The pizza was just alllllright. I kinda wish we came up on another day when they had a different vegetarian pizza going through their rotation. The one I got to try was their corn/zucchini one. I liked the crust and adding a spritz of lime juice on top of your slice is interesting, but the pizza just tasted like a plain ol cheese pizza to me. Mother said its because the veggies were thinly shredded under the cheese so they were hard to notice. Fair enough. But I like bold, in your face toppings on my pizza. Also, the green sauce that every review raves about is just a cilantro/mint/lime sauce. If youre familiar with the popular Indian snack--samosas-- its really nothing different from the mint chutney you eat with a samosa. Not hating on their sauce, Im just saying its not anything supremely extraordinary never tasted anything like it before status. It does taste nice with your last few bites of crust though. Overall, Id stop in here if I was in the area or a student needing a quick slice on the go (they are quite budget friendly). But it wasnt worth the drive up from the South Bay for me.

Sliver is great, perfectly located for lunch and the pizza is just great. There isnt a pizza here that is bad and actually I had the salad catered once and it was also really great. They are quick and friendly, their slice to slice variation has gotten a lot more consistent (almost approaching the consistency slice to slice at cheeseboard), and I really just have no complaints about the restaurant. If youve got a pizza craving sliver will satisfy you perfectly, and dont forget the green salsa! The one thing I will mention is that the delivery service they have with Caviar is kind of a rip off, theres a huge service fee and the driver we had for the Caviar delivery was super sketchy and had a lot of trouble finding us on the edge of campus (and then ultimately stopped in a silly location blocking traffic). If you want sliver for a function on campus just have someone walk over. Thats more on Caviar than sliver though.

Their sister restaurant Cheeseboard is better for pizza but here its better for drinks because of full bar. Then again I only came here once & probably last because of location, long wait for half a pizza to eat there. Bartender was nice, so was cashier for food (separate line). It was probably a fluke with shift changing or something because our pizza was very disappointing. Pizza was reheated, not fresh (see from pictures) & one of the slices had the tomatoes stem still on there (picture). For the hassle of finding parking & busy location, I wouldnt come here again specifically for the pizza. We did luck out & didnt order a whole pizza. Anyway, Id grab a drink, sit by the window on a nice day & people watch. That was a one star. Although for the drink I got, I didnt understand why it was rimmed with salt... eh, cheers! Drink here & eat elsewhere.

Ok so they generally only have one type of zza on the daily menu which can be good if you go everyday or bad if its not what you were looking for. So I suggest you lookup their menu online to see what theyre serving that week so you know when to go. Or just go and live for the suprise flave of the day as all of their creations of zza are tasty vegitarian and comes with this pesto dipping sauce thats good enough to slather on just about anything you wanna put in your mouth. Oh did I mention they carry on tap Berkeleys best all organic pizza pairing craft beer from Bison, oh yes its the Honey Basil? This is the best pairing of suds n zzas anywhere which is why they get all 5 stars!! If you love zzas n beer this is where you wanna go once before you die.

As far as customer experience goes, this place might as well be another Cheeseboard location. The pizzas are very similar and there is only one type each day. They include small extra slices with your order. They even have the same green sauce. The only inconsistencies, really, are that Sliver is closer to the UC Berkeley campus and has a shorter line. If youre really picky like me, you might be nervous about going somewhere that offers only one type of food. This actually hasnt been a problem for me. The times Ive gone, theyve happened to have pizza Im okay with. They also post the menu for the week outside, so you can see what theyre offering each day and plan your weeks meals accordingly.

Sliver is some of the best pizza Ive tasted and a bit better than Cheese board in Berkeley IMHO. Its cheap, fast, efficient, and has creative and delicious combinations. All the pizzas here are vegetarian and each slice comes with a "sliver." The best Ive had was the corn pizza, and even ones without bigger vegetables still taste good. I usually dislike feta but the tomato one I had there was still amazing. I recommend this place to those who like citrus since they are big on limes and citrus flavors. Although its a bit oily, the pizza is flavorful, has nice texture, and reasonably priced.

These guys are awesome. I dont know why Google doesnt list them as a pizza place, because thats their main deal. They are very similar to Cheeseboard, except for how the business is run and where the money goes to, but the consumer wouldnt really know about that stuff if all they care about is flavor. They make a new pizza everyday, and every evening there is live music. It has an awesome atmosphere, more seating than Cheeseboard, and a full bar. I believe if you order a pitcher you get some quantity of "slivers" (where they get their name) of pizza. 5 out of 5

Really great pizza from the same folks behind Cheeseboard. I prefer coming here because they open later than Cheeseboard and there is also a full bar. Always a plus. The atmospheres a bit more sports-bar like, but they do have live music like Cheeseboard. The last time I went we sat outside and people watched. The band was really really talented as well. And can you believe it, they were high schoolers! I highly recommend coming here for a great pizza. Its a good alternative to Jupiter or Build.

You wont regret coming to Sliver. Its brought to you by three Cheeseboard alums, so its an almost identical model. There is live jazz. There is one type of pizza per day. You buy either a whole pie, half pie, or slice. Any size comes with bonus a bonus sliver. Unlike Cheeseboard, Sliver has a complimentary green sauce and tvs throughout the room. There is also a bar area where they make great cocktails and serve draft beer. There is also no median to sit on, so no guaranteed any seating.

Just like Cheesboard, but with beer on the tap, no line out the door, and more seating. Its also closer to campus, which is a huge plus. Unlike Cheeseboard, which sometimes does not give you the extra sliver, this place consistently gives it. The slices are $2.75 each (tax included), whereas Cheeseboards is $2.50 plus tax. Overall, this is a good convenient alternative to Cheeseboards pizza, but you still cant get the bread, pastries and cheese that you do at Cheeseboard!

Went to Sliver tonight with my sister for a relaxing weekend dinner. The pizza here is the same as Cheeseboards down on Shattuck. The nice thing about Sliver is that theres live music, plenty of seating, and a full bar with happy hour! We ordered a whole pizza, which is enough for 4 people really but we wanted some leftovers. They only serve one type of a pizza a day. Today happened to be tomatoes, corn, and some other ingredients. It was absolutely delicious.
