Philomena

Philomena is a jewel in the crown of local neighborhood restaurants. Their ambiance is awesome (comfortable high-top chairs) and they have an impressive amount of TVs to watch any game with, although I’ve only come in for football. Technically, I’m gluten-free and so finding accommodating pizza isn’t too hard in a major metropolitan city, but finding *good* pizza that accommodates my dietary restrictions *is* the challenge, and Philomena delivers on both. Bonus points for the friendly staff and the cool murals that surround the building. Keep Oakland weird!

Safe for food allergies! I have celiac, and this place hasn’t made me sick ever! Fresh ingredients all the time! Always delicious!

We’ve lived in the neighborhood for over a year and I can’t believe we hadn’t visited here sooner! Before moving to Oakland, the wife, cats, and I lived in Chicago - where there is all sorts of good pizza, not just deep dish. Anyway, Philomena is up to par and has delicious pies, as well as beer and kombucha on tap. For this visit, we got the Miss Piggy with gluten free crust, which was great! We also had the kombucha (mint guava) which is delicious, and their wings which I would recommend. The chicken isn’t over fried or battered - just good chicken with good sauce. Looking forward to coming back!
