Walked in and smelled the aroma of a real pizzeria. Talked to the wonderful owner and most of the ingredients are from Italy . From the flour to the cheeses. You must try this incredible food !

Half veggie, half pepperoni
Kim S.

I ordered a half veggie, half pepperoni pizza online from The Pizza Pantry and the process was very simple and straightforward. I walked with my dog to pick it up about 25 minutes after ordering and I was immediately greeted by the friendly employee. The establishment was clean and I was the only customer inside. I gave him my name and he handed me my pizza. I took my pizza home and as soon as I opened the box I was happy to see a delicious-looking pizza! The flavor was great, the crust was nice and thin and cooked to perfection. The crust has this twisted texture which is lovely. The peperoni has a little spice to it (not spicy) and paired with the veggie slices, I think it's the perfect balance of flavor that compliments one another. I will definitely be ordering this pizza again.

The owner is a great guy and good company.

Jeff, the owner and pizza maker, is so nice, warmly welcoming us upon arrival and inquired if we'd prefer indoor or outdoor seating. Beautiful day so opted for outdoor on their expansive back patio. Miso mushroom - new to me, savory and bright flavor. Yuzu and lemon acidity cuts into the savory of the mushroom and miso. Might be one of my new favorites. Soppresata - an OG item on the menu and one of my favorites. Simple classic pizza with soppresata topped with scallions and honey. Savory, sweet. The honey is perfect on this pizza. Longanisa - Filipino inspired with longanisa, baked egg, and tomato. Savory and sweet. Heaviest of the three pizzas. Comes with a side of sweet vinegar to drizzle on top. All three of these pizzas easily are favorites for me. They're super large and best to share with 2-3 people. All thin crust. 6 of us had these three pizzas and were able to finish it but were super stuffed. Wishing the best to Jeff and Spinning Dough's next adventure.

At least I got to go a couple times before they closed and was able to try all the unique flavors that I wanted to try. The first time I went was with my family. We got a whole Ube pizza. The taste was good, and love the uniqueness of it. Even the dough is purple! There weren't that many people there when we went, so the service was quick. My second visit was closing weekend with a group of friends. I got to try two more flavors recommended by the server during my first visit - blackberry and longanisa. Both were very good in different ways. I think I preferred the blackberry slightly over longanisa. They had a lot of take out orders that day, and we got the last white dough (there were still Ube). Good thing we got what we got. Even though they were super busy, the service was still quick and pizza came out fast. I heard they opened up again in San Francisco but for take out only. So glad they reopened because after having the amazing pizzas right before they closed on Oakland, my friends and I were sad that we didn't go sooner. Can't wait to try again in the future.

We came, we saw, we ate, we conquered. Awesome deal, and those cookies...a huge win and crowd-pleaser. We did the Classic Caesar Salad and the Sweet Little Pig Pizza (pepperoni, brown sugar candied bacon, house made tomato sauce, cheese, basil). Loved the inclusion of the brown sugar candied bacon! I noticed they have a Hot Hawaiian Pizza with brown sugar cured pineapple that also looks divine. Also to note, they have hearty sandwiches like Chicken Parmesan on the menu, shareable appetizers like Jumbo Chicken Wings, and cocktails! Pro tip, make sure to order a side of the Buttermilk Basil Ranch..yum! I noticed kiddo options and did I also see a S'more pizza on the menu? Interior seating available, but can also sit in main dining hall or outside with your order too. We will be back. Thank you for the sweet note on our pizza box :)

Pizzeria Violetta in Oakland is firing on all cylinders right now, especially with their current…read moreRestaurant Week special. Their pizzas are already reliably delicious, but this deal is genuinely outstanding value since you get a large 18" pizza, your choice of a Caesar or dinner salad, and four very large sea salt chocolate chip cookies, all for $35. We grabbed two of these specials for a group of six and still had leftovers, so I'd say one combo easily feeds three people and could probably stretch to four as long as no one is absolutely starving. The pizzas themselves are ultra thin but still hold up structurally since you can lift and fold each slice without everything collapsing, which is exactly how I like to inhale my pizza. I personally wish the crust were just a touch more burnt and crackly on the edges, but even without that extra char, the flavor and bouncy chew of the dough were spot on. We ordered the Hot Italian and the Sausage & Roasted Garlic pies and absolutely loved both, especially the housemade sweet Italian sausage that appears on each, which is savory, slightly sweet, and super satisfying in every bite. Their house tomato sauce deserves its own shout out because it hits that ideal balance of sweetness and acidity and ties everything together perfectly. On the Sausage & Roasted Garlic it plays beautifully with the rich roasted garlic purée, and on the Hot Italian it stands up nicely to the Calabrian chilis and chili oil without getting lost. The sea salt chocolate chip cookies that come with the special are huge and packed with chocolate chips, and that little hit of salt really enhanced the flavors but the something about the texture was a bit off for me as it wasn't quite chewy or crumbly but rather something in between, which left me a little confused. Another big plus is that Violetta has a full bar so you can pair your meal with a beer, a glass of wine, or a cocktail to match whatever pie you are in the mood for. Between the quality of the ingredients, the thoughtfulness of the flavor combinations, and the generosity of the Restaurant Week deal, Pizzeria Violetta is an easy recommend and a spot I would happily return to with a group (or by myself with plenty of leftovers!).

