Cheeseboard Pizza - Berkeley

In which I love you. Who would have thought that a pizza place that only served a kind of pizza a day (vegetarian about it) would work in some strange hours? Maybe it only works because it's Berkeley and all sorts of crazy things work in Berkeley. Now that I'm in the southern bay, I find myself longing for these days when I could just grab a cheeseboard for a piece of pizza this day. Your pizza is not your standard Little Caesars/Dominos/Pizza hat type pizza. It is a handcrafted kind of pizza, where it is only layered with possibly strange seeming ingredients that somehow work well together. Whenever I know someone who goes back to Berkeley, I ask her to bring me a half-baked pizza, so I can bake it in my oven and the wonderful cheese table.

I’m so sad that I discovered this place after graduating from Cal. And it’s hard to go back since they close so early! But it’s worth it to try it, even if it is vegetarian.

I love the Cheeseboard pizza. Unfortunately, I think there’s only been a handful times that I’ve successfully had it since the hours are odd and they run out pretty fast. The other thing to be wary of is how oily the pizza can get from all the cheese. You’ve been warned!

While i completely agree with all the reviewers above me i just have to say that if you don’t like cheese THAT much like me…then you will obviously not like cheeseboard’s pizza that much. It’s still miles better than most pizza around…but i had to drink a lot of water to get thru the cheese…

Best thin crust pizza ever – always fresh and perfectly crusty. They only do vegetarian toppings, and only one type each day until sold out. I left Berkeley 4 years ago, but I still dream of the pizzas here. Join the line, get yourself a couple of slices, find a shady spot on the grassy road median, and enjoy this little piece of heaven… Mmmm!
