This was my first visit to any of the Sliver locations. Maybe my expectations were too high going in because of the very strong rating, but I was underwhelmed. I ordered the pizza of the day, and while it was somewhat tasty, it was nothing to write home about. The pizza wasn't cold, but it was not hot, either. Could this be because it had already come out of the oven before I ordered it? It makes sense, as Sliver certainly knows customers are going to order the pizza of the day, and it explains why I hardly had to wait for my pie to be ready. I figured it had at least been on low heat in the oven, but whether or not this was the case, it was no longer hot by the time I reached my destination 15 minutes later. I was also disappointed that the pizza toppings were so uneven: the pie had tons of potato, but hardly any spinach. I'm willing to believe this was just a fluke and not indicative of the norm at Sliver, but I'm not going to be in a rush to come back. Cheeseboard and Zachary's are considerably higher on my list of East Bay pizzerias. P.S. One non-pizza shortcoming: after I ordered my pie, I walked towards the restroom, only to find it was not accessible to customers. read more

Sliver Pizzeria - Lots of potato, but almost no spinach on the pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Definitely a solid spot for pizza in Berkeley that's well worth the money! I ordered 2 slices for around $6, and they also gave me 2 extra slivers so it was basically 2.5 slices that was enough for dinner. You can check the menu on the website for what they're serving each day, and choose to go on a day they have a pizza you like, which was what I did. The flavor of the pizza did not disappoint, and the crust was nice and crisp. Their signature sauce is also pretty fire! Overall, a convenient place to grab a delicious meal, and I would definitely come again! read more

The pizza of the day was excellent. The personal salad met expectations. But you do pay a price for eating in a restaurant on Shattuck avenue in berkeley. Their public restroom was closed therefore no place to wash your hands. The employee said the restroom was closed due to vandalism. read more

Ok, I'm a long time cheeseboard to sliver lover. But today it's raining cats and dogs, and y'all broke my heart with the vegan pizza. I'd recommend you sub cheese for cheese...rather than tomato for cheese. Not even gonna put this on the folks working there; it's not the same since it went super corporate and they're obviously under staffed. But wanna leave a word of warning to other vegans--check your pizza before you take it home! read more

My entire family got food poisoning from here. None of us have slept or been able to hold down any foods or liquids in 18 hours. My brother is still writhing in pain. The food poisoning was so intense that my poor mother had to go to the Emergency Room. All right before thanksgiving too ... which I now doubt we will be able to attend nor enjoy after this. Looking now I can see a few other reviews stating that others have experienced the same thing ... I would save yourself the potential pain and not risk it for the pizza, which has fallen far from grace in terms of quality. Ours tasted like a rubber disk. read more

Tried their pizza of the day a couple months back and it was solid. I got the pizza of the day which was a milder pizza with white sauce and potatoes. Nothing too special and wasn't all too impressed especially after hearing all the hype about it. I will say that their green sauce is quite tasty and is very similar to a mint chutney and tasted fresh. They only gave me 1 tiny container at which point I requested a couple more and the employee who was working there was kinda rude. Overall this specific pizza of the day was ok, if I'm in the area I may try a different one. read more

Just a sliver please! It's been years since I've been back to The Bay so if I've ever had Bay Area Pizza before, I've totally forgotten by now. But from what I've had at Sliver, I'll definitely be coming back for more. The pizza of the day was Corn, Chile Pasilla, Yellow Onions, Mozzarella, French Feta, Cilantro, Garlic Olive Oil, and Mexican Key Limes... basically a Mexican Corn Pizza, a combination that would seem out of place in most places, but not in NorCal! We were going on a progressive dinner tour of Berkeley and Oakland so instead of slices of pie we opted for slivers and the portion was a perfect bite, especially with the Pesto Sauce to drizzle over them! From what my friend told me, although some would rate Cheese Board, Arizmendi, and Diamond Slice over Sliver, they're all variations off the same type of pizza... which means I'll have to figure out a return trip to try them all! Size DOES count when it comes to a progressive dinner, so if you got 3-4 places to eat at in one evening, get a sliver at Sliver and save your waistline for the heavier foods! read more

Sliver never disappoints! I ordered ahead but there was honestly no need. The pizzas take around 10-15 minutes to make and come out delicious!!

