Pizza Twist Berkeley Reviews
I don’t usually leave reviews, but after a long day at work I decided to try this spot that serves Indian-inspired pizza, sandwiches, and wings. I normally go for Mexican food at dinnertime, but their pizza menu caught my attention. Nate — who I believe may be the owner — helped me out and provided excellent guidance. I ordered a half Butter Chicken / half Achari Chicken pizza, and it was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, satisfying, and honestly among the best pizzas I’ve had. I asked for extra spice, and the cook nailed it. Perfect seasoning, perfect bake. I’m back working in the area this week, and this place has officially become my new go-to dinner stop.
We went there and randomly tried the achari paneer pizza, and omg it was sooo good 😭🍕 The achari flavor had that tangy, spicy kick but still felt comforting. And the paneer was soft, not dry at all. Everything just blended so nicely. We honestly didn’t expect it to hit that good. Now we’re already talking about going back and trying more from the menu 😂✨
We ordered the Manchurian chicken pizza and pesto pizza—both were absolutely amazing! The service was very good, and the owner was very humble and welcoming. A great experience overall.
Love the variety of pizzas so many great Options ! Food is so delicious,I tried halal achari chicken and the owner communication is Damm good👍very friendly and attentive.definitely coming back
Highly recommend the Paneer achari twist thin crust pizza! Very flavorful, could go little low on cheese. The pesto pasta was a bit dry. Seasoned fries were good. I recommend ordering their specialty twist items. Plenty of indoor seating available. They got board games on each tables to play while you wait for food. Service is good.
This place has an Amazing ambiance and THE FOOD WAS SO AMAZING!!!🔥 The crust was just right! 10/10 pizza, highly recommend this place if you’re craving pizza!! 🍕
I happened to walk by and noticed that they had Indian spice flavored pizzas and I had to try it! The guy at the register (owner I think) was very nice and friendly and helped me pick the pizza I actually really enjoyed! Wow, the ingredients are clean and fresh and the crust is just perfect- not too thin and not too thick, perfectly crispy. The flavors are amazing and I will definitely be bringing my kids here next time! Thank you and good luck!
Pizza is delicious, ordered achari style paneer pizza, was balanced in all respects. Also ordered Manchurian style soya chaap (plant based wings). These were sooooo good!!!! They were filling and had extremely balanced sauce, not overly sweet and had perfect amnt of sauteed vegetables as part of wing sauce. Super good.. Loved it.... Staff is friendly too, and Nate in particular was a kind person, thanks!
I ordered the spicy lamb kebab pizza, and OMG it was so delicious! The pizza was cooked to perfection and everything tasted so fresh!! I also ordered the mango habanero wings 10/10. Do yourself a favor and add these to your order ! Will definitely be back soon! I think I found my new pizza place !
Absolutely delish if you like pizza and perhaps wanna try some Indian creative flavors. Achari chicken pizza was 10/10.

I stopped in on my bike ride commute home and was greeted by a kind homeless man watching TV -- just like Bob's donuts in the good ole days. I rang the bell and Nate came from the back to take my order. I asked him what a pizza twist was and he said it was Indian style pizza. I asked for recommendations and he gave me several delicious sounding ones, of which I chose the butter chicken. While I was waiting he gave me a slice of curry pizza from the back and I knew I was in for a treat. When he brought the finished pizza out, he made sure to show me what it looked like before I hopped on my bike and made a mess... And it did look beautiful. I love delicious pizza, but I love people who are proud of their work even more. Stop in, you won't regret it.

Amazing food and great service at Pizza Twist Berkeley! Achari chicken pizza is incredibly delicious, and the masala fries perfectly seasoned special. Thanks to Nitan for friendly and excellent service. Highly recommend !🍕✨
Amazing pizza, great service, I was eating by myself in the restaurant, which I personally really appreciate. Everybody was just coming in to pick up their pizza and leave so if you like quiet places, this is a place to be. As a front desk, guy, pretty sweet guy definitely gotta leave him a tip
Pizza Twist is absolutely fantastic! I have a strict gluten allergy, and Mani (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made me feel safe and confident about enjoying my meal. The gluten-free pizza was delicious, fresh, and flavorful—honestly one of the best I’ve had. It’s rare to find a place that truly cares about dietary restrictions while still delivering amazing taste. I can’t recommend Pizza Twist enough, both for the food and the outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Indian fusion pizza place with solid service! Ate everything I ordered. Manager gave good recommendations. Definitely coming back
Thank you Pizza Twist for providing pizzas for the Ruth Acty Elementary School 1st grade class party! The owner was really generous in working with our budget. All of the pizza flavors worked out great and the hand-tossed crust was delicious. The kids especially loved the chocolate chip cookie pizzas. Thank you for supporting our school community!
The pizza was hot and fresh, and fast. The crust had the perfect golden crunch, and the service was friendly and efficient. One of the best pizza I ever had. my fev is the Combination pizza and the Chicken Tikka...
Interesting custom twists on Indian‑inspired pizza. I came here to try Indian‑fusion pizza for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The achari chicken pizza was flavorful and had rich aromas. The owners were very friendly, and we had a great time dining in. Overall, a great location with wonderful people!
Pizza Twist nailed it with their Tandoori Chicken Indian Pizza. The crust was perfectly baked, the toppings were generous, and the tandoori flavor was rich and authentic. A must-try if you love Indian fusion food. Five stars all the way!
Absolutely loved this place. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients. Perfect spot for a date night or special occasion. Will definitely be back

We moved to Berkeley a little over a year ago and this has been our go to pizza place. The pizzas are always great and this evening I called to fix my DoorDash order. Nate fixed what I needed and was extremely pleasant. Thank you!

Customer service was amazing here. I have never been in a place where they are so attentive with the client. Pizza was really good, this is a place to stop by if you’re around the area. Chicken tikka masala was a really well flavored pizza 👍

I ordered the family deal, one pepperoni and one italian sausage pizza. As I warned my son, cheaper pizza will always be that and it was, but I gave them a shot. All you can taste is the tomato paste sauce. The crust, meats, vegetables and cheese have little flavor. This is wasteful pizza for kids who have no taste. If you want crappy pizza, this is your place. My son said the cookie pizza is weird. We both thought it was ok as far as flavor, but dry. Again, this place is for little children who have no standards.
