Raymond’s Pizzeria

Great pizza, sauce and dough are standouts. Buy by the slice or a pie-2 flavors. They warm up the slice at time of ordering, served hot and ready to eat. Plenty of free street parking, and cool neighborhood. Service at the counter could be better, folks don’t seem happy and some tables were quite dirty. Also, door is open, I saw a fly landing on the pizza. Could the door be closed or blower at the entrance? Great beer on draft from Russian River! Pliny the Elder on draft always. They also have Elder for sale in bottles. I came here for the Pliny the Younger tapping and had the chance to try it this year 🤙🏽.

Cool pizza spot! Courteous, prompt and helpful service. We ordered a large pie to go...but enjoyed a hot, fresh slice in the car. Stop by Raymond's for a whole pie or pizza by the slice and a cold draft beer when you're in the area. It's the right move. Trust me. 😊

I heard about this pizza place and they pretty much have good food here. They say that their garlic knots are popular, which I did not have yet. Since it’s my first time going here, I decided to try their pizzas first. The pizza is amazingly delicious along with the root beer they offer us. Unlike Pizza My Heart, they also serve squared slices, which are smaller than the regular ones. It’s $4-5 per slice, which is very reasonable priced considering the size of those pizzas (not the squared ones). The place is very small. Not scenic, but a good place to hangout with your friends for a short time. I also asked them for my pizza for here, but mistakenly put it as it togo , but that’s no issue. Though that it’s very far from where I live, I’m still considering myself to come back here and try other options especially the garlic knots.

There is something about the garlic knots that keep me coming back. That dough has the right chew, the right toasted bits and they are smothered in fresh garlic. I only get sad when I show up and they are sold out or they are closed 🤣 I definitely come here for the knots alone, they are what I describe to others as fluffy pillows of love. A group of us came here on Friday for a pour of Pliny the Younger, some garlic knots and a slice of pie (I get the McMushroom). It was buzzing, standing room only for us for awhile. The raymonds team had the service dialed in. A pour of Pliny was ready for all customers bc they knew everyone would want a pour with their slice. Raymonds only pours Russian River so there is always a tasty beer either to have on site or take home. And can I say this enough? The garlic knots are 🔥😋 Their dough is 🧑🏻‍🍳😘🤌🏻

i went in after seeing good reviews and ordered one pepperoni slice. went outside to wait, came back in and the guy had warmed me up two. really nice staff and great ny style pizza. the crust is something to write home about!

Phenomenal, thin crust and grandma style pies. They provided great customer service and a friendly atmosphere when I dined in for lunch. I even took a whole pizza back home for dinner, which reheated extremely well in the oven at home. I will definitely be back.

Low and behold, what do we have here? An amazing pizza spot! Pizza + Garlic Knots + Beer = Happiness. Raymond’s Pizzeria Point Richmond is a bright destination offering pan & thin-crust pies and slices, plus a few salads, meatballs & draft beers. Just stumbled upon it while exploring the neighborhood. 🍕🍺

I grew up in New York, but I've been living California for 30 years. Ive eaten at every "New York" pizza joint on the west coast by now, and Raymond’s does it best. The taste, the size, the texture, all perfect. It's a real slice of Brooklyn pizza. Bravo!

Raymond's Pizza is a total gem in Point Richmond! Their pies are simple, fresh, and delicious. They only have two flavors in Detroit style, but honestly, it's the perfect amount of choice. Plus, they actually ask if you want a corner slice or a center slice -- and trust me, it does make a difference. Corner slices = crispy, cheesy goodness. Center slices = soft and saucy. This is top-tier pizza decision-making, people. The vibe here? A straight-up party. They were blasting 80s slow jams, and I'm talking classic tracks that took me straight back to singing with my mom in the car. So yeah, there was some serious nostalgic grooving going on. Oh, and to make it even more festive, they had Home Alone on the TV (holiday goals) and a sports game projected on the wall (fun for the whole fam!). The place itself is cute, clean, and cozy -- perfect for hanging out. Honestly, I do wonder if they ever switch up their pizza flavors. Maybe a "special of the week" would add a little variety, but hey, the current pies are great, so no complaints here. Will definitely be back for more!

