Had a great time at The Cheese Board in Berkeley! They offer just one type of pizza each day, so no confusion — and it actually makes the line move pretty fast even though it was long when we went. We tried the pizza with organic...Read More

I think this may be one of my favorite pizza spots (and I’m from NYC - if that means anything)! I do tend to love more vegetarian options and the fact is that this place really hit the spot. Their concept is interesting; they only...Read More

It was high summer in Berkeley. The air was dry, bright, and buzzing—people out walking. I was alone, hungry, and not entirely in a hurry. I walked past the CheeseBoard Collective because that’s what you do—walk past—and then I realized it was actual open. The man...Read More

Cheeseboard Pizzeria in Berkeley is an absolute legend — and now, after 20 years I finally get why. It’s not just pizza. It’s a full-on sensory celebration. You walk up, music playing, line buzzing, and there’s only one pizza option that day. No decisions. Just...Read More

Delicious pizza and a spicy green sauce that is still making my mouth water. Long line that normally goes pretty fast but worth the wait. I waited about 20 minutes chatting with the locals. I can’t wait to go back.

Yesterday, we visited Cheeseboard so that my nephew could experience their pizza. Although we reside in the South Bay, we were in the area for an event. The line moved swiftly and efficiently, and the cashier provided excellent and friendly service with a smile. Opting...Read More

Good pizzaria in Berkeley with tasty pizza and good music and vibe! There’s always a line but the line moves quick. The creamy mushroom vegetarian pizza was surprisingly good and you should also try the green sauce. We visited the bakery next-door after our lunch...Read More

Delicious! Juicy and full of flavour especially the cheese. It’s more of a thin crust type of pizza, but not to the extent that it’s crispy (i.e. it’s still chewy but there isn’t so much dough that it would give you a post-meal food coma)....Read More

Super yummy pizza. They have a daily rotating flavor and it’s always vegetarian. Would recommend getting the green sauce to dip with your pizza. Also, the live music was cute and attracted quite the line, but it move fast.
