The Bay Area is not lacking for pizza places. In fact I would argue we have plenty of options unfortunately most of them fall short in the quality, innovation and price point. Hooray for Casa Barotti ! For me it checks all the boxes. They have a daily happy hour from 4-6:30 PM. Seating out front that is on a busy but roomy street / sidewalk location in a nice area of Berkeley and the pizza is top notch. It reminded me of the pizza joints in Rome that had long trays of oblong pizza / focaccia with interesting toppings and high quality ingredients. Happy hour - offers up a nice free platter of olives, hard chunks of Parmesan cheese, some typical twisted crackers and a sample of pizza slices - two smaller pieces per person. Tasty and nice ! We ordered a few more squares of pizza - one w roasted eggplant and olives and the second slices with arugula and aged Parma ham sliced on top. Both had a nicely fluffy and airy focaccia base with a thoughtful selection of fresh and tasty toppings. Two of us ate well and to be eligible for the happy hour we ordered one small glass of beer on tap (an IPA and a Lager) for $4/each...which got us the happy hour deal/platter. All in, figuring $6-7 per square of pizza we spent less than $30 including a tip. My kinda happy hour ! We will definitely be back. Be aware they close at 6:30 PM so not a late night spot. Check it out for lunch or happy hour for sure ! We will return for sure. Ciao Bella ! read more

I tried a slice at a party and it was sooooo good me and my partner had to go get more for dinner. Alessandro (the owner) is incredibly friendly, warm and attentive. As an European myself, this feels like a piece of Italy in a bite. Most definitely high quality focaccia pizza in Berkeley for an inexpensive price. read more

Eating here reminded me of living in Roma again. Verrry authentic and gives the neighborhood of College Ave a community feel. The owner will chit chat with you and check in with you. I went for their Apertivo and they had a nice wine selection along with a variety of focaccia to pair alongside it. Menu changes daily just like in Italy. I'm certainly going to be a regular here! read more

Finally the typical Italian happy hour!! A friend of mine told me about this new place and I was super curious to try it because of her good review. For this reason, my husband and I spent the last Saturday afternoon in Berkeley. We went to the "Maker's Row Artist&Fleas", then we visited the other shopping stores and we went to Casa Barotti at 5pm. The place is like a typical Italian "spizzicheria" where you can see several slices of focaccia or Pizza directly behind a glass. They have too many types that it's really hard to choose, so if you want to try something you have to come between 4-6.30pm and enjoy the aperitivo formula (complimentary pizza e focaccia tasting with glass of wine or beer). Trust me because the food was literally delicious!! I'm a huge fan of Farinata, so I try it and it was really good. They also prepared arancini, scarola, panini etc. For Italian people like me, this place is like a fortune because it brings you at home. But also it's the only place where you can drink a good wine and eat food for free. read more

YUM!! Great place to come and get a bite to eat or get something to munch on later. We got the focaccia rossa, the focaccia with potato and fontina, the margherita and the san daniele (which I think was just the margherita with prosciutto) and the arancini. Yum loved the potato and fontina. My son loved the margherita which he seamlessly finished. The sliced are pretty big like the size of a half sheet of paper. Wasn't a big fan of the rossa which was just focaccia with tomato sauce. Loved their flavored sodas. We got the pomegranate and the blood orange. They're also organic and super delicious. The arancini we left to eat at home. I honestly wasn't a fan of it. I was expecting it to be crispy but it was just mushy and too cheesy for my taste. They warm up the pizzas and the focaccias but don't do the same for the arancini. Located on the Oakland side of College Ave. Parking isn't too bad to find. It will be street parking. Very clean and professional inside. Though I would say the signage for the different offerings could be more clear. Sometimes I felt it was unclear which item was which. I don't remember seeing a sign for the arancini, which I ended up calling the ball thingies since I couldn't remember at the time what it was called. I feel they're overpriced, it was about $50 for five items and two drinks. Worth a try. I would come again if in the area. read more

I love the food here as well as the concept. I've been several times and never disappointed in the quality of the food. The last time my partner and I went we were the only two inside and ordered lasagna and a salad, the salad came out quickly. We waited another thirty minutes before checking on the lasagne - they had forgotten us while we were the sole customers in the room. I understand accidents happen, but it would've been nice to receive an acknowledgment of the mistake in some way. However, the food is excellent and we'll be back. read more