The pizza is great! Perfect amount of cheese and crust. It's not super saucy, not too thick and not too thin. Always tastes fresh! garlic knots are award winners, they do fill you up though so choose your carbs wisely lol The service sucks. Just unfriendly and not welcoming at all, this is why I knocked it down from 5 stars. I tried to be friendly to the cashier and he was so standoffish like I was bothering him. The cook came from the back, I smiled just to see and a straight face is all I got back. If they'd work on their service I'd go back more often other than when I have an appointment over there and I would recommend more people. Again, they are so unfriendly and unwelcoming. The ambiance is okay for a pizza joint. Super casual but it seems clean.

I heard about this pizza place and they pretty much have good food here. They say that their garlic knots are popular, which I did not have yet. Since it's my first time going here, I decided to try their pizzas first. The pizza is amazingly delicious along with the root beer they offer us.

The pizza is so so yummy and tastes fresh and just genuinely gourmet. Garlic knots are also a 10/10. Staff is friendly and the service was straight to the point and an overall good experience. A chill little pizza place with GREAT food.

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond. I don't agree that it's "amazing pizza". My guess is that a lot of folks who write in about this place haven't traveled far out of Point Richmond. This pizza is just OK. It's tasty and the ingredients are fresh. I'll even say that the dough is quality, but let's face it: It's incredibly bready, greasy, and could be a lot more fulfilling. I don't know anyone who wants to receive that much crust at the end of a slice and I've never seen anyone eat all of it because we all know it's wrong. There's enough of it that one could make a baguette-style sandwich for the next day (take a look at some of the photos). When I go out to pizza I don't like to F around and this place always makes me feel like I could have gone somewhere else. Ingredients-wise, I feel like they skimp on nearly everything, with the exception of jalepeños and pepperoni. Pepperoni is cheap and I don't need more of it in my life. They should offer more variety in the toppings, and more combinations for toppings in addition to putting more care into what goes on the pizza (sauces, cheeses, consistency, etc). I have not asked for sauce on the side, but I suppose you can do that... they need more of it on the pie. It's a dry, oily pie. I've grown super bored of the options they offer for takeaway slices. I love that they have good craft brew here, but the pizza doesn't hold a candle to it. I don't blame them for serving grandma pie (tradition) but I hate it with a passion because I don't believe that pizza sauce should be sweet. Anyway, I always end up feeling underwhelmed.

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. I love the aesthetic of the place. The staff were really welcoming and nice. You have the option to order slices or pie. I came here with a group, we ordered two pies. Most importantly the pizza is solid! As someone who lived in the NYC previously, I can honestly say that this is one of the best pizza places I've had in the Bay. The pizza dough perfectly crispy and thin, the crust was airy and light, the ingredients were fresh, and I really like the deep pepperonis. Not pictured: we also had a pizza with jalapenos on top. That really kicked my throat but I couldn't stop eating it. I knew right then that this place was not messing around with their flavors. If spicy food is your thing, order that! I believe it was the Rules Are Meant to Be Broken pizza.

So good that we had to go visit twice on our trip up north! We visit the area frequently and this place was highly recommended. The first night we hosted a large family gathering and everyone was thrilled when we shared we'd be ordering Raymond's. I ordered it ahead of time it was so easy to pick up. The service each time was friendly, helpful, and quick. The restaurant is simple and clean, super straight forward for a pizza joint.

Super fresh and tasty pie. I love a good slice house, and Raymond's has a good variety of options to choose from. Got the margherita and a spicy slice, was not disappointed. Also snagged some garlic knots to share, as they were fresh out of the oven, highly recommended move if you're lucky enough to catch them that fresh. The beer selection is all Russian River, which I'm not mad at. They have some hot honey available too, but beware, it is pretty spicy. Ample seating for a quick meal, and even has some Outdoor seating as well.

