    My order: ⁣Cup & Crisp Pepperoni Duo⁣ Street Taco Flatbread⁣ Cheezee Bacon Rolls⁣ ⁣ What's your favorite pizza topping? ⁣ If there's a kind of pepperoni I enjoy, it's the cup and crisp kind! And Pizza Guys has perfected it! ⁣ As for the flatbread, literally think of a street taco but flat! This featured item also comes with a complimentary cute lil hot sauce. Taco Tuesday has a new buddy! ⁣ The Cheese Bacon Rolls-- oh my goodness; I should have ordered more! They were amazing!!! The dough was soft, fluffy and cheeeezeeeee! The bacon adds that extra crisp and mmmyummy to it! We brought our food to the park, (the one near the school, I forgot the name lol!), so if you need picnic food- go to PIZZA GUYS!

    Interior of Pizza Guys in Berkeley.

    Delicious gourmet pizzas at a price point that can meet every budget and prepared and baked in mere minutes, Pizza Guys is a welcome addition to the Berkeley fast casual/ budget dining scene. Located on the corner of University and San Pablo Avenues in a building that once housed Little Caesars and now has gotten a major upgrade thanks to this new franchise that recently opened. I am so pleased that the owner Ali Vahdat decided to expand his horizons and open his first of planned two franchise locations of Pizza Guys. A location that is perfect for not only Berkeley locals, but college students and faculty alike. I had the opportunity to originally check out the pizzas thanks to a special event that they hosted when they originally opened months ago and I was so impressed with the two pizza pies that I ordered, not to mention how fast I was able to pick them up, I immediately decided to make a return visit a mere months later to order another pizza pie and their new item on their menu that was calling my name. Pizza Guys byline is "Home of the Specialty Pizzas" and they weren't kidding about that as they have no fewer than thirteen pizzas on their Specialty Pizza menu, including versions of an Impossible Pizza. I personally stay with the tried and true and order a small 10 inch Pizza Guys Combo pizza and their new Cheezee Bacon Rolls. Calling in my order was super easy as owner Vahdat took my order and said it would be ready in fifteen minutes for pick up. It turned out to be a much shorter wait than expected, as the nice thing is that once they take your cell phone number after you order, they text you updates as your pizza is ready for pick up. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for me to drive to University Avenue as the only thing was the traffic on the corner of University and San Pablo Avenues, but again thankfully there is a huge parking lot behind the building that houses Pizza Guys, which in Berkeley, complimentary parking is nothing short of a miracle. Pick up from their small store was super easy, as my pizza and rolls were ready for pick up and nicely being stored in one of the warmers they have near their counter area. My pizza was 17 dollars and the Bacon Rolls were 11 dollars, and although the rolls, which to be quite honest weren't super affordable, I was still so happy I bought them as they were rolled goodness with plentiful amounts of bacon and mozzarella combined with rolled pizza dough. My Pizza Guys Combo pizza featured fresh-made dough, whole-milk mozzarella cheese, and a sauce made with fresh-packed, California-grown tomatoes, all topped with pepperoni, sausage, green bell peppers and olives. Once I returned home, both my pizza and rolls were still warm to the touch and each slice and roll was full of flavors thanks to the quality ingredients that each item contained. Thankfully the rolls received a complimentary container of ranch dressing for dipping which only added to the flavor. And despite it only being a 10 inch pizza my party of three people with whom I shared this lunch with, had enough food for two servings that covered two lunches. The fact that they managed to open this location of Pizza Guys in the current situation we find ourselves in is even more remarkable. Pizza Guys even implemented tamper-proof packaging, contactless delivery, cashless payments ,and has even put up sneeze guards in all of their stores. And this goodwill seems to be transferred to their staff as well, as the both times I went, they seemed to have a lot of pizza makers and front counter personnel to serve you, as you are in and out, and hopefully they are able to take advantage of the complimentary pizza they are currently promising their staff to get them through these harrowing days/ months/ years ahead of us. Because when the tough gets going, the tough eat pizza and at Pizza Guys in Berkeley they have a number of affordable options, with plenty of coupons to take advantage of as well, which makes the worlds of affordability and deliciousness possible at Pizza Guys in Berkeley.

    Cheezee Bacon Rolls
    Tiffany C.

    Got the Cheezee bacon rolls and they were delicious! Super fresh and looked like they hand rolled each one. The outside layer was like a soft pizza dough that perfectly complemented the moist, cheesy inside. There was a perfect balance of bacon, cheese and bread and with the addition of ranch, it was even better. Had leftovers the next day and popped it in the toaster oven and they were still awesome. Prob the best appetizers I've had from a pizza place.

    The advertised pizza price...

