My first and last review of Spinning Dough. Spinning Dough was on my to do list for a while now. While browsing through social media, I was saddened to find out that they were closing their doors permanently the weekend of April 20th. With that being said, my cousin and I trekked out to Oakland to visit Spinning Dough on their last weekend of operation. The service was friendly, but very slow. It was understandable since an explosion of business was expected on the final weekend. We dined in and ordered 3 pizzas: - Ube - Longanisa - Blackberry We wanted to do halfs with the longanisa and blackberry, but halfs wasn't offered. It seemed that our orders got to us in a timely manner. One right after the other, once receiving our first pizza. I enjoyed all the pizzas. But my favorite one was the longanisa pizza. Composed of longanisa, eggs, garlic, tomatoes. Straight up tasted like the traditional Filipino breakfast. It was also served with a side of of vinegar. Thank you Spinning Dough for the experience of pizzas far from tradition. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
They are closing on April 20th, don't sleep on it! Came here last night with my man; had been wanting to try this place for 7 years specifically for their Ube (which can't be done half and half) - which we ordered. And then got a Half & Half of Longanisa and Blackberry. IRL, both not the biggest fans of Longanisa. He wanted to try the Longanisa which I was down to try one slice. He wasn't feeling Blackberry. We both thought the other wasn't going to eat the other half. The pizzas came out. The Ube was my favorite. It is going to be a little sweet for some such as my boyfriend even though he's Filipino. And then Longanisa I really enjoyed! If I had to recommend one it would be the Longanisa. The spicy vinegar drizzled on top was *chef's kiss*. It is going to be slightly sweet due to the nature of Longanisa. It was sweet, a little savory - just incredible. This was my man's favorite of the bunch. Then I tried the blackberry and he watched me to gauge if this was one he should be trying (I made no responses and just went ham for it). He tried it and didn't think it was weird as he thought it would be. He said this one was less weird than the Ube. The blackberry was good - a good balance and not too sweet. He liked the pizzas in totality, he prefers a New York style - not super saucy - not super tomatoey sauced out so these were a great selection. Service was great - the owner and his staff are really friendly and helpful; great vibes. -Pizzas and their components below- UBE : Sliced Potatoes, Homemade Sausage, Red Onions, Ube Ricotta, and Topped with Scallions on Bechamel LONGANISA : Bechamel, Longanisa, Eggs, and Onions. Topped with Tomatoes, Fried Garlic, Drizzled with Honey, and Served with Spiced Vinegar BLACKBERRY aka EatsbyRachel Berry : Blackberry bechamel, blackberries, parmesan cheese, ricotta, crushed pistachios, drizzled with honey and topped with basil
Wait I'm incredibly sad that I've only gotten to trying it on their last 2 days of being open. Hopefully a reopen in a better location in the future??? Drove across the bridge from SF just to try the ube pizza and GEEZUS it was so good. I took it to go so by the time I made it back home it was cold, BUT it was still so good a solid 4/5. Cold - the ube taste was not so much there but the pizza itself and the thin crust was amazing. We decided to try airfrying it to warm it up... BAM 5/5 so so so good. You can definitely taste the ube with the savory flavors of the pizza. Ube shouldn't be too sweet and thought this was a good combo I would've never expected. Pretty busy around 5pm, all the front tables were full not sure about the ones in the back expansion. The shop itself felt so warm and hot tho as far as environment temperature. It was about an hour to get my pizza :( so I suggest if you're going on the last day to order ahead. Its location is not really in a good area, but street parking it is so be safe and don't leave any valuables in the car.
I came here on a Friday night with a friend for dinner, and we were super excited to try the Ube pizza! After seeing the hype years ago, we finally got the chance to try. The restaurant itself is on a corner, and it's rustic inside with lots of wood decor and neon lights. We were the only customers, so we were able to sit anywhere and service was great! We got our order in, and waited about fifteen to twenty minutes before the food came out. This pizza was MASSIVE. I really like how thin and crispy the trust was. There is a slight ube taste in the more purple region, but more or less, it was a decent pizza. I wished it had more toppings, because it was mostly cheese. We were eating slowly, and I asked if it was possible for our server to reheat the pizza, and it was! Definitely game changer. We also got a complimentary special of tuna inari from the chef! I am glad we got the chance to try this viral spot!
