Went here on a whim not knowing what it was about and we were definitely pleased. Square pizzas that are deep dish / Detroit style are my all time favorite! I loved the crispy edges and really enjoyed the taste of my pizza! Very flavorful .. but there's a slight sweetness with the sauce that I'm personally not a big fan of.. however, it's not horrible and I would definitely come here again. Service is excellent from everyone! They were patient with all of my needs and very helpful. There is plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside as well. We found street parking and I think there may be lots and a parking garage near by. With their specialty pizzas, you cannot make any changes or add ons. That was kind of disappointing because I don't mind being charged for add ons! But, you are able to build your own pizza (can get expensive though.) Price point may seem a bit high for most, but the pizza is thick/heavy and tasty! So it's worth it to try if you're into deep dish pizzas!

UPDATE: 7/11/2024 I recently went back here and tried another pizza and was pleasantly impressed with how good it was. I'm glad I gave this place another try. Pic below

I am blown awwwwaaaaaayyyyyy. I have been wanting to try this place for the longest & I am very well aware that I am late to the hype. Which is good because I am convinced I would have been a solid 300 pounds. I ordered the sausage, with pep that had a white sauce and the hot honey drizzle along with the crispy Brussels sprouts, now both of these dishes were AMAZING but omg those Brussels just did something for me? The sauce that was served with it is bomb.com but honestly I was sitting there in my living room watching The Bear saying "yes chef" after every bite. The pizza hit my cravings like no tomorrow. I was hungover & started my girly pop cycle & I knew I needed to indulge, so that's exactly what I did. All I know is I will be back - I will walk the lake before and after if it means I get to try every single pizza on the menu.

Staff was super friendly. Our pizza is amazing and the specialty sodas were fantastic.

Excellent pizza! Delicious flavors and I am in love with the garlic wings! Order ahead and you can just park, grab, and go. They're pretty popular so be prepared to wait if you're ordering to go. They also have dine in service as well.

I always enjoy square pie guys. It's a bit pricey for 4 pieces of pizza but the ingredients are well worth it. It's my favorite pizza in Oakland. I typically grab take out rather than eating at the restaurant due to the area square pie guys is located. The inside is clean and bright. Street parking is available but hard to find a spot since it's downtown Oakland. Service is quick and friendly. My favorite was the spicy Ellen but is now gone. I also enjoy their other seasonal specials.

Ended up checking out Square Pie Guys after all the hype. While it's a bit expensive for what you get, it's still a great take on Detroit Deep Dish. We ended up getting two for two people, but we ended up being full after two slices. Just be warned that everybody's got the same idea around their Old Oakland location - lots of people double parked!

Great owners who have delivered consistent, high-quality pizza (and other offerings) in their different locations, including through Local Kitchens which makes it even easier to get Square Pie Guys pizza when in a pinch. Love their Detroit-style pizza and the abundance of toppings that are creatively combined in their different signature pizzas, which include a terrific crust and a range of different sauces. Hard to pick a favorite really, but if pushed, I would choose the Big Von filled with Italian sausage and pepperoni on top of a white sauce and drizzled with hot honey! Others we love include the Plant Square 2.0 which includes a mix of mushrooms, green olives, roasted broccoli, and blistered cherry tomatoes on top of a red sauce, as well as the classic 6 x 8 pepperoni. We've also used them for catering at work, and they were easy to work with and the food was hot and on time.

I was staying at a hotel just down the block and looking for something good to eat. The hotel recommended this place for excellent and unique pizza. The pizza was unique because it comes in a 6 x 8 size, and it is essentially a personal Detroit-style pizza. My pizza was hot. The crust was excellent. The amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings were all in a perfect proportion. If you're in the area, I would undoubtedly say this is a fun place to stop and enjoy a personal Detroit pizza. The person at the counter was friendly and humorous; they took excellent care of us both when they took the order when they served us the food, and as they checked on us to see if we needed anything else If you're in the area, I would undoubtedly say this is a fun place to stop and enjoy a personal Detroit pizza

Clearing out my camera roll... photos are from two different visits here. I came here a few months ago with a friend. The service was okay. Staff is very busy as expected because we came late into the evening for dinner. The pizza is so good. If you don't eat pizza often and you like real gourmet pizza, it is definitely worth the price. The chicken wings are good also. The salad was delicious.