Sliver Pizzeria - Whole Featured Pizza of the Day (Roasted Yukon Gold potatoes,dino kale, mozzarella, French, goat cheese, fresh herbs and garlic olive oil) - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Dude, this pizzeria is flames. Straight up FIRE. My bf and I love this place to fault. Cause of obesity: Sliver. I'm convinced that Sliver is the only exception to my severe aversion to pizza crusts. My friends know I eat pizza "backwards" (ie. crust-first) to avoid that tough, powdery bit after a particularly chunky slice, no matter which pizzeria we're at. I just hate ending a great slice of pizza with a mouthful of ashy... crust! Then my bf introduced me to Sliver, and that all went out the window. There's something about their crust that's like... Thin garlic bread? Great fluffy/crunchy ratio, and never any excess flour. I was converted instantaneously. Here, I could eat pizza like a normal human being. Groundbreaking. The Berkeley location sits along a busy walking street, among other businesses. Inside, ample seating & dim lighting, sometimes accompanied by live music. I'd recommend walking since parking is definitively impossible on Shattuck. Their gimmicks are: 1.) having only 1 (vegetarian) pie a day, and 2.) leaving 2 extra slices (ie. "slivers") in the box. Their flavors are unique & all worth a try! Comes with a mildly spicy cilantro sauce that my bf worships. Serious competition between this and Zachary's as our favorite pizza spot. ~ Note: In skimming Sliver's site & the first page of Google search results, they're supposedly involved in anti-human trafficking advocacy. Great, but support given is pretty ambiguous (monetary? volunteering? awareness? what?). Would be coo if they'd elaborate more... read more

This review is about Sliver's use of GrubHub as a delivery service. I placed a delivery order just after 6pm, and for the next 90 minutes the GrubHub app told me my order was delayed. I walked outside to check, and found my order had been left on the wall outside the front gate. The delivery driver didn't confirm that it had been delivered, it was completely cold and had probably been sitting there for at least 30 minutes. read more

Best and freshest pizza I've had in a very long time. The staff was extremely friendly as well and great service. This pizza was 10/10

Fantastic! It was my first time visiting the downtown location. I was starving after a late night class and decided to get a slice before I headed home. I only had a few minutes and they were still baking, told me i had to wait for few more minutes which I did not have as my ride was arriving. The guy who was working did his magic and gave me a piece right away. And it is delicious! I love their potato pizza and the pesto dipping sauce is just amazing. Probably will be my favorite new spot in berkeley to get some simple quick bite. read more

Wow!! What amazing pizza! Every time I go, I am never disappointed with the pizza of the day. The crust is just amazing because it's so thin, and the pizza always has the freshest ingredients. I absolutely am obsessed with Sliver. One comment on the green sauce... I LOVE the green sauce. I need every bite to have some green sauce on it. However, I noticed that Sliver is suuuper skimpy with the green sauce. My recommendation is that they add at least one extra green sauce because I feel like the pizza needs the green sauce to accompany it to take the flavor to the next level. Regardless, Sliver is delicious and I love their pizza! read more

I live right across the street from the Broadway Oakland location and love it. I like how you can affordably satisfy a solo quick snack with a slice and sliver or a full on meal here with friends over a half or whole pie. Bf and I were going to watch the documentary Game Changers (highly recommended) at the Berkeley United Artists theater and I needed some grub prior. Stopped in the downtown Berkeley location and saw the pizza of the day had corn, green Pasilla chilis, feta cheese, limes - 2 slices please! There was a line but it moved fairly quickly. My two slices with the signature sliver arrived and were hot, fresh and delicious. Of course I had to top it off with the addicting green and red sauces. They were gone before I can say sliver. I also love that they support anti-sex trafficking. Thank you Sliver!! read more

Although I cannot give it five stars because the website was not updated to reflect the current pizza of the day and because they do not answer the phone, the experience was otherwise smooth and seamless. There was no wait for a whole pie and the pizza was pretty yummy. The actual pizza of the day was better than what was advertised on the website, as we got tomatoes, feta cheese, garlic, and onions on it. Bonus: if there's a little left over when they make the pizza, they will include it in the box instead of throwing it out. read more

Max, the policy enforcer. He approached me and told me I needed to order something to sit down. I asked him when did this policy start and told me its,a rule. He made me buy something to sit down. I paid $4 and gave him the slice of pizza. He was rude, aggressive and thought I was homeless. I buy two to three slices every shift so I didn't think it's necessary to buy something every shift change. I told him I came there earlier and he gave me pushback. I told him he was the only employee that ever gave me an issue and I complied. Once he saw that I was upset he told me it was okay but I told him no you've already made a big deal and tried to embarrass me so let me pay the $4 and he gaslit me to make me feel like I was the problem He profiled me, once I told him I was there earlier and show them that I was not homeless he should have accepted it but he was trying to be big and bad read more

