Blondie's


A pizza institution
2340 Telegraph Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94704
United States
+1 510 548 1129
For years this place been cranking out fresh, hot slices loaded with cheese, generous toppings and a substantial crust. Modeled after the famous grab-and-go pizzerias of New York, it holds its own nicely against them. The inside has a few lean-on bars upon which you can eat, but most grab a slice and hit the Avenue. Slice prices vary depending on what you order, but you can also order whole pies with all the usual toppings like veggies, pepperoni or sausage.

Fat Slice Pizza


The name says it all
2375 Telegraph Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94704
United States
+1 510 548 6479
http://www.fatslicepizza.com/
This place offers quick, hot slices topped with all sorts of fresh ingredients, lots of cheese, and a thick and hearty crust. With lots of neon and bright light, and a few more tables at which to sit and relax, some think it the best pizzeria around Telegraph.

Gourmet Ghetto


Glories of gourmet

United States
North of downtown Berkeley, this area features some of the best in fine cuisine and gourmet shopping in the city. Locals looking for food that is a cut above head here for the best in ethnic and local dining. The keystone is definitely Chez Panisse, known throughout the world as the place to eat in the Bay Area. You will also find some of the best tapas can be found at Cesar, sushi at Toyo and authentic Thai at Cha Am. There are also several vegetarian options, like the Japanese Cha-Ya, and great breakfasts and lunches at Smokey Joe's Cafe, to name just a few.

Lanesplitter Pizza & Pub


Pints & Slices
2033 San Pablo Avenue
(at University Avenue)
Berkeley, CA 94702
United States
+1 510 845 1652
http://www.lanesplitterpizza.com
At this East Bay beer and pizza joint, located on San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, patrons can feast on thin and crispy slices while momentarily evading the bustle of the noisy neighborhood intersection outside. Begin your meal with a big salad full of fresh veggies and topped with your choice of house-made dressings. The pies here are strictly New York-style (some with names like "Carnivore," "Garbage Pie" and the cult classic, "Heartstopper" with bacon and Gorgonzola), and regulars will attest that Lanesplitter does it right. Plenty of tables and a ton of barstools mean there's almost always a spot for you, and there's even a charming patio out back complete with heat lamps and picnic tables. On the stereo: rock 'n' roll. On the walls: a rotating collection of locally produced artwork. On tap: a rotating selection of more than a dozen locally produced microbrews (including Russian River Brewing Company's Damnation, a favorite of regulars). See website for menu and more.

Purple Pepper Pizza Cafe


Not a purple pepper around
5335 College Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94618
United States
+1 510 653 5001
Although the neon, plastic and yellow accents of this pizzeria make it seem like a dive for pepperoni and cheese, it is anything but. This restaurant serves up both traditional and creative variations. You will find nicely stuffed calzones, filling lasagna, salads and antipasto. But go for the pizza. Pick a size (from 12 to 18 inches) and then choose one of the many tempting pies. Try the Rockridgian with its fresh tomatatoes, basil, garlic, ricotta and mozzarella, or the Kitchen Sink. The chefs handspin their own pizza dough, and the sauce is their own special blend.

Rustica


Gourmet pizza at its best
5422 College Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94618
United States
+1 510 654 1601
Few if any places create such a vast menu of traditional, gourmet and specialty pizzas like this eatery. From the classic Four Cheese and Margherita, to its own creations like the Ambrosia, Cajun and Provencal, as well as succulent rotisserie chicken and panini. You will know this place by the classic Doric column out front. Inside you will find casual and comfortable seating, pictures of the Italian countryside hanging on the walls and a dessert case that tempts you from the get-go. Weather permitting, there is limited seating on the sidewalk.

The Parkway Speakeasy Theater


Beer at the Movies
1834 Park Boulevard
(at E. 18th Street)
Berkeley, CA 94606
United States
+1 510 814 2400 / Office: +1 510 848 1994
http://www.speakeasytheaters.com
The Parkway Speakeasy, which bills itself as "California's First Speakeasy Theater," is truly an anomaly. Patrons are invited to come in and enjoy the meticulously chosen program of films (from classics to indies to month-old Hollywood stuff), all while swigging beer and scarfing pizza. Understandably, the Parkway is insanely popular among locals. The food menu is as lovingly assembled as the movie calendar, featuring healthy sandwiches, hearty pastas, luscious salads, mediterranean specialties and decadent desserts. Pitchers of micro-brewed beer are as startlingly cheap as the theater's admission prices, and wine is offered by the glass or by the bottle. See website for menu, showtimes, event calendar, weekly specials (including family night), El Cerrito location details and more.

cash only.

Zachary's Chicago Pizza


Great stuffed pizza
5801 College Ave
Berkeley, CA 94618
United States
+1 510 655 6385
http://www.zacharys.com
This famous Chicago-style pizza company is always packed with UC students, families and out-of-towners. No one seems to mind the 20-minute wait for the stuffed masterpiece. The pizza is made as thick as a pumpkin pie (yes, you do need a knife and fork), and the ingredients are put on upside down with tomatoes on top, meat on the bottom. So filling and so delicious, count on bringing home leftovers.
