Red Tomato Pizza House, Berkeley

9/3/13

We ended up in Berkeley on Labor Day, with a craving for pizza. We called a few of the places I've been wanting to try, but they were all closed. We decided to walk around Goodwill before going home, and as we headed back to our car, I saw the "open" sign for Red Tomato. Pizza!  Kudos for being open on a holiday!

I checked out the pizzas on other tables as we walked in and they looked great. Thin, crispy crusts, fresh toppings, lots of smiles. Unfortunately, we learned they don't sell pizza-by-the-slice so we walked out pouting slightly. We reached the car before turning around, realizing that this wasn't a good day to be picky.

We ordered a medium to share: half veggie for me and half pepperoni for Mr. Amy S. It arrived not long after, and unfortunately was on a thick crust. I guess we should have asked about crust, rather than just assuming they only had one, thin type. It wasn't bad though. The black olives and mushrooms on my half were sliced thick and were plentiful. ($16 for pizza and soda)

I also ordered a garden salad (just under $4) - it had some awesome cherry tomatoes in it, but unfortunately the dressing was the type in a packet, rather than fresh made, and they had no oil/vinegar available.

Overall, it was pretty good and satisfied our pizza craving, even though it wasn't exactly what we were hoping for.
