Date: 3/1/2025 Time: 1:25 PM 58° Cool I am actually at The Pizzeria Violetta in the Prescott Market Hall in West Oakland. Currently they are a pop up kitchen; however, they will have a brick and mortar set up in the future. I am hungry and undecided as to what I want to order. After perusing the menu, I selected the jumbo chicken wings (1/2 dozen) and an Italian sub sandwich. Total cost: approximately. $34 (tax and tip included). The chicken wings were tossed with a hot honey butter sauce and served with a bleu cheese dipping sauce. I am not a bleu cheese fan. Nix it on that dipping sauce. The wings were freshly prepared, delicious, crispy, flavorful and moist. My brother and I enjoyed them. I could only eat half of the sandwich. It was loaded with an assortment of meats, lettuce, sliced tomato, cheese, etc. Freshly prepared, the sandwich was on point. Prescott Market Hall is not near my home. A future visit will be at the brick and mortar on Piedmont Avenue. The line was long for people ordering food, but the employees move things along smoothly. They certainly did an awesome job and with much pleasantness.

Lunch special. Sweet Little Pig Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza
Nicole J.

The lunch special was a great value. Two slices and a drink for $12! The burrata toast was delish!!! Also loved the mint ginger lemonade. The service was great. Food was ready quickly. They text you when your food is ready so you can walk around and explore while waiting for your food. Sit anywhere you'd like in the market or outside.

Pizzeria Violetta is one of my sister and brother-in-law's favorite pizza places in Oakland. They introduced my wife and me to this place. My BIL likes to get pizza by the slice here. This is a locally-owned pizzeria. First, I have to mention that the pictures of the pizzas I saw online looked exactly like what we picked up in person. We got two whole pizzas. They were pretty big at 18 inches each. We had the following: * Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza ($35) - pickled onions, roasted peppers, garlic puree, mint-marinated feta cheese, mozzarella * Sweet Little Pig Pizza ($35) - brown sugar candied bacon, artisan pepperoni, fresh basil, cheese blend, organic housemade tomato sauce. My sister was quite excited about the Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza because it was a seasonal special and we were able to get one before the store sold out. Both pizzas were delicious. They were well made with high-quality ingredients, even topping distribution (with lots of toppings), and super-tasty crusts that were charred just right. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. And the pizzas were filling too. These were among the best pizzas my wife and I have had in the Bay Area. She liked the pizzas so much that she said she wished there was a Pizzeria Violetta back home in Atlanta. On the Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza, the pieces of sausage were savory and gratifying -- they really stood out. I loved the pizza's garlicky flavor. The Sweet Little Pig Pizza was like a classic pizza, but amped up in terms of flavor and satisfaction. It was really good. We also got some condiments to go like Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and chili oil. In addition to creative pizzas, Pizzeria Violetta sells Fiorello's artisan gelato from nearby San Rafael as well as a unique variety of beer, wine, and sake. This business replaced another pizza joint, Slicer, in June 2021. The restaurant is located near the north end of Piedmont Avenue. The space is small and clean with limited indoor seating only. There's a six-top in the center and about a dozen counter-height seats along the storefront and wall. I think most customers get takeout. The folks behind this place named it after their daughter, Violet. Check out Pizzeria Violetta on Instagram at @pizzeria.violetta. https://www.instagram.com/pizzeria.violetta

I've been here three times and absolutely loved it! I love that they have gluten-free pizzas and that we don't have to pay an extra $2-5 bucks for the privilege. And the pizza is good. I like their weekly flavors too. The salads are huge and there's enough to share. They are also quite popular, because every time I go, the salad counter is running a little low. I also see that in the app sometimes. I prefer to go inside and see what salads they have. I also like the compostable bowl and lid. Nice touch! I now know how to order gluten-free online so that will make ordering easy. When I go in there, the people behind the counter are very nice and accommodating. I've been lucky enough to find parking whenever I've gone within a few steps and I feel lucky. This is a spot that I try to go to every time I am in the area, which isn't often. They also have decent hours which I appreciate. Some of the places I like to go to in areas like this can close a little early for my taste. Cheeseboard, Arizmendi - put this place is open til 9 and that works for me.

Pepperoni Pizza slice
Sara L.

In between errands a couple weekends ago, I strolled over to this pizza joint for a slice. It was the perfect little lunch on a brisk day! Upon walking up to the counter, the staff member was friendly and patient while I looked over the menu for a bit. Reasonably priced, that slice of pepperoni was tasty and big enough to tide me over 'til dinner. This is a good addition to the Avenue.

I finally got to dropping by after having this on my visit list for a while. I started with a plain cheese slice, still looking for my West Coast sub for Joe's on Carmine St. in Manhattan. I noticed it was a bit thicker than a Joe's slice. It also had less tomato sauce, and the crust didn't crack on the fold. It was still tasty and satisfying. I ordered two more different slices. One was the Sweet Little Pig, a porky combo of pepperoni and bacon. This had more tomato sauce than the plain cheese, which gave it a sweet and tangy taste. The chunks of bacon were hearty and flavorful but over-powered the thin slices of pepperoni. My last slice was the Sausage and Roasted Garlic. I noticed immediately its intoxicating sausage aroma. This was balanced with a potent scent of roasted garlic puree without the pungence of the more common topping of minced garlic. It was fabulous, eliciting its entry in my brain bank as the best sausage slice on file. I do wish they offered glasses of wine or beer. It's either a full bottle or small cans of wine and assorted bottled beer. I tried the can of rose. It was actually from a vineyard in Napa Valley, its legacy origin and crisp body both a surprise and non-surprise. As for dining in, there was just one big table in the center of the shop. Wooden ledges were also fastened against the walls with stools underneath for quick bites of slice before heading home or back to work. The guy manning the register was very friendly and accommodating. Parking on a Sunday night after 7pm was actually plentiful. I may not have found Joe's West. But I did find a great little slice shop with its own delicious character.