I HIGHLY recommend the burrata and hot honey pizza! I also love the white pizza with their ranch and Mama's Boy Magic. It is mostly thin crust, crispy pizza, but they have some other options. I've tried the thick crust focaccia pizza and wasn't as impressed as with the thin slice. As for the location, it is street parking, but I have never struggled to find parking. The shop itself is a little small, with a couple tables outside and some inside. The service is quick and the pizza is always hot!

i have heard so many wonderful things about this place but unfortunately my experience was honestly…read morebad enough to make it so i won't be returning. i paid $14 (including tip) for 2 slices of pepperoni pizza to go. the interaction with the worker who took my order was not the issue. where it all went wrong was when i was handed my pizza slices... they put the pizza slices in a paper bag with no plate, just straight raw on the bag and folded the bag so it was partly closed but still had a gap. i was shocked. honestly blown away that would even be an option for the food to be given to any customer. there was multiple stacks of pizza boxes behind them so i asked if i could get one as in my opinion that's the basic standard for pizza. i walked 2 blocks back to my apartment and the pizza was cold. in no world should my pizza be cold in a less than 5 minute walk. i thought to myself okay this pizza has great reviews let me eat it and it'll make all of this worth it. it was not. the pizza is basic, nothing exciting about it and for the price point i was expecting much more. even after adding hot honey and ranch the grease took over the flavor and i only ended up eating one slice before throwing it away. hopefully this was a singular experience, out of the ordinary and just so happen to happen to me only because for $14 i'm expecting much more flavor , better taste and pizza that stands out from the norm. i'm disappointed to say the least and overall upset that i wasted my money and my time on this place.

I feel like I'm not being punished because I cannot eat wheat and the pizza is very, very, very good. I usually don't have the way more than five minutes once I get to the pizzeria.

Contrast that to another place where I would go, have to go to the front and order my pizza, and then get in a very very very very very very very very, very, very very long line and ask for my pizza. I pity the person who doesn't read the directions telling them to do this and weights for up to an hour in a line and find out that they have the weight even longer for their pizza to be ready. This place is fast and efficient. The inside is fine. It is nice and clean and while there aren't a lot of people there, it seems well taken care of. I think the reason why there aren't so many people there because most of the pieces are taken to go. But that's just a guess. This is a spot with a very good pizza and it comes at a decent price. I'd recommend it to anyone.!

We were able to park across the street in a free parking lot since street parking is null in the area. There were only a few customers when we arrived at 1:30pm on a Saturday. The pizza of the day was a mushroom pie, without the mushroom since my husband dislikes it. The cheese was thick and the crust could've been cooked longer so that it would be crispier. Not sure if the pizza didn't taste as good since it was customized, but I would like to give it another try if I'm ever in the area again. The cost of a whole pizza is $25, which is on the steeper side given that there is no protein.

The decor, the attitude, and the music all lean into it--they were blasting metal while I was there, which gives the place a fun, high-energy vibe that feels a little different from your typical pizza spot. If you're into that scene, you'll probably love it. The setup is super casual. You order at the counter and can hang out while you wait. They've got a great beer selection, and there's even an arcade area where you can play some games while your food is being made. It feels like the kind of place where you could easily kick back with friends for a while. I went with the Mortian, their all-meat pizza, and it was absolutely packed with toppings--pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, all garnished with prosciutto. If you're a meat lover, this one delivers. Every slice was loaded and really flavorful. The crust deserves a shout-out too. It's not thin crust, but it's also not deep dish. It lands right in that perfect middle zone--crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Really satisfying and a great base for all those toppings.
