 I've always loved Lanesplitter, but it was only recently that I moved right behind their Berkeley location (the one on the intersection of San Pablo and University). I know my pizza pretty darn well; pizza is one of the staples of my vegetarian diet. About a week or so ago, my friend and I ordered one of their 15" pies (takeout) to satisfy some late-night munchies. It was the first time that I noticed that Lanesplitter uses two ovens, halfway through the cooking process they take the pie from one and put it into the other. Curious, I asked the guy who was cooking our pie what the second oven was for, not really expecting him to say anything. Boy, was I wrong. This guy launched into a whole explanation as to why they used two different ovens, the cooking process, etc. It was clear that he knew his stuff, and that he really loved working there. I was impressed. Now I make it a point to hit up Lanesplitters whenever I get the craving for a thin-slice pie. I really appreciate the fact that their cooks know their stuff, and obviously care about their craft. I highly recommend this pizza joint. - Capitol P , posted 12/01/05 |

I've been there a couple of times after playing concerts. I really like the Chicane pizza, when it's hot and fresh and the crust is crispy. I don't drink so I can't speak about the beer. For after a gig, it's great. - Unsubscribed , posted 10/24/05 |

I'm a thin crust type, reminiscent of NY/NJ's best and these guys give it a good try. The flavor of the crust is hot damn as well. Great place to go for a late night bite and brew. Many good suds to choose from and this location is right off I80 on San Pablo and University, make a right and it'll be on your left. - Greg , posted 08/16/05 |

Lanesplitter's is located on San Pablo, just off of University in Berkeley. If you haven't been there, you've GOT to go. They have awesome wood fired pizza and a great beer selection. Check out the Heartstopper if you are carnivorous, but they've got good veg stuff too. They even have "not-a-ricotta" for the vegans. Enjoy! - Star , posted 10/07/04 |

Lanesplitters has a few locations around the bay. They have a combo pizza with very diverse, high quality toppings. It's a shame, because the dough in the pizza is incredibly thin and soggy. Luckily, you'll soon forget about it with the woodchuck flannel-bar atmosphere inside. - C , posted 10/06/04 |