    Very shady practices, on the menu board it said the pizza guys combo was 24 dollars and they charged me 26 dollars, making up the excuse that you needed to have a coupon to get the on-menu price, will not be coming back here. Neither should you, very unprofessional and super disappointed

    I had the honor to attend a Yelp Elite event for this new location in Berkeley. Parking is fairly easy, located off of University Avenue in Berkeley which can be a really busy street but there's street metered parking (ends at 6pm) right in front and you can turn in and there's a parking lot close to the 99 cents store and Subway. I was coming from Vallejo so I called before heading out there and it was so easy, I was greeted by a friendly worker, Daniel who was very thorough when taking my order and was very clear. I easily made my order over the phone, I ordered a large pizza, half combo and half pepperoni. I also got the 12 piece sweet bbq chicken wings with ranch. He said that it would take 15-20 minutes and I also received text messages that my order was ready. It was easy to pick up and I was worried they would be busy because of the yelp event but it was all ready by the time I got there. They take card and they have plexi glass up in front with openings wide for the pizza. I'm sure delivery shouldn't be hard either. The pizza and chicken were amazing and all at a decent cost.

    Good quality. A massive upgrade over Little Caesars. The prices are higher than I usually pay for pizza unless it's Zachary's. Some coupons for Pizza Guys via mail and their website. I live close by so I'll check them out more often

    Everything is so satisfactory to me! The man who handed me the pizza and wings was so gentle and friendly. His smile lit up my tiring day. The pizza guy combo is full of meet and covered with nice vegetables. I also ordered 8 wings for two different flavor. The spicy BBQ and lemon pepper are both so good.

    Large Pepperoni Pizza

    This is my go to pizza spot in the Berkeley area due to the quality and price! I always order a Large pepperoni pizza and it never disappoints. They are reasonable priced compared to other pizza shops and the save/cheese bread ratio is solid. In addition to this they always make pizzas ready within 15-20 mins max so they are quick. Lastly the nice thing is they always leave you with in additional coupons on your pizza box for next time.

    Cheezee Bacon Rolls, cheesy and garlicky with lots of bacon intertwined in each layer
    Teri C.

    I first tried this place through a yelp event and really liked the pizza I got. I had a half half Tuscan chicken and Serrano chili pizza. Pizza had a nice crisp thin crust with plenty of toppings. They didn't skimp on the pineapple, bacon, or fresh tomatoes. I'd order pizza from them again. Today I ordered their mango habanero wings and the cheezee bacon rolls. The wings were a bit on the small side but still good. They were tender and not dry. The sauce isn't really spicy to me. It was more sweet with a slight kick. Buffalo sauce might be even spicier! Now the rolls... they were amazing!! Garlicky and bacon-ey and cheesy.. mmm mmm! They had a nice chew and just the perfect crispness around the edges. Highly recommend those! I also ordered online for pick up and it was really easy. I scheduled the time and I got a text when it was ready. Super easy. The people inside were also really friendly. Storefront is small and there's no place to sit either. All the food is kept inside their heating bags when they're ready too. Parking isn't too difficult since there's a parking lot in the back for the dollar store. It's just kind of sketchy in that area. There's a lot of people just hanging out outside there but they seem to mind their own business.

    Whenever I am in town, i enjoy coming here. My favorite is the crazy Alfredo. It was so creamy,…read morerich. Although there are times it can lack a little flavor, so I just add a dash of salt and it's delicious. My husband got the chicken Godfather's Favorite, and he really enjoys this dish. It's creamy, hearty and flavorful. The parking here, however is atrocious! There is rarely any parking. People usually double park here. But be careful because some cops will be in the area and will try to cite you if you don't move your car. The wait time is long on busy days. It doesn't help that it's near campus so it can become very busy in the area too. I do recommend giving this place a try. Definitely a comfort-food kind of place, and the price is decent and the portions are pretty generous.

    This review is for their delivery…read more My meal came hot and was still steaming by the time I was able to eat it. I ordered a Alfredo shrimp fettuccine and it was super creamy! I found that the shrimp were on the smaller side and the sauce could have used a little something. However, I did find it much better than any bottled alfredo that I have tried. 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. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for affordable pasta option.

    my uncle recently treated us to a nice meal here in Belotti…read more Can't tell you enough how authentic this meal was The ambience was an indoor and outdoor seating italian restaurant! The food here was great. The service was awesome.

