Pizzeria Violetta Oakland Reviews
I saw the sign as I was walking by coming back from a job that said that it's $12 for two slices of pizza and fresh lemonade. I thought man with prices these days that's a great deal. So I went inside and I got the pizza and it was hot fresh and delicious with house Maid lemonade not from concentrate. I was absolutely pleased with my pizza and the service I got as well as the facility was a little bit authentic like an old family from Italy cooking pizza right out of the kitchen. If I'm in the area again I will definitely swing by this place is a must-have for Pizza Lovers of all ages
Absolutely swinging for the fences, this small pizzeria, in Oakland's cemetery-adjacent Piedmont neighborhood, is now my new favorite Oakland Pizza. With a slice, perfectly calibrating flat dough crunch, with a chewy delicious after effect, sauce that is perfectly acidic and just a tad naturally sweet, and with high temperature cheese melted perfectly in an actual pizza oven, (you'd be surprised at a lot of places don't really have a new york-style pizza oven, it's a thing) these slices are 10 out of 10 for flavor, texture, and presentation. Cannot speak highly enough of this local Pizzeria. Querying Jonathan, the Pizza Chef, (as I am known to do) it was revealed to me that the dough is allowed to preferment, and is a mix of doughs, perfectly combining the flavor profile of sourdough, with that with a more neutral dough, like a New York slice. Great pizza, great people, great atmosphere, this tiny place represents what to do right about pizza.
Came here for a late lunch around 2 and some of the best fast pizza have had in a long time. The lunch deal is a good value: 2 slices and a drink for ~$12. Clean sleek interior with bar seating around the edge and a big table in the center
Aside from the amazing humans that run and work at this joint, this is one of the best east coast pizzas that you can have. Literally go 1-2/week! Their 2 slice deal is 🔥 and Sweet Lil Pig pizza is amazing! If they have cookies also snag one 🤤
Excellent NY-style pizza served in a welcoming and relaxed environment by friendly and talented chefs. The pizza combos are 🔥, prices are fair, and local drinks on point. Highly recommend.
This place is the cat's pajamas. The pizza as a whole is delicious, the crust is perfectly done, the sauce is excellent. The owner seems very nice and personable as well. I'm very happy to have found such a great local pizzeria.

I used to be a fan of Slicer at this same spot and Violetta has kept the pizza top notch. Amazing thin NY style pizza. The location is noisy so best for take out.
Good, cheap, creative. I’ve been coming here regularly (once a week or so) for a year and I’m a big fan. They have great pizza and prices, such that this is reliably the cheapest (and one of the best) places on Piedmont to eat. They routinely do specials that are never disappointing, and they have a nice selection of drinks.
Great place for families kids, very clean and staff were so friendly and nice, the vibe here was great. Food was so amazing and I highly enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. There is inside and outside seating and very quiet area and renovated I was so impressed with this new area! I loved it. They also have high chairs for kids.
We ordered the margarita and pepperoni pizza. It was absolutely amazing! It is so delicious with the perfect crust. We ordered online at 6:15pm and gave a pick up time of one hour later at 7:15 Pm. It was ready on time. My new favorite pizza spot.
Yummy easy slices that they heat up for you, I liked the one with pesto/tomato and the pepperoni/sausage and they have mozz and red pepper at the tables
Something Very Special is going on here. I was just walking buy and the great smell of fresh pizza caught my attention. I walked inside and noticed that they sell pizza by the slice. So I purchased 1 slice of everything they had. Wow was I impressed. The pizza was so good. I had to ask myself what it was that made it so damn good. The Sauce The toppings..The Crust..It's all good. This Pizza has so many great things going for it but if I had to say the one thing that stands out it would be the Crust. The crust is heavenly and it really makes this Pizza great. I usually buy a salad to go with my Pizza that graduated from slices to a whole 18 inch one size only pie. I love dipping this very special crust in the Italian salad dressing. The Service here is excellent and Friendly. They really make you feel welcome. It's a great place to bring your family to enjoy a very special but simple meal. To the Owners Johnathan and Sarah..Couldn't thank you enough.. ❤️
I was one of their newest customers when they first opened a couple years ago, the pizza was delicious back then. The pizza is still good until this day. The pizza is very delicious. I must admit that this is one of the best pizza places in the Bay Area. Small location but, bold in flavor. ATTENTION Keith Lee, come rate this restaurant.
Great pizza, pesto margarita is my favorite. Amazing hot sauce , extremely quick service and very kod friendly. My kids love this place.

A delicious slice, but lacks the charm of a neighborhood ‘pizza joint’ - it’s pretty much a take out spot in terms of atmosphere. It’s also expensive compared to any other pizzeria that serves by the slice - but there aren’t many of those these days so they don’t get dinged for that. They could use a menu update to highlight their relatively good deal of “2 slices and a canned soda or lemonade” to say “ANY two slices…” as it includes their ‘premium’ slices which is everything except for a cheese slice - which could also use a wording and design update to their in-store menu.

Great pizza slices , despite lack of high temp wood-fired oven and cannot order what you’d like.

Meh. It’s fine, but nothing special. Sparse toppings, bland flavor, too much cheese. (I realize many will see that last point as a plus!) Oddly I thought the slice I had at their Prescott Market location was MUCH better… this seemed like a different pizza place entirely. Will try somewhere else next time.

Doesn’t accept cash payment but does accept cash tips… okay. Customer service is mid as well but pizza is good
excellent 12 dollar two slice and a drink deal! usually like this place but someone on their staff has either not been properly trained to ID for alcohol or was power tripping with me today. this is not the climate to be making mistakes on peoples ID, especially w someone who looks like me. guy asked for a second opinion eventually, after bending my card.

25 minutes late on a to go orde, placed in off-time. Rough. Pizza is good, but not worth waiting an extra 25 minutes for. Business should update their timing estimates to avoid this problem.
