A unique vegan deli offering a delicious array of flavorful sandwiches and treats, perfect for both plant-based eaters and meat lovers alike!
Attempting to eat mostly vegan I made an effort to stop by and got a gluten free BLT for ~$11.50. It had excellent taste and the vegan bacon was very satisfying as well. The take-home Caesar salad and vegan cheddar cheese was also delicious and could be an easy substitute for anyone attempting to go more plant-based. 👍🏼
Bobby G's Pizzeria

2074 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704, USA
Chill spot for enjoying great pizza with friends, featuring a cozy outdoor seating area perfect for a casual hangout.
I was on the hunt for a solid gluten free veggie pizza and Bobby G’s did the trick. Overall, food and ambiance is nothing extraordinary but reasonably priced, good tasting, and friendly enough place. We sat outside under the heaters, though if your going to a pizzeria to watch sports, inside will be preferred. And if you’re looking to go out with the family I wouldn’t recommend this spot, but it fits the bill for a pie with friends.

Very tantalizing. The service is efficient and friendly, the crab benedict was amazing as was the green tea latte. My sister was able to order gluten free toast, we were both happy. It is a bit pricey but it was worth it to us. The ambiance is lit as well. Go enjoy! Brunch is bustling, we added our name to the list but only waited 10 minutes.
