Pizza here is how people dream of pizza ....humongous slices oozing with cheese and super hot. One slice is a meal !A staple Cal spot for students and visitors alike.Even though the artichoke pizza is almost like soup on a slice ..its still yummalicious ?. The Margherita pizza is always a delight. The pepperoni might be my least favorite here. But we always enjoyed AB on our visits to our son at Cal.

Open till late, great location near campus, near other great restaurants. Friendly staff, friendly location. You see the pizza up front before you order so you know what you're getting, they heat it up or prepare a fresh one once they're out or you ask. Condiments on the side, they used to serve free water, the counters inside are not for eating, because of the pandemic. But there are tables fixed around a tree at elbow level and there's an outlet there too, plenty of room for 3 groups or a buncha strangers. Great pizza, fresh ingredients, good price, short wait; bout 2-3 min.

Food: The main slice is the Artichoke pizza. Very original, huge slice, thick crust, smothered in Alfredo sauce and cheese. Its probably the best pizza concoction I've had.Location: Right across the street from campus.Ambiance: No dine in but plenty of outdoor countertops right on the sidewalk. Its a grab and eat-while-you-stand type of place.Price: $5-$6 per slice, and as I mentioned, they're huge.

Really nice employee's. Had a slice of Artichoke Pizza for the first time. It was yummy! Will come back, for sure.

The Artichoke pizza is a very special taste. Each slice is big than I thought.

Trust me on this. Go with a friend. Split a slice of the Artichoke, their signature creamy, incredible pizza, and then go next door for an order of soup dumplings. It's the perfect bang-bang spot.

The best pizza in town. love it! Would have it everyday if I could!

Absolutely incredible artichoke pizza. I've visited the outlet in New York as well and this one is the best by far. Would definitely recommend 2 people share a slice, as having an entire one can get heavy quick.

Good food but kinda pricey? Or is that just everything since the pandemic started?

Such great pizza! The artichoke slice is creamy and delicious, unique as well. Great late night snack if you’re in the area. Slices are huge for a great price.
