Lanesplitter Pub & Pizza

I can't say I am in love with this place, but its a great joint to check out for late night food. For daytime pizza, there are definitely better options, but at late night, past 10, you're not going to find better. I particularly enjoy their breadsticks but unfortunately, it is not gluten free as their pizza crusts are. The staff seems like a bunch of cool guys and the place has cozy decorations and local art hung around the place. Not bad at all.

Used to love this place for a decent thin slice. Ordered a pie the other night...after checking out the menu online I ordered a large, listed as $24.50. I thought that’s a lot considering you can get a beautiful Arizmendi pizza around the corner for $20, but figured a change was good. When I called in it sounded like the price was $38.50. I figured I heard wrong...but no. The pizza was FORTY DOLLARS. They said the website had not been updated. They were all nice and somewhat sheepish, but never again. It’s a good $20 pizza, def NOT $40.

My favorite pizza place in the East Bay. What can I say I'm simple. Do not ever have it delivered to your location (they contract out) currently the only way to have the pizza delivered) sadly, your order will be 2 to 3 hrs and delivered ruined. Order by phone and pick up in person. DELICIOUS!!!

2/21/15 I spent an afternoon at Jack London Square and then visited with my husband's sister who lives in Oakland. We were hungry and craving pizza, so she suggested this Lanesplitter location - which wasn't far from her home. I've had Lanesplitter before, and I like it well enough. They had a couple vegetarian options and I ordered two of the large slices. My husband ordered two slices of pepperoni and a soda (can) - I brought my own container of water. Our total was $18.53. We finished paying and found a table - there was only one other group seated at this point, and a couple people standing around - yet every table was pretty dirty. As we wiped our table clean, a woman came in asking for money. She asked each person in the place, and a couple kids gave her some change. We had no change and gave her only a smile. I was surprised the employees didn't ask her to go outside, but she wasn't there very long. We waited a few more minutes before the pizza came out, cooked well-done on request. I ate most of mine and my husband finished his. Before we finished, we found ourselves face to face with the same woman asking for change. We were seated at the table next to the cashier - why do employees find this acceptable? If she had asked for pizza, I'd be okay helping out, but I don't want to be asked to give away money while I'm eating dinner.

I love New York Style Pizza, I love a place with an edge, and I love ordering by the slice. But if you can't make a good pizza, its a waste. This place is too expensive and perhaps they are trying to have too much variety for their volume of business, but the pizza always seems stale to me.

Solid, traditional pizza. Reminds me of college. I think calling it NY style (or any style for that matter) is a bit of a stretch. It's just normal old pizza. Good for a slice when you are on the go, but I think if I was ordering out I'd try one of the other pizza joints in the area. Oakland is sick with great pizza options.

I'm from New York, so therefore I am a pizza snob. I've never had good pizza since I moved to SF, so you can imagine how skeptical I am with any advertised "real NY" pizza. Well Lanesplitter is pretty legit. The crust is not only thin, but the right kind of thin. Just needs more sauce and more greasy cheese and then it'll be perfect.

Always open till little later than other places and has really good pizza. Vegetarian and vegan options also available. Friendly staff and it's decently clean. Prices are pretty average as well, not expensive. Accessible on Lakeshore!