We came here after seeing the enormous line at Cheeseboard but I have to say, Sliver did not disappoint! The pizza of the day was a Mexican corn pizza with spicy peppers which was amazing with the green sauce they serve on the slide. Such a good deal and definitely satisfies your pizza cravings. read more

I know usually when I tell people there is a this great pizza place I know of, but they never use meat, people are turned off. I'm definitely into chicken and sausage on my pizza, but Sliver has done it really well to use just vegetables. It's simple and tasty. They also have this green sauce, kind of spicy and it changes the life of the pizza! Their corn and chili pizza is my favorite. The atmosphere is super casual, close to UCB, so many students stop by. They are also very affordable. read more

Five stars for the style and taste of the pizza. 1. Pizza crust is crispy / solid. Very tasty toppings.. awesome flavor for a pizza w avocado spread 2. Service was friendly and prompt.. read more

I stopped by here for a quick bite and the pizza was amazing! This place serves only one kind of pizza everyday and they're always really unique. Living up to its name, they also give you a sliver of pizza with each slice you order. The crust is pretty thin and crispy, which I really like, and the toppings are wonderful. They also have a special green and red sauce that you can add to the pizza and they're fun to try. I personally enjoyed the red one the most, but they're both really tasty. I would definitely come here again if I'm ever craving some pizza!! read more

Terrible place with bad staff leave your experience to be catastrophic. We had visited here over 50 times and we needed to go use the bathroom and we were going to order the pizza after we used the restroom. The staff made us feel like criminals and interrogated us as to whether we will actually buy something. They said "Restrooms are for customers only" very rudely! They treat you like you are trying to defraud them and disregard the fact that we actually had purchased 100s of pizza from them honestly! I am never coming back for the way I was treated by the staff. This exact thing happened to me at the other sliver too so I can clearly tell that this is a part of their policy! Shame on you! read more

I had to grub before attending a show nearby and pizza is the quickest, easiest, and delicious option. Always. I walked in with determination, ready to indulge in two slices of cheese pizza. I placed my order and was caught off guard when they said the only slices are the pizza of the day or you can order a whole pizza if you want cheese. And there I stood, at a pizza joint, staring intently into the pizza guy's eyes, about to make the biggest decision that day. I contemplated between the whole pizza and two slices-- Should I risk it all and get the whole pizza and potentially have food coma missing out on the whole performance or do I settle with the two slices of the day... I ended up getting the two slices and it was amazing. There were at least 5 toppings if not more that all went well together. The squirt of lime really elevated the flavors. And the green sauce, I mean come on. read more

Sliver Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Huh...a pizza joint with no meat. I will tell you up front I am a solid believer of having meat on my pizzas. Not those meat lover pies but at least some sort of meat topping. They serve one type of meatless pizza per day and only one. Today was some sort of corn with spinach and feta cheese topped with lime. It's...not bad. You can get it by the slice, half a pie or an entire pie. So it'll be a hit or miss depending on your preference. I didn't really expect myself enjoying it but I kind of did. I don't think I'd have a craving for this place but I could see how it would rank very highly on many people's go-to pizza joint. Their pizza is light and delicious at the same time. I'll give this place 4/5. You could argue it was because it didn't have meat but I gotta say it didn't bother me much in the end. The flavor was good and the dough wasn't bad. The ingredients were good and we loved the corn on our pizza but like I said it'll depend on pizza of the day. If you're in the area I'd say swing by and check it out. read more

Sliver Pizzeria - Corn, spinach and feta cheese with lime. Dipping sauce on the side. - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

Delicious pizza of the day! I recommend checking the menu before going to make sure you like what they're serving that day. What we got wasn't exactly what they put on the menu (missing roma tomatoes and avocado sauce and added mushrooms), so I'm not sure if it's always accurate. Regardless, we enjoyed our pizza and it was close enough to what we expected. read more

