What a disgrace. This is the worst build-your-own pizza joint I have ever visited. First of all, the toppings here are not unlimited, unlike at Blaze or Pieology, so cost-wise, it makes no sense to come here.
In terms of the quality of the food, they use way too much cornmeal, so the pizza crust has a jarring texture. To add, the workers flatten the pizza dough by hand, which does not work when the pizzas are fast-casual because the dough cannot cook evenly in their oven. There were parts of the pizza that were undercooked and doughy that still imparted an unpleasant and rugged texture to the tongue due to the excessive coating of cornmeal.
The topping options here are limited in terms of available offerings as well as cost. They did not appear to be that fresh anyway.
Lotsa is in a prime location in Oakland and while the space is nice (I like the big garage-style windows), yet food is terrible enough to keep me away.