Street parking at Spinning Dough was easy. Several spots are available near the entrance. Margaret welcomed us in, seated us, and provided a menu. She described the special pizza which was a green chili pizza (pork). The space is simple with a big mirror reflecting into the open kitchen so everyone can get a glimpse of Chef Jeff spinning the dough. He makes it look so easy. We ordered beer and got some early beer week options to try. The miso mushroom pizza caught our eye but also wanted to try a popular choice too. For $4 more, we could do half and half so that's what we did. The only pizza you can't split is the ube. We chose half miso mushroom and half blackberry. I was curious to know, will blackberry replace pineapple on pizza now? *Salad ($13) We ate the house salad and it was no ordinary plain salad. There were sliced apples, crisp mixed greens, dried cherries, cucumber, carrots, and it was perfectly dressed in a vinaigrette. Also, it was huge! *Pizza The crust was light, crispy, held up to the toppings. Nothing floppy. The best part is that fold. The slices were big and so was my appetite. Miso mushroom ($37) I could smell the lemon zest on the pizza and I immediately wanted to try this slice first. The miso mushroom has two types of mozzarella, thinly sliced mushrooms, miso (not sure how it's used but you can taste it), basil, and sprinkles of that fragrant lemon zest. I'll be back for this one. The flavors are unique but works so nicely on pizza. Very creative plus all the things you love about pizza. BLACKBERRY aka EatsbyRachel Berry ($37) You can immediately see the dark blackberry incorporated in the pizza. The blackberry bechamel melted into the pizza and became one. This pizza hit the salty and sweet notes pretty high. The bites of pistachio grounded the flavors nicely. The brightness of basil reminded you that this is indeed pizza with every crunchy cheesy bite. This is as creative as it gets. If you're a fan of pineapple pizza, give this one a try. I understand all the hype and it's the real deal. The kindness and community love here is next level. Stop by and be fed by chef Jeff. He shares the love with every spinning dough.
I'm not sure how my husband discovered this hidden gem since it's located in a part we normally wouldn't travel to nor a part of Oakland to walk around leisurely. But hey we love a random discovery! We ordered our $39 ube pizza online and drove over. Luckily we snatched a spot right out in front! We must have misread on when the pizza was ready so when we showed up the kind folks (pizza chef and 1 staff) were profusely apologetic about the wait. There was 1 other customer waiting inside the restaurant but otherwise no one was dining in. Not wanting to loiter in the area, we decided to check out the nearby Ghost Town Brewery to have a drink instead (highly recommend). Interestingly you can order 1/2 orders of pizza, though sadly you couldn't do that with the ube pizza- otherwise would have loved to sample other flavors. After finishing imbibing our delicious beers at Ghost Town we circled back to Spinning Dough. They recognized me immediately and handed me with a giant box of pizza, thanking me for the wait. The smell of our pizza was so tantalizing we almost pulled over to take a bite. And let me tell you that ube sausage ricotta red onion pizza is SO worth the wait. Every bite was addictingly savory. My husband easily gulped gown 3 or 4 slices! I ate 2 slices and had the remaining 2 as my next day lunch, and yes they were still just as magical. I also appreciate that the thin crust was very crispy. I will definitely try out other flavors next time!
True foodies will try anything once, and I'm so glad that I gave the Ube Pizza at Spinning Dough a try! I found out about the Ube Pizza from Instagram, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to order it while visiting the East Bay. I came on a weekday evening, and to my surprise, the restaurant was empty! My partner and I were invited to sit anywhere, and seating is limited yet cozy inside. Spinning Dough has an open kitchen, and the owner makes the pizza himself. We enjoyed watching him assemble our order right in front of us. Everything came out quickly, and after a few bites, my partner and I were in agreement that we're fans of this creative take! The Ube flavor is infused in the crust, and my favorite bite would be the sausage paired with the Ube ricotta. I'd highly recommend, and we even had leftovers to bring home to Sacramento with us!
I came for the Ube Pizza and that beautiful purple tuber is not just for show! The ube infused ingredients add a delightful flavor to the ideal combination of house-made Italian sausage, onions and bechamel. It's an extra large pie with a thin, chewy crust perfect for folding. My mom and I enjoyed it so much and thought it was totally worth the drive. Customer service was great. I was greeted immediately after walking in and they were very friendly and patient with my questions. Jeff (the owner and chief dough spinner) kindly cooked my pizza to almost done so I could do the final bake at home in Sacramento. Next time we will dine in and try their Longanisa, Soppresata, and Seafood pizzas. Also on the menu are wings, salads, desserts, beer & wine. Everybody always heads across the bridge to Tony's but why do that when you could have delicious, uniquely creative and traditional NY style pizza in Oaktown?
Spinning Dough has been pushed to me on social media platforms pretty much non-stop for the past couple of months. I'm glad I was finally able to try it out recently and see what all the hype was about. I stopped by as a group of four around 6:00 p.m. on a Sunday evening and the place was pretty much empty. It was a really nice day outside so we opted to sit in the back patio. Shortly after we were seated, waters were brought over, and we were told about the monthly special -- a Miso Mushroom pizza. One cool thing about the pizzas here is you can opt for half-and-half for a small fee. The only pizza you're unable to do that with is the ube pizza. My friends and I ultimately settled on doing a half-half with the miso mushroom and Hawaiian on the other half. If you enjoy thin crust, you will absolutely love the pizza here: the crust is thin, crunchy and really allows the toppings to shine. The miso mushroom flavor I cannot recommend enough for mushroom lovers. For a group of four, one pizza felt like not enough, and we were still a bit hungry afterwards. In hindsight, we probably should have ordered more than one pizza and a caesar salad as our only appetizer. It is unfortunate that Spinning Dough is located where it is, because it's kind of in the middle of nowhere and the neighborhood being run-down likely scares away out-of-town customers unfamiliar with Oakland. If you're looking for good pizza, I would definitely recommend stopping by Spinning Dough. Their crust is delicious and they have a ton of creative toppings, including a seafood pie I can't wait to try out on my next visit.