When I read Ted R's review last week of Casa Barotti I bookmarked it for when I was next in that neighborhood. The opportunity presented itself today when I was on my way home from visiting Alan. Rather than taking my usual route home I took a relatively short detour and found a parking spot on Alcatraz close to College then walked first to La Farine where I bought their last loaf of apricot soda bread. After that I walked back to Casa Barotti, which is just south of the Peet's on the corner of College and Alcatraz. I walked in and a pleasant young man helped me. I chose a square of Capricciosa based on Ted's review and a square of Margherita. The man offered to heat it up for me but I told him I would finish it at home on the pizza stone. I asked how long and at what temperature and he said he would give me written directions. Then he carefully placed one square in a square takeout container, put a circular piece of baking paper on top of the square, then the other square and finally another piece of paper, closed the container and slapped a slicker on top w/ directions. Nicely done. When it was dinner time I preheated the oven and stone to 400° and baked both pieces of pizza for 6 minutes. I started w/ the Margherita and thought it was just OK. I ate maybe half and put it aside to try the Capricciosa, which I liked much better, as I suspected I might. The crust on both pizzas is light but crispy on the bottom. The Capricciosa is topped w/ San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, Cotto ham, mushrooms. artichokes and kalamata olives. Just the kind of thing I love. I augmented the pizza w/ a variety of salads from Picnic and it was a good dinner. read more

The food was delicious and reminded me of when I was back in Italy in the middle of the day enjoying everything the country had to offer. This really took me back to that time as the food displayed is exactly like in Roma and tastes exactly the same as it did there. I was planning to go back to Italy because of how much I missed the food but this place may have just saved me a plane ticket. The service was great and they were very nice and accommodating. The interior would transport you back to that time as well. One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a while. Grazie! read more

Good pizza and salad for a reasonable price. The food itself is 5 stars. The produced are picked with care and it truly felt like eating in Italy - food wise-. The atmosphere inside was nice and I loved that they also offer a couple of outdoor seating. Now the service.... This is a tip on the iPad before you eat place and tipping starts at 18%. I also wan to say that the staff looked very young and they were very nice, perhaps their 1st job. My complaints however is that 1. Our party of 3 seated outside and waited for what seemed forever before one of us went in and we realized we had to order inside, the waiter saw us and walked by us but never said anything. 2. We also had to go and ask for silverware, the waiter brought our food but never brought the forks. 3. The water fountain was empty and stayed empty during our lunch and we were not given cups for our drinks (cans of San Pellegrino). There are also no Parmesan cheese or high chairs, just FYI. read more

The food here is well-cooked but under-seasoned. Bread has great texture. Tomato sauces and cheese are fresh and clean.

This jewel of a place fills the senses with Italian goodness. The vibe and food are the most authentic part of this delicious establishment. The owners take great pride and care in what they do, undoubtedly. Fresh daily focaccia, pizzas and hard-to-find-in-America specialties displayed on the counter. My fav is the Puttanesca pizza with San Marzano tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers and anchovies. Tangy, salt, umami all at the same time on a light, soft and crispy-bottomed crust. Can't wait for them to open up for indoor dining. For now, stopping by for a delicious and satisfying bite will have to suffice! read more

The city of Berkeley has brought good pizza recently to San Francisco like Rose Pizzeria. Going to Berkeley I have experienced great pizza places which are not located in SF. Berkeley has some great pizza places such as the Cheeseboard , Pizzeria da Laura and for the best Chicago style pizza at Zachary's Pizza ( actual fresher ingredients than most of Chicago )which both have no locations in SF. There a different pizza spot in Berkeley which serves fresh pizza with local ingredients and there is no spot in SF and it's called Sliver pizza. On a Summer day stroll in the sun in Berkeley I landed at the Telegraph Avenue. Inside there are plenty of seating and they do not accept cash. I ordered their POD also known as Pizza Of the Day. It had the Mushroom, red onions, green scallions , and it had a lemon zest which was sour like some in SF. It was a little cheesy and the sourdough crust was soft. It was tasty and you can taste the field to table ingredients in the pizza. They also have interesting pizza like the Cherry Corn Pizza like I saw on my social media feed. When in Berkeley you must try Sliver Pizzeria. Go to Berkeley for this is a "must" because they have a sourdough "crust" is a "plus" it's not too cheesy and very delicious and leaves some pizza places in SF in the "dust" This pizza place is to eat inside , pick up, and they do "deliver" I rate it more on gold standard side than "silver" fresh ingredients from the "Salinas River" at a pizza place in Berkeley on Telegraph called "Sliver"

