these make zero sense. "oh ya its ok, 7.4"
"this is great pizza, best in the area, 8.1"
the scale has just become 7-8.5. 7 being bad, 8.5 being amazing.
I work next door to this place. The main reasons nobody ever recommends it is because of the inherent bias towards everything in SF > Oakland. Uptown Oakland is becoming more hipster with craft this and that, which makes these traditional places doing it right fly completely off the radar. It's a relatively new and small place that came after COVID. People tend to think there's no reason to visit Oakland anymore with all the sports teams gone and the high levels of crime and homeless.
On first looks alone that's an 8.4-8.6, but upon further study it also looked a little dry so that might knock it down to an 8.2 or 8.3 but I couldn't see it any lower than that. That place is gonna be B U S Y and recommended MUCH higher than 40th very quickly.
Dave's Google reviews are 4/5 stars "everything was perfect" but Imma keep that star
True New Yorker pizza
Place about to be poppin
"Best pizza in the bay area hands down" so I gave it the same score I just gave to a California place copying Chicago deep dish. The Patriots SB meltdown has also melted Dave's brain. Even to the point of pronouncing Mama's as "mummas" 😂
I've had it. The flavor on this pizza is incredible, but you need to get it hot out of the oven in a pie. It's an 8.5 hot and probably a 7.9 on a reheat.
Should have tried Gioia in Berkeley or SF…
How 'bout those Seahawks Dave?
looks dry, looks not enough cheese, trying to be something it isn't. Weak italian immitation. 6.4
its nice when you can make someones life a whole lot better in just three minutes
Best pizza
Just changed lives for better. Love it.
Lived in the bay area back in the 80s and 90s. There were a few decent pizza places, maybe 7.5-8.0. Never lasted more than 2 or 3 years. Lived in Sacramento for almost 10 years. There was a Brooklyn guy who opened a pizza place, easily an 8.4 by your scale. Also had the best true calzone I've ever had. Great guy, went there once every 2 weeks for a year. Missed a couple months for family reasons, went back and "poof", gone. California doesn't appreciate simple quality products, ever. Born and raised in NY. Live in KY for last 23 years. Place in Lexington called Brooklyn pizza, which was really good. Came back from deployment, took my family to get pizza, and it was then a Five Guys. Disappeared. What a shame. In KY, Goodfellas is the best I can find.
Come on! That's a 8.15
i see how you guys forgot how he treats his employees extremely fast
Nice lookin Pizza! Could have been 8.3+ just by looks.
Having grown up in New York, and now living in Oakland, I have to agree that this is the best New York pizza in the area. Weirdly enough, however, my wife (who grew up in the East Bay), hated it. I think you have to have NYC (or at least east coast) roots to really understand what a good pizza tastes like…
Go 800 miles north to Hillbottom Pie in Port Townsend, WA if you're on the west coast.
8.1 again, this show is washed officially
Did Dave go to Tony's?
Your conservativeNESS is seeping out into your score. Don't take their city and state location out on their score. That look like a legit East Coast pie slice.
Dave you know the number 1 enemy of pizza is the box . I have a million dollar idea for a pizza box. Help me develop it . I only want 10% of the rev.
Appreciate ya putting in the effort to find the best spots so I don’t have to
I been going there for a while now
Mama's boy LOOKS good, but trust me it isn't even top 3 in the area. The dough, the choice of cheeses, and sauce are ALL MEDIOCRE. DO NOT LET THE CHAR FOOL YOU. I live 3 blocks away and I drive to Berkeley for my slices.
Dave lost all credibility with this score. Also, who gave him the recommendations in this area?
Arinell pizza is the best in this entire area, and it's not even close. Unfortunately the original owner sold the place but I just went to the Berkeley location for a slice two weeks ago and it still holds up. If Mama's boy is an 8.1 Arinells is an EASY 9.1 – but I'd give Arinell a 7.9 so…
Guys- just moved into the area recently. This is probably some of the best pizza I have ever eaten in my opinion.
Rating is 10+ for me.
1:50 Gary Payton behind him?
I don’t know if it’s because he’s out at the Left Coast but he’s made it harder than usual to break an 8.0 .. That pie looked like a usual 8.0 – 8.2.. Still suffering though wearing the Pats hat.😎
Dave, you gotta try Rose Pizzeria in Berkeley and Blondies
8.1 come on man!! 😂 that's at least an 8.9!!!
Derby city pizza new Albany indiana. But based out Louisville Kentucky. BUILDING A franchise.
You need to go to Blue bird pizza while youre in Oakland
Hell yeah!!!!!
Thank god you went there, I went last year and lost my marbles and knew Dave needed to come! Miracle!!
u shud hit up Sliver or Cheeseboard or Arizmendi
Jew
GO TO CORNER SLICE IN LIVERMORE!
Day by day, he's morphing into a pizza
But 8.0
That’s an 8.8, brother.
That shirt made me laugh so hard
Try Old Chicago pizza ! In Petaluma ca. Best deep dish pie around!!!
You know the rules.
Only one bite.
He took over 10 bites.
So score is 10.
Because you didn’t try Tony’s or Jules

Now this is a solid review! Just looking at the buildings beside this location you're like wtf imo but hey I'm from FL. Anything over an 8 now a days is best in the bizz!
California doesn't know good pizza if it came up and kicked them in their sedere!