Went to an event that had catered food and I knew right away this was from spinning dough. I haven't visited the actual location yet but I always see the famous Ube pizza being posted. I had a slice and it was really good. It was thin sliced and the flavor was subtle. I wanted to try the other pizzas they ordered but there were so many desserts and other foods for us. Will visit the location soon!
Very nice people! Came here for their Ube pizza since I'm a huge fan of Ube and when I saw this pizza on instagram I had to come get it! We were in the Oakland area so we came in an hour before closing and they made us a a pizza from scratch pretty quickly! The Ube pizza was delicious. There was Ube in the crust, and in the ricotta and potato slices in the pizza itself too, so good! The salty and savory combo really worked and I highly recommend. Next time we order this though I might as for less Ube ricotta since it felt a little heavy and sweet for me but definitely tasted like real Ube! We also got a guava soda in addition which was refreshing and a great compliment to our pizza. Super yummy!
I will forever support Spinning Dough, as they're Oakland spirit through and through, and hands down deliver the best and most creative/variety of pizzas in town. I first heard of Spinning Dough's viral ube pizza via social media, and was lucky to attend a Yelp Elite event hosted by them. My mind was blown when I took a bite of their ube pizza. The ube is literally IN the dough too, so not only are you getting deliciously tasty slices of potato, homemade sausage and scallions in your pizza, but that pop of sweetness from the ube just hits perfectly. Ingenius. First of it's kind for sure. Not too oily and the perfect chew to crunch ratio for the crust. I've also had their mushroom (my second fave), margherita, and chicken wings which are all fire. I think their monthly specials are where it's at...like right now it's the Berry Pizza. HOW CREATIVE. Their pizza's are great for leftovers and go well for a consecutive pop in the overn. Let's also give a moment for this beautiful family-run joint. Jeff is the 'za maestro, and I've seen his son also in the oven, and his niece and sometimes his wife in the shop. They're all amazing, loving people who do it because they LOVE it. Support local, and tip hard! From the outside looking in, you'd probably think twice about dining in. I mean it's not exactly in the safest part of town, and you're lucky if you can snag one of the three spots of street parking right in front of their shack-like exterior. If you come in the evening though, the small lot next door (I think it's a paint store or some type of hardware shop) is open since the shop closes in the evening. I've never had a problem with street parking TBH, just be smart about your car and don't leave anything inside. I'd go to bat for Spinning Dough any day. They have indoor and a larger outdoor area for dining, dog-friendly and kid-friendly. You're paying for a HUGE pizza (one size only) that is incredibly share-able, high quality ingredients, and AAPI-small-biz local pizza. What's more to love, East Bay!
I came here specifically for eatsbyrachel blackberry pizza! it is their January monthly special, so I was happy to catch it before it ended. my boyfriend and I came around 5pm on a Sunday, and there was only one other group in the restaurant besides us. They have the option of doing half half (my bf did not want to eat only sweet pizza), so we got half berry pizza, half soppressata. we also got a house salad. As we were waiting for our food, we saw Jeff in the back tossing the dough in the air -- so we knew our pizza was made fresh! The house salad that came out was pretty big. I think it's enough for about 4 people to share as a small appetizer prior to pizza. It was $13! Our pizza came shortly after. It looked and smelled sooo good. We tried the blackberry pizza first, and it was better than expected! My boyfriend thought it was going to be too sweet, but it was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. The pistachios and ricotta balanced out the not too sweet cooked blackberries! I also really enjoyed their pizza crust. It was crispy, crunchy and garlicy, like they had a garlic bread crust! It can definitely be one of my top 5 fave crusts! The soppressata was next. Jeff said he loved this pizza flavor so much, that he ate it almost every day when they first opened! It was good, but it was too one dimensional, I only tasted sweet from the honey and barely any flavor from the soppressata. I think if he had used a spicy soppressata, i would have liked it better. I opted to asked for chili flakes to top my pizza for that extra kick. Jeff came around halfway through our meal and talked to us about his new upcoming flavors and asked if we enjoyed the meal. We had a nice chat, and were glad he took the time to talk to us! Note: there is a cute outdoor patio that we saw just by the bathroom. We hope we can come back when it's warmer to experience it-- looks like a fun time! read more

