Lived in Oakland for 5 years and this is by far my favorite take out. Calzones, hoagies, pizza it's all quacktastic. I want to be in college again just so I could eat there. Love to order it hung over with a two liter of sprite. Grant hill drinks sprite too

I ordered a large pizza, a veggie wedgie, an eggplant parmesan sandwich, and a Greek salad for delivery. Delivery was about 10 minutes behind the time-frame I was given online. The delivery driver also called me as he was standing in front of my house. I could see him dialing his phone on the sidewalk. That was weird. Also, the tab was near $45 - not cheap. I was very disappointed in the food. The salad was packaged separately from the hot stuff - always a plus. The salad was the best thing I ordered, so I was very glad that it wasn't warm. There was nothing special about the salad, the tomatoes were boring, but it's not exactly tomato season. The lettuce was fresh and that's the most important thing. The Greek dressing that came with my Greek salad came in pouches, so not home-made, but it was good anyway. Eggplant parmesan is on their menu with their Classic Subs and without a description. The chicken parmesan sandwich says it comes topped with cheese. Stands to reason the eggplant would too. Also, I've ordered a lot of eggplant parmesan sandwiches in my time & I have never been served such a disappointment. The eggplant was breaded and fried, but there was no indication that this eggplant had ever been crispy. The marinara sauce was unexciting and the whole thing was just soft and blah. The wedgie was sad. Pathetic really. The dressing that came with this item was also in plastic pouches. Sadly, these pouches contained much more boring dressing. These poor little pouches never had a chance of saving this wedgie. The veggies were in short supply and the cheese was sparse and tasteless. I thought I'd review the pizza last because there seemed to be a generally positive vibe regarding the pizza here. I didn't want to lose my audience right out of the gate. The pizza didn't even make it to mediocre by any standard of mine. I'm a bit of a pizza snob, maybe it's just me. The crust was chewy and yummy. That's the only nice thing there is to say about the pizza that arrived at my door. Missing were the mountains of cheese that other reviewers mentioned (sometimes unhappily). Of course, the cheese wasn't any good, so mountains of it might have been just as icky. The fresh mushrooms were acceptable - a little thick to be a great pizza topping. They were much more generous with the green olives, too generous. Nothing special at all. Absolutely not worth $13. The food here is soft and boring. I won't bother trying them again.

Ordered from Say Cheese for the first time this past weekend. We got two salads (the Mandarin and the Steak) and some cheese sticks. The cheese sticks tasted like the frozen variety so not horrible, but it was sort of like, "Really?" My boyfriend didn't like the chicken in his Mandarin salad, said he would've preferred it grilled, but he liked the dressing and the rest of the toppings. My steak salad was fab. I'd get it again. I think the food is mediocre to good, but what gets them 4 stars is the service. We got our food delivered and it was there in a totally reasonable time. You know how with delivery guys/gals it seems to either be stoner college kids or some rude asshat? Total opposite with Say Cheese. The delivery guy was very nice, polite, and friendly. I mean, really - this shouldn't even be a thing I complain about, but I've had so many bad experiences with delivery people that I dread going to the door to meet them. So props to you Say Cheese.

The pizza is excellent, but the few times we have ordered delivery from here the food has arrived 30-40 minutes later than the latest delivery time estimate. Weather and road conditions were not an issue. We will not be ordering from here again.

I've spent the past year trying a new pizza place once a week or so...I've arrived at Say Cheese as the best pizza in Oakland...not greasy, fast delivery, good customer service, not much more you can ask for.

Good pizza but even better breadsticks. Also, they included a packet of pepper flakes which was a nice touch. Definitely glad I branched out and tried this place.

I ordered a chicken salad from this place last night and it was below average. The chicken was warm, but definitely not hot. And the french fries on the salad were cold. While the portion size was quite large, it was a very poor product. The only reason I ordered from this place is because it is pretty cheap (even cheaper with a coupon code on Grubhub), but it definitely wasn't worth the $7 I paid.

I use to live in Pittsburgh PA. Hands down their pan pizza is prob the best pan pizza I have ever had. I miss this place. I am glad they are still kick'n it in my old hood. I have turned so many people on to this place. They also have yummy salads.

Their Buffalo Chicken Pizza inspired me to finish med school. No, this story doesn't make sense. Especially if you're sober right now. I will reiterate the fact that this place is hands down THE BEST PIZZA IN OAKLAND. You won't be disappointed.

On a whim, we ordered from Say Cheese Pizza during the Penguins playoff game. Did not have high hopes because we have never had good luck with pizza delivery in Southside. Let me just say.... It took less than 30 minutes to get our food and everything was delicious. From the cheese pizza to the pepperoni roll and the Italian sub, everything was excellent. In addition, we ordered the tiramisu and the carrot cake. Again, I did not have high hopes for the dessert, but . . . OMG! Both desserts were moist, fresh and delicious. Not what i ever expected. Way to knock it out of the park!

I've had pizza from Say Cheese! quite a few times and was always floored by how tasty it was. Believe me, I've had a fairly extensive sampling of different pizzas from all over Pittsburgh as a college student at CMU, and Say Cheese! was hands down the best pizza I had in my four years there, if not in my whole life (but then again I've never had pizza in NYC or Chicago, so... EXCUSE MOI if you happen to be a pizza snob). Every part of their pizzas taste fresh and delicious, and I especially love the crust of their traditional pizzas -- thick and doughy. They have pan and Sicilian pizzas, calzones, and lots of other offerings on their menu, too. Their prices are also very budget friendly, and they have free delivery! And I just looked at their website and it looks like they now accept PlaidCash (CMU dining bucks). WHAT. I wish I were back in college. Okay, not really. But I'd definitely stop by Say Cheese! if I'm ever in da Burgh again. Nom nom.

While living in Pittsburgh for a year, I would order from Say Cheese Pizza about twice a month, and frequent it often when I am back in town. I still havent tried the Pizza, but I would recommend the Calzone as it is one of the best I have ever had. I get it with Sausage, Pepperoni, Pineapple, and Ham. Every time they laugh, but every time it has come out tasting great. I order these often, and have to say out of all cities I have been to, they have had the best one. If your looking to try a new pizza place, you have to give these guys a try.

ordered food, was quoted 40 min and it came in about 35-40 min. fries were good and cheese sauce was pretty tasty, i ordered that and a hoagie. both were really delicious, i dont have anything negative to say about this place,if i wanted to be picky id say the 40 min delivery based off of the fact i live less then a mile away is sorta questionable, but regardless i was happy and enjoyed my food. id def go there for a late night bite

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large.

Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.
