About

Bar: Full bar

You'll love Pizzaiolo if you're a pizza purist who values locally sourced ingredients. This Oakland spot has been turning out wood-fired pies since 2004, using only organic, seasonal produce from small farms. Chef-owner Charlie Hallowell, a Chez Panisse alum, changes the menu daily to reflect the freshest offerings.

The vibe is casual but intentional, with outdoor seating and a full bar. Reservations are accepted, so plan ahead. Like its neighbor Chez Panisse Restaurant and Café , Pizzaiolo focuses on the ritual of shared meals. Worth the wait.
