I had purchased two different slices to try out. I was pleasantly surprised on the crust being super thin and cooked very well when you pickup the slice it held up well. The sauce on the other hand wasn't up to my liking, not bad though, I will return for another slice on a different day, We will see. I almost forgot to mention that the pizzeria inside was very put together, looks like a good place to hangout after hours

F1 on the big screen, cold drinks, hot pie! Don't sleep on the wings either(the honey butter business is not to be missed) whole pies or by the slice, this is a great stop before or after an Oakland Baller's game. Go B's! Say hey to Scrappy for me

Tried the sausage and pepperoni slice, SOOO GOOD. The sauce was delicious and the crust was tasty. It was a bit expensive $14 for two slice but very good pizza.

Prescott market is a cool place in general. Haven’t tried all the food there but most looked great. Pizzeria Violetta however was fantastic. If you’re a big fan of the NY style thin crust you will love this place. It can be really busy so be willing to chill out and wait. Shouldn’t be a problem as there are several places to hang out and also plenty of options for drinks. If kids aren’t your thing (no judgement). You’re going to want to grab a pizza for take out. Chicken wings were also really good and they even have dessert pizzas which are delicious. Italian sandwich was great but if you aren’t going to eat it right away then you better tell them no oil. Great place, cool vibe and really great food.

I’ve had many slices of pizza here and they were all perfect, especially the eggplant and the mushroom/garlic. Today I tried the eggplant sandwich and I’m so glad I did! Fresh, high quality ingredients cooked to great satisfaction. It’s also a fun place to spend time, with a full bar, good music and nice staff. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

I LOVE Prescott Market and the revitalization of this space. Pizzeria Violetta, went with some colleagues for lunch, had the eggplant Parm sandwich, it was delicious. Cool vibe inside, good music and staff. My only feedback is instead of shredded iceburg lettuce on a warm sando that gets soggy, either change to arugula (it's more peppery and heartier), use fresh basil, or do no lettuce. I loved the peppers though!
