It was a ghost town on a Tuesday night. Looked like someone with a mental illness had been tasked with redecorating. What happened to this place?, I thought. (Figured out later that it's changed owners again.) I ordered a The House IPA and a slice of pepperoni. Totally what I wanted. It hit the spot. I wanted a second of both but staff was socializing, so I had to wait. Once I drained my beer, staff was there immediately to check on me. Second round delivered, consumed, and then I was on my way. I miss Bobby G's from back in the day: put together, crowded, good eats and drinks. I'm getting old. But the pepperoni slice was fire. And they got a good tip. read more

Stopped by Bobby G's before a Cal basketball game. I arrived at Bobby G's around 5pm on a Tuesday night and was surprised by how quiet things were inside of the restaurant. I dont think there were more than five people in there. This had me a little worried. My daughter and I decided on a small cheese pizza. After a short wait, our pizza was ready and brought to us. While taking our slices from the pan we noticed how much cheese was on the pizza, so we were off to a good start. Upon first bite, there was a nice crunch of buttery crust, followed by just the right amount of sauce and gobs of tasty seasoned cheese. After finishing all but one slice of our small pizza my daughter and I were both extremely pleased with our decision to stop by Bobby G's before the game. read more

At $5 a special slice, I decided to stop in this pizza joint after attending a festival nearby. The solo bartender and waiter was patient as I decided what to order. I chose the special slice today - pepperoni, olives, and garlic in traditional marinara type sauce and cheese. I paired that with a can of Coke. Mid-day, this place wasn't very busy. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, benches, and bar seats to choose from for seating. And although a football game was on the tvs above the bar, the noise level was decent. The pizza was ready quickly and greasy perfectly seasoned deliciousness! $9.25 for the whole shabang, not bad. read more

I stopped here after work to meet a friend for dinner. We ordered pizza by the slice, I had mushroom and they had cheese, we shared an order of chicken wings and a Caesar salad. I really liked their Caesar salad, and will return to order that. We each ordered an IPA to drink, they have a nice beer selection on tap. The football KC vs. Chargers game was playing on the big TV screens. While we were there a dj was setting up and people started singing karaoke. This seems like a nice spot close to the UC Berkeley campus that would attract lots of students and people who want a place to watch the game! read more

Second time at Bobby G's. First time was December for concert at UC theater as was this latest visit (Exodus!!!). Very close to theater, welcoming and friendly staff. Buddy ordered large pizza with salami, olives, and Italian sausage. Came out amazing with excellent crust that was perfect throughout. Was a bit big for two of us but plan was to save half for the three hour drive home to Fresno. As it would happen, I have a leg in a brace and use a wheelchair as well as crutches and the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Often available in case I needed a helping hand. Great beer selection as well. Frankly, I'm trying to think up an excuse to come back even without a concert there! read more

Bobby G's Pizzeria - Ricotta Slice of Pizza with a house beer - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Ambience is to be expected for a pub next to a music venue, lively and fun they were playing sports when my wife and I attended. The brews are great. I had the passion of the fruit super delicious. Excellent pour. However, the food was truly abysmal. My wife got the basil pesto gnocchi, and I got a simple chicken Alfredo. Both of our dishes were around $17/18after we added chicken. Which the chicken was your typical Sysco food systems pre-cut chicken that was terribly, terribly dry and unseasoned. The pasta was overcooked and Alfredo sauce tasted more like pasta water than Alfredo. Great staff, other patrons were wonderful, just truly terrible food. However, some of the pizzas looked good that others got around us, but unfortunately, we won't be able to try it on this visit. read more

This place is infested with roaches. I don't mean there's one roach occasionally which would be understandable for a joint in downtown Berkeley. I mean they have a serious problem. I used to come to the bar for their popular trivia night and it was an awesome place to hang out. One night in 2025 I went there and sat down and saw about 10 cockroaches in the hour I was there. I pointed it out really discreetly and politely so as not to freak other patrons out. The staff's response told me everything I needed to know. They were used to it. Get help, guys. read more

Love to come here for pizza, trivia nights, and the community art nights with Jenny! Honestly, this isn't a spot I'd come to regularly since it's a bit out of the way for me, but the events combined with the food mean that it's a great place to meet up with friends. read more