Sliver Pizzeria - 12/19 pizza of the day - Pizza Near Me - Berkeley, California

A take off from Cheese Board, this typically vegetarian pizza offering is great for folks right downtown or passing by by foot or bike. Frankly speaking due to traffic and lack of parking this location is not conducive to take out. Unless you have two passengers 2 cell phones and a bit of patience. Unlike CB ,these zahs have to be ordered and a wait of several minutes before you pie is ready. That translates to 7 times driving around the block. No assembly line of pies coming hot and now. I highly recommend ordering ahead or having your nibble footed co-pilot dash in and text you the progress. We came on Presidents' Day about 4 pm so foot and vehicle traffic as well delivery trucks double parked was minimal. They have the requisite accessories, gringo sauce etc ability to order a slice quarter half and whole pies. The zah is good don't get me wrong. And because CB is closed on Monday's if you simply can't wait an extra day your obsession can be quelled. That is assuming you don't have to walk to far to your car and it gets cold. read more

I love love sliver just because it's an extension of Cheeseboard. I have to get it every time I come up to the Bay Area, which is often. I'll take any pizza they have. Doesn't matter what they're serving, I know I'll have it - even if it's a mushroom one since I'll just pick them out. All my friends say I'm crazy when I tell them I'm going to take them here when we visit because it's vegetarian. And every time after trying it they say it's amazing and surprisingly good given that it never comes with any meat. I really appreciate the "baker's dozen" aka additional 2 little slices they include when you get the whole pie. My favorite flavor of all times is the corn pizza, actually just any of the pizzas with corn. The green sauce is also superb and elevates the flavor of the pizza with a type of zing to it. read more

Wonderful service. Especially greatful to Luis for making this experience so enjoyable!

When it's between lunch and dinner service at Cheeseboard or it's the middle of the pandemic and Cheeseboard is only offering pizza to bake at home and you want to satisfy your pizza craving now, head to Sliver. I don't have a palette sophisticated enough to taste the difference between Sliver and Cheeseboard but Sliver is more conveniently located in downtown Berkeley and has multiple locations in the east bay. The last time I was in Berkeley they were serving my favorite potato pizza. Carbs on carbs, how could anyone say no? When I first discovered Sliver in college, I was mostly a carnivore and definitely didn't eat enough greens but Sliver and Cheeseboard changed my mind and got me hooked on vegetarian pizza. My only complaint during COVID is that they don't have a bathroom open even to patrons. This might be a Berkeley/ Alameda County specific COVID restriction but I was here in mid April when vaccines were available to most adults. Even in the middle of the pandemic when COVID cases were much higher in the Bay Area, most restaurants in Santa Clara county had a bathroom open when outdoor dining was the only seating option. Sliver is a great spot to satisfy your vegetarian, thin crust pizza craving conveniently located in the middle of downtown Berkeley. read more

Definitely has changed since it has become franchises :( The pizza is really dough-y and tough to chew. The toppings are still unique and great but it feels like a lot of the texture and flavor is lacking compared to 5-6 years ago. The star of the show is the green sauce though I can have that on everything!!! read more

Hands down the best place I've ever been to. They support the fight against human trafficking. They're pizzas rotate very day and so you can always get something new. They're very consistent on quality and their pizzas are thin crust, they're generous about adding cheese to the crust which makes nice and crispy and ads so much flavor. The ingredients are always very fresh and high quality, the lemon grass curried potato pizza is out of this world, at slit 11/10 and offers a unique flare, absolutely bursting with flavor. They also have salads which are amazing and pizza shaped brownies for dessert, which are moist, perfectly crunchy, and have a perfect valence flavor of rich chocolate and sweetness. read more

10/10 experience. Had countless positive interactions with a worker named Louis. Definitely will be returning soon!

The pizza here is never a let down. We used to go here a lot when my sister went to school around here. But now it's quite a bit of drive for us so we are always making this our pit stop when we are passing by. The green sauce on the side taste like garlic cilantro chutney and it's to die for! read more

Serving only vegetarian pizza, I didn't expect too much when I first tried this places. However, I was definitely extremely pleased with how good the pizza here is.

In Berkeley, it's great that they have this Shattuck location in addition to the one on Telegraph. This Shattuck location is also very close to the Bart station. I remember when their only location used to be the one on Center street. When we last went to this location the service was fairly quick. The pizza of the day then was the one with Yukon Potatoes. That one is very good and one of my top favorites at Sliver. And it's especially so when you add their famous green sauce which is unnecessarily addictive. We also tried their cookie which is like a pizza cookie. It was surprisingly good too. The chocolate melts right when you bite it. read more
