This review is for the gluten free pizza made with care from Venice Bakery GF crust: OVERALL: Great place to go if you want a well-made standard American-style pizza without the frills and pricetag and made with love. Things I Really Appreciate About Red Tomato Pizza Berkeley: - It's a small business franchise - They have S / M / L size options for their GF crust - I didn't have to overexplain when asking them to cook it on a pan because of my allergy. Clearly, he understood what I meant and why protecting the pizza from the oven floor would be important to me. - He gave me a free bottle of water, just because. #omotenashi - They are generous and make their pizza with such care! (Did you see the photo?) The entire pizza was covered to the edge, each topping distributed evenly. No barren, tooth-breaking crust here. - The owner (?) took my order no hesitation even though I was calling sheepishly 20 more before closing... - They are nice people! Things to Remember for Next Time: - Ask for it a little crispier. I can't fault them for the cooking time - I ordered right before closing. - Try a Large! This particular pizza + combination was exactly like the RT from my childhood. The only thing missing was the Simpson's arcade game and playing Marge to beat up bad guys with a vacuum cleaner. But what more could you ask for really? read more

For reference I've only ordered a couple of times here. Never been to the restaurant. The first time I ordered I had a margheritta pizza which was decent. Good enough for trying another time. The second time I ordered was quite an experience. I order to one of the usual apps. And my order kept getting delayed. Fast forward to a 2hr delay By that point, I had already made a meal at home and was thinking of having the pizza for another day, if it ever arrived. Then I got a cancellation notice from the app. That is almost enough to earn my one star, but what really grinds my gears is the call from the restaurant after the cancellation. This super aggressive dude asking me if I still want my pizza, I can get it for free. I'm like OK I guess... Then the guy clarifies that he meant the delivery is free but I have to pay. Also he wants me to know that it was the app that canceled, and that the driver never came and a ton of "dog ate my homework" excuses. Not once did it occur to him mention the fact that he was 2 hours late, that if it was true that the driver never came that pizza has been literally sitting for more than an hour there, and that he had my phone number all along and could have informed me of the situation. If you want professional do not eat here. If you want the kid that ate glue at high school to tell you his latest excuse for his mediocrity, then you have landed in the right spot read more

Great vegan options I tried the pine nut pesto and the tikka masala The crust was great and the daiya cheese tasted great Definitely check it out. Friendly service and delicious food read more

I was planning to order pizza tonight, called and asked for the price on a medium gluten free. Guy said $23, I said for gluten free right? He said yes. Called back to order and he said it's 30$. And I told him I had just called and he said " I didn't realize it was gluten free" I'm not going there now and I'm not sure why gluten free is 7$ more. Rip off read more

Hello vegan pizza! I've walked past this place hundreds of times and finally decided to give it a try. So glad to find pizza and beer now that I'm vegan. I'll be back! read more

Yay!! It's been years since I've been here. I discovered it a while ago when I lived in the area and while passing through tonight, I just had a taste for pizza. This was the first GF / Gluten-free pizza shop I went to, I remember it being delicious and it did not disappoint tonight. Just the ingredients were fresh, and if I wasn't loving the smell, look and taste I might have grabbed a photo. Ignore the online take out tool. They do have Gluten free crust snd also what was not listed were the spinach and mushrooms I ordered - I'm glad I called for general information. As far as I know this is a small business; Get it while it's hot!! read more

One of the best restaurants in town. The tastes from various dishes are succulent and explosive with flavors that are savoring. From the customer service to the hospitality is heartwarming. There's also a live music with a stage that caters to listener. read more

I'm so impressed with the service at this spot . The man who helped us was beyond helpful. He made sure we were welcomed and then some . It's been a long time since I've had customer service this good ! Thank you to this pizza house for being so accommodating ! If you're looking for a great vegan pizza this is the spot ! We ordered the garlic hummus pizza , bbq tofu pizza and vegan sticks . All of our food were fresh and flavorful ! read more

This goes to all the vegans. This is the best pizza spot I have found. High quality ingredients. Service was excellent, very kind and patient. Not at all stingy with toppings. If you're looking to take your family out, or just a slice to go I highly recommend The red tomato pizza house. read more

