City Center Pizzeria Oakland Reviews
LOVE this place - City Center Pizzeria is our go to for our team at work - the amazing food and how fast the quality pasta and pizza can be made it phenomenal. Always so happy with the pesto chicken as my favorite (with some added red chili flakes and Parmesan) and I’m a guilty Hawaiian pizza fan and he does great at all of it. Always so friendly and happy to have this gem of a spot to enjoy!
Everything is so fresh and authentic!! The cook is also extremely friendly and brings great energy and care to each customer.
I love their pizzas, everything here is made fresh daily. Their staff are always working and their long time manager is very attentive, courteous, friendly and plain sweet. It is also a great spot for watching sports without being bothered by annoying alki fans.
Great food, great service, great prices. There's also a pretty good amount of seating. Would definitely go again

Great tasting and fresh pasta dishes. Pesto chicken penne and spaghetti & meatballs.
Friendly staff, quick and consistent service. I have ordered take out, delivery, and dine-in and always left now hungry and satisfied…
Food is amazing! Personal pizzas are about $11. And you can get add ons to make it about $14.
Great Pizza! Better owner! Great guy! Will come here again!
Great sports atmosphere, super friendly owner. Got the pizza was amazing.
I like the pizza here. It's good simple food for lunch. This place gets bonus points for having comfortable seating and a welcoming environment. Nice place to have a sit down lunch.
Thick crust with a nice crunch, tasty veggies that aren't over cooked, great cheese and sauce. Get a personal sized pizza and customize it how you please, only takes a few minutes. Definitely worth stopping by or getting delivery.
I absolutely love lunching here. The pizza is so delicious and Narco is the very best person to prepare your particular desires. If I ask him to add or substitute, he does it without any comments. I go there with my co worker every Monday and eating there is our highlight of the week. 😊
Great pizza, very convenient spot for lunch or take-out. The owner is so friendly, always gives me extra cheese. The place is clean too which I appreciate as a bit of a germophobe, I always see him washing his hands in between everything, like right after handling cash.
The best pizza place in the area! I work in downtown Oakland and come here about 2x a month. The service, the food and the chef are amazing! Make sure you come check it out!
This is genuinely one of the best pizza places I’ve ever been to. If you’re in the mood for a good personal pizza, and some amazing pasta, THIS is the place.
Clean atmosphere, friendly owner. Great food, reasonable prices and wine beer!! I love this place come all the time I'm in the neighborhood!!
Good pizzas and pastas, most friendly owner, and fair price for a decent lunch, which is hard to come by nowadays. Keep up the good work!!!
I’ve enjoyed both their pizzas and their pasta plates. Not what you’ll get in an authentic, SF, N. Beach restaurant, but not bad either
Great staff with customer service. Great pizza and pasta at a very affordable price. Great atmosphere music. I highly recommend.
I genuinely enjoy spending my lunch break here! The food never disappoints and the service is top notch! The worker is very friendly, kind and quick with his service. The interior of the restaurant is clean and has a home like feeling. For the warm days you can also enjoy the chairs and tables that are provided outdoors. I highly recommend this pizza spot! 🍕
Great sports atmosphere, super friendly owner. Got the pizza was amazing.
The food is very good, the place is very relaxing and has a great vibe.

This was incredible pizza, fresh ingredients, you can taste the quality! On top of that the owner had the best customer service! Very friendly and professional!
I bought 12-personal sized pizza’s for my team and they were all super happy and they asked for me to order from there again the next time we order lunch. Well done and thank you for the great tasting food, friendly service and quick-turn around.
I love going here for a quick bite! It’s my go to place! The personal pizza can be customized to your liking and are perfectly portioned! The owner is super nice! He always makes sure to make you feel welcomed! Space for indoor or outdoor dining!
As an office worker in downtown Oakland, I don't always eat an entire pizza for lunch, but when I do, I am sure to pick City Center Pizzeria. Their staff is friendly and efficient. The sausage and pesto is particularly good and I like the texture of their crust.
Very friendly staff, chill atmosphere. I got the pesto chicken pasta. The portion was huge! They made it fresh, and quickly. The sauce was very creamy.
A month ago, I had a craving for pizza during my lunch break. Thank goodness for City Center Pizzeria! I ordered a 10” spicy sausage pizza; prepared by welcoming and friendly customer service staff members. The food came out hot, fast and very tasty. Please consider City Center Pizzeria for your next pizza craving or party!
I’ve been getting pizza here for over 10 years and the food and service is always the best. There’s always a variety to choose come from for personal pizzas and they have sodas, beer and wine. Even without the fast service and good food, the staff alone are a good reason to keep coming back.
Went there for the first time. Ordered one of the personal pizzas already premade. The owner was very friendly and personable. I waited less than 5 minutes and it cost less than $10. Good pizza. Would definitely come back again.
Although I've only been here twice for lunch, I've now added this place to my weekly lunch rotation. I've ordered the personal pan veggie pizza both times and both times it was delicious. You also get a bottled water with your purchase which makes this a very affordable lunch option. The employees go out of there way to be friendly and welcoming too which I love. There are a lot of other food options(Italian dishes) too and they look pretty hearty. If I ever get tired of the pizza I'll try the other options.
First timer. I wasn’t a super fan of the ham on the pizza I got, but I’ll be sure to go back and try another pizza with a different topping! Great customer service. Also, my personal pizza was ready in a matter of minutes.

The owner is very kind; specializing in personal sized pizzas and pasta dishes. It has a cozy small business feel with walls and furniture that could tell many stories.
Super friendly folks. Fresh pizza made with very good ingredients. Crust well done but soft inside … not a chewy rustic crust. Lunch pizza $10 actually big enough for two people. Pasta dishes looked very good too.
Honestly I did not know what to expect from this place but I have ordered a pasta and it was cool until I warmed it up later on that night and my pasta was GREEN.. and that freaked me out and now I’m concerned if my food was new… kind of traumatized me to not eat anywhere
