Philomena

Philomena's is an absolute gem that delivers on every front! The pizza, top tier, hands down! I ordered the Mushroom Pizza. It has persillade sauce and green onions. I added the Italian sausage, so good. Some of the best pizza ever! Special shoutout to Rico and Kyle—these two are best in show! Their energy, kindness, and attention completely elevated the experience. It’s rare to encounter such genuine hospitality, and they made sure everything was spot-on from start to finish. Whether you're there for the pizza, craft beer or just the atmosphere, you'll leave with a full belly and an even fuller spirit. Perfect therapeutic escape after a taxing day. Highly recommend!

I normally don't leave bad reviews. So the fact that I'm bothering with this should go to stress how awful this pizza was. A simple margherita. Shouldn't be hard to get it right, no? No char on the underside. No gluten development, crust is completely deflated. Mozzarella is overcooked and rubbery. Tomato sauce was flavorless. My partner had their mushroom pizza and it was just as bad. Both pizzas went into the trash before the third slice. If this pizza wasn't cooked from frozen, I would be genuinely shocked. I guess that's why you're not allowed to modify the "house pizzas". As some other reviewers pointed out, this seems to be a consistent problem with their delivery as opposed to their dine in. Which wouldn't be anywhere near as offensive if it wasn't for how overpriced the Pizza is for the quality. Imagine paying $42 for what might as well be a $10 Digiorno.

Love Philomena! The mushroom pizza and Miss piggy are delicious! But if you love pesto… there are some yum options, too. I always keep a bottle of Phil ranch in the fridge and use it at home for all sorts of things. Okay… and then there is the meat lasagna. I swear a little old grandma made that sauce. With cheese, garlicky toasty bread. I usually want to eat the whole thing but try and put half in a box right away so I can savor it for lunch the next day. They have great ice creams and gelatos with rotating flavors. Tricia night every other Tuesday is a hit and so fun. I work as a teacher and we enjoy getting a group together every so often. It’s a great hang!

I’m a bit confused. At one point in time I felt like Philomena was easily the best pizza in the bay, and from the photos in others reviews it looks like things haven’t changed, hence my confusion when my order arrives and it is soggy, oily, bready, and the ingredients taste cheep. Do your toast deliveries come from a different kitchen? If so, the quality isn’t up to what I’ve come to expect. For now sadly, you’ve been taken off my 100% confidence endorsement food list.

We’ve lived in the neighborhood for over a year and I can’t believe we hadn’t visited here sooner! Before moving to Oakland, the wife, cats, and I lived in Chicago - where there is all sorts of good pizza, not just deep dish. Anyway, Philomena is up to par and has delicious pies, as well as beer and kombucha on tap. For this visit, we got the Miss Piggy with gluten free crust, which was great! We also had the kombucha (mint guava) which is delicious, and their wings which I would recommend. The chicken isn’t over fried or battered - just good chicken with good sauce. Looking forward to coming back!