Solid pizza place!! It definitely has more of that classic pizza parlour taste, which is a nice alternative from some of the more "Californian" options. I am quite particular about pizza nowadays - especially crusts - and this one was not soggy at all despite sitting in the box for a while! Not too thick or too thin. Toppings are extremely generous as you can see from the photos and everything tasted really good but also didn't put me into pizza grease coma, which is hard balance to strike. I am not gluten or dairy free so I didn't try any of those options but I think it's super cool that they have them. I might try one next time especially because some of the vegan options look pretty interesting. Tried both garden medley and margherita and both were delicious. Garden medley packed with veggies but not soggy at all, which is hard to do. Also I don't normally like olives but these ones actually tasted good. Margherita is a little different from classic with artichoke hearts (they did ask if I was ok with that) and this is a really good combination! Basil actually tasted like basil and again, great crust. I was worried pizzas might be a bit small but actually 2 small pizzas is way more than enough for 2 people. We did not finish either. With tax and tip it was ~$30 for 2, which is super reasonable! Right now they also have some outdoor seating. Overall Red Tomato Pizza House is lovely local business that I will definitely return to next time I have a pizza craving! read more

This was a breathe of fresh air during covid. Warm seating, music across the street, and good food

My partner and I stopped by to try this place for a quick lunch. Pleasantly surprised with the two topping individual pizza w/soda specials!! We each ordered one and both were really good and the prices were spot on!! What we REALLY enjoyed was the ambience (if you enjoy jazz playing in the background then you will truly enjoy your dining experience)! The owner, Eden, stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying our dining experience and to let us know that they have a comedy hour on Fridays. Super nice!!! Definitely worth checking out! Oh, and they have ESPN on one of the other TVs ... you can enjoy Jazz and Sports at the same time. Win win!!!!! read more

We've ordered pizzas for pick up several times - but the last time the owner was so kind & generous after our order had gotten mixed up through yelp. Even though it was no fault of theirs, she gifted us the mistake pizzas and was so sweet in our conversations. They have great vegan pizza options that are very creative (my ten year old likes the cauliflower & the pesto pizzas) and even their plain cheese pizza is really good! I'm always happy to support a business that feels like more than a money transaction. Thanks for feeding my family! read more

The best pizza I ever had! The marinara sauce is sooooo good! Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Worth the hour and a half drive, will definitely be going back! read more

Red Tomato Pizza House - Salami Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Pizza is good. Given the fact that pizza and cold beer go hand in hand, they were out of half the beers on tap and brought us warm beer. We ordered the vegan bbq tofu pizza and although the concept was good, the vegan cheese is awful, would be better ordering no cheese. The place was not busy at all, one other customer, yet the staff were inattentive and playing on their phones. This place misses the mark and could be a very cool place that vegans would embrace if only they could get the vibe right. Cold beer and attentive staff must be too much to ask. read more

First, you have to understand that I'm from New York and New Haven, the epicenters of thin-crust, *real* pizza. So you can write me off as an east coast pizza snob from the get-go. So major props to these guys for doing delivery. Delivery went well, happy with all that. All the people were super nice. The pizza itself is so meh. I got the original crusts in a variety of toppings for a group event and none of pizzas were what I would call good. They were mostly what I would describe as industrial pizzas -- the sort you might have gotten at your high school cafeteria or at an all you can eat buffet -- puffy chewy crusts, really skimpy on the sauce and cheese that is largely flavorless. I wish I could love them more. The phone person was wonderful, the driver was a good human (remember to tip your drivers!), and all that. But it comes down to the pizza and it was just so meh. Put it another way: a group of twenty-somethings actually left some pizza behind after we ate. So.... I give it 2 yelp stars as the pizza itself was a "meh, I've experienced better" but a +1 star for being affordable, having a delivery on time, and being super nice people. read more

I came in and ordered two large vegan pizza with all the veggies and this so what I received. This is a joke of a pizza, maybe one or two mushrooms on a whole large pizza?! Barely anything and this was over a 80$ order. I don't recommend this place at all. Very cheap on their toppings, that is how you lose customers. Shame on you red tomatoe pizza house read more

We got the gluten free crust with onions and sausage. Nice, clean place and family owned not a chain. Normally GF crust isn't very good and only available as an individual (small) size. We were able to get a medium pizza and it was delicious! Service was friendly. We ate at 11:00am so not crowded - got our pizza right away. Not as expensive as other places that offer gluten free crust. Bathroom was very clean. read more

