"They speak of my drinking, but never of my thirst." - Your Mom I came here on a Wednesday afternoon, and on Wednesday afternoons I like to GET WET. Bobby G's promised cold beer, a tasty slice, and a congenial locale where I could drunkenly wallow in the regret of my past decisions and self destructive tendencies. But the booze and food were so good that I didn't have time to face my inner demons nor confront the many warning signs of my growing alcoholism. As a recovering sex addict, the delectable curry pizza awokened my loins in a way that will surely result in additional trips to my therapist and long winter nights tucked into bed with nothing but my right hand and a free 30-day trial to the kindle edition of Self magazine. And what better way to wash down said slice than with a wide and finely curated selection of cold craft brews? The Ancient Greeks once spoke of ambrosia as the nectar of the gods, a drink capable of conferring god-like longevity to all who tasted its sweet embrace. But they're also super dead now and used to wipe their ass with stones and broken pots. Your old gods are dead. Long live beer. Long live Bobby G's. read more

My husband and I were visiting Berkely with our young children for the day, when he suggested stopping by Bobby G's pizza. I was expecting a standard pizza place, and being vegetarian I figured that I would end up ordering a plain cheese or margherita pizza as usual. I was extremely surprised when I reviewed the extensive list of vegetarian options on the menu. We could not make up our minds so we ordered one pie consisting of 1/2 arugula and cheese and the other 1/2 roasted chili peppers pie..... completely out of this world. Although I am very conscious about portion control I found myself going back for seconds and thirds today and am still dreaming about the pizza. On top of that the staff was very kind, especially when my toddler son found the playing cards and jenga blocks and threw them all over the floor. Thank you all for being so understanding and patient. We live about 1 hour from Berkeley but I definitely plan to return to Bobby G's in the near future. Maybe next time we will try the Nutella and banana pie. If you like pizza (and who doesn't) I highly recommend this place - it is certainly worth the drive. read more

I discovered this place through an email I got from the Berkeley Rep (another of my favorites places, which apparently these guys support... very cool!). I stopped in one night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were offering live music. The guy's name was Steve Freund. Never heard of him before, but I'll be damned if he wasn't one of the best blues guitarists I have ever heard! While I was there, the owner (Bobby G) got up and played harmonic... pretty awesome! What an absolute treat. I sat at the bar, ate a couple fantastic slices, and sampled their beers on tap. As a business student at Haas, I'm confident that these guys are on to something great here! Next Sunday I will bring some friends and order a specialty pie. If their standard slice was any indication of how good the specialty pie will be, I believe I just found my new favorite pizza joint. read more

Bobby G's is a great addition to the downtown Berkeley food scene! Fresh, organic ingredients, vegan optons, and a meat lovers pie to die for! Truly something for everyone. Their space is big, warm, and clean and the staff is very friendly. I've been here a few times for lunch and dinner already, and it is quickly becoming my favorite food spot in downtown Berkeley. The only bad thing is that they don't serve beer and wine yet, but from the sign in their window, it appears to be coming soon. Can't really hold that against them though... my husband works for the city, and I know how difficult he can be. :) Update 2/2/08: They've been serving beer and wine for a while now. Great selection and decent prices on wine, and good beers on tap. Last time we were in, they happened to have a jazz trio playing. Nice touch! read more

Bobby G's is a combination pizzeria, sports bar and music venue. The food is good and they have a decent collection of beers. You can order the pizza with vegetarian options, including soy cheese. There are several large screen TVs, always showing 2-3 different sporting events. Some evenings feature live music; the musicians are quite accomplished, with the occasional big name dropping in to the open mic session. One evening featured a trio of very talented Berkeley High jazz players, who were about to leave for college (two of them headed for Berklee College of Music in Boston.) There is free WiFi and it works well. I give Booy G's 5 stars because of the overall casual and fun vibe. The crowd is for the most part very fun. I also like that Bobby Gs is close to BART and stays open until 11:00pm. read more

Beer, pizza, coffee, and plenty of room. This is what I dream of for downtown Berkeley. The menu has grown to ridiculous proportions since I began going to Bobby G's regularly (and I've been going for a while), but the pizza and crostini are my favorite items. Get the crostini with the goat cheese and avocado, and you'll have a religious/sexual experience at your table. For me, Bobby G's is perfect whether I want to take friends, have a meeting with co-workers, drink beer and study (because where else can you do that?), or get some coffee to stay up. If you're lucky, the owner might even bust out his harmonica to play the blues with one of the live bands. Yeah, the music is awesome too. read more

