Wow no meat?? Didn't even notice! Freaking unbelieveable pizza!! We were walking down the street and spotted this freaking long line, and thought what the heck? I talked my BF into standing in line and trying a 1/2 pizza. I am so glad we did. A not so hidden neighborhood gem that I'm giving thumbs up! Closed Sunday and Monday,... More

The Cheeseboard Pizza is in the "gourmet ghetto" of Shattuck Avenue in North Berkeley (in the same neighborhood as Chez Panisse, Gregoire's, Cesar). There is one organic, peak-of-flavor pizza offered each day (past favorites include the corn pizza, and tomato with goat cheese), with two openings daily for lunch and dinner. The menu also includes salads, soft drinks, wine and... More

The pizzeria used to run out of pizza and close early, years ago, and you would be considered fortunate to find a slice before they ran out, and doubly lucky if you could catch the occasional live lunch-time jazz band. But these days, they have extended their hours to dinner, bake more pizza, and the live performances are lunch and... More

The cheeseboard offers one pizza each day - its a menu with one item. I've never had one that wasn't great. I love their use of lemon. The music at lunch is fun, albeit a big loud. But you can, and we always do, eat the pizza in the grassy median of Shattuck Avenue (where the sign says you can't...... More

Loved the pizza yesterday; it changes every day and that is the only kind they offer that day. Lines out the door but they move very fast. Be sure you know what you want before you hit the counter. They always add an extra slice if you order a four slice half for instance. They offer several bottled beers and... More

Arizmendi actually an offshoot of here. The pizza is so great- crisp on the bottom, garlickly on top - no matter what the topping of the day. Must eat immediately or get a half baked to cook at home. Gets soggy right away if you try to get it to go.

We went here thanks to the many good reviews on TripAdvisor and elsewhere. It was great - the pizza that day had parmesan, herbs, and lemon. A simple, healthy, and filling lunch. I enjoyed the casual, friendly atmosphere. It seems like a cross-section of Berkeley comes here everyday - it's very much the neighborhood hangout for one of the more... More

...they only have one to choose from. But don't worry, you wont be disappointed, you have choices: you can order one slice, a half or whole pizza. Oh yes, you can also order a small or a large salad. Just take whatever they are offering and you'll love it. Live music just added to the appeal. Check out their cheese... More

It is consistently excellent pizza but, always vegetarian and only one type of pizza per day. I have had some pizzas that I liked better than others, but I have never had one that is poorly made in terms of crust, cooking or ingredients. Go online first and check out the selections and be prepared to wait inline to get... More
