Drake's Dealership

A New Haven-style pizza, characterized by its oblong shape and a thin, blistered crust fired in a wood-burning oven, serves as the culinary anchor of Drake’s Dealership. This Uptown Oakland destination, housed in a former Dodge service department, seamlessly blends industrial heritage with a sophisticated approach to gastropub fare. The signature 'Joey' pizza, topped with savory meats and a hint of pine smoke, offers a satisfying crunch and a complex flavor profile. Aroma is a defining feature, with the scent of fire pits and hoppy pale ales permeating the expansive outdoor beer garden. Technique is further explored in the duck confit, which appears across the menu in various guises, providing a rich, succulent texture that pairs perfectly with the brewery’s bold IPAs. The spicy fries, dusted with togarashi and served with Sriracha mayo, add a vibrant, heat-driven dimension to the meal. This is a space where the scale of the venue is matched by the ambition of a menu that elevates classic beer-friendly dishes through expert execution.
