Pizzeria Violetta

Seating is a little limited, but service is friendly and the pizza was tasty. I was being super low key on my birthday and I was in the mood for pizza (like any other day) so I wanted to try a new place.Lots of good looking combos, you can also swing by for a slice (which a lot of people were doing). There is a really good craft beer selection in tall cans in the fridge.A tall boy hazy ipa and pizza, that makes Ty C a happy camper.Stop by and give them a try.

Date: 3/1/2025 Time: 1:25 PM 58° CoolI am actually at The Pizzeria Violetta in the Prescott Market Hall in West Oakland. Currently they are a pop up kitchen; however, they will have a brick and mortar set up in the future.I am hungry and undecided as to what I want to order. After perusing the menu, I selected the jumbo chicken wings (1/2 dozen) and an Italian sub sandwich. Total cost: approximately. $34 (tax and tip included).The chicken wings were tossed with a hot honey butter sauce and served with a bleu cheese dipping sauce. I am not a bleu cheese fan. Nix it on that dipping sauce. The wings were freshly prepared, delicious, crispy, flavorful and moist. My brother and I enjoyed them. I could only eat half of the sandwich. It was loaded with an assortment of meats, lettuce, sliced tomato, cheese, etc. Freshly prepared, the sandwich was on point. Prescott Market Hall is not near my home. A future visit will be at the brick and mortar on Piedmont Avenue.The line was long for people ordering food, but the employees move things along smoothly. They certainly did an awesome job and with much pleasantness.

I've been here three times and absolutely loved it! I love that they have gluten-free pizzas and that we don't have to pay an extra $2-5 bucks for the privilege. And the pizza is good. I like their weekly flavors too. The salads are huge and there's enough to share. They are also quite popular, because every time I go, the salad counter is running a little low. I also see that in the app sometimes. I prefer to go inside and see what salads they have. I also like the compostable bowl and lid. Nice touch! I now know how to order gluten-free online so that will make ordering easy.When I go in there, the people behind the counter are very nice and accommodating. I've been lucky enough to find parking whenever I've gone within a few steps and I feel lucky. This is a spot that I try to go to every time I am in the area, which isn't often.They also have decent hours which I appreciate. Some of the places I like to go to in areas like this can close a little early for my taste. Cheeseboard, Arizmendi - put this place is open til 9 and that works for me.

Pizzeria Violetta is one of my sister and brother-in-law's favorite pizza places in Oakland. They introduced my wife and me to this place. My BIL likes to get pizza by the slice here. This is a locally-owned pizzeria.First, I have to mention that the pictures of the pizzas I saw online looked exactly like what we picked up in person. We got two whole pizzas. They were pretty big at 18 inches each. We had the following:* Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza ($35) - pickled onions, roasted peppers, garlic puree, mint-marinated feta cheese, mozzarella* Sweet Little Pig Pizza ($35) - brown sugar candied bacon, artisan pepperoni, fresh basil, cheese blend, organic housemade tomato sauce.My sister was quite excited about the Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza because it was a seasonal special and we were able to get one before the store sold out. Both pizzas were delicious. They were well made with high-quality ingredients, even topping distribution (with lots of toppings), and super-tasty crusts that were charred just right. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. And the pizzas were filling too. These were among the best pizzas my wife and I have had in the Bay Area. She liked the pizzas so much that she said she wished there was a Pizzeria Violetta back home in Atlanta.On the Italian Sausage & Eggplant Chutney Pizza, the pieces of sausage were savory and gratifying -- they really stood out. I loved the pizza's garlicky flavor. The Sweet Little Pig Pizza was like a classic pizza, but amped up in terms of flavor and satisfaction. It was really good. We also got some condiments to go like Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and chili oil.In addition to creative pizzas, Pizzeria Violetta sells Fiorello's artisan gelato from nearby San Rafael as well as a unique variety of beer, wine, and sake. This business replaced another pizza joint, Slicer, in June 2021. The restaurant is located near the north end of Piedmont Avenue. The space is small and clean with limited indoor seating only. There's a six-top in the center and about a dozen counter-height seats along the storefront and wall. I think most customers get takeout. The folks behind this place named it after their daughter, Violet.Check out Pizzeria Violetta on Instagram at @pizzeria.violetta. https://www.instagram.com/pizzeria.violetta