We come to Spinning Dough in West Oakland, CA as much as we can. The last two times we came here ( two weeks Ina row), it was a warm sunny afternoon to eat their pizza, relax in the outdoor patio and drink a glass of White Sauvignon Blanc. AHHHHH!!! We shall continue to return. read more
So who wants a pizza this dough, dough?? Jeff (owner) is so passionate and takes great pride on this pizzas. Also his spinning dough technique is impressive! For this month (May 2023) they are offering an ube pizza -- béchamel, sliced potato, sausage, red onion, scallions, cheese. Surprisingly the flavors balanced out and works well! Salty from the sausage but sweet from the Ube pizza dough. seafood pizza -- béchamel, clam, crab, scallop, shrimp, scallions chicken pizza -- pesto, roasted red pepper, scallions, cheese pepper parmesan wings -- probably my favorite one out of the maple chili pepper wings. caesar salad -- surprised the lettuce isn't cut up but it was well dressed! I liked it a lot! I liked how the pizza is sooo thin! I was definitely full off of 2-3 slices tbh. Will definitely be back! Service is great too! They have lots of seating outdoor on their patio. read more

Heard about this place through IG talking about their Ube pizza. Huge lover of pizza and anything Ube so this was a match made in heaven. Recently moved to Oakland so this was on our list to try first! We do call ahead to make sure they have ube pizza as previous reviews mentioned that they can run out, especially on the weekends. We haven't eaten inside the establishment but the ambiance is great and the cashier/host is always so helpful, kind, and friendly when we call to order. For pick-up, we are always lucky that the parking spot(s) right in front of the restaurant is open. On to the pizza, the ube pizza is AHHMAZING and my favorite! Such a great combo of sweet and savory, but not overly sweet. Definitely a must! I love that the pizza is huge so you do get a lot of slices and the dough, omg, I love that it is thin! It is soo good. It's the perfect ratio of toppings and crust. We have gotten this pizza 3 times now and cannot wait to come back to get it again. Furthermore, I do love that they have specials to keep things fresh and interesting. My bf and I did get their special bulgogi pizza once and it was good but not my favorite. The bulgogi was a little on the salty side but it was very flavorful. read more

