Dumpling House is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Dumpling House, 2105 Lincoln Ave. (at Willow St.), Alameda
Forge Rockridge
After shuttering its Jack London Square location last December, Oakland mainstay Forge Pizza reopens today (April 29) in what was formerly Beer Baron’s Rockridge location. You’ll find classic pies as well as a selection of non-pizza apps and mains (try the Angry Prawns with lemon-harissa vinaigrette, cucumber yogurt, dill, and charred lime), plus cocktails like the Attitude Adjustment (peppercorn-infused bourbon, select aperitivo, cynar, lemon, demerana and smoked chili bitters). Head to Instagram for details on opening hours. Forge Rockridge, 5900 College Ave. (at Chabot Rd.), Oakland
