Soul Slice - Oakland

Hot tip: come check this place out before it gets too popular. I came here for the first time, a bit skeptical about the idea of combining soul food in pizza form on a biscuit crust. I was immediately proven wrong. This spot has everything you want in a hot and new eatery: Chill ambiance with fresh art on the walls and good music Exciting, unique, and surprisingly tasty creations at a reasonable price (e.g. fried okra that Louisiana natives dream of) Excellent and kind service Peep the pictures for some of what we tried. Definitely worth writing home about and bringing family and friends. P.S. As of December 14, 2021, it is open late (until 11:00 PM)

Pizza 1: DIY Chicken, Bacon, Onion with Mac Sauce, 2 cheeses and roasted garlic. Pizza 2: Vegan Hot Link Pizza. Sides: Black eyed peas, Broccoli , Cheesy grits, Fried okra Dessert: Peach cobbler let's start by saying the broccoli was INSANELY DELICIOUS! that was our favorite highlight of the meal. we came for the biscuit crust pizza and were blown away by the broccoli cooked with an OPEN FLAME! whoa! we'll be back for it. anyway, the pizzas were so good. i enjoyed the biscuit crust, it was very well put together but still had a pizza crust essence. the vegan links tasted like the real thing and added an amazing smokiness to the pizza. the chicken on the DIY pizza was delicious! the flavors were on point and we're so grateful for this experience! many blessings on this blossoming business

My friend and I were looking for a Black-owned spot in Oakland and we stumbled upon Soul Slice. After looking through the menu before eating here, I was nervous to try the different combinations of pizzas they had. A lot of the soul food staples on pizza, really had me shook and nervous to try. To my surprise though, the pizza was good. I was also nervous to see how a cornbread crust would be for pizza (REALLY GOOD). My friend and I ordered the Cajun Shrimp pizza. I thought it was a good pizza to ease in with. Our server also helped us to make the final decision because we were torn between the Hot Link Pizza and Cajun Shrimp Pizza. I'm glad we went with the Cajun Shrimp pizza cause it was really good. We ordered one whole pizza and shared it between the 2 of us. It was filling and enough for both of us. The pizza was more of a flatbread. The crust was really nice and had a crunch to it. It also had some sweetness to it which I liked. The toppings and the pizza sauce was great. Everything was well seasoned and tasted good. The chef accidentally put cheese on our pizza which was not a big deal. It didn't add or take away anything from the pizza but it definitely added more color and texture. Overall the pizza was good. Our server was really nice and very attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. They played soul music the entire evening and it was overall an excellent vibe. I would come back here to try another pizza.

I love the soul food here. It 's a great space, the bar, the fried oysters, the chicken nuggets, cocktails and fried okra. It 's very reasonably priced and Karter, is a kind 'soul '. One of the few black-owned soul food restaurants in the Bay area. Worth the trip.

I was looking for a Black owned restaurant that was had options outside of traditional soul food/bbq and this was one of the first results. If you're coming from outside of Oakland, it's in the part of Oakland that's close to Berkeley and Emeryville. I came on 12/30 at 5 pm and there was no wait. They require proof of COVID 19 vaccination and ID verification. The restaurant is pretty spacious and the artwork on the wall is a great touch. The playlist is also on point very much Soul Train esque and goes with the theme of the restaurant. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive (can't remember their name but they had short curly hair). We were deciding between the Cajun Shrimp vs Hot Link Pizzas. After talking to the server, we went with the Cajun shrimp pizza. It was bomb. The pizza is more flatbread style. The biscuit crust has a little bit of sweetness and is pretty crumbly so at times it can be hard to eat with a fork and knife. Everything was seasoned wonderfully. The pickled peppers also gave it a nice kick. I do wish it had a little more green onion but I'm also an onion fiend. Our pizza accidentally came with cheese on it which we didn't mind. It didn't add much flavor to the pizza but added a layer of texture. I think it's plenty for 2 people because I was very full afterwards. There's ample street parking directly adjacent to the restaurant and in the nearby neighborhoods. Also there is a happy hour on Wednesdays from 5 7 pm.
