Very solid place…read more Pizze is absolutely a step above Dominos, Mountain Mike's etc. Noticeably. Their sausage tastes more homemade, the crust actually has decent texture, and the cheese/sauce is in the right amounts. Ladies who work there are super nice and smiley. Good people. I don't like it as much as Zach's or Little Star, but if you want neighborhood thin crust, and can't bring yourself to ordering the same chain crap, this place gets it done. They also sell slices, so its a good place for lunch

Oh my goodness!!!!!! My mother and I were craving pizza, so we found this place on the Slice app…read more We decided to order the Large Republic Pizza Combo with extra cheese and 12 wings (fried hard) with BBQ sauce. Everything was so tasty in every single bite. The pizza had an amazing flavor. They were generous with the extra cheese as well, I was able to taste it. The wings were deliciously crispy. I liked how they put the bbq sauce on the side so the wings wouldn't get soggy. I would keep on supporting this business! Thanks for the amazing food.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for lunch after stocking up at Monterey Market. I'm luckily…read morewithin walking distance but parking may be tricky for those driving in. Ordered slices of pepperoni, Julian, and Spinaci Aglio. All were amazing. Thin, crisp crust, tangy pizza sauce, good olive oil, great cheese pull. Simple ingredients coming together for a satisfying and piping hot bite. Pepperoni drips with the golden orange oil, characteristic of a solid pep slice. Spinaci has just enough garlic that works perfectly with the mild spinach. The star of Julian is the near crunchy kale complemented by pops of sausage. Place your order inside and pick up at the window just outside when they call out your order. There's a park a block or so down the road that's a great place to stop by and enjoy your slice if the small bench in front is filled up.

20-year loyal customer shocked by the increasingly rude front staff…read more We have been coming to Gioia Pizzeria for over 20 years. It's our neighborhood go-to, and we eat here at least once a week because the pizza is truly excellent. For nearly two decades, the staff was always friendly, but over the last couple of years, the front-of-house service has drastically gone downhill. The people taking the orders consistently seem like they don't want to be there. I've been overlooking the cold attitude for a while now because we love the food, but my experience today was the last straw. I ordered a whole pie and politely asked to have it double-sliced. The cashier looked visibly annoyed by a simple, standard request. It got worse when the pizza was ready: after she handed me the box, I kindly asked for a few paper plates. She literally threw the plates at me with a glaring look of unhappiness. I was honestly in shock by her behavior. Stunned, I asked her what her name was, and she flat-out refused to tell me. There is absolutely no reason to treat a regular, polite customer with that level of hostility over plates and a name request. I believe people need to be held accountable for how they treat others, especially in customer service. Looking at other recent reviews, I see that I'm definitely not the only one feeling this way. Gioia has been one of our absolute favorite pizzerias in Berkeley for over 20 years, but it's a shame to see a great neighborhood spot ruined by the attitude of the people taking orders. I am truly hoping management and the owners will read this and take real action. The food is still great, but the toxic energy at the front counter is ruining the experience, and loyal customers shouldn't be treated like an inconvenience. This incident happened today at 1130am.

At this point, they know my name. LOL…read more My family and I are here atleast 1/2 every week or two! The reason is beyond the pizza always being cooked perfectly! It's their customer service! Whether I call in the order or go in person to pick up, whoever is standing behind the counter is always so kind, attentive and shows appreciation for making a purchase with them! THAT is rare these days and THAT is why we keep coming back!

The delivery driver who had just delivered pizza from this exact pizza place location, to my best…read morefriend's house in Richmond a couple days ago, was very rude, and didn't let my friend sign a reciept, and get a customer copy. Very unacceptable! Don't be going to people's address with some kind of punka** attitude about the front gate, or gate code not working, acting like as if they're responsible to fix the gate. Who does that delivery driver think he is? If there's a problem with the front gate, or gate code of a condo, or apartment. You respectfully with at least some sort of common sense, let the resident know, or if possible, go to the manager's office (if and when someone is there) which the manager can contact maintenance, rather than you come busting out your car with a stupid attitude about it. It's not my friend's responsibility to fix the gate, so informing the manager's office is a better option. I swear I better not see that happen again whenever I visit my friend, and we just happen to order pizza again. Got it? I hope I made myself clear.