Raymond's Pizzeria is such a gem to the Richmond, East Bay Area! Slice houses seem to be almost a rarity on this side of the bridge, but so happy we've found a spot that we can grab a quick slice or sit down for a minute and take a load off, order a full pie, watch some Sports, enjoy the hip vibes and tunes. This is the type of spot you pay/order over the counter as you peer at all the yummy garlic knots and slice/flavor options. If you're looking for a non-tomato pie, they typically have slices of the McMushroom available (garlic olive oil base, mozzarella, cremini mushrooms, ricotta, thyme, & white truffle oil). Tomato-wise, truly can't go wrong with their Margarita? (question mark intentional) - the sauce is so fresh & I love the mozza pearls they add on top! Raymond's also offers beer on tap & wine in a can ~ a super fun Friday offer is coined "40oz Fridays"..for $10 you get a slice of cheese and a 40oz of Miller High Life or Pabst, cheers! With a super cool staff & mantra of "no chicken, no ranch, no pineapple, no freezer", there should be no room for interpretations. Pizza is what they do, really really well. You can even order takeout or delivery thru the Yelp app! Parking available & location is next to a fun, Richmond drinking hole called Up & Under and other Point Richmond classics.

I stumbled upon this casual but hip Pizzeria after a sauna session nearby over the weekend. Nearby options were either closed, too heavy, or too simple. I'm often amused by places that don't take themselves too seriously as they had a free Time Travel Consultation sign and offer free box with any purchase of a pizza lol, SOLD! - McMushroom: Garlic olive oil base, mozzarella & cremini mushrooms. Finished with ricotta, thyme, & white truffle oil. (You can add arugula for $2 extra) - Rules Are Meant to Be Broken: Our house pickled hot peppers on top of mozzarella & spicy marinara, spicy sopressatta, house infused picante olive oil. I noticed they had Sicilian style (square and thin-NOT DETROIT style) options for some the flavors. The crust was very flavorful and even after 5 hours our one left over slice was still soft!! I didn't realize they offered other items beyond pizza (sliders, salads, bruschetta) because I just ordered what I saw on the counter, which was mainly pizza. Even then, the menu is quite simple and not overwhelming. Now I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but I would say it beats some of the pizzerias I go to in the South Bay in terms of proper crispness, flavoring, and options. Would return again if I'm in the area.

After reading a review by Gina G. , we decided to take the 50 minute round trip drive to revisit Raymond's. Her review was cheerful and spot on. My review- curmudgeoney and spot on. PHOTO #... 1) Excited to come back and try Raymond's after about four years. ---- Nobody greets you as you enter. No "Hello!" or "Welcome!" . We get in line with the other sheep. ---- 2) Pizza by the slice is ordered at the counter. It's precooked and gets reheated when ordered. The metal chairs and tables in the back and outside are reminiscent of eating at a Costco. Nothing to entice one to get up and buy more $8 beers from their nice beer selection. ---- 3) Some crust was overcooked and too dry. The reheated food was OK to the taste but nothing to brag about. When it begins to cool it has the texture of what it is. Reheated food. 4) The garlic bread is served steaming hot with a small container of refrigerated cold pizza sauce. A bad heat and cold pairing. The bread gets tough when it cools. Eat quickly. 5,6) Slices of pizza served on paper plates and waxed paper. All totaled. four slices of pizza, garlic bread, one coke and one beer. About $38. 7) The cashier\cook\janitor seemed too rushed. Napkins, straws (if any), condiments, cups (if any) were not at the tables. You need to search them out or ask the cashier- which made it a pain to finally sit down and eat. One worker eats behind the pizza boxes while he is preparing food. This is the second restaurant I won't go back to because of a cook chewing while cooking faux pas. And No, that is not his real face in the photo. 8) There is one variable sex bathroom. Fairly clean but bring your own seat liner. Pro Tip- Ask cashier for the secret access code to enter.. Notes The establishment is fairly clean except for the possible food prep eating incident. ----- Concerning Photo #4 - Arizmendi in Emeryville has a beautifully delicious method of half cooking a pizza and then finishing it off for the customer upon order being placed. Raymond's might look into this. ---- We bussed our own table. As we left, the two employees running the show were in a deep conversation, actively ignoring their paying customer's departure. Thank You and Good Bye.

