The Pizza Pantry

I was out doing some urban hiking yesterday and I ran across this place. The owner was taking a break out front and we had a nice chat. After learning of the high quality ingredients he uses from Italy, I ordered the "Peperoni", which is actually Hot Sopressata, later that evening through DoorDash. What a treat! I'm so glad to have discovered this place! This was one of the best pizzas ever! Thin, chewy, flavorful crust and the cheese and sopressata, plus a bit of garlic, were excellent. If you've been to Italy, you'll recognize this as proper Italian pizza. I feel very fortunate to live nearby.

Very good pizza here. Amazing pizza. Always fresh and hot. Two brothers own it. They are very nice and provide quick service. Try their take on the spicy pepperoni.

Pizza Pantry is a gem among the town's countless pizzerias. What sets Pizza Pantry apart is their daily offerings of new and inventive pizzas with authentic and unusual ingredients. Every day brings one fresh and exciting meat pizza as well as a vegetarian option, ensuring there's something new to try each time. If you prefer the classics then there's always a cheese pizza and their take on traditional pepperoni (with hot soppressata), which is a special kind of delicious in its own right. The staff are incredibly kind and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in and the owners' passion for their craft shines through in every delicious bite. There are a couple of chairs and tables with umbrellas for dining outside, but this is mostly a to-go operation these days. Luckily, they've usually got great tunes so you can rock out for a few minutes while your pizza finishes baking. For a truly standout pizza experience in Oakland, this place is easily one of the best!

This little hole in the wall is a little gem. I live here and have always walked by , today I decided to stop by and try it. I am so glad I did the owner was there and was supper great. He attended me quickly and told me about the pizza I grabbed a slice and walked back home & as soon a as I took a bite I was in love. The pizza was delicious!!!!! I will be going back !! They have different ingredients weekly so I am excited to try them all.

We recently attended an event where the Pizza Pantry had a pop-up, and I had the pesto with tomato slice, which was delicious! They had set up a really nice pizza warmer with a variety of pies, all very fresh. They even had gluten-free choices. Usually, pop-up food options at musical events are pretty bleh, but this was really good and reasonably priced, and the service was quick and friendly.

Excellent service. Large slice of pizza. They made it fresh for me right on the spot.

Just discovered this pizzeria that recently reopened! We got the Peperoni Hot Sopressata and it was such a nice experience! We could tell the ingredients were high quality and everything tasted perfect! I've never been to Italy but I imagine I could find a pizza like this there.

The pepperoni pizza was so delicious, straight out of a pizzeria in Italy. The owner is also one of the sweetest humans I've met in Oakland, he puts his heart into his pies and it definitely shows. No other spot in the Oakland area compares. If I could give this place 6 out of 5 stars I would!

They use delicious ingredients for thin crust fresh pizza dough. It's your gourmet pizza choice.

Great pizza! I love the cheese & dough they use as well as the seasonings. Unique & delicious pizza.
