Little Star Pizza

I had already been to the Little Star in Oakland and was thrilled to see it in Albany. My friends stay in El Cerrito and we were feeling like having pizza so opted for the Litte Star :) We enjoyed the broccoli parmesan to start with and furtherly enjoyed the simple margherita pizza thin crust (we asked for it as they don't have it on the menu) which was delicious - my 4 years old enjoyed it to the fullest :). The deep dish was nice and light and very flavorful! Lovely place and buzzing with life which is good to see post a pandemic :)

Terrible experience, service has really declined over the years. Took 20 minutes to take my order, then another 1 as a half hours for it to arrive. Hostess initially blamed it on the deep dish taking longer, but at the end admitted that the order got lost. That's just totally unacceptable quality of service, their job is to ensure that the food and experience is pleasant. Disappointed that she didn't own up to her mistake. When it finally arrived, the food was dry and cold, I suspect that she forgot about it, not the kitchen. In any case, avoid this location, it's not worth your time.

Beautiful and spacious interior, good for a family night out or a romantic couples evening. Service is excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive. The pizza were pretty good. Their signature deep dish was bursting with flavor, their cornmeal crust almost like a crunchy cornbread biscuit. The thin crust chicken pesto was a bit disappointing in comparison. Pretty decent, especially the pesto, but the chicken a little dry and the crust a little overbaked. Overall a good experience for both lunch and dinner.
