I dog sit around the corner and hadn't had a chance to try this place out yet. Decided to give it a go. You order online only. Prices are little high. I ordered a 12" Hawaiian and a singular cookie and it was almost $30. Took about 40 minutes, and I walked over and picked it up. Walked back to the apartment, and dug in. The crust and ingredients were all good. The cookie was a little dry, but nothing a little milk wouldn't fix. Would I eat here again? Maybe next time I dog sit. Would I go out of my way? Probably not.

I lived on Wesley a few houses down from leaning tower of pizza between 2003-2005. My favorite pizza in the bay by far. I am in town for work and had it for the first time in over a decade on 9/17/24. I was so happy it tasted the same way I remember it! There is something about the crust, cheese, and sauce combination that makes it the best. New ownership since I lived there, but the recipes are clearly respected and the same. Give your business to this local spot and keep this place going so I can come back and eat the best pizza in the Bay Area!

So tasty!! It's take out only so you'll have to prepare accordingly. They haven't built back the restaurant after Covid, so it's not cozy, aka you can't eat there. The staff was kind when we picked up the food. It's fairly pricy. 100$ for 2 pizzas (large and small) and a salad.

Classic, comforting pizza. This place is a casual pizza joint with to-go only service. The mushroom special was umami packed, fresh, and had a super soft, bread-y crust. The Caesar salad was the real MVP for me. Instead of croutons, you can expect toasty, crunchy breadcrumbs, ensuring that once mixed, you will get a nice crunch in every bite. Perfect meal for a night in pared with a glass of wine!

Old school since 1972. I called first to make sure they were open as they do not open up early even on a weekend. They have slices for sale to our surprise so we ordered a cheese and a pepperoni and sat outside on their sidewalk chairs and table. The slices are $4 each and they are big slices but super oily which I used a napkin to absorb the oil before taking a bite. It had good flavor and even the crust was yummy.

Our family has ordered the Mushroom Special previously over the four (4) years we've been taking out from Leaning Tower. On this particular visit, it seemed as though the quality of the mozzarella cheese had been diminished and the mushroom topping recipe also did not have the same savoriness as in the past. Something changed and unfortunately not for the good. Also, the crust's elasticity and crispness was difficult to discern as it was burnt. We also thought the dough was sourdough in the past...this is also not the case anymore. The Mushroom Special used to possess a flavor profile and quality that made it worthy of being higher priced, but no longer as it is seemingly no longer prepared in the manner that qualified to be "special". Please bring back the quality of the Mushroom Special that earned its claim to fame otherwise please scratch it from the Leaning Tower menu.

Wow. I have finally met a pizza I do not like. Soggy and gummy crust. Something about the pineapple and sausage pie made it completely inedible. We all woke up feeling like dog-shit after. I can only eat sourdough crust but wow, was this bad. Better to go to Red Boy or Nick's. We tried to support an old local spot but that was terrible.

I'd highly recommend their New York style pizza, their Detroit style is pretty good but a little too spongy for me. Great overall pizza place though.

I've gotten the Margherita pizza here a few times. I think it is excellent.This pizza does not travel well. It's super thin so it gets super soggy which I do not like.When I've gotten slices at the shop, they were excellent and crispy (perhaps a recook, but no complaints).Might be my favorite pizza in Oakland.