Definitely one of my favorite spots near campus for food, drink and some time to myself. They have a very comfortable spot with free wifi, local artwork, great music, and a pretty impressive beer and wine list. The staff is very friendly, which makes them stand out in a world that seems to have lost sight of good customer service. And the food is FANTASTIC! You can tell these guys don't take any shortcuts. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and filling. My personal favorites are the baby greens salad, the argula and cheese pizza, and the bolognese pasta. It's also one of the few places open late, so it quickly became my favorite place for a late night meal after class. read more

One of my favorite pizza places in Berkeley so far. I give them a solid 5 stars based on the whole package - food, beer, service and atmoshere. My friend and I have eaten here several times, and it's consistenly a good experience. The tomato sauce is my favorite thing about the pizzas - very fresh and organic too. Thin NY style pie, good selection of toppings, and one of the few place I've ever seen that offers fresh whole milk mozzerralla. With a great selection of draft beers on tap, it's a great place to watch the game or listen to music. I'm bummed that I missed the recent jazz festival there, but from what I've heard, more live music will be offered soon. Very cool. read more

This place got a great review in the 96 Hour section of the SF Chronicle. What really caught my attention was the mouth-watering picture of their margherita. For a classic pizza, why is it so damn hard to find a good one in the Bay Area?! Anyway, I don't live in Berkeley, but I finally decided to make a pit stop here on a recent outing to the Greek. And, of course, I ordered the margherita. It was as delectible as the picture I saw in the Chron. They use fresh moz and they don't cook the basil!! Yipee! Finally, a place that gets the margherita right. read more

I went hear on my lunch break ordered 2 pepperoni and sausage slices . When I got back to my office I immediately noticed how the sausages seemed undercooked in color and just tossed around onto the slice . Also that there was if any no cheese on the pizzas at all . Seemed like only my pizza came out this way others dining in the restaurant pizza look well taken care of looked like your normal pizza cheesy and stacked nicely with toppings . I'm completely unsatisfied with what I received in exchange for my money . read more

My friend discovered this place, which was giving away free slices for a whole day before they opened. My girlfriend and I went in and shared a mushroom pie and a four cheese pie. Both were excellent. Even though mushroom is generally my favortie pie, the four cheese was a pleasant surprise.... light on cheese but big on flavor. Their crust and sauce are as good, if not better, than Arinell... but the atmosphere is light years ahead of Arinell. Nice service, big comfortable place, and good music. read more

I love this place. My husband and I started coming here when another spot around the corner wouldn't put on the football game we wanted to watch. We came to Bobby G's and never looked back. They are always super-accommodating about switching a tv to a particular game, and very gracious to folks holding down a table until the rest of the party arrives. Really friendly people working here, and the menu has a lot of delicious items. So grateful for a spot like this in downtown Berkeley. Thanks Bobby G! read more

We went here last night after reading the reviews here, and really enjoyed the food. Pizza was great, perfect thin, crunchy crust and the sauces were yummy on both pizzas we had. Robert, the owner was there and was very friendly and assured us that beer and wine were coming, (yeah!) and eventually they will be having live music as well. This could be a very cool place to hang out at soon! Looking forward to seeing how this new place transforns over the next few months! read more

Ended up going to Bobby Gs for a crochet club today. I must say it was one of the most unexpexpected spots for a crochet club. Meeting. The place was more like a sports bar/pizzeria but the setting was very welcoming. The host Jenny was very cool and nice! Food was good, Thejr pizza slice is huge and toppings selection was very gourmet. I am definately coming back for the next crochet club meeting read more

My go to Pizza joint. Great to go for lunch or to scream at one of the many TV's during sports games. The open Mic are great too. Besides the food being on point and the wide varieties of my favorite beers (Pliny of course) the staff and the owner there make you feel like part of the family. I'll always recommend this place over the others. Well done Bobby G.... read more

Stopped in here around 7pm with my 4 year old on a busy trivia night. Got a quick slices and a Caesar salad at the bar. Fun and busy atmosphere that reminded me of my own 20s in bars in New York. The food was not spectacular but it was decent and both my son and I enjoyed it. read more

My second time and it's either my standards got higher or it was a bad night on their part. Yes the pizza was very thin and I could practically eat the whole pie by myself, but something was lacking this time, flavoring perhaps? It's just not as good this time. read more