This place is super fun! They have so many special events almost each and every evening (BINGO, karaoke, etc.), but what you really have to come for is TRIVIA NIGHT on Wednesdays. Free to play, and it's super clever and well done the way the rounds work. Make sure you have a good team name. And get there early because it fills up before the game starts at 7. Pizza is good but make sure you get the stuffed breadsticks which are AMAZING. I also love the Bobby G's salad. read more

A real enough restaurant on University avenue. Came here for a pint of beer in 2010. This decade I only got pizza here, but there's other stuff on the menu. Most of the time it works talking to the people who work here. Friendly people are usually patrons at Bobby G's. read more

The chicken wings were the worst I've ever had. Gave me horrible diarrhea. The food is school cafeteria at best. Staff is cool though. Eat here if you want to spend copious amounts of time on the toilet with stomach cramps. read more

been hearing pliny is coming back for 6 months. it's not coming back. food fell way off, the staff vibes are weird like they are being held against their will, and i think they are down to like two people working there because everyone keeps leaving because of the working conditions used to be really good back in the way, but i don't think i will go in and try again. especially after seeing that review that one girl said about the wings giving her the shits mwuahaha read more

I love, love, love coming to bobby g's! The pizza is sooo yummy and I always look forward to the amazingly fun craft nights put on by the super sweet Jenny! It's always a fun time coming here, the vibes are so friendly and relaxed, especially on event nights--it's a great third space to be in and meet lots of great people! read more

I am 82 yers old and love this place. You can get a gruyere or goat cheese pizza and just about any topping you can think of. Of course it's expensive for these ingredients. This is hands down the best place to watch a game from any seat in the house. Wall to wall to wall to wall big screens. Two bars with great TVs. An awful lot of college kids but almost nobody would object. Stay away on trivia night because you won't find a seat. read more

pleasantly surprised about the taste! not at all greasy, excessively cheesy, or oily. tasted very comforting and seasoning was good. price was $17 before tax which isn't horrible. also love how much the place hosts events. haven't gone to any yet but definitely plan to :) read more

Bobby G's looks like a casual fun place to have a meal with friends and family. The menu is pretty basic Italian foods you would expect at a casual dining restaurant. It has tv's around to watch a game and enjoy your food. For me, the food was just ok. I did not really enjoy my food. I ordered the chicken Parmigiana, stuffed breadsticks, and the Ham & Gruyere Panini. The best out of the 3 was the panini. It had thick slices of ham and crisp bread. It was a little dry and could have used more of the garlic aioli. The Chicken Parmigiana looked great with a good sized cutlet but it just lacked in flavor. As for the breadsticks, it looked great but once again lacked in flavor. I love stuffed breadsticks or stuffed crust but this was just bad. It was too much bread versus stuffing and the cheese had no flavor. TBH, Pizza Hut's stuffed crust was far superior to what I ordered here. It also did not help that this was the last to be served to us despite it being a "starter." I asked about it after having been served the main dishes and although they said that it sometimes takes a while, I frankly think that they simply forgot. If the STARTER takes that long, first they should inform the customer upon ordering AND they should perhaps ask if they want their main courses first AND they should perhaps not list it as a STARTER. The staff were all very friendly but just lacking in service. No one checks on you nor provide refills on drinks. It was more self service in that I had to repeatedly go up to the bar for help. Overall, the food was barely ok and the non-existent service, I would not come back here. read more

Our English Language school in Berkeley is always looking for fun, easy-going dining options for our students, and I have to say Bobby G's really hit the mark. As international students, price is important, but so is ambiance and space for larger groups like ours. Our group had a great experience here, and we really appreciated that the team went above and beyond to make our visit special! We'll definitely be back - great service, solid prices and plenty of space for us to hang out and enjoy their yummy pizzas! We particularly loved the many options on offer. Thanks Bobby G's!! read more

I haven't been in years which is somewhat surprising. I took out the fried margarita pizza last night with ranch dressing. I was extremely tired last night after driving in from LA. They made it with tomato sauce and no fresh sliced tomatoes. Although, I wasn't expecting that, it was still good. I don't know how they make the dough but it's somewhere between pizza bread and a deep fried wonton. Just wonderful. I needed comfort so I also had the house-made ranch dressing which I promptly dropped outside. They gave me a new one and it was probably one of the best things that happened to me yesterday. I know it was a small gesture but I wanted to cry. Good people, good service. read more