I went last week and they had a summer corn pizza that was loaded with juicy kernels of corn, fresh tomatoes and peppers, plus a ton of parsley for garnish. I am a corn fan so I knew I'd like this flavor. And I wasn't disappointed. Sauce: Sliver could even be more well known for its sauces. You have to try the green sauce! Perfect blend of savoriness, freshness, and a kick of heat! Location: right off the Berkeley BART station, This shop is super easy to transit to whether you're taking bus or the bart. Lots parking nearby too. Bathroom: maybe I just went too early in the day before the employees had time to clean up the bathroom, but it had no toilet paper, no seat covers, no paper towels, and the hand soap was simply in a cup that you had to dip your fingers into... kinda sus? Overall I'll definitely be going back because sliver become so popular because of their incredible pizzas and not their bathrooms!

Hi everyone, My…read morename is Sara. (I'm not a local). Not being so I decided to check this place out for a fun exotic treat.

Mind you I guess this was during final season so people steal? Wtf?!? But when we go to this place they ACCUSE ME of stealing the food even after I showed them the order and everything and what not so we had to wait for the next door dasher to literally hand me the food.

Where I found room for improvement was the other. The salads were expensive and not quite worthy. The Caesar was pretty disappointing, and I love me a Caesar salad. It didn't have enough dressing, resulting in a dry and flavorless salad. The gelato was delicious, but also an extremely small scoop for $7. The place is cute. It has some outdoor seating but the star is the downstairs area. We were a bigger party, and were able to snag a last minute reservation for 8 people in the much more casual upstairs space. The downstairs is smaller, but very mid-century modern classy with a great wooden bar, perfect for date night. Back to the pizza: It's really good. The pepperoni is delicious. We also went with a speciality pie with cured meats, arugula and hot honey and it was truly a great pizza. They offer a variety of crusts - NY style, Detroit, Sicilian and Grandma. I only tried NY style and it was so good but the others look decadently good. Prices are similar to other pizza spots, so you're paying $28-35ish for a large. They do have small available, as well. Overall, a really great downtown Berkeley spot. Great pizza, great for families, and while space is somewhat limited, it's still great for groups.

Their kitchen is pretty tiny, with maybe 1-2 chefs. I went on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait. I don't think they'd really be able to accommodate a larger party (5+ people). Their menu is kind of limited, and I wasn't really excited about their pizza offerings. They don't allow substitutions or mixing flavors (half and half), and their flavors either had meat and cheese or veggies and cheese (didn't see any that mixed meat and veggies unfortunately). They did have a few unique flavors like one that combined feta with I think it was like apricot or some fruit? We ordered 2 Pepperoni & Basil pizzas for 3 people ($24/pizza). Our waiter was nice and the pizzas came out fairly quickly. The pizza was good, but didn't stand out to me. I did like the texture of the crust (very crunchy). I probably won't be back because I prefer combo-type pizza, but it's a nice lunch or dinner spot.

I'm also very glad that the pasta portion came with a slice of garlic bread with fresh garlic on it. I would say that it was a good portion for two meals. It was affordable and good for the price.

There was no option to select a spice level when we ordered the pad kee mao, and it came out spicy. It doesnt come with basil but instead its stirfried with green beans, red pepper and tomatoes. Can't go wrong with pad thai. It was saucy with all the flavors of sweet, salty and sour. The baby back ribs are a must try! Some pieces have bones, while others do not. The meat is deep fried, but each piece is tender and juicy. It wasn't too greasy and was delicious when paired with the sweet and sour sauce. The grilled beef salad was a refreshing dish tossed with herbs, green apple and red onions in a lime and fish sauce dressing. The one downside was that the beef was a little tough.

Each slice was a testament to the dedication and skill in their craft. The toppings were not just generously applied but chosen for their complementary flavors and textures, creating a harmonious balance in every bite. The crust, perfectly cooked, provided a delightful crunch, seamlessly supporting the high-quality toppings. It's evident that great care goes into selecting each ingredient, ensuring a memorable culinary experience.

This place is great! The pizza is yummy but the real treat was the little suppli they have. The ambiance is fun and they have authentic Italian food. My only con would be that's it's super, super pricey. We went for a day lunch and it would have been nice if I didn't spend $60 plus dollars on two slices and a glass of wine. Besides that it's tasty, and the service was attentive. Great addition to the neighborhood and understand the price point for the place it's located. read more
