Fist of Flour Doughjo — Restaurant in Oakland

I was ecstatic to see the "Vegan Deluxe" pizza on the menu and expected greatness after reading all the positive reviews here. I really wanted to like this pizza but it was one of the worst I've had: The ingredients all sound lovely on the menu but the pizza was super dry (please read all the other comments here that suggest adding more sauce, so it's not just me). It was so surprising to me that the pizza had absolutely no flavor. It tasted a little like garlic but none of the ingredients made it taste good. Not even the overload of arugula created something good More sauce, more herbs, more flavoring overall would really help. Maybe caramelized onions or a nicely roasted creamy eggplant could add a lot of flavor. The fresh basil on the side was a nice touch, but it wasn't able to rescue this mess of a pizza. I don't think I ever threw away pizza before. Today was...

We used Fist of Flour to cater our wedding with their mobile brick oven set-up. Wow, it was such a hit with all our guests and delicious! We love their brick and mortar restaurant too though:)

The pizzas, salads, and appetizers were all delicious. Service was extremely quick, no one was waiting around for food, and everyone raved about how good the pizza was. The staff was friendly, easy to work with, and made sure all our guests were taken care of, and were excellent about handling allergies and gluten free pizza. Before the wedding, they helped us design an amazing menu, provided lots of options, and were extremely responsive.

A lot of our guests, and us included, are really into pizza and always looking for a great new pizza spot, and this place was amazing. We were told all throughout the night how yummy...

So we ate it, because I spend almost $30 bucks for it. I just can’t figure out why their ratings are so high. It looks like good thin pizza but it’s not, the only thing with good flavor on the pizza was the sausage. The other items were I think some sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni (which I couldn’t taste), mushrooms and spinach. I did ask for well done, but not burnt. Which I assume effect the taste a lot. All in all Costco supreme pizza is way better tasting, bigger and it’s affordable. We won’t be going back to this place, try and fail. Only reason i picked this place was because Costco was closed and this place was close to where I was and the ratings were high. I assume there is much better “fancy” pizza out there though. (Missing the east coast today, where pretty much all pizza is...