Decent little neighborhood pizza joint. Slice deal was 2 plus a beverage for $12 or whole specialty pies for $35/each. We got the little sweet porker which had pepperoni and candied bacon. We waited and ate it in the pizzeria yet it oddly arrived not very hot just like warm despite waiting 10-15 minutes for what was supposed to have been a hot and fresh pie ?! Unclear what the deal was it should have been piping hot since it was presumably fresh and out of the oven. I wonder if it wasn't. Thus my minus one star. It was good but I was somehow expecting more crunch to the crust and flavor to the sauce. It looked better than it ate. Still searching the local area for a top pie. Not sure this one was it for the price point.

I finally got to dropping by after having this on my visit list for a while. I started with a plain cheese slice, still looking for my West Coast sub for Joe's on Carmine St. in Manhattan. I noticed it was a bit thicker than a Joe's slice. It also had less tomato sauce, and the crust didn't crack on the fold. It was still tasty and satisfying. I ordered two more different slices. One was the Sweet Little Pig, a porky combo of pepperoni and bacon. This had more tomato sauce than the plain cheese, which gave it a sweet and tangy taste. The chunks of bacon were hearty and flavorful but over-powered the thin slices of pepperoni.My last slice was the Sausage and Roasted Garlic. I noticed immediately its intoxicating sausage aroma. This was balanced with a potent scent of roasted garlic puree without the pungence of the more common topping of minced garlic. It was fabulous, eliciting its entry in my brain bank as the best sausage slice on file.I do wish they offered glasses of wine or beer. It's either a full bottle or small cans of wine and assorted bottled beer. I tried the can of rose. It was actually from a vineyard in Napa Valley, its legacy origin and crisp body both a surprise and non-surprise.As for dining in, there was just one big table in the center of the shop. Wooden ledges were also fastened against the walls with stools underneath for quick bites of slice before heading home or back to work. The guy manning the register was very friendly and accommodating.Parking on a Sunday night after 7pm was actually plentiful.I may not have found Joe's West. But I did find a great little slice shop with its own delicious character.

I've been here a few times now and I think it's a really nice pit spot worth checking out. They offer pizza by the slice which is always a plus! I'd like to see more options but I've only tried the sausage pizza. I like that their sausage is not overly salty like most sausages, It's light and sweet which is so different. I do wish their slices were bigger. They also have tables and counter spaces you can eat at. I enjoy coming here and bringing my food to the tiki bar down the street.

Middle of the road pizza. Sauce was very plain, crust imo didn't have much flavor. Cheese had a lot of flavor.Definitely no threat to the king Pizza Ponte or the slice prince Mamas Boy.

Reasonably priced, delicious, fun pies, good wine selection, quick service? What more could one ask for. Definitely the best to go pizza in the neighborhood. I dined in but there's only bar seats and one big table. So not designed for a sit down dinner. The kale pesto pizza was my favorite but also liked the sweet little pig. Definitely coming back!

The pizza is ok, nothing special. Reasonable re-heated pizza. I had to remove the 4th star because of the impolite treatment I received from (evidently) the owner. My mistake: I tried to order slices of the pizza that was on the menu, but not currently in the glass display. The server claimed they were "out" of that pizza. It showed up while I was waiting (around 5 minutes) for my slices. When I complained, the pizza chef (and owner, I guess) accused me of not being "nice" (which I guess is what he says to all neuro-spicy people who walk in the door) and suggested that if I have any improvement suggestions, I should *START MY OWN PIZZA PLACE*. It must be nice to be so financially stable that they want more competition.
