I came in looking for a pizza to go. The bartender Brendan was friendly, honest, and excited about the food here. I asked for a good IPA and he let me taste the Altamont - Hella Hoppy on tap. So delicious, I ordered a tall one to drink while I waited for my Pancetta Feta Pizza takeout. I spoke with the friendly bartender and enjoyed the modern, sports bar/restaurant atmosphere. When the pizza came, I opened the box and a wave of delicious, light, buttery popcorn smell enticed me to eat while I finished my beer. As I took my first bite, I was hoping for a decent pizza and was rewarded with (in complete honesty) THE BEST PIZZA I have ever tasted. So much so, that I ate the rest of the 12" alone, before I left. It had unique combination of aroma and flavor that blended to excite the best parts of my palate, and a light and crisp, but not too thin crust that finished the experience with a perfect texture. I met the father of the chef (both partners and owners) who explained that it was his dream to make his sons dream of becoming a chef come true. Well guys, you have made my pizza dreams come true. And I thank you. Please maintain your passion and dedication to making delicious food. I will be back for your reportedly amazing blueberry desert!

They make a good thin-crust pizza here, and there are a huge amount of toppings to choose from, which is basically their schtick. The patio is on the sidewalk, lined with fragrant marjoram and other herbs. I cant recommend the "Detroit" style pizza, its basically Pizza Hut semi-deep dish, with a more spongy crust. Beware the scrambled egg topping, I thought it was Neapolitan-style soft-scrambled egg but it was just regular scrambled egg bits, which was super weird. Server noticed that my pizza was missing the tomato sauce, and didnt say anything. Food and service were both leisurely, especially considering the place was less than half full. Music is very loud inside, enough to inhibit conversation. I will probably come back here, decent pizza is really hard to come by in Livermore.

After working at Cravings for more than a year. Busting my tail, attempting to get more customers. I was left with no other choice to quit. No doubt the food is fresh, But the owners of the restaurant would rather get more money from you and make a pizza sloppily rather than give you the best quality pizza. That and the service is quite slow. Sorry, but one star. Rather have me live in the streets and go to Disney land and buy a new car for yourself.

We were there for 10 minutes after we seated ourselves. We had to get our own menus, and the waitress did not acknowledge that she was busy if thats what the issue was. There were not many people there and we had no service so we left before we ordered. The bartender was on the phone with a friend. The one server had no support and did not. It is very sad because we have been here before and the food was good. Without good service how can a place survive...

While driving from Yosemite to San Francisco we stopped here for lunch. AWESOME Pizza. The place is nicely decorated inside - including large TVs for the sports fans, and good music for others. It also has a great outdoor seating. Did I mention we are from NY and our pizza standards are very high? This pizza was tops! Great food, great service, great people. Enjoy.

Placed pick up order, told 60 minutes. Got a call 5 minutes later saying one of the things I ordered was priced wrong and that I had to pay 5 dollars more, so I changed my order. Showed up 30 minutes early to enjoy a beer and my food was ready. I asked why our food was ready when we were told an hour and the server was unsure. I had to rush my beer.

First time- good food. The second time, all three pizzas were extremely salty to the point where we couldnt eat them- which is odd. The Cesar salad was anything but a Cesar. It was lettuce and croutons, nothing more. It was the equivalent to a $2.00 salad. I was extremely disappointed with the food and I will not be returning.

Love this place. With their lunch special, or family can get perfectly sized personal pizzas for each of us, with exactly what we each want, and it be reasonably priced. They have a great atmosphere, beer on tap, and great staff. If only they had mozerlla sticks. Since they dont, 4 stars

Awesome pasta!! Its hard to find good honest pasta nowadays. Their pizza dough is great, not too thin, not to thick, they got the recipe just right, plus the fact that is baked to the correct crispiness. Salads are not abundant but the ingredients used are prime quality.

Montana is a great server. She was around when needed and was not overly talkative. Which for this visit was spot on. The food was good. Had the veggie pasta with the addition of chicken and bacon. Little disappointed that they did not have a bigger pasta selection.

The Bacon Alfredo was out of this world... Especially after a night of the Big Tree Lighting in Livermore....The crew was still on their game with service and yummy food, after serving 500 plus people ..... It was a delicious experience!!!

Wood fired pizza. Thats almost enough, ya? Their pizza menu is interesting, from a basic margarita to a Thai chicken. All of them are delicious. They have an OK draft beer selection.

Took forever just to take our drink order the forever to get our food and my boyfriends came out before mine. They did give us our meal free and dessert because it was my birthday.

Great food at an affordable price, decent beer and wine selection, usually room to get right in at a table or the bar, and their delivery service has been on point.

The pizza reads well on the menu, but often comes out mediocre. The servers mean well, but Ive experienced forgetfulness and poor service on multiple occasions.

Good food. The gelato is delicious. Sadly the oven wasnt working the day we visited so we didnt get to try the sweet potato fries.

That is a good but basic, casual Italian place. I enjoyed good pasta but it wasnt anything special.
