One of the more popular areas in Berkeley is a place called Cheeseboard Pizza. This place has a strong following and regular clientele, who attest to their flavorful creations on a daily basis. That is because they only offer one flavor per day, so you will never know what you will get. However, their pies do come in vegetarian and non vegetarian flavors. It is also only fifteen minutes by foot from Cal University.

Deep dish and thin crust creations are also offered at Zachary's Chicago pizza right here in Berkeley. On their menu is also a bunch of stuffed pizzas. This place can get crowded at times and you may have to wait over half an hour for a table, but you will not regret the wait once you sink your teeth in into one of their creations.

One interesting dive or haunt of many is Emilia's Pizzeria which is own and operated by one single person. Therefore buying a slice or pie at this place comes with the guarantee of the owner himself who does all the cooking and the serving. Many comment on the prompt and friendly service. This is basically a take out joint so do not be surprised if you only see one table outside. You can order ahead also if you wish to cut down on the wait.

Vegans and veggie lovers will find their joy at Gioia. In fact the word gioia is translated as joy. Most popular on their menu and one that gets a lot of positive comments is their funghi pizza. This creation has many different types of mushrooms and herbs on it that will give you a flavorful experience.

Silver is a jazz and pizzeria bar that rotates their menu once every two weeks. This ensures that you get varieties in your toppings and you will not get sick of the menu. The pie is really good and the place is getting popular for big groups and meetings, as the price is fairly reasonable for a whole pie.

Upscale Italian dining is also on offer from a place that has been open for almost half a century. Lo Cocos not only has its own mouth watering version of the pie but has many other salads and pastas on offer as well. Most do complain about the lack of space for parking so it is probably best to go there early or just to walk or take a cab. Do try their number 7, called the Sorrento.

Should you be really intent on finding the best pizza in Berkeley, this list can only do so much. In fact many other places offer a lot of Italian goodness in the city. So it is also recommended that you not only restrict yourself to the recommendations in this article, but go out and start your great pie hunt adventure and try as many others as possible.
