Sliver Pizzeria, a Cheeseboard Pizza spin-off with a social mission opens Monday, January 14th at 11am. Sliver will offer one type of pizza each day using fresh seasonal ingredients combined to create unique and inventive pizza topping, similar to the Cheeseboard. In fact, the three owners of Sliver are Cheeseboard veterans, with over 40 years combined experience working in the famed Gourmet Ghetto pizzeria. In addition to pizza, Sliver will serve delicious fresh salads with a full bar, and live music for both lunch and dinner. Sliver Pizzeria is partnering with Not For Sale and other anti-slavery organizations to empower the fight against human trafficking around the world. Enjoy delicious artisanal pizza in the heart of Downtown Berkeley while helping fight human trafficking!

The First Annual Berkeley Restaurant Week offers special, $30 three course prix fixe dinner menus at 20 leading Berkeley restaurants (9 in Downtown Berkeley)! Presented by Visit Berkeley, Berkeley Restaurant Week venues set up a delicious, "around-the-world in Berkeley" tour including Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen, Anh Hong, Belli Osteria, Bistro Liaison, Comal, FIVE at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza, Gather, Giovanni, and Revival Bar & Kitchen.

Only Berkeley Rep could unleash this wild world premiere, commissioned from hot young playwright Dan LeFranc. It's nineteen mighty-four. In working-class Rhode Island, Bradley and his bestest friend tangle with rich kid Jake Miller and his middle-school goons. And their nemesis has help from a bunch of zombies and grown-ups! Put down that backpack, turn up the soundtrack and let's cut class. Faster than a speedboat, more fun than a video game, Troublemaker has a sassy mouth and an irresistible heart of gold.
