- Julia C.Los Gatos, CA28153Apr 13, 2024
I had to plan lunch for a high school robotics event for 50 students. As you can imagine with 50 students, there were many dietary restrictions to plan for. Pizza Twist was a great option for our team as there are many different varieties and many different ways to order pizza - regular, vegetarian, vegan, halal, cheeseless, thin crust, thick crust, gluten-free just to name a few.
I worked with both Mani and Nat to get information on pizza options. They were both so very helpful, patient and had the best customer service when I was trying to figure out all the different types of pizzas to order with all the different dietary restrictions.
I really appreciated that Mani called me earlier on the day of the event to confirm they would deliver the pizza. It took a lot of stress off my mind knowing they would get the pizza delivered on time.
The students and mentors all said the pizza was very delicious, many saying they loved all the different variety of pizzas. What I especially loved were the pizzas for the students who had dietary restrictions. They normally have to bring their own lunches to these events, but they felt included because they were able to enjoy pizza along with everyone else.
Thank you Mani and Nat, for all your help with our event and for making some really great tasting pizza!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Good times again. This was my third visit.
My second, I missed Nate and his wife, Nidhi, since it was their day off. His brother was there in his stead that second time. He was good servicing his customers, but not the Warriors fan like his bro. That second time I had the non-traditional pizza of Spicy Beef Lamb Kabob. I opted for the original hand tossed crust in the medium size. It's usually big enough to take some home, but it was delicious enough that I ate all of it instead. First time having lamb on a pizza, and it was a stellar first experience.
But this third visit, Nate and Nidhi were there. I ordered the Trio Pizza Special in the pan crust (Deep Dish) style. It was a special coupon of $21.99 for a medium. FYI, the coupon isn't easy to find. You need to click on the generic menu tab, then look for the coupons rectangle. Hopefully, it will still be there if you look for it. The Trio is pepperoni, sausage and bacon. It was an scrumptious combo. The pepperoni and sausage did their expected trick, but the smokie, lightly crunchy bacon took it to another level. Also, the crust was pillowy soft and delightful to chew.
And both Nate and Nidhi came out again to watch the Warriors game with me. As the NBA season is winding down and even though the team isn't what they used to be, watching with Nate, Nidhi and a freshly baked Pizza Twist pie still infused my night with championship vibes.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

we are glad you had a good time on your visit! The Trio Pizza Special sounds yummy. It's cool that you watched the Warriors game with us while enjoying your pizza. It sounds like a winning night! Thank you Nate
Dec 19, 2023Previous reviewThis was a great find. I had been planning to drop by the Pizza Twist in El Sobrante. But before I left, I discovered that there was one that opened up in Berkeley, so I decided to check it out instead since it was closer. As per my hard-earned sports bar badge, I was looking for a place to have pizza and watch the Warriors game. Pizza Twist Berkeley turned out to be super. For one, there were four big screens available for viewing.
And there, there was the pizza. I hadn't had a pan pizza in a while. One bite and I realized how much I'd been missing. It was unbelievably good! I had a small Twistys Favorite--a combo of pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, sausage, and chicken. (Check their page for an $11.99 coupon as of this writing.) First kudos for being the first signature combo I've ever seen to offer chicken! It was a great way to partially absolve my red meat guilt. Also, everything tasted fresh with an uncompromised quality.
The biggest surprise, though, was the taste of umami. I was stunned. I mean this was clearly a classic style pizza and not an Asian fusion. Yet there it was, a tantalizing umami. I'm still perplexed. I'm going to go back just to see if it happens again. The crust was also wonderfully baked to a light crunch. I wanted to save half of it for a future meal, but couldn't resist and only took home 1/3. And reheating it a couple of days later, It was even better with even more hints of umami.
The only knock, which wasn't star-deduct worthy, was the longer wait time of about 20-25 minute for just about every order I saw for everyone. (Probably because of the thicker pan size cook time.) But the cliché, worth the wait still rings real. To alleviate time on the clock, there's a collection of board games for both kids and adults, which all ages of customers enjoyed while I was there. There's also a real fun and energetic vibe in general, enhanced by the colors and etchings of the wall art.
And the owner, Nate, who was a Dubs fan as well, actually sat with me at my table during the moments, when he wasn't taking and preparing orders, to watch the game with me! Before the end of the night, his wife, Nidhi, joined us as well. And even though the Warriors lost in brutal fashion, the taste of the amazing pizza and company of Nate and Nidhi overshadowed the bitterness of the loss.
So, yeah, I'm definitely headed back. And, hopefully, the Warriors will win. But Dubs obsession aside, I'm also going try one of their non-traditional pies. I wanna see if...Did I mention the umami? - Pam S.El Cerrito, CA2544Jan 18, 2024
Expensive, tiny tiny pizza and no flavor whatsoever. I was shocked when I opened the boxes to see what was inside.
I'd ordered a gluten free pizza and a cheese pizza. Assumed it would be enough to feed 2 kids and 2 adults. I walked to my car, looked inside and thought, "There's no way this will feed the people I'm bringing this to at their home. I had to go to Andronico's and pick up a frozen cheese pizza to make the dinner presentable. And the cost for the two pizzas? $50 + tax.
I have no idea how this place expects to survive or who the hell wrote the positive reviews. I find it hard to believe they're ligit????Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Pleasantly surprised by the pizza. I'm not a big pizza eater. Kids of course love it. Our usual go to's locally are Little Star and iSlice. Pizza Twist definitely fulfills a style a pizza not covered by those two places and fulfilled my pizza craving for the week. Not too thick or doughy and not too thin or crackery. A balance of sauce and cheese and taste. We had sausage, 1/2 cheese and 1/2 pepperoni. and chicken tikka masala. All tasted yummy. Husband said chicken tikka didn't really taste like chicken tikka but tasted good anyways. And the best, we had the chocolate chip cookie pie dessert to top it all off! Which by the way, I've since gone back and got the desserts only - chocolate chip cookie and brownie pie. It's so good. Ordered online for pick up and all went smoothly. Inside is clean and has a welcoming vibe too it. We'll be back on our next craving!

Big selection of different pizza options. We tried the Bombay garlic and chicken tikka masala pizzas and wings. Tasty with fresh toppings and good crust. Nice people and excellent service. Love that the restroom is super clean and even has a cost / purse rack.

Got a modified Chicken Tikka Masala pizza from here and the chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. I was impressed with the freshness of all the ingredients, as well as all their special offerings, such as gluten free, vegetarian, cauliflower crust etc.
The owner is super friendly and accommodating. I told him that I had picky kids and he modified the spice level as well as the vegetables included.
The restaurant is clean and welcoming and they have an assortment of board games as well as two large TVs for antsy kids. Will definitely be going back there with the fam one day soon.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello Rohit,
Thanks for the awesome review! I'm glad you enjoyed the Palak Paneer and veggie pizzas. Looking forward to serving you again soon! Thank you Mani Sondhi - Nov 27, 2023
Finally a pizza place that serves a twist of indian style pizza in Berkeley! If you don't feel like choosing one type of pizza you can half it meaning 1/2 the pizza could be a tikka masala and the other half could be butter chicken!
The owners here really try to keep the place clean and are always available to help you if needed. The ingredients on the pizza are fresh and I love that when the pizza comes out, it looks vibrant with color!
Highly recommend trying if you are ever in the area!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
