Bobby G's Pizzeria

Berkeley

Quality Hand Crafted Pizza Made In-House

At Bobby G's Pizzeria, we take immense pride in delivering quality handcrafted pizza that is made in-house with utmost care and attention to detail. From the moment you step into our restaurant, you are greeted with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked pizza dough and locally sourced ingredients. Our commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of our pizza-making process. One of the key elements that sets our pizza apart is our 24-hour cold fermented dough, which is meticulously prepared and rolled daily. We use Giusto’s flour from San Francisco, renowned for its exceptional quality and consistency. This slow fermentation process allows the dough to develop rich, complex flavors, resulting in a crust that is light, airy, and perfectly crisp. We believe that the secret to great pizza lies in the quality of its ingredients. That’s why we take great care in sourcing the freshest, locally sourced ingredients available. From vine-ripened tomatoes to hand-picked herbs, each component of our pizzas is prepared daily to ensure maximum flavor and freshness.

Delicious and Fresh Pizza, Local Craft Beer, and Community Focus

For our vegan and dairy-sensitive customers, we offer a delicious alternative with our house-made tofu-based soy cheese and organic marinara sauce. Crafted in-house using the finest ingredients, our soy cheese melts beautifully atop our pizzas, offering a creamy, indulgent texture that rivals traditional dairy-based cheeses. Paired with our tangy organic marinara sauce, it’s a flavor combination that’s sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. At our establishment, we are passionate about three things: delicious and fresh pizza, local craft beer, and community. Our commitment to quality extends beyond our food to include our selection of 13 local and craft beers on draft. From hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, we offer a diverse range of options to complement your pizza perfectly. Since opening our doors in 2006, we have been more than just a place to grab a slice and a beer. We have been a hub for the community, bringing people together through a shared love of food, drink, and good company. Whether it’s cheering on your favorite sports team, enjoying live music, or testing your trivia knowledge, there’s always something happening at our establishment.

Came for their wednesday night trivia with some friends and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was homey and friendly and the food and beverages were solid. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a laid back place to chill.

---I've been coming here for more than ten years and it's even better than home! When you need to go there, they WANT to take you in! The regulars and staff make you feel plenty welcome, because you actually are. No waiting around for 10 minutes before someone notices you, and what sport or team you're into. ---Food is fantastic! though I'm partial to the veggie pizza and stuffed bread sticks. ---The recent new owners bring in a new sense of care for the business---painting, remodeling, repairing a plenty, and adding new beers and tap and non-alcoholic drinks (like the very-lightly-carbonated lemonade!) Wednesday night TRIVIA is always packed and features...wait for it! genuine trivia! researched by the hosts and built on a timely topic, not canned questions copped from an internet trivia site. Win the best-team-name competition and get a free pitcher of beer! Great music outside at least once a week. Very kid friendly. Hungry? What are you waiting for??? See you at Bobby G's soon! Right by Downtown Berkeley BART Station *****

A great neighborhood place for good pizza and a very friendly staff. I'm new to Berkeley. Been working here for 20 years. But now live here. My first experience at Bobbie G's was awesome. When I go there now I feel like Norm on Cheers. Good place.

I have been going to Bobby G's for a few years now. Always a great place to chill, grab a beer and go watch a game. A great neighborhood place. Well things are changing at Bobby G's. My boyfriend and I were recently in there and the place is better than ever. They'be done some renovating but it's still neighborhood. It's like Cheers in Berkeley as a fellow patron said. The staff and owner are all wonderful and nice and accommodating. John at the bar is a friend of mine (see what I did there). Super great, nice guy. And then there is Mike. A great guy who always has a smile. And lastly. The food. It has greatly improved. The owner comped us a delicious melon salad that I am going to steal and make at home. She said that they were trying out new items. I hope that makes the menu. I'm a little hesitant in posting this review as it is a neighborhood place, however, I really hope they keep attracting new customers because they are doing great and deserve success. They also have trivia nights and live music. Check it out! Oh and great chicken wings and pizza. And the whole menu is really good and affordable!

Block area, that are very hard to beat anywhere you go, seriously come check them ALL out. I just live aroumd the corner and have tried them all.......And dont EVEN get started on the Chicken Parm

The wings are to die for! I asked them for the best beer and they delivered. It was called "the house". Great experience, staff is very friendly as well. Live music was playing when I got there it felt like I was at music festival or something. I also ordered a pizza the dough reminds me of something I ate in Italy...something similar to Blaze pizza here. I didn't care for the Kalamata olives on my topping. but all else was excellent. Would definitely one back!

This place has the only authentic nyc type thin crust slightly greasy and plenty cheesy chewy pizza in the bay area! What I especially like about them is that they don't advertise themselves as nyc pizza unlike most others that claim to be but are a million light years away from being one! Make sure you order cheese pizza don't load up with other ingredients that spoil the real pizza taste! Love also the real wholesome service!

We came here to watch a big football game and had an awesome time! We ordered a bbq chicken pizza and Caesar salad. The pizza crust was amazing, but we were really shocked that the pizza was made with red sauce as the base instead of bbq sauce. The Caesar salad dressing tasted like straight up anchovies. Wouldn't recommend ordering this one unless you like a strong fishy taste in your dressing!! Service was excellent and it was such an awesome place to watch the game. Thanks Bobby G's!

I had to place a large order for an extremely chaotic student film crew. Gretchen was an absolute angel and extremely patient with me as I had to change the order a couple of times. I know I was being a huge pain in the butt but she didn't show an ounce of frustration. She was super nice and made me feel a lot better after a stressful day. Now I'm a Bobby G's stan for life!

