The Star on Park

Bomb, per usual! Service was great and the environment is always chill. Got the Dinner for Two and loved every bite. We love this place!!

Making a reservation for a party of 13 was easy over the phone. I was assured we would have a table upstairs. But after checking in last night at 7:30 pm for the reservation. We were given a table downstairs in front. No big deal. We actually had a party of 12 and a high chair. The service from start to finish was very slow and our server was absent at many times.Our server took about 10 minutes to come by and just take our drink orders. One of the mint tea orders didn't arrive until the food came out. Many of the people in our table got the meal deal. But few of us ordered individual pies specifically the Detroit style bbq chicken and large deep dish all star. Some of us thought the bbq chicken could've more bbq sauce. After getting everyone's order the server didn't return to check on the table to ask if everything tasted ok or if we needed anything else. At about 9 pm the restaurant was emptying out and I looked around and couldn't see any staff on the floor to ask for a check. After finally flagging down the server and asking for the bill. He brought it in a scorching hot glass, it must've just came out of the dishwasher because it was very hot. I wanted to pay but again looked around and server was not around. I walked over to him directly to pay. To my surprise he was at the bar talking to the bartender about a party he went to for New Year's Eve. The disappointing part is paying 18% mandatory gratuity of $50.22 for service that was non existent and lacking throughout.

Came here on a busy night and thankfully our party of 2 was seated right away. What did not happen throughout the night was the right away service. We waited on a number of times for staff to get our order, bring our drink (I believe they forgot since I had to ask someone else), and get our check. The food I have always been a fan of and there is always plenty of leftovers if you get the deep-dish. As beautiful as the interior is as some have mentioned the vendor did not do the best job in creating an atmosphere. The dining area looks like a bunch of random scattered tables and chair put together and it is extremely noisy due to the open space.We got the - Pesto Chicken deep dish - filling and good- Burrata Crostini - very goodAll of their drinks of delicious Overall I would not come back to this location considering there is a The Star location by Lake Merritt that offers a better atmosphere and you can hear the person across from you talking

One of my favorite stops while in Alameda CA, I love the deep dish pizza. We heard that they have a lunch special so we headed down. We ordered a classic thin crust pizza, deep dish classic and a mixed green salad. The pizza was good as always and I was very happy with the salad. $11. Eat For the pizzas and $4 for the salad. What a good deal. The service was good, the servers friendly. It's a nice casual place to enjoy your lunch.

Came here for the first time a few weeks back and split a pizza with a friend - I forget what we got exactly, but it was on a thin crust and they let us split two pizza types 50/50, which was nice of them! We sat at the bar and I didn't catch his name, but our bartender was friendly and helpful. Pizza came out quickly and all the toppings were delicious. I also got a Paper Plane cocktail which was... generously poured (not necessarily in a bad way.)The ambience of the space is gorgeous - a bit strange being on the renovated inside of a two-story bank (including a huge vault behind the bar), but still gorgeous nonetheless. Had a great time and I'll definitely be back!

The Star on Park is a beautiful piece of historic Alameda. It is a landmark, known for being the location of The First Bank of Alameda (Google it!). The interior has been restored to its former glory; even the original vault exteriors remain (unsure if the vault areas are open).We were a little worried that the one employee working the front who was taking orders, making drinks, bussing tables, and serving food and drinks was going to be too stretched thin to cater to us, but he was a multitasking rockstar. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time (15 minutes or so after ordering), and he was able to wrangle some help from the back to bring the food out.We tried all different types of pizzas: thin crust, deep dish, Detroit style, and their thin crust was a clear winner. This was my first time trying Carbonara pizza, and it was excellent! I also ordered the Caesar salad and love that it came with anchovies - not every place offers them. In addition to the thin crust Carbonara, we also had a thin crust Little Star with fresh and roasted garlic mixed (must try! 5/5), a Detroit style Pesto Chicken, and a deep dish All Star. The wings are a must, too!The Star is part of a family of pizza restaurants scattered around the Bay Area, so it's very likely that you have been to one of their sister restaurants since they've been around for at least a decade. I've seen that they expanded to Oregon, which means they must be doing something right!

The Star Alameda is my favorite pizzeria in town! Kilian and Augusta are so kind, helpful, and caring. Probably the main reason why I choose to dine here. I wish the candied walnuts would stay with the goddess salad. I like having the option of having them added though. I understand for "nickel and dimming" costs, I can imagine people who don't care for walnuts or are a member of the anti-nuts allergy era but to my friends and me, we DIG THE WALNUTS. In fact, that's the main attraction whenever we order the Goddess. The thin-crusted Italian combo is my fav! And the meatballs rocks also! The interior design updates are awesome! I love the new layout! Most of all, I love staring at the chandelier and murals! This building space is simply divine. Thanks for the superior service always! Happy holidays! And all the best!

The food is what will get you to come back. Winning recipes for sure. However this amazing building is wasted with a cold to non existant atmosphere. TVs on for no apparent reason. There is an attempt to reorganize the dining area to bring some life to this place. Waiting staff are doing their job nothing less nothing more.

I love this spot, particularly for happy hours! The pizzas, salads, sides, sandwiches, and drinks are all delicious. Prices are affordable, the staff is very welcoming, and the place feels at once both spacious and intimate because of the dimmed lighting. Highly recommend! Easy to find street parking and lots of places to walk around and visit nearby.

This was our first time here. We came here to celebrate my 50th birthday and had a great time. We had a party of 27 and called the day before to see if they could accommodate us. Even though it was last minute, they quickly responded and got us set up. We had a separate area for our party which was perfect. The area was up a flight of stairs and I thought the service might lack a little because of that. I was wrong! Our waitress took great care of us for the 3 hours we were there. She was very attentive and took care of the whole party. The food was great and we had a great time. We will be back soon! Highly recommended eating here.
