Michael N.

Pizza is delicious and fresh. Bread is toasted to a good crunch and crisp. Very nice service from the nice people. I like the moveable tables indoors and the outdoor seating is nice too. This place should have more customers. Good prices too, especially compared to the rival down the street Z (overpriced and not as tasty)

Sneakily added a 3.x% surcharge for credit cards at payment which was not disclosed. I was really looking forward to this pizza because I'm a huge fan of butter chicken, so of course I'd be interested in that in a pizza form. Unfortunately, the dishonesty completely soured the experience. It's really hilariously ironic that I tend to avoid online orders as much as possible just to avoid the junk fee surcharges, but in this case, had I ordered online, I would've been charged less than ordering in person.

Gotta say I really love these Indian pizza restaurants. First time having it deep dish style too! Happy to support more of these kind of businesses. The only complaint I have for this one is the credit card surcharge they pass on. It's not visible anywhere online or physically in store. The receipt didn't show it.. we barely caught a glimpse of the surcharge when they rang us up.

Ordered on the Slice app for some deals and ended up with a medium pizza and wings. I thought the wings would be bone-in, but they ended up being boneless which was a little disappointing because they didn't specify on the app, it just says 10 wings. The Twisted wing flavor was good, but I wish there was more seasoning on the wings because without it, they were just plain boneless chicken bites, nothing too special. The pizza, however, was unique and I enjoyed the different toppings. I got the Mediterranean Combo which had gyro slices, marinated chicken, olives, mushrooms and red onions. The dough wasn't a thin New York style, but it also wasn't super bready, just a classic American style. I would go back to try other combos. Although the app said the order was done, I still had to wait about 5 more minutes when I got there. Inside is very clean and brightly lit with a couple of tables (20 seats). Overall, I'd come back for the pizza and actually try the bone-wings which is what I was actually craving during this visit.

The place is so nice and the food is amazing I really love this pizza and the employers is so kind

The Trio Pan Crust. A Special Coupon deal that's not easy to find, but totally worth it when you do.

Good times again. This was my third visit. My second, I missed Nate and his wife, Nidhi, since it was their day off. His brother was there in his stead that second time. He was good servicing his customers, but not the Warriors fan like his bro. That second time I had the non-traditional pizza of Spicy Beef Lamb Kabob. I opted for the original hand tossed crust in the medium size. It's usually big enough to take some home, but it was delicious enough that I ate all of it instead. First time having lamb on a pizza, and it was a stellar first experience. But this third visit, Nate and Nidhi were there. I ordered the Trio Pizza Special in the pan crust (Deep Dish) style. It was a special coupon of $21.99 for a medium. FYI, the coupon isn't easy to find. You need to click on the generic menu tab, then look for the coupons rectangle. Hopefully, it will still be there if you look for it. The Trio is pepperoni, sausage and bacon. It was an scrumptious combo. The pepperoni and sausage did their expected trick, but the smokie, lightly crunchy bacon took it to another level. Also, the crust was pillowy soft and delightful to chew. And both Nate and Nidhi came out again to watch the Warriors game with me. As the NBA season is winding down and even though the team isn't what they used to be, watching with Nate, Nidhi and a freshly baked Pizza Twist pie still infused my night with championship vibes.

Pleasantly surprised by the pizza. I'm not a big pizza eater. Kids of course love it. Our usual go to's locally are Little Star and iSlice. Pizza Twist definitely fulfills a style a pizza not covered by those two places and fulfilled my pizza craving for the week. Not too thick or doughy and not too thin or crackery. A balance of sauce and cheese and taste. We had sausage, 1/2 cheese and 1/2 pepperoni. and chicken tikka masala. All tasted yummy. Husband said chicken tikka didn't really taste like chicken tikka but tasted good anyways. And the best, we had the chocolate chip cookie pie dessert to top it all off! Which by the way, I've since gone back and got the desserts only - chocolate chip cookie and brownie pie. It's so good. Ordered online for pick up and all went smoothly. Inside is clean and has a welcoming vibe too it. We'll be back on our next craving!

Mimi W.

Got a modified Chicken Tikka Masala pizza from here and the chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. I was impressed with the freshness of all the ingredients, as well as all their special offerings, such as gluten free, vegetarian, cauliflower crust etc. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. I told him that I had picky kids and he modified the spice level as well as the vegetables included. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and they have an assortment of board games as well as two large TVs for antsy kids. Will definitely be going back there with the fam one day soon.

