Little Star Pizza

Review for 3 adults and 1 child on a Saturday night dinner (6p and later arrival):- still had some tables around 6p on a Saturday night- easy to order- small ceasar salad fed the 4 of us hungry people as appetizer- ordered 12" deep dish pizza - wonderful crispy crust. A little salty but really good.- 9" square Detroit pizza: great flavors and again, great crust!- note for next time: might make reservations just in case.- would go there again!

Decided to try this new place. I've driven past it so many days going up Solano but never stopped. Went in for lunch time. The decor is cute but a little dark. The service was quick. Ordered their personal pizza Old School not realizing that the garlic was raw. That was on me. Had the mixed salad- quite tasty but the walnuts were bitter. Was definitely an interesting meal and I have to go back again to try another pizza and salad before I write them off

I wrote a review of my experience a couple weeks ago, and strangely I don't see it--- so I'm going to rewrite it....Went there for a gluten-free pizza (just sauce and cheese)--- asked the waitress if the kitchen can add some extra sauce. The pizza came back covered, I mean COVERED in so much cheese--- swimming in cheese and oil. I asked her what happened--- it seemed the chefs put extra cheese, and she said she wasn't sure. (?) I was so hungry and didn't want to waste it, so I ate a few pieces, cutting away the cheese I didn't want to eat.Wound up feeling bad later that night. :(Please--- kitchen staff--- if someone asks for some extra sauce, put some extra sauce, and that's it!!Otherwise the place was ok--- the waitress was pretty nice, that hostess seemed pretty bored--- but it was a quiet night.I'll come back and try Little Star another time, but that's it.

TIP: order half and half to try 2 different themed pizzas! 1 of my favorite spots for a great deep dish pizza. My current favorite specialty is the Deep Brass Monkey which is considered a secret menu item! It has sausage, spinach blended with ricotta & feta, mushrooms, onions, choice of fresh or roasted garlic, such a great combo. The little star deep dish is another classic with spinach blended with ricotta & feta, mushrooms, onions, choice of fresh or roasted garlic.1 thing I'm sad about Little Star Pizza is that they may have seasonal or limited time specialty pizzas but I usually order online for pick-up and don't see the limited time specialty items which are only written on a board in-store for in-store ordering. Maybe I need to try calling in for my order next time and ask about any current specials!

I went to Little Star after a long day at work. It was delicious. I would go back for sure during Happy Hour. It definitely hit the spot and I am pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to go back. Happy hour salad, personal size pizzas and meatballs!

Cool, modern style Italian pizza spot in Albany. Good variety of pizza options and sizes. You can even have it thin, deep dish or Detroit style. They also have a full bar (which I like). Ordered the Little Star with thin crust, which came out fast. Pizza was just as I would expect and will come back and try other pizzas. Want to try the happy hour times as well. Nice locale on Solano Ave.

I believe in giving credit when credit is due, and man little star hits it out of the park again! On this early Friday night, the place was completely full...line out the door full. Food and drinks were pouring out of the kitchen wicked fast. Happy hour (now 3-530) is still the BEST happy hour in Albany. The happy hour salads are what keep bringing me back. My favorite Greek salad is just $7 and add a glass of wine for $7 and I'm very happy during happy hour. The new cheesy garlic bread sticks made my midwestern husband swoon. Kids love the pizza. Staff are A+. A true local gem. Keep up the great work!

The flavors of the pizza were decent. I wasn't the biggest fan of the crust. I had this delivered for lunch, so I'm unsure about the service/ ambiance of the restaurant. Not the worst pizza, but not the best.

As a kid, Little Star was a decadently filling dinner! The sad thing is that pizza is never on my radar, since I don't eat dairy. But fast forward now, I finally paid a visit since they offer dairy-free options!I made reservations at 5:00 pm for my Dad and me to enjoy happy hour and sit outside with my puppy. That in itself is a pro--vegan-friendly, dog-friendly, and happy hour options! Outside seating is in a small semi-alley, super casual, breezy, and quieter. Inside is quite nice, spacious, and relaxed--I wouldn't mind coming back to dine inside. Service was as expected--friendly and prompt.Dad and I shared a Small White Pie. We subbed the feta with vegan cheese. It was a lighter pizza, fresh with zucchini and tomatoes, and had a nice garlic and olive oil crust. Loved that it was thin crust and so easy to eat! Since it's vegan cheese don't expect any traditional dairy cheese looks or tastes. The cheese pull was nonexistent, it was sort of gooey and greasy, and had a particular taste and texture. My dad was not a fan but had to suck it up for me. I thought it was enjoyable but I wouldn't get it if I didn't need to. We also enjoyed happy hour drinks and he got the happy hour Meatballs. I didn't have any but he ate them all up.Little Star is a small but mighty pizza shop located in the Bay Area plus Oregon. Their location in Albany is popular and a must-visit on Solano Ave. for pizza lovers! Parking is easily found on the street, in the back lot, or the neighborhood. I'll be back with friends, family, and my pup!

After I got my haircut yesterday in Berkeley, we came here for lunch. Service was very slow. We had to wait a while to get seated even though they were only two tables that had people seated.I think there was only one staff member walking around at the time. After we got seated we waited a bit until we could get our menus. There's a lot of waiting. Food came out pretty quick. Our waitress was friendly. We ordered a 9 inch All-Star Pizza deep dish. There were six decent size slices in one pizza. All Star flavor is the tastiest because it has so many different things in it. It's probably the least healthy because it has a lot of processed meats like bacon and sausage. It also has meatballs and pepperoni. The pepperoni is really good when it comes out because it's crunchy. Eating in the restaurant is really nice because the crust is perfect and super crispy. We really enjoyed the salad as well. We order a small little gem with candy walnuts but the small size was actually quite large. The Little gems are not that little. You have to cut them in smaller pieces to eat it. All in all, the salad was very fresh tasting and we enjoyed it. Definitely will come back and have more food when we're in the mood for it in Berkeley..Good clean ambience. The bathroom lighting needs to be better. Very dark in the bathroom but the lights that are on the mirror are too bright.