After seeing this over and over again on IG, I decided to make a trip to Oakland. These pizzas are so damn good! I bought 2 pizzas right when they opened . Took about 30 mins to make FRESH. Drove back home ( about an hour) to have dinner withthe fam. FILIPINO APPROVED. Longsilong and ube. We'll back to eat in house next time! The place is a vibe for sure . read more
I saw the unique pizzas on Instagram and knew I had to give it a try as I love pizza. They have a nice outdoor patio where you can bring your dog. We got the ube pizza and the longanisa pizza. Both were huge! I'm not usually an ube fan, but I really liked the pizza! The flavors were kind of subtle, but it still had a lot of flavor at the same time. The sausage on there was really good. I also really like the longanisa pizza. I liked the egg on the pizza and I really liked the vinegar on the side. It could use a bit more longanisa though. Overall, the crust was delicious, the cheese was so good, the flavors were good, the pizza was baked perfectly. Also, their red pepper flakes were some of the best pepper flakes that I've had on my pizza! read more

Spinning dough should win awards! They are hands down the home of the ube pizza. The ingredients are fresh and made with tender love and care. You can look into the kitchen and see them preparing our pizza fresh and making sure each ingredient was placed to perfection. It has a small but comfy inside and an outdoor patio space as well. Our serve paid attention to detail and made sure that we got everything we asked for from extra Parmesan to more wine during the happy hour on Thursdays and Fridays. While waiting on our pizza, there is a steady flow of to go orders with tons of gracious customers. Don't walk but run to this place as the more folks know about this place, there will definitely be a line around the block! Make sure to get there early because parking can be a bit of a challenge. read more

Went to spinning dough after all the cool Instagram posts I was seeing about their ube pizza and I'm so glad we did! The ambiance here is casual and there was street parking that we were able to quickly go pick up our order. The service was fast and they had everything ready which was awesome. We ordered the ube pizza which I found to be unique and really like. The sweetness of the ube really went well with the savory sausage and all the other flavors. This is truly a unique pizza and worth trying Atleast once. We also got the maple wings which we enjoyed - the sauce was delicious. We did wish that that the wings were crispier though - but overall food here is solid! read more

I have heard tons of great things from people about Spinning Dough and, of course, have seen their iconic Ube Pizza on Instagram since I moved to the Bay Area. That's why, when we found ourselves in the East Bay, it was our pick for dinner! The atmosphere inside is cozy with a view of the kitchen where you can see all the pizza-making magic happen and the patio is spacious with several picnic tables to sit at, perfect for a bigger group. Obviously, we ordered the ube pizza and, per our servers recommendation, the baked maple chili wings. On first impressions, this pizza is BIG. Like, we could only eat a couple slices before feeling full, big. It's exactly what I would expect for the price point. Filling and made with quality ingredients. I loved the sweet and spicy balance of the ube ricotta and spicy sausage. The wings were super flavorful and juicy... You know how sometimes you get wings and there's a lot of skin and bones and not much meat? This is not the case here. We really enjoyed them but think we'd order a more spicy flavor next time! We got to meet the owner, Jeff, and he was as kind and hospitable as could be. I've worked with many business owners in the past and really love seeing them involved in their operation and that's exactly what he's doing here. They're a small but mighty team and we were very impressed with the service and our overall experience. I definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for pizza in Oakland. They have a lot of great options (I hear their seafood pizza is great) and special pizzas, which I believe change monthly! read more

Delicious Ube Pizza!!! This is a must try if you are in the area! Called them and they had it ready to pick up in less than 20 mins. I almost died and went to heaven after trying this flavourful pizza . read more
Went to dinner. Jeff came out and was super friendly. We can hear a couple times to try their monthly flavors. It was delicious! The kimchi Bulgolgi, Ube pizza and the okonomiyaki were some of the monthly flavors we tried (different times). But each. Tim it has been a great experience and interesting flavors! Bulgolgi has a spicy kick and it is my favorite! Definitely need to try more monthly flavors. read more
Great spot for thin crust! I especially love seeing the new special pizzas coming out each month like the ube pizza and okonomiyaki pizza, unique and tasty additions to their menu. They have some new refreshing sodas, adding onto their popular peach, which are guava and blood orange. I actually really like the salads here too and they pair perfectly in the meal. Service is the best, always very welcoming and friendly. The inside is nice but I love going to the back patio to enjoy the sun and fresh air. The patio is dog friendly too! read more

