Rotten City Pizza

Rotten City Pizza is my go-to when I want pizza but with a more elevated twist. Whether I grab a slice or a full pie, it always hits the spot. I've tried quite a few flavors, and not a single one has disappointed. The pizza is so good that it's hard for me to stop eating, even when I'm full!I've seen people pick up a pie and take it across the street to the bar--a perfect setup for a chill night with friends. The quality and taste are consistently top-notch, and while the pizza is on the pricier side ($45-$50 per pizza), it's worth every penny for the flavor and experience.That said, the space itself isn't much for dining in. There isn't a lot of room, and it doesn't have the ambiance for a long sit-down meal or catching up with friends. It's more of a grab-and-go or quick-eat kind of place. We usually bring it home to enjoy.If you're looking for a splurge-worthy pizza, I highly recommend the meatball pizza--it's my favorite! Sure, the price is steep, but when you're craving a really great pizza, Rotten City delivers.

Still great! Decided on splitting a meatball sub with my partner. We ordered it, a beer, and they gave us a day-old brownie. The meatball sub was hot and ready after about five minutes. It was so delicious eating it there and was crispier (and more attractive) than when we had taken it to go. Even tho we split it, we left feeling full and satisfied. Two huge, juicy meatballs along with plenty of sauce and cheese. The bread holds everything nicely.Everything we ordered was as expected and delicious. We will return again!

Great pie with delicious crispy yummy crust. The spicy wings were so good as well. I got a salad too...but didn't eat it. Friendly staff

We like Rotten City Pizza, it's always fresh and hot and crispy and the ingredients are in league with other local, best-in-class, by-the-slice places. It's a bit more expensive though, so we only eat here when it's convenient, we wouldn't necessarily make a special trip if Gioia or Sliver or Arinell's was closer. Really good pizza!

They used to sell pizza by the slice, a rare treat for me since gluten is on my avoid list. Now they only sell a full quarter of a large pizza, for $16-$17, way over a quarter of a pizza price. And a pricey lunch for one person. Those pizzas are pre-made and with a only a few limited choices. All they do is heat it up for you. No good reason to not sell by the slice. What they gain by more $$ per sale is canceled by the customers they lose.

Start Spreading The News! I have been searching for a New York style pizza forever now. Ever since our family trip in NY I have been looking for a similar style pizza. The NY pizzas are so good. I think I finally found it in Rotten City Pizza. So start spreading the news, NY pizza is now in Emeryville! It was my first visit last Saturday. I ordered a slice of each pepperoni and Neopolitan. I thought I was going to get a big slice but instead a slice order is served in 2 slices per order. The slices are thin but when they warm it prior to serving, the crust is crunchy but not tough.The pepperoni and Neopolitan were both tasty and greasy. But, it's pizza, it meant to be enjoyed and not worry about healthy eating. My rule is eat and drink whatever but in moderation. Anyway, Rotten City pizza has an outdoor beer garden seatings. But it needs a regular TLC to make it more appealing to enjoy the outdoor. Nevertheless, Rotten City Pizza really did it their way, like in NY! I will definitely return again and bring my co-workers because their pizzas are really good! I will definitely spread the news!

This is our go-to local pizza spot. When we moved to West Oakland we tried many establishments and once we had Rotten City Pizza we did not need to look further. In addition to the pizza being delish the folks that work there are a group of cool, fun people having a good time.Bonus point- I do not drink soda on a regular basis and when I do I want Dr. Pepper and they are one of the few places I have found that carries it.Thanks Rotten City Pizza for always fulfilling our pizza craving!

This pizza is hands-down, some of the best in the Bay Area, especially if you like New York style but really, for anyone who likes pizza, Period.We had a large family event and "catered" from here, in that we ordered 12 pizzas and a TON of salads and all of our guests raved about how delicious everything was (...including several New Yorkers!) ;)My biggest complaint is just that we didn't discover this place until too recently despite the fact that they are located not too far from us. Thanks Mike and all the others that helped us. Oh, P.S. We were originally going to have our event at their location, in their courtyard. It has so much promise, but because of the weather and the lack of heaters, we decided not to take our chances...but I'd be willing to bet they would make a killing if they spruced up that courtyard just a little bit more, particularly with heaters, and they have a booming outdoor dining business! For now, great place to grab and go ( or eat there when the weather is warmer). Thanks again!

It's a tough sell. $13 for a "fat slice" that's paper thin and a bit smaller than 2 slices. I'm originally from nyc so there was no way in hell I was going to pay for that.Prices aside, your better off going to another pizza shop, Mac Arthur's, Graffiti pizza, Square pie guys, so much better options

Not such a great experience...The best part about this place are the people. When I arrived, the guy working the counter was very patiently walking someone through what was on the menu, how the service worked, where he was allowed to take his beer, etc.Really, really friendly and patient.But... the pizza. The pizza was not what I had hoped it would be. It had so..much...grease....I ordered a quarter-pie of the Bianco Verde and a quarter-pie of the Funghi. I picked up a slice of the Bianco Verde. It flopped over and smeared grease all over my hand. So I sort of flapped it upward to try to get it into my mouth. Immediately it fell apart. Split across the middle. Now I had a slab of pizza way too big to chew in my mouth and a crust flopped down on my hand.Aside from the mess, I couldn't quite understand the flavor... It was sort of like chalky garlic? Also tried the Funghi and the same thing happened. Fell apart and I was left with a vague mushroom flavor and grease everywhere.I just couldn't finish it. $30 for 4 slices of pizza I couldn't finish.On top of all of that, I got scammed by the online ordering system on their website.In addition to the nebulous "Taxes & Fees" line, which seems to include a 6%+ fee on top of the taxes, my tip was increased by the system! An additional $2 was added on top of what I actually authorized in the order.Several other people say they had similar experiences, both grease and high website charges. I really hope they figure out what's going wrong here. I wish I could like this place and would be glad to come back and try again at some point.