This pizza is so genuinely amazing, the unique flavors and the texture are so well developed it puts other places to shame. The service is dope too. But wow the achari pizza is what I had last and it was a nice blend of sweetness and savoryness that would make Gordon Ramsay shed a tear. read more

My fiancé and I stopped in here on a whim while we were in town for an errand and were extremely pleased with our experience! The chicken tikka masala deep dish was fantastic and an exciting variation from the typical pizzas we're used to. All the ingredients tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. The friendliness and hospitality of the employees was the icing on the cake! This place is definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood for some pizza that will leave you feeling nourished, refreshed, and satiated. We will certainly be back the next time we are in the area! read more

Absolutely excellent pizza! We ordered a large butter chicken pizza and ate in. The pizza was some of the best I have honestly ever had. The crust has a lovely thickness while remaining crunchy and had no grease underneath. All the vegetables were fresh and the sauce had just the right amount of flavor and spice for us. My three year old son didn't like the idea of an Indian food pizza, but my husband and I had heard it was worth trying (previously we loved some in Fremont, but had not found a decent restaurant in the area that served curry pizza), and after my son saw it, he had to try it. He said it was the most beautiful and delicious pizza he has ever eaten. He is only 3.9, but he knows what he likes and we agreed. Fantastic food, very kind staff, clean restaurant with board games on each table to play while you wait. We liked the music that they played and while it was a modern fast food decor, it was comfortable and pleasant. Our family will be going back for sure. Thank you for a great dinner that my kid can't stop talking about! read more

I know these owners more personally as I used to work at the gym across the street, and they always came in to say hi and offer our staff free pizzas to advertise themselves during their grand opening week.

Food--run don't walk to the amazing twists on the usual pizza. We had the plant-based tikka masala pizza and the plant-based Tandoori BBQ pizza. I can't tell you which one was more delightful because they were each so yummy in their own ways. The Tikka Masala was so fresh tasting Witte the cilantro topping. The Tandoori had a smokiness that was rich and delicious. We're definitely going back soon! The service was so thoughtful and friendly.

First time trying Pizza Twist and wanted to really like it, BUT... First off let me start by saying I ordered the pizzas for delivery quite early with a 7 pm delivery and that went without a hitch - perfect, thank you. As far as ordering go, their menu is so extensive it is kind of hard to keep track of what is what and what the difference, not to mention that some pizzas even have different names depending upon if you are in the menu section of their website or the order section, for example in one area its called Chicken Tikka Masala Twist and in the other just Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza. I double checked and do believe they are the same pizza just no TWIST. On to the pizza, when they (Chicken Tikka Masala w/ thin crust & a Curry Veggie Pizza Twist w/ regular crust) arrived they looked kind of dry and were not hot, so put them in the oven, boxes and all, on warm for about 15 minutes just to heat them up. Pulled them out with family to enjoy along with a homemade salad. The flavors were good, but could barely taste tikka masala or the curry, as if the sauce was barely put on with a pastry brush instead of spooned on as expected. Because of this the pizzas were on the dry side. The chicken was tender and taste and all the veggies seemed fresh, and both crusts, although quite similar, were very good, but just not enough flavor. Not enough sauce at all. I may try again, but if so, will certainly go in a order in person, and talk to them about their process and try to get it a bit more flavorful and saucy. read more

If you love Indian food and/or want to be the first one to try something completely new, head for Pizza Twist for pizza with Indian toppings. I was walking my dog last night and stuck my head in to take a look at this new spot. I got a friendly welcome and discount coupons! Went back today for dinner. The cafe is bright, clean, and comfortable. I was again warmly welcomed. While I was waiting, the owner gave me a free appetizer to try. I used a coupon and tried the Tikka Masala pizza which was thick with toppings. I was also asked what level of heat I wanted which I really appreciated. I'm no foodie, but I asked about the cheese, because it was so creamy. As another reviewer said, I left satisfied but not feeling stuffed. I don't know how they came up with this idea, but they have created an new kind of pizza that's as good as good as any pizza I've had. read more

Picnic

A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

They have plenty of seating, and one of the biggest advantages is their excellent Wi-Fi speed, which makes it a reliable spot for remote work or studying. The atmosphere is enjoyable as well. There's usually music playing or a sports game on the TV, creating a comfortable, laid-back environment without being distracting. Their food selection is also better than you'd expect from a coffee shop. In addition to coffee and pastries, they offer cakes, breakfast items, and a variety of other snacks and treats, so there's always something to pair with your drink. Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.

Crave Subs

I don't really enjoy writing negative reviews of restaurants, especially smaller businesses but…read moretoday's visit to Crave really left a bad taste in my mouth. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants reduce the guality or quantity of their meal to cut costs while charging premium prices. I will say I didn't mind paying a few dollars more for their subs in the past. I went there today for the first time in a couple of years, ordered a regular size basic ruben sandwich (no add-ons) and was ok paying nearly $18 dollars for just the sandwich until they handed it to me. what I got was a small 6" sub. When did their subs shrink?? in this economy we are all struggling. I get it, things cost more but Craves' owner is not doing his patrons a service by charging them premiums while cutting back on the meals. If you're ok paying that much for a shrunken sub, more power to you. I l, however, will not be going back there.