Amazing vegan options! Including the breadsticks, absolutely amazing! When my wife brought them to me I had to ask "are you sure this is vegan?!" Hahah I had an awful experience with GrubHub delivery, but that had nothing to do with the restaurant. They delivered me a cheese pizza and of which I couldn't eat and then told me it would be 5-7 days for a refund. They the proceeded to tell me there was nothing they could do to figure out where my actual order went and couldn't assist in reordering for me. But that's GrubHub. They would get zero stars from me. However, when the restaurant realized I had resubmit the same order less than an hour later, they actually gave me a phone call to see what happened. They were extremely apologetic regarding the GrubHub screw up, which put me at ease. I haven't gotten the chance to eat in the restaurant quite yet but as far as the vegan food options and customer service experience, then get five stars from me! I'd just avoid delivery through GrubHub if you can! read more

This review is long overdue but I just wanted to let my Berkeley people know that this is a great spot for nondairy diets. I have been here about four times already and have ordered a different vegan style Pizza each time and they are all delicious! Great price, great food, great owners. Definitely recommend it. read more

Popped in to checkout a pizza by the slice spot and fell in love with my personal pizza. This is my new go to spot for sure, try it you will definitely not be disappointed read more

Red Tomato Pizza House - Personal pepperoni and salami - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'd say that this pizza is pretty up there. The interior is pretty casual. It's actually quite dimly lit (not in a romantic way) so in the afternoon when you first walk in from outside, it's a bit dark inside. The ambiance is definitely really really chill. I came here during lunch on a weekday and ordered a lunch special. I got their "personal combination" which was a small personal pizza and I also asked for a cup of water. The total price was about $7, which wasn't bad. Personal combination lunch special pizza 5/5: The pizza itself had cheese, pepperoni, sausage, salami, onions, green peppers, olives, and what you would expect from a combo pizza. I was really thankful that it wasn't HUGE because I prefer eating things that I can finish. The diameter of the pizza was about the size of my hand so it was a nicely sized pizza for 1 person. The pizza itself was really tasty. They were super generous with the amount of ingredients and they tasted great! The crust wasn't super thin but it wasn't overly starchy or crusty. I honestly don't have anything to complain about. They also gave me a stamp card for the lunch specials! Service was also great. The workers there are so kind! read more

We come to this place every single time we're attending a show at the UC Theater across the street, and we're never disappointed. This visit we tried the BBQ Pizza and it was delicious! Light crispy crust and fresh ingredients. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and the atmosphere and service is awesome. Last night they even had a live band come and play, which was a surprise to us but it was phenomenal! The owners really care about this business and it shows in how well they serve. We'll be back many more times!! read more

This is a cool spot to hang out with the bros. Beer, pizza, and wings. The pizza is similar to Midwest style pizza. Think 90s Chuckie Cheese. Inferior to NYC style, but superior to Berkeley cheese bread style. The toppings are low quality, but they have good mozzarella, so if you like cheese pizza, check this place out. The crust is just ok. Foldable, but not too chewy or crispy. read more

I love the crust and the cheese ratio is on point! Great pizza for the price The crust is just the right amount of soft. Also the service was amazing and the aesthetic has a classic feel that I like read more

Enjoying lunch at this great pizza spot! I would say little because it looks so from the outside. But it is quite spacious and clean inside. Comfortable music accompanied the nice people at the counter. The pizza was fresh made, hot, delicious and well priced. If your in Berkeley CA, don't miss the Red Tomato Pizza House. It's well worth it! read more

Wow. We came in from San Mateo for a show at the UC theater across the street. The pizza here is amazing- we got the garden delight and it was delightful. We also got the pesto twists also amazing. Great toppings, perfectly cooked to crispy perfection and served by very kind people. Highly recommend. read more

Beautiful food with incredible ownership. This was by far the best vegan pizza I have ever had, especially considering the selection choice. We had to try everything, so we got the vegan pepperoni, the Pesto Pine Nut Vegan Pizza, the Spicy Paneer Tandoori Vegan Pizza and the Vegan Garlic Twists. Everything was amazing. They also make Deep Fried Oreos that my friend ordered and absolutely loved. I highly suggest stopping by if you need a new favorite pizza spot. Without a doubt, you will have an amazing experience! read more

Have been eyeing this place for awhile! Super curious about their vegan pizza. Finally ordered for delivery & was having trouble using the 15% off coupons for first time orders so the owner got on the phone to take my order personally! He was awesome, super friendly & got my order perfectly! The pizza arrived 45 mins later & was super YUM! It reminded me of the vegan version Roundtable. The crust was crispy & the toppings were flavorful & fresh. It's great having a yummy vegan pizza delivery spot so close to home. My daughter gave it two thumbs up & we definitely plan to order again! read more