The pizza here is undeniably good--probably some of the best in the area. I've come back multiple times because of it, but every visit feels like pulling teeth. The staff, especially the cashier, consistently act as though I'm personally responsible for putting them in to poverty. I've never once felt welcomed as a customer, which is baffling for a place that relies on customer service. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend ordering online to minimize interaction. If they installed a self-serve kiosk, the owner would probably make a fortune and retire early because the pizza alone would keep people coming back. But as it stands, the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Very tasty and great crust! Ordered the Little Bunny Rabbit Pizza and it was so delicious! Also garlic knots were to die for couple of Russian River STS Pilsner's beers and it made my day! Employees were really nice and polite! The place is neat simple and well organized. Great art work on the wall. Few tables inside and outside, also a small bar. Clean restroom which is a plus. It was my second time and I'd definitely go back again!

I really enjoy this place. Pizza is very good and the mushroom is my favorite. Salads are always good and I always need the garlic knots.

I was looking for someone who has garlic knots to go with my pasta and this place came up on Yelp. They were the best ones I have ever had. When you warm them up, the outside is just a little crispy and the inside is soft. This is the place for garlic knots. The service was also great. I need to try the pizza sometime.

If you're ever looking for a good food spot in Point Richmond, this is the place for you. Amazing service from staff and great quality pizza!

This place is a great local joint with delicious pizzas! I've been here several times and I have to say, you can't go wrong with the margherita pizza here! Got some for dinner with the family and slices were huge! My personal favorite is the specialty pizza, Rules Are Meant To Be Broken - it incorporates delicious spice and peppers with an abundance of sauce. My favorite part about having the pizza here? The habanero honey! This is the only place I know where the hot honey is actually spicy enough for me! Every time I've visited this place, the pizza was made fresh and the staff were quick and friendly. I love how despite how small it looks on the outside, the space itself is open and wide. For its size and quality, the prices here are fair game. This little spot deserves its flowers. IT NEVER MISSES!

After seeing several people post about Raymond's i decided to stop by today. Didn't pay much attention to the ambiance, as I was taking food to go to eat in the car. What we got: Grandma style specialty slice ----pepperoni/jalapeño/hot honey McMushroom Slice Pepperoni slice The verdict: Grandma slice- sooo good!! McMushroom- was good, but not hot enough for my liking Pepperoni- mom said it had too much sauce. One side had a big bubble and almost no cheese some things that could use improvement: - while the flavor was there it could have been improved - such as hotter slices- they put in oven to heat up but it wasn't enough for the regular slices. pan/grandma style was perfect temp. - website hours state they open at 11. I showed up at 11:45. The door shows 12 (which is the correct time). I mentioned to the gentleman that took my order since i was the first in the door, and he said that they know, and have asked the owner to fix it. Had I arrived any earlier than i did, i would have likely gone next door for a burrito instead, which means they are likely losing sales for this reason. - packaging for togo orders is pitiful. They put 2 slices on a flimsy plate then the wax paper on top, then put another plate on top with the granny slice, another plate on that, then into a paper bag. When i asked about a box, was told they only have big boxes, and you have to order 5 slices or more for that. They need some smaller boxes. To sum it up- i would likely give them another to try the granny style slices, or maybe a whole pizza.

Bought a large order for a recent party based solely on the reviews and was very pleased! Quality ingredients and excellent taste. Set a time for pickup and everything was ready right on schedule. Staff was very friendly and helped me to my car down the street. Will definitely order here again!

What a wonderful spot to have in point Richmond to get single slice pizza or get a whole pie I love their mushroom ricotta truffle pizza. It's delicious. I went back two days in a row to get that another slice I also was able to grab me a Mexican Coke. The service was fast and the workers were friendly. Definitely go to spot when I wanna try a new pizza just by a slice. It's totally affordable and worth it.

I read about this mystery pizza spot in a Best of Bay Area pizza list, and I have to agree - someone there knows what they are doing. Both thick and thin crusts are delicious, and I had a vodka slice with garlic oil that was one of the best tasting pizzas I've ever had! The garlic knots are easily the best version of the food I've ever had! A must-stop next time you are in Richmond with a rumbly in your tummy - I wish I could go work for them for a week and learn pizza secrets!

