Spud's Pizza

We need more places like Spud's in Berkeley! In addition to tasty pizza they have calzones, sandwiches, salads, wine, an excellent selection of quality beers (in bottles, on tap, and by the pitcher including Trumer Pils and Lagunitas IPA). They also have espresso and coffee bar with pastries and such. The space is large and pleasant: high ceilings, arched windows, lovely dcor, colorful and tasteful large works of art on the walls. There is free wireless internet, as well as computers you can rent for Internet use. There is a separate banquet room which can be rented for parties where they also have live music and comedy shows on weekend nights. There are plenty of tables near outlets to plug your laptop. There is pleasant, varied, not-too-loud music playing. It serves a diverse, family-oriented clientele. The lighting is soft and pleasant. In fact, the interior is so pleasant that it would even be a good candidate for a wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, or similar kind of celebration. It is very tasteful and large and historic-feeling -- seems to be a refurbished historic building.

I live in South Berkeley myself and I think Spud's is owned by a local resident of of this community. Spud's is JUST the kind of establishment that I WANT in our neighborhood. I also would recommend Spud's as a location for hosting a party, event, or fundraiser thats on the casual side but still aims to be nice. The interior is really pleasant and the service fast and friendly.

I will be returning often!
