Cheeseboard Pizza

Category: Restaurants

After years of selling fantastic cheeses and making great bread in the Cheeseboard Cheese Shop, someone decided to put the two together and the Cheeseboard Pizza co-op was formed. Is is a true co-op, worker owned and operated.

Like the world famous Chez Panisse across the street, diners here are told what their lunch or dinner will be - you don't get to choose your toppings because Cheeseboard only makes one kind of pizza a day (always vegetarian).


The one pizza a day thing is convenient in that you don't have to wait for them to bake your pizza. When you get to the front of the line just tell them how much you want and you get the next slice(s) ready. This makes the long line move pretty quickly.


This is not a typical tomato sauce pizza. It is a thin crust, coated with a little olive oil and topped with cheese and veggies. There are usually more than two kinds of cheese on the pizza and mozzarella isnt' necessary the primary cheese.


Even if one of the ingredients sounds wierd to you or is something you don't normally like, you should give it a try. These guys know what they are doing! I have seen many people start out sceptical of certain ingredients ("Lemon zest on a pizza?" or "I don't really like mushrooms on my pizza".) and end up loving that day's pizza.


Cheeseboard recently introduced a emailing list that sends out the menu for the week. Now you can know in advance what pizzas will be made each day. (As far as I know, right now the only way to get on the list is to sign up at the pizzeria.)"