Cute place great pizza. Good service and lots of ambiance. A very chill vibe here. Pizza by the slice with quick service. Raymond's pizza is very under rated. Will visit here again. Five Star all the way.

This is the best slice shop in the country. The service is great - I order pizza and I get it. The inside is always clean and well-maintained.

Pretty good pizza .. we tried the mushroom pizza and it was fresh. My only critique is that I wish there was actually more mushroom on it but overall good.

Being a family of Pizza snobs from NY. ( 47 years ago) This just might be my new favorite go to for pizza in East Bay ! The bottom crust was the perfect thickness and crisp . The cheese was really fine! And THe sauce was very tasty , just the right acidity and flavor. I give this first pizza 4.5 stars because of the big burntish bubbles of crust that rose up through the cheese in the middle of the pie. I personally would like the sauce spread out fully and evenly under the cheese to prevent the big crunchy empty bubbles in the middle of some of the slices . That was my only issue. I will try it again !

For an inexpensive lunch, and gourmet-style slice of pizza you cannot beat this place! Have the mushroom truffle (oil no tomato sauce) pizza, and please leave a slice for me. So yummy! The service is always kind, and they are on it. Thank you!

Food: pizza tastes good enough to say it's good! Ok, I am a little tipsy from next door. So my tongue isn't doing too good at all. Update: after the a few bites...the dough wasn't even cooked thoroughly even after it was a reheated slice Service: the guy who serve me was horrifying.. bad service Ambiance: fine, I escaped from the indoor. The guy just gave me a creep!

Yummy! Our favorite is the Mcmushroom! You must come early because they sell out fast.. staff is friendly and have good bottled drink options. The vegan Caesar is pretty yummy as well. 10/10

Service sucks but the pizza is good (and only the pizza). The salads are very sad looking for the price. $12 for handful of lettuce and a sprinkling of croutons. We were also charge $15 because we called ahead and asked to reserve a table for 6 people. No one mentioned the charge and I didn't even know there was an extra charge until I got home and read the receipt. The receipt said "custom charge: $15". I had to call the shop ask why they added an additional $15. Edit: apparently the extra charge was was actually a corkage fee, but we didn't bring any alcohol.

The pizza was good enough, I ate it and enjoyed it. The interaction with two employees was unfriendly. It felt unformfortable when my friend was spoken to in a way that felt disrepectul, over her question about the menu. I experienced sarcasm when asking if my pizza was done. That was offputting.

The pizza is fantastic just don't ask for ranch or them to add anything to any slices they'll treat you as if you're inferior like you just asked them to name their first born after you. Snobby atmosphere but really good pizza.

I love this place. It's a hidden gem and some of the best pizza around. It's modestly priced and absolutely delicious. The staff is really nice and it's always a chill place to hang out with local friends. I need to come back more often.

Every time I go to Raymond's they never disappoint. The pizza, staff and ambiance is always so consistent. I don't live in the area, but on some days I'll make the drive just to have their great pizza.

How desperately the point needed decent pizza. How eagerly Raymond's stepped up to bat. Raymond's makes a good pie. Delicious crust. Quality cheese. I could have used more sauce. Polka dots of sauce leave me unsatisfied. We also got the Caesar salad. I could have done with a few more of the tasty crispy capers but it was a great salad. I am delighted the point has this awesome addition and excited to be back.

The pizza IS SO GOOD. I absolutely love this idea place and I always get their pizza every Tuesday.

Ok if you hit them at peak dinner you may wait and should call it in. But we have eaten there more than twenty times now. These guys are always super cool and the pies are some of the best on the planet. We really enjoy the tables out front during the summer. If you ARE really hungry there are always slices ready and waiting for you. Also, if you're solo, the little bar at the front is great for a couple slices and a beer or two.

How I miss pizza sold by slice. Is it me or are these just more plentiful on the east Coast? Anyway, I've found myself gravitating to Point Richmond when I have an itch to travel and then remember that we're still in a pandemic and maybe shouldn't. All that to say that the area and now this delight transport me. I had been meaning to come here for a while now but it was on a casual stroll between lunch and dinner with the munchies that I decided to give it a try. A slice was just the right snack that I didn't know I needed in my life. I couldn't even wait take a picture without a bite. I got a special slice of the day and really appreciate the fresh ingredients used. I have nothing to say about the pizza itself other than, "more please." Excited to try their other slices soon and maybe one day when I've landed on my favorite take a whole pie home. My only complaint is that when I went they still were not doing indoor dining, and the few tables they had outside won't keep you dry from the randomest of untimely rain.