Red Tomato Pizza House - create your own pizza: red sauce, Spinach, mushrooms, artichokes, chopped garlic, black olives & light daiya cheese (too much can be bad). - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Eating out for one person? Beware before eating here. Always get a receipt if you decide to eat here! I ordered one calzone with 3 ingredients and one Mexican Coke and was charged $35!! Yup. $35. I asked about the price and the young lady said it was right. Also, I ordered the glass notice Mexican Coke. The young lady went to the back to grab me a 2 liter of Coke in a plastic bottle. I just didn't have the energy to dispute tonight. My bad. I didn't get a receipt. Also my bad. Double and triple check prices on the menu before you pay. Get a receipt. Food was...meh. No need to rush here to eat. There are so many other places nearby. read more

I love the pizza. Biggest down side is that as they open at 3 they're not really an option for lunch. I work close by and when I get pizza for lunch I have to resort to chains that open at 10. I'd much rather get it from here. Maybe consider opening at 1? read more

I was in Berkeley to catch a show at the Greek. I was starving and had a craving for pizza and found Red Tomato Pizza House on Yelp. The service was friendly enough. The pizza was okay. Definitely edible but nothing to write home about. The place was a ghost town. For having a 4 star average on a pretty busy street I was surprised. read more

This place was great! We decided to give this place a try because it had several vegan options to choose from (and it had a pickup/order window that was still open during COVID-19). My husband and I ordered the vegan garlic twist, a tandoori vegan pizza (size small) and a garden salad. To my surprise, our order turned out to be more than enough for us both! I've never had pizza with Indian spices before so I didn't know what to expect. Luckily for me, it turned out to be pretty tasty! :) I 100% recommend, especially with a cold beer. read more

I came here a few times, and I liked the remodeling of the space. It's super clean and welcoming and I really liked the music they play, but then they switched it to jazz :/ the pizza is good and I'm really happy about the range of opinions especially the vegan pizza here. The cashier was very polite. If you want a chill place to come eat pizza I would highly recommend this place! The bathrooms are pretty clean especially for Berkeley bathrooms. read more

Stuff yourself. We come specifically to B for Red.....and those ridiculous gourmet cinnamon buns a block away.....well that's another review. Anyway we get the stuffed cheese garlic bread and the stuffed crust pizza with fresh mushroom and yummy olives. Both items vegan. Same thing every time. We just can't help it. I'm pretty sure they use Teese cheeze but if they do use the horrible Daiya then they secretly sprinkle crack or something to it to make it the best stuffed crust ever. The cheese tastes like my firm mozz that I make at home. We have never had a bad pie here. But we seriously eat a piece or two a get a to go box. Then we waddle away to those buns. This stuff is super filling. Not thin but not thick! And big. Huge portions sizes seem large for the quality. Sauce is seasoned, fresh and flavorful. I really wish we had a place even remotely on the same quality level as Red in Las Vegas. Well maybe not because I would have a huge huge wheat belly :D oh well it would be worth it! read more

Deal shopper @JaRue2011 & I recently cashed in our $16 L*S Deal (value like $30) at Red Tomato Pizza House in downtown Berkeley & had a tasty 1st time experience! They get 3.5 stars from BF-J & I, but I feel like rounding up ^_^ Saturday before Easter Sunday, 4/7/12 Around 6pm-ish PARLOR: Large open & clean restaurant. One bthrm AND clean! Booth seating & table seating with armless chairs. 2 large flat screen TVs, 1 air hockey table, & soda fountain machine (ice machine was broke on our visit though). One group eating in when we came in; we could tell their eats they cashed in their L*S Deal too ^_^ Friendly customer service at their ordering counter http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/R3FjgD7K7B2D_FnGmd8jqA?select=gYyIMsSnLkWcem6aCDDzHA You could see staff prepping orders for deliveries. PARKING: Wasn't a problem. Street/metered parking or try the parking lot just around the block from it. EATS: No fireworks for the salad, just ok. Although their ice machine was out of order, thank goodness they have their liter sodas on chill! Two thumbs up for the chicken & pizza though! Chicken might have been quickly grilled then baked off in oven 'cuz the meat bit off very easy from the bones. Pizza crust was thin & crisp. Pepperoni & cheese tasty hot.