While scrolling on Instagram, I came across a video of Spinning Dough's special ube flavored pizza. Normally, ube is used as a dessert flavor, so I was definitely intrigued by the concept. I stopped in a few weeks ago to finally try it. I am really not exaggerating when I say this is the most incredible pizza I've ever tasted. The ube is slightly sweet (kind of like a sweet potato flavor), while the chicken and other toppings balance it out with salt and umami. On top of that, the pizza is absolutely gorgeous. It's a little pricy, but you really do get your money's worth when the pizza is so beautiful and even more delicious. The owner is very kind and clearly loves his craft! Stop by Spinning Dough the next time you're craving pizza, and you definitely won't be disappointed. read more

Street parking only. Few indoor tables and a nice patio out back. Owner and waitress were friendly. Came here for the ube pizza that only came in XL (18"). We arrived during happy hour so we also added the rosemary wings. The limited time ube pizza has ube ricotta, bechamel, sausage, potatoes, red & green onion on a thin pizza oven crust. While it was interesting, I wouldn't order the ube pizza again. Maybe another herb like fennel to pair with the sausage would make it taste better? I do want to come back to try their other pizza tho as their crust was so good! The rosemary wings is COVERED in rosemary so don't order if you don't enjoy the herb. read more

Spinning Dough in Oakland was amazing! Their special of the month, ube pizza, was so good. The happy hour on their beer/wine was very worth, too. It's evident the owner and pizza maker are passionate about their business and personally check up on their customers. If you're in the vicinity, definitely worth checking out. read more
Spinning Dough is a Pizza restaurant that is committed to using the finest and freshest ingredients. Theres a few indoor tables and a patio outside with benches. I kept seeing their special ube pizza on social media and had to try them out. The ube pizza comes in one size only (18") and consists of sliced potatoes, homemade sausage, red onions, ube ricotta, and topped with scallions on béchamel. I liked how unique this pizza was because of the ubes sweet and earthy taste. It was definitely something different. read more

Ordered their famous Ube pizza for takeout. At $34, it's definitely a more expensive pie. But I have to say I'm impressed overall with the pizza! The Ube gives the pizza an overall mixture of sweet and savory. Might not be for everyone, but it's a unique twist that I found to be quite enjoyable. The pizza itself is well-executed and has a good New York style thin crispy crust that makes me want to come back and try some of their other pizzas when I'm in a mood for a more classic pie. The potatoes add a nice texture to the pizza, the sausage has good flavor and the cheese is on point. At this price point their pizza won't be my go-to, but if you're in the mood for something new that's executed flawlessly, Spinning Dough delivers in spades. read more

Service and food were amazing! Owner let us try another pizza that was a special. It was so good we ordered Togo the following week and tried the longanisa pizza I liked it all lot. I'm currently cutting so once I'm done I will be back read more
Spinning Dough is a charming pizza restaurant with an open - kitchen in West Oakland. Each pizza is hand tossed by owner Jeff. All the dough and sauces are freshly made from scratch. The interior was designed by Jeff himself and there is also an outdoor patio. It was mesmerizing and soothing seeing him toss the pizza by hand. Jeff serves unique combinations of pizza. We stopped by on a Saturday evening and ordered the Ube Pizza. Its thin crust provides a satisfying crunch. I was intrigued by the unique combination of ube ricotta, house-made bechamel sauce, sausage, and potatoes on an ube crust. It brought both sweet and savory tastes. We also tried the Caprese salad which includes Mozzarella, Basil, and Tomato with balsamic vinaigrette, and olive oil. The basil on the Caprese salad was so fresh and delicious read more

I have been wanting to try them for a while. I'm so glad that we made it. Our server was excellent. She gets a five out of five. Sorry I forgot her name. I was so pleased that they were able to accommodate my plant-based needs and still allow me to try the Ube pizza. my cousins had the regular Ube pizza and they absolutely loved it. They also had the tiramisu and chocolate cake. For me pizza would be a 4.2 out of 5. The cross was excellent. The pizza had a lot of good flavor. I would have love to have been able to experience the original pizza with vegan options. It's a cool atmosphere and they do pizza well. My cousins thoroughly enjoyed the tiramisu and my other cousin did enjoy the chocolate cake. He did say it was good even though it was a little dry. read more
Got the Ube pizza from here as we've never seen such a thing offered at any pizza spot. It took them about 25 mins to make the pizza despite few other customers at the time, but it was quite good. It was a bit pricey at $35 (they only offered one size, don't know if this was specific to this pizza), but certainly worth trying. Given the quality, would definitely want to try some of their traditional pizzas as well. read more

