Great pizza, and the service was good.
Came back for dinner. Was kinda disappointed that there is there is no Changing table in the restrooms. When my wife asked one of the girls if she could use a chair because there wasn't a changing table the lady just looked at her and said then she would have to sanitize the chair.. kind of a big turn off.

Welcoming staff and good food. Plus outdoor seating is available. We went for lunch so we could get the chicken sandwich. SUCH A GOOD CALL! Hard to say no to a brioche bun. Crunchy purple cabbage slaw and just a little mayo on the bun really made it. PT: be sure to use the house made hot sauce with the sando. 😉 The pizza had a crust with a little chew, which I like, and a nice amount of char. We got the roasted sage and it was excellent! Nice addition to the neighborhood 👍

This place is over priced and the food is pretty ordinary. I ordered a $19 personal pizza but it wasn't creamy. The crust was big. Probably the least value pizza I've ever had.
I came here with friends because District across street was packed and out of seats. Won't come here again.

Really nice pizza and pasta spot right on 9th Street. Funky old building with some great interior features, and the lunch menu was very complete with apps, mains as well as cocktails. Everyone in our good sized party love the food, especially the butternut squash soup and pizza dishes. Service was very solid, and while it was not cheap it was a good value for what you get. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this for a great lunch spot.

As far as food, it was pretty cool. Would've preferred a crispier crust but the pizza was good. Service on the other hand, not so much. While the host immediately took care of our table wobble, it took a while before the server came to take our order & didn't do the best job checking on us through the night. I think we came on an off night though because we only dae the host, a server & a bartender on the floor. I'd go again but wouldn't go out of my way.

Good fried sage pizza with sausage. Pizza easily feeds 2 or 3 , and large Ceasar salad feeds 2 or 3 as a first be course. Service good. Bar atmosphere. Small restaurant so reservations recommended. Limited street parking. Easy walk about 2 blocks from the Oakland Courtyard Marriott hotel.

Awesome Pizza place in Old Oakland. Shot up to near the top of my favorite wood-fired pizzas in the area. Crisp thin crust with just enough chew. Sauce was bright and fresh. Kids love the homemade lime cordial soda. Salami calabrian chili pizza was spicy and flavorful. Lemon ricotta donuts were a great finish and they serve my favorite brand coffee, Red Bay.

Tasty, but everything's small. The pizza is for one to one and a half people, and costs $20. It's pretty good though. I had the benchmark with sausage. Cocktail was also good, as were brussel sprouts... Just... Much less food than I thought i was buying.