    I was incredibly disappointed by my experience at Belotti Bottega. Regardless of how highly rated…read morethe food might be, the dismissive front-of-house service I received guarantees I will never dine here. We arrived as walk-ins and noted four visibly open tables inside. With no host at the door, I walked toward the back, only to be redirected to the entrance by a waitress to wait. We waited patiently while the hostess was tied up on a long phone call. When she finally hung up, another party (who happened to be white) walked in and admitted they were late for their reservation. Instead of acknowledging me--a brown person who had been following the rules and waiting right in front of her--the hostess bypassed me entirely to assist the tardy arrivals. I understand that reservations take seating priority, but bypassing basic human acknowledgment to cater to a late party felt incredibly disrespectful and carried the heavy sting of implicit bias. When we pointed out that we were there first and should have been spoken to, the hostess inexplicably offered us a recently occupied outside table and quoted a 30-45 minute wait, completely ignoring the four open tables sitting empty inside. If management wants to improve their service, here are a few basic tips: Acknowledge guests in order: Always speak to the person who has been waiting first. A simple, 'I need to check in this late reservation, but I will be right with you,' goes a long way. Communicate transparently: If four inside tables are being held for upcoming reservations, explain that. Quoting a 45-minute wait for an outside table while the dining room looks empty just feels insulting. Don't leave the door unattended: If waitstaff redirects guests to the host stand, ensure someone is actually available to help them in a timely manner. Hospitality starts the moment you walk in the door, and the lack of basic respect here completely ruined the evening. Let me get this straight. You claim to have reviewed "security footage" to verify what happened. But you conveniently didn't mention whether that footage has audio. Because if it doesn't--and most restaurant security cameras don't--then you have no idea what was actually said or not said at that door. You can see who walked in and when. You cannot see who was acknowledged, who was ignored, or what tone was used. So your "we reviewed the footage" defense is only half the story at best. You claim your hostess was "taking a phone order for a to-go customer." That's fine. But taking a phone order doesn't explain why you bypassed me--the person standing right in front of you--to assist a late party that hadn't even been waiting. You say you "must honor existing reservations." I agree. But honoring a reservation doesn't require ignoring a walk-in who has been standing there patiently. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have taken two seconds. That never happened. You say I "chose to leave." Yes--after being dismissed, ignored, and offered a 45-minute wait for an outside table while four tables sat empty inside. That's not walking out. That's realizing I wasn't welcome. You say "an empty table is not necessarily an available one." True. But if four tables are being held for reservations, you could have explained that. Instead, you quoted a 45-minute wait for an outside table while the dining room looked empty. That's not communication--that's deflection. You say the suggestion of bias is "simply not supported by what happened." But you reviewed footage without audio. You don't know what was said, what wasn't said, or how it was said. You're defending the sequence of events--not the experience. You claim to be a "multiracial company" that "proudly serves everyone." That's great. But the experience I had didn't reflect that. I'm not saying you're racist. I'm saying your front-of-house service that night made me feel invisible, and your response is trying to gaslight me into thinking it didn't happen. If you want to improve, start by acknowledging that perception matters. And if you're going to cite security footage as proof, be transparent about what that footage can and cannot show. Because without audio, it's just video of people moving around--not proof of what was said or felt. --- P.S. If your cameras don't have audio, you're not "reviewing the interaction." You're reviewing the choreography. There's a difference. And if they do have audio, are you recording customer conversations without their knowledge? That's a whole other problem.