Decent little neighborhood pizza joint. Slice deal was 2 plus a beverage for $12 or whole specialty pies for $35/each. We got the little sweet porker which had pepperoni and candied bacon. We waited and ate it in the pizzeria yet it oddly arrived not very hot just like warm despite waiting 10-15 minutes for what was supposed to have been a hot and fresh pie ?! Unclear what the deal was it should have been piping hot since it was presumably fresh and out of the oven. I wonder if it wasn't. Thus my minus one star. It was good but I was somehow expecting more crunch to the crust and flavor to the sauce. It looked better than it ate. Still searching the local area for a top pie. Not sure this one was it for the price point.

Sausage Pizza
Chad M.

Middle of the road pizza. Sauce was very plain, crust imo didn't have much flavor. Cheese had a lot of flavor. Definitely no threat to the king Pizza Ponte or the slice prince Mamas Boy.

I've been here a few times now and I think it's a really nice pit spot worth checking out. They offer pizza by the slice which is always a plus! I'd like to see more options but I've only tried the sausage pizza. I like that their sausage is not overly salty like most sausages, It's light and sweet which is so different. I do wish their slices were bigger. They also have tables and counter spaces you can eat at. I enjoy coming here and bringing my food to the tiki bar down the street.

Hardly any peppers hardly any sausage.  Not so spicy.
Shardul S.

Usually 5 star. Tonight ordered a hot spicy - hardly any calabrian peppers...Basically a pepperoni pizza. Hardly any sausage. Go on a night when they are not busy. 6 stars! Friday night 2 stars.

Outstanding Service! All the beverage consultants directed me to the choice spirits and…read morerefreshments needed for the weekend cook-out. Thanks BevMo Emeryville!

And I'm done with Bevmo…read more Was in here today, August 14, 2025. Looking at some beers. Hoping there would be a possibility I might find something fresh. Nope. Every beer I looked at had old brew dates - the freshest being January 2025. Again, we're in August of 2025. I took a picture of one Fort Point beer - March of 2024 (see my screenshot). This is not remotely acceptable. And that does it for me and Bevmo. There are lots of options out there to get good beer - you'd think Bevmo would stop selling this super old stuff - but they won't. It appears all Bevmos sell old beer. Count me out. That's the last time I ever step foot in a Bevmo. Also note - people do not need to be greeted when they walk in. For the life of me I do not understand why Bevmo thinks people like this. The person stops what they're doing a the register to yell "Welcome, hello!" to everyone who walks in. This isn't Blockbuster. It's a liquor store. Let people walk in and mind their own business without being accosted when they walk in (and walk out - "Bye, have a great day!"). And bye to you, Bevmo. (and note, the "Customer service" bot will respond with the stock response "we're sorry to hear about your service, please email us at blah blah blah..." And what happens when you email them? Nothing, outside getting put on a spam list. Avoid this dump) update edit: And the customer service bot responded exactly like I said. How is this place even still open?

A cozy but spacious cute spot perfect for all occasions. There's some outside seating too with fire…read moreplaces. Inside there's the actual bar area that's low lit and more intimate and a bigger seating area with huge TV screens. Cocktails were good. We went with the Spicy Lil Burro which was a spicy margarita with honey and lime. The Nikkei Margarita which was a tamarind margarita was also solid. Started with the Brussels Sprouts which had the perfect glaze and the almonds added an extra crunch to them. The Fish-N-Chips were fresh and perfectly battered. Fries golden crispy. The Yard Birds was the winner of the night. Succulent and juicy inside but crunchy on the outside. Great portion of chicken. The biscuit was fluffy and paired well with the hot honey and chicken. The Mac salad was okay. It had a little flavor out of the ordinary that didn't taste great. Service was good and attentive. Parking can be difficult and limited as they share a parking lot with a cannabis shop and the security is strict. There is some street parking around

Came here for a light bite / happy hour before my flight and experienced the worst service ever…read more This place is across from a dispensary and offers ample parking. The inside has a nice modern look and there is a lounge to the side open for happy hour. We sat in there which has its own bar. It is very cozy. My husband ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered the French Onion soup with a bacon grilled cheese. Our waiter started off well but when he came to get our orders he didn't write anything down and I had to repeat myself twice. The first time he was facing my husband, the second he came to my side and I pointed at the menu while slowly repeating my order. I simply wanted a grilled cheese with bacon added no avocado as it is advertised as an add on, on the menu. As he walked away a part of me knew my order was going to be messed up. Low and behold my soup arrives with a side of bacon. I then explained again what I ordered. A few moments pass and he comes back and then my husband explains what I wanted. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier but it just didn't seem to register. I truly did not think asking for soup & bacon grilled cheese would be so difficult. By this time my husband had already received his salad which was delicious. Finally, he comes back with my soup, a grilled cheese and the bacon ON THE SIDE. If I ordered a bacon grilled cheese why would you give me like this? Why not make my grilled cheese and add the bacon inside? To make matters worse the French onion soup was so bland not even salt could save it. It tasted like a nothingness broth. The grilled cheese was better once I made it myself. The waiter never came back to check on us. The manager hovered by for a while but we had to even flag him down for the check. I left hungry and got a meal at the airport. Would not recommend. If you can't remember an order as a waiter please just write it down.