The service was great. It's a great ambiance, pizza/beer and game night vibes. The staff is really nice. The pizza was okay, nothing special. The salads are really good. Gnocchi was delicious. Wings, get buffalo wings, don't get the garlic parmesan, it's not what you would expect.

Great place to watch a game, grab some pizza, and hang out with some friends. Pizza is decent. Great beers on tap even if they don't have a huge selection. Always on point with whatever sports event you are trying to watch. Cool peeps.

Easily my favorite pizza I've had in the Bay since I moved here a year ago. I used to really love Rotten City pizza but I've gotten burnt pizzas the past few times going and it's just way too expensive too get a burnt pizza. Then my friend recommended Bobby G's as an alternative. I'm so glad I took him up on the suggestion! About similar in price to Rotten City, this place just won my heart. We got the Meat Lovers Pizza and the Triple Mushroom Pizza and both were incredible. The Triple Mushroom Pizza actually ended up the winner in our household- I think because of the goat cheese.

Bobby G's is a Berkeley legend. Came here numerous times over the years and never had a bad experience. Their pizza is on point, surely one of the best in the area, especially for those who like it NY Style. If that is not enough reason to visit Bobby G, there is always Pliny on tap and a hand-curated selection of other craft beers. Great place to watch the Warriors game too. Whoever said pizza and beer is a perfect pairing, was not lying. They probably went to Bobby G's before :)

5 stars for the ambiance and 3 stars for the food. My sister and I got a half a chopped salad, 12" Margherita pizza with sausage added, and a pitcher of Dry Apple Cider. The highlight of our food and drink order was probably the sausage they used. The crust had a nice crunch to it, although it was also a tad dry, which took away from the chew I usually like to have in pizza crusts. The tomato sauce they used reminded me of Totino's frozen pizza. The salad was fine and pretty straightforward. They used quite a bit of dressing. For bar food, it was fine, and maybe I would have enjoyed it more if we started eating later in the night. Finally, our pitcher of Dry Apple Cider was flat, as I overheard someone say that they had just run out of Dry Apple Cider after we placed our order. It made sense that the tap was out and that the cider that night was lacking. I'm assuming it isn't always like that. The service was good overall, which I always appreciate. The guys running the bar and food counter were polite and prompt. Now, this was a VERY fun place to watch a Warriors game, and I'm not even a big basketball fan these days. We were there for the 2022 Western conference finals, and the crowd was diverse and lively. The experience of just hanging out at this place was a great way to spend an evening. The food and drinks were secondary. I'd go back to check out a game or other event that they might be broadcasting here. I may give some of their other pizzas a shot just to see what else they have to offer.

This is such a fun and lively place. I'm always drawn towards Bobby G's on the weekend because of the super fun atmosphere and jazz band that frequents right outside! My friend and I came here and found the service to be great as well. We ordered a margherita pizza which had great flavor and a perfectly crispy and chewy crust. We also got the garlic bread and marinara sauce to start, but I'd probably pass on this next time as the flavor is a bit underwhelming. Excited to go back and hopefully try some of their beers next time!

We order pizza for take-out from Bobby G's and it never disappoints: cheesy, savory, tasty pizza with big slices. I enjoy driving downtown and popping in to pick it up -- it's always lively inside and outside with sports on TV and friends enjoying pizza and beer on Friday nights. Someday I'll meet friends and eat in -- either inside or in the parklet -- ideally when they have a live band jamming in the corner outside. For now, the kids demand that I bring the pizza home for a movie instead. If you like a lively pizza joint for a festive dinner and drinks, I recommend Bobby G's Pizzeria.

Omg I freaking loved their pizza. My friends and I were at a concert deon doors down and wanted a quick bite. We ordered slices of pepperoni pizza and wow it was sooo delicious! The crust was thin just how I like it and it hit the spot. I would definitely go back here. I wish they delivered to alameda

I really enjoy Bobby G's, its so friendly, great pizza, pasta & more plus really good cold beer. They sell Pliny on tap. Fun to join the regulars, you won't be alone or your own group will feel welcome. Multiple sports events on all day. Try them out.

they played banger music (Rise Against) and the guy who gave me the pizza was very cool. 100% reccomend the pizza slice was pretty big but also thin. (not a bad thing just an observation) It's best if you fold it. Was really really good. I wanna go back

Great pizza !! I got a slice of just pepperoni and it was crispy , cheese was perfect and no flop. They hook it up with the pepperoni! Also they play three different types of sports which is awesome cuz it’s hard to find a place that plays hockey The service was excellent and the vibe was chill. Shout out to the bartender wearing a suicidal tendencies hoodie. My favorite band ! Definitely coming back!

"Old Dependable". Great thin crust pies. Super friendly staff. Awesome panini sandwiches. Music selection takes me back. I don't have an opinion on the beer. Easy downtown location. A Berkeley institution.

Totally honorable slice of straight up pizza, great selection of brews, Great staff, and a convenient location in the heart of downtown Berkeley. I'm normally not a pizza and beer kind of guy, but tonight I made an exception and I'm glad that I did. Their meat combo was cooked perfectly crispy just around the edges the meat was good, Beer was great, I ordered the propaganda ale. I would give this place 5 out of five stars except just so many screens playing so many basketball games made the place kind of noisy I had to shut it out to focus on the delicious pizza. But I highly recommend this place to anyone in the neighborhood who likes pizza.

This place is legit. We were looking for a place to watch ALL THE GAMES and Bobby G’s delivered. Incredible pizza (mushroom w goat cheese was a hit), and a solid selection of cold beer.
