GIOIA Pizzeria

No in side dining any more and no discounts when they close at 8pm which is so strange..4.25 per slice plus tax is a great deal..but they throw the left over pizzas away at the end of the night instead of giving a deal..that's so messed up.. guess I'll be be dumpster diving around 10 pm

Amazing pizza, but the world’s rudest IDGAF customer service you’ll ever encounter. I have been eating Gioia’s pizza since 2007. Their pizza is consistently good, but it boggles my mind that the counter staff has ALWAYS been the nastiest, rudest person you’ll ever encounter. Why?? We’re literally tipping you well and giving you business. The service is almost comically horrendous….don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself!

GIOIA (/joy-a/) Italian noun means a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. My husband really loves this place. He loves to try pizzas whenever he can.. Kids and I got to try them today! I really liked them. Probably one of the best pizza I have ever had. They have 2 locations. (Berkeley and San Francisco). The crust is perfectly sublime, the flavors of the toppings are incredible. The delicious thin crust of most of the pizza is complimented by the chewiness of the edge. Yum!!! Anchovi pizza is a little too salty but still very tasty. I had Sicilian Sausage with pickle jalapeños. Soooo good! My kids said this is the best pepperoni pizza! The website said "We don't eat pizzas with a fork & knife. New Yorkers consider that uncivilized". 😆 (Asians served pizza with fork and knives for real in many countries. I am not kidding!)

Gioa’s in the best pizza in the East Bay as far as I’m concerned. I don’t really mess with other pizza places anymore after discovering this spot. Not a sit down restaurant, grab and go.