    I'm ready to take this street and head straight into the heart of Rome, or Berkeley so to speak,…read moreespecially if the food is this deliciously prepared as it is at Via Del Corso! Located in the heart of Berkeley's trendy North Shattuck business area that covers most of the northern part of the busy thoroughfare of Shattuck Avenue, Via Del Corso comes from owner Peter Chastain, a local restaurateur who made sure to save a longtime favorite local restaurant that was known as Corso, in a prine dining destination. Chastain did so by assembling an amazing team that guaranteed authentic cuisine that could be found not in just one but throughout many regions in Italy, much in part thanks to Chef de cuisine Massimo Orlando, who brings his heritage from northern Italy into all of their dishes. What brought me and two other diners here on a busy Saturday evening was the buzz that has been constant ever since they opened Via Del Corso in the summer of 2021 and we wanted to see what it was all about. Reservations on the OpenTable even a mere two days out were actually easy to make, as we arrived a few minutes late and they were still gracious enough to take our party and seat us with a view of their open kitchen, where no fewer than five chefs were cooking up a storm all evening long. The dinner menu at Via Del Corso is separated into categories including Spuntini, which are little bites; Antipasti e Insalate, which are their Appetizers and Salads; Primi Piatti or first course dishes; Piatto del Giorno or Dish of the Day; Secondi Piatti or second course dishes; Contorni or sides; and Dolchi or desserts. To start our meal we decided to order their Insalata di Polpo, which was their poached octopus served with Yukon gold potatoes, Gaeta olives, celery, sweet onions, and topped with lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Served with the perfect amount of umami and flair this starting dish was the perfect starting dish and made us eager for more of what Via Del Corso had to offer. As for the second course in our meal, we knew we wanted to share in their deliciously handcrafted pasta entrées, and it was recommended by our server Mike to order their signature pasta entrée, their Ravioli con Spungnole e Fave, which were their fresh pasta raviolis filled with sheep's milk ricotta, served with fresh morel mushrooms, fava beans and topped with Parmigiano cheese; and then we ordered a half portion of their Tagliatelle al Ragu which is their fresh egg pasta topped with Emilian meat sauce and Parmigiano Reggiano. For our main courses, we decided to split two entrées, their Petto d'Anatra con Ciliegie e Balsamico, which was their seared duck breast topped with their balsamico condimento, blistered cherries, and sautéed spinach; and their Bistecca di Manzo alla Griglia which is their Grilled Prime New York Steak served with rucola, lemon, and shaved Parmigiano. We also opted to have it served with Lardo which was a film of buttery garlic and cost an additional four dollars. The pastas would be presented to our table first and they were two of the most lovingly crafted pasta dishes we have enjoyed in some time. The real star recommended their ravioli as the were a meal unto itself with beautiful triangle shaped pouches filled with fresh cheese topped with unique mushrooms combined with an unbelievably tasty sauce. At 60 dollars our Bistecca was a wonderfully composed dish that was served with an elegantly composed arugula side dish and would have been a wonderful solo entrée to enjoy. The seared duck was a nice heavy dish that I most likely would not order a second time, as we saw the halibut being a nicely composed dish from a table far away, and nothing but good things about their signature pork chop. With a total bill of $194 for five dishes, a return visit would be a must to Via Del Corso, as we found this restaurant lively, in a good way, the service attentive, and most importantly the food prepared in a way that would make us come back for many more return visits. A neighborhood gem that everyone can enjoy!

It's a good place for a laid-back atmosphere. The restaurant is fast casual. When you enter, you can look at the menu and place your order. It's pretty much self-serve aside from them bringing your food. With that said, the limited interactions we had were pretty mediocre. What's fun is that it's a build-your-own spot. You choose your own pasta and sauce. They also have items such as sandwiches and salads. My best friend and I got the same thing--Rigatoni with Bolognese. I opted for no cheese on top. The pasta was al dente, but I definitely wish there had been a bit more sauce on the meat. The portion was decent for the price, but I do feel like I could make this at home. So if I come back, I'd opt for something else. The Italian Homemade Company has a few locations throughout the Bay Area. This one-off College Ave. is great for a quick pasta pick-me-up. You can find street parking in the area.

It was the right amount of ground lamb to carrots in the ragu sauce. My son enjoyed the meatballs and the flat bread that came with it. He mostly ate the bread, dipping it in the marinara sauce. The size of each meatballs were like a good scope size ice cream. This was a good lunch to a relaxing day of shopping with my son.

    I was around the area, had done quite a bit of walking, and wanted something light that wouldn't…read moreleave me feeling too heavy. I came across Casa Barotti on Yelp, saw the photos, and it immediately caught my attention. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere reminded me of a calm little lounge. The music and overall vibe made it a really relaxing place to sit and eat. I was greeted and welcomed by one of the staff members, and since it was my first time, he was very patient and helpful when I had questions. After ordering, I sat by the wall and noticed some of the little details around the restaurant. They were pretty creative, even using an empty tomato can to hold the utensils and everything you need to eat! They also had pepper and chili oil available on the side. I wouldn't have minded having some extra seasonings like dried oregano, but that's just a small preference. I ordered the classic Margherita pizza and the mushroom & leek pizza. The presentation was beautiful. Both pizzas came out fresh from the oven on wooden boards, and they even sliced them up. The crust had the perfect crunch, and the Margherita was simple but incredibly flavorful without feeling too heavy. But if you're feeling adventurous, I'd definitely recommend trying the mushroom & leek. It was absolutely mouthwatering and had so much flavor. Overall, this was a really enjoyable meal with a great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and delicious pizza. I'd definitely come back again

    Where the focaccia? My mother, (rest her soul) used to say:…read more"Focaccia is God's scourge on the world". And she was not too fond of Kenny G. She had some strong opinions. However, she would dig this cool spot. What a cozy, lovely, well appointed space this is on College Avenue in Berkeley. Beautiful aesthetic, terrific menu selections, and you can even get half a beer! What's not to like? There's nice music playing and the small space has every possible square foot utilized in a nice manner. And, absolutely delicious focaccia! Today I went for the pesto zucchini which is awesome. Very lovely staff members and an incredible neighborhood for other types of shopping. My mother would have become a focaccia fan here. However, Kenny G still makes John Coltrane turn in his grave!
