Forge Rockridge - (Near Oakland, CA)

4 /5 Mike Nolan: The food here is very good overall but the pizza has yet to come out hot... It is either pretty warm or just warm and not hot... Salads are very good, as well as, everything else I have tried has been good too. I like the sourdough crust and the location so, I will continue to give it a try when I am in the area

5 /5 Sophie Shoemaker: Really thrilled this opened in the Rockridge neighborhood after moving from Jack London Square. Really good food, great drink selection, good environment and fast service. We had chicken wings, fries and the mushroom pizza. All of it was great. The fried things came out hot and fresh, but not burn your mouth hot. Dipping sauces were great. Pizza crust was flavorful and crisp. I look forward to coming back often and enjoying the beautiful patio.

3 /5 Amira A: We ordered the Fritto Misto, first ingredient listed is calamari. We searched but there was shrimp, asparagus, etc but no calamari. We told the waitress and she said she would let the chef know but while she was very sweet she never got back to us about it?? For the price of the dish, for no calamari, it was really disappointing. We also ordered burrata which took over 30 minutes to get to us, on a Monday evening that didn’t seem that busy, and the triangle shaped slices of flat pizza dough that came with it didn’t seem that appetizing. The burrata itself tasted good. Finally we ordered the margherita pizza, which was certainly tasty, but as you can see in the photo it didn’t look as appetizing as some of the advertised photos from Forge. No beautiful blobs of cheese. Which might’ve been ok if it weren’t for the lack of calamari and super slow burrata… I brought out of town family visitors hoping it would be a much better experience but it was pretty disappointing overall.

5 /5 King Aaronette (Chef AK): Great patio! So happy they moved to College Ave. The burgers is delicious and fries crispy. We had the zucchini as a starter, its ok, but missing something. Maybe preserved lemon, balsamic drizzle, a smoked salt, something. Help with wine would be good too, both the rose and the chardonnay werent good at all. But our gin drinks were perfect. Overall really good and a great spot for day dates with my bestie.
