"There's a “unique concept” behind this pizzeria set in the “legendary” Cheese Board Cooperative, where a “cultlike following” is willing to wait in “long lines” for “scrumptious” vegetarian pies." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Lines can be long at this cheap but fantastic pizza shop."
Rough Guide "Tiny storefront selling top-notch "designer pizza" at very reasonable prices: around $3 a slice,with a different topping every day. Great deli just down the road at no. 1504 too."
Gayot "Its chewy-crunchy sourdough crust topped with gourmet cheese, this pizza is an East Bay favorite." Full review
Fodor's "With a jazz combo playing in the storefront and a long line snaking down the block, Cheese Board Pizza taps into the pulse of the Gourmet Ghetto." Full review
Travel + Leisure "An offshoot of the Cheese Board Collective and located just two doors down, the Cheese Board Pizzeria makes only one kind of vegetarian pizza each day in a limited quantity." Full review
Not For Tourists "A multitude of cheeses, bread, and pizza delights. Gets happily packed."

Visiting foodies won't want to miss a meal here; be sure to make reservations a few weeks ahead of time.
Frommer's "Californian cuisine is so much a product of Alice Waters's genius that all other restaurants following in her wake should be dated A.A.W. (After Alice Waters)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Chefs David Tanis and Jean-Pierre Moulle... keep the standards high." Full review

"Following a fire, Alice Waters' "inspired" "gastronomic shrine" in Berkeley is again welcoming acolytes who come for "simple" yet "exquisite" "seasonal" Cal-Med prix fixes..." Full review
BlackBook "Cook Werner Herzog’s shoe circa 1980, drink some Bandol, break bread with Berkeley radicals, drink some more Bandol, build organic empire and they will come."
DK Eyewitness "The food still reflects her insistence that the quality of the produce is what matters above all. You will not find over-powering sauces here – just lots of flavor."
Rough Guide Star
"Chef Alice Waters is widely credited with first inventing California cuisine, with delights like Monterey Bay sardine toast with rocket and fennel, or Sonoma County duck..."