I came here with my friend on a whim, we happened to be in the area and she recognized it so we stopped for dinner. We weren't in the mood to try the Ube pizza so we opted for half Margherita, half chicken pesto. I thought it was super yummy!! However, the total for our pizza after tax was close to $50. I do believe that there is a vast array of more affordable pizza options in Oakland. If you're in the area I would definitely give it a try, and I will definitely come back to try the specialty Ube pizza everyone loves. read more
Finally checked this place out after seeing their unique pizzas, particularly the ube pizza, on Instagram. It was as delicious as it looked and we were able to substitute mushrooms for the sausage to make it vegetarian. I loved how the ube was infused into the crust and also served as a topping as ube ricotta. The combination of this subtle coconut sweet flavor paired very well the savoriness of the vegetables. The staff was very friendly and service was quick. They had food ready in 15-20 minutes after placing a phone order. The restaurant interior is nice and they have patio seating where you can also bring your dog. I definitely recommending checking out their creative slices! read more

oh my gosh. I had been wanting to try this place for sooo long after I heard such great reviews and IT DEFINITELY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. We came on a Sunday for late lunch, kind of at a strange hour, so the restaurant wasn't busy at all. parking might be hard since it's street parking but we had no problems with getting a spot right in front of the restaurant. Our server was so so nice and patient with us. We were indecisive with ordering and stayed for a good amount of time catching up with each other so super grateful that she allowed us to have all that time. The pizzas were made on the spot after we ordered and we watched the pizzaiolo literally spinning the dough in the air in the kitchen behind us. The space was so cute, clean, and modern inside, but they also have a large outside patio that looks like it would be soo fun at night to come eat with friends. The pizzas were amazing!! Thin, crispy crust, just what I was craving and so so so flavor packed. Came to check out the ube pizza but star of the show ended up being the Longanisa for us. The flavor of the Longanisa (pork sausage) pizza was just so unique and delicious and the baked egg was perfectly not too runny and not too firm. Also loved the tomato pieces on top that paired so well with the rest of the pizza. The corn was also delicious. They were so generous with the goat cheese on top, so yum!! The ube pizza was very unique and had a super interesting flavor. You can definitely taste the authentic ube flavor in its dough, and I found it to be sweet. My favorite thing about it was the probably the sausage. I would say it was pretty heavy, I think very rich and creamy. The pizzas are HUGEEEE! We were so stuffed after one piece of each flavor we got. So WORTHHH! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend and the Longanisa and Ube pizzas are must tries. Amazing experience, probably one of the best pizza spots ever. read more
I used to come here back in the day and order a small personal pizza for lunch. I love their thin style, and staff have always been very nice and attentive. I returned recently because I found out that they now serve a specialty ube pizza?! Of course being a ube fan and adventurous foodie I had to give it a try. I split a pizza with two other friends. I got take out and my friends arrived a little later so the pizza had cooled down by the time we started eating. The lukewarm version vs the warmed up (microwaved) version is very different. Obviously warmed up is better! Definitely try to eat it fresh out the oven! The ube is everywhere, including in the lightly purple tinted crust. But if you know anything about ube it can be pretty subtle, so I tasted it most when I got a chunk of mashed ube/ube slice in my bite. I wished there was more slices of ube/more dollops of ube throughout the pizza for maximum ube taste since the sausage can really overwhelm the subtle ube flavors. Definitely worth a try, although I won't go out my way to get it. read more

Support your local small businesses! And this is a dog-friendly restaurant (outdoor patio)! Super thin crust! If you like a crunchy thin crust, this place is for you. I still wouldn't say this is a traditional NY style, a little TOO thin for that. But I personally have never had a pizza this thin, I actually really enjoyed it. I feel like you can taste the topping ingredients better and you can eat more, thank eating a lot of bread and getting full. We got the Margherita pizza, I think they only offer Xl size ($28) and quarter slices in cheese and pepperoni ($11-12). They're prices are very competitive, even to chain pizza places, but the quality is better. And if you think about it, you can easily feed 2-3 people for $28 and you can't beat that! The owner was extremely kind and humble. He came to bring us our drinks and checked on us while eating. The waitress even offered us an umbrella to shield us from the sun. Their hours are limited so definitely watch for that. The vibe is casual. I would definitely check this place out! read more
