It is a truly extraordinary experience to dine here, either upstairs or down. In the heart of the "gourmet ghetto" it is a Berkeley institution that singlehandedly started a food movement! Highly regarded around the world, they serve organic, sustainably grown and locally sourced food prepared to absolute perfection.

They make one kind of pizza a day, it's always vegetarian and always delicious. Made with fresh thin crust and seasonal, high quality, locally sourced ingredients. I like to grab a half-baked pie and bring it home to cook myself.
