Square Pie Guys

Ninh Le 6 months ago

I had been wanting to try Square Pie Guys for years. My wife and I had the day off together and we ended up in Emeryville for some errands. I decided that we should come and try Detroit style pizza. Street parking was easy to find right out front. We opted to sit outside because it was a nice day in Oakland, but it was like 1pm on a Monday so the streets and shop were pretty dead. The inside of the shop was also a little warm and stuffy from the pizza oven. After looking over the menu I decided to order the spicy pepperoni and my wife got the ultimate plant with dairy free cheese - see photos. I also got an order of the Szechuan chicken wings - not pictured - and my wife got the chilled bowled salad - also not pictured. First off the wings were dried fried style and has the crispiest exterior. The seasoning was a mix of salt, white pepper, and sugar; very reminiscent of Wingstop's fries with the sweet and salty combo. The cilantro lime crema dip that comes with the wings is also fantastic. Although I feel the crema is better with veggie sticks as it overpowers the wings when eaten together. By far the best wings I've ever had at a pizza place. Highly recommend. The salad was delicious as far as salad goes but my only criticism is that it had too much dressing. I feel like they could have dialed it back a little bit. But I did love the gigante beans in the salad; very rare you come across those. Lastly our pizzas. My spicy pepperoni was fantastic although I wished the bottom crust was a little more crispy and crunchy. The dough was nice and pillowly on top. The pepperoni was super crispy with a little bit of char. My wife loved her ultimate plant and they gave her a good mix of veggies. We both agreed that the pizza could have used a bit more sauce. For those of you who know, vegan cheese is very high in sodium. I felt like her pizza was way saltier than mine, and mine was pretty salty already. Just be aware that after two slices, you're gonna feel very bloated and dehydrated. Overall we both loved Square Pie Guys, and are excited to go to the Walnut Creek location later this year - it's closer to us. It may not be the best Detroit pizza, but it's definitely good Detroit pizza.

I’ve always been a deep dish type of gal. I can’t help myself, I like my pizza thick. Definitely liked my service tonight. The same guy that rang me up was the one who brought my food over, which was sweet. He was also the one to get a to-go box for my pizza and container for the leftover salad. The follow-through was peak. It was nice. Glad I don’t have to go far for good pizza. I’ve already converted a few of my coworkers to Square Pie guys & gals.

Well...I was picking up a delivery and the atmosphere was nice...the servers were attentive and wondered how the pizzas tasted. As I waited...and waited..they kept assuring me the order would be ready soon. After more time I received the order but the manager gave me a personal pizza. It was delicious, the sauce and ratio of cheese and pepperoni was on point! Check them out! I pick up for delivery often and now I know why! Mmmm mmmm mmmm...yummy! 🥰

This was our first time here. Great pizza and great cheesy bread. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back before we leave for home.

Didn’t get to try the pizza but snacks and beer I had were great. Didn’t interest with staff too much but overall a good impression on service. Love all the natural lighting and color. Seems welcoming and fun.
