Berkeley I landed at the Telegraph Avenue. Inside there are plenty of seating and they do not accept cash. I ordered their POD also known as Pizza Of the Day. It had the Mushroom, red onions, green scallions , and it had a lemon zest which was sour like some in SF. It was a little cheesy and the sourdough crust was soft. It was tasty and you can taste the field to table ingredients in the pizza. They also have interesting pizza like the Cherry Corn Pizza like I saw on my social media feed. When in Berkeley you must try Sliver Pizzeria. Go to Berkeley for this is a "must" because they have a sourdough "crust" is a "plus" it's not too cheesy and very delicious and leaves some pizza places in SF in the "dust" This pizza place is to eat inside , pick up, and they do "deliver" I rate it more on gold standard side than "silver" fresh ingredients from the "Salinas River" at a pizza place in Berkeley on Telegraph called "Sliver"

    Amazing pizza, great location, lots of interior space, slight sus bathroom…read more.. Food: Sliver is probably one of my favorite pizza shops in the bay, maybe in general. 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!

We didn't mind waiting -- new systems take time to learn. What bothered me more was the execution. We ordered identical meals -- same pasta, same salad, and a margherita pizza to share. When the food came out, my friend's pasta had mushrooms while mine didn't. After trying his, mine tasted completely bland. Then the pizza arrived and it wasn't margherita -- just plain cheese pizza that didn't taste very good. It was a slow time of day with only a few tables, so it wasn't a chaotic rush. I didn't want to hold up our plans by sending things back, but the mistakes stayed with me. The pasta had potential, and I'd still give them another chance, but they really need to focus on listening to the customer and getting the orders right.
