Reviews for Pollara Pizzeria in Berkeley, CA
I had to stop by every time I visit fourth street ? really the best pizza I?ve had at Berkeley! I was a little skeptical about... the focaccia-like crust at first, but it was so crispy and airy in the same time which creates a light and slightly chewytexture. All flavors come with a generous amount of toppings with fresh ingredients, and they still taste super good afterreheating with conventional ovens at home! Read more
I absolutely love their Roman style pizza (uses a focaccia bread base). Ingredients are high quality Italian toppings, not like... the greasy cheese and overly salty cured meats typical of American pizza. The Roman pizzas are at room temp and you can requestto reheat in their ovens and eat indoor or outdoor or you can take home and reheating instructions are provided in writing aswell as on a video on their website. Here are examples of their high quality Italian toppings: Italian sausage, pork meatballs,straciatella, diavola salame, Ndjua, prosciutto di parma, Sicilian anchovies, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino, grana padano,EVO, trumpet mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, leeks, arugula, etc... The staff is always courteous and friendly and the facilityis very clean. They are near a parking lot and they're across the street from Sur La Table. I buy their left-over end of daypizza through TOO GOOD TO GO for $5.99. For that price, I usually get two quarters (6"x4") of topped pizza or half a slab(8"x12") of Rossa, leek or mushroom plain pie with one quarter of a topped pizza. This is a bargain compared to their regularprices but the content is a surprise so you can't choose in advance. They will also provide cayenne pepper flakes and parmesancheese upon request. See pics of the 6+ orders I got through TOO GOOD TO GO. Read more
The pizza here took me back to Rome! Really quality crust, well balanced and classic combinations. Next time I want to try one... of the specials which I didn?t see until after I ordered ? chanterelle pie sounds amazing. Read more

Super legit roman style pizza. They do a 72 hr ferment! ???? the crust is amazing. I could eat it by itself which is the best... indicator for the perfect pie. And make their own mozz and ricotta. This place is a sleeper hit. Run and get some pizza fromthis place right now. Read more
Had the white pizza: Gorgonzola, spinach, onions, honey, chili. Topped it off with Prosciutto. Omg it was divine. The bread part... is fluffy with great chew consistency and crunch when you first bite into it. That honey really adds a unique and deliciousquality to the white pizza. I highly recommend this pizzeria!! Read more
The pizza was amazing. And the fritta! Oh man! I loved the atmosphere. We had a great time and had plenty leftover to take home.... And it was a great place to unwind after a crazy day at work! Read more
The pizza is so good and addictive, but only when we eat there right after they heat it up for you. When we ordered for take out... and heat up at home, it no longer taste the same. It doesn't taste good when they sell it cold and we bake at home. Read more