Good beer on tap. Pizza was fine. Staff was a bit unprofessional, but cool and laid back. I'd come here again. Interesting neon sign out front. ;)

It was so good I had to go back again. I was not disappointed. Same thing, awesome big slice of pepperoni pizza for 4.25 . Split it in half and still have room for those amazing buttery gooey garlic knots. And yeah an IPA was involved again. But I don't regret it. It's worth the trip and calories. The pizza is thick crust, but then thin at the bottom. Like the pizza from New York that's thin but the soft bottoms of NY pizza are crunchy here. The crust is crisp but light on the bottom and the pepperoni on top is crispy when you bite into it. The reason why is (my educated guess) cuz it isn't greasy like most pizzas. Dang it just talking and now I want pizza I update..

I'm a pizza critic. I wanted to fall in love with this place, but they left a bit to be desired. We ordered the McMushroom and Garlic Knots. They ran out of Garlic Knots on a Friday at 7pm - literally right during rush hour pizza time. Walking in to pick up showed how chaotic and unorganized their operations are. Their hours are wrong on their website apparently and they were not making whole pies past 7pm. Weird! On a Friday at peak rush time. Anyways onto the pizza. After I was given the wrong pizza and ran back in to correct it (also a wtf moment), we were left feeling like the truffle flavor was completely lost on us AND they skimped out on the mushrooms. Truffle flavor was there but very minimal compared to others I've had. Crust was fine but overall chewy so not very typical of a thin crust style just FYI. Overall was disappointed a bit because this place came highly recommended and for nearly $30 a pizza I'd rather just stick to what I know is consistently good... You all know the name.. Rhymes with "breeze chord"

We always get the McMushroom pizza and it's so great we've yet to try another! The ricotta cheese on it paired with all the mushroom-y umami is just too good. My boyfriend who usually is not a fan of truffle flavor things, actually loves this pizza too. Their garlic knots are also a must! We always have to get them. The problem is always deciding whether we want 3 or 6! A couple things worth noting though after ordering pizza from here many times now - expect a wait. We've almost always been quoted 25 minutes on phone orders, but 2 out of 3 times they were ready, and the third time it was closer to an hour! But they do get busy in the evening so if you want the accurate wait times, definitely go earlier if possible. Last thing is be sure to check their hours here on Yelp. Their hours are listed on their website too, but they're not updated. For example they're actually open at noon nowadays, but their website says it opens at 11.

Great pizza, friendly staff, prompt service. My only complaint is that they only take card. Let people pay with cash!

The garlic knots are fantastic as is the pizza. The guy with the beard behind the counter is a riot.

In-laws bring it 1.5 hours to us , even cold MANY hours later (1 am after a concert) still just bombsy. BOMBSY! CRAZY good.

Raymond's has been our go to when not wanting to cook. Pricey but up until last night quality has been worth it. Last night i ordered pickup. Said it would be ready in 15 minutes. Was there in 15 minutes and handed pizza from a stack of two. When got home found it was an old overcooked pizza. You just lost a customer. Good job. Hope it was worth it to your business. Customer beware. Check your pizza before leaving.

Hella good. Greasy, but good. This is one of those places where on paper you might not eat the listed ingredients together, but somehow the chefs make every slice magical. Oh and try the garlic knots.

New York crust. 100% accurate. This is delicious pizza. Good vibes, draft beers on tap, and a couple of outdoor tables. The artwork inside is cheeky and the young guys who work here are nice.

One of the best pizza spots around! Great service and even better pizza I had garlic knots and pepperoni pizza

Something that is missing on the West Coast of California are places that do pizza by the slice and Raymond does it the best way. If you'd like Celestino's located in Chico, this is the next best thing and it's in the bay area. Hop the bridge and grab some garlic knots some Russian river, beer and a slice of some of the best pizza on the West Coast.
