A16 in Oakland is a delightful Italian gem! 🍕 We swung by for a birthday celebration and were impressed by the inviting ambiance. The fried olives and calamari were tasty, especially with those crispy beans stealing the show.
The highlight? The pizza crust! Chewy but tangy, it perfectly complemented the toppings. We tried the Margherita and the Vesuivo - both divine, especially with a drizzle of house-made chili oil.
Service was friendly, though a bit slow, and the tables are packed closely. Definitely make a reservation, this spot gets busy! Can’t wait to come back for dessert next time! 🎉
