New dining options enhance Oakland Ballers field experience

The area around the Oakland Ballers field at Raimondi Park offers a variety of dining options for fans and visitors. From pizza to tacos and beer, there are several places to enjoy a meal before or after a game. One notable spot is June’s Pizza, opened by chef Craig Murli. After years in fine dining, he wanted to provide quality pizza to everyone. His restaurant serves unique whole-wheat sourdough pies made with fresh, local ingredients. They also offer late-night margherita slices and special events like DJ nights. Another exciting addition is Prescott Market, which will open this spring. This venue features several local eateries under one roof, along with outdoor seating. It has evolved from a popular food truck night market to a permanent location with eight planned food vendors, including Fast Times Burgers and Pizzeria Violetta. Brix Factory Brewing is a new brewery co-founded by John Gillooly, known for his work at other craft breweries. Brix focuses on making approachable beers, offering a range from IPAs to lagers. It has an inviting space where fans can enjoy a drink, and it has become a sponsor of the Ballers this season. For taco lovers, The Taco Panzon truck, operated by Martha Barajas, has been serving delicious carnitas and carne asada tacos for over 20 years. Located at West Grand Avenue and Campbell Street, it is a favorite spot for those attending Ballers games. Lastly, Mike Davie, known as “The Hot Dog Mayor,” sells hot dogs at the Ballers games. He engages with fans while selling quality franks with various toppings. His lively personality has made him a local celebrity among game-goers. These eateries and vendors make a great choice for dining while enjoying the excitement of the Ballers games.
