Best Neapolitan Pizza in Oakland
The 5 best Neapolitan pizzerias in Oakland, California, ranked by editorial score. The original: a soft, blistered crust from a blazing-hot wood oven, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a center that demands a fork or a fold. Neo-Neapolitan pies keep the spirit with a slightly sturdier, more structured crust.
