District Oakland

“The Saturday brunch pizza with a sunny-side egg on top was inspired. Runny yolk mixing with the pizza sauce and melted cheese created this amazing savory breakfast experience. Plus a solid Bellini to go with it.”

“The brunch cocktail options were limited. jsut a mimosa and a Bellini. No espresso martini, no bloody Mary, no creative brunch cocktails. For Oakland's brunch scene, the drinks need to match the food creativity lol”

“The anchovy and garlic pizza was bold and briny, salty anchovies melting into the garlic oil on that charred crust. Not for everyone but for anchovy lovers it was perfect. The seafood flavors were clean and pronounced.”

“No dedicated seafood entrée beyond the anchovy pizza. For a full-service restaurant in Jack London Square, a grilled fish or seafood pasta would round out the menu for seafood lovers who want more than pizza”

“District's wood-fired pizza had a beautifully blistered crust with that perfect Neapolitan char. The margherita was simple perfection, San Marzano sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil. Nonna would nod approvingly at this one.”

“not even kidding the pasta options were uninspired compared to the excellent pizza A basic penne in cream sauce doesn't deserve to be on the same menu as these beautiful pies. Focus on what you're great at or elevate the pasta.”