Ordered a large pizza was the definitely OVERPRICED . I ended up paying about 50$ for a large pizza. I will not be coming here again. It was nice to give it a try but there was nothing special about the pizza . I have gone to places that make their own mozzarella from scratch still the pizza is not as expensive. The big man who was serving us the food was full of spirit . He was outgoing and made us feel welcome . He's the only reason this place got an extra star. read more

I called to order for pick up, 20 minutes later when I came, the order was not ready. I waited for another 30 minutes just for panini, ridiculous. It also did not come with salad as mentioned in the menu. When I asked the server, he just said that it did not come with salad anymore and the meat also so little. I had this panini back few years ago and it was delicious, lots of meat and the bread were pressed properly. I was told that the owner has changed, no wonder the quality so bad. read more

Food and service were great! Plus Bingo was super fun, the host is very cute! Will be back!

The wings are to die for! I asked them for the best beer and they delivered. It was called "the house". Great experience, staff is very friendly as well. Live music was playing when I got there it felt like I was at music festival or something. I also ordered a pizza the dough reminds me of something I ate in Italy...something similar to Blaze pizza here. I didn't care for the Kalamata olives on my topping. but all else was excellent. Would definitely one back! read more

The service was great. It's a great ambiance, pizza/beer and game night vibes. The staff is really nice. The pizza was okay, nothing special. The salads are really good. Gnocchi was delicious. Wings, get buffalo wings, don't get the garlic parmesan, it's not what you would expect. read more

Went to the crochet meet up today hosted at Bobby G's and got a slice of the Margarita pizza and it was delicious. It was fast and easy to order. Also there are plenty of TV, if you are a sports fan it's a great place to catch a game. They also had great music playing! read more

4/5 for food but minus a star because of service (made us wait 20 extra minutes in the rain because they forgot to tell the kitchen our order..). We recently went there and ordered an 18 inch Combo Pizza by the door on a rainy, cold day. I would have given this place 4 stars if the employee who took our order did not forget about us and hand our order to the kitchen! It took us 20 minutes standing outside under their outside patio roof (still was SO COLD btw) until we decided to ask about our order. Only then did we see another employee look at the register and then hand over a receipt to the kitchen! Then we got our pizza in 5 minutes...[unless ofc the pizza actually had to bake for 25 minutes ..which I do doubt] As for food... I wouldn't say the pizza toppings were amazing but I would say that I loved their pizza dough/crust! I would come next time for the crust alone but I would only order online now! read more

Bobby G's is a Berkeley legend. Came here numerous times over the years and never had a bad experience. Their pizza is on point, surely one of the best in the area, especially for those who like it NY Style. If that is not enough reason to visit Bobby G, there is always Pliny on tap and a hand-curated selection of other craft beers. Great place to watch the Warriors game too. Whoever said pizza and beer is a perfect pairing, was not lying. They probably went to Bobby G's before :) read more

Bobby Gs has been a staple at Cal and has a great selection of beer in addition to the delicious pizza. They are lucky enough to have Pliny the Younger when it comes out each year. Their pizzas are delicious and the owners take care in ensuring that you have a great experience. They're not a big chain and Randeep, the owner, strives to make sure every guest eats - and drinks - well. For instance, they are willing to open during off hours if you want to watch college football and can bring a crew with you. Please support this small business: I'd hate to see this place face any remote threat of getting replaced by a Round Table. read more

Feels like Friday- slice of pizza and Pliny the Younger on tap! Heard that Pliny the Younger was making a special Valentine's Day appearance and had to stop by to celebrate!

This was my first time coming to Bobby's. We were going to a show at the UC theater. Thinking this place would be packed unfortunately I can see why it wasn't right before a large show. You walk in and there is really no signage or direction in what you're supposed to do, where you're supposed to go? The menus are above you and that's great, but where is the cashier? Waiter? Etc? Can I sit at the bar? Are there reservations for tables? It was all unknown. We finally found a person and ordered at the bar. We were given a number and sat down. I went with two slices of cheese because I'm of the notion "you can't fuck that up right?" Wrong. Was not a fan. The crust tasted burnt on the underside of the pizza and the usually fluffy pizza handle we all love, was rock hard. The cheese was limited and honestly it came out so fast that I think they just have cheese on deck and then they throw whatever toppings on and reheat it. It wasn't great. I can't say that I'd come back here if there was another show. I get why the Thai restaurant next door had a wait over this place. Hoping for better next time! read more
