Perfect crust! If you like think Neapolitan style pizzas this is the spot. I tried the knucklehead for the first time at califraft at Walnut Creek only to find that they were even closer to me by original pattern at jack london. Got the pepperoni the second time and it still didn't disappoint. These guys need to open their own place, this is my go-to pizza spot now!

With all the food-stand ambience of "no ambience needed because the pie is that good," Citizen makes a very good pie. Wonderful flavor and good crispy crust (ordered the sausage pie and added pepperoni). Location was Friday at Cali-Craft (WC, CA). Quick easy buzzer service for a quintessentially artisanal dish. Only drawback for me was cost because I could easily have eaten two of those pies, but you make me look good in that regard (an exuberant appetite, being indicative of vibrant health in certain cultures/times etc.), as opposed to me being a loaf and full as hell off two slices of crap pizza, but my musings are to nothing )...so I guess I can't complain. Also asking for an item to be 'lower cost' is like asking to defer the doomsday asteroid, and I suppose I would just be better off eating whatever pizza I can procure in the face of such things. Delicious!

We absolutely love you guys but today was a bummer. Website says open at 3:00pm on Friday and you had a couple of great sounding specials. Girl working said it would be about 15 more minutes at 3:20. Wasn't open until 3:50 and we had to leave. Maybe next time. Are your hours reliable? Thanks.

Honestly - this place blew away my expectations. There was one man, casually whipping out top class pies out of the beautiful Dome oven. I took one bite of the Margherita Pizza and was genuinely in shock - how was this slice so perfectly thin and crispy. Literally the best first bite I've ever had. They have some really neat items on the menu and service was nothing short of great.The first bite was an instant 9.6/10. The pizzas are definitely in the 8s and 9s in general. Highly recommended!

We got two pies to complement our beers at Original Pattern Brewing: the Margherita ($20) and the Pepperoni ($22). Both were thoroughly delicious! The pizzas came out about 25 minutes after we placed our order, just as the chef (Jeffrey Amber) had predicted. We also got some mixed green salads @$10; they were fine but not especially worthy of a Yelp.When you order from Jeff, you'll be paying Oakland sales tax (10.25%) and will be presented with the opportunity to leave a tip (which we did).Recommended!

Went to Citizen Pizza as they setup shop right next to Calicraft. Beer and pizza - yeast siblings that were born to go together.We ordered an Outside Voice, Margherita, and a Last Bell. Took 20 or so minutes to get our food as they're made to order in limited oven space. The crust is quite nice - super thin and has some chew to it. However, due to the thickness, the pizzas don't go to far - 2 people could easily take one of these down.Flavors are great. The Outside Voice is super unique and tastes like a baked potato. Minor complaint - the crusts get quite a bit of char too them - more than most of our group liked.Looking forward to trying out some of their other interesting flavors next time.

Feed. And be fed! The tagline for Citizens Pizza.Always in search of good, local pizza and have been pleased with a few establishments I've tried. What pushed CP to near the top of list, the fact they are co-located with Original Pattern Brewing. To be honest not the biggest OP fan (never like beer places that charge tax) but the ambience and vibe is cool and laid bag. The folks behind the bar are knowledgeable and good humored. But that's talk for the OP review. Let's talk pizza. The negative first. The price. Holy hell some of these pies are $22-25 for a medium size pizza. I e tried four of the pizzas on the menu from the traditional Margherita to the kitchen sink with Promesa and a few in between including the Outside Voice and Don Ho. First time having pineapple on my pie, just days before flying to Oona for vacation.Overall the pizzas are very good, even the vegan offering, Promisa. Coming from a vegan lifestyle in the past, this was an interesting offering and while it didn't look as good as some of the other pizzas, it tastes good. No longer a fan of the vegan meats or cheeses this is a solid offering for those who are.The pizzas are done in a pizza oven giving them a nicely charred crust that is hand tossed. The flavors for the more traditional pizzas are good. Not that I've ever put tater tots on a pie. But on the Outside Voice it worked with the caramelized onions and and chipotle cream.Overall if you want to enjoy some good pizza with good beer with good vibes, I do recommend CP for those pizzas when in and around Jack London.

Stopped at a Citizen Pizza just to get a takeaway pizza! We came here on a Saturday at 6pm and the wait was about 15 minutes!The workers were so sweet and seemed like they loved helping us. We ordered the Knucklehead but subbed the sausage for pepperoni. Giving this a 4/5 because the crust could have been better. But overall a good pizza stop and love that it's attached to Original Pattern Brewery!

Today was the second time I've tried out Citizen Pizza. Both times, I've tried out their pizza while visiting Fieldworks in Berkeley. On my first visit, I tried out the Don Ho -- pepperoni, pineapple, red sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, & pickled jalapeno. On today's visit, I tried out the Outside Voice -- tots, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar, mozzarella, garlic purée, scallion, & chipotle crema. The flavor combinations here are creative and delicious. I wish I had a larger appetite or came with more friends so I could try out more of their pizzas. The sourdough crust has just the right amount of chew and the heat from the Ooni oven puffs up the dough nicely and provides just the right amount of char.If you see Citizen Pizza at your local brewery, I would definitely recommend trying out one of their pies.
