Best cheese pizzas?

Where can I go, near the Louise Davis theater (or a short rideshare away), on a Monday? For next week.

I would have done Cotogna, since I hadn’t been there since the mid 2010s, but they’re closed on Mondays.

I did do Square Pie Guys again last week, after I realized Cotogna was closed on Monday. But I had to leave 1/2 of the pizza behind, because I can’t take outside food into a venue.

Doppio Zero is a couple blocks away from Davies

Che Fico a little further away

A Mano or Absinthe

Absinthe has pizza?

One more question. I went to Emilia’s in Berkeley several times in the 2010s. That was when you ordered by phone.

Also, the owner would let me or us sit at one of the small tables there, and eat there.

When I went in 2023, there was an online ordering system now.

And, no eating inside.

Where can I go within 3 minutes walk or less to sit down and eat?

Are there benches or a table somewhere? I think one time in the 2010s, we ate somewhere near the Berkeley Bowl Marketplace. I don’t know remember exactly where, or if it’s still a viable option.

My goal is to find a place quickly and sit down and eat, while it’s still hot.

Good one on Doppio Zero. I’ve only been there once, in September 2022. This will be a good chance to go back.

Looks like I had either the Margherita or Bufilina then.

Probably go with the Formaggi this time.

Didn’t understand from the OG post that it has to be pizza

What do you like getting at Absinthe? It’s good to know about places in general.

The salad Lyonnaise with duck confit, steak tartare, duck breast and sole meuniere were good last time we went there

Thanks. If you’ve also been there, how would you compare it to Brenda’s French Soul Food? Asking because I’ve been to Brenda’s 2x. Have not been to Absinthe yet.

There’s a picnic area at Grove Park.

Haven’t been to Brenda’s yet

Brenda’s is New Orleans. Absinthe is Paris.