The veggie meat was ultra salty and the Beast sandwich had sweet strawberry jam. Did not see that on the menu and didn't correlate the names of the sandwiches to the tv characters my kids watched when they were younger until I opened up the sandwich and saw the red jam. I prefer peanut butter and jam instead of meat and jam. Only veggie was chopped lettuce and barely saw anything else. Overwhelming flavor was the jam which was squeezing out of the sandwich. Disappointed- was hoping for an impressive sandwich at this price point.

This review, however, is about their bagels specifically, which clock in at 3 stars. The bagels feel as if someone read a description of a New York bagel and did their best to recreate it without being totally sure they'd hit the mark. Crisp crust? Dense crumb? Malty flavor? The bagel ticks all the boxes. Yet, each aspect is slightly off. The crust was almost comically thick and took a serious bite to break through. (I guess the bakers got too enthusiastic with the water bath.) The crumb was tight but came off more as dry than chewy. And the malt syrup was poured with a liberal hand -- there is no subtlety to the flavor. To their credit, the cream cheese is well paired. It brings its own flavor with a noticeable tang, and it is dense. You need a bagel that will hold up under the pressure of a knife while spreading the thick schmear. I love that Saul's is making bagels in house now, but I think I will look elsewhere on their menu for the real comfort foods.

I had Saul's do all the food for my Passover Seder and every dish was a hit. The brisket tzimmes…read moreand obviously the matzo ball soup were standouts.

Naturally, we ordered as many chicken skewers as possible, and every single one was fantastic. The hearts were especially impressive--soft and tender, which is rare since most places tend to overcook them. The karaage was also top notch. The biggest surprise was the bonjiri. I had to look it up, and once I realized it was basically the chicken equivalent of rich, fatty oxtail-style meat, I knew I had to try it. Holy hell, it was easily the best chicken skewer I've ever had. I would honestly come back just to order multiple of these. The squid ink rice was incredibly savory and filling, and paired with a few beers, this made for such a great evening out. All in all, Ippuku is a must-visit in Berkeley if you're into izakayas.

This worked out fine for our group. The menu had various options and eye-catching beverages! My table ordered 3 versions of the Chu-Hi's. Quite pleasant. I liked my Meyer Lemon Hi, it came with half of a lemon which I freshly squeezed and poured into my drink. I thought that was very fun! The quality of each dish was cooked well. My favorites were the crab croquettes, chicken heart, one of the marinated skewers (I can't recall the name of it), gizzards, and the squid ink fried rice. I'm definitely curious to try the bacon-wrapped mochi at a future visit. The only downfall was that the kitchen was extremely backed up during our visit. It took well over what felt like 20-30 minutes from our 1st order to our 2nd Chef's Choice dish. That negatively impacted our experience, but it happens. I'd like to try Ippuku again and hope there will be less of a delay. Our server was nice & attentive, came around a few times to refill our water.

Lastly the waiters told us we could move seats to a bigger table and he came to take the table from us and stated that his staff didn't control where we were sat and he placed another group that he preferred there instead.

I had the pleasure of trying the Halal Spicy Lamb Pizza at Pizza Twist on Solano Ave in Berkeley tonight, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The blend of flavors in this pizza was truly remarkable. The succulent pieces of lamb combined with the perfect level of spiciness created a symphony of taste that left me craving for more. The crust was just the right balance of crispy and chewy, providing a wonderful foundation for the toppings. Speaking of toppings, the generous amount of lamb was tender and flavorful, with the spices adding a satisfying kick without overpowering the other ingredients. The cheese was melted to perfection, and the combination of all the elements was a true treat. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making for a pleasant dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive impression. If you're a fan of unique and delectable pizza creations, the Halal Spicy Lamb Pizza at Pizza Twist is a must-try! I can't wait to visit again and explore more of their menu. This experience definitely deserves a 5-star rating. Highly recommended! read more

I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but after a long day of work I came across this spot that serves Indian-style pizza, sandwiches, and wings -- and I'm really glad I did. I normally stick to Mexican food for dinner, but their menu looked too good to pass up, so I decided to give the pizza a try. I was helped by a gentleman named Nate -- who I believe might be the owner -- and he was incredibly friendly and helpful. He guided me toward the perfect choice, a half-and-half Butter Chicken & Achari Chicken pizza. Not only was it extremely satisfying, it ended up being one of the best pizzas I've had, period. Since I'm used to spicy food, I asked for it extra spicy. The cook absolutely delivered. The seasoning was spot-on and the pizza was cooked to perfection. You can tell they take real pride in what they make. Thankfully I'll be working in the area again this week, because this place just became my go-to dinner spot. read more

Pizza Twist is absolutely fantastic! I have a strict gluten allergy, and Mani (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made me feel safe and confident about enjoying my meal. The gluten-free pizza was delicious, fresh, and flavorful--honestly one of the best I've had. It's rare to find a place that truly cares about dietary restrictions while still delivering amazing taste. I can't recommend Pizza Twist enough, both for the food and the outstanding customer service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more
