“ Great take-out service and consistently delicious pizza that is always a crowd pleaser! ”
“ Delicious Buffalo chicken pizza! Service was also excellent, they constantly checked if everything was okay. They had one outdoor table for seating with a dog, and even brought me a water bowl for my dog. They had plenty of seating indoors too. I highly recommend this spot for good pizza if you're in the area! ”
“ Pizza and brunch are equally delicious! Lovely family owned place makes the service incredible! They really care about experience and quality! ”
“ Their pizza has been fabulous for years, and now I can say the same about the newly opened cafe. Great coffee and pastries yesterday. And fantastic brunch today. So nice to have a morning option. Check them out! ”
“ We love Red Boy! The owners and staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. The pizza is good, but the lasagna is even better. The ravioli is my kids' favorite. The brunch is also fantastic. I highly recommend the chilaquiles. The kids' pancakes are super fluffy and come with rainbow sprinkles. The French toast is also very good. ”
“ The meatball sandwich is a secret that has been hidden from me for way too long. All five stars are for that. ”
“ Was invited by a friend to meet for brunch. Nice area, very nice and quiet. Parking is free on Sundays. Close nearby shops and fairly close to the freeway. Was told they recently added a breakfast menu and open during breakfast hours. They are typically know for pizza, which I heard is really good too. It's a family owned business and you can definitely feel it when you come in. Everyone is so welcoming and warm, great customer service and delicious food. What more can you ask for? Since my friend has been here several times before, we had her order the items off the menu and shared it family style. Everything was very good and tasty. The mcgriddle is a secret menu item she asked for one day and they made.it for her. It is definitely a dish to share as it's 2 large pancakes filled with sausage, bacon, cheese and egg. Having the balance of sweet and salty was a game changer. Really enjoyed the food and will be back to try other breakfast items and pizza one day. ”
“ Dinner: (@Oakland location FYI) We went this past Monday for pizza and fries! I also got a tasty Greek salad too, the small was plenty enough to share. For pizza we chose the classic pepperoni cheese and sauce, but it's made on a thinner crust that's entitled the Luciano! It was Bruno! The dough is a signature sourdough btw and it's also vegan, so let's go Dough heads! The fries were thin, crunchy, and classic, for $7.50 the giant basket is yummy. They also have Deelish Local beers on tap from Temescal Brewing, along with water and soda.. but the best part is after dinner getting that yummy espresso shot from Oakland's finest, Mr. Espresso. At Red Boy they are using the organic Golden Gate Espresso, which is a medium-light- but super yummy, you could even get a cappuccino... Shout out to Daniel, Ariana, and Joe the pizza chef for their fine hospitality on a Monday evening. We can't wait to come back for Breakfast and the Oreo shake! Much love! ”
“ It makes me sad to have to write this since this place has been near and dear to our hearts for the past few years. We have come to know the current owners, Joe and Jeannine, and were so enamored with how much life they brought to an old staple in our neighborhood. We instantly became regulars and shared our love for this family owned business to our family and friends, but unfortunately they will be passing the torch to new management so my husband and I wanted to celebrate them and all their hard work. They go above and beyond for their customers and we can't thank them enough for sharing their generosity with us. Thank you for all the laughs and love, Tia Jeannine and Tio Joe! Wishing you both all the best in your future endeavors! ”