I always wanted to try this place. Why did I wait so long?…read more Halal pizza intrigued me. A pizza and ice cream shop intrigued me. The name Q intrigued me--hopefully it's not associated with that other Q..... They have mediterranean food. So I guess they put some that on top of the pizza and YUMMM!!! Who knew lamb could be so good on pizza! I think it's like lamb kabob. Or is it lamb kebap? Or is it gyro? But it's gooooood! It's a good pizza. The strength is in the topping selection. You kinda just gotta go and check it out. Limited seating. Free parking on the street. Close to freeway. Easy walk to lots of other shops and services. Super friendly service. If you eat specially prepared food like halal for Muslim or other reasons, but you love pizza, this place is for you. He said all the meet is hand cut. I didn't check out the bathroom. I'll go back. It's already like my second favorite pizza around. Too bad they don't have gluten free GF for my wife allergic to gluten. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

My friends and I ordered a cheese pizza from Q'S Halal Pizza with lamb along with an order of…read morewings, and the food was not enjoyable. The pizza was rolled very thin, but there was almost zero rise in the crust at all: the crust was dense and not airy. If I were to guess, the pizza dough had probably been sitting out for far too long, leading to the dough being way over-proofed. The cubes of lamb topping the pizza had a strange sourness to it and were incredibly dry. Similarly, the wings were also overcooked and very dry, and didn't really have much flavor to them at all. At $33.99 for an X-Large pizza (before tax and tip), you might as well head over to June's pizza in West Oakland to get a pizza for the same price. This was seriously one of the most disappointing pizza's I've eaten in all of 2025.

I came in for a pizza by the slice and decided to eat it in the restaurant. They call this 'Hangout…read morePizza' but I actually found it not a pleasant place to hang out. The guy working here didn't ask me if I wanted my slice to go or for here and just put it in a to go box. Eating it in the restaurant was not pleasant as the guy had DJ music blasting across the restaurant while he was working in the kitchen. He should have offered to turn it down for me. The pizza itself was just okay, about what you would get at like 7-11,v definitely not as good as a slice from the Costco food court. They only had cheese and pepperoni by the slice and I selected pepperoni. They may have good pizza here if you custom order your toppings, I don't know. I'm certainly not rushing to return back here but am glad I gave them a try out. Low customer service effort here.

My wife and I recently had the chance to try out a pizza from Pie On The Fly when we stopped by…read moreGreat Notion in Berkeley. Between the two of us, we shared "The Bee's Knees," which had a tomato base, mozzarella, Italian sausage, soppressata, Mike's hot honey, ricotta dollaps, and fresh basil ($24). Overall, a very delicious pizza: perfect balance of sweet and savory. You can never go wrong topping a pizza with a drizzle of Mike's hot honey. For about $30 after tax and tip, it's certainly not a cheap pizza -- especially for its size, but consider it a donation to support your local artisans. The dough was rolled out very thinly and evenly, and the crust puffed up nicely and had a good chew to it. If you ever have a chance to see Pie On The Fly at a pop-up somewhere, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. Their pizzas are tasty and the staff could not be nicer.

Secondly, this guys quite the pizza artisan! He makes his own sauce and dough (which is outstanding you can taste the water is perfect! And all the toppings are fresh, delicious and awesome combinations! I highly recommend to start with the Marguerite Pie then graduate to the Mikes Hot Honey Sopresatta or with the White Pie! Either way your pie will be made to order with love and finesse! We moved to Florida but I still follow them on Instagram and it sucks because I'm dying to taste a pie like his not here and there's no such a thing! Some may think the pies are pricey but no one will think they aren't worth it. You get what you pay for and you'll pay lots more if you walk into a restaurant and who knows if your till get this much flavor, texture and love! Support the artisans in San Francisco !!! And enjoy one of the best pies in the city while you're at it! It's worth it! Can't wait to come to one of their pop ups when we visit home!
