Jupiter is one of my favorite places to go have some food and drinks at in Berkeley. It's very centrally located in downtown Berkeley, right next to BART and the Target.

The entrance is deceptively small, as it has an enormous patio area behind the building that also winds along the side and goes pretty far back, so there is ample seating room available! Especially in the warmer months, this is one of my favorite patios to go have some pizza and beer on. There's indoor seating as well with an upstairs and downstairs area, although the beautiful back patio is my favorite.

Service tends to be rather quick and friendly, and they use a mobile order system where you just order the food and drinks on your phone through a QR code on the table, and then they bring it out to you. Although the pizza can sometimes take a while to make and be brought out, I've found it to be quite efficient and they're very accommodating with any requests that you may make. Besides, at least it's always hot and fresh once it does come out!

For food, a lot of the pizzas seem to be space themed with their naming, being named after the moons of Jupiter. Get it? Cause the place is named Jupiter? I think it's cute! My favorite pizzas so far seem to be the Cassiopeia and the IO. I love white sauce pizzas, and these two are absolutely sublime! My partner tends to prefer the Cassiopeia one, which has chicken and bbq sauce on it, but I also absolutely love the IO, which also has chicken and then comes with pesto and olives, among other things. Both of them are very fresh and delicious. All of the ingredients complement the piping hot and perfectly baked pizza perfectly! I don't care for super thick crusts, so I like the way they make the pizzas here.

They also have plenty of IPAs and other beer and wine to choose from to accompany your pizza. I just wish you could order a pitcher to share with someone or a few people on the weekends! They'll only allow pitcher orders during the week.

Either way, I really enjoy coming here for the deliciously fresh pizza and drinks. Put that alongside friendly and efficient service and a beautiful outdoor patio area, and it's definitely one of my favorite spots in the area. I have to recommend!
